Human Genome Project
• Launched 1990 took 13 years• Estimated 100,000 human genes would be
discovered• Only 20,000-25,000 genes were needed.• Not much more than a worm
![Page 3: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Proteins
• Genes encode proteins• Proteins determine an organism’s form,
function and phenotype• Proteins reflect changes in gene pool• Variations in protein profiles reflect
physiological adaptation to different environments
• Favorable – pass throughu
![Page 4: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Evolution
• Humans have large genomes, 3 billion base pairs
• Worms have 100 million base pairs• Humans very complex• Single gene can encode multiple proteins with
very different functions• Accomplished by using a variety of DNA, RNA
and protein modification tools
![Page 5: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Modification Tools

Proteomics Defined
• Study of the function, structure and interaction of proteins with each other and their environment
• Aims to completely describe all proteins in an organism, cell or under specific environmental conditions.
• Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) is an international attempt to catalog human proteins and their functions.
![Page 7: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Proteome
• Collection of proteins that comprise a cell, tissue or organism.
• Differ from cell to cell, tissue to tissue and organism to organism.
• Constantly changing through biochemical and environmental interactions.
• Radically different protein expression in different cells and tissues and expression changes through out live and environment.
![Page 8: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Antibodies
• Key proteins found in all animal immune systems.
• Generated to detect foreign invaders and tag them for destruction.
• Due to specificity for target makes them ideal for diagnostic tests.
• Immunodetection techniques widely used in proteomics research.
![Page 9: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Western Blotting

![Page 11: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hypothesis
• Proteins can be indicators of genetic and evolutionary relatedness
• Myosin major muscle protein essential for locomotion and survival in all animals.
• Essential structure and function of myosin has remained stable or “conserved” in all animals over time.
![Page 12: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Process
• Protein gel electrophoresis and western blotting will be used to specifically identify a subunit of a myosin light chain from the many thousands of proteins comprising the muscle tissue of different fish.
• Compare myosin light chains of different species for variation, commonality and evolutionary divergences.
![Page 13: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conservation
• Mutation-> Variation -> Specialization -> Speciation -> Evolution
• Myosin is a protein essential for fight or flight, mutation affection function would decrease survival ability.
• DNA -> RNA -> Protein -> Trait -> Evolution• High degree of myosin conservation and stability
across the animal kingdom means that antibody against myosin protein in chickens will recognize myosin in trout.

Interactions
• All interactions occurring at primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary level produce helices, pleated sheets and other 3D characteristics of biologically active proteins.
• Protein structure must be disrupted or denatured to accurately separate proteins by size.
![Page 20: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

cells contains detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and strong reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT)
![Page 21: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sample Prep
• SDS coats proteins with negative charge.• DTT breaks disulfide bridges that contribute to
secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure.• SDS and DTT contained in lysis buffer
(Laemmli buffer)• Heating to 95C further denatures proteins.• Once extraction is complete proteins
uniformly coated with SDS carry equivalent negative charge density.
![Page 22: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sample Prep
• SDS-PAGE electrophoresis used to separate protein subunits or polypeptides based on size.
• Laemmli contains Tris – a buffer that maintains a constant pH, glycerol to add density to samples so they sin in wells when loaded and tracking dye, Bromophenol Blue, to help visualize sample during loading and allow for tracking of protein migration during electrophoresis.
![Page 23: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Electrophoresis
• Proteins migrate through gel matrix based on size.
• Smaller peptides move more rapidly towards positive electrode.
• Larger take longer.• Denatured (linear) peptides can be more
readily analyzed via gel electrophoresis than large 3D complexes of proteins.

Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis
• PAGE used to separate proteins using electric current.
• Negatively charged proteins migrate through gel towards positively charged anode.
• PAGE used to separate very small DNA fragments (<500bp) for DNA sequencing or PCR analysis.
• Agarose used to separate very large proteins.
![Page 25: Proteomics Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB. Human Genome Project Launched 1990 took 13 years Estimated 100,000 human genes would be discovered Only 20,000-25,000](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e6a5503460f94b67566/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PAGE

PAGE
• Heat, ionic detergent and reducing agent completely disrupt the structures of proteins and protein complexes.
• Results in linear chains of amino acids.• These molecules snake through the gel at
rates proportional to their molecular masses.• Glycine in the buffer provides ions to transmit
current, SDS maintains denaturation of proteins.

PAGE
• Coomassie protein stain based on colloidal suspension.
• Once colloidal dye particles are near proteins in gel, dye is removed from colloids by nearby proteins due to high affinity of dye for proteins.
• If time permits wash gel 3x with DI water for 5 minutes before staining.
• Optimal staining is 1 hour with gentle shaking
