Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Quantitative proteomics is a rapidly developing field that is providing new insights into the structure, function, and regulation of proteins. This Special Issue of Proteomes will focus on the latest techniques and applications in quantitative proteomics.

The most common techniques used in quantitative proteomics include isobaric tagging, targeted proteomics, and label-free methods. Isobaric tagging methods use stable isotopes to label proteins or peptides, which allows for the simultaneous measurement of multiple samples in a single experiment. Targeted proteomics methods focus on the quantification of specific proteins or peptides, while label-free methods do not require the use of any labels.

Quantitative proteomics has a wide range of applications, including studying protein expression changes in response to different conditions, identifying protein-protein interactions, characterizing protein post-translational modifications, and determining the structure of proteins.

This Special Issue of Proteomes is soliciting original research articles, review articles, and mini-reviews on all aspects of quantitative proteomics. We encourage submissions that describe new techniques, applications, or data analysis methods.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Proteomes is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Cannabis has been used historically for both medicinal and recreational purposes, with the most notable cannabinoids being cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Although their therapeutic effects have been well studied and their recreational use is highly debated, the underlying mechanisms of their biological effects remain poorly defined. In this study, we use isobaric tag-based sample multiplexed proteome profiling to investigate protein abundance differences in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line treated with CBD and THC. We identified significantly regulated proteins by each treatment and performed a pathway classification and associated protein–protein interaction analysis. Our findings suggest that these treatments may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and induce endoplasmic reticulum stress. These data can potentially be interrogated further to investigate the potential role of CBD and THC in various biological and disease contexts, providing a foundation for future studies. Full article

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a powerful model system that is often used to expand our understanding of cellular processes and biological functions. Although many genetically well-characterized laboratory strains of S. cerevisiae are available, they may have different genetic backgrounds which can confound data interpretation. Here, we report a comparative whole-proteome analysis of two common laboratory yeast background strains, W303 and BY4742, in both exponential and stationary growth phases using isobaric-tag-based mass spectrometry to highlight differences in proteome complexity. We quantified over 4400 proteins, hundreds of which showed differences in abundance between strains and/or growth phases. Moreover, we used proteome-wide protein abundance to profile the mating type of the strains used in the experiment, the auxotrophic markers, and associated metabolic pathways, as well as to investigate differences in particular classes of proteins, such as the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) proteins. This study is a valuable resource that offers insight into mechanistic differences between two common yeast background strains and can be used as a guide to select a background that is best suited for addressing a particular biological question.
