[PMID: 36365284 PMCID: PMC9658473 DOI: 10.3390/plants11212831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Grape seeds are the wineries' main by-products, and their disposal causes ecological and environmental problems. In this study seeds from the pomace waste of autochthonous grape varieties from Lebanon, Obeidi (white variety) and Asswad Karech (red variety) were used for a multi-step biomass fractionation. For the first step, a lipid extraction was performed, and the obtained yield was 12.33% (w/w) for Obeidi and 13.04% (w/w) for Asswad Karech. For the second step, polyphenols' recovery from the defatted seeds was carried out, resulting in 12.0% (w/w) for Obeidi and 6.6% (w/w) for Asswad Karech, with Obeidi's extract having the highest total phenolic content (333.1 ± 1.6 mg GAE/g dry matter) and antioxidant activity (662.17 ± 0.01 µg/mL of Trolox equivalent). In the third step, the defatted and dephenolized seeds were subsequently extracted under alkaline conditions and the proteins were isoelectric precipitated. The recovered protein extract was 3.90% (w/w) for Obeidi and 4.11% (w/w) for Asswad Karech seeds, with Asswad Karech's extract having the highest protein content (64 ± 0.2 mg protein/g dry matter). The remaining exhausted residue can be valorized in cosmetic scrubs formulations as a replacement for plastic microbeads. The designed zero-waste approach multi-step biomass fractionation has the potential to improve the valorization of the side products (grape seeds) of these two Lebanese autochthonous grape varieties.

Abstract
Metal-containing drugs have long been used in anticancer therapies. The mechansims of action of platinum-based drugs are now well-understood, which cannot be said of drugs containing other metals, such as gold or copper. To gain further insights into such mechanisms, we used a classical proteomic approach based on two-dimensional elelctrophoresis to investigate the mechanisms of action of a hydroxyquinoline-copper complex, which shows promising anticancer activities, using the leukemic cell line RAW264.7 as the biological target. Pathway analysis of the modulated proteins highlighted changes in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway, the mitochondrion, the cell adhesion-cytoskeleton pathway, and carbon metabolism or oxido-reduction. In line with these prteomic-derived hypotheses, targeted validation experiments showed that the hydroxyquinoline-copper complex induces a massive reduction in free glutathione and a strong alteration in the actin cytoskeleton, suggesting a multi-target action of the hydroxyquinoline-copper complex on cancer cells.

A quantitative proteomic analysis of cofilin phosphorylation in myeloid cells and its modulation using the LIM kinase inhibitor Pyr1. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0208979.

Abstract
LIM kinases are located at a strategic crossroad, downstream of several signaling pathways and upstream of effectors such as microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton. Cofilin is the only LIM kinases substrate that is well described to date, and its phosphorylation on serine 3 by LIM kinases controls cofilin actin-severing activity. Consequently, LIM kinases inhibition leads to actin cytoskeleton disorganization and blockade of cell motility, which makes this strategy attractive in anticancer treatments. LIMK has also been reported to be involved in pathways that are deregulated in hematologic malignancies, with little information regarding cofilin phosphorylation status. We have used proteomic approaches to investigate quantitatively and in detail the phosphorylation status of cofilin in myeloid tumor cell lines of murine and human origin. Our results show that under standard conditions, only a small fraction (10 to 30% depending on the cell line) of cofilin is phosphorylated (including serine 3 phosphorylation). In addition, after a pharmacological inhibition of LIM kinases, a residual cofilin phosphorylation is observed on serine 3. Interestingly, this 2D gel based proteomic study identified new phosphorylation sites on cofilin, such as threonine 63, tyrosine 82 and serine 108.

Abstract
The technological and economic benefits of engineered nanomaterials may be offset by their adverse effects on living organisms. One of the highly produced nanomaterials under such scrutiny is amorphous silica nanoparticles, which are known to have an appreciable, although reversible, inflammatory potential. This is due to their selective toxicity toward macrophages, and it is thus important to study the cellular responses of this cell type to silica nanoparticles to better understand the direct or indirect adverse effects of nanosilica. We have here studied the responses of the RAW264.7 murine macrophage cells and of the control MPC11 plasma cells to subtoxic concentrations of nanosilica, using a combination of proteomic and targeted approaches. This allowed us to document alterations in the cellular cytoskeleton, in the phagocytic capacity of the cells as well as their ability to respond to bacterial stimuli. More surprisingly, silica nanoparticles also induce a greater sensitivity of macrophages to DNA alkylating agents, such as styrene oxide, even at doses which do not induce any appreciable cell death.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Although the biological effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) have been studied for more than two decades, the mechanisms governing their toxicity are still unclear. We applied 2D-gel proteomics analysis on A549 epithelial alveolar cells chronically exposed for 2months to 2.5 or 50μg/mL of deeply characterized TiO2-NPs, in order to obtain comprehensive molecular responses that may reflect functional outcomes. We show that exposure to TiO2-NPs impacts the abundance of 30 protein species, corresponding to 22 gene products. These proteins are involved in glucose metabolism, trafficking, gene expression, mitochondrial function, proteasome activity and DNA damage response. Besides, our results suggest that p53 pathway is activated, slowing down cell cycle progression and reducing cell proliferation rate. Moreover, we report increased content of chaperones-related proteins, which suggests homeostasis re-establishment. Finally, our results highlight that chronic exposure to TiO2-NPs affects the same cellular functions as acute exposure to TiO2-NPs, although lower exposure concentrations and longer exposure times induce more intense cellular response. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Our results make possible the identification of new mechanisms that explain TiO2-NP toxicity upon long-term, in vitro exposure of A549 cells. It is the first article describing -omics results obtained with this experimental strategy. We show that this long-term exposure modifies the cellular content of proteins involved in functions including mitochondrial activity, intra- and extracellular trafficking, proteasome activity, glucose metabolism, and gene expression. Moreover we observe modification of content of proteins that activate the p53 pathway, which suggest the induction of a DNA damage response. Technically, our results show that exposure of A549 cells to a high concentration of TiO2-NPs leads to the identification of modulations of the same functional categories than exposure to low, more realistic concentrations. Still the intensity differs between these two exposure scenarios. We also show that chronic exposure to TiO2-NPs induces the modulation of cellular functions that have already been reported in the literature as being impacted in acute exposure scenarios. This proves that the exposure protocol in in vitro experiments related to nanoparticle toxicology might be cautiously chosen since inappropriate scenario may lead to inappropriate and/or incomplete conclusions.

Abstract
Microorganisms, such as bacteria, are one of the first targets of nanoparticles in the environment. In this study, we tested the effect of two nanoparticles, ZnO and TiO2, with the salt ZnSO4 as the control, on the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis by 2D gel electrophoresis-based proteomics. Despite a significant effect on viability (LD50), TiO2 NPs had no detectable effect on the proteomic pattern, while ZnO NPs and ZnSO4 significantly modified B. subtilis metabolism. These results allowed us to conclude that the effects of ZnO observed in this work were mainly attributable to Zn dissolution in the culture media. Proteomic analysis highlighted twelve modulated proteins related to central metabolism: MetE and MccB (cysteine metabolism), OdhA, AspB, IolD, AnsB, PdhB and YtsJ (Krebs cycle) and XylA, YqjI, Drm and Tal (pentose phosphate pathway). Biochemical assays, such as free sulfhydryl, CoA-SH and malate dehydrogenase assays corroborated the observed central metabolism reorientation and showed that Zn stress induced oxidative stress, probably as a consequence of thiol chelation stress by Zn ions. The other patterns affected by ZnO and ZnSO4 were the stringent response and the general stress response. Nine proteins involved in or controlled by the stringent response showed a modified expression profile in the presence of ZnO NPs or ZnSO4: YwaC, SigH, YtxH, YtzB, TufA, RplJ, RpsB, PdhB and Mbl. An increase in the ppGpp concentration confirmed the involvement of the stringent response during a Zn stress. All these metabolic reorientations in response to Zn stress were probably the result of complex regulatory mechanisms including at least the stringent response via YwaC.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide and copper oxide nanoparticles are more and more widely used because of their catalytic properties, of their light absorbing properties (titanium dioxide) or of their biocidal properties (copper oxide), increasing the risk of adverse health effects. In this frame, the responses of mouse macrophages were studied. Both proteomic and targeted analyses were performed to investigate several parameters, such as phagocytic capacity, cytokine release, copper release, and response at sub toxic doses. Besides titanium dioxide and copper oxide nanoparticles, copper ions were used as controls. We also showed that the overall copper release in the cell does not explain per se the toxicity observed with copper oxide nanoparticles. In addition, both copper ion and copper oxide nanoparticles, but not titanium oxide, induced DNA strands breaks in macrophages. As to functional responses, the phagocytic capacity was not hampered by any of the treatments at non-toxic doses, while copper ion decreased the lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine and nitric oxide productions. The proteomic analyses highlighted very few changes induced by titanium dioxide nanoparticles, but an induction of heme oxygenase, an increase of glutathione synthesis and a decrease of tetrahydrobiopterin in response to copper oxide nanoparticles. Subsequent targeted analyses demonstrated that the increase in glutathione biosynthesis and the induction of heme oxygenase (e.g. by lovastatin/monacolin K) are critical for macrophages to survive a copper challenge, and that the intermediates of the catecholamine pathway induce a strong cross toxicity with copper oxide nanoparticles and copper ions.

Abstract
Two different zinc oxide nanoparticles, as well as zinc ions, are used to study the cellular responses of the RAW 264 macrophage cell line. A proteomic screen is used to provide a wide view of the molecular effects of zinc, and the most prominent results are cross-validated by targeted studies. Furthermore, the alteration of important macrophage functions (e.g. phagocytosis) by zinc is also investigated. The intracellular dissolution/uptake of zinc is also studied to further characterize zinc toxicity. Zinc oxide nanoparticles dissolve readily in the cells, leading to high intracellular zinc concentrations, mostly as protein-bound zinc. The proteomic screen reveals a rather weak response in the oxidative stress response pathway, but a strong response both in the central metabolism and in the proteasomal protein degradation pathway. Targeted experiments confirm that carbohydrate catabolism and proteasome are critical determinants of sensitivity to zinc, which also induces DNA damage. Conversely, glutathione levels and phagocytosis appear unaffected at moderately toxic zinc concentrations.

Abstract
The molecular responses of macrophages to copper-based nanoparticles have been investigated via a combination of proteomic and biochemical approaches, using the RAW264.7 cell line as a model. Both metallic copper and copper oxide nanoparticles have been tested, with copper ion and zirconium oxide nanoparticles used as controls. Proteomic analysis highlighted changes in proteins implicated in oxidative stress responses (superoxide dismutases and peroxiredoxins), glutathione biosynthesis, the actomyosin cytoskeleton, and mitochondrial proteins (especially oxidative phosphorylation complex subunits). Validation studies employing functional analyses showed that the increases in glutathione biosynthesis and in mitochondrial complexes observed in the proteomic screen were critical to cell survival upon stress with copper-based nanoparticles; pharmacological inhibition of these two pathways enhanced cell vulnerability to copper-based nanoparticles, but not to copper ions. Furthermore, functional analyses using primary macrophages derived from bone marrow showed a decrease in reduced glutathione levels, a decrease in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and inhibition of phagocytosis and of lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production. However, only a fraction of these effects could be obtained with copper ions. In conclusion, this study showed that macrophage functions are significantly altered by copper-based nanoparticles. Also highlighted are the cellular pathways modulated by cells for survival and the exemplified cross-toxicities that can occur between copper-based nanoparticles and pharmacological agents.

Abstract
Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2 DE) is one of the most important proteomic tools and allows studying the complexity of proteomes of different origin. This chapter describes a setup for 2D DIGE with minimal labeling for qualitative and quantitative applications. It relies on homemade gels of medium size and in our hands has been found useful for a wide variety of separation problems involving complex protein mixtures of animal or human origin. The basic method is given for serum proteins of different species, but with minor modifications the method may be easily adapted to other sample materials (other body fluids, cells, tissues), conditions, or size. Examples are given for simple pattern comparisons (e.g., quality control, fast comparison of just two samples) as well as for quantitative applications to larger sample sets.

Abstract
Microtubule-binding proteins are conveniently divided into two large groups: MAPs (microtubule-associated proteins), which can stabilize, anchor, and/or nucleate microtubules, and motors, which use the energy of ATP hydrolysis for a variety of functions, including microtubule network organization and cargo transportation along microtubules. Here, we describe the use of Taxol-stabilized microtubules for purification of MAPs, motors, and their complexes from Xenopus egg extracts. Isolated proteins are analysed using sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and identified by various mass spectrometry and database mining technologies. Found proteins can be grouped into three classes: (1) known MAPs and motors; (2) proteins previously reported as associated with the microtubule cytoskeleton, but without a clearly defined cytoskeletal function; (3) proteins not yet described as having microtubule localization. Sequence-similarity methods employed for protein identification allow efficient identification of MAPs and motors from species with yet unsequenced genomes.

Abstract
The analysis of secreted proteins represents a challenge for current proteomics techniques. Proteins are usually secreted at low concentrations in the culture media, which makes their recovery difficult. In addition, culture media are rich in salts and other compounds interfering with most proteomics techniques, which makes selective precipitation of proteins almost mandatory for a correct subsequent proteomics analysis. Last but not least, the non-secreted proteins liberated in the culture medium upon lysis of a few dead cells heavily contaminate the so-called secreted proteins preparations. Several techniques have been used in the past for concentration of proteins secreted in culture media. These techniques present several drawbacks, such as coprecipitation of salts or poor yields at low protein concentrations. Improved techniques based on carrier-assisted TCA precipitation are described and discussed in this report. These techniques have been used to analyze the secretome of myeloid cells (macrophages, dendritic cells) and enabled to analyze proteins secreted at concentrations close to 1 ng/mL, thereby allowing the detection of some of the cytokines (TNF, IL-12) secreted by the myeloid cells upon activation by bacterial products.

Abstract
The present review (a follow up of Electrophoresis 2006, 27, 923-938 on conventional IEF) highlights the developmental steps of the IPG technology, from a nebulous start limiting the technique to just 1 pH unit intervals up to the description of extended pH gradients, encompassing as much as 8.5 pH units. Although computer algorithms had been developed for optimizing recipes so as to obtain the most precise and most linear pH gradients, it was also realized that nonlinear pH intervals, covering the pH 3-10 range, would be extremely beneficial in 2-D map analysis, since they would follow the pI distribution of proteins in living systems. The synthesis of a number of Immobiline chemicals (the acrylamido weak acids and bases meant to be incorporated into the nascent polyacrylamide chains) is also reported. The review ends with preparative aspects of IPGs, with the introduction of multicompartment electrolyzers with Immobiline membranes.

Abstract
The proper functioning of mitochondria requires that both the mitochondrial and the nuclear genome are functional. To investigate the importance of the mitochondrial genome, which encodes only 13 subunits of the respiratory complexes, the mitochondrial rRNAs and a few tRNAs, we performed a comparative study on the 143B cell line and on its Rho-0 counterpart, i.e., devoid of mitochondrial DNA. Quantitative differences were found, of course in the respiratory complexes subunits, but also in the mitochondrial translation apparatus, mainly mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, and in the ion and protein import system, i.e., including membrane proteins. Various mitochondrial metabolic processes were also altered, especially electron transfer proteins and some dehydrogenases, but quite often on a few proteins for each pathway. This study also showed variations in some hypothetical or poorly characterized proteins, suggesting a mitochondrial localization for these proteins. Examples include a stomatin-like protein and a protein sharing homologies with bacterial proteins implicated in tyrosine catabolism. Proteins involved in apoptosis control are also found modulated in Rho-0 mitochondria.

Abstract
The birth and evolution of IEF in conventional carrier ampholyte buffers is reviewed here, from a shaky start during World War II, via desperate attempts of Svensson to create pH gradients by stationary electrolysis of salts, to the development of the IEF theory and the solution of the steady-state equation. The remarkable synthetic process of Ampholines, as ingeniously devised by Vesterberg, is additionally recalled, with a thorough description of the fundamental properties of these amphoteric buffers, creating and maintaining the pH gradient under strong electric fields. The review ends with a mention of the major contributions of B. J. Radola to this field, namely analytical and preparative IEF in granulated Sephadex layers and the development of ultrathin IEF, in polyacrylamide gels as thin as 20-100 mum. The latter technique paved the way to DNA sequencing gels and to CZE. The symptoms of decay are here presented through the simulations of Mosher and Thormann, clearly indicating an isotachophoretic mechanism for pH gradient decay with time. The decay of IEF was the birth of IPGs.

Abstract
Serum collected in a time-course mode during the pregnancy of a group of heifers was analyzed by 2-DE under various experimental conditions to optimize resolution of all protein spots. Changes in the levels of some components were detected during the last phase of pregnancy and early postpartum. These included a decrease of alpha2-HS-glycoprotein, an increase of alpha1-antichymotrypsin and, with a much larger and more abrupt variation, of orosomucoid and haptoglobin. These findings associate the weeks preceding calving with an acute-phase reaction. Analysis of individual animal's sera by 1-DE demonstrated a higher level of orosomucoid in the sera of cows developing postpartum endometritis during the 2 wk after calving (i.e., in the course of the infection) but a lower level during the 2 wk before calving. This observation could represent an important tool for the prepartum detection of animals prone to develop postpartum endometritis and lead to a more accurate peripartum management of those animals.

Abstract
We present reference maps of the mouse serum proteome (run under reducing and non-reducing conditions), from control animals, from mice injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce systemic inflammation, and from mice transgenic for human apolipoproteins A-I and A-II. Seventy-seven spots/spot chains from the reducing gels were identified by HPLC MS/MS, representing 28 distinct proteins, including a species-specific protease inhibitor, contrapsin, and high levels of carboxylesterase. The concentrations of acute-phase reactants were monitored for 96 h after LPS challenge. The greatest changes (four-fold 48 h after LPS administration) were observed for haptoglobin and hemopexin. Orosomucoid/alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein and apolipoprotein A-I increased steadily, to 50-60% above baseline at 96 h from stimulation. In mice transgenic for human apolipoprotein A-I the levels of expression of orosomucoid/alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein, alpha(1)-macroglobulin, esterase, kininogen and contrapsin were altered compared to knockout mice lacking apolipoprotein A-I. In contrast, except for the presence of apolipoprotein A-II, no statistically significant difference was observed in mice transgenic for human apolipoprotein A-II.

Abstract
Recently produced information on post-translational modifications makes it possible to interpret their biological regulation with new insights. Various protein modifications finely tune the cellular functions of each protein. Understanding the relationship between post-translational modifications and functional changes ("post-translatomics") is another enormous project, not unlike the human genome project. Proteomics, combined with separation technology and mass spectrometry, makes it possible to dissect and characterize the individual parts of post-translational modifications and provide a systemic analysis. Systemic analysis of post-translational modifications in various signaling pathways has been applied to illustrate the kinetics of modifications. Availability will advance new technologies that improve sensitivity and peptide coverage. The progress of "post-translatomics", novel analytical technologies that are rapidly emerging, offer a great potential for determining the details of the modification sites.

Abstract
The influence of thiol blocking on the resolution of basic proteins by two-dimensional electrophoresis was investigated. Cysteine blocking greatly increased resolution and decreased streaking, especially in the basic region of the gels. Two strategies for cysteine blocking were found to be efficient: classical alkylation with maleimide derivatives and mixed disulfide exchange with an excess of a low molecular weight disulfide. The effect on resolution was significant enough to allow correct resolution of basic proteins with in-gel rehydration on wide gradients (e.g. 3-10 and 4-12), but anodic cup-loading was still required for basic gradients (e.g. 6-12 or 8-12). These results demonstrate that thiol-related problems are not solely responsible for streaking of basic proteins on two-dimensional gels.

Abstract
In this review we list from literature investigations on rat serum proteins using electrophoretic techniques in connection with drug testing. From our own research work, we provide annotated two-dimensional maps of rat serum proteins under control and experimental conditions. Emphasis is on species-specific components and on the effects of acute and chronic inflammation. We discuss our project of structural proteomics on rat serum as a minimally invasive approach to pharmacological investigation, and we outline a typical experimental plan for drug testing according to the above guidelines. We then report in detail on the results of our trials of anti-inflammatory drugs on adjuvant arthritis, an animal model of disease resembling in many aspects human rheumatoid arthritis. We demonstrate a correlation between biochemical parameters and therapeutic findings and outline the advantages of the chosen methodological approach, which proved also sensitive in revealing "side effects" of the test drugs. In an appendix we describe our experimental protocol when performing two-dimensional electrophoresis of rat serum.

Abstract
The effect of adjuvant arthritis (AA) on the pattern of rat serum proteins includes the upregulation of haptoglobin, orosomucoid, alpha2-macroglobulin, serine protease inhibitor-3, thiostatin, alpha1-antitrypsin, C-reactive protein, and the downregulation of kallikrein-binding protein, alpha1-inhibitor III, apolipoprotein A-I, alpha2-HS-glycoprotein, albumin, apolipoprotein A-IV, transthyretin and transferrin. Minor changes (+/- 20%) are observed for Gc-globulin, ceruloplasmin, and alpha1-macroglobulin. AA thus grossly resembles the acute inflammatory response elicited by the injection of turpentine, although the changes in the levels of negative acute-phase proteins (APP) are smaller in acute inflammation. Indomethacine and ibuprofen inhibit the effects of arthritis on the synthesis of rat serum proteins in different ways: The former is, on average, three times as effective as the latter. Each drug interferes differently with different proteins. In animals without AA, both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) mimic the inflammatory pattern to a certain extent, with more effect on the negative than on the positive APPs. Overall, the shifts in serum protein levels parallel changes in inflammatory parameters such as joint swelling and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) activity. Protein quantitation after two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) reveals some effects of the drugs per se which escape detection by other routine tests.

Abstract
We have previously described the major components of rat serum (Electrophoresis 1998, 19, 1484-1492 and 1493-1500). In this report we examine sex-related differences in protein concentrations, both in control animals and upon experimentally induced inflammation. Under baseline conditions approximately one third of the spots resolved in serum by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) are expressed at levels > or =25% higher in female rats than in male rats and a further 10% at levels > or =25% lower. Inflammation increases the expression of the positive acute-phase reactants: hemopexin, ceruloplasmin, alpha1-antitrypsin (all approximately 2-fold), C-reactive protein (3- to 5-fold), serine protease inhibitor-3 (4- to 5-fold), thiostatin (> 5-fold in females, >20-fold in males), clusterin, orosomucoid, haptoglobin chains and alpha2-macroglobulin. The baseline level of the last four markers is below the detection limit, hence no percent increase can be computed. Conversely, negative acute-phase reactants are reduced on inflammation: alpha1-inhibitor III, alpha2-HS-glycoprotein, kallikrein-binding protein and transthyretin (all reduced to between 1/2 to 1/3 of the baseline levels), retinol-binding protein (to about 1/2 to 1/4) and albumin (to 2/3). Except for thiostatin, the changes in acute-phase protein levels are similar in male and female rats.

Abstract
Changes in the concentration of major serum proteins were monitored from day 0 to day 4 in three experimental groups: rats injected with turpentine, rats receiving the turpentine shot and daily doses of indomethacine, and rats given indomethacine alone. In inflamed animals, peak changes for acute-phase reactants, evaluated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), were usually observed between 48 and 72 h after the phlogistic stimulus. By itself, indomethacine was found to affect the synthesis of most proteins (except one of the thiostatin variants and ceruloplasmin); the changes in serum levels, whether positive or negative, were the same as upon inflammation (except for kallikrein-binding protein), but their extent and/or timing usually differed. When inflamed animals were given indomethacine, a clear-cut difference in the concentration of some proteins was observed versus inflamed rats not given medication, at 24 h after the start of the treatments. Proteins mainly affected were alpha2-macroglobulin, alpha2-HS-glycoprotein, C-reactive protein and kallikrein-binding protein.

Abstract
This report complements the database already detailed for serum proteins of healthy adult male rats (P. Haynes et al., Electrophoresis 1998, 19, 1484-1492). The influence on the two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) pattern of certain physiological conditions (sex, age) was studied as well as of changes in thyroid metabolism. We have extended the information about the major components of rat serum by identifying the proteins typical for the response to acute inflammation. Analyzing 27 spots, six proteins not found in control sera could be recognized; migration at overlapping or close positions with five already characterized proteins was observed for some. A compilation of all our rat data can be accessed through: http://weber.u.washington.edu/ruedilab/ aebersold.html.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis separates large numbers of proteins in two steps on the basis of differences in their pIs and molecular masses. The separation is usually performed on immobilized pH gradient strips, followed by gradient polyacrylamide gels separating proteins with molecular masses between 5-200 kDa. For the first-dimensional separation the protein samples are usually applied near one end of the strip. Using total soluble protein extracts of the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, we found that simultaneous sample application at both the basic and the acidic ends of the strip resulted in detection of more and stronger protein spots in comparison with sample application at one end only. Because many proteins of an organism have similar pI and Mr values, an overlapping of protein spots is frequently observed in the second-dimensional separation. The soluble protein fraction of H. influenzae was further separated on gels of constant acrylamide concentration between 7.5% and 15.0%. We found that for proteins of molecular mass within certain ranges, the gels of homogeneous acrylamide concentration provided more efficient spot separation than the gradient gels. The observed improvements in spot resolution may be useful in the characterization of proteins from other organisms or cell lines.

Abstract
Isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradients (IPG), covering both analytical and preparative aspects, is here reviewed. An extensive introduction covers the development of the technique from its inception in 1982 to present day methodology, with particular emphasis on the development of computer programs able to calculate and optimize linear and nonlinear pH gradients, spanning as much as 9 pH units, from a mixture of as many as 10 different buffering ions and titrants. The unique resolving power of IPGs is illustrated with the resolution of fetal globin chains differing by an Ala/Gly substitution in residue 75, this bringing about a minute difference in pI value of only 0.001 pH units. IPG runs, performed under denaturing conditions, allow an excellent correlation between experimental and theoretical protein pIs, to the extent that outliers were found to be polypeptide chains which had undergone post-synthetic modifications. The IPG methodology allows easy interfacing with mass spectrometry, due to the fact that proteins eluted from an IPG gel are isoionic as well as isoelectric, and thus are not contaminated by any buffer ion. The review ends with an excursus on preparative aspects of IPGs: a novel apparatus, based on the principle of isoelectric, buffering membranes, allows pilot-scale purification of r-DNA proteins to extreme purity, with recovery in a liquid vein. Isoelectric membranes have a selectivity based on a continuous titration process, and thus act as isoelectric traps for individual protein species. This same preparative apparatus can be used as a novel immobilized enzyme reactor, with superior performance compared to conventional types of reactors.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that good agreement may be observed between computed and experimental isoelectric point (pI) values when proteins of known sequence are focused under denaturing conditions on immobilized pH gradient IPG slabs, at least in the pH range 4-7.5. Hence, discrepancies between expected and found in this experimental set-up may be reliably ascribed to some kind of post-transcriptional processing, or chemical modification, having taken place in the sample. This evaluation is made easier when the comparison is set between the pI of a parent molecule and that (or those) of one to several of its derivatives as resolved in a single experiment (for instance, as a spot row in two-dimensional maps); no previous knowledge is required in these cases about the amino acid composition of the primary structure. The effects on protein surface charge are discussed in this review mainly for two biologically relevant processes, glycosylation and phosphorylation. Then, the pI shifts are analysed for some protein modifications that may occur naturally but can also be artefactually elicited, such as NH2 terminus blocking, deamidation and thiol redox reactions. Finally, carboxymethylation and carbamylation are used to exemplify chemical treatments often applied in connection with electrophoretic techniques and involving charged residues. Procedures to be applied in order to verify whether a given modification has occurred, and often relying on the focusing of a treated specimen, are detailed in each section. Numerical examples on model proteins are also discussed. As an important field of application of the above concepts may be genetic engineering, an exhaustive bibliographic list dealing with pI evaluation and structural assessment on recombinant proteins is included.

Abstract
Some major improvements to a pH gradient simulator for isoelectric focusing in immobilized buffers are here described. They allow creation of graphs (giving the profiles of pH gradient, deviation from ideal shape, buffering power and ionic strength) with up to 200 increments (which, in a 1 pH unit span means mapping of pH intervals at barely 0.005 pH increments per step). In addition, for preparative purification protocols, utilizing multicompartment electrolyzers with isoelectric, buffering membranes, this modified program allows easy calculation of the precise pI value at any point along the pH gradient used for the analytical assessment of the pI values of the proteins to be purified. At the desired pH value, reached by moving the cursor along the pH gradient, a simple clicking of the mouse button allows the display of the instant Immobiline composition responsible for that pH value. The molarity ratio of the various Immobilines present at this precise point of the pH scale in fact gives the composition (with the accompanying value of buffering power and ionic strength) of the membrane to be utilized as a pH-stat in the preparative scale run. This is the only method that allows reproducible and valid scaling up from the analytical to the preparative scale.

Abstract
1. The higher molecular weight, (HMW, M(r) 140 kDa) acid phosphatase (AcPase) of the frog liver (Rana esculenta) was separated into enzymatically active components by isoelectric focusing in an immobilized pH gradient and their carbohydrate chains were analyzed by specific lectin binding after native blotting. 2. The lectin-binding patterns obtained with ConA, WGA, LcH and PNA as well as with WGA and PNA after desialylation indicate that the frog liver HMW AcPase contains predominantly N-linked complex and/or hybride type carbohydrate chains with terminal sialic acid and fucose residues; O-glycosylated enzyme components with free and sialic acid substituted Gal-GalNAc sequences were also detected.

Abstract
Extremely wide immobilized pH gradients, pH 2.5-11, for isoelectric separation of complex protein mixtures are described. These pH gradients are theoretically and practically the maximum that can be achieved at present with the available acrylamido buffers and titrants. Conditions are described for reducing conductivity and electroendosmosis in extreme pH ranges. Furthermore, new conditions are described for the separation of proteins in the second dimension. Using this protocol, nearly all the possible cellular products can be separated in one single two-dimensional map.

Abstract
While in the companion paper (Tonani, C. & Righetti, P. G., Electrophoresis 1991, 12, 1011-1021) we gave the general outline of our new computer program, immobilized pH gradients (IPG) simulator, able to simulate and optimize linear pH gradients for isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradients, in the present report we extend the application of such a program to: (i) convex exponential gradients, (ii) logarithmic and (iii) polynomial gradients. Such gradients are meant to give equal space to protein spots in complex protein mixtures (e.g., cell lysates, biological fluids) and follow the statistical distribution of protein pI values along the pH axis. They will prove of fundamental importance in two-dimensional maps, both because they optimize the spreading of spots in the two-dimensional plane and because of the excellent reproducibility of immobilized pH gradients. The following concave exponential recipes are given: pH 3-8, pH 3-9, pH 3-10, pH 3-11, pH 4-7, pH 4-8, pH 4-9, pH 4-10, pH 4-11, pH 5-8, pH 5-9, and pH 5-10, as well as the most extended pH 2.5-11 interval. Two interesting logarithmic gradients are described: pH 3-6 and pH 3-7 and one sigmoidal (derived with a polynomial of 5th degree): pH 3-11.

Abstract
A new computer program, called immobilized pH gradients (IPG) simulator, is proposed for calculating and optimizing any recipe for use in isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradients. Unlike our previous monoprotic electrolyte gradient simulation (MGS) and polyelectrolyte gradient simulation (PGS) programs, based on minimizing CV(beta), the present program has a target function the minimization of the quadratic moment around zero of the residuals (mu 2). With this algorithm it is possible to formulate IPG recipes which have deviations from linearity well below 1% of the given pH interval (a limit set with the previous MGS and PGS programs), in fact, as small as 0.1-0.2% (in pH units). The new simulator performs 2-3 times better than the previous ones in the pH 4-10 range, and is absolutely necessary when working outside this range, at extreme pH values, where CV(beta) cannot work against the buffering power of bulk water, thus generating pH recipes with huge deviations from linearity. In the latter cases, mu 2 performs 10 times better than CV(beta). When utilizing strong titrants for extended pH intervals, the "all or none" rule has been discovered: such titrants should always be used in tandem, since omission of one of the two at either the acidic or basic extremes produces strongly distorted pH profiles. Our new, most powerful simulator also contains equations for creating nonlinear gradients, notably: concave and convex exponentials and sigmoidal (see the companion paper: Righetti, P. G. and Tonani, C., Electrophoresis 1991, 12, 1021-1027).

Abstract
The unified treatment for computing the pH of complex mixtures of mono- and polyprotic buffers, including ampholytes, as utilized in the gradient simulation program PGS, is presented. Its ability to compute pH, buffering power and ionic strength is shown by discussing a few simulations. The problems arising in the automatic formulation of optimal mixtures are presented, as well as the merits and limits of several target functions utilized in such optimizations. It is shown that no universal target function exists and that a proper optimization method should account for the fact that more than one formulation is possible for a given pH range.

Abstract
Isoelectric membrane simulator (IMS) is a computer program meant for computation of pH, buffering power (beta), ionic strength (I) and dissociation degree (a) of a mixture of up to 3 buffering and 1 titrant Immobilines, for generating in a reproducible manner isoelectric membranes. Such membranes, of precise isoelectric point, are then used for large-scale protein purification by isoelectric focusing in multicompartment electrolyzers. IMS can be used, in a more general application, for titrating mixtures of buffers to a desired pH value. This versatile program is written in M.Q.BASIC rel. 2.5 and it runs on any IBM hardware or compatible machine supported by MS-DOS. An example of purification of superoxide dismutase in a multicompartment electrolyzer with a set of fixed pI membranes of widely differing composition is shown.

Abstract
1. The lower molecular weight, heterogeneous acid phosphatase (AcPase) from the frog liver (Rana esculenta) containing AcPase I, II, III and IV was separated into enzymatically active components by isoelectric focusing in an immobilized pH gradient. 2. The blotted enzyme bands were characterized by their different binding patterns obtained with the lectins concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), Lens culinaris hemagglutinin (LcH) and peanut agglutinin (PNA). 3. In situ neuraminidase treatment reduced the staining intensity of some WGA-bands and increased that of PNA-bands. 4. The finding that AcPases I, II, III and IV differ in their carbohydrate chain composition, together with previous results showing different bioactivities of AcPases III and IV, indicates a correlation between the glycosylation state of enzyme forms and their physiological action.

Abstract
In conventional isoelectric focusing in soluble, amphoteric buffers, it has been quite difficult to produce two-dimensional (2-D) separations in pH intervals greater than pH 4-8. In general more alkaline proteins were analyzed by non-equilibrium IEF in the first dimension. Even with the advent of immobilized pH gradients (IPG), separations could be extended to pH gradients not wider than pH 3-10, due to a lack of suitable buffers. Since more acidic and more alkaline acrylamido buffers have recently been synthesized, we have been able to optimize what is believed to be the widest possible immobilized pH gradient, a pH 2.5-11 span. We report here for the first time 2-D separations of total tissue lysates in such extended pH 2.5-11 gradients. It appears that, with the IPG technique, close to 100% of all possible cell products can be displayed in a single 2-D map.

Abstract
Up to the present time it has been impossible to perform two-dimensional (2-D) separations in very acidic immobilized pH gradients (IPG), due to the lack of suitable buffering acrylamido derivatives to be incorporated into the polyacrylamide matrix. The advent of the pK 3.1 buffer (2-acrylamido glycolic acid; Righetti et al., J. Biochem. Biophys. Methods 16, 1988, 185-192) allowed the formulation of such acidic gradients. We report here separations in IPG pH 2.8-5.0 intervals of polypeptide chains from total lysates of rat intestinal and liver cells and 30S and 50S ribosomal proteins from Halobacterium marismortui. Conditions are given for highly reproducible first and second dimension gels and for a proper silver staining of 2-D maps with practically no background deposition.

Abstract
Isoelectric focusing on carrier ampholyte-containing immobilized pH gradient gels was applied (i) to gels submerged in silicone oil on a Peltier cooled apparatus, (ii) to the separation of the higher molecular weight (HMW, Mr 140,000) and the lower molecular weight (LMW, Mr 38,000) acid phosphatases (AcPases) from frog livers. (i) Electrofocusing was conducted on gels submerged under silicone oil cooled and stirred on a Peltier-thermoregulated horizontal gel support plate. This procedure aimed at a) improving the temperature control of the gel by direct contact of coolant with the gel surface, and thus at being able to focus at the maximal field strength and consequently highest resolution; b) preventing evaporation from the gel and c) excluding atmospheric carbon dioxide. Silicone oil submersion did not abolish water loss from the gel into the electrolyte strips during isoelectric focusing, or a rippled gel surface. Absence of water exudation on the ripples noted previously by Atland [1] was observed. (ii) The electrofocusing of AcPases on immobilized pH gradients yielded patterns which remained stationary as a function of time, by contrast to previous analyses on carrier ampholyte generated pH gradients. The total number of enzymatically active components found in the enzyme preparations from different stages of purification and in the isolated HMW and LMW AcPases was 18. The HMW and LMW AcPases focused in characteristic pH ranges and exhibited qualitative and quantitative pattern differences. Their band patterns add up to that of a crude preparation containing both enzymes. Neither polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) at any nondenaturing pH, nor isoelectric focusing in carrier ampholytes with pattern changes due to the pH gradient drift were able to yield that result.
