摘要

While the genome contains the coded information that allows an organism to live and reproduce, the essential functions of living cells are accomplished by gene products. Those structures―mainly proteins, although ribonucleic acids are also essential―provide the scaffold, regulatory, and catalytic functions that drive metabolism. Proteomics seeks to measure the expression of all proteins within an organism and monitor changes in response to developmental and environmental cues in health and disease. Because the 30,000 or so human genes sustain life through a considerably larger variety of mature proteins, the technological challenge dramatically exceeds that of genomics. Ultimately, we would like a computer model that mimics life in silico, allowing accurate projections for metabolic engineering experiments in medicine and the life sciences. This grand experiment is just starting and the race is on to develop high-throughput technology to provide proteome-scale insights, as well as computational systems that allow realistic modeling of simple cells. Yates and cowork-ers present the results of recent attempts to map the rice proteome and compare metabolism in three different functional states of the organism―that is, leaf, root, and seed. Although central metabolic pathways were present in all tissues, metabolic specialization was detected, confirming the existence of divergent regulatory mechanisms in starch biosynthesis and degradation in different tissues, as well as the presence of allergenic proteins in seed.
