[Different proteins in mitochondrial proteome of T-type maize cytoplasmic male-sterile line and its maintainer line].

Using T-type maize cytoplasmic male sterile line (T-CMS) and maintainer line as experimental materials, we separated mitochondrial proteins from leaves at seedling, shooting, booting stages, mesocotyl, root and anther at meiosis of pollen mother cell, single-double nucleus stage of pollen grain by two-dimensional electrophoresis with immobilized pH3-10 gradients. About 150 mitochondrial protein spots in seedling leaves, 150 spots in mesocotyls, 150 spots in roots and 100 spots in meiosis anther were observed respectively in this investigation. 6 difference protein spots were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis and NCBI database searching. r40c1 protein was present in mesocotyl of T-CMS and absent in maintainer line. Mature anther-specific protein, DNA-directed RNA polymerase 23kDa subunit, hexokinase II were present and glutathione S-transferase, putative polyprotein were absent in pollen aborted anther of T-CMS. Developmental changes in mitochondrial proteins were found in leaves but no differences were observed in T-CMS and its maintainer line. Obvious differences of mitochondrial proteins were found at single-double nucleus stage anther in T-CMS and maintainer line. These different proteins were considered to be associated to pollen aborted in T-CMS.
