Global Post-Translational Modification Discovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new global post-translational modification (PTM) discovery strategy, G-PTM-D, is described. A proteomics database containing UniProt-curated PTM information is supplemented with potential new modification types and sites discovered from a first-round search of mass spectrometry data with ultrawide precursor mass tolerance. A second-round search employing the supplemented database conducted with standard narrow mass tolerances yields deep coverage and a rich variety of peptide modifications with high confidence in complex unenriched samples. The G-PTM-D strategy represents a major advance to the previously reported G-PTM strategy and provides a powerful new capability to the proteomics research community.

Global Identification of Protein Post-translational Modifications in a Single-Pass Database Search
Bottom-up proteomics database search algorithms used for peptide identification cannot comprehensively identify post-translational modifications (PTMs) in a single-pass because of high false discovery rates (FDRs). A new approach to database searching enables global PTM (G-PTM) identification by exclusively looking for curated PTMs, thereby avoiding the FDR penalty experienced during convention...
متن کاملHuman Proteomic Variation Revealed by Combining RNA-Seq Proteogenomics and Global Post-Translational Modification (G-PTM) Search Strategy
Mass-spectrometry-based proteomic analysis underestimates proteomic variation due to the absence of variant peptides and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) from standard protein databases. Each individual carries thousands of missense mutations that lead to single amino acid variants, but these are missed because they are absent from generic proteomic search databases. Myriad types of prote...
متن کاملTransferred subgroup false discovery rate for rare post-translational modifications detected by mass spectrometry.
In shotgun proteomics, high-throughput mass spectrometry experiments and the subsequent data analysis produce thousands to millions of hypothetical peptide identifications. The common way to estimate the false discovery rate (FDR) of peptide identifications is the target-decoy database search strategy, which is efficient and accurate for large datasets. However, the legitimacy of the target-dec...
متن کاملTargeting the SUMO pathway for neuroprotection in brain ischaemia
Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) conjugation (SUMOylation) is a post-translational protein modification that modulates almost all major cellular processes, and has been implicated in many human diseases. A growing body of evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrates that increasing global levels of SUMO conjugated proteins (global SUMOylation) protects cells against ischaemia-ind...
متن کاملBayesian false discovery rates for post-translational modification proteomics
Tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomics enables high throughput analysis of post-translational modifications (PTMs) on proteins. In current researches of shotgun proteomics, peptides with various PTMs and those without PTMs are often identified together and an overall false discovery rate (FDR) is estimated. However, it is often the case that only a subset of identifications, e.g. those with ...
