Proteomics01:33

Proteomics

7.4K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

3.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

11.7K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Protein Organization01:24

Protein Organization

7.2K
Proteins are polymers of amino acid residues. They are versatile and responsible for different cellular functions, including DNA replication, molecular transport, catalysis, and structural support. Proteins have a hierarchical structure comprising at least three levels of organization: primary, secondary, and tertiary structure. Some large proteins have a quaternary structure where individual protein subunits are linked together.
The primary structure of a protein is its amino acid sequence....

Structural Protein Function

28.8K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Area of Science:

  • Proteomics
  • Structural Biology
  • Cellular Metabolism

Background:

  • Protein structure changes are critical for function but difficult to study globally in cells.
  • Existing methods lack the scale to analyze widespread conformational alterations within biological matrices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel method for large-scale analysis of protein conformational changes in situ.
  • To investigate how nutrient availability influences protein structures and cellular metabolism in yeast.

Main Methods:

  • Coupling limited proteolysis with a targeted proteomics workflow.
  • Simultaneous assessment of structural features for over 1,000 yeast proteins.
  • Analysis of protein conformational alterations in response to nutrient shifts.

Main Results:

  • Detected altered conformations in approximately 300 yeast proteins upon nutrient change.
  • Identified enzyme conformational changes as a regulatory mechanism in carbon metabolism.
  • Revealed structural changes in aggregation-prone proteins with functional relevance to metabolic switching.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method enables large-scale probing of subtle and pronounced protein structural changes in cellular contexts.
  • Protein conformational dynamics play a significant role in metabolic regulation, complementing transcriptional control.
  • This approach provides new insights into cellular responses to environmental cues at the proteome level.
