A proteomic analysis of wheat defense response induced by the widely used organophosphorus nematicide fosthiazate is reported. Seed germination and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) experiments were performed using a Chinese wheat cultivar, Zhenmai No. 5. Root and shoot elongation decreased but thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content in embryos increased with increasing...

In order to compare the polypeptide composition of the CML mature granulocytes with that of the normal whole cell lysates, mature granulocytes from four healthy volunteers and six CML patients were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. In the normal subjects, 60 major spots were commonly and reproducibly identified. In the CML, there were constant alterations in some of these major s...

background: dihydropyrimidinase related proteins (drps) have known homologous to the collapsing response mediator proteins (crmps). the drp gene family has comprised four members, drp 1, 2, 3, and 4, all out of which have considered to be involved in axonal outgrowth and path-finding. methods: the protein has extracted from tumor, normal brain tissues, and then the protein purity has evaluated ...

Tall wheatgrass (Elymus elongatum Host) is a drought-tolerant, cool-season forage grass native to Iran. A proteomic approach has been applied to identify mechanisms of drought responsiveness and tolerance in plants undergoing vegetative stage drought stress and then recovery after rewatering. Uniformed clones were reproduced from a parent plant collected from Brojen (central region of Iran). Cl...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the protein spots of excre-tory - secretory products of fasciola hepatica using two dimension electrophoresis method in the presence and absence of triclabendazole drug which can be consid-ered to detect the target protein of the drug. methods: f. hepatica parasites were collected from infected cattle livers, divided in two groups and cultivated...

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the sperm protein profile between oligo- and normozoospermic patients with varicocele. Materials and Methods: Sperm samples of 20 normozoospermic and 20 oligozoospermic patients with varicocele were characterized using two dimensional electrophoresis (group 1 and group 2, respectively). Differences in protein expression were established using gel...

background: glucantime ® is the first- line drug for the treatment of all forms of leishmaniasis. unfortunately, the prevalence of parasites becoming resistant to glucantime ® is increasing in several parts of the world including iran. as protein is the most important target for drugs in response to a variety of signals including drugs so, it seems expression protein patterns in sensitive and r...

A cDNA of pea (Pisum sativum L.) RbcS 3A, encoding a small subunit protein (S) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), has been expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana under control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, and the transcript and mature S protein were detected. Specific antibodies revealed two protein spots for the four Arabidopsis S and one additional spot ...

Two dimensional-fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) is an emerging technique for comparative proteomics, which improves the reproducibility and reliability of differential protein expression analysis between samples. The purpose of this study was to investigate bovine pregnancy-specific proteins in the proteome between bovine pregnant and non-pregnant serum using DIGE techniqu...

OBJECTIVE To identify the relative abundance of proteins in pooled reactive oxygen species (ROS)-positive (ROS+) and ROS-negative (ROS-) semen samples with the use of two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). DESIGN Spermatozoa suspensions from ROS+ and ROS- groups by 2D-DIGE analysis. SETTING Tertiary hospital. PATIENT(S) 20 donors and 32 infertile men. INTERVENTIO...
