TMTpro-18plex: The Expanded and Complete Set of TMTpro Reagents for Sample Multiplexing

ABSTRACT: The development of the TMTpro-16plex series expanded the breadth of commercial isobaric tagging reagents by nearly 50% over classic TMT-11plex. In addition to the described 16plex reagents, the proline-based TMTpro molecule can accommodate two additional combinations of heavy carbon and nitrogen isotopes. Here, we introduce the final two labeling reagents, TMTpro-134C and TMTpro-135N, which permit the simultaneous global protein profiling of 18 samples with no missing values. For example, six conditions with three biological replicates can now be perfectly accommodated. We showcase the 18plex reagent set by profiling the proteome and phosphoproteome of a pair of isogenic breast cancer cell lines under three conditions in triplicate. We compare the depth and quantitative performance of this dataset with a TMTpro-16plex experiment in which two samples were omitted. Our analysis revealed similar numbers of quantified peptides and proteins, with high quantitative correlation. We interrogated further the TMTpro-18plex dataset by highlighting changes in protein abundance profiles under different conditions in the isogenic cell lines. We conclude that TMTpro-18plex further expands the sample multiplexing landscape, allowing for complex and innovative experimental designs.
