title: Resolution of Fusarium sporotrichioides Proteins by Two-Dimensional Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis and Identification by Sequence Homology Comparison in Protein Data Base.
abstract: Proteins from Fusarium sporotrichioides M-1-1, a T2-toxin-producing strain, were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. One thousand two hundred and forty-four protein spots were resolved and 103 protein spots were subjected to N-terminal sequencing. Fifty-eight protein spots were sequenced and 48 proteins were observed to have blocked N termini. Forty out of 58 sequenced proteins were identified by homology search against the PIR protein sequence data base and protein superfamily data base, while the residual 18 sequences were not identified. Twenty-seven of the N-terminal-blocked proteins were subjected to mild anhydrous hydrazine vapor deblocking. Twenty-four spots were not deblocked indicating the presence of acyl groups at the N termini, while 3 proteins were deblocked showing the blocked group to be pyrroglutamyl carboxylic acid residues. The results can provide a more global view of cellular genetic expression than any other technique. The created data may offer a unique opportunity to link information with DNA sequence data.
