Abstract
Proteome analysis
Steps
Mass spectrometry data was
analyzed according to a published protocol
Spectra were searched using Proteome Discoverer (RRID:SCR_014477) (https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/IQLAAEGABSFAKJMAUH) software version 2.1 against 2020 mouse UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
(RRID:SCR_021164)( https://www.expasy.org/resources/uniprotkb-swiss-prot) (17,042 target sequences) along with the human α-synuclein protein sequence.
Searching parameters included full tryptic or Asp-N restriction, precursor mass tolerance
(± 20 ppm), and fragment mass tolerance (± 0.05 Da). Serine, threonine, and tyrosine
phosphorylation (+79.9663 Da), methionine oxidation (+15.99492 Da),
asparagine and glutamine deamidation (+0.98402 Da), and protein N-terminal
acetylation (+42.03670 Da) were variable modifications (up to 3 allowed per
peptide); cysteine was assigned a fixed carbamidomethyl modification (+57.021465
Da).
Percolator was used to filter the peptide spectrum matches to a false
discovery rate of 1%.
Gene ontology was analyzed using The Database for Annotation, Visualization and
Integrated Discovery DAVID (RRID:SCR_001881)https://david.ncifcrf.gov/tools.jsp-DAVID977.
Biological processes involving synaptic function were selected for grouping analysis. Functional grouping was based on Fisher’s exact test (p<0.05).
Protein-protein interaction networks were then identified using the STRING (RRID:SCR_005223 ) https://string-db.org//) version 11.5 , and the protein class was determined using PANTHER
(RRID:SCR_004869)( http://www.pantherdb.org/).
