Patterns of protein phosphorylation and synthesis during axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) oocyte maturation were studied by incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate and [35S]methionine into polypeptides, followed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Various alterations were observed after progesterone treatment: de novo appearance of [35S]methionine-labelled polypeptides, a quantitative increase in previously synthesized proteins and a quantitative decrease in or disappearance of other previously synthesized proteins. Changes in 32P- and 35S-labelling were observed very early during maturation. Neither prior oocyte enucleation nor α-amanitin treatment had a significant effect on these changes. Stimulation with MPF provided the same final protein pattern as PG treatment. However, cholera toxin inhibited all the changes seen during maturation. Comparisons between the patterns of [35S]methionine- and [32P]phosphatelabelling provide further information on the biochemical events that take place during oocyte maturation.

This study examined the event of protein phosphorylation in bovine oocytes in response to sperm penetration and parthenogenetic activation. In vitro matured oocytes were labelled with [32P]orthophosphate at 3 h intervals from 3 h to 18 h or from 0 h to 12 h following in vitro fertilisation and parthenogenetic activation, respectively. The level of protein dephosphorylation, at approximately 43 kDa, was similar in fertilised and parthenogenetically activated bovine oocytes. However, the level of protein phosphorylation at 40 kDa, 23 kDa and 18 kDa was different between these two samples. There were no such changes of protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in the control oocytes. Further, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis there is a difference in the level of protein phosphorylation at 18 kDa between the fertilised and activated oocytes. These results suggest that this protein phosphorylation may be related to the formation of the male pronucleus in bovine oocytes.

SummaryThe platelet proteins of 9 thrombasthenic patients from 7 families were analysed by high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (HR-2DE) and crossed immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). In 7 patients both glycoproteins (GPs) IIb and Ilia were absent or reduced to roughly the same extent. In two related patients only a trace of GP Ilb-IIIa complex was detected in CIE, but HR-2DE revealed a glycopeptide in the position of GP Ilia in an amount comparable to type II thrombasthenia. This GP Ilia-like component was neither recognized normally by anti-GP Ilb-IIIa antibodies nor labeled by surface iodination. In unreduced-reduced two-dimensional gel electrophoresis two components were observed in the region of GP Ilia. The assumption of a structural variant of GP Ilia in the two related patients is discussed.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disorder affecting 6–7% of premenopausal women. Recent studies revealed that the immune system especially CD4+ T helper cells are important in the context PCOS. Proteome analysis of CD4+ T lymphocytes can provide valuable information regarding the biology of these cells in the context of PCOS. Objective: To investigate immune dysregulation in CD4+ T lymphocytes at the protein level in the context of PCOS using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and mass spectrometry (MS). Methods: In the present study, we applied two-dimensional gel electrophoresis / mass spectrometry to identify proteins differentially expressed by peripheral blood CD4+ T cells in ten PCOS women compared with ten healthy women. Western blot technique was used to confirm the identified proteins. Results: Despite the overall proteome similarities, there were significant differences in the expression of seven spots between two groups (P <0.05). Three proteins, namely phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1, proteasome activator complex subunit 1 and triosephosphate isomerase 1 were successfully identified by Mass technique and confirmed by western blot. All characterized proteins were over-expressed in CD4+ T cells from patients compared to CD4+ T cells from controls (P <0.05). In-silico analysis suggested that the over-expressed proteins interact with other proteins involved in cellular metabolism especially glycolysis and ferroptosis pathway. Conclusion: These findings suggest that metabolic adjustments in CD4+ T lymphocytes, which is in favor of increased glycolysis and Th2 differentiation are important in the context of PCOS.
