Abstract
This study presents the Maize PeptideAtlas resource (www.peptideatlas.org/builds/maize) to help solve questions about the maize proteome. Publicly available raw tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data for maize collected from ProteomeXchange were reanalyzed through a uniform processing and metadata annotation pipeline. These data are from a wide range of genetic backgrounds and many sample types and experimental conditions. The protein search space included different maize genome annotations for the B73 inbred line from MaizeGDB, UniProtKB, NCBI RefSeq, and for the W22 inbred line. 445 million MS/MS spectra were searched, of which 120 million were matched to 0.37 million distinct peptides. Peptides were matched to 66.2% of proteins in the most recent B73 nuclear genome annotation. Furthermore, most conserved plastid- and mitochondrial-encoded proteins (NCBI RefSeq annotations) were identified. Peptides and proteins identified in the other B73 genome annotations will improve maize genome annotation. We also illustrate the high-confidence detection of unique W22 proteins. N-terminal acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and three lysine acylations (K-acetyl, K-malonyl, and K-hydroxyisobutyryl) were identified and can be inspected through a PTM viewer in PeptideAtlas. All matched MS/MS-derived peptide data are linked to spectral, technical, and biological metadata. This new PeptideAtlas is integrated in MaizeGDB with a peptide track in JBrowse.
