    Aims: Vibrio tapetis is the etiological agent of brown ring disease (BRD) in clams, one of the most threatening diseases affecting this commercially important bivalve. In this study we have constructed a proteome reference map of the V. tapetis type strain CECT 4600T. Methods and Results: Eighty-two proteins, consistently present in all 2D-gels, were identified by mass spectrometry or by de novo sequencing. The majority of the proteins identified (66%) belonged to four COG categories: 'Carbohydrate transport and metabolism', 'Post-translational modification, protein turnover and chaperones', 'Energy production', and 'Amino acid transport and metabolism'. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, enolase, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, phosphoglycerate kinase. molecular chaperones Dnak and GroEL, alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase B and factor Tu, were identified among the 20 most abundant proteins. A comparison of this reference map with that obtained for the V. tapetis strain GR0202RD, with different origin and pathophysiological characteristics, was performed. Conclusions: Under the culture conditions employed in this study, glucose degradation is one of the major pathways for energy production in Vibrio tapetis. In addition, the two strains studied, although with remarkable differences at genetic and pathophysiological levels, showed a high similarity under laboratory conditions. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results obtained here can be considered as a first step to gather valuable information on protein expression, related not only to diverse cellular functions and regulation but also to pathogenesis and bacterium-host interactions in the disease process

    The fact that gastric surgery is at the moment the most effective treatment to fight against obesity highlights the relevance of gastric derived proteins as potential targets to treat this pathology. Taking advantage of a previously established gastric explant model for endocrine studies, the proteomic analysis of gastric secretome was performed. To validate this gastric explant system for proteomic analysis, the identification of ghrelin, a classical gastric derived peptide, was performed by MS. In addition, the differential analysis of gastric secretomes under differential nutritional status (control feeding vs fasting vs re-feeding) was performed. The MS identified proteins are showed in the present manuscript. The data supplied in this article is related to the research article entitled "Comparative secretome analysis of rat stomach under different nutritional status" (L.L. Senin, A. Roca-Rivada, C. Castelao, J. Alonso, C. Folgueira, F.F. Casanueva, M. Pardo, L.M. Seoane Comparative secretome analysis of rat stomach under different nutritional status J. Proteomics (2015))

    Proteomic Studies Reveal Disrupted in Schizophrenia 1 as a Player in Both Neurodevelopment and Synaptic Function

    A balanced chromosomal translocation disrupting DISC1 (Disrupted in Schizophrenia 1) gene has been linked to psychiatric diseases, such as major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Since the discovery of this translocation, many studies have focused on understating the role of the truncated isoform of DISC1, hypothesizing that the gain of function of this protein could be behind the neurobiology of mental conditions, but not so many studies have focused in the mechanisms impaired due to its loss of function. For that reason, we performed an analysis on the cellular proteome of primary neurons in which DISC1 was knocked down with the goal of identifying relevant pathways directly affected by DISC1 loss of function. Using an unbiased proteomic approach, we found that the expression of 31 proteins related to neurodevelopment (e.g., CRMP-2, stathmin) and synaptic function (e.g., MUNC-18, NCS-1) is altered by DISC1 in primary mouse neurons. Hence, this study reinforces the idea that DISC1 is a unifying regulator of both neurodevelopment and synaptic function, thereby providing a link between these two key anatomical and cellular circuitries.This research was funded by ERANET-NEURON, grant DISCover (National funding institution grants: ISCIII PI09/2688 and BMBF 01EW1003, respectively, to J.R.R. and C.K.), and grants from the DFG (Ko1679/3-1), NARSAD 2013 Independent Investigator Award #20350 and EU-FP MC-ITN "IN-SENS" #607616) (C.K.); The Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (SAF2011-30494 and BFU2017-86692-P, partially funded by European Union regional funds (FRDER)); the Departments of Industry, Tourism and Trade (Etortek) and Innovation Technology of the Government of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (R.M.K. and I.G-E.); and the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (SAF2013-45014-R, A.G., SAF2011-30494 (R.M.K. and I.G-E.))S
