Metaproteomics, utilizing high-throughput LC-MS, offers a profound understanding of microbial communities. Quantitative metaproteomics further enriches this understanding by measuring relative protein abundance and revealing dynamic changes under different conditions. However, the challenge of missing peptide quantification persists in metaproteomics analysis, particularly in data-dependent acquisition mode, where high-intensity precursors for MS2 scans are selected. To tackle this issue, the match-between-runs (MBR) technique is used to transfer peptides between LC-MS runs. Inspired by the benefits of MBR and the need for streamlined metaproteomics data analysis, we developed SEMQuant, an end-to-end software integrating Sipros-Ensemble's robust peptide identifications with IonQuant's MBR function. The experiments show that SEMQuant consistently obtains the highest or second highest number of quantified proteins with notable precision and accuracy. This demonstrates SEMQuant's effectiveness in conducting comprehensive and accurate quantitative metaproteomics analyses across diverse datasets and highlights its potential to propel advancements in microbial community studies.

Cover cropping is an effective method to protect agricultural soils from erosion, promote nutrient and moisture retention, encourage beneficial microbial activity, and maintain soil structure. Re-utilization of winter cover crop root channels by maize roots during summer allows the cash crop to extract resources from distal regions in the soil horizon. In this study, we investigated how cover cropping during winter followed by maize ( L.

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based metaproteomics is used to identify and quantify proteins in microbiome samples, with the frequently used methodology being Data-Dependent Acquisition mass spectrometry (DDA-MS). However, DDA-MS is limited in its ability to reproducibly identify and quantify lower abundant peptides and proteins. To address DDA-MS deficiencies, proteomics researchers have started using Data-Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry (DIA-MS) for reproducible detection and quantification of peptides and proteins.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new software pipeline called metaExpertPro designed for analyzing large-scale mass spectrometry data specifically in metaproteomics, which involves studying proteins from different organisms in a sample.
- The pipeline integrates various functions such as spectral library generation, protein identification, and quantification while being compatible with popular mass spectrometry instruments like Orbitrap and timsTOF.
- Performance tests demonstrated that metaExpertPro outperforms existing tools by identifying more peptides and maintaining a low false discovery rate, while also accurately reflecting microbial diversity and revealing significant interactions in metaproteomic analyses of patients with dyslipidemia.

The gut microbiota offers an extensive resource of enzymes, but many remain uncharacterized. To distinguish the activities of similar annotated proteins and mine the potentially applicable ones in the microbiome, we applied an effective Activity-Based Metaproteomics (ABMP) strategy using a specific activity-based probe (ABP) to screen the entire gut microbiome for directly discovering active enzymes and their potential applications, not for exploring host-microbiome interactions. By using an activity-based cyclophellitol aziridine probe specific to α-galactosidases (AGAL), we successfully identified and characterized several gut microbiota enzymes possessing AGAL activities.
