The IGBB is a member of the NIH-funded Mississippi IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (Mississippi INBRE or MS-INBRE), a program designed to build biomedical infrastructure throughout the state. Through MS-INBRE, Mississippi students and faculty at Mississippi's undergraduate institutions are (1) trained in biomedical research techniques, (2) given the opportunity to work with top researchers at Mississippi's major research universities, (3) afforded access to state-of-the-art bioscience equipment, and (4) provided with assistance in preparing grant proposals. The IGBB serves as the MS-INBRE proteomics/computational biology core. For more information about MS-INBRE, click here.

DOWNLOAD PDFABSTRACTHere we identify, using nonelectrophoretic proteomics, effects of subminimum inhibitory concentrations (subMIC) of two antibiotic preparations, chlortetracycline (CTC), and chlortetracycline-sulfamethazine (CTC + SMZ), on protein expression in the bovine respiratory pathogen Mannheimia haemolytica. The M. haemolytica genome is currently in draft form, and annotation is incomplete. Relying on the principle of gene sequence conservation across species, we used annotated genomes from closely related species to identify, confirm, and functionally annotate 495 M. haemolytica proteins. To conduct quantitative comparative proteomics, we developed a protein quantitation method based on the cross correlation function of the SEQUEST algorithm. When M. haemolytica was cultivated in the presence of 1/4 MIC of CTC and CTC + SMZ, expression of proteins involved in energy production, nucleotide metabolism, translation, and the bacterial stress response (chaperones) were affected. The most notable subMIC effect was a significant decrease in the expression of leukotoxin A, which is an important M. haemolytica virulence factor. Reduction in leukotoxin expression could be one of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the efficacy of these antibiotics against bovine respiratory disease.
