Probability-Based Protein Identification for Post-Translation Modifications and Amino Acid Variants Using Peptide Mass Fingerprint Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: We apply a log-likelihood ratio calculation to determine the probability that a protein is present within the sample. The model distinguishes the null hypothesis: a set of peaks in the spectrum is generated by the random background, from the alternative hypothesis: the same set of peaks is generated by peptides corresponding to a specific protein. Peak assignment is based on the log-likelihood ratio as oppose to matching peaks with peptides within the mass tolerance. The mass spectrum is first matched with unmodified protein sequences. The top scored proteins in the search result are then used to construct a database that includes PTMs and amino acid variants, against which the spectrum is searched again. Results are ranked by their probability scores.

Mass Spectrometry: Quantitation
graphy (LC) has been used for identification of proteins excised from 1-D or 2-D gels. The automated nature of protein database searching using uninterpreted MS/MS data (4), the low femtomole sensitivity and the ability to identify a protein based on a single MS/MS product ion spectrum allow the identification of more than 100 proteins per day. Thus, extensive protein identifications have been ...

We describe a statistical measure, Mass Distance Fingerprint, for automatic de novo detection of predominant peptide mass distances, i.e., putative protein modifications. The method's focus is to globally detect mass differences, not to assign peptide sequences or modifications to individual spectra. The Mass Distance Fingerprint is calculated from high accuracy measured peptide masses. For the...

Overview Protein discovery research most commonly involves the identification and quantification of proteins that are relevant to a given biological state. Crucial to this is the characterization of the post-translational modifications on the proteins of interest. PTMs are covalent modification or processing events that change the properties of a protein through proteolytic cleavage or by addit...

Typically, detection of protein sequences in collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem MS (MS2) dataset is performed by mapping identified peptide ions back to protein sequence by using the protein database search (PDS) engine. Finding a particular peptide sequence of interest in CID MS2 records very often requires manual evaluation of the spectrum, regardless of whether the peptide-associate...
متن کاملEvaluating Peptide Mass Fingerprinting-based Protein Identification
Identification of proteins by mass spectrometry (MS) is an essential step in proteomic studies and is typically accomplished by either peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) or amino acid sequencing of the peptide. Although sequence information from MS/MS analysis can be used to validate PMF-based protein identification, it may not be practical when analyzing a large number of proteins and when high...
