New zwitterionic detergents improve the analysis of membrane proteins by two‐dimensional electrophoresis

Abstract: Severe quantitative loss of protein is often observed in high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of membrane proteins, while the resolution is usually not affected. To improve the solubility of proteins in this technique, we tested denaturing cocktails containing various detergents and chaotropes. Best results were obtained with a denaturing solution containing urea, thiourea, and zwitterionic detergents, synthesized for this purpose. Among the dozen detergents synthesized and tested, amidosulfobetaine… Show more

“…Overall, the effectiveness of each detergent can be easily observed by the number and abundance of spots revealed between the isoelectric points 4.5 to 9.5, and the molecular weight values within 17.9 and 88.1 kDa. Other studies have also shown the effectiveness of these sulfobetaines detergents for 2-DE analysis (4,6,12,15).…”

“…The solubility problems have been addressed, with varying success, by combining chaotropic agents, such as thiourea, urea, and guanidine hydrochloride, with detergents (sodium dodecyl sulfate, lithium dodecyl sulfate, Triton X-100, Nonidet P-40 and CHAPS) (4).…”

“…A GRAVY score is a single-value indication of the overall hydropathicity of a protein sequence based on the Kyte and Doolittle algorithms; the more positive the score, the more hydrophobic the overall sequence (Kyte and Doolittle, 1982). The addition of thiourea as a chaotropic agent, the advent of new nonionic sulfobetaine detergents, and the use of the non-charged reductant, tributylphosphine, have all been credited with allowing more hydrophobic proteins to enter twodimensional gels for separation and analysis (Chevallet et al, 1998;Rabilloud, 1998). To date, proteins with GRAVY scores of approximately ϩ0.25 to ϩ0.30 are considered to represent the upper limit of these two-dimensional gel solubility improvements (Herbert, 1999).…”

“…In particular, very small (Ͻ10 kD) and very large (Ͼ100 kD) proteins, basic proteins (pI Ͼ 10), and hydrophobic proteins (grand average of hydropathicity [GRAVY] Ͼ 0.2) are poorly resolved by this method (Chevallet et al, 1998;Herbert et al, 1998;Santoni et al, 1999Santoni et al, , 2000. Incremental improvements in chaotropic agents and nonionic detergents have improved the resolving power of classical denaturing twodimensional electrophoresis (Chevallet et al, 1998;Herbert et al, 1998). However, a substantial protein set will probably always be excluded due to the physical limitations of this approach.…”

“…The 2D-PAGE has other limitations, concerning the detection of low-abundance proteins, hydrophobic proteins, and proteins with extreme size and charge values (9,13,14). In particular, the analysis of integral membrane proteins (IMPs) remains a critical challenge, although new detergents have been designed to enhance membrane protein solubility for analysis by 2D-PAGE (15,16). …”
