Abstract
In proteomics, spectral archives organize the enormous amounts of publicly available peptide tandem mass spectra by similarity, offering opportunities for error correction and novel discoveries. Here we adapt an indexing algorithm developed by Facebook for organizing online multimedia resources to tandem mass spectra and achieve practically instantaneous retrieval and clustering of approximate nearest neighbors in a large spectral archive. An interactive web-based graphical user interface enables the user to view a query spectrum in its clustered neighborhood, which facilitates contextual validation of peptide identifications and exploration of the dark proteome.

Abstract
The Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) mass spectrometry data analysis suite has been in continual development and refinement since its first tools, PeptideProphet and ProteinProphet, were published 20 years ago. The current release provides a large complement of tools for spectrum processing, spectrum searching, search validation, abundance computation, protein inference, and more. Many of the tools include machine-learning modeling to extract the most information from data sets and build robust statistical models to compute the probabilities that derived information is correct. Here we present the latest information on the many TPP tools, and how TPP can be deployed on various platforms from personal Windows laptops to Linux clusters and expansive cloud computing environments. We describe tutorials on how to use TPP in a variety of ways and describe synergistic projects that leverage TPP. We conclude with plans for continued development of TPP.

Abstract
Fragmentation ion spectral analysis of chemically cross-linked proteins is an established technology in the proteomics research repertoire for determining protein interactions, spatial orientation, and structure. Here we present Kojak version 2.0, a major update to the original Kojak algorithm, which was developed to identify cross-linked peptides from fragment ion spectra using a database search approach. A substantially improved algorithm with updated scoring metrics, support for cleavable cross-linkers, and identification of cross-links between 15N-labeled homomultimers are among the newest features of Kojak 2.0 presented here. Kojak 2.0 is now integrated into the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline, enabling access to dozens of additional tools within that suite. In particular, the PeptideProphet and iProphet tools for validation of cross-links improve the sensitivity and accuracy of correct cross-link identifications at user-defined thresholds. These new features improve the versatility of the algorithm, enabling its use in a wider range of experimental designs and analysis pipelines. Kojak 2.0 remains open-source and multiplatform.

Abstract
Legionella pneumophila infects eukaryotic cells by forming a replicative organelle - the Legionella containing vacuole. During this process, the bacterial protein DrrA/SidM is secreted and manipulates the activity and post-translational modification (PTM) states of the vesicular trafficking regulator Rab1. As a result, Rab1 is modified with an adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and this process is referred to as AMPylation. Here, we use a chemical approach to stabilise low-affinity Rab:DrrA complexes in a site-specific manner to gain insight into the molecular basis of the interaction between the Rab protein and the AMPylation domain of DrrA. The crystal structure of the Rab:DrrA complex reveals a previously unknown non-conventional Rab-binding site (NC-RBS). Biochemical characterisation demonstrates allosteric stimulation of the AMPylation activity of DrrA via Rab binding to the NC-RBS. We speculate that allosteric control of DrrA could in principle prevent random and potentially cytotoxic AMPylation in the host, thereby perhaps ensuring efficient infection by Legionella.

Abstract
Cross-linking mass spectrometry (MS) has substantially matured as a method over the past 2 decades through parallel development in multiple labs, demonstrating its applicability to protein structure determination, conformation analysis, and mapping protein interactions in complex mixtures. Cross-linking MS has become a much-appreciated and routinely applied tool, especially in structural biology. Therefore, it is timely that the community commits to the development of methodological and reporting standards. This white paper builds on an open process comprising a number of events at community conferences since 2015 and identifies aspects of Cross-linking MS for which guidelines should be developed as part of a Cross-linking MS standards initiative.

Abstract
Protein interactions enable much more complex behavior than the sum of the individual protein parts would suggest and represents a level of biological complexity requiring full understanding when unravelling cellular processes. Cross-linking mass spectrometry has emerged as an attractive approach to study these interactions, and recent advances in mass spectrometry and data analysis software have enabled the identification of thousands of cross-links from a single experiment. The resulting data complexity is, however, difficult to understand and requires interactive software tools. Even though solutions are available, these represent an agglomerate of possibilities, and each features its own input format, often forcing manual conversion. Here we present Cross-ID, a visualization platform that links directly into the output of XlinkX for Proteome Discoverer but also plays well with other platforms by supporting a user-controllable text-file importer. The platform includes features like grouping, spectral viewer, gene ontology (GO) enrichment, post-translational modification (PTM) visualization, domains and secondary structure mapping, data set comparison, previsualization overlap check, and more. Validation of detected cross-links is available for proteins and complexes with known structure or for protein complexes through the DisVis online platform ( http://milou.science.uu.nl/cgi/services/DISVIS/disvis/ ). Graphs are exportable in PDF format, and data sets can be exported in tab-separated text files for evaluation through other software.

Abstract
Protein chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry has become an important technique for the analysis of protein structure and protein-protein interactions. A variety of cross-linkers are well developed, but reliable, rapid, and user-friendly tools for large-scale analysis of cross-linked proteins are still in need. Here we report MetaMorpheusXL, a new search module within the MetaMorpheus software suite that identifies both MS-cleavable and noncleavable cross-linked peptides in MS data. MetaMorpheusXL identifies MS-cleavable cross-linked peptides with an ion-indexing algorithm, which enables an efficient large database search. The identification does not require the presence of signature fragment ions, an advantage compared with similar programs such as XlinkX. One complication associated with the need for signature ions from cleavable cross-linkers such as DSSO (disuccinimidyl sulfoxide) is the requirement for multiple fragmentation types and energy combinations, which is not necessary for MetaMorpheusXL. The ability to perform proteome-wide analysis is another advantage of MetaMorpheusXL compared with programs such as MeroX and DXMSMS. MetaMorpheusXL is also faster than other currently available MS-cleavable cross-link search software programs. It is imbedded in MetaMorpheus, an open-source and freely available software suite that provides a reliable, fast, user-friendly graphical user interface that is readily accessible to researchers.

Abstract
With the advent of new cross-linking chemistries, analytical technologies, and search algorithms, cross-linking has become an increasingly popular strategy for evaluating tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins. Collisional activated dissociation remains the primary MS/MS method for identifications of peptide cross-links in high throughput workflows. Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) at 193 nm has emerged as an alternative ion activation method well-suited for characterization of peptides and has been found in some cases to identify different peptides or provide distinctive sequence information than obtained by collisional activation methods. Complementary high energy collision dissociation (HCD) and UVPD were used in the present study to characterize protein cross-linking for bovine serum albumin, hemoglobin, and E. coli ribosome. Cross-links identified by HCD and UVPD using bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate (BS3), a homobifunctional amine-to-amine cross-linker, and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMTMM), a heterofunctional amine-to-carboxylic acid cross-linker, were evaluated in the present study. While more unique BS3 cross-links were identified by HCD, UVPD, and HCD provided a complementary panel of DMTMM cross-links which extended the degree of structural insight obtained for the proteins.
