The conserved RNA-binding protein, Hfq, has multiple regulatory roles within the prokaryotic cell, including promoting stable duplex formation between small RNAs and mRNAs, and thus hfq deletion mutants have pleiotropic phenotypes. Previous proteome and transcriptome studies of Neisseria meningitidis have generated limited insight into differential gene expression due to Hfq loss. In this study, reversed-phase liquid chromatography combined with data-independent alternate scanning mass spectrometry (LC-MSE) was utilized for rapid high-resolution quantitative proteomic analysis to further elucidate the differentially expressed proteome of a meningococcal hfq deletion mutant. Whole-cell lysates of N. meningitidis serogroup B H44/76 wild-type (wt) and H44/76 Delta hfq (Delta hfq) grown in liquid growth medium were subjected to tryptic digestion. The resulting peptide mixtures were separated by liquid chromatography (LC) prior to analysis by mass spectrometry (MSE). Differential expression was analyzed by Student's t-test with control for false discovery rate (FDR). Reliable quantitation of relative expression comparing wt and Delta hfq was achieved with 506 proteins (20%). Upon FDR control at q
