Samples were excised from 2DE (see Fig. 4A) and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Protein identification after LC-MS/MS was performed with the software GPS Explorer and an in-house Mascot search engine. Settings: Precursor Tol: 15 ppm, MS/MS Fragment Tol: 0.15 Da. For each protein identification, columns show: Accession number in the Swiss-Prot database (Acc Nr), Protein theoretical mass in Da (MW), Protein theoretical isoelectric point (pI), and the number of peptides used for protein identification (#). The Mascot Best ion score (i.e. the highest score of a single peptide), and the significance of the database search (C.I. = the confidence interval) calculated by the GPS Explorer software were > 45 with at a confidence interval (C.I.) > 99.0 for all peptides except for Che a 1 in sample 6 where Best ion score was 17 and C.I. = 90.1%. Best ion score was 56 and C.I. = 99.999% for the Che a 1-homologue in sample 5. Best ion core was 82 and 62 with C.I. = 100% for the Che a 2-homologue in sample 3 and 4.
