Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
• Design a comprehensive standard mixture of heavy-labeled tryptic peptides that can be used as internal standards for proteomics applications. • Widely applicable across human, mouse, and rat proteomes. • Proteotypic in nature. • Utility towards both discovery and targeted proteomics applications.
Study Rationale / Design
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
• Heavy/light peptide ratios will allow for normalization and evaluation for both inter- and intra- sample comparisons. • System suitability of LC-MS/MS performance including benchmarking and reproducibility of LC peptide elution profiles, evaluation of MS sensitivity and dynamic range. • Provide additional control for longitudinal proteomics studies and can be used in interlaboratory studies. • Peptides can be converted into absolute quantitation standards via cleanup, purification, and amino acid analysis.
Study Rationale / Benefits
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
• 1000 stable isotope labeled tryptic peptides conserved across Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus.
• Peptide mixture will be spiked at fixed concentration to a HEK digest at 3 different dilutions (3 orders of magnitude).
• Participants will analyze the samples using LC-MS instrument platform of their choice, report ratios, return the questionnaire and raw data to the sPRG (via study anonymizer or possibly Panorama).
• Spectral library will be constructed, data searched, and peptide ratios determined for all data sets.
• Comparison of ratios, normalization of data, and peptide retention/elution order will be compared across data sets.
Study Design
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)

ABRF Labeled Peptide Standard Mix
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
Using Skyline for AUC analysis
• 1000 peptides + 5 ug HEK lysate
– We decided on AUC analysis as we did not have enough time to develop a scheduled MRM method
– Still possible for someone out there to develop a scheduled MRM method if you want
• Might be a good test for RT prediction algorithms
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
Using Skyline for AUC analysis
• 1 pmol peptide mix spiked into 5 ug HEK 293 lysate
• Set MS1 resolving power at 70K

Precautions
• Skyline’s Isotope Dot Product (idotp) is actually better for the wrong analyte
– This can get a bit tricky when you are analyzing 1000 peptides
– Probably best to not rely on just idotp
– We have found that getting the RT’s correctly in the library really is critical
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
Making a library that has proper RT’s
• This has been very finicky in our hands
• Some workflows work, some don’t
– Different combinations of software all seem to affect this
• Peak List generator (mzML…mzXML….)
• Searching software (x!tandem, Mascot...)
• Meta file has to have the same name as the raw data file (except for the extension)
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
Generating libraries with correct RT’s (our workflow)
• Generate mzML using proteome discoverer
• Combine all peptides into an artificial protein
• Search with x!tandem (turning on the skyline option!)
• Rename the x!tandem output files to extension *.xtan.xml
• Make Library in skyline

MS/MS spectra
• None Acquired for light peptide
• Is this the correct light peptide?
– Probably not
• Next steps
– Need to acquire with an isolation list or a MRM or Data Independent method??? Maybe use a much longer gradient or LC-LC-MS/MS
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
Skyline analysis
• Can take a lot of analysis time to go over 1000 peptides in skyline in full scan mode
• Need to consider adding additional data metrics to reduce need to manually check each integration
• Figuring out if the light peptide of a heavy/light pair is real or interference is a real problem. Especially the more complex your data is.
• sPRG sample is probably too complex to analyze by Full scan in one 2 hour LC-MS/MS run
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
•Progress has been made for the 1st year in development of an innovative proteomics standard.
•Study sample is designed to represent proteins spanning three orders of magnitude in concentration.
•1,000 isotope labeled peptides were synthesized and analyzed. Greater than 99% of the peptides were identified during the validation runs.
•In peptide dilution experiments, the majority of peptides behaved as expected with a linear response; however, a few peptides had a non-linear response.
•The peptides were spiked into a HEK digest and showed minimal variation in both retention time and peak area.
•The sPRG is hopeful that the designed formulation will become a valuable resource in various mass spectrometry-based proteomic applications, including quantitative and differential protein profiling, interlaboratory studies, as well as general LC-MS/MS benchmarking.
Conclusions
Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG)
How to Get a sample
• Samples are limited so be certain you can analyze the sample if you ask for one.
