Analysis of Protein Changes at Egg Activation

Adapted from: Xiang Y et al., PLos Biol, 2007

• Quantitative proteomic analysis of proteins that increase or decrease at activation

•Polysome profiling-identify all mRNAs recruited or released from polysomes

Iva Kronja Poster 174C

3500 proteins scored in replicates 132 proteins upregulated at egg activation 230 proteins downregulated at egg activation (Zach Whitfield- Talk #10 today)

Proteomics Results

Mature Oocyte (stage 14) Activated Egg

Downregulated Proteins-mRNAs move off polysomes

Polysome Profiling Results- 5300 mRNAs analyzed

Upregulated Proteins-mRNAs move from monosome to polysomes

PNG serves to activate translation generally at the developmental transition from oocyte to embryo

• Pursue biological problems in unbiased way.

• Generosity of the community in providing resources. • Application of varied approaches including high throughput. • Drosophila is an amazing model organism with many more exciting problems to solve.
