Photoperiodic effect on protein profiles of potato petiole Shweta Shah1, Young Jin-Lee2, David J. Hannapel3 and A.

Short-day (SD) conditions induce tuberization and long-day (LD) inhibits the process. The transcriptional source of this mobile RNA is leaf veins and leaf stalks designated, petioles. Transport of StBEL5 RNA is induced by a SD photoperiod that leads to tuber formation. It is likely that the movement of StBEL5 is facilitated by the formation of RNA-protein complex(s). To further understand this proposed mechanism of downstream signaling we have undertaken a detailed proteomic analysis of proteins isolated from potato petioles (PP) grown under LD and SD photoperiod conditions using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by MALDI MS/MS and/or LC MS/MS. Proteins that were differentially expressed in response to changes in photoperiods were analyzed by Progenesis SameSpots software. Phosphoproteins and RNA-binding proteins were enriched using immobilized metal affinity chromatography and poly(U) Sepharose columns respectively from SD and LD PP protein extracts and similarly analyzed. In addition to establishing a catalog of PP proteins, we have so far identified nearly sixty-seven proteins that are differentially expressed in response to SD or LD photoperiods. Significantly, the RNA-binding protein, elF-5A, has been detected in multiple isoforms specifically under LD conditions. Numerous other poly(U)-binding proteins which contain RNA recognition motifs have also been isolated and identified. This is the first comprehensive proteomics study that examines and catalogs the proteins that are present in the potato petiole and are potentially differentially regulated by photoperiod. ! !
