A comparison has been made of published techniques for the resolution of rat liver microsomal proteins by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The method of Kaderbhai and Freedman (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 601 (1980) 21-20) gives good resolution of acidic proteins but excludes hydrophobic integral membrane proteins of pI greater than 7, including cytochrome P-450 apoproteins. The method of Vlasuk and Walz (Anal. Biochem. 105 (1980) 112-120) gives good resolution of proteins of pI 5-8, including cytochromes P-450, but fails to resolve a major acidic protein of pI less than 5. Isoelectric focusing of microsomal proteins is improved by the use of high concentrations of urea and low concentrations of sample proteins. Zwitterionic detergents of the general formula R . N+(CH3)2 . CH2CH2CH2SO3- are effective in solubilizing microsomal proteins, either alone or in presence of non-ionic detergent; compounds with a long alkyl chain (C14 or C16) are most effective. Isoelectric focusing of microsomal proteins solubilized by zwitterionic detergents did not give good resolution, probably because of incomplete dissociation and denaturation of the proteins. These detergents could not be used in the presence of high concentrations of urea. Although no single method of two-dimensional electrophoresis gives complete resolution of the whole range of microsomal proteins, conditions can be optimized for specific sets of proteins of interest. The technique can be used to monitor differences in microsomal composition between rat strains, or following induction, and for a variety of other studies.
