Protein redox regulation is increasingly recognized as an important switch of protein activity in yeast, bacteria, mammals and plants. In this study, we identified proteins with potential thiol switches involved in jasmonate signaling, which is essential for plant defense. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment led to enhanced production of hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis leaves and roots, indicating in vivo oxidative stress. With monobromobimane (mBBr) labeling to capture oxidized sulfhydryl groups and 2D gel separation, a total of 35 protein spots that displayed significant redox and/or total protein expression changes were isolated. Using LC-MS/MS, the proteins in the spots were identified. By comparative analysis of mBBr and SyproRuby gel images, we were able to differentiate proteins that were redox responsive from proteins that displayed abundance changes in response to MeJA. Identification of redox proteins and their cysteine residues involved in the redox regulation allows for a deeper understanding of the jasmonate signaling networks.
Please select one or both:
- I will bring a poster
- I would like to be considered for a short-talk (20 min)
Poster Presentation
Attendees are invited to participate in the Symposium’s poster session.
All symposium participants are encouraged to submit abstracts. Those planning to participate in the poster session must indicate so at the bottom of their abstract so that we can reserve poster boards. Available poster board size is 48″ wide by 48″ high.
During the poster session, presenters should be at their poster to explain their work and answer questions.
