LC-TOF MS Raw Data

Positional scanning peptide library data, relevant to Figure 4a

Description: The files listed below contain raw data from LC-TOF MS experiments in which a positional scanning peptide library of E. coli MccA (MRTGNAN) (140 peptides in total) was treated with E. coli MccB and ATP. Details are described in Methods. Files are organized by peptide position: for example MccA-M1X corresponds to the panel of peptides in which methionine 1 was substituted with every other canonical amino acid. Each zip file contains three replicates each of twenty experiments corresponding to the indicated position containing each proteinogenic amino acid in Agilent .d format.

Naming: Within the zip file corresponding to each position, the naming convention lists the peptide variant followed by the replicate number. No enzyme controls list the peptide variant, followed by 'noEnz' followed by the replicate number. For example, M1A1.d is replicate 1 of a reaction that contained MccB, ATP, and MccA-M1A, while M1CnoEnz2. d is replicate 2 of a reaction that contained ATP and MccA-M1C, but no MccB.

Naming: Within the zip file, the individual files are named according to the nucleophile that was screened, followed by either 'full' for reactions that contained MccB or 'noE' for no-enzyme controls, followed by the replicate number. For example 'allylamine full 2.d' corresponds to replicate 2 of a reaction that contained MccB, ATP, and allylamine.

Code/software

Plasmids maps in GenBank format can be imported into Benchling, an electronic lab notebook program, and analyzed. They are also compatible with many other softwares for editing plasmid maps (e.g., ApE, SnapGene).

Agilent .d files can be opened using Agilent MassHunter Qualitative Analysis 10.0. Our workflow involved viewing MS data at specific points in the chromatogram and generated extracted ion chromatograms using built-in features of the software.
