    Notes: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis separates large numbers of proteins in two steps on the basis of differences in their pIs and molecular masses. The separation is usually performed on immobilized pH gradient strips, followed by gradient polyacrylamide gels separating proteins with molecular masses between 5-200 kDa. For the first-dimensional separation the protein samples are usually applied near one end of the strip. Using total soluble protein extracts of the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, we found that simultaneous sample application at both the basic and the acidic ends of the strip resulted in detection of more and stronger protein spots in comparison with sample application at one end only. Because many proteins of an organism have similar pI and Mr values, an overlapping of protein spots is frequently observed in the second-dimensional separation. The soluble protein fraction of H. influenzae was further separated on gels of constant acrylamide concentration between 7.5% and 15.0%. We found that for proteins of molecular mass within certain ranges, the gels of homogeneous acrylamide concentration provided more efficient spot separation than the gradient gels. The observed improvements in spot resolution may be useful in the characterization of proteins from other organisms or cell lines.

    Notes: Haemophilus influenzae is a bacterium of medical interest of which the entire genome has been sequenced. The proteome of the microorganism has been analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, during which immobilized pH 3-10 gradient strips were used and approximately 300 proteins were identified. In order to detect additional, basic proteins, we analyzed the soluble protein fraction of H. influenzae and the proteins of fractions collected from affinity chromatography on heparin, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, using for the first-dimensional separation immobilized pH gradient strips comprising the pH region of 6-11. The protein spots were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry. One hundred and two proteins were identified, of which 58 were identified for the first time. A large percentage of the basic proteins represent nucleic acid binding and, in particular, ribosomal proteins. The locations of the identified basic proteins of H. influenzae are indicated in a two-dimensional map.

    Notes: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis separates several hundred protein molecules in one single experiment and is efficiently used to study the products expressed by different genomes. Low-copy-number gene products are invisible on a stained two-dimensional map and must be enriched such that sufficient amounts are present for visualization and identification. We investigated the enrichment of proteins of the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae by chromatography on immobilized heparin which has affinity for growth and protein biosynthesis factors. Total soluble proteins of the microorganism were fractionated on Heparin-Actigel which resulted in enrichment of approximately 160 proteins. The eluates, representing about 40% of the applied proteins, were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and the protein spots were characterized by amino acid composition analysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry. The proteins enriched by chromatography on the heparin gel were not exclusively low-copy-number gene products and they did not exclusively belong to one single class of proteins. The proteins that bound to the heparin gel are indicated in a two-dimensional protein map which includes more than 110 newly identified proteins.

    Notes: High-resolution two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis allows the separation of complex biological mixtures (i.e., several hundred proteins from a bacterial cell lysate) in a single experiment. In this report proteins from Haemophilus influenzae were separated by 2-D gels and analyzed by peptide mass fingerprinting and/or amino acid analysis. By comparing the peptide mass profiles and the amino acid composition with the Haemophilus influenzae database, 119 protein spots were identified. The combination of amino acid analysis and peptide mass fingerprinting is a powerful tool for a rapid and economical identification of a large number of proteins resolved by 2-D gels. Studies on gene regulation and changes of protein expression upon drug treatment require quick and serial analysis techniques to efficiently identify potential new drug targets.

    Notes: Analysis of the proteome of Haemophilus influenzae by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on conventional Tris-glycine gels does not usually result in efficient separation of the proteins in the 5-20 kDa range, which are mainly accumulated in the lower acidic and basic regions. In order to improve the separation of the low molecular mass proteins, we used homogeneous Tricine gels of two urea concentrations in the second-dimensional separation. The Tricine gel systems allowed the efficient and reproducible separation of the proteins of the microorganism with masses between 5 and 20 kDa, however, no proteins with masses below 5 kDa could be visualized. Approximately 80 proteins migrating in the 5-25 kDa region were identified by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization - mass spectrometry, of which 40 identified for the first time. The digestion of the low mass proteins often produced only few peptides, which were insufficient for confident identification by mass spectrometry. Therefore, the identification was occasionally achieved by a sequential digestion with two proteases, trypsin or endoproteinase Lys-C as first and carboxypeptidase P as second enzyme. The gel system described may be useful for the efficient separation of low molecular mass proteins from other organisms to construct standard maps.
