    Notes: Inositol phosphate action in an intact cell has been investigated by intracellular microinjection of eight inositol phosphate derivatives into Xenopus laevis oocytes. These cells have calcium-regulated chloride channels but do not have a calcium-induced calcium release system. Microinjection of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4), inositol 1,2-(cyclic)-4,5-trisphosphate (cIP3), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), or inositol 4,5-bisphosphate [(4,5)IP2], open chloride channels to induce a membrane depolarization. However, inositol 1-phosphate (IP1), inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (IP5), inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, or inositol 3,4-bisphosphate are unable to induce this depolarization. The depolarization is mimicked by calcium microinjection, inhibited by EGTA coinjection, and is insensitive to removal of extracellular calcium. By means of the depolarization response, the efficacy of various inositol phosphate derivatives are compared. IP3 and cIP3 induce similar half-maximal, biphasic depolarization responses at an intracellular concentration of approximately 90 nM, whereas IP4 induces a mono- or biphasic depolarization at approximately 3400 nM. At concentrations similar to that required for IP3 and cIP3, (4,5)IP2 induces a long-term (greater than 40 min) depolarization. The efficacy (cIP3 = IP3 = (4,5)IP2 ≫ IP4) and action of the various inositol phosphates in an intact cell and their inability to induce meiotic cell division are discussed.

    Notes: The gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric peptide sequencing program PEPALG has been implemented in both FORTRAN and PASCAL on a personal computer for convenient off-line analysis. The availability of PEPALG in a microcomputer-based version of both FORTRAN and PASCAL should now allow ready access to this powerful protein sequencing technique by any interested laboratory.

    Notes: We describe the extraction and enrichment of membrane proteins for separation by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) after differential solubilization of an Escherichia coli cell lysate. In a simple three-step sequential solubilization protocol applicable for whole cell lysates, membrane proteins are partitioned from other cellular proteins by their insolubility in solutions conventionally used for isoelectric focusing (IEF). As the first step, Tris-base was used to solubilize many cytosolic proteins. The resultant pellet was then subjected to conventional solubilizing solutions (urea, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate, dithiothreitol, Tris, carrier ampholytes). Following the completion of this step, 89% of the initial E. coli sample mass was solubilized. Finally, the membrane protein rich pellet was partially solubilized using a combination of urea, thiourea, tributyl phosphine and multiple zwitterionic surfactants. Using N-terminal sequence tagging and peptide mass fingerprinting we have identified 11 membrane proteins from this pellet. Two of these outer membrane proteins (Omp), OmpW and OmpX, have previously been known only as an open reading frame in E. coli, while OmpC, OmpT and OmpTOLC have not previously been identified on a 2-D gel. The prefractionation of an entire cell lysate into multiple fractions, based on solubility, results in simplified protein patterns following 2-D PAGE using broad-range pH 3.5-10 immobilized pH gradients (IPGs). Additional advantages of sample prefractionation are that protein identification and gel matching, for database construction, is a more manageable task, the procedure requires no specialized apparatus, and the sequential extraction is conducted in a single centrifuge tube, minimizing protein loss.

    Notes: After a 3 to 6 hour incubation, addition of progesterone (the most effective), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1; the second most effective), or insulin induces meiotic cell division in Xenopus oocytes. Measurement of an endogenous activator of protein kinase C, sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), by an enzymatic method recording mass demonstrates that all three hormones alter DAG levels. Five seconds after addition, only progesterone transiently reduces DAG levels by about 25%. At 15 minutes after addition, all three hormones produce a peak of DAG (115% to 160% of control values), with the more effective hormones producing a larger increase in DAG. Insulin produces the smallest DAG increase, but the DAG release is longer lasting. Finally, all three hormones induce a second peak in DAG levels just before white spot appearance (at 0.85 GVBD50, where 1.0 GVBD50 is when 50% of the cells have divided). With these data and since an activator of protein kinase C, a phorbol ester, has been found to induce meiosis, the kinase may play a role in early proliferative events at the plasma membrane and in late events at the nucleus.

    Notes: The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of methyl (E)-2,3,-diphenylprop-2-enoate and methyl (E)-2-(2-phenylethenyl) benzoate resulting from the electrocyclic ring opening of benzocyclobutenone starting materials have been assigned. A combination of direct detection 2D NMR techniques, COSY, HETCOR and FLOCK, provided the assignments of the 1H and 13C resonances.

    Notes: To understand the changes in protein expression associated with various physiological states as well as the development of pathological eye disease, we have begun to map the protein components of normal human reflex tears. An analytical reference map of normal human reflex tears was created using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) with pH 3.5-10 immobilized pH gradients (IPGs). Micropreparatively loaded gels were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) and analysed by a combination of N-terminal sequence tagging and amino acid compositional analysis. Thirty spots were sequence tagged, resulting in identification of six different proteins (lipocalin, lysozyme, lactotransferrin, zinc-α-2 glycoprotein, cystatin S, cystatin SN) that matched to entries in the SWISS-PROT database. A group of N-terminally blocked proteins was clearly identified from SWISS-PROT by amino acid analysis, isoelectric point (pI) and molecular weight (Mr). A number of highly expressed protein components remain unidentified despite being subjected to amino acid analysis and Edman sequencing. A majority of the abundant proteins showed varying degrees of charge heterogeneity attributed to post-translational processing such as glycosylation and N-terminal truncation. We have identified a previously undescribed protein that we have named lacryglobin. This protein displays strong homology with mammaglobin, a protein overexpressed in breast cancer. The discovery of this homologue in tears offers the potential for disease diagnosis by screening tear fluid proteins.

    Notes: In this study, dithiothreitol was replaced by tributyl phosphine as the reducing agent in both the sample solution for the first-dimensional isoelectric focusing and during the immobilised pH gradient (IPG) equilibration procedure. Tributyl phosphine improves protein solubility during isoelectric focusing, which results in shorter run times and increased resolution. Tributyl phosphine is nonionic and thus does not migrate in the IPG, therefore maintaining reducing conditions during the course of the first-dimensional separation. The increased solubility provided by the maintenance of reducing conditions gives improved focusing and decreased horizontal streaking on the subsequent second-dimension gel. The use of tributyl phosphine in the equilibration step allows the procedure to be simplified, incorporating reduction and alkylation in a single step. This is possible because, in direct contrast to dithiothreitol (DTT), tributyl phosphine does not contain a free thiol and therefore does not react with thiol-specific alkylating reagents.

    Notes: The field of proteomics opens new possibilities for the mass screening of proteins from many different sources. While genomics is well understood to be a big science field, proteomics is just emerging as such. This paper describes the setting up of the first national proteomics facility. The facility has been funded by the Australian government and this funding has allowed the design of purpose built, integrated laboratories with state of the art equipment for large scale proteome research.
