Total protein concentration in AF samples was individually determined by a BCA assay (Micro BCA Protein Assay Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany). The pooled AF samples of SPTD case and TD control groups were generated by combining equal amounts of 10 individual AF samples from each group and further filtering them by centrifugation for 5 min at 16,000g and 4 °C. The 14 most abundant proteins were removed from 200 μg of pooled AF samples and subjected to tryptic digestion followed by high-pH reversed-phase fractionation as described in the Supplementary Material.
LC-MS/MS analyses of the fractionated peptide samples were performed using an online Thermo Easy nLC 1000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) system interfaced to a Thermo quadrupole-orbitrap Q-Exactive Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany), controlled by Xcalibur version 2.0.6 software (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA) as described in the Supplementary Material.

Peptides were loaded onto a 30-cm column (inner diameter: 75 microns; packed in-house with ReproSil-Pur C18-AQ 1.9-micron beads, Dr. Maisch GmbH) via the autosampler of the Thermo Easy-nLC 1000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 60 °C. Using the nanoelectrospray interface, eluting peptides were directly sprayed onto the benchtop Orbitrap mass spectrometer Q Exactive HF (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Peptides were loaded in buffer A (0.1% (v/v) formic acid) at 250 nl/min and percentage of buffer B (80% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid) was ramped to 30% over 120 min followed by a ramp to 60% over 10 min then 95% over the next 5 min and maintained at 95% for another 5 min. The mass spectrometer was operated in a data-dependent mode with survey scans from 300 to 1750 m/z (resolution of 60000 at m/z = 200), and up to 12 of the top precursors were selected and fragmented using higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD with a normalized collision energy of value of 28). The MS2 spectra were recorded at a resolution of 15000 (at m/z = 200). AGC target for MS and MS2 scans were set to 3E6 and 1E5 respectively within a maximum injection time of 20 ms for MS1 and 50 ms for MS2 scans. Dynamic exclusion was set to 16 ms.

TMT-Based Proteomic Analysis Workflow

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For this assay five samples were randomly selected from each device group. Equivalent amounts of protein (corresponding to similar surface areas from each sample) were reduced (10 mM dithiothreitol, 56 °C for 45 min) and alkylated (50 mM iodoacetamide, room temperature in the dark for 1 h). Proteins were subsequently digested with trypsin (sequencing grade; Promega, Madison, WI). trypsin activity was quenched by adding formic acid to a final concentration of 5%. Peptides were desalted using C18 SpinTips (Protea, Morgantown, WV) then lyophilized and stored at −80 °C. Peptides were labeled with TMT 6plex (Thermo Scientific) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Peptides were then loaded on a precolumn and separated by reverse-phase HPLC (Thermo Easy nLC1000) over a 140-min gradient before nanoelectrospray using a QExactive mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific). Raw mass spectral data files (.raw) were searched using Proteome Discoverer (Thermo Scientific) and Mascot version 2.4.1 (Matrix Science). TMT quantification was obtained using Proteome Discoverer and isotopically corrected as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

To purify SBPs, 2 mg samples of SIB were pre-equilibrated with PBS and incubated with the aforementioned sesame seedling extracts in 1 ml aliquots of PBS containing 0.1% NP-40; sesamin was used as a competitor at 2 mM. After washing with PBS, bound proteins were eluted with SDS containing PBS at 90 °C for 5 min, separated using SDS-PAGE and visualised by silver staining. The excised bands were then subjected to in-gel digestion with trypsin. Peptide mass fingerprint analyses were performed using nano liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (nano LC-MS; Thermo Easy nLC1000 equipped Thermo Orbitrap Elite) and analysed by Mascot search software.

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.
