  • Title: Examining the proteome of Drosophila across organism lifespan.
    Author: Sowell RA, Hersberger KE, Kaufman TC, Clemmer DE.
    Journal: J Proteome Res; 2007 Sep; 6(9):3637-47. PubMed ID: 17696518.
    Abstract:
    A survey of the proteome of Drosophila melanogaster at nine time points across the adult lifespan based on several mass-spectrometry-based techniques is presented. In total, there is evidence for 5902 unique peptides corresponding to 1699 different proteins. Of hundreds of relatively abundant components, many appear to be highly dynamic as the adult fly ages. Of those proteins that we observe changing with age, a majority, associated with metabolism, reproduction, and development, are down-regulated. Other biological pathways such as defense response also show variable changes, where some proteins are down-regulated and others are up-regulated. The observed variations are compared with a report of genome-wide changes at the transcriptome level at different ages and the similarities and differences are presented.
