We report the targeted analysis of the human dental pulp proteome and N-terminome using the positional proteomics technique TAILS, which allowed us to capture both naturally blocked and unblocked protein N-termini. Furthermore, by using a proteomically barely studied human tissue in combination with a non-shotgun proteomics approach, we were able to identify many so far missing proteins (PE level 2-4), and established together with our previously published studies on human erythrocytes (Lange et al. 2014) and platelets (Prudova et al. 2014), a general workflow suitable for the in-depth and high-throughput analysis of protein N-termini in human specimen, as envisioned by the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome Project.
