MSModDetector: A Tool for Detecting Mass Shifts and Post-Translational Modifications in Individual Ion Mass Spectrometry Data

Open access

Abstract

Motivation: Post-translational modifications (PTMs) on proteins regulate protein structures and functions. A single protein molecule can possess multiple modification sites that can accommodate various PTM types, leading to a variety of different patterns, or combinations of PTMs, on that protein. Different PTM patterns can give rise to distinct biological functions. To facilitate the study of multiple PTMs, top-down mass spectrometry (MS) has proven to be a useful tool to measure the mass of intact proteins, thereby enabling even widely separated PTMs to be assigned to the same protein molecule and allowing determination of how many PTMs are attached to a single protein. Results: We developed a Python module called MSModDetector that studies PTM patterns from individual ion mass spectrometry (I MS) data. I MS is an intact protein mass spectrometry approach that generates true mass spectra without the need to infer charge states. The algorithm first detects and quantifies mass shifts for a protein of interest and subsequently infers potential PTM patterns using linear programming. The algorithm is evaluated on simulated I MS data and experimental I MS data for the tumor suppressor protein p53. We show that MSModDetector is a useful tool for comparing a protein’s PTM pattern landscape across different conditions. An improved analysis of PTM patterns will enable a deeper understanding of PTM-regulated cellular processes. Availability: The source code is available at https://github.com/marjanfaizi/MSModDetector together with the scripts used for analyses and to generate the figures presented in this study.

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.
