Proteomic tools for cell biology

Acquisition of large bodies of genomic sequence is facilitating the use of global techniques to assay cellular function. DNA microarrays have enabled the measurement of global mRNA levels and are able to detect changes in gene expression between different cellular states. Since much of the regulation of physiolgical processes happens post-translationally, measuring only the mRNA levels gives an incomplete picture. Strategies to assay global expression, localization, or interaction of proteins fall into the emerging field of proteomics, with various combinations of techniques being utilized to separate and identify proteins. In this review, we will present a general overview of the currently available proteomic tools and then give examples of how these tools are being utilized to answer questions in cell biology.     

One-dimensional proteomic mapping of human liver cytochromes P450

A method for constructing one-dimensional proteomic maps (1D-PM) based on mass spectrometric identification of proteins from adjacent slices of one-dimensional electrophoregram has been developed. For the proteomic mapping, gel lanes were sectioned into slices less than 0.2 mm thick and each slice was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis. The resultant mixture of peptide fragments was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Proteins were identified by the mass spectra obtained. Data on peptide fragments and corresponding identified proteins were presented as a 1D-PM. Proteomic maps were constructed by assigning individual proteins to gel slices based on number of matching peptides in a corresponding MS-data. On 1D-PM of human liver microsomal fraction, 18 proteins were identified in the region of 40–65 kDa. These included 12 membrane proteins belonging to the superfamily of cytochromes P450. Pooling of mass spectrometric data, obtained from several adjacent gel slices (molecular zooming) increased sequence coverage of CYP2A (cytochrome P450 family 2A). The maximal coverage of 66% significantly exceeded the level of 48% that could be obtained using one (even the most informative) slice. This method can be applied to the proteomic profiling of membrane-bound proteins.     

Mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches to study pathogenic bacteria-host interactions

Elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying hostpathogen interactions is important for control and treatment of infectious diseases worldwide. Within the last decade, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become a powerful and effective approach to better understand complex and dynamic host-pathogen interactions at the protein level. Herein we will review the recent progress in proteomic analyses towards bacterial infection of their mammalian host with a particular focus on enteric pathogens. Large-scale studies of dynamic proteomic alterations during infection will be discussed from the perspective of both pathogenic bacteria and host cells.     

Comparative proteomic study of acute pulmonary embolism in a rat model

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common, potentially fatal disease, whose blood clots originate from the deep venous system of the lower extremities. PE is of clinical importance because of the considerable mortality and morbidity. In this study, at first we established a rat PE model by injecting 3-4 emboli into the left jugular vein. Before collecting the lung tissues, we perfused them with saline through the right jugular vein and at the same time cut off the right carotid to remove the blood. Then we separated and identified differentially expressed proteins in lung tissues at different time points using the techniques of 2-DE and MS. After image analysis of 2-DE gels, 46 protein spots of interest were excised from the gels and identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Thirty-two protein spots of them found their corresponding protein candidates in the database. These proteins are associated with distinct aspects of PE such as the contractive function of smooth muscles, metabolism of energy, collagen and toxicant, cellular differentiation, apoptosis and injury, blood pressure adjustment, maintaining of acid-base balance, and so on. Ten of the identified proteins were validated by semiquantitative RT-PCR, and three of them were further validated by Western blot analysis. The differential expression patterns of these proteins suggest the distinct roles they may play in different stages of the rat PE model, and information from this study may be helpful to uncover the pathophysiologic molecular mechanisms involved in PE.     

Characterization of mature rat oligodendrocytes: a proteomic approach

Oligodendrocytes are glial cells responsible for the synthesis and maintenance of myelin in the central nervous system (CNS). Oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to damage occurring in a variety of neurological diseases. Understanding oligodendrocyte biology is crucial for the dissemination of de- and remyelination mechanisms. The goal of the present study is the construction of a protein database of mature rat oligodendrocytes. Post-mitotic oligodendrocytes were isolated from mature Wistar rats and subjected to immunocytochemistry. Proteins were extracted and analyzed by means of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional liquid chromatography, both coupled to mass spectrometry. The combination of the gel-based and gel-free approach resulted in confident identification of a total of 200 proteins. A minority of proteins were identified in both proteomic strategies. The identified proteins represent a variety of functional groups, including novel oligodendrocyte proteins. The results of this study emphasize the power of the applied proteomic strategy to study known or to reveal new proteins and to investigate their regulation in oligodendrocytes in different disease models.

Toward a high resolution 2-DE profile of the normal human liver proteome using ultra-zoom gels

The human liver is the largest organ in the body and has many important physiological functions. A global analysis of human liver proteins is essential for a better understanding of the molecular basis of the normal functions of the liver and of its diseases. As part of the Human Liver Proteome Project (HLPP), the goal of the present study was to visualize and detect as many proteins as possible in normal human livers using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). We have constructed a reference map of the proteins of human normal liver that can be used for the comprehensive analysis of the human liver proteome and other related research. To improve the resolution and enhance the detection of low abundance proteins, we developed and optimized narrow pH range ultra-zoom 2-DE gels. High resolution patterns of human liver in pH gradients 4.5–5.5, 5–6, 5.5–6.7, 6–9 and 6–11 are presented. To improve the poor resolution in the alkaline pH range of 2-DE gels, we optimized the isoelectric focusing protocol by including sample application using cup loading at the anode and incorporating 1.2% hydroxyethyl disulfide, 15% 2-propanol and 5% glycerol in the rehydration buffer. Using the optimized protocol, we obtained reproducibly better resolution in both analytical and preparative 2-DE gels. Compared with the 2386 and 1878 protein spots resolved in the wide range 3–10 and 4–7 pH gradients respectively, we obtained 5481 protein spots from the multiple (overlapping) narrow pH range ultra-zoom gels in the range of pH 4.5–9. The visualized reference map of normal human liver proteins presented in this paper will be valuable for comparative proteomic research of the liver proteome.     

A proteomic study of the arabidopsis nuclear matrix

The eukaryotic nucleus has been proposed to be organized by two interdependent nucleoprotein structures, the DNA-based chromatin and the RNA-dependent nuclear matrix. The functional composition and molecular organization of the second component have not yet been resolved. Here, we describe the isolation of the nuclear matrix from the model plant Arabidopsis, its initial characterization by confocal and electron microscopy, and the identification of 36 proteins by mass spectrometry. Electron microscopy of resinless samples confirmed a structure very similar to that described for the animal nuclear matrix. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis resolved approximately 300 protein spots. Proteins were identified in batches by ESI tandem mass spectrometry after resolution by 1D SDS-PAGE. Among the identified proteins were a number of demonstrated or predicted Arabidopsis homologs of nucleolar proteins such as IMP4, Nop56, Nop58, fibrillarins, nucleolin, as well as ribosomal components and a putative histone deacetylase. Others included homologs of eEF-1, HSP/HSC70, and DnaJ, which have also been identified in the nucleolus or nuclear matrix of human cells, as well as a number of novel proteins with unknown function. This study is the first proteomic approach towards the characterization of a higher plant nuclear matrix. It demonstrates the striking similarities both in structure and protein composition of the operationally defined nuclear matrix across kingdoms whose unicellular ancestors have separated more than one billion years ago.
