%X Because many membrane-associated proteins represent potential drug targets, diagnostic probes, and
components of vaccines, we have chosen to study the membrane proteins of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis H37Rv. To remove cytosolic proteins and facilitate access to the integral membrane
proteins, membrane fractions of M. tuberculosis H37Rv were intensely washed with 5 M urea and high
pH carbonate solution. One-dimensional SDS-PAGE, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and nanoLC
electrospray ionization MS/MS, proved to be the most efficient way to identify the proteins contained
within the membrane fraction. Here we report 349 protein identifications in total, validated by at least
two tryptic peptide matches and MOWSE scores greater than 75. Of those 349 proteins, 100 are integral
membrane proteins with at least one predicted transmembrane α helix (excluding the possible signal
sequence). 84 M. tuberculosis H37Rv proteins, including 42 integral membrane proteins, are described
for the first time.
