Peptide separation was carried out using high-pH RPLC fractionation based on peptide hydrophobicity. Samples were divided into six fractions using the Agilent 1260 series HPLC system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Briefly, an Accucore™ 150 C18 LC column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 4 μm) was used for fractionation with the high-pH buffer A, B; 10 mM ammonium formate (pH = 10) as mobile phase A and 10 mM ammonium formate in 90% ACN (pH = 10) as mobile phase B. The gradient was as follows: 0–10 min, 5% B; 10–70 min, 35% B; 70–80 min, 70% B; 80–85 min, 70% B; 85–90 min, 5% B; 90–105 min, 5% B. The separated peptides were collected and dried in a speed-vac. Each fraction was desalted with a C18 spin column.
