Improvement of core-fucosylated glycoproteome coverage via alternating HCD and ETD fragmentation.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

Core-fucosylation (CF) plays important roles in regulating biological processes in eukaryotes. Alterations of CF-glycosites or CF-glycans in bodily fluids correlate with cancer development. Therefore, global research of protein core-fucosylation with an emphasis on proteomics can explain pathogenic and metastasis mechanisms and aid in the discovery of new potential biomarkers for early clinical diagnosis. In this study, a precise and high throughput method was established to identify CF-glycosites from human plasma. We found that alternating HCD and ETD fragmentation (AHEF) can provide a complementary method to discover CF-glycosites. A total of 407 CF-glycosites among 267 CF-glycoproteins were identified in a mixed sample made from six normal human plasma samples. Among
