Fast and comprehensive N- and O-glycoproteomics analysis with MSFragger-Glyco.

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in methods for enrichment and mass spectrometric analysis of intact glycopeptides have produced large-scale glycoproteomics datasets, but interpreting these data remains challenging. We present MSFragger-Glyco, a glycoproteomics mode of the MSFragger search engine, for fast and sensitive identification of N- and O-linked glycopeptides and open glycan searches. Reanalysis of recent N-glycoproteomics data resulted in annotation of 80% more glycopeptide spectrum matches (glycoPSMs) than previously reported. In published O-glycoproteomics data, our method more than doubled the number of glycoPSMs annotated when searching the same glycans as the original search, and yielded 4- to 6-fold increases when expanding searches to include additional glycan compositions and other modific
