Proteomics techniques used to identify proteins
• Obtain cell lysates
• Run two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) for each sample (in triplicates)
• Compare the gels and identify over-expressed and/or under-expressed proteins compared to protein spots from control treatment
• Identify those proteins (for each spot) by:– Cutting out the gel spot and trypsinizing the protein– Run LS/MS/MS on LTQ XL– Identify proteins by matching the tryptic peptides to
theoretical fragments (Protein Database search)

Vehicle 2.5 mM CEES
Proteomics Study of CEES toxicity in human keratinocytes: EpiDerm tissues were exposed to vehicle or 2.5 mM CEES for 18 h. Cell lysates were separated by 2D gel electrophoresis, Coomassie blue-stained and photographed (three gels per sample). Average differences in protein expression were quantified with Dymension-2 Software. The proteins differentially expressed after CEES exposure are marked with red circles. Protein spots were excised from the gel, destained, trypsinized, and subjected to LC/MS/MS analysis.

The protein identified belong to the 14-3-3 family of regulatory proteins.
The 14-3-3 proteins (zeta/delta, theta, and sigma) have same MW = 28 kDa and pI = 4.5.

Conclusion:
LC/MS/MS analysis and UniProt database search with “rigorous” filtering of the search results allow identification of three 14-3-3 regulatory proteins (zeta, theta, and sigma).
