Figure 5. The proteome of the ER under conditions of prolonged proteotoxic stress.

Figure 5

ER-derived vesicles were isolated by MemPrep and subsequently analyzed by untargeted proteomics. An additional sodium carbonate wash step was performed on P100 to remove soluble proteins from the membrane preparation. (A) Limma analysis identified proteins that are accumulating in ER preparations after prolonged DTT-induced stress (top right quadrant of volcano plot). Proteins that are discussed in the text are indicated. The enrichment of proteins in preparations of the stressed ER membrane was considered significantly when they were at least twofold enriched compared to their abundance in pre-stress conditions with a P value < 0.01 (n = 3 biological replicates). (B) Limma analysis showing proteins that are accumulating in the ER upon prolonged TM-induced ER stress (top right quadrant of volcano plot). All proteins discussed in the text are labeled. The enrichment of proteins in the preparations of the stressed ER was considered significant when they were enriched at least twofold compared to their abundance in pre-stress conditions with a P value < 0.01 (n = 3 biological replicates). (C) Enriched gene ontology terms (GO terms) in the list of enriched proteins. GO terms are grouped by categories, FDR < 1% (n = 3 biological replicates). Data information: Data in (A, B) are presented as the mean from three biological replicates. We used the moderated t-test limma to test for differential enrichment. P values were corrected for multiple testing with the method from Benjamini and Hochberg. Data in (C) presented as mean from three biological replicates. P values were derived from a Fisher-test and corrected for multiple testing with the method of Benjamini and Hochberg. Source data are available online for this figure.
