Protein digestion, labelling and mass spectrometry was done as described in detail previously28 (link). 30 kDa size exclusion filters (Pall Corporation) were used in sample preparation. Samples were labelled with the isobaric iTRAQ tags as shown in Fig. 1 and pooled together for the mass spectrometry analysis. Labelled samples were analysed by Nano-RPLC- TripleTOF instrumentation using Eksigent ekspert™ 425 NanoLC coupled to high speed TripleTOF™ mass spectrometer (Sciex 5600+). A capillary RP-LC column (cHiPLC® ChromXP C18-CL, 3 µm particle size, 120 Å, 75 µm i.d × 15 cm; Eksigent, Concord, Canada) was used for LC separation of peptides.
