MAPU

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become a powerful technology to map the protein composition of organelles, cell types and tissues. In our department a large-scale effort to map these proteomes is complemented by the Max-Planck Unified (MAPU) Proteome Database. MAPU contains several body fluid proteomes including plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. Cell lines have been mapped to a depth of several thousand proteins and the red blood cell proteome has also been analyzed in depth. By employing high resolution MS and stringent validation criteria, false positive identification rates in MAPU are lower than 1:100 and usually better than 1:1000. Thus MAPU data sets can serve as reference proteomes in biomarker discovery. Proteome data can be queried by protein name, accession number, peptide sequence and annotation information.
