title: Organellar protein complexes of Caco-2 human cells analyzed by two-dimensional blue native/SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry.
abstract: The complexome is essential for a better understanding of protein functions. In order to study protein complexes, an approach allowing the extraction and the analysis in native conditions is needed. Two-dimensional blue native/SDS-PAGE (2D BN/SDS-PAGE) technology is thus an interesting and powerful approach for this purpose. This report deals with the analysis and the identification of the organellar protein complexes of Caco-2 human cells using 2D BN/SDS-PAGE and HPLC-chip-MS. We identified 58 protein complexes (26 heteromultimeric and 32 homomultimeric complexes) and 4 monomeric proteins. Among them, 32 protein complexes were pointed out, providing insights into the function of previously uncharacterized human proteins.
