Item Comparative proteomics of dehydration response in the rice nucleus: new insights into the molecular basis of genotype-specific adaptation(John Wiley & Sons, 2013) Jaiswal, Dinesh Kumar; Ray, Doel; Choudhary, Mani Kant; Subba, Pratigya; Kumar, Amit; Verma, Jitendra; Kumar, Rajiv; Datta, Asis; Chakraborty, Subhra; Chakraborty, NiranjanDehydration is the most crucial environmental factor that considerably reduces the crop harvest index, and thus has become a concern for global agriculture. To better understand the role of nuclear proteins in water-deficit condition, a nuclear proteome was developed from a dehydration-sensitive rice cultivar IR-64 followed by its comparison with that of a dehydration-tolerant c.v. Rasi. The 2DE protein profiling of c.v. IR-64 coupled with MS/MS analysis led to the identification of 93 dehydration-responsive proteins (DRPs). Among those identified proteins, 78 were predicted to be destined to the nucleus, accounting for more than 80% of the dataset. While the detected number of protein spots in c.v. IR-64 was higher when compared with that of Rasi, the number of DRPs was found to be less. Fifty-seven percent of the DRPs were found to be common to both sensitive and tolerant cultivars, indicating significant differences between the two nuclear proteomes. Further, we constructed a functional association network of the DRPs of c.v. IR-64, which suggests that a significant number of the proteins are capable of interacting with each other. The combination of nuclear proteome and interactome analyses would elucidate stress-responsive signaling and the molecular basis of dehydration tolerance in plants.
