Marginal protein stability drives subcellular proteome isoelectric point [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

There exists a positive correlation between the pH of subcellular compartments and the median isoelectric point (pI) for the associated proteomes. Proteins in the human lysosome—a highly acidic compartment in the cell—have a median pI of ∼6.5, whereas proteins in the more basic mitochondria have a median pI of ∼8.0....
