Sinorhizobium meliloti metabolism in the root nodule: a proteomic perspective

Proteomics
Michael Djordjevic

Abstract

The proteome of the model symbiotic bacterium, Sinorhizobium meliloti was examined to determine the enzymatic reactions and cell processes that occur when S. meliloti occupies the root nodules of Medicago truncatula and Melilotus alba. The proteomes of the nodule bacteria were compared to that of S. meliloti grown under laboratory cultured conditions as an additional control. All the detectable protein spots on the two-dimensional (2-D) gels between pH 4-7 were analyzed. In total, the identity of proteins in 1545 spots from 2-D gels was determined using peptide mass fingerprinting. There were clear differences in the proteome of nodule bacteria and cultured bacteria and putative nodule-specific and nodule suppressed proteins were identified. The data were analyzed using metabolic pathway prediction programs and used to review the biochemical and genetic studies that had been done previously on S. meliloti over several decades. There was a broad congruency between the proteomic and biochemical data when the overall pathways of central carbon and nitrogen metabolism were considered. A selective suite of ABC-type transporters was present in nodule bacteria that were biased towards the transport of amino acids and inorganic ions (P...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
