Discovery of protein modifications using high resolution differential mass spectrometry proteomics

This dataset contains processed files generated in the analyses described in "Discovery of protein modifications using high resolution differential mass spectrometry proteomics" by Cifani, Zhi, Luo et al., describing SAMPEI, a spectral alignment method for the identification of protein modifications using high-resolution mass spectrometry proteomics.

Using synthetic standards and controlled chemical labeling experiments, we demonstrate high specificity and sensitivity of SAMPEI for the discovery of sub-stoichiometric protein modifications in complex cellular extracts. SAMPEI mapping of mouse macrophage differentiation revealed diverse post-translational protein modifications, including distinct forms of cysteine itaconatylation. SAMPEI is implemented as a Python package, and is available from BioConda and GitHub (https://github.com/FenyoLab/SAMPEI).

The dataset is divided in 3 set of files:

1. Agnostic_discovery_benchmarking.zip file contains analyses performed to establish relative sensitivity and specificity of agnostic PTM discovery (Figure 2, Figure S3).

2. Chemoproteomics_of_LPS_stimulated_macrophages.zip file contains RAW264.7 cell proteomics identification results from X!tandem and SAMPEI (Figure 3, Figures S4-S7).

3. Itaconate_adducts_validation.zip file contains analysis to confirm cystein adducts produced by itaconic acid (Figure 5, Figures S8-S12).
