, , , and are all triatomines and potential vectors of the protozoan responsible for human Chagas' disease. Considering that the 's cycle occurs inside the triatomine digestive tract (TDT), the analysis of the TDT protein profile is an essential step to understand TDT physiology during infection. To characterize the protein profile of TDT of , , , and , a shotgun liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approach was applied in this report. Most proteins were found to be closely related to metabolic pathways such as gluconeogenesis/glycolysis, citrate cycle, fatty acid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, but also to the immune system. We annotated this new proteome contribution gathering it with those previously published in accordance with Gene Ontology and KEGG. Enzymes were classified in terms of class, acceptor, and function, while the proteins from the immune system were annotated by reference to the pathways of humoral response, cell cycle regulation, Toll, IMD, JNK, Jak-STAT, and MAPK, as available from the Insect Innate Immunity Database (IIID). These pathways were further subclassified in recognition, signaling, response, coagulation, melanization and none. Finally, phylogenetic affinities and gene expression of annexins were investigated for understanding their role in the protection and homeostasis of intestinal epithelial cells against the inflammation.
、、和均为锥蝽,是导致人类恰加斯病的原生动物的潜在传播媒介。鉴于该原生动物的生命周期发生在锥蝽消化道(TDT)内,分析TDT蛋白质谱是了解感染期间TDT生理学的关键步骤。为了表征、、和的TDT蛋白质谱,本报告采用了鸟枪法液相色谱 - 串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)方法。发现大多数蛋白质与糖异生/糖酵解、柠檬酸循环、脂肪酸代谢、氧化磷酸化等代谢途径密切相关,也与免疫系统相关。我们根据基因本体论(Gene Ontology)和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG),将这一新的蛋白质组贡献与先前发表的内容进行整合注释。酶根据类别、受体和功能进行分类,而免疫系统的蛋白质则参考昆虫先天免疫数据库(IIID)中可用的体液反应、细胞周期调控、Toll、IMD、JNK、Jak-STAT和MAPK途径进行注释。这些途径进一步细分为识别、信号传导、反应、凝血、黑化和无。最后,研究了膜联蛋白的系统发育亲和力和基因表达,以了解它们在保护肠道上皮细胞免受炎症侵害和维持内环境稳定中的作用。
