Proteomic analysis of muscle between hybrid abalone and parental lines Haliotis gigantea Reeve and Haliotis discus hannai Ino

摘要

To understand the potential molecular mechanism of heterosis, protein expression patterns were compared from hybrids of Haliotis gigantea (G) and Haliotis discus hannai (D) using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight analyses. Expression differences were observed in muscle samples from the four groups with 673 +/- 21.0 stained spots for H. discus hannai female x H. discus hannai male (DD), 692 +/- 25.6 for H. gigantea female x H. gigantea male (GG), 679 +/- 16.2 for H. discus hannai female x H. gigantea male (DG) (F-1 hybrid) and 700 +/- 19 for H. gigantea female x H. discus hannai male (GD) (F-1 hybrid). Different 2-DE image muscle protein spots had a mirrored relationship between purebreds and the F-1 hybrid, suggesting that all stained spots in F-1 hybrid muscle were on 2-DEs from parents. DD and DG clustered together first, and then clustered with GD, whereas the distance of DD and GG was maximal according to hierarchical cluster analysis. We identified 136 differentially expressed protein spots involved in major biological processes, including energy metabolism and stress response. Most energy metabolism proteins were additive, and stress-induced proteins displayed additivity or over-dominance. In these 136 identified protein spots, hybrid offspring with additivity or over-dominance accounted for 68.38%. Data show that a proteomic approach can provide functional prediction of abalone interspecific hybridization.
