Supported by: HURO/0901/069/2.3.1 HU-RO-DOCS Electrophoresis Western blotting ANIKO KELLER-PINTER MD PhD LUCA MENDLER MD PhD Electrophoresis Principles: • an analytical method based on movement of charged particles (proteins, DNA etc.) under the influence of an electric field • velocity of a particle depends on the: a) size, shape and charge b) applied voltage Classification: I. Gel electrophoresis - agarose or polyacrylamide gels - 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D - protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA/RNA II. Capillary electrophoresis III. Microchip electrophoresis I. Protein gel electrophoresis- general • agarose or polyacrylamide gels • 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D • protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA Large molecule, small charge slow migration Small molecule, high charge fast migration migration Separation I. Protein gel electrophoresis- horizontal • agarose or polyacrylamide gels • 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D • protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA The figure was found at http://www.mun.ca/biology/desmid/brian/BIOL2250/Week_Three/electro4.jpg I. Protein gel electrophoresis- vertical • agarose or polyacrylamide gels • 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D • protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA The figure was found at http://fig.cox.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/protein/page.jpg I. Protein gel electrophoresis- Native • agarose or polyacrylamide gels • 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D • protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA Principle: • Separates folded proteins and protein complexes by charge, size and shape • Electrophoretic migration occurs because most proteins carry a net negative charge in alkaline running buffers Useful for: 1. Examining protein-protein interactions 2. Detecting protein isoforms I. Protein gel electrophoresis- Urea • agarose or polyacrylamide gels • 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D • protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA • Separates denatured proteins by size and charge • An useful technique to study protein modifications migration • • • agarose or polyacrylamide gels 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA SDS: Sodium dodecyl sulfate I. Gel electrophoresis -SDS-PAGE PAGE: Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis • As a detergent SDS destroy secondary, tertiary and quarternary structrure DENATURING electrophoresis • Usually, a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) is also added to cleave protein disulfide bonds SDS protein rod shaped protein • Due to high density of binding of SDS to proteins, the ratio size/charge is nearly the same for many SDS denatured proteins proteins are separated only by size migration I. Protein gel electrophoresisTwo dimensional (2D) • agarose or polyacrylamide gels • 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D • protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA • The first dimension separates proteins according to their native isoelectric point using isoelectric focusing (IEF). • The second dimension separates by mass using ordinary SDS-PAGE. • 2D PAGE provides the highest resolution for protein analysis and is an important technique in proteomic research, where resolution of thousands of proteins on a single gel is sometimes necessary I. Protein gel electrophoresisTwo dimensional (2D) • agarose or polyacrylamide gels • 1D (vertical / horizontal) or 2D • protein (native / urea / SDS) or DNA Haemophilus influenzae cell proteins separated by 2D gel electrophoresis. The basic proteins are to the right of the gel and the acidic proteins to the left. High molecular weight proteins are to the top of the gel. (Annenberg Media, Rediscovering Biology) I.
