ProteoMM is a platform for peptide-level differential expression analysis of single or multiple proteomic datasets simultaneously. ProteoMM provides a single p-value and a single effect size estimate for the differences in protein abundances. A test statistic is computed as a sum of F-statistics produced for each individual dataset. A p-value is then estimated via a permutation test as the distribution of the sum of the F-statistics does not have a closed form solution. Simultaneous utilization of all available peptides within proteins in multiple datasets increases statistical power to detect differences among conditions or treatments. In addition, in ProteoMM package, we build on our previous research and provide functionality for normalization, model-based imputation of missing peptide abundances and peptide-level differential protein expression analysis [1, 2].
Currently, combined analysis of multiple datasets is limited to utilizing a multi-dataset t-test [3]. Since in proteomics, protein abundances are measured in terms of the constitutive peptides a t-test would require averaging or “rolling-up” the peptide abundances into protein abundances prior to analysis with a multi-dataset t-test. We have previously shown that such reduction in the number of observations leads to the reduced statistical power and reduced ability to detect differentially expressed proteins [1]. ProteoMM provides a flexible pipeline from raw peptide abundances to protein quantification for multiple as well as single datasets in bottom-up mass spectrometry-based proteomics studies.
This tutorial will walk the readers through an example analysis of two simulated datasets. For function definitions and descriptions please use “?” command in R.

ProteoMM can be installed from Bioconductor:

ProteoMM Pipeline includes six steps, which we suggest are performed in the following order:
\newline
Load Data -> EigenMS Normalization -> Model-Based Imputation -> Model-Based Differential Expression Analysis & Presence/Absence Analysis -> Visualization & Table Output.
\newline
Individual steps such as normalization, imputation or presence/absence analysis can be skipped but care must be taken to assure that peptides passed into Model-Based Differential Expression Analysis step contain a sufficient number of observations.
The example we provide in this tutorial follows the suggested ProteoMM analysis outline in Figure 1 with additional data visualization that we find useful in proteomics data analysis.
\newline
The data used in this example is a subset of a proteomics experiment where peptide IDs (sequences) have been shuffled and protein and gene IDs were replaced by fake 'Prot_#' name. This document provides an example of the code and data structures that are necessary to run Multi-Matrix analysis, including EigenMS normalization, Model-Based imputation and Multi-Matrix statistical analysis.
For non-proteomics data, such as metabolomics data, 2 columns with identical information can be provided.
Start by loading the data and defining the parameter prot.info
, a two column
data framewith IDs for metabolites or peptides in case of matabolites the 2
columns are identical.
For peptides, 1st column must contain unique peptide ID (usually peptide
sequences), 2nd column can contain protein IDs, (not used in EigenMS)
and any other metadata columns that will be propagated through the analysis
pipeline.
Human dataset contains 695 peptides with 13 columns where 6 columns contain intensities and the rest are metadata describing the proteins/peptides. There are six samples with three samples in each of the two treatment groups: CG and mCG.
We replace 0's with NA's and log2 transform the intensities as 0's should not be used in place of the missing observations. Such replacement will severely skew the distribution of intensities and produce invalid differential expression results. For more information see Karpievitch et al. 2009 [1,2].

Model-based imputation uses a statistical model that accounts for the informative missingness in peptide intensities and provides an unbiased, model-based, protein-level differential expression analysis performed at peptide level [1].
Model-based imputation models two missingness mechanisms, one missing completely at random and the other abundance-dependent. Completely random missingness occurs when the fact that a peptide was unobserved in a sample has nothing to do with its abundance or the abundance of any other peptides. This usually affects a small proportion of the peptides considered in the analysis. From our past experience it is near 5% or all observations. Abundance-dependent missingness occurs due to left-censoring, where a peptide is either not present or is present at too low concentration to be detected by the instrument. In this case, we have partial information for the peptide intensity, in that we know it must be less than the rest of the observed peptide intensities.
We need to set up metadata and intensities to use for the imputation. We will impute based on ProtID - position in the matrix for the Protein Identifier. In this example datasets, ProtID and MatchedID can be used interchangeably.

We will do combined model-based differential expression analysis for proteins detected in both mouse and human datasets. For proteins that were only identified in one of the two datasets analysis will be performed for that particular species separately. Combined analysis of multiple datasets will have higher sensitivity to detect differentially expressed proteins due to the increase in the numbers of observations.
Multi Matrix analysis is generalizable to 2 or more datasets thus parallel lists are used to store intensities, metadata, and treatment group information. Second column metadata data frame must be a protein identifier that is present in both datasets. In this simulated dataset ProtIDs as well as matchedID, will match across Human and Mouse, in reality, protein IDs will differ, as human and mouse protein IDs are different for the same protein. Gene IDs will generally differ by only by upper vs. lower case, with a few genes having different IDs for the unknown to us reason. Thus when comparing protein abundances across different organisms ProtID is not a good identifier to use across different organisms, instead, protein IDs can be matched based on Ensembl IDs.
We will start by making parallel lists to pass as parameters to teh differential expression function prot_level_multi_part(). Start by dividing the data into a list of proteins that are common to both datasets (can be more than 2) and proteins present only in one or the other (unique to one or the other). Here we will analyze the proteins that were observed only in one of the datasets, Note that “grps”“ variable is the same for both simulated dataset here, but for useres number and order of samples ned to checked and grps variable set to the appropriate factors for each dataset. Also note that treatment group order should be the same in all datasets. Do not set groups to
contr contr contr treat treat treat
in one sample and
treat treat treat contr contr contr
in the other.

In the Presence-Absence Analysis, we use only proteins that are NOT in the normalized data. For example, some peptides may have been eliminated for some proteins due to many missing values, but if some peptides remained in the Model-Based Differential Expression Analysis, we do not analyze a subset of peptides in the Presence-Absence Analysis as we would obtain 2 p-values. We strongly believe that Model-Based Differential Expression Analysis is a more sensitive approach and thus it is a preferred method of analysis for proteins that have sufficient number of observations in both treatment groups.
