Abstract:	ESAT-6 (the 6 kDa early secreted antigenic target) protein species in short-term culture filtrate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were separated in a 4-5 narrow range p/ gradient two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Eight ESAT-6 protein species were analyzed in detail by peptide mass fingerprinting matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry as well as by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. An N-terminal Thr acetylation was identified in four species and a C-terminal truncation was identified in two species. In 2-DE blot overlay assays, the recombinant 10 kDa culture filtrate protein (CFP10) discriminated N-terminal acetylated and nonacetylated ESAT-6 by differential interaction, whereas removal of the C-terminal 11 residues of ESAT-6 had no effects thereon. This example shows that the access to the protein species level can be a prerequisite to understand regulation of protein-protein interaction.
