Proteomics and Proteogenomics Analysis of Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) Leaf and Root

Abstract

Two complementary protein extraction methodologies coupled with an automated proteomic platform were employed to analyze tissue-specific proteomes and characterize biological and metabolic processes in sweetpotato. A total of 74 255 peptides corresponding to 4321 nonredundant proteins were successfully identified. Data were compared to predicted protein accessions for Ipomoea species and mapped on the sweetpotato transcriptome and haplotype-resolved genome. The two methodologies exhibited differences in the number and class of the unique proteins extracted. Overall, 39 916 peptides mapped to 3143 unique proteins in leaves, and 34 339 peptides mapped to 2928 unique proteins in roots. Primary metabolism and protein translation processes were enriched in leaves, whereas genetic pathways associated with protein folding, transport, sorting, as well as pathways in the primary carbohydrate metabolism were enriched in storage roots. A proteogenomics analysis successfully mapped 90.4% of the total uniquely identified peptides against the sweetpotato transcriptome and genome, predicted 741 new protein-coding genes, and specified 2056 loci where gene annotations can be further improved. The proteogenomics results provide evidence for the translation of new open reading frames (ORFs), alternative ORFs, exon extensions, and intronic ORF sequences. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD012999.

Unprecedented organelle genomic variations in morning glories reveal independent evolutionary scenarios of parasitic plants and the diversification of plant mitochondrial complexes

“…Protein mass spectrometry data for sweet potato ( I. batatas ) were downloaded from ProteomeXchange PXD012999 [ 83 ]. A Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) v5.2.0 [ 84 ] comet search was used for peptide identification with default parameters.…”

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Deep-Rooting and Shallow-Rooting Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Genotypes under Drought Stress

“…A number of studies mainly focused on the responses of different potato root phenotypes to drought stress and investigated the stress-resistant physiological and biochemical indices of potato [ 8 , 9 ]. However, there are few investigations about the extent of variation in the drought stress response among genotypes with different root architecture, and wide-ranging systematic molecular approaches have not been fully used for the exploration of drought stress-responsive genes in potato [ 10 , 11 ].…”

TheArabidopsis thalianaPeptideAtlas; harnessing world-wide proteomics data for a comprehensive community proteomics resource

“…The use of proteomics data for plant genome annotation has only very recently begun to make a more systematic impact under the term ‘proteogenomics’ (Castellana et al, 2014; Walley and Briggs, 2015; Chapman and Bellgard, 2017; Zhu et al, 2017; Ren et al, 2019). This has included genomes of Arabidopsis (Zhu et al, 2017; Zhang et al, 2019), rice (Ren et al, 2019; Chen et al, 2020), maize (Castellana et al, 2014), grape (Chapman and Bellgard, 2017) and sweet potato (Al-Mohanna et al, 2019).…”
