We used a photoactivatable, lipophilic reagent, 3'-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-[125I]iodophenyl)diazirine, to label proteins in the outer membrane of elementary bodies of Chlamydia trachomatis LGV serovar L2 and mass spectrometry to identify the labeled proteins. The identified proteins were polymorphic outer membrane proteins E, G, and H, which were made late in the developmental cycle, the major outer membrane protein, and a mixture of 46-kDa proteins consisting of the open reading frame 623 protein and possibly a modified form of the major outer membrane protein.
