چکیده

We describe methods for densitometry of electrophoretically separated proteins in 25-millimeter microslab gels. The methods are sufficiently sensitive to use with several individually excised plant cells, for which we describe an extraction procedure. In brief, submicrogram samples are excised from freeze-dried plant tissue. Extraction takes place under oil in microliter droplets of detergent. Proteins are separated by one-dimensional microelectrophoresis (HM Poehling, V Neuhoff 1980 Electrophoresis 1: 90-102) and then stained by a sensitive Coomassie procedure (V Neuhoff, R Stamm, E Hansjorg 1985 Electrophoresis 6: 427-448). The resulting profile is scanned by a computerized densitometer based on the Leitz Diavert MPV Microphotometer. Evaluations and typical data demonstrate the high performance of this system.

High-contrast imaging of chlorophyll-containing protein complexes separated by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

Electrophoregrams with bands of green chlorophyll-containing protein complexes separated by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) are usually photographed in white light or scanned by a narrow beam of monochromatic light using densitometers. Present CCD cameras allow taking densitograms of a whole gel surface with many samples. However, commercial CCD imaging systems use mostly white...

2-D gel densitometer for high-contrast and selective imaging of chlorophyll-containing protein complexes separated by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

In this work, we present a home-made two-dimensional (2-D) CCD imaging system for the monochromatic densitometry of plane gels and its application to the imaging and densitometry of chlorophyll (Chl)-containing proteins separated by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The monochromatic imaging of separated green bands at the wavelengths corresponding to their absorption band incr...

Mass Spectrometric Sequencing of Proteins from Silver-Stained Polyacrylamide Gels

Proteins from silver-stained gels can be digested enzymatically and the resulting peptides analyzed and sequenced by mass spectrometry. Standard proteins yield the same peptide maps when extracted from Coomassieand silver-stained gels, as judged by electrospray and MALDI mass spectrometry. The low nanogram range can be reached by the protocols described here, and the method is robust. A silver-...

Proteomic Analysis of Gene Expression in Basal Cell Carcinoma

Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer. Alteration in gene expression is the important event that happens in cancer cell. Detection of this event is possible by proteomics techniques. Methods: Normal and tumor tissues were taken from BCC patient. Total proteins were purified by standard methods, and proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis...

Internal amino acid sequence analysis of proteins separated by one- or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis after in situ protease digestion on nitrocellulose.

We have developed a general two-step method for obtaining peptide fragments for sequence analysis from picomole quantities of proteins separated by gel electrophoresis. After separation by one- or two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, proteins are electrophoretically transferred (electroblotted) onto nitrocellulose, the protein-containing regions are detected by reversible stainin...
