Abstract
Affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry (AP?MS) is a robust technique used to identify protein?protein interactions. With recent improvements in sample preparation, and dramatic advances in MS instrumentation speed and sensitivity, this technique is becoming more widely used throughout the scientific community. To meet the needs of research groups both large and small, we have developed software solutions for tracking, scoring and analyzing AP?MS data. Here, we provide details for the installation and utilization of ProHits, a Laboratory Information Management System designed specifically for AP?MS interaction proteomics. This protocol explains: (i) how to install the complete ProHits system, including modules for the management of mass spectrometry files and the analysis of interaction data, and (ii) alternative options for the use of pre?existing search results in simpler versions of ProHits, including a virtual machine implementation of our ProHits Lite software. We also describe how to use the main features of the software to analyze AP?MS data. Curr. Protoc. Bioinform. 39:8.16.1?8.16.32. © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

(B ) Screenshot of ProHits VM running on Linux; Web browser page (Mozilla Firefox) is open. Note the IP address. (C ) Standard Web browser on the host computer (here, Mozilla Firefox on Mac OS X). ProHits Lite VM may be accessed by typing the IP address from panel B into the host computer browser. Other computers on the network can access the VM via the same IP address. Note that the IP address is dynamically generated and only valid for the current session. The VM window should not be closed while ProHits is in use. View Image -

Figure 8.16.9 Search results page. Chain link icons reflect association to a Sample defined in the Analyst module. Search results can be transferred to the Analyst module by selecting “Parse Hits to ProHits Analyst database,” expanding the window by pressing [Detail], and selecting parameters and files when prompted. View Image -
Figure 8.16.10 Creating Baits, Experiments, and Samples. (A ) In the ProHits Analyst module, select a Project, and then select Add Gel‐free Sample under the Create New Entry category. This will prompt you to create an entry from an existing or new Bait. Selecting “new bait” will open a new dialog box (shown here). Minimally, you must specify the bait Gene Symbol and Species (indicated by red stars); pressing the Get Protein Info button will prompt ProHits to retrieve the amino acid sequence from its internal database (right inset). (B ) Once a Bait is created, Experiments can be added. Protocols can be associated with each Experiment, in addition to controlled vocabularies and free‐text annotation. (C ) Samples can be added and annotated. Multiple Samples may be associated with the same Experiment, and multiple Experiments may be associated with the same Bait. View Image -
Figure 8.16.11 Uploading search results. (A ) Once a Bait , Experiment , and Sample have been created, the Upload Search Results function can be used to import search results from the Mascot, X!Tandem, or SEQUEST search engines, or from the Trans‐Proteomic Pipeline (TPP). First, select the desired Sample and click on the Upload button in the Options column. This opens a new window where the file type to upload can be specified, upon which a navigation pane opens. Select the file to be uploaded and the desired filters, and press Submit. (B ) Once search results have been uploaded, the information will be recorded on the upload page. Pressing the graph icon in the Options column will open the Sample Report page. View Image -

The color‐coding maps to quantitative parameters (here number of unique peptides). Links to external databases are provided. Shapes in the individual cells indicate interactions reported in the BioGRID database. View Image -
Figure 8.16.17 Use of Cytoscape Web to visualize interactions detected by AP‐MS directly from ProHits VM. (A ) A Cytoscape Web view of the data (filtered or unfiltered) can be accessed on any of the report pages (individual reports, comparison view or SAINT report) by pressing the Cytoscape icon. Quantitative information embedded in the mass spectrometry file is transferred to Cytoscape Web, either as a node or an edge attribute (examples of the transferred information are listed). (B ) Example of a report page where the Cytoscape Web information can be accessed. (C ) Default view of the Cytoscape Web network from panel B. View Image -
Figure 8.16.18 Exporting peptides. (A ) In the ProHits Peptide Comparison pages (accessed from the protein‐level Comparison page), new functions for exporting peptide information are available. These are identical to the protein‐level export function with the exception that only a single protein is analyzed. (B ) Peptide‐level information available in the [Export(select)] function of ProHits. Note that this export function is available for all proteins in the datasets when looking at the protein comparison page, or for a selected protein, as shown here. (C ) Sample Report: Here, only the deamidated peptides from the protein PRMT5 were exported to a .csv or .tsv file. View Image -
Figure 8.16.19 Using ProHits to run SAINT: data example. (A ) ProHits records all SAINT options, and the list of the samples and controls used to run SAINT, for reporting purposes. (B ) Screenshot of the SAINT Comparison page of ProHits. A number of display options and filters are available. Manually excluded hits are left on the list, but are grayed out. (C ) Screenshot of the Excel document resulting from the Export(table) option in panel B. Note that all filters used are detailed and that the proteins that were manually removed from the list are clearly listed (by Genbank Identifier) for increased transparency in reporting. View Image -
