Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In conclusion, the QconCAT standard peptides are very useful in experiments where a defined set of target proteins is to be analyzed, as for example in this study the focus was specifically on vacuolar (sugar) transporters. The use of these spiked-in standards clearly does exceed the range of quantitation to include more low-abundant proteins compared to a simple label-free experiment. We showed that salinity stress results in large changes in vacuolar transporter abundances, particularly for vacuolar ATPases AVP1, members of the ERDL-transporter family as well as TMT2. Since salinity is known to increase the sugar content in vacuoles, we suggest that this increase in vacuolar sugar content is achieved by an increase in transporter presence in the tonoplast. For mutants in AP-3, particularly proteins with transport functions, such as aquaporins and plasma membrane ATPase showed differential protein distribution profiles across the density gradient. For mutants in AP-4 also plasma membrane ATPases and proteins from lipid metabolism were differentially distributed. Other proteins, such as particularly receptor kinases were depleted from the AP-3 mutant membrane system, possibly due to degradation after mis-targeting. In AP-4 mutants, membrane preparations were depleted for cytochrome P450 proteins, cell wall proteins and receptor kinases.
