Abstract
Immunostaining of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) protein species on two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) gels with enhanced sensitivity yields 59 spots reacting with anti-Hsp27 antibodies. Recombinant Hsp27 exists in 2-DE as two major protein species which comigrate in the human myocardial pattern with Hsp27 spots C754 and D899 as defined in the heart high-performance 2-DE database (http://www.mdc-berlin.de/∼emu/heart/). Preparative electrophoresis of human myocardial proteins and analysis of the enriched mass range 20–30 kDa by 2-DE revealed eight protein spots (C438, C582, C658, C697, C754, C595, C750) from the human myocardial database and a new spot not previously detected on silver-stained gels. These spots were identified as Hsp27 protein species by enzymatic in-gel-digestion and analysis by matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization (MALDI) peptide mass fingerprinting and, in part, MALDI-post source decay sequencing of single fragments. Possible post-translational modifications were investigated: immunostaining tests with anti-phospho-serine/-threonine/-tyrosine antibodies, although positive for other myocardial proteins, were negative for presumed Hsp27 protein species; likewise, periodate-glycostaining assays and biotinylation screening did not detect modifications in the investigated Hsp27 protein species.Keywords
