Proteomics
“PROTEin complement
expressed by a genOME”

a cell or organism
Includes any PTMs, cellular
localization, functions, and
interactions

Why?

(Pubmed data)
Plant cells are enclosed within a rigid
cell wall
Cellulose microfibrils, an electron
microscope view
Phospholipids of the plasma
membrane are amphipathic,
containing both a polar
(hydrophilic) head and a
nonpolar (hydrophobic) tail.

Sample preparation considerations
Compatible with subsequent steps
leading to protein identification by MS.
Extraction of proteins from a cell,
tissue or organelle should be as
complete as possible.
Maximum no. of proteins in minimum
no. of biochemical steps and minimum
time.

Grinding methods
Step 1: Disruption of cell walls by grinding
Step 1+2: mechanical disruption and
homogenization in extraction buffer
Grind sample into a fine powder to
shear cell walls and membranes
Step 2: Lysis of cells in extraction buffer
Mix thoroughly with extraction
buffer to dissolve cell membranes
and inhibit nuclease activity
11/43
A homogenizer allows cells to be
mechanically disrupted within the
extraction buffer
Crude lysate
Grinding methods considerations
Disruption of cell walls by grinding
Localized heating- leading to protein
denaturation and aggregation.
Pre-chill equipment and
samples on ice at all times.
Reproducibility.
Cells disrupt at different times.

large diversity of physico-chemical
properties.

Proteomics of cytosol
Physically disrupt the plant cell wall but to
maintain organelle integrity.

disruption of protoplasts.
Differential centrifugation.

organelles.

Proteomics of nucleus
Optimal nuclear preparations consist of
homogenous membrane-bound forms with
intact nucleoli.
Contamination - DAPI staining.
The nuclear proteins -high salt buffers.
The enrichment for the nuclear-resident
proteins-histone as marker.
Further purity-antibodies directed against
marker proteins for other cell
compartments.

Proteomics of mitochondria
The majority of mitochondrial proteins encoded by the
nucleus and synthesized as precursors in the cytosol before
being targeted to mitochondria.
Low abundance proteins identification is a challenge but
they play a very important role.

Most proteins exist as complexes.
These macromolecular complexes
should be purified with out losing
their confirmations.
