Multitissue Circadian Proteome Atlas of WT and Per1/Per2 Mice.

The molecular basis of circadian rhythm, driven by core clock genes such as Per1/2, has been investigated on the transcriptome level, but not comprehensively on the proteome level. Here we quantified over 11,000 proteins expressed in eight types of tissues over 46 h with an interval of 2 h, using WT and Per1/Per2 double knockout mouse models. The multitissue circadian proteome landscape of WT mice shows tissue-specific patterns and reflects circadian anticipatory phenomena, which are less obvious on the transcript level.

Comparative Evaluation of Proteome Discoverer and FragPipe for the TMT-Based Proteome Quantification.

Isobaric labeling-based proteomics is widely applied in deep proteome quantification. Among the platforms for isobaric labeled proteomic data analysis, the commercial software Proteome Discoverer (PD) is widely used, incorporating the search engine CHIMERYS, while FragPipe (FP) is relatively new, free for noncommercial purposes, and integrates the engine MSFragger. Here, we compared PD and FP over three public proteomic data sets labeled using 6plex, 10plex, and 16plex tandem mass tags.

Optimization of Microflow LC Coupled with Scanning SWATH and Its Application in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Tissues.

Scanning SWATH coupled with normal-flow LC has been recently introduced for high-content, high-throughput proteomics analysis, which requires a relatively large amount of sample injection. Here we established the microflow LC coupled with Scanning SWATH for samples with relatively small quantities. First, we optimized several key parameters of the LC and MS settings, including C18 particle size for the analytical column, LC gradient and flow rate, as well as effective ion accumulation time and isolation window width for MS acquisition.

[Studies on callus growth and phillyrin accumulation of Forsythia suspensa].

Objective: To investigate the effects of physical and chemical factors on callus growth and phillyrin contents of F. suspensa.

Method: The cell growth index and phyllirin yield in different culture condition such as different plant hormones mixed, mediums, light and dark were compared.

[Production and cytogenetics of hybrids of Ogura CMS Brassica campestris var. purpuraria x Raphanus sativus x Brassica napus].

Crosses of Ogura CMS Brassica campestris var. purpuraria x Raphanus sativus x Brassica napus were made and four hybrids were produced. One plant (PRN-1) was mosaic with yellow and milk white flowers and some flowers had both yellow and white petals.
