RESUMO
The present study emphases the comparative proteomic analysis of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 under cocoti palm wine stress and identified differentially expressed proteins. Protein samples were analyzed by 2-D, MALDI-TOF combined with MS access. In 2-D electrophoresis, eight differentially expressed proteins were identified: five up-regulated, two down-regulated and one newly expressed protein. Protein spots were digested with trypsin for MALDI-TOF-MS analysis; protein sequences were obtained from MASCOT search. Sequences were aligned with template using Swiss Model server. Phyre-2 was used to predict homology modeling, RasMol was used to analyze the modeling structures, PSVS server was utilized to validate the protein structure by Ramachandran's plot analysis, physical and chemical properties were analyzed using ProtParam server, Phylogenetic tree was constructed by Mega4. UniProt search helps to find protein functional information of differentially expressed proteins, involved in catalytic activities, regulation mechanisms, DNA damage stimulus, anti-termination and termination process, protein binding, electron transport mechanism, and cell signaling process functions. A detailed exploration of the proteins under cocoti palm wine stress have provided the composition, structure and functions of the expressed proteins for further investigation.
