Project description:The Crux tandem mass spectrometry data analysis toolkit provides a collection of algorithms for analyzing bottom-up proteomics tandem mass spectrometry data. Many publications have described various individual components of Crux, but a comprehensive summary has not been published since 2014. The goal of this work is to summarize the functionality of Crux, focusing on developments since 2014. We begin with empirical results demonstrating our recently implemented speedups to the Tide search engine. Other new features include a new score function in Tide, two new confidence estimation procedures, as well as three new tools: Param-medic for estimating search parameters directly from mass spectrometry data, Kojak for searching cross-linked mass spectra, and DIAmeter for searching data independent acquisition data against a sequence database.

Project description:Lipid identification from data produced with high-throughput technologies is essential to the elucidation of the roles played by lipids in cellular function and disease. Software tools for identifying lipids from tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra have been developed, but they are often costly or lack the sophistication of their proteomics counterparts. We have developed Greazy, an open source tool for the automated identification of phospholipids from MS/MS spectra, that utilizes methods similar to those developed for proteomics. From user-supplied parameters, Greazy builds a phospholipid search space and associated theoretical MS/MS spectra. Experimental spectra are scored against search space lipids with similar precursor masses using a peak score based on the hypergeometric distribution and an intensity score utilizing the percentage of total ion intensity residing in matching peaks. The LipidLama component filters the results via mixture modeling and density estimation. We assess Greazy's performance against the NIST 2014 metabolomics library, observing high accuracy in a search of multiple lipid classes. We compare Greazy/LipidLama against the commercial lipid identification software LipidSearch and show that the two platforms differ considerably in the sets of identified spectra while showing good agreement on those spectra identified by both. Lastly, we demonstrate the utility of Greazy/LipidLama with different instruments. We searched data from replicates of alveolar type 2 epithelial cells obtained with an Orbitrap and from human serum replicates generated on a quadrupole-time-of-flight (Q-TOF). These findings substantiate the application of proteomics derived methods to the identification of lipids. The software is available from the ProteoWizard repository: http://tiny.cc/bumbershoot-vc12-bin64 .

Project description:ObjectivesStandard implementations of amyloid typing by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry use capabilities unavailable to most clinical laboratories. To improve accessibility of this testing, we explored easier approaches to tissue sampling and data processing.MethodsWe validated a typing method using manual sampling in place of laser microdissection, pairing the technique with a semiquantitative measure of sampling adequacy. In addition, we created an open-source data processing workflow (Crux Pipeline) for clinical users.ResultsCases of amyloidosis spanning the major types were distinguishable with 100% specificity using measurements of individual amyloidogenic proteins or in combination with the ratio of λ and κ constant regions. Crux Pipeline allowed for rapid, batched data processing, integrating the steps of peptide identification, statistical confidence estimation, and label-free protein quantification.ConclusionsAccurate mass spectrometry-based amyloid typing is possible without laser microdissection. To facilitate entry into solid tissue proteomics, newcomers can leverage manual sampling approaches in combination with Crux Pipeline and related tools.

Project description:Glycosylation is among the most abundant and diverse protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) identified to date. The structural analysis of this PTM is challenging because of the diverse monosaccharides which are not conserved among organisms, the branched nature of glycans, their isomeric structures, and heterogeneity in the glycan distribution at a given site. Glycoproteomics experiments have adopted the traditional high-throughput LC-MSn proteomics workflow to analyze site-specific glycosylation. However, comprehensive computational platforms for data analyses are scarce. To address this limitation, we present a comprehensive, open-source, modular software for glycoproteomics data analysis called GlycoPAT (GlycoProteomics Analysis Toolbox; freely available from www.VirtualGlycome.org/glycopat). The program includes three major advances: (1) "SmallGlyPep," a minimal linear representation of glycopeptides for MSn data analysis. This format allows facile serial fragmentation of both the peptide backbone and PTM at one or more locations. (2) A novel scoring scheme based on calculation of the "Ensemble Score (ES)," a measure that scores and rank-orders MS/MS spectrum for N- and O-linked glycopeptides using cross-correlation and probability based analyses. (3) A false discovery rate (FDR) calculation scheme where decoy glycopeptides are created by simultaneously scrambling the amino acid sequence and by introducing artificial monosaccharides by perturbing the original sugar mass. Parallel computing facilities and user-friendly GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) are also provided. GlycoPAT is used to catalogue site-specific glycosylation on simple glycoproteins, standard protein mixtures and human plasma cryoprecipitate samples in three common MS/MS fragmentation modes: CID, HCD and ETD. It is also used to identify 960 unique glycopeptides in cell lysates from prostate cancer cells. The results show that the simultaneous consideration of peptide and glycan fragmentation is necessary for high quality MSn spectrum annotation in CID and HCD fragmentation modes. Additionally, they confirm the suitability of GlycoPAT to analyze shotgun glycoproteomics data.

Project description:Mass-Suite (MSS) is a Python-based, open-source software package designed to analyze high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)-based non-targeted analysis (NTA) data, particularly for water quality assessment and other environmental applications. MSS provides flexible, user-defined workflows for HRMS data processing and analysis, including both basic functions (e.g., feature extraction, data reduction, feature annotation, data visualization, and statistical analyses) and advanced exploratory data mining and predictive modeling capabilities that are not provided by currently available open-source software (e.g., unsupervised clustering analyses, a machine learning-based source tracking and apportionment tool). As a key advance, most core MSS functions are supported by machine learning algorithms (e.g., clustering algorithms and predictive modeling algorithms) to facilitate function accuracy and/or efficiency. MSS reliability was validated with mixed chemical standards of known composition, with 99.5% feature extraction accuracy and ~ 52% overlap of extracted features relative to other open-source software tools. Example user cases of laboratory data evaluation are provided to illustrate MSS functionalities and demonstrate reliability. MSS expands available HRMS data analysis workflows for water quality evaluation and environmental forensics, and is readily integrated with existing capabilities. As an open-source package, we anticipate further development of improved data analysis capabilities in collaboration with interested users.

Project description:MAVEN, an open-source software program for analysis of LC-MS metabolomics data, was originally released in 2010. As mass spectrometry has advanced in the intervening years, MAVEN has been periodically updated to reflect this advancement. This manuscript describes a major update to the program, MAVEN2, which supports LC-MS/MS analysis of metabolomics and lipidomics samples. We have developed algorithms to support MS/MS spectral matching and efficient search of large-scale fragmentation libraries. We explore the ability of our approach to separate authentic from spurious metabolite identifications using a set of standards spiked into water and yeast backgrounds. To support our improved lipid identification workflow, we introduce a novel in-silico lipidomics library covering major lipid classes and compare searches using our novel library to searches with existing in-silico lipidomics libraries. MAVEN2 source code and cross-platform application installers are freely available for download from GitHub under a GNU permissive license [ver 3], as are the in silico lipidomics libraries and corresponding code repository.

Project description:Treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections is dependent on the detection of specific bacterial genes or proteins in clinical assays. Identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is often accomplished through the detection of penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a). With greater dependence on mass spectrometry (MS)-based bacterial identification, complementary efforts to detect resistance have been hindered by the complexity of those proteins responsible. Initial characterization of PBP2a indicates the presence of glycan modifications. To simplify detection, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept tandem MS approach involving the generation of N-terminal PBP2a peptide-like fragments and detection of unique product ions during top-down proteomic sample analyses. This approach was implemented for two PBP2a variants, PBP2amecA and PBP2amecC, and was accurate across a representative panel of MRSA strains with different genetic backgrounds. Additionally, PBP2amecA was successfully detected from clinical isolates using a five-minute liquid chromatographic separation and implementation of this MS detection strategy. Our results highlight the capability of direct MS-based resistance marker detection and potential advantages for implementing these approaches in clinical diagnostics.

Project description:More than half of the mass spectra could not be identified in most proteome mass spectrometry experiments. Various modifications have been considered as a major reason. Open search strategy was then introduced to solve this problem, however, lacking thorough quality assessment using independent information. Here, we used the “Suspicious Discovery Rate (SDR)” based on the translatome sequencing (RNC-seq) as an independent source to assess the proteome open search strategy. We found that the open search strategy increased the spectra utilization with the cost of increasing suspicious identifications that lacks translation evidence. We further suggested that restricting the peptide FDR below 0.1% would efficiently control the suspicious identifications of open search methods and enhanced the confidence of the peptide identification with modifications than the narrow window search. These results facilitated the proper use of open search methods for higher quality of proteome identifications with the information of post-translational modifications and single amino acid polymorphisms

Project description:We present DEIMoS: Data Extraction for Integrated Multidimensional Spectrometry, a Python application programming interface (API) and command-line tool for high-dimensional mass spectrometry data analysis workflows that offers ease of development and access to efficient algorithmic implementations. Functionality includes feature detection, feature alignment, collision cross section (CCS) calibration, isotope detection, and MS/MS spectral deconvolution, with the output comprising detected features aligned across study samples and characterized by mass, CCS, tandem mass spectra, and isotopic signature. Notably, DEIMoS operates on N-dimensional data, largely agnostic to acquisition instrumentation; algorithm implementations simultaneously utilize all dimensions to (i) offer greater separation between features, thus improving detection sensitivity, (ii) increase alignment/feature matching confidence among data sets, and (iii) mitigate convolution artifacts in tandem mass spectra. We demonstrate DEIMoS with LC-IMS-MS/MS metabolomics data to illustrate the advantages of a multidimensional approach in each data processing step.
