Samples were prepared using the Thermo EasyPep Mini MS Sample Prep Kit (Thermo Scientific, A4006) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The dried peptides were then dissolved in 0.1% formic acid (Thermo Scientific, 5178) solution, and peptide concentration was tested using the Pierce Quantitative Fluorometric Peptide Assay (Thermo Scientific, 23290). LC-MS/MS experiments were performed on an EASY-nLC 1000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) connected to an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Proteomic analysis was performed using Proteome Discoverer 2.4 (Thermo Scientific) software, the Uniprot human database and SequestHT with Percolator validation. The detailed information for LC/MS processing and data analysis was described previously [59 (link)].
