Example

Example  1: As an overexpressed protein through proteome analysis Fumarize  selection

In this example, gene expression of coryneform bacteria was analyzed using proteomics techniques. During the log phase, initial stagnation, and stagnation phases, Corynebacterium ammonia genes wild (ATCC 6872) and CJHB100 (KCCM-10330) were incubated in a medium containing crude hydrolyzate (50% glucose + 50% fructose) as a carbon source. Cell extracts were obtained, and proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis under the following conditions.

First, each sample was diluted with 6M urea, 2M thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 0.4% DTT to a total volume of 350 μl, then 7 μl IPG buffer, 3 μl 1% bromophenol blue (BPB) After addition of these samples were placed on a rehydration tray with Immobiline pH gradient Drystrip ^™ and 2 ml of covering fluid was added to prevent vaporization of the sample and crystallization of urea and dehydrated at room temperature for approximately 24 hours. The dehydrated gel was then conditioned at 8000 V for 1 hour at 0-100 V, 1 hour at 300 V, 1 hour at 600 V, and approximately 43-97 kVhr (pH 4-7: 43.4 kVhr, pH 4.5 -5.5, pH 5.5-6.7: 97 kVhr), isoelectric focusing was performed. Each strip was then equilibrated for 15 minutes in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 6M urea, 2% SDS, 20% glycerol, 2.5% acrylamide and 5 mM TBP. After strip equilibration was complete, each strip was placed on a two-dimensional gel and sutured with SDS containing 0.5% low melting agarose and 0.001% BPB and subjected to electrophoresis at 100 V for about 19 hours.

After electrophoresis, the gel was fixed with 45% methanol and 5% acetic acid, and the acetic acid was washed with distilled water for 1 hour. After sensitization with 0.02% sodium thiosulfate for 2 minutes and washing twice with distilled water for 1 minute, the gel was reacted with 0.1% silver nitrate for 20 minutes and then again with distilled water. After developing 2% (w / v) sodium carbonate and 0.04% (v / v) formaldehyde to stop the reaction with 1% acetic acid when a protein spot of the desired strength appears, the gel is washed with distilled water. After storage in a sealed plastic bag, it was stored at 4 ℃. In the case of Coomassie staining, the gel was taken out, fixed with 30% methanol and 10% acetic acid for 1 hour, washed briefly with distilled water, and then stained with colloidal Coomassie brilliance G250 for 24 hours, 10% methanol and 7% acetic acid. Destained for 4 hours.

Peptide extraction from protein spots isolated by electrophoresis was modified by Shevchenko et al. (Shevchenko et al. Anal. Chem., 68 (5), 850-8, 1996). Protein spots were removed from the gel, destained in 120 μl of 30 mM potassium ferricyanide and 100 mM sodium thiosulfate 1: 1 mixture, washed three times with distilled water three times for 15 minutes, and then 120 μl of 50% acetonitrile / 25. Washed with mM ammonium bicarbonate, pH 7.8 for 10 minutes. The reaction was carried out with 50 μl of 100% acetonitrile until it became white for about 5 minutes, and dried using a vacuum dryer Speed Vac.

Protein spots for mass spectrometry were obtained from the gel, washed with 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate, pH 7.8, 50% acetonitrile solution and reacted at 37 ° C. until no color was obtained. Add 50 μl of 100% acetonitrile and react for about 5 minutes until the gel turns white, dry using Speed Vac, and add 10 μl of 0.02 μg / μl trypsin to each gel for 45 minutes in ice. After the reaction, 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate buffer, pH 7.8 was added thereto, and the reaction was carried out at 37 ° C for 12-14 hours. Then, the peptide was extracted by sonication three times for 10 minutes in 10 μl 0.5% TFA, 50% acetonitrile to facilitate the extraction of the peptide.

The extracted peptides were analyzed using NSI MS / MS under the following conditions. The HPLC system used an Agilient 1100 series and was used in conjunction with a Finnigan LCQ DECA ion-trap mass spectrometer (ThermoQuest, San Jose, Calif.) Equipped with a nano spray ionization source. A C18 microprobe reversed phase column was used for separation on the LC phase, and a linear gradient system consisting of 0.1% formic acid with solvent A, 90% (v / v) acetonitrile, 0.1% aqueous formic acid (flow rate 1 μl / min) Using was measured based on the following NSI standards. Spray voltage, 1.8 kV; Capillary temperature, 200 ° C .; Capillary voltage, 34 V; Tube lens offset, 40 V; The former and the amplifier were used at -60V. All measurements were collected in setroid mode after three measurements and after a full MS scan of 400-2000 Da, the threshold values were fixed at 1 x 105 counts to isolate the most powerful ions into a high resolution zoom scan. Then again collision-induced dissociation (CID) MS / MS was performed. Sequences of uninterpreted CID spectra were identified using TurboQuest ^™ software from Thermo Finnigan. SEQUEST search results were confirmed by cross correlation and ΔCn (delta standardized correlation). Identification and identification of amino acid sequences of peptides analyzed in this manner were carried out using de novo sequencing using Applied Biosystems' Q-star Pulsar LC MS / MS using software provided by Applied Biosystems. .

Genetic information of the overexpressed protein selected by the above method was analyzed based on chromosome sequence information (NCBI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) to select fumarases. 1 is a graph showing the results of the analysis of the fumarase expression of Corynebacterium ammonia genes wild strain (ATCC 6872) and Corynebacterium ammonia genes CJHB100 (KCCM-10330) by proteome analysis.
