An analysis of myc-specific protein (p58myc), precipitated from cells transformed by virus OK10, by means of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of two variants of p58myc differing in their isoelectric point. Both variants are completely cleaved by protease p15 as is the c-myc gene product precipitated from 16Q cells. The cleavage fragments of c-myc and v-myc protein do not differ in size but differ in their stability.

The pathophysiology of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), previously known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), and its specific biological features remain poorly understood. High-throughput plasma proteomic profiling, a powerful tool for gaining insights into disease pathophysiology at the systems biology level, has not been used to study ACM. This study aimed at characterizing plasmatic protein changes in patients with ACM, which were compared with those of healthy controls, and at exploring the potential role of the identified proteins as biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring.

Introduction: Recent work identified members of the evolutionarily conserved coronin protein family as key regulators of cell population size. This work originated ~25 years ago through the identification, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, of coronin 1 as a host protein involved in the virulence of . We here describe the journey from a spot on a 2D gel to the recent realization that coronin proteins represent key controllers of eukaryotic cell population sizes, using ever more sophisticated proteomic techniques.

A comprehensive strategy, including spectroscopic, molecular simulation, proteomics, and bioinformatics techniques, was employed to investigate a novel triazole, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole, its interactions with high-abundance blood proteins, and identification of low-abundance proteins. The binding constants and thermodynamic parameters of the triazole to two high-abundance blood globular proteins, human serum albumin, and human immunoglobulin G (HIgG), were obtained by spectroscopic techniques and computational chemistry. The two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was employed to isolate and identify differentially expressed low-abundance proteins in human blood serum samples following exposure to the triazole.

Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is an invasive agricultural pest with developed resistance to abamectin in some strains due to frequent treatment with the pesticide. In this study, we examined differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between abamectin-resistant (Aba; under abamectin selective pressure) and susceptible strains (Aba; without abamectin selective pressure) of F. occidentalis.

Background And Aims: Recently, demands towards identifying various molecules in support of stress detection and potential clinical utilization are dramatically increasing. Moreover, the accuracy with which researchers quantify these informative molecules is now far more improved when compared to the past. As RNA or protein markers are conventionally detected via repeated invasive procedures from blood, it is critical to develop secure technologies to obtain the desired information via less stressful methodologies, such as saliva collection.
