Methanococcoides Methylutens Proteomics Data for Methanogenesis Pathways

A proteomic analysis dataset from Methanococcoides methylutens strain Q3c, authored by Jyoti Kashyap and published on figshare in March 2026. The data likely contains protein expression profiles comparing growth on quaternary amines tetramethylammonium and choline versus trimethylamine.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed proteins based on proteomic analysis of cells grown on different substrates.
• Validate the function of nonpyrrolysine methyltransferase homologs like MtqB.
• Study the phylogeny and clustering of methyltransferase proteins MtqB and MtqC.
• Analyze pathways for methanogenesis from quaternary amines like tetramethylammonium and choline.

Strengths

• Proteomic data includes specific protein identity percentages (82.8% and 96.4% N-termini identity).
• Dataset is validated via enzymatic assay and molecular co-docking experiments.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is contained in a PDF file (472.6 KB), which may require extraction for computational analysis.
