For proteome analysis, immunoprecipitated proteins were reduced, alkylated and trypsin digested as previously described [57 (link)]. Desalted tryptic peptides were analyzed on an Orbitrap Lumos Tribrid mass spectrometer coupled with a UltiMate 3000-nLC (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Raw data files were processed with Proteome Discoverer (v2.2, Thermo Fisher Scientific) software, using Mascot v2.5.1 (Matrix Sciences) search node for peptide/protein identification. Target Decoy was used to calculate the false discovery rate (FDR) of peptide spectrum matches, set to a p-value <0.05 [58 (link)]. Geneset enrichment analysis with fold change ratio of peptide spectral match counts between KO and WT retina was performed as described in the RNA seq analyses section below.
