Sequence Database Search
• No need for complete ladders• Possible to model all known peptide
fragments• Sequence permutations eliminated• All candidates have some biological
relevance• Practical for high-throughput peptide
identification• Correct peptide might be missing from
database!

27
Peptide Candidate Filtering
• Digestion Enzyme: Trypsin• Cuts just after K or R unless followed by a
P.• Basic residues (K & R) at C-terminal
attract ionizing charge, leading to strong y-ions
• “Average” peptide length about 10-15 amino-acids
• Must allow for “missed” cleavage sites

Peptide Scoring
• Peptide fragments vary based on• The instrument• The peptide’s amino-acid sequence• The peptide’s charge state• Etc…
• Search engines model peptide fragmentation to various degrees. • Speed vs. sensitivity tradeoff• y-ions & b-ions occur most frequently
• The scores have no apriority “scale”
![Page 35: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Peptide Identification
• High-throughput workflows demand we analyze all spectra, all the time.
• Spectra may not contain enough information to be interpreted correctly• ...cell phone call drops in and out
• Spectra may contain too many irrelevant peaks• …bad static
• Peptides may not match our assumptions• …its all Greek to me
• “Don’t know” is an acceptable answer!

Peptide Identification
• Incorrect peptide has best score• Correct peptide is missing?• Potential for incorrect conclusion• What score ensures no incorrect
peptides?• Correct peptide has weak score
• Insufficient fragmentation, poor score• Potential for weakened conclusion• What score ensures we find all correct
peptides?
![Page 40: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Statistical Significance
• Can’t prove particular identifications are right or wrong...• ...need to know fragmentation in advance!
• A minimal standard for identification scores...• ...better than guessing.• p-value, E-value, statistical significance
![Page 41: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Random Peptide Models
• "Generate" random peptides• Real looking fragment masses• No theoretical model!• Must use empirical distribution• Usually require they have the correct
precursor mass
• Score function can model anything we like!
![Page 42: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

44
Random Peptide Models
• Truly random peptides don’t look much like real peptides• Just use (incorrect) peptides from the sequence
database!
• Caveats:• Correct peptide (non-random) may be included• Homologous incorrect peptides may be
included• (Incorrect) peptides are not independent
![Page 45: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Extrapolating from the Empirical Distribution
• Often, the empirical shape is consistent with a theoretical model
Geer et al., J. Proteome Research, 2004 Fenyo & Beavis, Anal. Chem., 2003
![Page 46: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
False Positive Rate Estimation
• A form of statistical significance
• Search engine independent• Easy to implement
• Assumes a single threshold for all spectra• Best if E-value or similar is used to compute a
spectrum normalized score
![Page 47: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
False Positive Rate Estimation
• Each spectrum is a chance to be right, wrong, or inconclusive.• At any given threshold, how many peptide
identifications are wrong?• Computed for an entire spectral dataset
• Given identification criteria:• SEQUEST Xcorr, E-value, Score, etc., plus...• ...threshold
• Use “decoy” sequences • random, reverse, cross-species• Identifications must be incorrect!
![Page 48: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Decoy Search Strategies
• Concatenated target & decoy• “Competition” for best hit...• Masks good decoy scores due to spectral variation
• Separate searches• Cleaner estimation of false hit distribution• More conservative than concatenation
• Must ensure:• Decoy searches do not change target peptide scores• Single score distribution across dataset
![Page 49: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Decoy Search Strategies
• Reversed Decoys• Captures redundancy of peptide sequences• Susceptible to mass-shift anomalies• Bad choice for protein-level statistics
• Shuffled & Random Decoys• Multiple independent decoys can be created.• Better estimation of tail probabilities• More conservative than reversed decoys
![Page 50: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
False Positive Rate Estimation: Concatenated Target & Decoy
1. Choose a threshold t.
2. Count # of (rank 1) target ids (Tt) with score ≥ t.3. Count # of (rank 1) decoy ids (Dt) with score ≥ t.
4. Compute FPR = ( 2 x Dt ) / ( Tt + Dt )
Principle:• Decoy peptides equally likely as false hits at rank 1
Issues:• What to do with decoy hits?• Change in database size may affect scores

False Positive Rate Estimation: Separate Decoy Search
1. Choose a threshold t.
2. Count # of (rank 1) target ids (Tt) with score ≥ t.3. Count # of (rank 1) decoy ids (Dt) with score ≥ t.
4. Compute FPR = Dt / Tt
Principle:• Find the distribution of false hit scores, apply to target
Issues:• Can choose to merge after the fact...• Decoy search cannot change target scores• A few good decoy scores can inflate small FDR values

• Re-analysis of SEQUEST results• Spectrum dependant scores (XCorr) + • Additional features form discriminant
score
• Assumes that many of the spectra are not correctly identified• These identifications act like decoy hits

Peptides to Proteins
• A peptide sequence may occur in many different protein sequences• Variants, paralogues, protein families
• Separation, digestion and ionization is not well understood
• Proteins in sequence database are extremely non-random, and very dependent
• No great tools for assessing statistical confidence of protein identifications.

Sequence Database SearchTraps and Pitfalls
Search options may eliminate the correct peptide• Precursor mass tolerance too small• Fragment m/z tolerance too small• Incorrect precursor ion charge state• Non-tryptic or semi-tryptic peptide• Incorrect or unexpected modification• Sequence database too conservative• Unreliable taxonomy annotation
![Page 66: Protein Identification by Sequence Database Search](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815470550346895dc28675/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Sequence Database SearchTraps and Pitfalls
Search options can cause infinite search times
• Variable modifications increase search times exponentially
• Non-tryptic search increases search time by two orders of magnitude
• Large sequence databases contain many irrelevant peptide candidates

Sequence Database SearchTraps and Pitfalls
Best available peptide isn’t necessarily correct!
• Score statistics (e-values) are essential!• What is the chance a peptide could score this
well by chance alone?• The wrong peptide can look correct if the
right peptide is missing!• Need scores (or e-values) that are invariant
to spectrum quality and peptide properties

Sequence Database SearchTraps and Pitfalls
Search engines often make incorrect assumptions about sample prep
• Proteins with lots of identified peptides are not more likely to be present
• Peptide identifications do not represent independent observations
• All proteins are not equally interesting to report

Sequence Database SearchTraps and Pitfalls
Good spectral processing can make a big difference
• Poorly calibrated spectra require large m/z tolerances
• Poorly baselined spectra make small peaks hard to believe
• Poorly de-isotoped spectra have extra peaks and misleading charge state assignments

Summary
• Protein identification from tandem mass spectra is a key proteomics technology.
• Protein identifications should be treated with healthy skepticism.• Look at all the evidence!
• Spectra remain unidentified for a variety of reasons.
