Proteomics was performed as previously described (45 (link)), with a few modifications. A single gel slice for each pulldown was subjected to in-gel tryptic digestion using a ProGest automated digestion unit (Digilab UK). The resulting peptides were fractionated using a Dionex Ultimate 3000 nanoHPLC system in line with an LTQ-Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer controlled by Xcalibur 2.1 software (Thermo Scientific) operated in data-dependent acquisition mode. The raw data files were processed and quantified using Proteome Discoverer software v1.2 (Thermo Scientific) and searched against the UniProt Human database (122604 sequences) using the SEQUEST (Ver. 28 Rev. 13) algorithm. The reverse database search option was enabled, and all peptide data were filtered to satisfy a false discovery rate of 5%.
