Abstract
-
The genus Salmonella contains more than 2500 serovars.
While most cause the self-limiting gastroenteritis, a few serovars
can elicit typhoid fever, a severe systemic infection.
S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium and S.
Typhi are the representatives of the gastroenteritis and typhoid
fever types of Salmonella. In this study, we adopted
Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino acids in Cell culture
(SILAC) technology to quantitatively compare the proteomes
of the two serovars. We found several proteins with serovar-
specific expression, which could be developed as new
biomarkers for clinical serotype diagnosis. We found that
flagella and chemotaxis genes were down-regulated in S.
Typhi in comparison with S. Typhimurium. We attributed
this observation to the fact that the smooth cellular structure
of S. Typhi may better fit its systemic lifestyle. Instead of
known virulence factors that were located within Salmonella
Pathogenecity Islands, a number of core genes, which were
involved in metabolism and transport of carbohydrates and
amino acids, showed differential expression between the
two serovars. Further studies on the roles of these differentially-
expressed genes in the pathogenesis should be undertaken.

Abstract

In this study, cytoplasmic membrane proteins of S. pneumoniae strain R6 (ATCC BBA-255) were effectively separated from cell wall or extracellular proteins by sodium carbonate precipitation (SCP) and ultracentrifugation. Forty seven proteins were analyzed as cytoplasmic membrane proteins from the 260 proteins identified by the shotgun proteomic method using SDS-PAGE/LC/MS-MS. ABC transporters for
metabolites such as metals, oligopeptides, phosphate, sugar, and amino acids, and membrane proteins involved in phosphotransferse systems, were identified as the predominant and abundant, cytoplasmic membrane proteins that would be essential for nutrient uptake, antibiotic resistance and virulence mechanisms. Our result supports that gel-based shotgun proteomics combined with sodium carbonate
precipitation and ultracentrifugation is an effective method for analysis of cytoplasmic membrane proteins of S. pneumoniae.

Abstract
-
Free Flow Electrophoresis (FFE) is a liquid-based isoelectric focusing method. Unlike conventional in-gel fractionation of proteins, FFE can resolve proteins in their native forms and fractionation of subcellular compartments of the cell is also possible. To test the efficacy of the FFE method, the native cytosol proteome of a bacterium, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was fractionated by FFE and the spectrum of protein elutes was characterized in association with 2-dimentional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Major native proteins of P. putida KT2440 were eluted in the range of pH 4.8~6.0 in FFE, whereas the denatured proteome of P. putida KT2440 was widely distributed in the rage of pH 4~10 in the 2-DE analysis. In addition, one of the three FFE major fractions, which was eluted at pH 5.0, was further analyzed using 2-DE/MS-MS. Then, the pH range of identified proteins eluted in 2-DE/MS-MS was 4.72~5.89, indicating that observed pI values of native cytosolic proteomes in FFE were narrower than those of denatured cytosolic proteome. These results suggest that FFE fractionation and 2-DE/MS analysis may be useful tools for characterization of native proteomes of P. putida KT2440 and comparative analysis between denatured and native proteomes.

Abstract
-
In order to understand the functional role of CPR1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae KNU5377 with regard to its multi-tolerance characteristics against high temperatures, inorganic acids, and oxidative stress conditions, whole cellular proteins were analyzed via liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). This procedure was followed by two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. Under menadione stress conditions, the 23 upregulated proteins were clearly identified only in the wildtype strain of KNU5377. Among the proteins, Sod1p, Tsa1p, Ahp1, Cpr1p, Cpr3, Ssb2p, and Hsp12p were identified as components of antioxidant systems or protein-folding related systems. The CPR1 protein could not be completely detected in the cpr1Δ mutant of KNU5377 and the other upregulated proteins in the wild-type strain evidenced a clear correlation with the results of immunoblot analysis. Moreover, a reduction in growth patterns (about 50%) could be observed in the cpr1Δ mutant, as compared with that of the wild-type strain under mild MD stress conditions. These results indicate that the upregulation of CPR1 may contribute to tolerance against MD as an inducer of oxidative stress.
