RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 DIALib: an automated ion library generator for data independent acquisition mass spectrometry analysis of peptides and glycopeptides JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 696518 DO 10.1101/696518 A1 Toan K. Phung A1 Lucia F Zacchi A1 Benjamin L. Schulz YR 2019 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2019/07/10/696518.abstract AB Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) Mass Spectrometry (MS) workflows allow unbiased measurement of all detectable peptides from complex proteomes, but require ion libraries for interrogation of peptides of interest. These DIA ion libraries can be theoretical or built from peptide identification data from Data Dependent Acquisition (DDA) MS workflows. However, DDA libraries derived from empirical data rely on confident peptide identification, which can be challenging for peptides carrying complex post-translational modifications. Here, we present DIALib, software to automate the construction of peptide and glycopeptide Data Independent Acquisition ion Libraries. We show that DIALib theoretical ion libraries can identify and measure diverse N- and O-glycopeptides from yeast and mammalian glycoproteins without prior knowledge of the glycan structures present. We also show that DIALib libraries consisting only of glycan oxonium ions can quickly and easily provide a global glycosylation profile of the “oxoniome” of glycoproteomes. DIALib also enables the study of post-translational modifications beyond glycosylation, in isolation or combination, in complex proteomes from diverse biological and clinical samples.
