Recent improvements in the speed and sensitivity of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry systems have driven significant progress toward system-wide characterization of the proteome of many species. These efforts create large proteomic datasets that provide insight into biological processes and identify diagnostic proteins whose abundance changes significantly under different experimental conditions. Yet, these system-wide experiments are typically the starting point for hypothesis-driven, follow-up experiments to elucidate the extent of the phenomenon or the utility of the diagnostic marker, wherein many samples must be analyzed. Transitioning from a few discovery experiments to quantitative analyses on hundreds of samples requires significant resources both to develop sensitive and specific methods as well as analyze them in a high-throughput manner. To aid these efforts, we developed a workflow using data acquired from discovery proteomic experiments, retention time prediction, and standard-flow chromatography to rapidly develop targeted proteomic assays. With this workflow, one can target peptides in scheduled/dynamic acquisition methods from a shotgun proteomic dataset downloaded from online repositories, validate with appropriate control samples or standard peptides, and begin analyzing hundreds samples in only a few minutes.
In this work we describe a workflow using data acquired from shotgun proteomic experiments and retention time prediction methods to rapidly develop high-throughput targeted proteomic assays. This workflow simplifies validation of peptides identified from shotgun proteomic experiments and significantly reduces development time of high-throughput quantitative SRM assays. It is enabled by highly reproducible peptide retention times from standard-flow chromatography systems, comprehensive spectral libraries produced from DDA experiments, and tools developed for Skyline, such as the iRT calculator. The workflow is instrument agnostic and performs well by using online resources from other labs to inform target peptide selection
