Direct glycan structure determination of intact N-linked glycopeptides by low-energy collision-induced association tandem mass spectrometry and predicted spectral library searching

ABSTRACT: Intact glycopeptide MS analysis to reveal site-specific protein glycosylation is an important frontier of proteomics. However, computational tools for analyzing MS/MS spectra of intact glycopeptides are still limited and not well-integrated into existing workflows. In this work, a novel computational tool which combines the spectral library building/searching tool, SpectraST (Lam et al. Nat. Methods 2008, 5, 873-875), and the glycopeptide fragmentation prediction tool, MassAnalyzer (Zhang et al. Anal. Chem. 2010, 82, 10194-10202) for intact glycopeptide analysis has been developed. Specifically, this tool enables the determination of the glycan structure directly from low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of intact glycopeptides. Given a list of possible glycopeptide sequences as input, a sample-specific spectral library of MassAnalyzer- predicted spectra is built using SpectraST. Glycan identification from CID spectra is achieved by spectral library searching against this library, in which both m/z and intensity information of the possible fragmentation ions are taken into consideration for improved accuracy. We validated our method using a standard glycoprotein, human transferrin, and evaluated its potential to be used in site-specific glycosylation profiling of glycoprotein datasets from LC/MS. For maximum usability, SpectraST is developed as part of the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP), a freely available and open-source software suite for MS data analysis

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.
