Analysis of complex protein-polypeptide systems for proteomic studies.

Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE), followed by protein extraction and characterization with chemical sequencing or mass spectrometry (MS), is the most commonly used method to analyze complex protein systems such as cells and organelles. However, it is claimed that 2-D PAGE is a slow and labor-intensive technique and also needs subsequent efforts for one-by-one identification of proteins. Recently, the combined methods of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry, with preceding separation techniques such as capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) or liquid chromatography, have been demonstrated as high-throughput techniques suitable for proteomic analysis of protein systems. The studies which employ FTICR MS, aimed at the analysis of complex protein systems, have been reviewed, comparing their performance with that of 2-D PAGE. Also, the possibilities of combining 2-D PAGE and the FTICR MS method to analyze and reconstruct the structures and functions of complex systems are discussed.

Analysis of state-specific phosphorylation of proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis approach.

In this paper we focus on the detection of specific state of protein phosphorylation within a complex protein mixture separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting. The availability of antibodies that specifically recognize the phosphorylated residue(s) of proteins make this approach feasible as exemplified by the study of the regulatory mechanisms of the cell cycle. The major advantage of the presented approach is its relative simplicity and sensitivity that allows specific detection of protein phosphorylation and distinguishes different phosphorylation sites of target protein. Current findings demonstrate that this method represents a reasonable alternative to the use of other tools to study protein phosphorylation.

pK values of histidine residues in ribonuclease Sa: effect of salt and net charge.

The primary goal of this study was to gain a better understanding of the effect of environment and ionic strength on the pK values of histidine residues in proteins. The salt-dependence of pK values for two histidine residues in ribonuclease Sa (RNase Sa) (pI=3.5) and a variant in which five acidic amino acids have been changed to lysine (5K) (pI=10.2) was measured and compared to pK values of model histidine-containing peptides. The pK of His53 is elevated by two pH units (pK=8.61) in RNase Sa and by nearly one pH unit (pK=7.39) in 5K at low salt relative to the pK of histidine in the model peptides (pK=6.6). The pK for His53 remains elevated in 1.5M NaCl (pK=7.89). The elevated pK for His53 is a result of screenable electrostatic interactions, particularly with Glu74, and a non-screenable hydrogen bond interaction with water. The pK of His85 in RNase Sa and 5K is slightly below the model pK at low salt and merges with this value at 1.5M NaCl. The pK of His85 reflects mainly effects of long-range Coulombic interactions that are screenable by salt. The tautomeric states of the neutral histidine residues are changed by charge reversal. The histidine pK values in RNase Sa are always higher than the pK values in the 5K variant. These results emphasize that the net charge of the protein influences the pK values of the histidine residues. Structure-based pK calculations capture the salt-dependence relatively well but are unable to predict absolute histidine pK values.
