Project description:Core fucosylation of N-linked glycoproteins has been linked to the functions of glycoproteins in physiological and pathological processes. However, quantitative characterization of core fucosylation remains challenging due to the complexity and heterogeneity of N-linked glycosylation. Here we report a mass spectrometry-based method that employs sequential treatment of intact glycopeptides with enzymes (STAGE) to analyze site-specific core fucosylation of glycoproteins. The STAGE method utilizes Endo F3 followed by PNGase F treatment to generate mass signatures for glycosites that are formerly modified by core fucosylated N-linked glycans. We benchmark the STAGE method and use it to characterize site specific core fucosylation of glycoproteins from human hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, resulting in the identification of 1130 and 782 core fucosylated glycosites, respectively. These results indicate that our STAGE method enables quantitative characterization of core fucosylation events from complex protein mixtures, which may benefit our understanding of core fucosylation functions in various diseases.

Project description:We employed the newly available IMPa O-glycoprotease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa for O-glycoproteomics analysis of cultured cells and tissues. The glycopeptides were extracted, purified, and conjugated to a solid support before an enzymatic cleavage by IMPa. O-glycopeptides were analyzed by EThcD, which allowed for a site-specific and global analysis of O-glycans, especially those sialylated and the Tn antigen. Through wild-type or SimpleCell HEK293 cells, we present two approaches, one for the analysis of total O-glycoproteome and the other for the Tn glycoproteome, and showed that IMPa and EThcD are necessary for confident localization of O-glycans on glycopeptides. We applied this method to study the O-glycoproteome of mouse brain, which revealed the high frequency of sialylated O-glycans and the Tn antigen on brain glycoproteins.

Project description:Large-scale identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides by liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in human serum is challenging due to the wide dynamic range of serum protein abundances, the lack of a complete serum N-Glycan database and the existence of non-specifically digested peptides and numerous modifications. In this regard, a spectral library search method was presented for serum N-linked intact glycopeptides identification with target-decoy and motif-specific false discovery rate (FDR) control. Low-abundant glycoproteins were firstly separated from high-abundant proteins by acetonitrile (ACN) precipitation. After digestion, the N-linked intact glycopeptides were enriched by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column and a portion of the enriched N-linked intact glycopeptides were processed by N-Glycosidase F (PNGase F) to generate de-glycopeptides. Both N-linked intact glycopeptides and de-glycopeptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. From N-linked de-glycopeptides datasets, 764 N-linked glycoproteins, 1,699 N-linked glycosites and 3,328 unique N-linked de-glycopeptides were identified. The spectra of these N-linked de-glycopeptides were utilized for N-linked de-glycopeptides library construction and identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides. Four types of N-linked glycosylation motifs (NXS/T/C/V, X≠P) were used to recognize the N-linked de-glycopeptides, and two different N-Glycan mass databases including 27 modified N-Glycan masses and 712 unmodified N-Glycan masses were combined and utilized during spectral library search for identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides. In total, from the N-linked intact glycopeptides datasets, 526 N-linked glycoproteins, 1,036 N-linked glycosites, 22,677 N-linked intact glycopeptides and 738 N-Glycan masses were identified under 1% FDR, representing the most in-depth serum N-glycoproteome identified by LC-MS/MS at N-linked intact glycopeptide level and N-linked de-glycopeptides level.

Project description:Site-specific characterization of glycosylation requires intact glycopeptide analysis, and recent efforts have focused on how to best interrogate glycopeptides using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Beam-type collisional activation, i.e., higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD), has been a valuable approach, but stepped collision energy HCD (sceHCD) and electron transfer dissociation with HCD supplemental activation (EThcD) have emerged as potentially more suitable alternatives. Both sceHCD and EThcD have been used with success in large-scale glycoproteomic experiments, but they each incur some degree of compromise. Furthermore, N-glycoproteomics has made significant progress in the last few years, and there is growing interest in extending this progress to O-glycoproteomics, which necessitates comparisons of method performance for the two classes of glycopeptides. Here, we systematically explore the advantages and disadvantages of conventional HCD, sceHCD, ETD, and EThcD for intact glycopeptide analysis and comment on their suitability for both N- and O-glycoproteomic applications. For N-glycopeptides, HCD and sceHCD generate similar numbers of identifications, although sceHCD generally provides higher quality spectra. Both significantly outperform EThcD methods, indicating that ETD-based methods are not required for routine N-glycoproteomics. Conversely, ETD-based methods, especially EThcD, are indispensable for site-specific analyses of O-glycopeptides. Our data show that O-glycopeptides cannot be robustly characterized with HCD-centric methods that are sufficient for N-glycopeptides, and glycoproteomic methods aiming to characterize O-glycopeptides must be constructed accordingly.

Project description:We have repurposed standard phosphoproteomics workflow based on Fe3+IMAC for enrichment ofmannose-6-phosphate modified glycopeptides. This worklfow was used to profile lysosomal acid hydrolases in HeLa and CHO cell lines. We have combined this approach with CRISPR/Cas9 KO of acid phosphatases 2 and 5 responsible for dephosphorylation of mannose-6-phosphate glycopeptides in the lysosome. This combined approach enabled significantly deeper coverage of CHO mannose-6-phosphate glycoproteome.

Project description:Core fucosylation of N-glycoproteins plays a crucial role in modulating the biological functions of glycoproteins. Yet, the synthesis of structurally well-defined, core-fucosylated glycoproteins remains a challenging task due to the complexity in multistep chemical synthesis or the inability of the biosynthetic α1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) to directly fucosylate full-size mature N-glycans in a chemoenzymatic approach. We report in this paper the design and generation of potential α1,6-fucosynthase and fucoligase for direct core fucosylation of intact N-glycoproteins. We found that mutation at the nucleophilic residue (D200) did not provide a typical glycosynthase from this bacterial enzyme, but several mutants with mutation at the general acid/base residue E274 of the Lactobacillus casei α1,6-fucosidase, including E274A, E274S, and E274G, acted as efficient glycoligases that could fucosylate a wide variety of complex N-glycopeptides and intact glycoproteins by using α-fucosyl fluoride as a simple donor substrate. Studies on the substrate specificity revealed that the α1,6-fucosidase mutants could introduce an α1,6-fucose moiety specifically at the Asn-linked GlcNAc moiety not only to GlcNAc-peptide but also to high-mannose and complex-type N-glycans in the context of N-glycopeptides, N-glycoproteins, and intact antibodies. This discovery opens a new avenue to a wide variety of homogeneous, core-fucosylated N-glycopeptides and N-glycoproteins that are hitherto difficult to obtain for structural and functional studies.

Project description:H3I was adopted to idetify the glycosylation of bovine fetuin, human ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 S1 proteins. Both N- and O-linked glycopeptides are successfully captured with significant enrichment rate improvements, especially for O-glycopeptides with relatively lower hydrophilicity. The majority of N- and O-glycosylation within SARS-CoV-2 S1 and hACE2 proteins are characterized simultaneously by H3I strategy, including 10 novel O-glycosylation regions with important functions in viral fusion and antibody evasion.

Project description:Heterogeneity of protein glycosylation poses great challenge for analysis that is key to un-puzzle systems glycobiology in diseases. Resolving this conundrum requires global enrichment of glycopeptides for identification and quantitation. To this aim, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) has been proved to be an effective approach to enrich N-linked glycopeptides (N-glycopeptides). However, its effectiveness to enrich O-linked glycopeptides (O-glycopeptides) and isobaric labelled glycopeptides remains unclear. Here, we studied three different cartridges in HILIC mode. It was found that removal of N-glycosylation prior to enrichment improved identification of O-glycopeptides. It was noted that increased yield and number of glycosylation identification were seen when using cartridges having materials for strong anion exchange (SAX) chromatography. Remarkably, O-glycopeptides were found to be selectively enriched by HILIC with further improved enrichment being seen when Retain AX cartridge being used. Of particular note, isobaric labelled glycopeptides could be readily enriched by SAX cartridges in HILIC mode to enable quantitative glycoproteomics. It is anticipated that the use of SAX cartridges will facilitate broad applications of qualitative and quantitative glycoproteomics in diseases.
