The sample (5 μL)
was injected for analysis using a Thermo Fisher Easy nLC 1200 nanoflow
liquid chromatography system coupled to a Thermo Fisher Q-Exactive
high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometer. The sample was separated
on a Thermo Scientific Easy-Spray C18 Column (2 μm pore size,
150 mm long, 0.050 mm internal diameter) equipped with a trap column
(Acclaim PepMap 100 C18 LC column with a 3 μm particle size,
150 mm long, 0.075 mm internal diameter). Samples were separated using
water with 0.1% formic acid (solvent A) and 80% acetonitrile with
0.1% formic acid (solvent B), using a gradient of solvents flowing
at 300 nL/min during which the concentration of B increased from 2%
to 24% over 60 min, 24% to 36% over 10 min, and 36% to 98% over 1
min and then held at 98% for 15 min. Samples were ionized at 300 °C
and 200 V with an S-lens RF level of 80. A full scan (resolution of
70 000, automatic gain control target of 3 × 106, maximum injection time of 40 ms, and scan range of 400 to 1600 m/z) coupled to a data-dependent MS-2 top
10 scan (resolution of 17 500, automatic gain control target
of 5 × 104, maximum injection time of 150 ms, 0.8 m/z isolation window, normalized collision
energy of 27, and dynamic exclusion period of 10 s) was performed

The iTRAQ-labeled samples were analyzed using a Q ExactiveTM HF mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coupled with an UltiMate™ 3000 RSLCnano HPLC System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The iTRAQ-labeled peptides were pooled and desalted using Sep-Pak C18 cartridges (Waters, Milford, MA, USA). The desalted peptides were dried using SpeedVac and resuspended in 0.5% trifluoroacetic acid. The peptide mixtures were loaded onto an EASY-Spray™ C18 column (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and separated using a 0.1% formic acid solution with varying amounts of acetonitrile (5–80%). The top 15 most abundant precursor ions within the 375–1400 m/z scan range were dynamically selected for further fragmentation in high collision dissociation (HCD) mode, with the normalized collision energy set to 33 ± 1%. In the full MS scan, the resolution was set to 60,000 at m/z 200, AGC target to 3 × 10-6, and maximum injection time to 50 ms. For the MS/MS scan, the resolution was set to 15,000, AGC target to 5 × 10-4, and the maximum injection time was set to 100 ms. The release of the dynamic exclusion of selected precursor ions was set to 20 s.

Samples were processed for proteomics according to the FASP protocol and desalted on in-house prepared C18 tips82 (link). The peptides were resuspended to 0.5 µg/µL, and 1 µg was separated on an EASY Spray C18 column (50 cm × 75 cm, 2 µm particle size) (ThermoFisher Scientific, Toronto) using an EASY nLC-1200. The mobile phase was composed of 0.1% formic acid in water (A) and 80% acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid (B). The gradient was as follows: 5−40% B (0–120 min), 40%−100% B (120–125 min), 100% B (125–135 min). The peptides were analyzed on a Thermo QExactive HF mass spectrometer in a Top 20 data-dependent acquisition mode. Proteins were identified using MaxQuant to search the mouse (UP000000589) proteomes from UniProtKB (February 2019). Peptide spectral matches and protein False Discovery Rates were set to 1% and required a minimum of 1 unique peptide for identification. To increase the number of identified matches, a match between runs was enabled with a match time window of 0.7 minutes. Protein abundances were calculated using the iBAQ algorithm in MaxQuant. Differential protein abundance was performed using student’s t-test with Bonferroni correction on iBAQ values between control and acSRSF1 HKO.

A previously published filter-aided sample preparation method was used for the digestion of the concentrated AWF proteins (Wisniewski et al., 2009 (link)). Briefly, proteins (200 μg) were washed three times with UA buffer (8 M urea and 150 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5) and then alkylated in 50 mM iodoacetic acid for 30 min at 25 °C in darkness. After washing three times with UA buffer, the proteins were digested with 2 μg trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) in 25 mM NH4HCO3 on a 30-kDa filter unit (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) for 18 h at 37 °C. The peptide concentration was determined based on the OD280 value.
After the desalting step using a C18 cartridge, the peptides were analyzed using the Easy-nLC 1000 system coupled with the Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Total peptide solutions (1 μg from each sample) were separated using a peptide trap (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA, EASY-Spray C18 column; 2 cm × 100 μm × 5 μm) and a 60 min linear solvent gradient (5–28% phase B (0.1% formic acid in 100% ACN), 5–40 min; 28–90% phase B, 40–42 min; 90% phase B, 42–60 min, buffer A (0.1% FA in H2O)). The mass spectrometry (MS) operating parameters were as follows: data-dependent mode; MS1 resolution 60,000 at m/z 200; MS2 resolution 15,000 at m/z 120; m/z range 350–1,600 for the full scan.

Proteins from the spike pulldown experiments were subject to in-solution tryptic digestion and C18 clean-up as described above. Tryptic peptides were analyzed by LC–MS/MS. An UltiMate 3000 HPLC system (Thermo Scientific) with a nanoflow selector was coupled via an EASY-Spray Source (Thermo Scientific) to a Q Exactive HF mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific). Peptides were injected onto a C18 trap cartridge (Thermo Scientific, 160454) at a flow rate of 25 µL/min for 1 min, using 0.1% FA (aq). Peptides were eluted from the trap cartridge and separated on an analytical column (EASY-Spray C18 column, 75 µm × 50 cm, Thermo Scientific, ES803A, at 45 °C) at a flow rate of 0.25 µL/min using the following gradient: 0–1 min, 1% B; 1–6 min, 1–6% B; 6–40 min, 6–18% B; 40–70 min, 18–35% B; 70–80 min, 35–45% B; 80–81 min, 45–99% B; 81–89.8 min, 99% B; 89.8–90 min, 99–1% B; 90–120 min, 1% B. Mobile phase A was 0.1% FA (aq) and mobile phase B was 80% ACN, 0.1% FA (aq). Precursor MS1 spectra were acquired using Orbitrap detection (resolution 60,000 at 200 m/z, scan range 350–1600).

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.
