Integrated approach for manual evaluation of peptides identified by searching protein sequence databases with tandem mass spectra

Abstract
Quantitative proteomics relies on accurate protein identification, which often is carried out by automated searching of a sequence database with tandem mass spectra of peptides. When these spectra contain limited information, automated searches may lead to incorrect peptide identifications. It is therefore necessary to validate the identifications by careful manual inspection of the mass spectra. Not only is this task time-consuming, but the reliability of the validation varies with the experience of the analyst. Here, we report a systematic approach to evaluating peptide identifications made by automated search algorithms. The method is based on the principle that the candidate peptide sequence should adequately explain the observed fragment ions. Also, the mass errors of neighboring fragments should be similar. To evaluate our method, we studied tandem mass spectra obtained from tryptic digests of E. coli and HeLa cells. Candidate peptides were identified with the automated search engine Mascot and subjected to the manual validation method. The method found correct peptide identifications that were given low Mascot scores (e.g., 20-25) and incorrect peptide identifications that were given high Mascot scores (e.g., 40-50). The method comprehensively detected false results from searches designed to produce incorrect identifications. Comparison of the tandem mass spectra of synthetic candidate peptides to the spectra obtained from the complex peptide mixtures confirmed the accuracy of the evaluation method. Thus, the evaluation approach described here could help boost the accuracy of protein identification, increase number of peptides identified, and provide a step toward developing a more accurate next-generation algorithm for protein identification.
