To identify differentially abundant polyketide synthases (PKSs) and to characterize the biochemical consequences of brevetoxin biosynthesis, bottom-up, TMT-based quantitative proteomics and redox proteomics were conducted to compare two strains of the Florida red tide dinoflagellate , which differ significantly in their brevetoxin content. Forty-eight PKS enzymes potentially linked to brevetoxin production were identified, with thirty-eight showing up to 16-fold higher abundance in the high-toxin strain. A pronounced shift toward a more oxidized redox state was observed in this strain's proteome. Notably, 25 antioxidant-related proteins were significantly elevated, including alternative oxidase (AOX), which increased by 17-fold. These results elucidate the cellular consequences of toxin biosynthesis in , offer new leads for the study of brevetoxin biosynthesis, and suggest a novel red tide mitigation approach targeting high toxin-producing strains.
为了鉴定差异丰富的聚酮合酶(PKSs)并表征短裸甲藻毒素生物合成的生化后果,采用自下而上的基于TMT的定量蛋白质组学和氧化还原蛋白质组学方法,比较了两株佛罗里达红潮甲藻,它们的短裸甲藻毒素含量差异显著。鉴定出48种可能与短裸甲藻毒素产生相关的PKS酶,其中38种在高毒素菌株中的丰度高达16倍。在该菌株的蛋白质组中观察到明显向更氧化的氧化还原状态转变。值得注意的是,25种抗氧化相关蛋白显著升高,包括交替氧化酶(AOX),其增加了17倍。这些结果阐明了毒素生物合成在细胞中的后果,为短裸甲藻毒素生物合成的研究提供了新线索,并提出了一种针对高毒素产生菌株的新型赤潮缓解方法。
