Proteins can be identified by amino acid analysis and database matching, but it is often desirable to increase the confidence in identity through the use of other techniques. Here we describe a rapid protein identification method that uses Edman degradation to create a 3 or 4 amino acid N-terminal "sequence tag," following which proteins are subjected to amino acid analysis protein identification procedures. Edman degradation methods have been modified to take only 23 min per cycle, and rapid amino acid analysis techniques are used. The Edman degradation and amino acid analysis is done on a single PVDF membrane-bound protein sample. A computer database matching program is also presented which uses both amino acid composition and "sequence tag" data for protein identification. This method represents the most inexpensive, accurate, and rapid means of protein identification, which is ideal for the screening of proteomes separated by 2-D gel electrophoresis. The creation of N-terminal Edman degradation "sequence-tags" prior to peptide mass fingerprinting of samples should also be useful.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D016324 Sequence Tagged Sites Short tracts of DNA sequence that are used as landmarks in GENOME mapping. In most instances, 200 to 500 base pairs of sequence define a Sequence Tagged Site (STS) that is operationally unique in the human genome (i.e., can be specifically detected by the polymerase chain reaction in the presence of all other genomic sequences). The overwhelming advantage of STSs over mapping landmarks defined in other ways is that the means of testing for the presence of a particular STS can be completely described as information in a database.
