Abstract
The proteins encoded in a plant have a significant role in its survival and adaptation to external stresses. The cell wall, being the outermost layer, helps in defense against pathogens by production of glycoside hydrolases and proteases that degrade the pathogen external wall. The cell membrane assists in the movement of different molecules into and out of the cell. Different cells communicate with each other with the help of specific signals. Osmotic and salt concentrations are maintained by the embedded ion pumps in the cell membrane. The chloroplast, the only photosynthetic apparatus present in plants, leads to production of energy and also utilizes sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. A number of complex reactions, cycles, and pathways are present in the chloroplast. The mitochondria, also called the powerhouses of the cells, are rich in energy-producing cycles that are required for most of the activities of plants. In the matrix and cristae, a number of enzymes are active continuously. The mitochondrial membrane assists in the survival of the mitochondrion as an independent organelle. The nucleolus, the hub of all the protein-encoding genome, contains many processes. When we begin the analysis of a protein, protein extraction is the first issue. The plant possesses a cell wall that is a critical barrier which should be overcome. Many detergents and other chemicals are applied to break the bonding present in the cell wall, and we then extract our target protein, which is separated using gel electrophoresis. Two-dimensional sodium dodecyl-sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D SDS-PAGE) facilitates the reaction by separating the proteins with respect to isoelectric point as well as molecular weight. Target proteins are visualized and then digested in gel to process it further for identification of the protein. A mass spectrometer is applied for this purpose to characterize each protein on the basis of charge to mass ratio, leading to unambiguous results. Bioinformatics tools are also used for confirmation of our target protein.
