Indicated bands from hr‐CN PAGE or BN‐PAGE were enzymatically digested, separated on a HPLC EkspertnanoLC 425 (Eksigent, Redwood City CA) and analyzed in a MALDI‐TOF/TOF 4800 Plus mass spectrometer (ABSciex, Framingham MA) (Shevchenko, Tomas, Havli, Olsen, & Mann, 2006) in the Unidad de Genómica, Proteómica y Metabolómica, CINVESTAV‐IPN. Generated MS/MS spectra were compared using Protein Pilot software v. 4.0 (ABSciex, Framingham MA) against the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 204508 database (downloaded of Uniprot, 6721 protein sequences) and Wolbachia genus database (downloaded of Uniprot, 47781 protein sequences) using Paragon algorithm.

Cucumber Proteome Quantification by MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mass spectrometric data was processed with Protein Pilot Software v. 4.0 (AB SCIEX, USA) against Cucumber database using the Paragon algorithm, and further processed by a Pro Group algorithm where isoform-specific quantification was adopted to trace the differences between expressions of various isoforms which was applied to the peptide identification. Protein identification was performed with emphasis on biological modifications option. Database search parameters were the followings: instrument was TripleTOF 5600, iTRAQ 8-plex quantification, cysteine modified with iodoacetamide, biological modifications were selected as the ID focus, trypsin digestion. An automatic decoy database search strategy was employed to estimate the false discovery rate (FDR) using the Proteomics System Performance Evaluation Pipeline Software (PSPEP) t was integrated in the Protein Pilot Software. In this study, only protein quantification data with the value of global FDR ≤0.05 were chosen for further analysis, and proteins with a |fold change ≥1.5| were considered to be significantly differentially expressed.

Quantitative Proteomics by iTRAQ

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein identification and quantification were carried out using ProteinPilot™ software v.4.0 (ABSciex). Each MS/MS spectrum was searched in the Uniprot/Swissprot database (downloaded in May 2012) for Homo sapiens. Search parameters within ProteinPilot were set with trypsin cleavage specificity; methyl methanethiosulfate (MMTS) modified cysteine as fixed modifications; biological modification “ID focus” settings, and a protein minimum confidence score of 95%. Thus, the identity of the protein from the analyzed peptide was confirmed, and the ratios of the peak areas of iTRAQ reporter ions were used to compare the relative abundance of the protein identified in the sample. Only proteins identified with at least 95% confidence, or a Prot Score (protein confidence measure) of at least 1.3 were reported (Supplementary Table S1). Data were normalized for loading error by bias and the background correction was calculated using the Pro Group™ algorithm (ABSciex). To determine the cutoff value for significant fold changes, coefficient of variation and cumulative frequency were calculated for the common proteins employing the R statistical package58 (link). Using this tool, we considered statistically significant only those changes with a p value ≤ 0.05 and a ratio ≥ 1.4 (or ≤0.7). The results obtained from ProteinPilot were exported to Microsoft Excel for further analyses.

Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics Workflow

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dried peptides were dissolved in 0.1% formic acid/2% acetonitrile and analyzed on AB Sciex Triple TOF 5600 mass spectrometer (MS) system. Acquired raw data files (.wiff) were searched using Protein Pilot software V.4.2 (AB Sciex, USA) against protein sequence database. Finally, obtained data were uploaded to IPA (https://www.qiagenbioinformatics.com/products/ingenuity-pathway-analysis/) for bioinformatics analysis. As SILAC is a highly accurate quantitative method, cutoff for fold change was set to 1.50, and p-value was less than 0.05. This study employed global functional analyses, network analyses, and canonical pathway analyses.
For differentially expressed global protein samples, peptide sample of each gel piece was individually analyzed on MS. After searching against protein sequence database, nine sets of data were merged. Above experimental process was repeated thrice; data were merged and then uploaded to IPA for analysis.

discovery rate analysis was also performed. The output of this search
is a .group file and was used as the MDM reference spectral library.
The .group file contains the following information that is required
for targeted data extraction: protein name and UniProt accession,
stripped peptide sequence, modified peptide sequence, Q1 and Q3 ion
detection, retention time, relative intensity, precursor charge, fragment
type, score, confidence, and decoy result.

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.
