  1. Chapter 3 Exploring Proteins and Proteomes

  2. Genome • A collective name for the genes existed in an organism • C. elegance (roundworm) : 97 million bases, 19,000 genes Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) : 180 million bases, 14,000 genes Human : 3 billion bases, 23,000 genes • Static and absolute information Proteome • A collective name for the proteins expressed by the genome • Dynamic and functional information • It varies with cell type, developmental stage, and environmental condition such as the presence of hormones. • Regulation of mRNA synthesis, alternative splicing, mRNA stability, rate of protein synthesis, post-translational modification, protein stability control, protein degradation

  3. Protein Purification • The purification of proteins is an essential first step in understanding their function. • Purification should yield a sample of protein containing only one type of molecule of interest. • Proteins can be separated from one another on the basis of solubility, size, charge, and binding ability. • Assay : a test for some unique identifying property of the protein • Specific Activity : the ratio of enzyme activity to the amount of protein in the enzyme assay NADH can absorb light at 340 nm. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

  4. Homogenation and Fractionation by Centrifugation

  5. Salting Out & Dialysis • Salting Out : protein solubility decrease by very high concentration of salt • Salting In : protein solubility increase by low concentration of salt • Dialysis : separation of small molecules from proteins through membrane with pores such as cellulose membrane (cf. semi-permeable) Ammonium sulfate for protein precipitation

  6. Gel-Filtration Chromatography (Molecular Exclusion, Size Exclusion, Molecular Sieve) • Thyroglobulin (669 kd) • Catalase (232 kd) • BSA (67 kd) • Ovalbumin (43 kd) • Ribonuclease (13.4 kd)

Silver Staining: > 0.02 mg) Except carbohydrate-rich proteins, membrane proteins Mobility ; Log of MW Resolution: 2% MW difference Under BME, DTT One SDS anion for every two a.a.

  12. pI : Isoelectric Point (pH with net charge zero) Isoelectric Focusing & Two Dimensional Electrophoresis

  13. As purification continues, relative presence of contaminants should be decreased and the proportional amount of the protein of interest should be increased. Evaluation of Protein Purification

  14. Centrifugation & Sedimentation Coefficient s = m(1 - v) / f s : sedimentation coefficient m : mass of the particle v : partial specific volume; the reciprocal of the particle density • : density of the medium (1 - v) : buoyant force exerted by liquid medium f : frictional coefficient; a measure of the particle shape • A more massive particle sediments more rapidly. • A more compact shaped particle sediments faster. (i.e. elongated particles sediments more slowly than do spherical ones of the same mass. Frictional coefficient f) • A denser particle sediments more rapidly. Buoyant force is smaller for the denser particle • v < 1 : sink, v > 1 : float, v = 1 : no movement

  19. Gradient (Zonal or Band) Centrifugation: Separation of Non-Denatured Proteins with different sedimentaion coefficients (Size, Density and Shape) Sedimentation velocity Sedimentation equilibrium: centrifuged at low speed so that sedimentation is counter balanced by diffusion • Very accurate in mass determination without denaturing. • useful for large multimeric proteins.

  20. (Asp, Gly2, Ala, Phe, Arg) Determination of Amino Acid Composition of the Peptide • Peptide hydrolyzation by heating it in 6N HCl at 100oC for 24 hrs Ala-Gly-Asp-Phe-Arg-Gly 2. Separation of amino acid hydrolysates by ion-exchange chromatography (e.g. sulfonated polystyrene resin; Dowex-50)

  21. 3A. Quantitation of Each Fraction by Ninhydrin; Yield Visible Color (usually blue except Pro for yellow); Detection Sensitivity = Microgram (10 nmol) of an Amino Acid 3B. Quantitation of Each Fraction by Fluorescamine; Yield Fluorescence; Detection Sensitivity = Nanogram (10 pmol) of an Amino Acid

  31. The sequence of a protein of interest can be compared with all other known sequences to ascertain similarities. (Family, function prediction possible) • Comparison of sequences of the same protein in different species yields a wealth of information about evolutionary pathway. • Amino acid sequences can be searched for the presence of internal repeats. • Many proteins contain amino acid sequences that serve as signals designating their destinations or controlling their processing.

  32. Practical Usage of Amino Acid and DNA Sequences • Amino acid sequence data provide a basis for preparing antibodies specific for a protein of interest. • Amino acid sequence are valuable for making DNA probes that are specific for the genes encoding the corresponding proteins. • The nucleotide sequence of DNA (gene) directly reveals the entire amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene. • However, DNA sequence can not disclose the information regarding post-translational modification.

  33. Antibody • Antibody (immunoglobulin) is a protein synthesized by an animal in response to the presence of a foreign substance (antigen). • Antibodies have specific and high affinity against antigens. • Proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids can be effective antigens. • Epitope : a specific group or cluster (portion) of antigen to stimulate the synthesis of an antibody and recognized by a specific antibody (antigenic determinant) • Hapten : a small molecule containing epitope attached to a carrier

  34. Antibody (continued) • Each antibody producing cell synthesizes only one type of antibody recognizing a single kind of epitope. • The proliferation of a given antibody producing cell is stimulated by the binding of its designated antigen to the cell surface receptor of the antibody producing cell . • Periodic injections of an antigen into the host animal can raise the antibodies specifically recognizing the injected foreign substance. • Blood withdrawn from the immunized host animal  centrifugation  separation of blood cells (pellet) and serum (supernatant)  anti-serum • Anti-serum contains multiple kinds of antibodies each recognizing a different surface feature of the same antigen. • This heterogenic antibodies are called as polyclonal antibodies. • This heterogeneity can complicate the use of these antibodies.

  35. Monoclonal hybridoma cell lines can generate large amount of homogeneous antibodies. • Monoclonal antibodies can serve as precise analytical, preparative and therapeutic reagents.(HCV, HIV, herceptin) Immuno- Staining of Drosophila Embryo using Monoclonal Antibody against Engrailed Monoclonal Antibody Plasma cell by antigen-antibody interaction
