Abstract

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an extremely useful model organism, and protein phosphorylation is an extremely important posttranslational modification. We have established the protocol 2-D difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE), combined with the fluorescence staining with Pro-Q Diamond, that successfully detects subtle changes of spot mobility caused by protein phosphorylation between Chlamydomonas samples.
