    Notes: A new version of the MRC-5 two-dimensional gel cellular protein database (Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1989, 10, 76-115) is presented. Gels were scanned with a Molecular Dynamics laser scanner and processed by the PDQUEST IITM software. A total of 1895 [35S]methionine-labeled cellular polypeptides (1323 with isoelectric focusing and 572 with nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis) are recorded in this database, containing quantitative and qualitative data on the relative abundance of cellular proteins synthesized by quiescent, proliferating and SV40 transformed MRC-5 fibroblasts. Of the 592 proteins quantitated so far, the levels of 138 were up-or down- regulated (51 and 87, respectively) by two times or more in the transformed cells as compared to their normal proliferating counterparts, while only 14 behaved similarly in quiescent cells. Seven MRC-5 SV40 proteins, including plastin and two interferon-induced proteins, were not detected in the master MRC-5 images. The identity of 36 of the transformation-sensitive proteins whose levels are up or down regulated by two times or more was determined and additional information can be transferred from the master transformed human epithelial amnion cells (AMA) database (Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1990, 11, 989-1071) for those polypeptides of known and unknown identity that have been matched to AMA polypeptides. As more information is gathered in this and other laboratories, including data on oncogene proteins and transcription factors, this comprehensive database will outline an integrated picture of the expression levels and properties of the thousands of protein components of organelles, pathways and cytoskeletal systems that may be directly or indirectly involved in properties associated with the transformed state.

    Notes: The master two-dimensional gel database of human AMA cells currently lists 3801 cellular and secreted proteins, of which 371 cellular polypeptides (306 IEF; 65 NEPHGE) were added to the master images during the last 10 months. These include: (i) very basic and acidic proteins that do not focus under normal running conditions and (ii) low-abundant proteins that can only be detected after prolonged gel exposure. Annotation categories updated in this version include “protein name”, “antibody against protein”, “cellular localization”, and “microsequenced proteins”. New entries include “human autoantigens” and “cDNAs”. For convenience we have included an alphabetical list of all known proteins recorded in this database. In the long run, the main goal of this database is to link protein and DNA sequencing and mapping information (Human Genome Program) and to provide an integrated picture of the expression levels and properties of the thousands of proteins that orchestrate various cellular functions both under physiological and abnormal conditions.

    Notes: A two-dimensional (2-D) gel database of cellular proteins from noncultured, unfractionated normal human epidermal keratinocytes has been established. A total of 2651 [35S]methionine-labeled cellular proteins (1868 isoelectric focusing, 783 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis) were resolved and recorded using computer-aided 2-D gel electrophoresis. The protein numbers in this database differ from those reported in an earlier version due to changes in the scanning hardware (Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1990, 11, 242-254). Annotation categories reported include: “protein name” (listing 207 known proteins in alphabetical order), “basal cell markers”, “differentiation markers”, “proteins highly up-regulated in psoriatic skin”, “microsequenced proteins” and “human autoantigens”. For reference, we have also included 2-D gel (isoelectric focusing) patterns of cultured normal and psoriatic keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts, dermal microvascular endothelial cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and sweat duct cells. The keratinocyte 2-D gel protein database will be updated yearly in the November issue of Electrophoresis.

    Notes: A highly reproducible, commercial and nonlinear, wide-range immobilized pH gradient (IPG) was used to generate two-dimensional (2-D) gel maps of [35S]methionine-labeled proteins from noncultured, unfractionated normal human epidermal keratinocytes. Forty one proteins, common to most human cell types and recorded in the human keratinocyte 2-D gel protein database were identified in the 2-D gel maps and their isoelectric points (pI) were determined using narrow-range IPGs. The latter established a pH scale that allowed comparisons between 2-D gel maps generated either with other IPGs in the first dimension or with different human protein samples. Of the 41 proteins identified, a subset of 18 was defined as suitable to evaluate the correlation between calculated and experimental pI values for polypeptides with known composition. The variance calculated for the discrepancies between calculated and experimental pI values for these proteins was 0.001 pH units. Comparison of the values by the t-test for dependent samples (paired test) gave a p-level of 0.49, indicating that there is no significant difference between the calculated and experimental pI values. The precision of the calculated values depended on the buffer capacity of the proteins, and on average, it improved with increased buffer capacity. As shown here, the widely available information on protein sequences cannot, a priori, be assumed to be sufficient for calculating pI values because post-translational modifications, in particular N-terminal blockage, pose a major problem. Of the 36 proteins analyzed in this study, 18-20 were found to be N-terminally blocked and of these only 6 were indicated as such in databases. The probability of N-terminal blockage depended on the nature of the N-terminal group. Twenty six of the preteins had either M, S or A as N-terminal amino acids and of these 17-19 were blocked. Only 1 in 10 proteins containing other N-terminal groups were blocked.

    Notes: The master two-dimensional gel database of human keratinocytes currently lists 2980 cellular proteins (2098 isoelectric focusing, IEF; and 882 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis, NEPHGE) many of which correspond to posttranslational modifications. About 20% of all recorded proteins have been identified (protein name, organelle components, etc.) and they are listed in alphabetical order together with their Mr, pI, cellular localization and credit to the investigator(s) that aided in the identification. Also, we have listed 145 microsequenced proteins that are recorded in this database. As an aid in localizing the polypeptides we have included blow-ups of the master images (IEF, NEPHGE) displaying all the protein numbers. In the long run, the master keratinocyte database is expected to link protein and DNA sequencing and mapping information (Human Genome Program) and to provide an integrated picture of the expression levels and properties of the thousands of proteins that orchestrate various keratinocyte functions both in health and disease.

    Notes: The master two-dimensional gel database of human keratinocytes currently lists 3038 cellular proteins (2127 isoelectric focusing, IEF; and 911 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis, NEPHGE) many of which correspond to post-translational modifications. 763 proteins have been identified (protein, name, organelle components, etc.) and they are listed both in alphabetical order and with increasing SSP number, together with their Mr, pI, cellular localization and credit to the investigator(s) that aided in the identification. Furthermore we have listed 176 proteins that have been microsequenced so far and that are recorded in this database. We also include synthetic images depicting some interesting sets of proteins identified so far; these include components of hnRNP's, proteasomes or prosomes, ribosomes, as well as assorted organelle markers, GTP-binding proteins, calcium binding proteins, stress proteins, autoantigens, differentiation markers and psoriasis upregulated proteins. The aim of the comprehensive database is to gather, through a systematic study of keratinocytes, qualitative and quantitative information on proteins and their genes that may allow us to identify abnormal patterns of gene expression and ultimately to pinpoint signaling pathways and components affected in various skin diseases, cancer included.

    Notes: A total of 3430 polypeptides (2592 cellular; 838 secreted) from transformed human amnion cells (AMA) labeled with [35S]methionine were separated and recorded using computer-aided two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. A master 2-D gel database of cellular protein information that includes both qualitative and quantitative annotations has been established. The protein numbers in this database differ from those reported in an earlier version (Celis et al. Leukemia 1988,2, 561-602) as a result of changes in the scanning hardware. The reported information includes: percentage of total radioactivity recovered from the gels (based on quantitations of polypeptides labeled with a mixture of 16 14C-amino acids), protein name (including credit to investigators that aided identification), antibody against protein, cellular localization, (nuclear, 40S hnRNP, 20S snRNP U5, proteasomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi, ribosomes, intermediate filaments, microfilaments and microtubules), levels in fetal human tissues, partial protein sequences (containing information on 48 human proteins microsequenced so far), cell cycle-regulated proteins, proteins sensitive to interferons α, β, and γ, heat shock proteins, annexins and phosphorylated proteins. The results presented should be considered as the initial phase of a joint effort between our laboratories to undertake a general and systematic analysis of human proteins. Using this integrated approach it will be possible to identify phenotype-specific proteins, to microsequence them and store the information in the database, to identify the corresponding genes, to search for homology with previously characterized proteins and to study the function of groups of proteins (pathways, organelles, etc.) that exhibit interesting regulatory properties. In particular, the 2-D gel protein database may become increasingly important in view of the concerted effort to map and sequence the entire human genome.

    Notes: The master two-dimensional (2-D) gel database of human keratinocytes currently lists 3087 cellular proteins (2168 isoelectric focusing, IEF; and 919 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis, NEPHGE), many of which correspond to posttranslational modifications. 890 polypeptides have been identified (protein name, organelle components, etc.) using one or a combination of procedures that include (i) comigration with known human proteins, (ii) 2-D gel immunoblotting using specific antibodies (iii) microsequencing of Coomassie Brilliant Blue stained proteins, (iv) mass spectrometry and (v) vaccinia virus expression of full length cDNAs. These are listed both in alphabetical order and with increasing SSP number, together with their Mr, pI, cellular localization and credit to the investigator(s) that aided in the identification. Furthermore, we list 239 microsequenced proteins recorded in the database. We also report a database of proteins recovered from the medium of noncultured, unfractionated keratinocytes. This database lists 398 polypeptides (309 IEF; 89 NEPHGE) of which 76 have been identified. The aim of the comprehensive databases is to gather, through a systematic study of keratinocytes, qualitative and quantitative information on proteins and their genes that may allow us to identify abnormal patterns of gene expression and, ultimately, to pinpoint signaling pathways and components affected in various skin diseases, cancer included.

    Notes: A qualitative and quantitative two-dimensional (2-D) gel database approach has been used to identify individual and groups of proteins that are differentially regulated in simian virus 40 (SV40) transformed human keratinocytes (K14). Five hundred and sixty [35S]methionine-labeled proteins (462 isoelectric focusing, IEF; 98 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis, NEPHGE), out of the 3038 recorded in the master keratinocyte database, were excised from dry, silver-stained gels of normal proliferating primary keratinocytes and K14 cells and the radioactivity was determined by liquid scintillation counting. Two hundred and thirty five proteins were found to be either up- (177) or down-regulated (58) in the transformed cells by 50% or more, and of these, 115 corresponded to known proteins in the keratinocyte database (J. E. Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1993, 14, 1091-1198). The lowest abundancy acidic protein quantitated was present in about 60000 molecules per cell, assuming a value of 108 molecules per cell for total actin. The results identified individual, and groups of functionally related proteins that are differentially regulated in K14 keratinocytes and that play a role in a variety of cellular activities that include general metabolism, the cytoskeleton, DNA replication and cell proliferation, transcription and translation, protein folding, assembly, repair and turnover, membrane traffic, signal transduction, and differentiation. In addition, the results revealed several transformation sensitive proteins of unknown identity in the database as well as known proteins of yet undefined functions. Within the latter group, members of the S100 protein family - whose genes are clustered on human chromosome 1q21 - were among the highest down-regulated proteins in K14 keratinocytes. Visual inspection of films exposed for different periods of time revealed only one new protein in the transformed K14 keratinocytes and this corresponded to keratin 18, a cytokeratin expressed mainly by simple epithelia. Besides providing with the first global overview of the functional changes associated with the transformed phenotype of human keratinocytes, the data strengthened previous evidence indicating that transformation results in the abnormal expression of normal genes rather than in the expression of new ones.
