Digestion was performed on beads using a digestion buffer containing 50 mM NH4HCO3. The beads were then treated with 1 mM DTT at 25 °C for 30 min, followed by addition of 5 mM iodoacetamide (IAA) at 25 °C for 30 min in the dark. Lysyl endopeptidase (Wako) was added to the mixture at a 1:50 (w/w) enzyme to protein ratio and digestion proceeded at 25 °C overnight. Samples were further digested overnight with 1:50 (w/w) trypsin (Promega) at 25 °C. Resulting peptides were desalted with a Sep-Pak C18 column (Waters) and dried under vacuum.
