Functional proteomics: a promising approach to find novel components of the circadian system.
In the postgenome era, the analysis of entire subproteomes in correlation with their function has emerged due to high throughput technologies. Early approaches have been initiated to identify novel components of the circadian system. For example, in the marine dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedra, a chronobiological proteome assay was performed, which resulted in the identification of already known circadian expressed proteins as well as novel temporal controlled proteins involved in metabolic pathways. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, two circadian expressed proteins (a protein disulfide isomerase and a tetratricopeptide repeat protein) were identified by functional proteomics. Also, the first hints of temporal control within chloroplast proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana were identified by proteome analysis.
