Proteomic analysis by iTRAQ-PRM provides integrated insight into mechanisms of resistance in pepper to Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)

Abstract

Background The Bemisia tabaci is a major leaf feeding insect pest to pepper ( Capsicum annuum ), causing serious damage to pepper growth and yield. It is particularly important to study the mechanism of pepper resistance to B. tabaci , and to breed and promote the varieties of pepper resistant to B. tabaci . However, very limited molecular mechanism is available about how plants perceive and defend themselves from the destructive pest. Proteome technologies have provided an idea method for studying plant physiological processes in response to B. tabaci . Results Here, a highly resistant genotype and a highly susceptible genotype were exposed to B. tabaci feeding for 48 h to explore the defense mechanisms of pepper resistance to B. tabaci . The proteomic differences between both genotypes were compared using isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ). The quantitative data were validated by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). The results showed that 37 differential abundance proteins (DAPs) were identified in the RG (resistant genotype), while 17 DAPs were identified in the SG (susceptible genotype) at 48 h after B. tabaci feeding. 77 DAPs were identified when comparing RG with SG without feeding. The DAP functions were determined for the classification of the pathways, mainly involved in redox regulation, stress response, protein metabolism, lipid metabolism and carbon metabolism. Some candidate DAPs are closely related to B. tabaci resistance such as annexin D4-like (ANN4), calreticulin-3 (CRT3), heme-binding protein 2-like (HBP1), acidic endochitinase pcht28-like (PR3) and lipoxygenase 2 (LOX2). Conclusions Taken together, this study indicates complex resistance-related events in B. tabaci interaction, provides novel insights into the molecular mechanism underlying the response of plant to B. tabaci , and identifies some candidate proteins against B. tabaci attack.

Integrated proteome and transcriptome analyses revealed key factors involved in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) under high temperature stress

“…Six of proteins (K4AXS2, GS2; K4B1S1, CPHSC70-2; K4DAD5, CPN60A; Q2QJT5, ASR4; Q9M5A8, CPN20; K4AYG3, PRPL1) were selected at random for further verification. As shown in Figure 3, the trend of these DEPs checked by PRM was agreed with the results of the iTRAQ quantification, which indicated high reliability of the proteomic results (Wu et al, 2019).…”

Greenbug (Schizaphis graminum) herbivory significantly impacts protein and phosphorylation abundance in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)

“…Proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool to explore physiological changes at the cellular level 35,36 and has been used to study plant defense responses to herbivory 19,22,23,37 . The present study is a comprehensive analysis of changes occurring to the switchgrass proteome and phosphoproteome in response to GB herbivory.…”

Comparative proteomic analysis of silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats based on tandem mass tag (TMT) quantitation technology

“…For protein quantization, the protein was required to contain at least one unique peptide. The quantitative protein ratios were weighted and normalized by the median ratio in Mascot [ 20 , 21 ]. For three biological replicates, the ratio of mean expression between model and control was defined as fold changes (FC).…”
