INTRODUCTION
Mitochondria are essential organelles for the regulation of cell life and death. Literature suggests the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in many human diseases, some strictly linked to mutations in the mitochondrial genome, and others someway connected to
mitochondrial functionality by proteins sequence defects. At the same time, proteins possibly related to mitochondrial function await validation at the transcript and protein level. A novel hybrid acquisition mode, named Multi-Mode Acquisition, which is the product from combining of DDA and DIA in a single experiment, and associated analysis tools, are described for the analysis of the mitochondrial complement. A dramatic fragmentation spectra quality increase was observed, which in turns improves confidence and coverage of identifications compared to conventional acquisition and processing modes.

METHODS
Sample preparation
Mitochondia were isolated from various human cell line sample as shown in Figure 1. Following solubulisation and wall
disruption in the presence of Rapigest, proteins were reduced/alkylated and trypsin digested. The following 1D gel fractions
were analysed in detail, HeLa fractions 9 to 12, U2OS fractions 7, 8 and 9, and SHSY fractions 6, 7 and 9 (all centering around
~ 50 KDa protein Mw).
LC-MS conditions
Nanoscale LC separation of tryptic peptides was conducted
with a trap column configuration using an M-class system and a 2 h gradient from 5-40% ACN (0.1% FA) at 300 nl/min using
a BEH 1.7 µm C18 reversed phase 75 µm x 20 cm nanoscale LC column. MS data were acquired in top 20 data dependent
analysis (DDA) and in ion mobility enabled data independent analysis mode (LC-IM-DIA-MS ((U)(H)DMSE) using a Synapt
G2-Si instrument (Waters Corporation, Wilmslow, UK).
Informatics
Data were processed and deconvoluted with research software
and searched with Mascot Server v2.5.1 (Matrix Science, London, UK) as illustrated by the right hand (green) compo-
nents of the Multi-Mode Acquisition (MMA) workflow shown in Figure 2. De-multiplexed IM-DIA spectra were visualized with
xiSPEC (University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom). The de-multiplexing process using spectral information from different
parts of the MMS data streams and complementary samples is explained in Figure 3.

RESULTS
A detailed example of the de-multiplexing process for a single
protein is show in Figure 4, showing from top the bottom the
original spectra identified from the data streams searched independently and additional IM-DIA spectra identified by
inter/intra combination and multidimensional (tr, td, m/z and intensity) de-multiplexing DDA and IM-DIA data.
CONCLUSION
Multi-mode acquisition methods afford the ability to
assign multi-dimensional ion properties across data
dependent and data independent data streams
Enhanced multi-mode acquisition processing tools
allow for improved charge state assignment, ion interference reduction, and the de-multiplexing of
chimeric data dependent and data independent spectra
Qualitative sequence coverage and quantitative
accuracy were both enhanced using the collective ion
properties from all data streams and samples
On average a 2.1 fold increase in number of peptides,
a 1.7 fold increase in number of proteins, and a 50% reduction in AUC quantitation was observed

coverage for HeLa 1D fractions 9 to 12 acquired in DDA and MMA modes of acquisitions, and complementary analyses
across all data streams and different human cell lines. DDA* = MMA processed DDA; IM-DIA* = MMA processed IM-DIA. The
MMA software tools allows for DDA product ion spectra to be swept across the IM-DIA data and vice versa. Inclusion of the
secondary data streams from the SHSY (S) and U2OS (U) cell line samples, following the same process, allows for a further
increase in sequence coverage.
