Preparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of membrane proteins

Electrophoresis

Abstract

Electrophoretic techniques, and especially two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), have provided an indispensable set of tools for the separation of complex protein mixtures as well as for the identification of protein-protein interactions. Nevertheless, after its introduction more than twenty years ago and even with recent technical developments, the separation of integral and peripheral membrane proteins, in amounts sufficient for microsequencing, is still a difficult task. Lipids present in the membrane as well as the low solubility of hydrophobic membrane proteins result in protein aggregation both on the sample application point and on isoelectric focusing. As a consequence many proteins do not enter the first or second dimension of 2-DE. Here we describe the modification of a protocol using a combination of 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS), chaotropic agents (thiourea, urea), Tris base and reducing agents (1,4-dithioerythritol) to improve solubilization of integral and peripheral membrane proteins. Preparative amounts of membrane proteins (up to 2 mg) were loaded during reswelling of dry immobilized pH gradients and the resulting Coomassie staining patterns were largely superimposabl...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
