RESUMO
The sequencing of the moss Physcomitrella patens genome has facilitated studies of the plant proteome. To develop a proteome reference map based on the genome sequence, we conducted 2D electrophoreses of proteins extracted from moss protoplasts, protonemata, and gametophores grown under standard conditions on Petri dishes. On silver-stained gels, depending on the developmental stage of the moss, we resolved from 500 to 600 protein spots that were then excised and digested by trypsin, and 212 proteins were identified by PMF-MALDI-TOF. To enhance the proteome coverage, we performed 1D SDS-PAGE with subsequent separation of tryptic peptides derived from digested gel band slices by LC-ESI-MS/MS. The proposed approach allowed us to identify 186 proteins had not been determined by 2D PMF-MALDI-TOF. Proteins identified by both methods were categorized using a system of clusterization of orthologous genes as metabolism (26%), cellular processes and signaling (16%), and information storage and processing (7%). Proteome analysis by differential gel electrophoresis revealed moderate differences between filamentous protonemata and leafy shoots. Surprisingly, protoplasts isolated from protonema filaments displayed significant differences in protein composition compared with both protonemata and gametophores.

The interaction of acetyl-CoA fragments with rat liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase has been studied. Dephosphorylated acetyl-CoA did not actually differ from acetyl-CoA in its substrate properties. Non-nucleotide analogues of the substrate, S-acetylpantatheine and it's 4'-phosphate, also possess substrate properties (Vmax = 1.5% and 15% of the maximal rate value of acetyl-CoA carboxylation, respectively). The nucleotide fragment in the acetyl-CoA molecule produces a marked effect on the thermodynamics of the substrate-enzyme interaction, and is apparently involved in activation and appropriate orientation of the acetyl group in the active site. The better substrate properties of S-acetylpantetheine 4'-phosphate and the inhibitory properties of pantetheine 4'-phosphate, compared to the unphosphorylated analogues, evidence an important role of the 5'-beta-phosphate of 3'-phosphorylated ADP residue in acetyl-CoA binding to the enzyme.
