Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of membrane proteins from ectomycorrhizal fungi

Two-dimensional electrophoresis of membrane proteins.

One third of all genes of various organisms encode membrane proteins, emphasizing their crucial cellular role. However, due to their high hydrophobicity, membrane proteins demonstrate low solubility and a high tendency for aggregation. Indeed, conventional two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), a powerful electrophoretic method for the separation of complex protein samples that applies iso...

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting of Campylobacter pylori proteins.

Whole-cell, outer-membrane protein, flagellum-associated antigens and partially purified urease of Campylobacter pylori were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. C. pylori strains were readily distinguished from strains of Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, and C. fetus by absence of major outer membrane proteins with Mrs of 41,000 to 45,000. C. pylori strains also lacked the acidic sur...

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of cerebrospinal fluid proteins.

Two-dimensional electrophoresis, with isoelectric focusing in the first dimension and sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the second, has been adapted for the high-resolution analysis of cerebrospinal fluid proteins. Proteins were detected with a new, highly sensitive silver stain that made visible more than 300 polypeptides from 60 microL of spinal fluid, in highly rep...

Resolution of microsomal membrane proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis [proceedings].

the citrate medium described by Halestrap (1976) was used, since this generated a pH gradient (alkaline inside) which aided pyruvate and lactate accumulation. In other experiments buffered saline was used as described by Spencer & Lehninger (1976) in order to resemble the physiological situation more closely. Details of the conditions are given in the legends to the Figure and Table. In Fig. 1 ...
