Concentrated peptides (250 ng) were separated on a nanoHPLC system (nanoElute, Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, MA, USA). The samples were loaded onto an Acclaim PepMap100 C18 Trap Column (0.3 mm id × 5 mm, Dionex Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at 4 µL/min consistent flow and peptides were eluted onto a PepMap C18 analytical nanocolumn (1.9 µm beads size, 75 µm × 25 cm, PepSep, Marslev, Denmark) heated at 50 °C. Peptides were eluted with solvent B (100% ACN and 0.1% FA) in a 5–37% linear gradient with a flowrate of 400 nL/min for ~2 h. The HPLC system was coupled to a TimsTOF Pro ion mobility mass spectrometer containing Captive Spray nano electrospray source (Bruker Daltonics). Data acquisition was undertaken using diaPASEF mode. For each individual Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry (TIMS) measurement in diaPASEF mode, a single mobility window consisting of 27 mass steps (with m/z ranging from 114 to 1414 and a mass width of 50 Da) was employed per cycle, with a 1.27 s duty cycle. This process involves scanning the diagonal line in the m/z-ion mobility plane for +2 and +3 charged peptides.

Ubiquitination Reaction Protocol with Mass Spectrometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ubiquitination reaction samples (3 µg protein) were diluted in denaturing buffer (3 M urea, 25 mM TEAB pH 8.5, 0.5 mM EDTA) and reduced using 2 mM TCEP for 10 min at 37°C, followed by alkylation with 50 mM chloroacetamide for 30 min at room temperature in the dark. Chloroacetamide was used to avoid iodoacetamide-induced artefacts that mimic ubiquitination [84 (link)]. Samples were diluted with 50 mM TEAB pH 8.5 to 1 M urea and digested with 0.5 µg trypsin (Sigma) for 3 h at 37°C. Digested peptides were purified using C18 Spin Columns (ThermoFisher) and resuspended in 0.1% formic acid. Peptides (0.5 µg) were captured and eluted from an Acclaim PepMap100 C18 column with a 2 h gradient of acetonitrile in 0.1% formic acid at 200 ml min−1. The eluted peptides were analysed with an Impact II Q-TOF spectrometer equipped with a Captive Spray nanoelectrospray source (Bruker). Data were acquired using data-dependent automatic tandem mass spectrometry (auto-MS/MS) and analysed with MaxQuant using a standard search procedure against a custom-made FASTA file including GST-Ub, Parkin, Ub and UbcH7. Methionine oxidation, Lys ubiquitination (diGly) and Ser/Thr phosphorylation were included as variable modifications. Cysteine carbamylation was included as fixed modification.

All mass spectrometry experiments were performed at the Mass spectrometry and Proteomics platform at Université de Sherbrooke. From each fraction, 250 ng of peptides were injected into an HPLC (nanoElute, Bruker Daltonics) and loaded onto a trap column (constant flow of 4 µl/min; Acclaim PepMap100 C18 column, 0.3 mm internal diameter×5 mm, Dionex Corporation). An analytical C18 column (1.9 µm beads size, 75 µm×25 cm, PepSep) was used for elution for over a 2 h gradient of acetonitrile (5-37%) in 0.1% FA at 400 nl/min while being injected into a TimsTOF Pro trapped ion mobility mass spectrometer (TIMS) equipped with a Captive Spray nano electrospray source (Bruker Daltonics). Data were acquired using data-dependent auto-MS/MS with a 100-1700 m/z mass range, with parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (PASEF) enabled and PASEF scans set at 10 (1.17 s duty cycle) and a dynamic exclusion of 0.4 min, m/z-dependent isolation window and collision energy of 42.0 eV. The intensity threshold was set at 2500, and the target intensity was set at 20,000.

Offline and Online LC-MS/MS Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All of the offline top-down and bottom-up LC-MS/MS data were collected using Orbitrap platforms (Thermo Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA) and were completed using standard approaches as described in supplemental information. For the online LC-MS experiments, proteins were eluted using an analytical column which was packed with 20 cm of C4 reverse phase material (Halo Protein C4, 3.4 μm, 400Å) with a laser-pulled emitter tip. Proteins were loaded on the capillary reverse phase analytical column (360 μm O.D. × 150 μm I.D.) using a Waters nanoACQUITY UPLC (Waters Corporations, Milford, MA, USA) where mobile phase A consisted of 0.1% formic acid, 99.99% water, and mobile phase B consisted of 0.1% formic acid, 99.99% acetonitrile, eluting at 0.600 μL/min. Ions were generated using a Bruker Captive Spray nanoelectrospray source (Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, MA, USA) and directed into a Bruker SolariX 15T FTICR MS (Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, MA, USA). The mass spectrometer was set to scan from m/z 230-2,000, with a file size of 1M yielding a resolving power of 150,000 at m/z 400 (FID length: 0.5243 s). Ion optics were tuned as follows: accumulation hexapole (2 MHz, 1200 Vpp), time-of-flight delay (0.8 ms), funnel RF amplitude (280 Vpp), transfer optics (4 MHz, 290 Vpp), and ICR cell (sweep excitation power: 18%).

Protein extraction, digestion, immuno-affinity enrichment, and analysis by liquid chromatography–multiple reaction monitoring were conducted as previously described (12 (link), 13 (link)) with the following modifications. Frozen tissue lysates were cleared by centrifugation at 20,000×g for 10 min at 4°C, and protein concentration was determined using a Micro BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA, #23235) prior to storage in liquid nitrogen until digestion. Digestion of plasma was performed with Lys-C for 2 h at 37°C [1:50 (w/w) enzyme:substrate ratio] followed by trypsin (Worthington, #LS003740) for overnight digestion at 37°C [1:50 (w/w) enzyme:substrate ratio]. Enrichments were performed using a mixture of 45 antibodies (four capture more than one peptide) coupled to protein G magnetic beads (GE Sepharose, #28-9513-79) at a 5-μg antibody:1-μl bead slurry ratio. For liquid chromatography, the trap and analytical columns were heated at 45°C and interfaced to the mass spectrometer using a CaptiveSpray nano electrospray source (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA).

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.
