Researchers map 5,000 proteins in a stem cell Researchersin Germany have mapped over 5,000 proteins present in embryonic stemcells in a bid to understand the mechanism of their conversion intoother cells. Questions on how stem cells operate and convert into othercells have prompted researchers to take a "big picture" approach,identifying all the proteins that are expressed in stem cells.Currently, around 1,700 proteins have been identified in stem cellsthat hold great potential in biology and medicine.
Now, usingmass spectrometry and special "heavy" amino acids, Matthias Mann andcolleagues at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry in Germany havequantified 5,111 distinct mouse stem cell proteins. As expected, a goodportion of these proteins are involved in rapid cell growth, butoverall the protein map encompassed a broad range of cell functions.
