Relative Retention Time Estimation Improves N-Glycopeptide Identifications by LC-MS/MS.
Journal of proteome research 20200410 5
Glycopeptides identified by tandem mass spectrometry rely on the identification of the peptide backbone sequence and the attached glycan(s) by the incomplete fragmentation of both moieties. This may lead to ambiguous identifications where multiple structures could explain the same spectrum equally well due to missing information in the mass spectrum or incorrect precursor mass determination. To date, approaches to solving these problems have been limited, and few inroads have been made to addres ...[more]

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) mutates rapidly, preventing a single seasonal vaccine from targeting more than one strain, and year-to-year vaccine effectiveness is low. One challenge in designing effective vaccines is that genetic mutations frequently cause amino acid variations in IAV envelope protein hemagglutinin (HA) that create new N-glycosylation sequons; resulting N-glycans cause antigenic shielding, allowing viral escape from adaptive immune responses. Vaccine candidate strain selection currently involves correlating antigenicity with HA protein sequence among circulating strains, but quantitative comparison of site-specific glycosylation information is likely to improve the ability to design vaccines with broader effectiveness against evolved strains. However, there is poor understanding of the influence of glycosylation on immunodominance, antigenicity, and immunogenicity of HA, and there are no well-tested methods for comparing glycosylation similarity among virus samples. Here, we present a method for statistically rigorous quantification of similarity between two related virus strains that considers the presence and abundance of glycopeptide glycoforms. We demonstrate the strength of our approach by determining that there was a quantifiable difference in glycosylation at the protein level between wild-type IAV HA from A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 (SWZ13) and a mutant strain of SWZ13, even though no N-glycosylation sequons were changed. We determined site-specifically that WT and mutant HA have varying similarity at the glycosylation sites of the head domain, reflecting competing pressures to evade host immune response while retaining viral fitness. To our knowledge, our results are the first to quantify changes in glycosylation state that occur in related proteins of considerable glycan heterogeneity. Our results provide a method for understanding how changes in glycosylation state are correlated with variations in protein sequence, which is necessary for improving IAV vaccine strain selection. Understanding glycosylation will be especially important as we find new expression vectors for vaccine production, as glycosylation state depends greatly on the host species.

Project description:Proteoglycans are distributed in all animal tissues and play critical, multifaceted, physiological roles. Expressed in a spatially- and temporally-regulated manner, these molecules regulate interactions among growth factors and cell surface receptors and play key roles in basement membranes and other extracellular matrices. Due to the high degree of glycosylation by glycosaminoglycan (GAG), N-glycan and mucin-type O-glycan classes, the peptide sequence coverage of complex proteoglycans is revealed poorly by standard mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods. As a result, there is little information concerning how proteoglycan site specific glycosylation changes during normal and pathological processes. Here, we developed a workflow to improve sequence coverage and identification of glycosylated peptides in proteoglycans. We applied this workflow to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan decorin and the hyalectan proteoglycans; neurocan, brevican, and aggrecan.

Project description:The amino acid sequences of immunodominant domains of hemagglutinin (HA) on the surface of influenza A virus (IAV) evolve rapidly, producing viral variants. HA mediates receptor recognition, binding and cell entry, and serves as the target for IAV vaccines. Glycosylation, a post-translational modification that places large, branched polysaccharide molecules on proteins, can modulate the function of HA, and can shield antigenic regions allowing for viral evasion from immune responses. Our previous work showed that subtle changes in the HA protein sequence can have a measurable change in glycosylation. Thus, being able to measure quantitatively how glycosylation changes in viral variants is critical for understanding how HA function may change throughout viral evolution. Moreover, understanding quantitatively how the choice of viral expression systems affects glycosylation can help in the process of vaccine design and manufacture. Although IAV vaccines are most commonly expressed in chicken eggs, cell-based vaccines have many advantages and the adoption of more cell-based vaccines would be an important step in mitigating seasonal influenza and protecting against future pandemics. Here, we have investigated the use of data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry for quantitative glycoproteomics. We found that DIA improved the sensitivity of glycopeptide detection for four variants of A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 IAV: WT and mutant, each expressed in chicken eggs and MDCK cells. We used the Tanimoto similarity metric to quantify changes in glycosylation between WT and mutant, and between egg-expressed and cell-expressed virus. Our DIA site-specific glycosylation similarity comparison of WT and mutant expressed in eggs confirmed our previous analysis while achieving greater depth of coverage. We found that sequence changes resulting from different viral expression systems affected distinct glycosylation sites of HA. Our methods can be applied to track glycosylation changes in circulating IAV variants to bolster the genomic surveillance already being done, for a more complete understanding of IAV evolution.

Project description:Coronaviruses (CoVs) encompass many human pathogens such as HKU-1, OC43, NL63, SARS, MERS and, most recently, nCoV-2019. The spike (S) protein of CoVs has received much attention for its role in host tropism and immunity, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the haemagglutinin esterase (HE) also plays an important role in host adaptation by determining host receptor (sialic acid) specificity. We determined the structure of HKU1 HE by cryo electron microscopy and mapped site-specific N-linked glycosylation by LC-MS/MS of glycopeptides using electron transfer high-energy collision dissociation.

Project description:Mucins are functionally implicated in a range of human pathologies, including cystic fibrosis, influenza, bacterial endocarditis, gut dysbiosis, and cancer. These observations have motivated the study of mucin biosynthesis as well as development of strategies for inhibition of mucin glycosylation. Mammalian pathways for mucin catabolism, however, have remained underexplored. The canonical view, derived from analysis of N-glycoconjugates in human lysosomal storage disorders, is that proteolysis and glycan degradation occur largely independently. Here, we challenge this view by providing genetic and biochemical evidence supporting mammalian proteolysis of heavily O-glycosylated mucin domains, without prior deglycosylation. Using activity screening coupled with mass spectrometry we ascribed mucin-degrading activity in murine liver to the lysosomal protease cathepsin D. Knockout of cathepsin D in a murine model of the human lysosomal storage disorder neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis resulted in accumulation of mucins in liver-resident macrophages. Our findings suggest that mucin-degrading activity is not limited to the bacterial kingdom and is a component of glycoprotein catabolism in mammalian tissues.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, continuously requiring innovative target therapies. The sialyl-lewis A (SLeA) antigen offers tremendous potential for precise cancer targeting. This glycan is rarely expressed by healthy tissues and blood cells but is often present in cancer cells of high metastatic potential as well as in the metastasis. To improve further on the gastric cancer nature of this glycan we have zoomed in on the SLeA-glycoproteome envisaging the identification of possible targetable biomarkers. SLeA-glycoproteins were isolated by immunoprecipitation from well-known cell models of gastric cancer reflecting different histological subtypes of the disease (KATO-III, OCUM-1 and N87 cells). Glycoproteins with affinity for E-selectin were also isolated and analyzed. Proteomics study employed a typical nanoLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS platform. The well-known molecular heterogeneity of these cell lines was reflected in the markedly different glycoproteomics signatures observed. Nevertheless, a restricted panel of SLeA-expressing glycoproteins with affinity for E-selectin remained conserved between the cell lines, consisting of a promising list of potentially targetable biomarkers for bladder cancer.

Project description:The envelope glycoprotein GP of the ebolaviruses is essential for host cell attachment and entry. It is also the primary target of the protective and neutralizing antibody response in both natural infection and vaccination. GP is heavily glycosylated with up to 17 predicted N-linked sites, numerous O-linked glycans in its disordered mucin-like domain (MLD), and three predicted C-linked mannosylation sites. Glycosylation of GP is important for host cell attachment to cell-surface lectins, as well as GP stability and fusion activity. Moreover, it has been shown to shield GP from neutralizing activity of serum antibodies. Here, we use mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics to profile the site-specific glycosylation patterns of ebolavirus GP, including N-, O-, and C-linked glycans.

Project description:The glycosylation of antibody-based proteins is vital in conferring the right therapeutic outcomes of the patient. Despite this, significant infrastructure is required to analyse biologic glycosylation in various unit operations from biologic development, process development to QA/QC in bio-manufacturing. The simplified mass spectrometers offer ease of operation as well as the portability of method development across various operations. Furthermore, data analysis would need to have a degree of automation to relay information back to the manufacturing line. We set out to investigate the applicability of using a semiautomated data analysis workflow to investigate glycosylation in different biologic development test cases. The workflow involves data acquisition using a BioAccord LC-MS system with a data-analytical tool called GlycopeptideGraphMS along with Progenesis QI to semi-automate glycoproteomic characterisation and quantitation in complex LC-MS1 data of a glycoproteomic analysis. Data analysis which involved identifying glycopeptides and their quantitative glycosylation was performed in 30 minutes with minimal user intervention. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the antibody and biologic glycopeptide assignment in various scenarios akin to biologic development activities, we demonstrate the effectiveness in the filtering of IgG1 and IgG2 subclasses from human serum IgG as well as innovator drugs trastuzumab and adalimumab and glycoforms by virtue of their glycosylation pattern. We demonstrate a high correlation between conventional released glycan analysis with fluorescent tagging and glycopeptide assignment derived from GraphMS. GraphMS workflow was then used to monitor the glycoform of our in-house trastuzumab biosimilar produced in fed-batch cultures, and it offers valuable insights into the effect of culture media changes on bioprocess and biologic characterisation. The demonstrated utility of GraphMS to semi-automate quantitation and qualitative identification of glycopeptides proves to be an easy and scalable data analysis method that can complement emerging multi-attribute monitoring (MAM) analytical toolsets in bioprocess environments.

Project description:In this work, we performed a fully descriptive analysis N- and O- linked glycosylation of SARS-COV-2 S glycoprotein. We investigated that dual-functionalized Ti-IMAC material enable the simultaneous enrichment and separation of neutral and sialyl glycopeptides of a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein from HEK293, which will eliminate the signal suppression of neutral glycopeptides to sialyl glycopeptides and improve the glycoform coverage of S protein. We have profiled 19 of its 22 potential N-glycosylated sites with 398 unique glycoforms in dual-functional Ti-IMIAC approach that is 1.6-fold of that in conventional HILIC method. We also identified O-linked glycosylation site that was not found in dual-functional Ti-IMIAC approach. In addition, we have also identified mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) glycosylation, which substantially expands the current knowledge of the spike protein’s glycosylation and enables the investigation of the influence of mannose-6-Phosphate on its cell entry.
