Proteomic profiling of the mitochondrial inner membrane of rat renal proximal convoluted tubules.

ABSTRACT: The proximal convoluted tubule is the primary site of renal fluid, electrolyte, and nutrient reabsorption, processes that consume large amounts of adenosine-5'-triphosphate. Previous proteomic studies have profiled the adaptions that occur in this segment of the nephron in response to the onset of metabolic acidosis. To extend this analysis, a proteomic workflow was developed to characterize the proteome of the mitochondrial inner membrane of the rat renal proximal convoluted tubule. Separation by LC coupled with analysis by MS/MS (LC-MS/MS) confidently identified 206 proteins in the combined samples. Further proteomic analysis identified 14 peptides that contain an N-ɛ-acetyl-lysine, seven of which are novel sites. This study provides the first proteomic profile of the mitochondrial inner
