Supplementary table I: Sequences and masses of Bd2400 peptides identified by LC-MS/MS. Masses include modifications on cysteine or methionine residues. Spots from the 2D analysis of the extracellular fraction were picked and grouped together in eleven groups according to their molecular weight (MW) and their intensity. Each group was submitted individually to in-gel proteolysis and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) that were performed at theSmolerProteomicsCenter of the Technion, Israel. Proteins were in-gel digested with trypsin and dehydrated with acetonitrile, then rehydrated with 10% acetonitrile in10 mM ammonium bicarbonate containing trypsin [modified trypsin (Promega) at a 1:100 enzyme-to-substrate ratio]. Gel pieces were incubated overnight at 37oC and the resulting peptides were recovered and analyzed. Tryptic peptides were resolved by reverse-phase chromatography on 0.1 X 200-mm fused silica capillaries (J&W, 100 micrometer ID) packed with Everest reversed phase material (Grace Vydac). The peptides were eluted with linear 50 minutes gradients of 5 to 95% of acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid in water at flow rates of 0.4 µl per min. Mass spectrometry was performed by an ion-trap MS (LCQ-DecaXP, Finnigan) in a positive mode using repetitively full MS scan followed by collision induces dissociation (CID) of the three most dominant ions selected from the first MS scan. The MS data were clustered and analyzed using the Pep-Miner searching the bacteria database (Beer et al. 2004).
