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.

They are classified in the genus Rubus, which comprises hundreds of species and has a center of origin in the Far East. Rubus is divided into 15 subgenera with blackberries classified in the Rubus (formerly Eubatus) and raspberries in the Idaeobatus subgenera. Rubus species are propagated vegetatively and are subject to infection by viruses during development, propagation, and fruit production stages. Reports of initial detection and symptoms of more than 30 viruses, virus-like diseases, and phytoplasmas affecting Rubus spp. were reviewed more than 20 years ago. Since the last review on Rubus viruses, significant progress has been made in the molecular characterization of many of the viruses that infect Rubus spp. Currently, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction detection methods are available for most of the viruses known to infect Rubus. The goals of this article are to update the knowledge on previously characterized viruses of Rubus, highlight recently described viruses, review the virus-induced symptoms, describe the advances made in their detection, and discuss our knowledge about several virus complexes that cause serious diseases in Rubus. Virus complexes have been identified recently as the major cause of diseases in blackberries and raspberries.
