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.
To discuss the possibility of having the IGBB conduct
proteomics research in collaboration with you, please submit a ticket through the MyIGBB HelpDesk.
An IGBB proteomics consultant will respond to your query as quickly as possible
(usually within 24 hours).
A listing of IGBB Standard Services and their prices -- including information and prices for Training and Self-Service Equipment Usage -- is available in the Standard Services Catalog in MyIGBB and in PDF form via the link below.

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 PDFABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play a crucial role in initiating infection in a host-pathogen system. Identification of these PPIs is important for understanding the underlying biological mechanism of infection and identifying putative drug targets. Database resources for studying host-pathogen systems are scarce and are either host specific or dedicated to specific pathogens. RESULTS: Here we describe "HPIDB" a host-pathogen PPI database, which will serve as a unified resource for host-pathogen interactions. Specifically, HPIDB integrates experimental PPIs from several public databases into a single, non-redundant web accessible resource. The database can be searched with a variety of options such as sequence identifiers, symbol, taxonomy, publication, author, or interaction type. The output is provided in a tab delimited text file format that is compatible with Cytoscape, an open source resource for PPI visualization. HPIDB allows the user to search protein sequences using BLASTP to retrieve homologous host/pathogen sequences. For high-throughput analysis, the user can search multiple protein sequences at a time using BLASTP and obtain results in tabular and sequence alignment formats. The taxonomic categorization of proteins (bacterial, viral, fungi, etc.) involved in PPI enables the user to perform category specific BLASTP searches. In addition, a new tool is introduced, which allows searching for homologous host-pathogen interactions in the HPIDB database. CONCLUSIONS: HPIDB is a unified, comprehensive resource for host-pathogen PPIs. The user interface provides new features and tools helpful for studying host-pathogen interactions.
