TLDR
Informed-Proteomics is presented, an open-source software suite for top-down proteomics analysis that consists of an LC-MS feature-finding algorithm, a database search algorithm, and an interactive results viewer that is compared with several other popular tools using human-in-mouse xenograft luminal and basal breast tumor samples.
Abstract
Top-down proteomics, the analysis of intact proteins in their endogenous form, preserves valuable information about post-translation modifications, isoforms and proteolytic processing. The quality of top-down liquid chromatography-tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) data sets is rapidly increasing on account of advances in instrumentation and sample-processing protocols. However, top-down mass spectra are substantially more complex than conventional bottom-up data. New algorithms and software tools for confident proteoform identification and quantification are needed. Here we present Informed-Proteomics, an open-source software suite for top-down proteomics analysis that consists of an LC-MS feature-finding algorithm, a database search algorithm, and an interactive results viewer. We compare our tool with several other popular tools using human-in-mouse xenograft luminal and basal breast tumor samples that are known to have significant differences in protein abundance based on bottom-up analysis.

High-quality MS/MS spectrum prediction for data-dependent and data-independent acquisition data analysis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that machine learning can predict peptide fragmentation patterns in mass spectrometers with accuracy within the uncertainty of measurement, and analysis of the models reveals that peptides fragmentation depends on long-range interactions within a peptide sequence.

Top-Down Proteomics: Ready for Prime Time?

TL;DR: The top-down approach retains in-tact protein mass information, providing a “bird’s-eye” view of the proteome and allowing for identification of novel proteoforms, in-depth sequence characterization, and quantification of disease-associated PTMs.

TopPIC: a software tool for top-down mass spectrometry-based proteoform identification and characterization

TL;DR: Liu et al. as discussed by the authors presented TopPIC, a tool that identifies and characterizes complex proteoforms with unknown primary structure alterations, such as amino acid mutations and post-translational modifications, by searching top-down tandem mass spectra against a protein database.

Target-decoy search strategy for increased confidence in large-scale protein identifications by mass spectrometry

TL;DR: This work clarifies the preferred methodology by addressing four issues based on observed decoy hit frequencies: the major assumptions made with this database search strategy are reasonable, concatenated target-decoy database searches are preferable to separate target and decoydatabase searches, and the theoretical error associated with target-Decoy false positive (FP) rate measurements can be estimated.

Proteoform: a single term describing protein complexity

TL;DR: The term ‘proteoform’ is proposed to be used to designate all of the different molecular forms in which the protein product of a single gene can be found, including changes due to genetic variations, alternatively spliced RNA transcripts and posttranslational modifications.

MS-GF+ makes progress towards a universal database search tool for proteomics.

TL;DR: A database search tool MS-GF+ is presented that is sensitive (it identifies more peptides than most other database search tools) and universal (it works well for diverse types of spectra, different configurations of MS instruments and different experimental protocols), and improves upon the performance of tools specifically designed for these applications.
