Hi Alberto and Luis,

After reading your posts, I think that you could help me.

At this time, I'm using TPP for iTRAQ quantitation after a search with X!Tandem as you did. I'm facing some problems with the time of the search. In my case, I use 1 static modification and I'd like to include seven others potential modifications. With only one static and one or two potential, it's quite faste (around 20-30 min on my system 2 processors, 8 virtual cores). As soon as I increase the number of potential modif the time increase dramatically. Did you observe such issue ? If not, do you use a refinement search ?

I'm wondering if it's only a matter of power of my computer or if it's rather due to X!Tandem algorithm.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi Luis,

 thanks for the useful insight, I guess for iTRAQ(8) we need to use

<note>residue modification parameters</note>
<note type="input" label="residue, modification mass">46.9955457863@C,
304.205360@[,304.205360@K</note>
<note type="input" label="residue, potential modification
mass">15.994915@M,304.205360@Y</note>

is that correct? thanks a lot,

Alberto

    Hello Marcus,
    As luck would have it, I just had to conduct analysis of an
    iTRAQ(8) sample using X!Tandem.

    First, there is unfortunately no GUI to set the parameters for the
    search, at least within the TPP.

    Do make sure that you specify the appropriate modifications based
    on the chemistry you used to prepare the peptides. Other than
    alkylation and MMTS, you should add the isobaric mass tag to all
    peptides -- typically at the N-term as well as Lysines, but this
    might depend on the exact protocol you followed.  Add the
    following to the "residue, modification mass" tag:
    144.102063@[,144.102063@K .  A less abundant potential
    modification on Y might be useful to add, under "residue,
    potential modification mass", include 144.102063@Y , as well as
    any other potential mods (e.g. Oxidized M, etc).

    Also, note that the iTRAQ8-plex reagent has a very different mass
    (304.205360), should you ever use that label.

    The standard xtandem/k-score parameters that we ship with the TPP
    already exclude fragment ions lower than 125.0 Daltons; you can
    change this parameter by adding the following line to your params
    file, just replace the value with your desired minimum m/z:

    <note type="input" label="spectrum, minimum fragment mz">125.0</note>

    Hope this helps with your searches,
    --Luis

        Hi!

        I wish to run some iTRAQ labeled data through the TPP using
        the embedded search engine xtandem! The peptides have been
        alkylated using MMTS and labeled with the iTRAQ 4-plex
        (114-117). The data was acquired on a Waters Synapt using DDA
        mode. I have converted the .raw data to both mzML and mxXML
        format and thus have the data in the format ready to use for
        the database searching. My question regards how to define the
        search tandem parameter file to be set up using isobaric
        labeling?

        Firstly, the default parameter file is set up for
        carbamidomethylation but I need to change it to MMTS which I
        assume just needs to be changed from

        <note label="residue, modification mass"
        type="input">57.021464@C</note>

        into

        <note label="residue, modification mass"
        type="input">45.987721@C</note>


        But how do I define the search for iTRAQ? I assume, a mass
        addition for the isobaric label is needed for the MS scan as
        well as a exclusion of 114-117 in the MS/MS scan is needed? Is
        there any easy way of doing this? Is there a GUI to define the
        correct search settings for this that works with the xtandem
        in TPP? I would greatly appreciate any help on this topic!

        Sincerely,
        Marcus Sjödin
