In this study we combined pulse chase experiments and 2-DE in order to investigate how newly synthesized proteins are processed or modified to yield a functional yeast proteome. This approach allowed us to follow the fate of 560 native yeast proteins from the time they were synthesized up to several hours later. Among these, 81 were observed to vary during the chase, either increasing or decreasing. In addition, 60 were found to be modified immediately after their synthesis. Taking advantage of protein identifications, we characterized a wide variety of post-translational events responsible for these changes, such as protein turnover, protein maturation and different types of PTMs. These events operate over very different time scales, ranging from the brief period required for co-translational modifications to one generation time or more. In light of these results, the functional proteome of exponentially growing cells appears to be the product of a permanent remodelling process that modifies native proteins far beyond the time they have been synthesized. This study also allowed us to obtain information on the half-lives of 260 abundant yeast proteins.

Bisphenol A, an endocrine-disrupting compound, is widely used in the industrial production of plastic products. Despite increasing concerns about its harmful effects on human health, animals, and the environment, the use of BPA has been banned only in infant products, and its effects on cellular processes are not fully understood. To investigate the impact of BPA on eukaryotic cells, we analyzed the proteome changes of wild-type and -deleted strains exposed to different doses of BPA using sample multiplexing-based proteomics.

The traditional method is considered the highest-quality sparkling wine making technique. Its main characteristic is that the entire sparkling transformation takes place in the bottle, producing complex, refined wines with fine, persistent bubbles. Currently, the second fermentation in the bottle is initiated by a few commercially available strains of .

Copy-number variants (CNVs) are an important class of genetic variation that can mediate rapid adaptive evolution. Whereas CNVs can increase the relative fitness of the organism, they can also incur a cost due to the associated increased gene expression and repetitive DNA. We previously evolved populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae over hundreds of generations in glutamine-limited (Gln-) chemostats and observed the recurrent evolution of CNVs at the GAP1 locus.

The redox state of proteins is essential for their function and guarantees cell fitness. Peroxiredoxins protect cells against oxidative stress, maintain redox homeostasis, act as chaperones, and transmit hydrogen peroxide signals to redox regulators. Despite the profound structural and functional knowledge of peroxiredoxins action, information on how the different functions are concerted is still scarce.

It has been suggested that interactions of the gut microbiota with dietary proteins mediate some of the effects of dietary protein on health outcomes. However, it remains unclear what specific host responses drive the health effects of dietary proteins from different plant and animal sources.
