Quantitative analysis of protein expression is an important tool for the examination of complex biological systems. Albeit its importance, quantitative proteomics is still a challenging task because of the high dynamic range of protein amounts in the cell and the variation in the physical properties of proteins. Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) has been successfully used in yeast and mammalian cells to measure relative protein abundance by mass spectrometry. Here we show for the first time that proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana cell cultures can be selectively isotope-labeled in vivo by growing cells in the presence of a single stable isotope-labeled amino acid. Among the tested amino acids ([²H₃]-leucine, [¹³C₆]arginine, and [²H₄]lysine), [¹³C₆]arginine proved to be the most suitable. Incorporation of [¹³C₆]arginine into the proteome was homogeneous and reached efficiencies of about 80%. [¹³C₆]Arginine-labeled A. thaliana suspension cells were used to study the regulation of glutathione S-transferase expression in response to abiotic stress caused by salicylic acid and to identify proteins that bind specifically to phosphorylated 14-3-3 binding motifs on synthesized bait peptides in affinity purification experiments. In conclusion, the combination of stable isotope labeling of plant cells and mass spectrometry is a powerful technology that can be applied to study complex biological processes that involve changes in protein expression such as cellular responses to various kinds of stress or activation of cell signaling.
