Gel bands were cut into 1 mm3 pieces and were subjected to in-gel trypsin digestion overnight. The peptides were extracted with acetonitrile and vacuum dried. Samples were loaded onto Proxeon EASY-nLC II liquid chromatography pump (Thermo Fisher) after reconstituted in HPLC solvent A (2.5% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid). By increasing the concentration of solvent B (97.5% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid), samples were eluted with a gradient of acetonitrile (6–30%) within 30 min. The eluates were directly subjected to Orbitrap Elite MS (Thermo Fisher). To produce a tandem mass spectrum of specific fragment ions for each peptide, the peptides were detected, isolated, and fragmented. The MS/MS spectra were analyzed by matching protein databases with the acquired fragmentation patterns using SEQUEST (ver. 28, Thermo Fisher). Enzyme specificity was set to partially tryptic with two missed cleavages. Carboxyamidomethyl for cysteine and oxidation for methionine residues were set as static modifications and variable modification respectively. According to the target-bait method, the identified peptides were filtered with false discovery rate (FDR) < 1%. A complete list of peptides identified by mass spectrometry was shown in Table S1.

All mass spectra were collected on a research‐type Orbitrap Elite MS (Thermo Scientific, Bremen, Germany), using an electrospray ionization source in positive mode [ESI(+)] at 4 kV ionization voltage. Mass spectra were recorded over a range of 150≤m/z≤1000 with a resolution setting of R=480000 (full width at half‐maximum at m/z=400). Spectral stitching was used with scan windows of 30 Da and a 5 Da overlap.[20, 23]
GC‐FID measurements were conducted on an Agilent 7890B with a DB‐Wax‐Ether column (Agilent) (L=30 m, I.D.=0.25 mm). The carrier gas was H2 at 0.6 bar, and the temperature was increased from 35 to 280 °C at 5 °C min−1 and held at 280 °C for 5 min. The injector had a temperature of 220 °C, the analyzer one of 350 °C.

Phosphorylation sites of talin-1 R7R8 were determined using mass spectrometry. The in vitro kinase assay was carried out with the substrate talin-1 R7R8 and CDK1-cyclin A2. Reactions was carried out for 45 min at 30 °C and stopped by adding SDS sample buffer and boiling for 10 min at 95 °C. All samples were loaded onto an SDS PAGE 4 to 12% Bis-Tris gel (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and separated by running at 200 V for 60 min. Gels were stained with Instant-Blue (Expedeon) for 15 min and washed in water overnight at 4 °C. The talin R7R8 bands were cut from the gel and processed by in-gel tryptic digestion. Peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS by using an UltiMate 3000 Rapid Separation LC (Dionex Corporation) coupled to an Orbitrap Elite MS (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Peptides were separated on a bridged ethyl hybrid C18 analytical column (250 mm × 75 μm internal diameter, 1.7 μm particle size; Waters) over a 45 min gradient from 8 to 33% (v/v) acetonitrile in 0.1% (v/v) formic acid. LC-MS/MS analyses were operated in data-dependent mode to automatically select peptides for fragmentation by CID. Multistage activation was enabled to fragment product ions resulting from neutral loss of phosphoric acid. Quantification was performed using Progenesis LC-MS/MS software.

Metal–ligand complex analysis in an ion trap MS instrument involved a high-resolution electrospray ionization (ESI)-coupled Orbitrap Elite Mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Elite MS). In direct infusion ESI-MS analysis, 10 μL analyte samples was injected into the instrument by loop (Waters) injection and delivered to the ionization source (Heated-ESI, HESI) with subsequent injection of 10 μL of 0.1% formic acid (FA) in 80% acetonitrile (ACN). The Orbitrap mass analyzer was operated in positive ionization mode with a source voltage 2.5 KV, capillary temperature 360 °C and source heater temperature 350 °C. Data were acquired at resolution 15,000 with a Fourier transform (FT)-MS instrument in a range of mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) of 50–990 and isolation width of 2 Thomson. Tandem mass spectra (MS/MS; MS2) acquired with high-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) were produced at different collision energies, 40–150%, and 2.0 ppm tolerance window. Data were analyzed by use of Thermo Scientific Xcalibur software (Thermo Fishers).

80 μg of WT or E73Q mVDAC1 was reconstituted in bicelles by adding a 35% solution of DMPC/CHAPSO bicelles (4:1 v/v protein:bicelles), and incubating on ice for 30 min. Samples were then diluted to 100 μL with 20 mM Tris buffer pH 8, and photolabeled in a quartz cuvette with > 320 nm UV light. For top-down MS analysis, samples were then reduced, precipitated [24 (link)], reconstituted in formic acid and chloroform/methanol/water 4:4:1, and analyzed on a Thermo Orbitrap Elite MS as previously described [11 (link)]. Full spectra of intact photo-labeled mVDAC1 were acquired on the LTQ. HCD fragmentation spectra of the 31+ charge state were acquired at 60,000 resolution and normalized energy of 10. Deconvolution of full spectra from the LTQ was performed using MagTran [25 (link)]. MASH was used to analyze top-down HCD fragmentation data [26 (link)]. Each identified fragment ion was manually verified and accepted if within 10 ppm of predicted.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
