Peptide material from pull-down experiments was resuspended in 20 μl water with 0.1% TFA and 2% acetonitrile. Samples were then injected into a Dionex Ultimate 3000 nano-ultra LC system (Thermo Fisher) coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) as described previously (27 (link), 28 (link)). In brief, the samples were separated on an EASY-Spray LC column (PepMap RSLC C18, 500 mm × 75 μm ID, 2 μm particle size, Thermo Scientific) over 60 min for GlyGly immunoprecipitation and 120 min for the total proteome (gradient of 2–35% acetonitrile in 5% DMSO and 0.1% formic acid) at 250 nl/min. Acquisition of MS1 scans was performed at a resolution of 60,000 at 200 m/z. The most abundant precursor ions (top 12) were selected for HCD fragmentation.
