Subcellular fractionation is being widely used to increase our understanding of the proteome. Fractionation is often coupled with 2-DE, thus allowing the visualisation of proteins and their subsequent identification and characterisation by MS. Whilst this strategy should be effective, to date, there has been little or no consideration given to differences in the mass, pI, hydropathy or abundance of proteins in the organelles and how analytical strategies can be tailored to match the idiosyncrasies of proteins in each particular compartment. To address this, we analysed 3962 Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins, previously localised to one or more of 22 subcellular compartments. Different compartments showed significantly different distributions of protein pI and hydropathy. Mitochondrial and ER proteins showed the most dramatic differences to other organelles, in their protein pIs and hydropathy, respectively. We show that organelles can be clustered by similarities in these physicochemical protein characteristics. Interestingly, the distribution of protein abundance was also significantly different between many organelles. Our results show that to fully explore subcellular fractions of the proteome, specific analytical strategies should be employed. We outline strategies for all 22 subcellular compartments. 相似文献

Global organellar proteomics 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
Cataloging the proteomes of single-celled microorganisms, cells, biological fluids, tissue and whole organisms is being undertaken at a rapid pace as advances are made in protein and peptide separation, detection and identification. For metazoans, subcellular organelles represent attractive targets for global proteome analysis because they represent discrete functional units, their complexity in protein composition is reduced relative to whole cells and, when abundant cytoskeletal proteins are removed, lower abundance proteins specific to the organelle are revealed. Here, we review recent literature on the global analysis of subcellular organelles and briefly discuss how that information is being used to elucidate basic biological processes that range from cellular signaling pathways through protein-protein interactions to differential expression of proteins in response to external stimuli. We assess the relative merits of the different methods used and discuss issues and future directions in the field. 相似文献

Developments in subcellular fractionation strategies have provided the means to profile and analyze the protein composition of organelles and cellular structures by proteomics. Here, we review the application of classical (e.g. density gradient centrifugation) and emerging sophisticated techniques (fluorescent-assisted organelle sorting) in the fractionation, and statistical/bioinformatics tools for the prediction of protein localization in subcellular proteomics. We also review the validation methods currently used (such as microscopy, RNA interference and multiple reaction monitoring) and discuss the importance of verification of the results obtained in subcellular proteomics. Finally, the numerous challenges facing subcellular proteomics including the dynamics of organelles are being examined. However, complementary approaches such as modern statistics, bioinformatics and large-scale integrative analysis are beginning to emerge as powerful tools to proteomics for analyzing subcellular organelles and structures. 相似文献

Peptide fractionation is extremely important in proteomics approaches. Full proteome characterization is desired from complex organisms, and with growing interest in post-translational modifications an extended protein sequence coverage is required. Peptide fractionation techniques have the great challenge of feeding current mass spectrometers in a way in which these issues are met. Peptide fractionation can be divided into three simple components: the column characteristics; the mobile phase; and peptide properties (charge, polarity, hydrophobicity and size). The current challenges are in the combination of these three components to allow comprehensive proteomics studies to be improved. 相似文献

Background
The key to understanding the full significance of oxidants in health and disease is the development of tools and methods that allow the study of proteins that sense and transduce changes in cellular redox. Oxidant-reactive deprotonated thiols commonly operate as redox sensors in proteins and a variety of methods have been developed that allow us to monitor their oxidative modification.Scope of the review
This outline review specifically focuses on gel-based methods used to detect, quantify and identify protein thiol oxidative modifications. The techniques we discuss fall into one of two broad categories. Firstly, methods that allow oxidation of thiols in specific proteins or the global cellular pool to be monitored are discussed. These typically utilise thiol-labelling reagents that add a reporter moiety (e.g. affinity tag, fluorophore, chromophore), in which loss of labelling signifies oxidation. Secondly, we outline methods that allow specific thiol oxidation states of proteins (e.g. S-sulfenylation, S-nitrosylation, S-thionylation and interprotein disulfide bond formation) to be investigated.Major conclusions
A variety of different gel-based methods for identifying thiol proteins that are sensitive to oxidative modifications have been developed. These methods can aid the detection and quantification of thiol redox state, as well as identifying the sensor protein.General significance
By understanding how cellular redox is sensed and transduced to a functional effect by protein thiol redox sensors, this will help us better appreciate the role of oxidants in health and disease.

Differential detergent fractionation (DDF), which relies on detergents to sequentially extract proteins from eukaryotic cells, has been used to increase proteome coverage of 2D-PAGE. Here, we used DDF extraction in conjunction with the nonelectrophoretic proteomics method of liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. We demonstrate that DDF can be used with 2D-LC ESI MS2 for comprehensive cellular proteomics, including a large proportion of membrane proteins. Compared to some published methods designed to isolate membrane proteins specifically, DDF extraction yields comprehensive proteomes which include twice as many membrane proteins. Two-thirds of these membrane proteins have more than one trans-membrane domain. Since DDF separates proteins based upon their physicochemistry and subcellular localization, this method also provides data useful for functional genome annotation. As more genome sequences are completed, methods which can aid in functional annotation will become increasingly important. 相似文献

Two synaptosomal fractions could be obtained from bovine caudate nucleus on sucrose density gradients one of which had a much greater capacity for high affinity choline uptake than the other but comparable amounts of CAT and choline kinase activity. Specific binding of QNB was widely distributed among all the subcellular fractions except the mitochondrial fraction and in quantitative terms by far the greatest amount was in the microsomal fraction. Only the microsomal fraction contained measurable amounts of glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase.This paper is dedicated to Dr. Derek Richter on his seventy-fifth birthday. 相似文献

Field-flow fractionation (FFF) represents a group of elution separation methods where external force fields act perpendicularly on analytes in a carrier liquid flows with nonuniform velocity profiles. It is an elution separation method that enables to separate analytes in relatively short times and collect fractions for further characterization or for investigation of their properties. Other advantages of FFF are small consumption of samples and gentle experimental conditions. These make FFF uniquely qualified for separation and purification of biological samples. The most promising are applications of different variants of flow FFF utilizing a cross flow through membrane channel walls to separate proteins. The separation is based on differences in protein diffusion coefficients, which allows calculating the size of macromolecules. Other FFF techniques (e.g., electrical, isoelectric, and sedimentation FFF) were also used for separation of biomolecules. FFF appears to be not only promising rapid technique for protein separation but it offers some other advantages in sample preparation, especially, focusing (hyperlayer) FFF techniques that enable preparation of homogeneous fractions of cells. Selected applications of FFF to protein analysis are described and future trends in application of FFF to proteomics are discussed. 相似文献

Biological and medical data have been growing exponentially over the past several years [1, 2]. In particular, proteomics has seen automation dramatically change the rate at which data are generated [3]. Analysis that systemically incorporates prior information is becoming essential to making inferences about the myriad, complex data [4-6]. A Bayesian approach can help capture such information and incorporate it seamlessly through a rigorous, probabilistic framework. This paper starts with a review of the background mathematics behind the Bayesian methodology: from parameter estimation to Bayesian networks. The article then goes on to discuss how emerging Bayesian approaches have already been successfully applied to research across proteomics, a field for which Bayesian methods are particularly well suited [7-9]. After reviewing the literature on the subject of Bayesian methods in biological contexts, the article discusses some of the recent applications in proteomics and emerging directions in the field. 相似文献

Proteome analysis requires a comprehensive approach including high-performance separation methods, mass spectrometric analysis, and bioinformatics. While recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS) have led to remarkable improvements in the ability to characterize complex mixtures of biomolecules in proteomics, a proper pre-MS separation step of proteins/peptides is still required. The need of high-performance separation and/or isolation/purification techniques of proteins is increasing, due to the importance of proteins expressed at extremely low levels in proteome samples. In this review, flow field-flow fractionation (F4) is introduced as a complementary pre-analytical separation method for protein separation/isolation, which can be effectively utilized for proteomic research. F4 is a set of elution-based techniques that are capable of separating macromolecules by differences in diffusion coefficient and, therefore, in hydrodynamic size. F4 provides protein separation without surface interaction of the analyte with packing or gel media. Separation is carried out in an open channel structure by a flow stream of a mobile phase of any composition, and it is solely based on the interaction of the analytes with a perpendicularly-applied, secondary flow of the fluid. Therefore, biological analytes such as proteins can be kept under a bio-friendly environment without losing their original structural configuration. Moreover, proteins fractionated on a size/shape basis can be readily collected for further characterization or proteomic analysis by MS using, for instance, either on-line or off-line methods based on electrospray ionization (ESI) or matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization (MALDI). This review focuses on the advantages of F4 compared to most-assessed separation/isolation techniques for proteomics, and on selected applications based on size-dependent proteome separation. New method developments based on the hyphenation of F4 with on-line or off-line MS, and with other separation methods such as capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) are also described. 相似文献

Summary The acetylcholine-rich electric organ of Torpedo has been submitted to subcellular fractionation in an attempt to isolate nerve endings and synaptic vesicles derived from cholinergic neurones. Fractions containing small vesicles and granules as their only morphologically identifiable components also contained appreciable amounts of bound acetylcholine; however, it was not possible to demonstrate a specific enrichment of any one fraction with respect to bound acetylcholine as has been possible in brain. The tissue proved difficult to homogenize and few detached nerve endings (synaptosomes) were formed. A low-speed fraction rich in Na, K- activated adenosine triphosphatase contained numerous membrane fragments with tubular appendages derived from the non-innervated surface of electroplaques. Homogenization in media isotonic with elasmobranch plasma (e.g. 0.5 M sucrose + 0.33 M urea) was essential to preserve the structure of osmotically sensitive organelles (e.g. mitochondria).We wish to express our gratitude to Dr. R. D. Keynes who arranged the supply of Torpedos and to Mr G. H. C. Dowe and Miss L. Swales for skilled technical assistance. The electron microscopic facilities were provided by a grant from the Wellcome Trust and the work was supported by a grant no.

1) Spermidine and spermine added to the homogenizing medium are able to increase the sedimentation velocity of mitochondria, smooth microsomes, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus and plasma membranes. Spermine at 0.5 mM enhances the sedimentation and at 3 mM is able to sediment, at 600 g for 10 min, almost the totality of membranous components of the cell. 2) Smooth microsomes were used as a model to study the nature of spermine effect. The amount of spermine bound to 1 g of smooth microsomes would increase their density of about 0.02%. In the presence of 1 mM spermine the great majority of smooth microsomes are unable to pass through a 10 μ filter indicating an extensive aggregation of the particles. 3) Spermine induced aggregation of smooth microsomes can be reversed by either heparin or poly-D-glutamic acid. 相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase activities of the virgin rat anterior pituitary were studied with a highly sensitive fluorometric assay. Tissue whole homogenates were fractionated on sucrose density gradients in a Beaufay automatic zonal rotor and the gradient fractions assayed for alkaline phosphatase, prolactin and various organelle marker enzymes. Alkaline phosphatase was distributed between two peaks on the gradient. The low-density (1.10–1.15 g·cm?3) alkaline phosphatase component co-sedimented with the plasma membrane marker, 5′-nucleotidase, had an apparent Km for 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate of approx. 59 μM, and was inhibited by levamisole. The high-density (1.20–1.25 g·cm?3) peak was resistant to levamisole-inhibition, had an apparent Km of approx. 30 μM and its distribution was distinct from plasma membrane, Golgi, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and prolactin granule markers on the isopycnic gradients. 相似文献

A novel technique for differential extraction of subcellular ion pools from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was developed. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and carboxypeptidase Y were chosen as biochemical markers for the cytoplasmic and vacuolar fractions, respectively. Approximately 70% of cytosolic and vacuolar markers were detected in the relevant fractions. Sr2+, Mn2+ and Cd2+ were localised using this method. 相似文献

In modern science proteomic analysis is inseparable from other fields of systemic biology. Possessing huge resources quantitative proteomics operates colossal information on molecular mechanisms of life. Advances in proteomics help researchers to solve complex problems of cell signaling, posttranslational modification, structure and funciotnal homology of proteins, molecular diagnostics etc. More than 40 various methods have been developed in proteomics for quantitative analysis of proteins. Although each method is unique and has certain advantages and disadvantages all these use various isotope labels (tags). In this review we will consider the most popular and effective methods employing both chemical modifications of proteins and also metabolic and enzymatic methods of isotope labeling. 相似文献

The enrichment of targeted low-abundance proteins is possible by affinity adsorption using selected sorbents. Different categories of very dilute proteins are present in most of biological extracts so that specific affinity methods are unable to address their collective enrichment. Only recently an interesting approach has been proposed associating the affinity of multiple ligands used as a library mode under overloading much beyond the saturation of the affinity mixed bed. The principle and the limits of this technology are reported along with their current and potential applications in various domains. 相似文献
