Abstract: 

Here, we establish a methodology for large-scale quantitative proteomics using SIL (stable isotope labeling) to examine protein expression changes in trophozoite stages of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum following drug treatment. For this purpose, exposure to ¹³C₆ ¹⁵N₁-isoleucine was optimized in order to obtain 99 % atomic enrichment. Proteome fractionation with anion exchange chromatography was used to reduce sample complexity and increase quantitative coverage of protein expression. Tryptic peptides of subfractions were subjected to SCX/RP separation, measured by LC-MS/MS, and quantified using the software tool Census. In drug-treated parasites, we identified a total number of 1,253 proteins, thus increasing the overall number of proteins so far identified in the trophozoite stage by 30 % in the previous literature. A relative quantification was obtained for more than 800 proteins. About 5 % of proteins showed a clear up- or downregulation upon drug treatment.
