Liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) analysis was performed using a Fusion-Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) and a U-3000 nanoflow-HPLC system (Thermo Scientific) as described previously46 (link). The entire TAIR10 database was searched (www.Arabidopsis.org) using Mascot (v.2.3.02, Matrix Science) (with the inclusion of sequences of common contaminants, such as keratins and trypsin). Parameters were set for 10 ppm peptide mass tolerance and allowing for Met oxidation and two missed tryptic cleavages. Carbamidomethylation of Cys residues was specified as a fixed modification, and oxidation of Met and phosphorylation of Ser, Tyr or Thr residues were allowed as variable modifications. Scaffold (v.3; Proteome Software) was used to validate MS/MS-based peptide and protein identifications and annotate spectra. The position and quality of spectra for phosphopeptides were also manually examined before acceptance.
