    Notes: The genome of the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis comprises 894 genes predicted by computer-based analysis. As part of a large-scale proteome analysis of C. trachomatis, a small abundant protein encoded by a previously unrecognized novel 204-bp open reading frame was identified by tandem mass spectrometry. No homology of this protein was observed to proteins from other organisms. The protein was conserved in C. trachomatis but not found in Chlamydia pneumoniae. Using proteomics, we show that the expression of the protein is initiated at the middle of the developmental cycle. The protein is rapidly degraded and is only present in reticulate or intermediate bodies, suggesting a possible function in the intracellular stage of C. trachomatis development. We have termed the protein ‘7-kDa reticulate body protein’.

    Notes: The entire genomic DNA sequences of a number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic species are now available and many more, including the human genome, will be completed in the near future. The state-of-life of a cell at any given time, however, is defined by its protein composition, i.e., its proteome. Gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics will be important tools for protein and proteome analysis in the post-genome era. Protein identification from electrophoretic gels by mass spectrometric peptide mapping or peptide sequencing combined with sequence database searching is established and has been applied to numerous biological systems. We describe current strategies and selected applications in molecular and cell biology. The next challenges are detailed structure/function analyses, which include studying the molecular composition of multiprotein complexes and characterization of secondary modifications of proteins. The advantages and limitations of a number of mass spectrometry-based strategies designed for microcharacterization of low amounts of protein from electrophoretic gels are discussed and illustrated by examples.

    Notes: Proteome analysis offers a unique means of identifying important proteins, characterizing their modifications and beginning to describe their function. This is achieved through the combination of two technologies: protein separation and selection by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and protein identification and characterization by mass spectrometry. This methodological outline sketches the strengths and weaknesses of the two central technologies used, and provides both practical tips and the theoretical background for their utilization. One application of these technologies is illustrated by the characterization of genes, revealed by sequencing, but which have no  -  or only weak homology  -  to any other known genes. Other applications, for example the identification of protein markers for particular human diseases, are only referred to. The aim of the article is thus to provide the basis for a sound understanding of the full potential and limitations of proteome analysis.

    Notes: Separation of proteins on either carrier ampholyte-based or immobilized pH gradient-based two-dimensional (2-D) gels gives rise to electrophoretic patterns that are difficult to compare visually. In this paper we have used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) to determine the identities of 335 protein spots in these two 2-D gel systems, including a substantial number of basic proteins which had never been identified before. Proteins that were identified in both gel systems allowed us to cross-reference the gel patterns. Vector analysis of these cross-references demonstrated that there is no obvious pattern by which the mobility of a protein in one gel system can be used to predict its mobility in the other. Thus, as laboratories adopt the immobilized pH gradient-based 2-D gel systems, the only reliable means of translating the data gained with the carrier ampholyte-based gel system is to positively identify the proteins in both 2-D systems.
