Fig. 4. Persulfidomes of heart and plasma respond differently to diet compared to those of liver, kidney, muscle, and brain.

Fig. 4

a, b Volcano plots showing differentially abundant persulfidated proteins in heart (a) and plasma (b) from AL (n = 4 mice/group) versus DR (n = 5 mice/group) cystathionine γ-lyase (CGL) wildtype (WT) mice. The log2(Fold Change DR:AL) X-axis displays the average fold change in spectral counts for each identified persulfidated protein while the −log10 Y-axis displays the calculated P value when comparing the individual spectral count values for each identified persulfidated protein in a specific tissue from AL versus DR fed mice with P values obtained from two-sided Student’s t test. The number of total persulfidated proteins identified in each tissue are given next to the tissue name, while blue (AL enriched) and green (DR enriched) colored dots and text indicate persulfidated proteins reaching both biological- and statistical-thresholds. Gray color dots indicate persulfidated proteins not reaching the criteria for both biological and statistical significance for enrichment under either diet. The percentage and direction of proteins skewed toward AL is provided above the tissue label. c Venn diagram of shared and non-shared persulfidated proteins in heart and plasma. d KEGG biological pathway enrichment of the shared 78 proteins found in heart and plasma via g:Profiler analysis. e Overlap of AL enriched persulfidated proteins in heart and plasma. f KEGG biological function and pathway enrichment of AL enriched (blue bars) or DR enriched (green bars) persulfidated proteins in heart. g Venn diagram of shared and unshared persulfidated proteins amongst all 6 tissues. h KEGG biological function and pathway enrichment of the shared 28 proteins found in all six tissues via g:Profiler analysis. The numbers in the bars indicate individual persulfidated proteins identified for that specific pathway. Statistical significance for pathway enrichment plotted as the adjusted −log10 (P value) and was auto-calculated via the g:Profiler g:SCS algorithm for KEGG database that utilizes multiple testing corrections.
