identified 5,198 proteins from chicken bursa 1,753 were B cell specific 1,972 were stroma specific 1,473 (28%) were shared between the two identified 114 transcription factors (TFs) 42 of the bursal B cell TFs have not been reported before in any B cells modeled Programmed Cell Death (PCD), cell differentiation and proliferation, and transcriptional activation confirmed the in vivo expression of 4,006 “predicted”, and 6,623 ab initio, ORFs

Introduction cellular processes in complex eukaryotes do not occur in isolation, but are directed by soluble factors and interactions between cells. understanding the biology of higher eukaryotes requires progressing to whole organ proteomics. used differential detergent fractionation-multidimensional protein identification technology (DDF-MudPIT) to model the bursal proteome.

The Chicken Bursa Proteome extended DDF-MudPIT by isolating 577 membrane proteins, 11.3% of which contain 7–24 transmembrane domains only 28.3% of proteins were common to both B cells and stroma manually assigned GO terms to the previously unannotated chicken proteins that we identified our manual annotations results in an approximately 20% increase number of GO associations for chicken

DDF-MudPIT: capturing the proteome

Nuclear Proteins Nuclear proteins are the key regulators of cell function identified 114 TFs in total only 10 are previously reported in bursal B cells 54 have never been described in hematopoietic tissues in any species Histone proteins and histone modifications regulate TF access to promoters, and thus HMEs regulate transcription indirectly B cell-specific histone variants that we identified are transcriptional repressors not transcriptional activators Couldn’t measure modifications in complex mixture instead quantified HMEs to assess differences in transcriptional activation

identified 114 TFs
