Abstract
AbstractA major limitation when undertaking quantitative proteomic time-course experimentation is the tradeoff between depth-of-analysis and speed-of-analysis. In high complexity and high dynamic range sample types, such as plant extracts, balance between resolution and time is especially apparent. To address this, we evaluate multiple composition voltage (CV) HighFieldAsymetric WaveformIonMobilitySpectrometry (FAIMSpro) settings using the latest label-free single-shot Orbitrap-based DIA acquisition workflows for their ability to deeply-quantify theArabidopsis thalianaseedling proteome. Using a BoxCarDIA acquisition workflow with a −30 −50 −70 CV FAIMSpro setting we are able to consistently quantify >5000Arabidopsisseedling proteins over a 21-minute gradient, facilitating the analysis of ~42 samples per day. Utilizing this acquisition approach, we then quantified proteome-level changes occurring inArabidopsisseedling shoots and roots over 24 h of salt and osmotic stress, to identify early and late stress response proteins and reveal stress response overlaps. Here, we successfully quantify >6400 shoot and >8500 root protein groups, respectively, quantifying nearly ~9700 unique protein groups in total across the study. Collectively, we pioneer a short gradient, multi-CV FAIMSpro BoxCarDIA acquisition workflow that represents an exciting new analysis approach for undertaking quantitative proteomic time-course experimentation in plants.
