<p>Bananas and plantains are a major staple food and export product in many countries.<strong> </strong>Banana fruit tissues contain large amounts of secondary compounds, polysaccharides and other plant polymers which will interfere with protein extraction for gel-based proteomic analysis. Due to presence of very small amount of proteins (approximately 1%) in a large matrix of fruit tissues, it classified as ‘recalcitrant’.  In this connection, assessment of different protein extraction protocols and extraction of high quality proteins from banana fruit tissues is crucial for successful gel-based proteome analysis.   In this study, two different protein extraction protocols were validated to isolate proteins from banana (cv.Grand Naine) fruit peel and pulp tissues, and proteins were resolved by using SDS-PAGE.  A comparative study showed that phenol based method is effective in extracting proteins over TCA-acetone method. Isolated proteins were further subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis separation and stained with colloidal coomassie blue to visualize protein spots. On average 380 protein spots could be detected on coomassie stained two-dimensional gel and our study clearly demonstrated the differential protein accumulation during pre-climacteric and climacteric stages of banana fruit. <strong></strong></p>

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.

The aim of the present work was to characterize changes in the protein profile throughout seed development in O. catharinensis, a recalcitrant species, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Protein extraction was undertaken by using a thiourea/urea buffer, followed by a precipitation step with 10% TCA. Comparative analysis during seed development showed that a large number of proteins were exclusively detected in each developmental stage. The cotyledonary stage, which represents the transition phase between embryogenesis and the beginning of metabolism related to maturation, presents the highest number of stage-specific spots. Protein identification, through MS/MS analysis, resulted in the identification of proteins mainly related to oxidative metabolism and storage synthesis. These findings contribute to a better understanding of protein metabolism during seed development in recalcitrant seeds, besides providing information on established markers that could be useful in defining and improving somatic embryogenesis protocols, besides monitoring the development of somatic embryos in this species.
