Abstract

Post-translational modifications are an area of great interest in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, with a surge in methods to detect them in recent years. However, post-translational modifications can introduce complexity into proteomics searches by fragmenting in unexpected ways, ultimately hindering the detection of modified peptides. To address these deficiencies, we present a fully automated method to find diagnostic spectral features for any modification. The features can be incorporated into proteomics search engines to improve modified peptide recovery and localization. We show the utility of this approach by interrogating fragmentation patterns for a cysteine-reactive chemoproteomic probe, RNA-crosslinked peptides, sialic acid-containing glycopeptides, and ADP-ribosylated peptides. We also analyze the interactions between a diagnostic ion’s intensity and its statistical properties. This method has been incorporated into the open-search annotation tool PTM-Shepherd and the FragPipe computational platform.
