Briefly, DIA raw data files were converted in profile mode to mzXML using msconvert and analyzed using OpenSWATH (2.0.0) [14] (link) as described previously [13] (link). Retention time extraction window was set as 600 s (for 60 min LC) or 350 s (for 20 min LC), and m/z extraction was performed with 0.03 Da tolerance. Retention time was then calibrated using both SiRT and CiRT peptides. Peptide precursors that were identified by OpenSWATH and pyprophet with d_score > 0.01 were used as inputs for TRIC [52] (link). For each protein, the median MS2 intensity value of peptide precursor fragments that were detected to belong to the protein was used to represent the protein abundance.
