Abstract

Isobaric labeling quantification by mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a powerful technology for multiplexed large-scale protein profiling, but measurement accuracy in complex mixtures is confounded by the interference from coisolated ions, resulting in ratio compression. Here we report that the ratio compression can be essentially resolved by the combination of pre-MS peptide fractionation, MS2-based interference detection, and post-MS computational interference correction. To recapitulate the complexity of biological samples, we pooled tandem mass tag (TMT)-labeled Escherichia coli peptides at 1:3:10 ratios and added in ∼20-fold more rat peptides as background, followed by the analysis of two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC)–MS/MS. Systematic investigation shows that quantitative interference was impacted by LC fractionation depth, MS isolation window, and peptide loading amount. Exhaustive fractionation (320 × 4 h) can nearly eliminate the interference and achieve results comparable to the MS3-based method. Importantly, the interference in MS2 scans can be estimated by the intensity of contaminated y 1 product ions, and we thus developed an algorithm to correct reporter ion ratios of tryptic peptides. Our data indicate that intermediate fractionation (40 × 2 h) and y 1 ion-based correction allow accurate and deep TMT profiling of more than 10 000 proteins, which represents a straightforward and affordable strategy in isobaric labeling proteomics.

  • The acquisition of rich proteomic information is largely attributed to access to high quality AD brain tissue and the strength of the optimized MS-based proteomics platform.

    “The acquisition of such rich proteomic information is largely attributed to the access to high quality AD brain tissue (Beach et al., 2015) and the strength of the optimized mass spectrometry-based proteomics platform, including multiplex TMT isobaric labeling (Niu et al., 2017), extensive long gradient LC/LC coupled with high resolution MS/MS analysis (Wang et al., 2015), a refined phosphopeptide”
  • Ratio compression during TMT quantification due to peptide co-elution can be addressed by MS3, extensive LC fractionation, MS optimization, and computational correction.

    “Although ratio compression occurs during quantification because of peptide co-elution, the limitation can be addressed by the introduction of the MS3 method [23], extensive LC fractionation, MS optimization, and computational correction [24], to allow deep proteomic analysis [18, 25, 26].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
