Trypsin-digested protein samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using a Thermo-Dionex UltiMate3000 RSLCnano liquid chromatograph that was connected in line with an LTQ-Orbitrap-XL mass spectrometer equipped with a nanoelectrospray ionization source (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Data acquisition was controlled using Xcalibur software (version 2.0.7, Thermo) and data analysis was performed using Proteome Discoverer software (version 1.3, Thermo). LC-MS/MS method details have been published elsewhere [30 (link)].
