CEG Protein Analysis Workshop Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Yu Liang, Ph.D. Proteomics Core Facility at UC Medical Center
From Genotype to Phenotype • Genome: DNAs • Transcriptome: RNAs • Proteome: Proteins • Physiome: Metabolites • Biome: Environment
Beyond the Genome • Proteins are ultimately responsible for all biological processes that take place within cells. • Protein dynamics reflect the state of biological system at a given time • Detection and identification of post-translational modifications (PTM)

FAQs • How do I get started? • What do I get for my result? • How much protein should I load for the 2-D gel analysis? • How long will it take to get the results? • Who is responsible for preparation of protein samples? • What protocol should I use for protein solubilization?
Sample Preparation • The most important step towards the success of 2-D electrophoresis • Basic rules: keep everything simple use high-purity reagents • Keep proteins denatured and in solution: 7M urea, 2M thiourea, and 4% CHAPS. • Break disulfide bonds: 20 mM DTT. (NOT 2-ME) • Prevent protein modification: protease inhibitors; phosphatase inhibitors. • NO ionic detergent, esp. SDS. Non-ionic detergents are OK, e.g. Triton X-100 and NP-40. • Keep salt concentration below 10 mM. • Clean up interfering substance, including salt, nucleic acids, lipids, and polysaccharides: acetone (TCA) precipitation and commercial kits.
New Fuji FLA 5100 • Pro-Q diamond fluorescent staining for phosphoproteins • Multiplexing using DIGE
Multiplexing by Difference Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE) DIGE with CyDye labeling of protein (Amersham Web Site)
Multiplexing by Difference Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE) • Comparison of samples within the same geleliminates gel-to-gel variation • Including the internal standards improves statistical confidence of comparing samples for protein abundance changes • Reduces number of gels needed to be run in the experiment: 2 comparing groups with 6 individuals, 36 gels for regular 2-D gels 12 gels for 2-dye DIGE 6 gels for 3-dye DIGE
Post-Translational Modifications • Important for biological processes, particularly signal transductions • Most cellular processes are regulated by reversible phosphorylation of proteins • Studies of phosphorylated proteins involve radioisotope-labeling and specific antibodies
Pro-Q Diamond Staining of a 2-D gel • Selectively stains phosphoproteins in 2-D gel • Allows direct in-gel detection of phosphate groups attached to tyrosine, serine, or threonine residues • NO NEED for antibody and radioisotope • Signal correlates with the number of phosphate groups • Fully compatible with mass spectrometry • Ratio of Pro-Q diamond to Sypro Ruby • =phosphorylation level/total protein
