The Arabidopsis mitochondrial proteome project (1996-2004)

More recent data can be found at gelmap.de

An Arabidopsis thaliana mitochondrial proteome project was started for a comprehensive investigation of mitochondrial functions in plants. As a first step the proteome of mitochondria isolated from suspension cell cultures was characterized by high resolution 2D gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Currently the proteomes of selected Arabidopsis knock-out mutants concerning nuclear genes of mitochondrial proteins are under investigation in our laboratory.

Two-dimensional resolution of the mitochondrial proteome from Arabidopsis thaliana by Blue-native / Tricine SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Eubel et al. 2003, Plant Physiol. 133, 274-286). Arrows indicate identified proteins (a list of identified proteins is given below).

Identities of the separated protein complexes (from left to right): Supercomplex of NADH dehydrogenase and dimeric cytochrome c reductase (~ 1500 kDa), dimeric F0F1 ATP synthase (~ 1100 kDa), NADH dehydrogenase (~ 1000 kDa), HSP60 complex (~ 750 kDa), F0F1 ATP synthase complex (~ 580 kDa), dimeric cytochrome c reductase (~ 480 kDa), cytochrome c oxidase (300 and 220 kDa) and succinat dehydrogenase (150 kDa).
