Proteomics & Metabolomics
In addition to doing work on existing IGBB projects, the IGBB proteomics staff can
perform a variety of mass spectrometry and other proteomics services for MS State principal investigators and
IGBB collaborators. Such research can be performed through a Proposal Partnership,
a Research Agreement, or the Service Center.
The
IGBB's proteomics staff has considerable expertise in...
- Protein isolation/purification from all types of organisms/tissues
- 1D & 2D gel electrophoresis
- Gel- and non-gel-based mass spectrometry
- Protein identification
- Discovery and characterization of post-translational modifications;
- Quantitative proteomics
- Comparative proteomics & metabolomics
- Western blotting & protein visualization
- Integration of proteomic and nucleic acids data (e.g., proteogenomic
mapping)
- Functional annotation of proteins using Gene Ontology (GO)
standards and procedures
With regard to mass spectrometers, the IGBB's proteomics staff utilizes a ThermoFisher LTQ Orbitrap Velos, a Waters Nano ESI Q-TOF (model Xevo G2-S), and an Applied Biosystems (now ThermoFisher) MALDI TOF TOF. The LTQ Orbitrap Velos and the Nano ESI Q-TOF are fitted with upstream HPLC sample
purification systems.

NOTE: PIs are asked to consider whether the participation of an IGBB employee in a project merits that employee's inclusion as a co-author on a resulting manuscript(s). The decision ultimately lies with the PI. However, the IGBB encourages IGBB staff and faculty involved in
Proposal Partnerships and
Research Agreements to discuss/negotiate co-authorship with PIs before starting work on a project.

DOWNLOAD PDFABSTRACTThe eukaryotic chromatin/chromosome stores genomic information, controls genetic material distribution, and plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of spatial and temporal gene expression profile. Despite over a century of research, the protein composition and higher level structure of chromatin still remain obscure, particularly in plants. In this report, we have developed a protocol for chromatin purification from rice suspension cells and examined proteins copurified with chromatin using both 2-DE gel and shotgun approaches. Nine hundred seventy-two distinct protein spots have been resolved on 2-DE gels and 509 proteins have been identified by MALDI-MS/MS following gel excision, which correspond to 269 unique proteins. When the chromatin copurified proteins are examined using shotgun method, a large number of histone variants in addition to the four common core histones have been identified. Other proteins identified include nucleosome assembly proteins, high mobility group proteins, histone modification proteins, transcription factors, and a large number of hypothetical and function unknown proteins. Furthermore, putative phosphoproteins copurified with chromatin have been examined using Pro-Q Diamond phosphoprotein stain and followed by MALDI-MS/MS. Our studies have provided valued new insight into chromatin composition in plants.
