Abstract
The data article reports data of the proteins expressed in female Anopheles stephensi salivary glands. Proteomic data were acquired using high-resolution mass spectrometers - Orbitrap-Velos and Orbitrap-Elite. Samples derived from adult female A. stephensi salivary glands led to the identification of 4390 proteins. Mass spectrometry data were analyzed on Proteome Discoverer (Version 2.1) platform with Sequest and Mascot search engines. The identified proteins were analyzed for their Gene Ontology annotation, interaction network and their possible roles in vector-parasite interaction. The data provided here are related to our published article “Integrating transcriptomics and proteomics data for accurate assembly and annotation of genomes” (Prasad et al., 2017) [1].

1. Data
To identify the proteins expressed inside the female Anopheles stephensi mosquito salivary glands, we carried out proteomic profiling of salivary glands dissected from sugar fed female A. stephensi (Liston strain) mosquitoes using high-resolution mass spectrometers (Fig. 1). Proteins extracted from samples were fractionated at protein level using SDS-PAGE and peptide level using basic reverse phase liquid chromatograhy (bRPLC). Fractions were then analyzed on a high-resolution mass spectrometry which resulted in the acquisition of 399,827 tandem mass spectra. These spectra were then searched against a protein database of A. stephensi leading to the identification of 275,522 peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) corresponding to 38,026 unique peptides belonging to 4390 proteins. The complete list of identified proteins is provided in Supplementary Table S1.

2. Experimental design, materials and methods
2.1. Maintenance of mosquito colony
A. stephensi mosquitoes were maintained in the insectary at National Institute of Malaria Research, Field Station Goa as continuous cyclic colony at 27 ± 2 °C, 75% relative humidity and cycle of 12 h in light and 12 h in darkness. The adult female mosquitoes were fed on 10% glucose solution. Salivary glands were dissected in 0.65% normal saline under dissecting microscope and stored at −80 °C until further use.
2.2. Protein extraction
Homogenization of the dissected salivary glands was carried out using a probe sonicator in 200 µl of 1% SDS. The lysate was centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C and supernatant was collected. Protein quantification was carried out according to modified Lowry׳s method (Bio-Rad DC Protein assay) and normalized on 10% SDS-PAGE.
2.3. Fractionation
Proteins extracted from salivary glands were fractionated at both protein- and peptide-level as discussed previously [1], [2], [3], [4]. Fractionation at the protein-level was carried out with 300 µg of protein on 10% SDS_PAGE and 24 bands excised after Coomassie blue staining. Excised bands were reduced and alkylated with dithiothreitol (DTT) and iodoacetamide (IAA), respectively. Trypsin digestion was carried out overnight at 37 °C using sequencing grade trypsin (Promega). Digested peptides were extracted and stored at −20 °C.
Peptide-level fractionation was carried out with 500 µg of protein, which was reduced and alkylated prior to trypsin digestion at 37 °C for 16 h. Prior to bRPLC fractionation, digested peptides were cleaned using Sepak C18 column and lyophilized. The lyophilized peptides were reconstituted in bRPLC solvent A (10 mM triethyl ammonium bicarbonate (TEABC) in water at, pH ~9.5), loaded on XBridge C18, 5 µm 250 × 4.6 mm column (Waters, Milford, MA) connected to Agilent 1100 series HPLC system. The digested peptides were resolved using a gradient of 5% to 100% solvent B (10 mM TEABC in Acetonitrile, pH 9.5) in 70 min. Peptides were collected in a 96 well plate and then concatenated into 26 fractions. Fractions were dried and reconstituted in 0.1% formic acid prior to mass spectrometric analysis.
2.4. Mass spectrometry analysis
The fractions were reconstituted in 0.1% formic-acid prior to mass spectrometry analysis. Fractions were analyzed on LTQ-Orbitrap Velos and LTQ-Orbitrap-Elite mass spectrometers (Thermo Scientific, Bremen, Germany) interfaced with Easy-nLCII (Thermo Scienific, Bremen, Germany). Peptides were initially enriched on a reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) pre-column (2 cm, 5 μ–100 Ǻ), followed by separation on an analytical column (11 cm, 3 μ–100 Ǻ) packed in-house with magic AQ C18 material (Michrom Bioresources, Inc, Auburn, CA). The solvent system used included 0.1% aqueous formic acid as solvent A and 95% acetonitrile,0.1% formic acid as solvent B. The peptides were loaded on to the trap column using solvent A, followed by resolution on the analytical column using a gradient of 10–35% solvent B for 75 min at a constant flow rate of 0.25 μL/min. The spray voltage and heated capillary temperature were set to 2.0 kV and 220 °C. Acquisition of data in mass spectrometer was carried out in a data dependent manner with a full scan in the range of m/z 350–2000. MS and MS/MS were acquired and measured using Orbitrap mass analyzer. Full MS scans were measured at a resolution 30,000 at m/z 400 and fifteen most intense precursors were selected for MS/MS fragmentation. Fragmentation of peptides were carried out using higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) method and detection range set at a mass resolution of 15,000 at m/z 400. The automatic gain control (AGC) for full FTMS was set to 1 million ions and for FT MS/MS was set to 0.1 million ions with maximum accumulation time of 100 ms and 200 ms.
2.5. Functional categorization and prediction of interaction map
Categorization of the identified proteins was performed by fetching information provided in the Panther database [5] and Cytoscape [6]. Both Panther database and Cluego [7] plugin in Cytoscape has identifiers only for Anopheles gambiae, we therefore, fetched the A. gambiae orthologs for the identified A. stephensi proteins using Biomart tool (version 0.7) [8] provided through VectorBase [9] (Supplementary Table S2). These A. gambiae identifiers were then used to fetch the Gene Ontology information. Cluepedia [10] plugin in Cytoscape was used to for the generation of the association map between genes and their biological processes.
Protein–protein interaction map of the identified proteins was generated using STRING (Search Tool for the Retrieval Interacting Genes/Proteins) online tool (version 10.5).plugin (version 1.1.0) [11].
2.6. Data analysis
The mass spectrometry derived data were searched against a database of 11,789 A. stephensi proteins obtained from VectorBase. The database search workflow consisted of SEQUEST and MASCOT search engines incorporated in the Proteome Discoverer suite, version 2.1 (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Bremen, Germany). Trypsin was used as the enzyme with a single missed cleavage allowed and a minimum peptide length of 6 amino acids. Modifications on peptides were set to static for carbamidomethylation of cysteine and variable for oxidation of methionine. Results were generated using a 1% false discovery rate (FDR) at the peptide level.
The proteins identified were analyzed for their role in biological processes, molecular functions and their location in cellular components. Majority of the identified proteins belonged to the protein class of nucleic acid binding proteins (17.4%), hydrolases (17.1%), transferases (9.3%) and oxidoreductases (8.5%). Functional annotations categorized the identified proteins to be associated with biological processes such as cellular processes (32.4%), metabolism (29.2%), and localization (10%). The major processes and functions of the identified salivary glands proteins have been illustrated in (Fig. 2) and a detailed Gene Ontology categorization of the identified proteins are provided in Supplementary Table S3.

Certain genes in mosquitoes have been studied for their associated role as agonist or antagonist in vector-parasite interactions through gene knockdown experiments [12]. We observed 31 of such proteins to be expressed in the A. stephensi salivary glands. Among these, 30 proteins were also identified in midgut, fatbody, ovary and brain [1], [13], [14], [15]. We observed the expression of ASTEI03572 gene to be enriched only in the A. stephensi salivary glands. The A. gambiae ortholog (AGAP000151) for ASTEI03572 has been observed to show increased expression in response to blood-feeding and Plasmodium infection. The list of proteins identified in salivary glands that mapped to the list of proteins with experimentally proven roles in parasite development inside the mosquito is provided in Supplementary Tables S4 and S5 (Fig. 3). Development and transmission of the Plasmodium parasite is regulated by the immunological processes occurring inside the mosquito. Immunodb database provides information on immune-related gene families. Eighty-one proteins identified in salivary glands were found to have probable role in the generation of mosquito related immune responses. The list of proteins mapping to Immunodb along with their associated biological processes are provided in Supplementary Tables S6 and S7 (Fig. 4). To elucidate the interaction potential of the identified proteins in the salivary glands, we selected 1,006 proteins with a minimum of 10 PSMs and at least 10 unique peptides for a higher confident data. A predicted interaction map for the selected proteins was generated using Online STRING tool (Fig. 5, Supplementary Table S8).
