This work describes a rapid and sensitive technique for the identification of Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins on two-dimensional gels based on the determination of their amino acid ratios. Specific double labeling with H and C or S-labeled amino acids, chosen among those that are specifically incorporated into proteins without interconversion, allowed an accurate measurement of different amino acid ratios for 200 proteins. A computer program was developed to screen a yeast data base containing 1700 protein sequences and to identify proteins matching the measured M, pI, and amino acid ratios. The method, tested with 45 reference proteins, allowed 79 new identifications corresponding to abundant proteins belonging to a few functional families. Some protein spots correspond to homologs of mammalian proteins or to uncharacterized open reading frames. Remarkably, among identified proteins of similar abundance, the organellar proteins have a markedly lower codon usage bias than the cytosolic ones. The double labeling technique is particularly suited to the analysis, on a single two-dimensional gel, of the influence of physiological or genetic changes on yeast protein content.
