Notes:
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) proteins were isolated from five tissues (leaf, stem, root, seed and callus), and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). 2-DE was carried out by immobilized pH gradient (IPG) in the first dimension, and by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in the second dimension. With the aid of comigrated five-marker proteins, the patterns of 2-DE gels for each tissue were graphically combined by a computer into a single synthetic image for the integrated Arabidopsis protein spots. The protein spot images, altogether 4763, were characterized by both molecular mass and isoelectric point. Partial amino(N)-terminal sequences of 101 protein spots were analyzed by Edman degradation. Fifty seven proteins were partially sequenced and 46 proteins appeared to have blocked N-termini. Deblocking by hydrazine vapor was carried out on 14 proteins and two of them were found to be pyroglutamyl-blocked N-termini. Forty seven new proteins were found by the present investigation.
