Data on proteomic profiling of cells and extracellular vesicles of the melittin-resistant strain.

(class Mollicutes), a major contaminant of cell cultures, quickly adapts to various classes of antimicrobials, including antimicrobial peptides. The extracellular vesicles of this bacterium can play a significant role in the development of drug-resistance Chernov et al., 2018. We compared the cellular and vesicular proteomes of strains with differing susceptibility to melittin (an antimicrobial peptide from bee venom), the genomes of which we have previously sequenced. We extracted soluble proteins from cells and extracellular vesicles of the PG8R strain showing an increased resistance to melittin, and compared them with the cellular proteome and a previously obtained vesicular proteome of the original (reference) PG8B strain Chernov et al., 2014. The cellular proteome profile of the strains differing in susceptibility to melittin was determined by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. Here we present the cellular proteins that were differentially expressed. The vesicular proteome profile was determined by using one-dimensional electrophoresis and chromatography-mass spectrometry. A list of the extracellular vesicles proteins of the melittin-resistant strain is presented here.
