Maximizing glycoproteomics identification depth in complex mixtures on the timsTOF Pro platform

ABSTRACT: Glycoproteins play important roles in numerous physiological processes and are often implicated in disease. Analysis of site-specific protein glycobiology through glycoproteomics is evolving rapidly in recent years thanks to hardware and software innovations. Introduction of Parallel Accumulation Serial Fragmentation (PASEF) on hybrid trapped ion mobility time-of-flight instruments combined deep proteome sequencing with separation of (near-)isobaric precursor ions or converging isotope envelopes through ion mobility separation. Despite these advantages, the use of PASEF in integrated glycoproteomics workflows to comprehensively capture the glycoproteome has received little attention. To address this gap, we have developed an integrated methodology using the timsTOF Pro2 to enhance N-glycopeptide identifications in complex mixtures. We explored its potential by systematically evaluating the impact of ion optics tuning, collision energies, mobility isolation width, and the use of dopant-enriched nitrogen gas (DEN) on glycopeptide identification rates. This comprehensive approach showed a marked increase in unique glycopeptide identification rates compared to standard proteomics settings while evaluating key parameters on a large set of glycopeptides. With short liquid chromatography gradients of 30 minutes, we increased the number of unique N-glycopeptide identifications in full human plasma glycopeptide samples from around 100 identifications under standard proteomics condition to over 1500 with our optimized glycoproteomics approach, highlighting the need for tailored solutions.

The GlycoPaSER prototype as a real-time N-glycopeptide identification tool based on the PaSER parallel computing platform

Project description:Real-time database searching allows for simpler and automated proteomics workflows as it eliminates technical bottlenecks in high throughput experiments. Most importantly, it enables results dependent acquisition (RDA) where search results can be used to guide data acquisition during acquisition. This is especially beneficial for glycoproteomics since the wide range of physicochemical properties of glycopeptides lead to a wide range of optimal acquisition parameters. We established here the GlycoPaSER prototype by extending the Parallel Search Engine in Real-time (PaSER) functionality for real-time glycopeptide identification from fragmentation spectra. Glycopeptide fragmentation spectra were decomposed into peptide- and glycan-moiety spectra using common N-glycan fragments. Each moiety was subsequently identified by a specialized algorithm running in real-time. GlycoPaSER can keep up with the rate of data acquisition for real-time analysis with similar performance to other glycoproteomics software and produces results that are in line with literature reference data. The GlycoPaSER prototype presented here provides the first proof-of-concept for real-time glycopeptide identification that unlocks future development of RDA technology to transcend data acquisition.

CSF glycoproteomics reveals brain-specific changes in glyco-sylation in congenital disorders of glycosylation

Project description:In this project, CSF samples from healthy volunteers and patients diagnosed with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) were analyzed with MS-based glycoproteomics to characterize the glycoproteome in the two cohorts. In order to identify highly truncated glycopeptides and glycopeptides that show the complete loss of glycosylation, we chose to not perform a glycopeptide enrichment. Using the high identification rate of the timsTOF Pro including PASEF fragmentation, we were able to detect over 800 unique glycopeptides. We show that changes in protein N-glycosylation of CDG patients can be different on brain-derived proteins compared to blood derived proteins.

Evaluation and Optimization of High-Field Asymmetric Waveform Ion Mobility Spectrometry for Multiplexed Quantitative Site-specific N-glycoproteomics

Project description:The heterogeneity and complexity of glycosylation hinder the depth of site-specific glycoproteomics analysis. High-field asymmetric-waveform ion-mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) has shown to improve the scope of bottom-up proteomics. The benefits of FAIMS for quantitative N-glycoproteomics have not been investigated yet. In this work, we optimized FAIMS settings for N-glycopeptide identification, with or without the tandem mass tag (TMT) label. The optimized FAIMS approach significantly increased the identification of site-specific N-glycopeptides derived from the purified IgM protein or human lymphoma cells. We explored in detail the changes in FAIMS mobility caused by N-glycopeptides with different characteristics, including TMT labeling, charge state, glycan type, peptide sequence, glycan size and precursor m/z. Importantly, FAIMS also improved multiplexed N-glycopeptide quantification, both with the standard MS2 acquisition method and with our recently developed Glyco-SPS-MS3 method. The combination of FAIMS and Glyco-SPS-MS3 provided the highest quantitative accuracy and precision. Our results demonstrate the advantages of FAIMS for improved mass-spectrometry-based qualitative and quantitative N-glycoproteomics.

Plasma glycoproteomics delivers high-specificity disease biomarkers by detecting site-specific glycosylation abnormalities

Project description:The human plasma glycoproteome holds enormous potential to identify personalized biomarkers to diagnose and understand disease. Recent advances in mass spectrometry and software development are opening novel avenues to mine the glycoproteome for protein- and site-specific glycosylation changes. Here, we describe a novel plasma N-glycoproteomics method for disease diagnosis and evaluated its clinical applicability by performing comparative glycoproteomics in blood plasma of 40 controls and a cohort of 74 patients with 13 different genetic diseases that directly impact the protein N-glycosylation pathway. The plasma glycoproteome yielded high-specificity biomarker signatures for each of the individual genetic defects. Bioinformatic analyses revealed site-specific glycosylation differences that could be explained by underlying glycobiology and in specific diseases by protein-intrinsic factors. Our work illustrates the strong potential of plasma glycoproteomics to significantly increase specificity of glycoprotein biomarkers with direct insights in site-specific glycosylation changes to better understand the mechanisms underlying human disease.

Re-analysis of glycoproteomics data with MSFragger-Glyco

Project description:Reanalysis of submissions PXD011533 and PXD009476 using MSFragger-Glyco mode. Processed MSFragger results files (pepXML) and PSM tables (psm.tsv) supporting MSFragger-Glyco manuscript (Fast and Comprehensive N- and O-glycoproteomics analysis with MSFragger-Glyco. Recent advances in methods for enrichment and mass spectrometric analysis of intact glycopeptides have produced large-scale glycoproteomics datasets, but interpreting this data remains challenging. We present MSFragger-Glyco, aa new glycoproteomics mode of the MSFragger search engine, called MSFragger-Glyco, for fast and sensitive identification of N- and O-linked glycopeptides and open glycan searches. Reanalysis of recent N-glycoproteomics data resulted in annotation of 80% more glycopeptide-spectrum matches (glycoPSMs) than previously reported. In published O-glycoproteomics data, our method more than doubled the number of glycoPSMs annotated when searching the same glycans as the original search and yielded 4-6-fold increases when expanding searches to include additional glycan compositions and other modifications. Expanded searches also revealed many sulfated and complex glycans that remained hidden to the original search.

Re-analysis of glycoproteomics data with Glyco-Decipher

Project description:Reanalysis of submissions PXD005411, PXD005413, PXD005412, PXD005553, PXD005555, PXD005565 and PXD019937 using Glyco-Decipher. 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.

False positive glycopeptide identification through in-FAIMS glycan fragmentation.

Project description:Glycosylation is an important post-translational modification characterized by extensive heterogeneity. While mass spectrometry (MS) is the premier technique to characterize glycoproteins, the study of intact glycopeptides presents challenges often not observed in the study of unmodified species. High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) involves in-line gas-phase separation and offers the potential to analyze glycopeptides without prior enrichment. While FAIMS has been assessed for its use in glycoproteomics, most of these studies focus heavily or exclusively on N-glycoproteomics. Therefore, we evaluated FAIMS for O-glycoprotein and mucin analysis. We generated three samples: the mucin-domain glycoprotein podocalyxin, a recombinant glycoprotein mixture, and a WGA enriched human platelet sheddome. Although FAIMS allowed for the identification of new podocalyxin O-glycosites, it yielded less glycopeptide identifications and glycoforms. FAIMS seemed to be more useful in the increasingly complex samples, since we observed a higher number of identified glycosylated species. Because of the labile nature of glycosidic bonds, and presence of a buffer gas in FAIMS separation, we investigated the possibility of increased in-source fragmentation during FAIMS analysis. We compared total ion chromatograms of identifications eluting within a minute of identifications bearing larger glycan structures, albeit with the same peptide backbone. FAIMS experiments showed a 2-5-fold increase in spectral matches from in-FAIMS fragmentation compared to control experiments. These results were also replicated in other previously published data, indicating that this is a systematic behavior. In summary, our study highlights that, although there are potential benefits gained when using FAIMS separation, caution must be exercised when using FAIMS due to in-FAIMS fragmentation, which limits its applicability in the field of O-glycoproteomics.

Community Evaluation of Glycoproteomics Informatics Solutions Reveals High-Performance Search Strategies for Glycopeptide Analysis

Project description:Mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics studies now routinely report thousands of intact glycopeptides. Diverse informatics solutions aiding the challenging glycopeptide identification process have recently appeared, but their strengths and weaknesses have not been established leaving a critical knowledge gap that prevents rapid progress in the field. This interlaboratory study comprising both expert users (13 teams) and developers (9 teams) of glycoproteomics software is the first to evaluate the relative performance of current informatics solutions for accurate and comprehensive N- and O-glycopeptide identification. Two LC-MS/MS datasets of intact glycopeptides from serum proteins were shared with all teams. The relative team performance for large-scale glycopeptide analysis was systematically established through 11 orthogonal performance tests based on the assigned spectra reported by each team. This study has found that a diversity of approaches exists for comprehensive glycopeptide data analysis, has demonstrated the team-to-team (vari)ability of identifying intact glycopeptides from shared datasets, and, importantly, has revealed several high-performance informatics solutions and search strategies that will be useful to improve the challenging glycoproteomics data analysis in the immediate future.

On-tissue spatially-resolved glycoproteomics guided by N-glycan imaging reveal global dysregulation of canine glioma glycoproteomic landscape

Project description:Here we present an approach to identify N-linked glycoproteins and deduce their spatial localization using a combination of MALDI N-glycan MSI and spatially-resolved glycoproteomics. We subjected glioma biopsies to on-tissue PNGaseF digestion and MALDI-MSI and found that the glycan HexNAc4-Hex5-NeuAc2 was predominantly expressed in necrotic regions of high-grade canine gliomas. To determine the underlying sialo-glycoprotein, various regions in adjacent tissue sections were subjected to microdigestion and manual glycoproteomic analysis. Results identified haptoglobin as the protein associated with HexNAc4-Hex5-NeuAc2, making our study the first report that directly links glycan imaging with intact glycopeptide identification. In total, our spatially-resolved glycoproteomics technique identified over 400 N-, O-, and S- glycopeptides from over 30 proteins, demonstrating the diverse array of glycosylation present on the tissue slides and the sensitivity of our technique. Ultimately, this proof-of-principle work demonstrates that spatially-resolved glycoproteomics greatly complement MALDI-MSI in understanding dysregulated glycosylation.
