Project description:In this study, we used human THP-1-derived macrophages as an immune cell model, and systematically performed glycoproteomics of three subtypes of macrophages by StrucGP.To study the N‑Glycoproteomic of them, the intact glycopeptides were first enriched and identified using triplicate mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycoproteomic approaches, then StrucGP was used for subsequent analysis. In total three subtypes of macrophages, these intact glycopeptides consist of 253 N-linked glycan structures at 652 unique glycosites from 372 N-glycoproteins, along with their PSM information. A total of 135, 163, and 201 N-glycan structures were identified from M0, M1, and M2 macrophages, respectively.

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:Identification results of peptide-spectrum matches supporting Glyco-Decipher manuscript (Glyco-Decipher: Glycan database-independent peptide matching enables discovery of new glycans and in-depth characterization of site-specific N-glycosylation). Recently, several elegant bioinformatics tools have been developed to identify glycopeptides from tandem mass spectra for site-specific glycoproteomics studies. These glycan database-dependent tools have substantially improved glycoproteomics analysis but fail to identify glycopeptides with unexpected glycans. We present a platform called Glyco-Decipher to interpret the glycoproteomics data of N-linked glycopeptides. It adopts a glycan database-independent peptide matching scheme that allows the unbiased profiling of glycans and the discovery of new glycans linked with modifications. Reanalysis of several large-scale datasets showed that Glyco-Decipher outperformed the open search method in glycan blind searching and the popular glycan database-dependent software tools in glycopeptide identification. Our glycan database-independent search also revealed that modified glycans are responsible for a large fraction of unassigned glycopeptide spectra in shotgun glycoproteomics.

Project description:Protein glycosylation is ubiquitous and plays critical roles in biology. However, study of O-linked glycoproteome (O-glycoproteome), a major type of protein glycosylation, has been severely impeded due to paucity of technology. We presented a chemoenzymatic strategy for extraction of site-specific O-linked glycopeptides (SOGO), which enabled simultaneous enrichment and identification of O-linked glycosylation sites (O-glycosites) in an unprecedented depth. Central to SOGO is a tandem-use of solid-phase capture of peptides and an O-linked glycan (O-glycan) dependent endoprotease named OpeRATOR. Interestingly, OpeRATOR requires O-glycan to specifically cleave the N-terminus of glycan-occupied Ser and Thr leading to unambiguous identification of O-glycosites and corresponding glycoproteins. The identified O-glycosites facilitated downstream determination of microheterogeneity of intact O-linked glycopeptides (O-glycopeptides). We benchmarked the method using human serum and identified 805 peptides containing 777 O-glycosites from 1,345 site-specific O-glycopeptides and 302 glycoproteins. We applied the method to study change of protein-specific O-glycosylation in human T cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). Strikingly, 1404 peptides containing 1,352 O-glycosites from 577 glycoproteins were identified. In addition, altered site-specific O-linked glycosylation (O-glycosylation) during HIV infection of T cells were observed. In total, 1989 O-glycosites from 789 glycoproteins were precisely pinpointed from human serum and T cells. We observed conserved motifs for O-glycoproteome. Finally, ontology analysis revealed diverse roles for O-glycoproteins arguing broad application of our method to study biology in respective to protein O-glycosylation.

Project description:The global pandemic of severe acute pneumonia syndrome (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 urgently calls for prevention and intervention strategies. The densely glycosylated spike (S) protein highly exposed on the viral surface is a determinant for virus binding and invasion into host cells as well as elicitation of a protective host immune response. Herein, we characterized the site-specific N-glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2 S protein using stepped collision energy (SCE) mass spectrometry (MS). Following digestion with two complementary proteases to cover all potential N-glycosylation sequons and integrated N-glycoproteomics analysis, we revealed the N-glycosylation profile of SARS-CoV-2 S proteins at the levels of intact N-glycopeptides and glycosites, along with the glycan composition and site-specific number of glycans. All 22 potential canonical N-glycosites were identified in S protein protomer. Of those, 18 N-glycosites were conserved between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 S proteins. Nearly all glycosites were preserved among the 753 SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences available in the public influenza database Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data. By comparison, insect cell-expressed SARS-CoV-2 S protein contained 38 N-glycans, which were primarily assigned to the high-mannose type N-glycans, whereas the human cell-produced protein possessed up to 140 N-glycans largely belonging to the complex type. In particular, two N-glycosites located in the structurally exposed receptor-binding domain of S protein exhibited a relatively conserved N-glycan composition in human cells. This N-glycosylation profiling and determination of differences between distinct expression systems could shed light on the infection mechanism and promote development of vaccines and targeted drugs.

Project description:We performed a large-scale, site-specific N-glycoproteome profiling study of human Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and control brains using mass spectrometry–based quantitative N-glycoproteomics. The study provided a system-level view of human brain N-glycoproteins and in vivo N-glycosylation sites and identified disease signatures of altered N-glycopeptides, N-glycoproteins, and N-glycosylation site occupancy in AD. Glycoproteomic data-driven network analysis showed 13 modules of co-regulated N-glycopeptides/glycoproteins, 6 of which are associated with AD phenotypes.

Project description:Glycobiology plays a central role in prostate cancer (PCa), as evidenced by the aberrant glycosylation in PCa-derived glycoproteins. Understanding the protein glycosylation changes underling PCa onset and progression may open opportunities for the discovery of novel biomarkers for PCa detection and stratification as well as targets for PCa metastasis. Advances in mass spectrometry-based glycomics and glycoproteomics have opened up exciting avenues for deep characterisation of the immensely, yet poorly understood complex glycoproteome. In this study, we have used integrated glycomics and glycoproteomics to explore the protein, cell and tumour-grade specific N- and O- glycosylation signatures in surgically-removed fresh PCa tissues grouped into five PCa disease grades and tissues from benign prostatic hyperplasia patients (BPH). Porous graphitised carbon–liquid chromatography (PGC–LC)-MS/MS analysis was used to profile the N-and O-glycome, revealing PCa grade specific N and O glycosylation changes, including oligomannosidic and paucimannosidic, bisecting-GlcNAc and highly branched tri- and tetra-antennary fucosylated and sialylated N-glycans as well as sialylated core 1 and 2 type O-glycans. High resolution LC-MS/MS was then employed to capture the micro and macroheterogeneity of 1,085 N-glycosites (>7,400 unique N-glycopeptides) from 540 N-glycoproteins and 360 O-glycosites (>500 unique O-glycopeptides) from 178 O-glycoproteins and reveal protein and cell specific N- and O- glycosylation changes associated with PCa progression. We also showed PCa grade-specific increase in the expression of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) subunits that correlate with changes in the site occupancy of N-glycoproteins. In conclusion, this study shows that integrated glycomics and glycoproteomics can provide unprecedented insight into key molecular features and site-specific glycan heterogeneity contributing to the highly diverse tumour-microenvironment and allow us to deconstruct the regulation of the protein, cell and tumour-grade-specific glycosylation associated with PCa onset and development.
