Estimating Total Quantitative Protein Content in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and HeLa Cells

Abstract: The continuous improvement of proteomic techniques, most notably mass spectrometry, has generated quantified proteomes of many organisms with unprecedented depth and accuracy. However, there is still a significant discrepancy in the reported numbers of total protein molecules per specific cell type. In this article, we explore the results of proteomic studies of Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and HeLa cells in terms of total protein copy numbers per cell. We observe up to a ten-fold difference bet… Show more

“…Interestingly, in shorter gradient times the impact of window size on %CV is less pronounced, particularly with the 11-minute gradient where there is little difference in the two window sizes, and in general shorter gradients have tighter CV distributions. For HeLa, a 45-minute gradient covers approximately 90% of the expressed proteome, 16 while an 8-minute gradient can deliver 78% as many hits in less than 1/5 of the time. In terms of copy numbers per cell, this level of coverage can observe proteins at ~100 copies, with the lowest observed protein at an estimated 13 copies per cell (supplementary figure 1).…”

“…55 The system was able to load 40% of the available peptide material in each sample vial for each measurement, corresponding to the injection of 0.1−10 ng of the HeLa cell digest. If we assume each HeLa cell contains roughly 250 pg proteins, 56,57 the mass of available peptide material in each sample vial corresponds to roughly 1−100 cells. The mass of injected peptides equals that in only 0.4−40 cells.…”

“…Such a feature would be unexpected for a strategy I podovirus that depends on an OM protein for infection. The NGR receptor is present in small amounts on the cell surface because only about 45 copies of the NfrA protein (equal to five to six complexes) are present per cell [84]. At the same time, this polysaccharide is likely to be conserved among many E. coli strains, similar to enterobacterial common antigen (ECA).…”
