“…Additionally, spectral counts were normalized by dividing the spectral counts per protein by the sum of all counts per sample, multiplied by the average sum across all samples. Subsequently, the fold change (Fc) and P values between counts for detergent pellet and detergent supernatant were calculated using the beta binominal test for spectral count data (28).…”

e A striking characteristic of mycobacteria is the presence of an unusual outer membrane which forms a thick permeability barrier and provides resistance to many antibiotics. Although specialized proteins must reside in this layer, only few mycolate outer membrane (MOM) proteins have been identified to date. Their discovery is complicated by difficulties in obtaining good separation of mycobacterial inner and outer membranes. During our efforts to identify novel mycobacterial outer membrane proteins (MOMPs), we discovered that we can enrich for MOMPs using differential solubilization of mycobacterial cell envelopes. Subsequently, these different fractions were analyzed by nano liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS). This proteomic analysis confirmed that our marker proteins for inner membrane and MOM were found in their expected fractions and revealed a few interesting candidate MOMPs. A number of these putative MOMPs were further analyzed for their expression and localization in the cell envelope. One identified MOMP, MMAR_0617 of Mycobacterium marinum, was purified and demonstrated to form a large oligomeric complex. Importantly, this protein showed a clear single-channel conductance of 0.8 ؎ 0.1 ns upon reconstitution into artificial planar lipid bilayers. The most surprising feature of MMAR_0617 is a long C-terminal threonine-rich domain with extensive modifications. In summary, we have identified a novel mycobacterial outer membrane porin with unusual properties.

“…Statistical evaluation was conducted with the beta-binomial test, which takes into account the discrete nature of spectral counting data and models both within-sample variation and between-sample variation, within a single statistical framework (21). Here, the beta-binomial test was applied to identify proteins that show statistically significant differences in spectral count numbers between the group of colon tumor proximal fluid samples and the group of normal colon proximal fluid samples.…”

Purpose: Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its precursor lesions is an effective approach to reduce CRC mortality rates. This study aimed to identify novel protein biomarkers for the early diagnosis of CRC.Experimental Design: Proximal fluids are a rich source of candidate biomarkers as they contain high concentrations of tissue-derived proteins. The FabplCre;Apc 15lox/þ mouse model represents early-stage development of human sporadic CRC. Proximal fluids were collected from normal colon and colon tumors and subjected to in-depth proteome profiling by tandem mass spectrometry. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CHI3L1 human serum protein levels were determined by ELISA.Results: Of the 2,172 proteins identified, quantitative comparison revealed 192 proteins that were significantly (P < 0.05) and abundantly (>5-fold) more excreted by tumors than by controls. Further selection for biomarkers with highest specificity and sensitivity yielded 52 candidates, including S100A9, MCM4, and four other proteins that have been proposed as candidate biomarkers for human CRC screening or surveillance, supporting the validity of our approach. For CHI3L1, we verified that protein levels were significantly increased in sera from patients with adenomas and advanced adenomas compared with control individuals, in contrast to the CRC biomarker CEA.Conclusion: These data show that proximal fluid proteome profiling with a mouse tumor model is a powerful approach to identify candidate biomarkers for early diagnosis of human cancer, exemplified by increased CHI3L1 protein levels in sera from patients with CRC precursor lesions.

“…Average values for each substrate were obtained from three biological replicate experiments and used to calculate the fold changes in the normalized spectral counts (spectral counts of a protein obtained from oxalate samples divided by spectral counts of the protein obtained from the reference sample). A one-way analysis of variance with log 2 transformation was used to evaluate the statistical significance of observed changes (47). Prior to normalization, zero values were set to 1.…”

Oxalyl-Coenzyme A Reduction to Glyoxylate Is the Preferred Route of Oxalate Assimilation in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1

Oxalate catabolism is conducted by phylogenetically diverse organisms, including Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. Here, we investigate the central metabolism of this alphaproteobacterium during growth on oxalate by using proteomics, mutant characterization, and 13 C-labeling experiments. Our results confirm that energy conservation proceeds as previously described for M. extorquens AM1 and other characterized oxalotrophic bacteria via oxalyl-coenzyme A (oxalyl-CoA) decarboxylase and formyl-CoA transferase and subsequent oxidation to carbon dioxide via formate dehydrogenase. However, in contrast to other oxalate-degrading organisms, the assimilation of this carbon compound in M. extorquens AM1 occurs via the operation of a variant of the serine cycle as follows: oxalyl-CoA reduction to glyoxylate and conversion to glycine and its condensation with methylene-tetrahydrofolate derived from formate, resulting in the formation of C3 units. The recently discovered ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway operates during growth on oxalate but is nevertheless dispensable, indicating that oxalyl-CoA reductase is sufficient to provide the glyoxylate required for biosynthesis. Analysis of an oxalyl-CoA synthetase- and oxalyl-CoA-reductase-deficient double mutant revealed an alternative, although less efficient, strategy for oxalate assimilation via one-carbon intermediates. The alternative process consists of formate assimilation via the tetrahydrofolate pathway to fuel the serine cycle, and the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway is used for glyoxylate regeneration. Our results support the notion that M. extorquens AM1 has a plastic central metabolism featuring multiple assimilation routes for C1 and C2 substrates, which may contribute to the rapid adaptation of this organism to new substrates and the eventual coconsumption of substrates under environmental conditions.
