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:The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus utilizes an extensively glycosylated spike protein that protrudes from the viral envelope to bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase (ACE2) as its primary receptor to mediate host-cell entry. Currently, the predominant recombinant spike protein production hosts are Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. In this study, recombinant full-size spike protein was produced transiently in CHO and HEK cell suspensions. To further evaluate the sialic acid linkages presenting on spike glycans, a two-step amidation process, employing dimethylamine and ammonium hydroxide reactions in a solid support system, was developed to differentially modify the sialic acid linkages on glycans and glycopeptides from spike protein. We determined global and site-specific N-linked glycosylation patterns in soluble SARS-CoV-2 spike using MALDI-TOF and LC-MS/MS with electron-transfer/higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD) fragmentation. We identified the glycan compositions at 21 and 19 out of the 22 predicted N-glycosylation sites of the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins produced in CHO and HEK, respectively. The N-glycan site at 1158 position (N1158) and the N-glycan sites at 122 ,282 and 1158 positions (N122, N282 and N1158) were found to be unoccupied on spike secreted from CHO and HEK cells, respectively. The structural mapping of glycans of recombinant human spike proteins revealed that CHO-Spike presented more complex and higher sialylation (α2,3-linked) content while HEK-Spike displayed more high-mannose and minor content of α2,3- and α2,6-linked sialic acids. The N74 site represents the most heavily N-glycosylated site on both spike proteins while some high-mannose abundant sites (N17, N234, N343, N616, N709, N717, N801 and N1134) on HEK-Spike may differentially shield the virus compared to CHO-spike and provide a different host immune system interaction strategy. Collectively, these data underscore the importance of characterizing site-specific glycosylation on recombinant human spike protein from HEK and CHO cells in order to better understand the impact of the production host on this complex and important protein used in diagnostics and vaccines.

Project description:This study introduced the use of cotton in 200µL tips, namely cotton HILIC as a convenient tool for enriching large-scale glycopeptides before MS analysis in this study. The optimal loading buffer for cotton HILIC was investigated by using mouse brain as a complex test sample. Subsequently, the performance of cotton HILIC was evaluated by comparing with other two commercial enrichment approaches, venusil HILIC and Oasis MAX in both mouse brain and seminal plasma. Moreover, capacity and recovery rate were evaluated using different milligram of cotton in 200µL tips. Thus, a simple, convenient, and cost-friendly cotton HILIC method was proposed to achieve highly selective intact glycopeptide profiling.

Project description:In this project we developed a new algorithm termed StrucGP, for large-scale interpretation of N-glycan structures on intact glycopeptides from tandem mass spectrometry data. StrucGP is able to reveal the glycan structure heterogeneity for individual glycosites. The StrucGP also has high performance in distinguishing various structure isoforms and identifying new and rare glycan structures from complex samples.

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:A comprehensive glycosylation profile of donkey lactoferrin, isolated by ion exchange chromatography from an individual milk sample, was obtained by means of chymotryptic digestion, TiO2 and HILIC enrichment, reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography, electrospray mass spectrometry, and high collision dissociation fragmentation. The results obtained allowed the identification of 26 different glycan structures, including high mannose, complex and hybrid N-glycans, linked to the protein backbone via an amide bond to asparagine residues located at the positions 137, 281 and 476. Altogether, the N-glycan structures determined revealed that in donkey milk lactoferrin most of the N-glycans identified are neutral complex/hybrid. Actually, 10 neutral non-fucosylated complex/hybrid N-glycans and 4 neutral fucosylated complex/hybrid N-glycans were found. In addition, 2 high mannose N-glycans, 4 sialylated fucosylated complex/hybrid N-glycans and 6 sialylated non-fucosylatedN-glycans, one of which containing N-glycolylneuramin acid (Neu5Gc), were found. A comparison of the glycosylation profile of donkey milk lactoferrin with respect to that of human, bovine and goat milk lactoferrin is reported.

Project description:In this study, we provide a simple and straightforward method to distinguish core-fucosylated glycans from antenna-fucosylated glycans by systematically evaluating the extent of fucose migration based on the feature Y ions by using Fut8 knockout (Fut8−/−) mouse brain under HCD energy of 20%. The method was further evaluated by multiple different approaches including validation by standard glycopeptides, evaluation in silico, comparison under the lower energy (15%), and applied to analyze core-fucosylated glycans in wide-type (Fut8+/+) mouse brain.

Project description:Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer among women worldwide. It is confirmed mainly by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), an invasive diagnostic method. The key proteins responsible for thyroid hormone biosynthesis are glycosylated. Changes in site-specific glycosylation are associated with thyroid cancer. Integrated quantitative proteomic and glycoproteomic analyses of body fluids from patients with PTC may identify potential noninvasive biomarkers, improve diagnostic accuracy, and elucidate the basic mechanisms of tumor development. In the present study, we demonstrated a novel integrated method of body fluid proteome and glycoproteome analysis. We showed that it is highly reproducible and fast. It may also quantitatively profile protein glycosylation. Intact N-glycopeptides from the urine and plasma of healthy controls (HC), PTC, and PTC with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (PHT) were enriched by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. Sialic acid was removed from the N-glycopeptides with trifluoroacetic acid and heat. The desialo-N-glycopeptides were analyzed by HCD-MS/MS using stepped collision energies and several search engines for quantitative profiling. Ninety-two altered proteins and 134 intact N-glycopeptides were isolated from the plasma and urine samples of the three groups (90 samples from 15 subjects). To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to compare the plasma and urinary proteomes and glycoproteomes of HC, PTC, and PHT. Moreover, we revealed a novel indicator (ratio of fucosylated to non-fucosylated N-glycopeptide or F/NF) through desialo-N-glycopeptide analysis. These differently expressed glycoproteins and F/NF may serve as biomarkers contributing to clinical cancer diagnostics and could be used to improve diagnostic accuracy noninvasively.

Project description:We aimed to in-depth characterize and quantify salivary N-glycoproteomics. HILIC enrichment and LC-MS/MS were combined to investigate salivary glycosylation both at deglycopeptides level and glycopepeptides level, and alterations in site-specific glycoforms for human saliva were detected between lung cancer patients and healthy subjects. Firstly, intact glycopeptides were enriched from human saliva through using HILIC. Obtained intact glycopeptides were characterized by LC-MS/MS directly. Furthermore, the glycosylation sites were fully identified by LC-MS/MS followed by incubating with PNGase F. The developed workflow was applied to compare N-glycosites and intact N-glycopeptides in lung cancer group and healthy control group. Dysregulated N-glycosites as well as site-specific glycoforms were confidently observed in lung cancer and their potential value in clinical applications will be discussed.

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.
