Identification of S100 proteins. A) Gel window comprising an area covering a pI/kDa range of 4.5-7/15-9 kDa, where the majority of known members of non-keratin associated S100 proteins, are expected to localize. The protein spots localizing in this area were picked from the gels and digested with trypsin. The resulting fragments were analyzed by mass spectrometry. Eleven spots were identified as S100 protein members. The numbers indicate the eleven spots corresponding to S100 proteins, whose spectra are shown in B). The mass peaks marked with an asterisk match the theoretical spectrum of the assigned proteins.
