Glycoproteomic Analyses of Influenza A Viruses Using timsTOF Pro MS.

ABSTRACT: N-Linked glycosylation in hemagglutinin and neuraminidase glycoproteins of influenza viruses affects antigenic and receptor binding properties, and precise analyses of site-specific glycoforms in these proteins are critical in understanding the antigenic and immunogenic properties of influenza viruses. In this study, we developed a glycoproteomic approach by using a timsTOF Pro mass spectrometer (MS) to determine the abundance and heterogeneity of site-specific glycosylation for influenza glycoproteins. Compared with a Q Exactive HF MS, the timsTOF Pro MS method without the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography column enrichment achieved similar glycopeptide coverage and quantities but was more effective in identifying low-abundance glycopeptides. We quantified the distribut
