I ntroduction Genomics Transcriptomics Proteomics Metabolomics DNA RNA PROTIEN METABOLITE Transcription Translation Enzymatic action
Proteomics The name protein is derived from the Greek term proteios meaning the first rank was used for the first time by Berzelius in 1838 The term “proteome” originates from the words protein and genome , it was coined by Wilkins and colleagues in 1996
Proteomics Definition Proteomics is the total protein content of a cell or that of an organism . It represents the entire collection of proteins encoded by the genome in an organism . Proteomics is the understanding of the structure, function, and interactions of the entire protein content of an organism, tissue, cell or fluid.
Proteomics
Methods Separation of proteins Staining and digestion of proteins Identification of protein
Seperation Methods Proteomic technologies Conventional techniques Chromatographic based techniques Ion exchange chromatography Size exclusion chromatography Affinity chromatography ELISA Western blotting Advance techniques Protien microarray Analytical protein microarray Functional protein microarray Reverse phase protein microarray Gel based approaches Mass spectrometry Edman sequencing Quantitative techniques ICAT- Isotope coded affinity tag based protein profiling SILAC-Stable Isotope Labeling by/with Amino acids in Cell culture iTRAC - Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation High throughput techniques X-ray chromatography NMR spectroscopy
Gel based separation technique 2 dimensional gel electrophoresis 2D-GE Available since 1975 Separates complex protein mixtures based on isoelectric point and molecular weight The separated proteins are visualized by staining with colloidal Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB), or silver nitrate Higher resolution separation can be achieved by using several 2D-GE with overlapping narrow pH gradients After staining gel can be scanned and subject to computer based analysis of protein
Gel based separation technique 2D-GE The two dimension (2-D) First dimension is based on isoelectric point known as isoelectric focusing(IEF) Second dimension molecules are then separated at 90 degrees from the first electropherogram according to molecular mass
Gel based separation technique 2D-GE Advantages Relatively low cost Easy to use Automation possible Disadvantage N ot a high-throughput technique N ot suitable for the separation of membrane proteins I ts sensitivity is not satisfactory for low-abundance proteins
Gel based separation technique 2D-GE Other improved modification Quantitative proteomic techniques such as difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) Uses fluorescent cyanine series of dyes and allows relative quantitative analyses of up to three samples sodium dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE )
Non gel based separation technique U sed in detecting protein/structure not accessible using 2D-GE, such as the detection of low-abundant or hydrophobic (membrane) proteins Relies on separation 2D peptides rather than protein then characterization using MS Liquid chromatographic methods are commonly used Protein sample are degraded to smaller units by enzyme like trypsin B ased on two or more biophysical characteristics such as surface charge (ion exchange chromatography), hydrophobicity (hydrophobic interaction chromatography), or affinity to particular compounds; affinity , dye ligand, reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC )
Non gel based separation technique 2D-LC Protein sample is reduced, alkylated, and digested in solution Peptide mixture is fractionated through 2D-LC using a strong cation exchange column T he derived fractions are further separated, on the base of hydrophobicity M ultidimensional protein identification technology (MUDPIT ) is an application of it
Non gel based separation technique Another modification of this test is combined fractional diagonal chromatography (COFRADIC ) Advantages of non gel based methods H igh-throughput capabilities P ossibility of full automation D irect integration with MS H igher sensitivity S maller amount of starting material needed
Mass spectrometry Used for analysis of proteins and peptides since 1989 Main components of mass spectrometer Ion source (the device that brings the analytes into gas phase and ionises them ) One or more mass analysers - measures the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of the ionised analytes A detector , which registers the number of ions at each m/z value
Mass spectrometry In ESI (electron spray ionization) ions are formed from a liquid solution, while in MALDI a laser pulse induces the sample to sublimate out of a dry crystalline matrix. Gaseous ions formed by MALDI and ESI are accelerated into the mass analyser by an electric potential the m/z ratios are determined by the motion of the ions through the mass analyser . The detector converts the stream of ions into a voltage that is interpreted by a computer and converted to a mass spectrum
Mass spectrometry Types of MS Time-of-flight (TOF), Quadrupole (Q), triple quadrupole or linear ion trap (LIT), ion trap (IT), Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) Advantages H ighly sensitive, requiring only 10-15 femtomoles of peptides as starting materials, and extremely accurate
Protein Microarrays Basic principle is capture of specific proteins at specific sites The chips consist of a glass or plastic surface spotted with a checkerboard-like grid of molecules that captures the protein Micro-volumes of reagents and samples is delivered to the chip, where bound molecules are detected through a secondary antibody tagged with a fluorescent marker or directly Scanners are used to read the chips D edicated software is used to analyse and interpret the data
Protein Microarrays

Proteomic – work flow example
Method - RBCs stored for 7 and 42 days were used. After extraction of membrane proteins with a deoxycholate containing buffer, band 3 complexes were co-immunoprecipitated on magnetic beads coated with two anti-band 3 antibodies. Both total membrane protein extracts and eluates (containing band 3 complexes) were separated on SDS-PAGE, proteins were ingel digested and analyzed by LC-MS/MS , adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL ), a-adducin and flotillin-2 were further quantified using western blots. Results- ADSL abundance tended to increase during storage in both total membrane protein and band 3 complexes, whereas a-adducin mainly tended to stay onto the membrane extract. Flotillin-2 was equivalently present in total membrane proteins whereas it clearly co-immunoprecipitated with band 3 complexes during storage
