Proteomic Analysis of Secreted Vesicle Proteins from the Plant Cells

A working pipeline for proteomic analysis of secreted vesicle proteins from the plant cells has been developed using urea and mass spectrometry-compatible detergent RapiGest SF, where vesicles could be efficiently lysed and membrane-bound proteins could be efficiently dissolved and digested. The vesicle lysis and the protein digestion procedures are performed within one tube to minimize the protein loss. The protein digest is analyzed using LC-MS/MS after desalting with an SPE spin column.
