Project description:We quantified the protein abundances of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mpn), a genome-reduced organism, by combining selected reaction monitoring of a reduced set of labeled peptides and label-free shotgun mass spectrometry. A set of 77 labeled peptides were synthesized and used as internal standard peptides to precisely and quantitatively measure the absolute concentrations of proteins in a tandem mass spectrometer [1]. The heavy peptides were chosen based on tryptic peptides of endogenous proteins previously observed in mass spectrometry experiments and that covered more than a 1000-fold range of protein concentrations. Three time points of Mpn growth curve (48, 72 and 96 hours) and the heavy peptides were injected per triplicates in order to calculate the endogenous amount of each peptide (single reference point quantitation) [2], resulting in the absolute quantification of 73 reference proteins. A calibration curve between the absolute amount of reference proteins and the proteome-wide protein intensities allowed the estimation of absolute protein abundances for all detected proteins [3]. In order to further improve the quantification, four additional label-free mass spectrometry datasets of Mpn [4] using different protein extraction methods, from a previous project, were combined with the original dataset, which allowed to quantify the abundances of 528 proteins (75% of the proteome of Mpn). 1.
