Abstract
The analysis of the structures of glycans present on glycoproteins is an essential component for determining glycoprotein function; however, detailed glycan structural assignment on glycopeptides from proteomics mass spectrometric data remains challenging. Glycoproteomic analysis by mass spectrometry currently can provide significant, yet incomplete, information about the glycans present, including the glycan monosaccharide composition and in some circumstances the site(s) of glycosylation. Advancements in mass spectrometric resolution, using high-mass accuracy instrumentation and tailored MS/MS fragmentation parameters, coupled with a dedicated definition of diagnostic fragmentation ions have enabled the determination of some glycan structural features, or glycotopes, expressed on glycopeptides. Here we present a collation of diagnostic glycan fragments produced by traditional positive-ion-mode reversed-phase LC-ESI MS/MS proteomic workflows and describe the specific fragmentation energy settings required to identify specific glycotopes presented on N- or O-linked glycopeptides in a typical proteomics MS/MS experiment.

Abstract
Hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1) is an extracellular matrix protein stabilizing interactions between hyaluronan and proteoglycan. Although HAPLN1 is being investigated for various biological roles, its N-glycosylation is poorly understood. In this study, the structure of N-glycopeptides of trypsin-treated recombinant human HAPLN1 (rhHAPLN1) expressed from CHO cells were identified by nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 66 N-glycopeptides were obtained, including 16 and 12 N-glycans at sites Asn 6 (located in the N-terminal region) and Asn 41 (located in the Ig-like domain, which interacts with proteoglycan), respectively. The quantities (%) of each N-glycan relative to the totals (100 %) at each site were calculated. Tri- and tetra-sialylation (to resist proteolysis and extend half-life) were more abundant at Asn 6, and di- (core- and terminal-) fucosylation (to increase binding affinity and stability) and sialyl-Lewis X/a epitope (a major ligand for E-selectin) were more abundant at Asn 41. These results indicate that N-glycans attached to Asn 6 (protecting HAPLN1) and Asn 41 (supporting molecular interactions) play different roles in HAPLN1. This is the first study of site-specific N-glycosylation in rhHAPLN1, which will be useful for understanding its molecular interactions in the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications are an area of great interest in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, with a surge in methods to detect them in recent years. However, post-translational modifications can introduce complexity into proteomics searches by fragmenting in unexpected ways, ultimately hindering the detection of modified peptides. To address these deficiencies, we present a fully automated method to find diagnostic spectral features for any modification. The features can be incorporated into proteomics search engines to improve modified peptide recovery and localization. We show the utility of this approach by interrogating fragmentation patterns for a cysteine-reactive chemoproteomic probe, RNA-crosslinked peptides, sialic acid-containing glycopeptides, and ADP-ribosylated peptides. We also analyze the interactions between a diagnostic ion's intensity and its statistical properties. This method has been incorporated into the open-search annotation tool PTM-Shepherd and the FragPipe computational platform.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most significant and abundant posttranslational modifications in mammalian cells. It mediates a wide range of biofunctions, including cell adhesion, cell communication, immune cell trafficking, and protein stability. Also, aberrant glycosylation has been associated with various diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, inflammation, immune deficiencies, congenital disorders, and cancers. The alterations in the distributions of glycan and glycopeptide isomers are involved in the development and progression of several human diseases. However, the microheterogeneity of glycosylation brings a great challenge to glycomic and glycoproteomic analysis, including the characterization of isomers. Over several decades, different methods and approaches have been developed to facilitate the characterization of glycan and glycopeptide isomers. Mass spectrometry (MS) has been a powerful tool utilized for glycomic and glycoproteomic isomeric analysis due to its high sensitivity and rich structural information using different fragmentation techniques. However, a comprehensive characterization of glycan and glycopeptide isomers remains a challenge when utilizing MS alone. Therefore, various separation methods, including liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and ion mobility, were developed to resolve glycan and glycopeptide isomers before MS. These separation techniques were coupled to MS for a better identification and quantitation of glycan and glycopeptide isomers. Additionally, bioinformatic tools are essential for the automated processing of glycan and glycopeptide isomeric data to facilitate isomeric studies in biological cohorts. Here in this review, we discuss commonly employed MS-based techniques, separation hyphenated MS methods, and software, facilitating the separation, identification, and quantitation of glycan and glycopeptide isomers.

Abstract
O-Acetylation is a common modification of sialic acid, playing a significant role in glycoprotein stability, immune response, and cell development. Due to the lack of efficient methods for direct analysis of O-acetylated sialoglycopeptides (O-AcSGPs), the majority of identified O-acetylated sialic acids (O-AcSia) until now had no glycosite/glycoprotein information. Herein, we introduced a new workflow for precise interpretation of O-AcSGPs with probability estimation by recognizing the characteristic B and Y ions of O-AcSias. With further optimization of mass spectrometry parameters, the method allowed us to identify a total of 171 unique O-AcSGPs in mouse serum. Although the majority of these O-AcSGPs were at a relatively low abundance compared with their non-O-acetylated states, they were mainly involved in peptidase/endopeptidase inhibitor activities. The method paves the way for large-scale structural and functional analyses of site-specific O-AcSias in various complex samples as well as further identification of many other similar chemical modifications on glycoproteins.

Abstract
Molecular changes in the brain of individuals afflicted with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are an intense area of study. Little is known about the role of protein abundance and posttranslational modifications in AD progression and treatment, in particular large-scale intact N-linked glycoproteomics analysis. To elucidate the N-glycoproteome landscape, we developed an approach based on multi-lectin affinity enrichment, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, and LC-MS-based glycoproteomics. We analyzed brain tissue from 10 persons with no cognitive impairment or AD, 10 with asymptomatic AD, and 10 with symptomatic AD, detecting over 300 glycoproteins and 1900 glycoforms across the samples. The majority of glycoproteins have N-glycans that are high-mannosidic or complex chains that are fucosylated and bisected. The Man5 N-glycan was found to occur most frequently at >20% of the total glycoforms. Unlike the glycoproteomes of other tissues, sialylation is a minor feature of the brain N-glycoproteome, occurring at <9% among the glycoforms. We observed AD-associated differences in the number of antennae, frequency of fucosylation, bisection, and other monosaccharides at individual glycosylation sites among samples from our three groups. Further analysis revealed glycosylation differences in subcellular compartments across disease stage, including glycoproteins in the lysosome frequently modified with paucimannosidic glycans. These results illustrate the N-glycoproteomics landscape across the spectrum of AD clinical and pathologic severity and will facilitate a deeper understanding of progression and treatment development.

Abstract
While N-glycopeptides are relatively easy to characterize, O-glycosylation analysis is more complex. In this article, we illustrate the multiple layers of O-glycopeptide characterization that make this task so challenging. We believe our carefully curated dataset represents perhaps the largest intact human glycopeptide mixture derived from individuals, not from cell lines. The samples were collected from healthy individuals, patients with superficial or advanced bladder cancer (three of each group), and a single bladder inflammation patient. The data were scrutinized manually and interpreted using three different search engines: Byonic, Protein Prospector, and O-Pair, and the tool MS-Filter. Despite all the recent advances, reliable automatic O-glycopeptide assignment has not been solved yet. Our data reveal such diversity of site-specific O-glycosylation that has not been presented before. In addition to the potential biological implications, this dataset should be a valuable resource for software developers in the same way as some of our previously released data has been used in the development of O-Pair and O-Glycoproteome Analyzer. Based on the manual evaluation of the performance of the existing tools with our data, we lined up a series of recommendations that if implemented could significantly improve the reliability of glycopeptide assignments.

Abstract
Adaptive immune components are thought to exert non-overlapping roles in antimicrobial host defence, with antibodies targeting pathogens in the extracellular environment and T cells eliminating infection inside cells1,2. Reliance on antibodies for vertically transferred immunity from mothers to babies may explain neonatal susceptibility to intracellular infections3,4. Here we show that pregnancy-induced post-translational antibody modification enables protection against the prototypical intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Infection susceptibility was reversed in neonatal mice born to preconceptually primed mothers possessing L. monocytogenes-specific IgG or after passive transfer of antibodies from primed pregnant, but not virgin, mice. Although maternal B cells were essential for producing IgGs that mediate vertically transferred protection, they were dispensable for antibody acquisition of protective function, which instead required sialic acid acetyl esterase5 to deacetylate terminal sialic acid residues on IgG variable-region N-linked glycans. Deacetylated L. monocytogenes-specific IgG protected neonates through the sialic acid receptor CD226,7, which suppressed IL-10 production by B cells leading to antibody-mediated protection. Consideration of the maternal-fetal dyad as a joined immunological unit reveals protective roles for antibodies against intracellular infection and fine-tuned adaptations to enhance host defence during pregnancy and early life.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 cellular infection is mediated by the heavily glycosylated spike protein. Recombinant versions of the spike protein and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) are necessary for seropositivity assays and can potentially serve as vaccines against viral infection. RBD plays key roles in the spike protein's structure and function, and thus, comprehensive characterization of recombinant RBD is critically important for biopharmaceutical applications. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry has been widely used to characterize post-translational modifications in proteins, including glycosylation. Most studies of RBDs were performed at the proteolytic peptide (bottom-up proteomics) or released glycan level because of the technical challenges in resolving highly heterogeneous glycans at the intact protein level. Herein, we evaluated several online separation techniques: (1) C2 reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), (2) capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), and (3) acrylamide-based monolithic hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) to separate intact recombinant RBDs with varying combinations of glycosylations (glycoforms) for top-down mass spectrometry (MS). Within the conditions we explored, the HILIC method was superior to RPLC and CZE at separating RBD glycoforms, which differ significantly in neutral glycan groups. In addition, our top-down analysis readily captured unexpected modifications (e.g., cysteinylation and N-terminal sequence variation) and low abundance, heavily glycosylated proteoforms that may be missed by using glycopeptide data alone. The HILIC top-down MS platform holds great potential in resolving heterogeneous glycoproteins for facile comparison of biosimilars in quality control applications.

[PMID: 35091091 PMCID: PMC8933705 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2022.100205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Rapidly improving methods for glycoproteomics have enabled increasingly large-scale analyses of complex glycopeptide samples, but annotating the resulting mass spectrometry data with high confidence remains a major bottleneck. We recently introduced a fast and sensitive glycoproteomics search method in our MSFragger search engine, which reports glycopeptides as a combination of a peptide sequence and the mass of the attached glycan. In samples with complex glycosylation patterns, converting this mass to a specific glycan composition is not straightforward; however, as many glycans have similar or identical masses. Here, we have developed a new method for determining the glycan composition of N-linked glycopeptides fragmented by collisional or hybrid activation that uses multiple sources of information from the spectrum, including observed glycan B-type (oxonium) and Y-type ions and mass and precursor monoisotopic selection errors to discriminate between possible glycan candidates. Combined with false discovery rate estimation for the glycan assignment, we show that this method is capable of specifically and sensitively identifying glycans in complex glycopeptide analyses and effectively controls the rate of false glycan assignments. The new method has been incorporated into the PTM-Shepherd modification analysis tool to work directly with the MSFragger glyco search in the FragPipe graphical user interface, providing a complete computational pipeline for annotation of N-glycopeptide spectra with false discovery rate control of both peptide and glycan components that is both sensitive and robust against false identifications. Identifying the glycan on intact glycopeptides remains difficult in glycoproteomics. We developed a method to assign glycan compositions in N-glycoproteomics searches. We demonstrate well-controlled glycan FDR in multiple sample types. The method annotates more glycopeptide spectra than competing tools. The method is included PTM-Shepherd for a full glycoproteomics workflow in FragPipe.

Abstract
Proteomics-large-scale studies of proteins-has over the last decade gained an enormous interest for studies aimed at revealing proteins and pathways involved in disease. To fully understand biological and pathological processes it is crucial to also include post-translational modifications in the "omics". To this end, glycomics (identification and quantification of glycans enzymatically or chemically released from proteins) and glycoproteomics (identification and quantification of peptides/proteins with the glycans still attached) is gaining interest. The study of protein glycosylation requires a workflow that involves an array of sample preparation and analysis steps that needs to be carefully considered. Herein, we briefly touch upon important steps such as sample preparation and preconcentration, glycan release, glycan derivatization and quantification and advances in mass spectrometry that today are the work-horse for glycomics and glycoproteomics studies. Several proteins related to Alzheimer disease pathogenesis have altered protein glycosylation, and recent glycomics studies have shown differences in cerebrospinal fluid as well as in brain tissue in Alzheimer disease as compared to controls. In this review, we discuss these techniques and how they have been used to shed light on Alzheimer disease and to find glycan biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid.

Abstract
Development of high-resolution/accurate mass liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methodology enables the characterization of covalently modified DNA induced by interaction with genotoxic agents in complex biological samples. Constant neutral loss monitoring of 2'-deoxyribose or the nucleobases using data-dependent acquisition represents a powerful approach for the unbiased detection of DNA modifications (adducts). The lack of available bioinformatics tools necessitates manual processing of acquired spectral data and hampers high throughput application of these techniques. To address this limitation, we present an automated workflow for the detection and curation of putative DNA adducts by using diagnostic fragmentation filtering of LC-MS/MS experiments within the open-source software MZmine. The workflow utilizes a new feature detection algorithm, DFBuilder, which employs diagnostic fragmentation filtering using a user-defined list of fragmentation patterns to reproducibly generate feature lists for precursor ions of interest. The DFBuilder feature detection approach readily fits into a complete small-molecule discovery workflow and drastically reduces the processing time associated with analyzing DNA adductomics results. We validate our workflow using a mixture of authentic DNA adduct standards and demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by reproducing and expanding the results of a previously published study of colibactin-induced DNA adducts. The reported workflow serves as a technique to assess the diagnostic potential of novel fragmentation pattern combinations for the unbiased detection of chemical classes of interest.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation, the addition of a single N-acetylglucosamine residue to serine and threonine residues of cytoplasmic, nuclear, or mitochondrial proteins, is a widespread regulatory posttranslational modification. It is involved in the response to nutritional status and stress, and its dysregulation is associated with diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to diabetes. Although the modification was first detected over 35 years ago, research into the function of O-GlcNAcylation has accelerated dramatically in the last 10 years owing to the development of new enrichment and mass spectrometry techniques that facilitate its analysis. This article summarizes methods for O-GlcNAc enrichment, key mass spectrometry instrumentation advancements, particularly those that allow modification site localization, and software tools that allow analysis of data from O-GlcNAc-modified peptides.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a prevalent, yet heterogeneous modification with a broad range of implications in molecular biology. This heterogeneity precludes enrichment strategies that can be universally beneficial for all glycan classes. Thus, choice of enrichment strategy has profound implications on experimental outcomes. Here we review common enrichment strategies used in modern mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomic experiments, including lectins and other affinity chromatographies, hydrophilic interaction chromatography and its derivatives, porous graphitic carbon, reversible and irreversible chemical coupling strategies, and chemical biology tools that often leverage bioorthogonal handles. Interest in glycoproteomics continues to surge as mass spectrometry instrumentation and software improve, so this review aims to help equip researchers with the necessary information to choose appropriate enrichment strategies that best complement these efforts.

Abstract
Glycopeptides in peptide or digested protein samples pose a number of analytical and bioinformatics challenges beyond those posed by unmodified peptides or peptides with smaller posttranslational modifications. Exact structural elucidation of glycans is generally beyond the capability of a single mass spectrometry experiment, so a reasonable level of identification for tandem mass spectrometry, taken by several glycopeptide software tools, is that of peptide sequence and glycan composition, meaning the number of monosaccharides of each distinct mass, e.g., HexNAc(2)Hex(5) rather than man5. Even at this level, however, glycopeptide analysis poses challenges: finding glycopeptide spectra when they are a tiny fraction of the total spectra; assigning spectra with unanticipated glycans, not in the initial glycan database; and finding, scoring, and labeling diagnostic peaks in tandem mass spectra. Here, we discuss recent improvements to Byonic, a glycoproteomics search program, that address these three issues. Byonic now supports filtering spectra by m/z peaks, so that the user can limit attention to spectra with diagnostic peaks, e.g., at least two out of three of 204.087 for HexNAc, 274.092 for NeuAc (with water loss), and 366.139 for HexNAc-Hex, all within a set mass tolerance, e.g., ± 0.01 Da. Also, new is glycan "wildcard" search, which allows an unspecified mass within a user-set mass range to be applied to N- or O-linked glycans and enables assignment of spectra with unanticipated glycans. Finally, the next release of Byonic supports user-specified peak annotations from user-defined posttranslational modifications. We demonstrate the utility of these new software features by finding previously unrecognized glycopeptides in publicly available data, including glycosylated neuropeptides from rat brain.

Abstract
Changes in mucin-type O-glycosylation of human proteins affect protein function, immune response, and cancer progression. Since O-glycoproteins are characterized by the microheterogeneity of diverse O-glycans with no conserved sequence and the macroheterogeneity of multiple glycosylation sites on serine and/or threonine in human proteins, the assessment of different mucin types, such as Tn-antigen, core 1, and core 2, and their extended core types in O-glycopeptides, is extremely challenging. Here, we present an O-GlycoProteome Analyzer (O-GPA) that automatically classifies mucin-type O-glycosylation using higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) in mass spectrometry. First, we estimated the number of GlcNAc residues using the intensity ratio of GlcNAc-specific fragment ions (HexNAc-CH6O3 and HexNAc-2H2O) over GalNAc-specific fragment ions (HexNAc-C2H6O3 and HexNAc-C2H4O2) in the HCD spectrum. Furthermore, we classified the different mucin types of O-glycopeptides from characteristic B2 (HexNAc2) or Y2α (PEP + HexNAc2), and Y2β (PEP + HexNAcHex) fragment ions, along with the number of GlcNAc. Furthermore, O-GPA automatically determined single or multiple O-glycosylation, regardless of the mucin types. The mucin type of O-glycopeptides from human urine and plasma was confirmed with an overall accuracy of 96%. We found 97 core 1, 56 core 2, 13 extended core 1, and 12 extended core 2 glycopeptides from urine; and 22 core 1, 13 core 2, 7 extended core 1, 1 extended core 2, and 1 Tn-antigen from plasma. Our strategy can be used to successfully characterize specific mucin types of O-glycoproteins in human biological samples.

Abstract
![]()
Site-specific
characterization of glycosylation requires intact
glycopeptide analysis, and recent efforts have focused on how to best
interrogate glycopeptides using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
Beam-type collisional activation, i.e., higher-energy collisional
dissociation (HCD), has been a valuable approach, but stepped collision
energy HCD (sceHCD) and electron transfer dissociation with HCD supplemental
activation (EThcD) have emerged as potentially more suitable alternatives.
Both sceHCD and EThcD have been used with success in large-scale glycoproteomic
experiments, but they each incur some degree of compromise. Most progress
has occurred in the area of N-glycoproteomics. There
is growing interest in extending this progress to O-glycoproteomics, which necessitates comparisons of method performance
for the two classes of glycopeptides. Here, we systematically explore
the advantages and disadvantages of conventional HCD, sceHCD, ETD,
and EThcD for intact glycopeptide analysis and determine their suitability
for both N- and O-glycoproteomic
applications. For N-glycopeptides, HCD and sceHCD
generate similar numbers of identifications, although sceHCD generally
provides higher quality spectra. Both significantly outperform EThcD
methods in terms of identifications, indicating that ETD-based methods
are not required for routine N-glycoproteomics even
if they can generate higher quality spectra. Conversely, ETD-based
methods, especially EThcD, are indispensable for site-specific analyses
of O-glycopeptides. Our data show that O-glycopeptides cannot be robustly characterized with HCD-centric
methods that are sufficient for N-glycopeptides,
and glycoproteomic methods aiming to characterize O-glycopeptides must be constructed accordingly.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a major post-translational modification of proteins that regulates many biological processes including protein folding, structure stability, receptor activation, and immune responses. The glycans attached to proteins represent an important determinant of the protein interaction-specificity and maintain the 3D structure of proteins. Mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the most efficient tools used in the current studies of glycoproteins and structure of their glycoforms. Collision energy (CE) is a crucial instrument parameter that can be exploited to improve structural resolution because different linkages of glycan units show different stabilities under CID/HCD fragmentation. Here we report the utility of CE modulation for qualitative and quantitative analysis of site- and structure-specific glycoforms of proteins. Using CE modulation, we were able to break selectively specific glycan linkages on intact glycopeptides and get, to some degree, structure-specific mass spectrometric signals. Structure- and CE-specific oxonium ions provide sufficient information for the resolution of outer arm structure motifs with recognized biological functions. The complementary Y-ions, generated under optimized low CE (soft) conditions, provide additional structural information including features specific to the chitobiose core. This methodology of multiple CE fragmentation without merging spectral information can significantly improve confidence of glycopeptide identification and structural resolution by providing additional information to the established glycopeptide-search algorithms and tools.

Abstract
O-Glycopeptides derived from natural bioresources are an attractive material for a variety of purposes. Whey protein products are used as a human dietary supplement and in animal feed and are a readily available resource for the preparation of O-glycopeptides. The protein composition of bovine milk is well-studied, and many glycoproteins carrying N-glycans and O-glycans have been found in commercial whey protein products. In particular, κ-casein glycomacropeptide and lactophorin, which have several O-glycans, are known to exist in whey protein. Here, we report an isolation method of O-glycopeptides bearing disialyl core 1 type and core 2 type glycan moieties from commercially available whey protein products using proteose peptone extraction, enzymatic digestion (with trypsin or thermolysin), and sequential high-performance liquid chromatography purification. We were able to isolate several kinds of O-glycopeptides from lactophorin and κ-casein: six peptide sequences and five kinds of O-glycans. The O-glycopeptides were detected and identified by flow injection analysis combined with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry using collision-induced dissociation and electron transfer dissociation. O-Glycopeptides bearing a variety of O-glycans could be used as a substrate for endo-α-N-acetyl galactosaminidase, and their various O-glycan structures were useful for the investigation of enzyme activities.

Abstract
Intact glycopeptide analysis is becoming more common with developments in mass spectrometry instrumentation and fragmentation approaches. In particular, collision-based fragmentation approaches such as higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) and radical-driven fragmentation approaches such as electron transfer dissociation (ETD) provide complementary information, but bioinformatic strategies to utilize this combined information are currently lacking. In this work we adapted a software tool, MS-Filter, to search HCD peak list files for predicted Y ions based on matched EThcD results to propose additional glycopeptide assignments. The strategy proved to be extremely powerful for O-glycopeptide data, and also of benefit for N-linked data, where it allowed rescue of low confidence results from database searching.

Abstract
Glycopeptides represent cross-linked structures between chemically and physically different biomolecules. Mass spectrometric analysis of O-glycopeptides may reveal the identity of the peptide, the composition of the glycan and even the connection between certain sugar units, but usually only the combination of different MS/MS techniques provides sufficient information for reliable assignment. Currently, HCD analysis followed by diagnostic sugar fragment-triggered ETD or EThcD experiments is the most promising data acquisition protocol. However, the information content of the different MS/MS data is handled separately by search engines. We are convinced that these data should be used in concert, as we demonstrate in the present study. First, glycopeptides bearing the most common glycans can be identified from EThcD and/or HCD data. Then, searching for Y0 (the gas-phase deglycosylated peptide) in HCD spectra, the potential glycoforms of these glycopeptides could be lined up. Finally, these spectra and the corresponding EThcD data can be used to verify or discard the tentative assignments and to obtain further structural information about the glycans. We present 18 novel human urinary sialoglycan structures deciphered using this approach. To accomplish this in an automated fashion further software development is necessary.

Abstract
The sequence-specific retention calculator algorithm (SSRCalc) [ Krokhin , O. V. Anal. Chem. 2006 , 78 , 7785 ] was adapted for the prediction of retention times of N-glycopeptides separated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPLC). The retention time shifts (dHI = HIglyco - HIdeglyco, where HI is the hydrophobicity index, measured in percent acetonitrile units) used for modeling were measured for 602 glycopeptides versus 123 of their deglycosylated analogues. Our method used a tryptic digest of 12 purified glycoproteins, glycopeptide enrichment, deglycosylation with PNGaseF, and RPLC-MS/MS analysis of combined (deglycosylated and intact) peptide mixtures. On average, glycosylation yields a 0.79% acetonitrile unit decrease in retention, compared with the hydrophobicity indices of their deglycosylated analogues. These values, however, are drastically different for asialo (-1.37% acetonitrile units), monosialylated (-0.47% acetonitrile units), disialylated (+0.61% acetonitrile units), and trisialylated (+1.94% acetonitrile units) glycans. Peptide retention time shifts upon glycosylation (dHI) vary depending on the number of monosaccharide units, the presence or absence of sialic acid, peptide hydrophobicity, and the number of position-dependent features. These features are mostly driven by competing effects of acidic residues (aspartic acid and sialic acid) on ion-pair formation and by nearest-neighbor effects of hydrophilic glycans. The accuracy of the modified prediction model for glycopeptides approaches that of the prediction for nonmodified species (R2 = 0.97 vs 0.98). However, retention time prediction based on the experimental retention values of deglycosylated analogues (HIglyco = HIdeglyco + dHI, R2 = 0.995) is much more accurate, thus providing a solid support for glycopeptide identification in complex samples based on mass and retention time.

Abstract
O-acetylated sialic acid (SA) attached to the N-glycans of therapeutic glycoproteins reportedly inhibit sialidase activity, increase protein half-life, decrease protein antigenicity, and stabilize protein conformation. Recombinant human acid α-glucosidase (Myozyme) is the only drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Pompe disease. In this study, unreported N-glycans containing O-acetylated SA in Myozyme and the relative quantities of total glycans were investigated using liquid chromatography (LC)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-high-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The 17 N-glycans (6.4% of total glycans) containing mono-, di-, mono/di-, and di/di-O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) were identified with mass accuracy, glycan-generated fragment ions, and the retention time on an LC column. The analysis of peptides containing mono- and/or di-O-acetylated Neu5Ac ions sorted from all peptides using nano-LC-ESI-HCD-MS/MS confirmed six O-acetylation sites (Asn 140, Asn 233, Asn 390, Asn 470, Asn 652, and Asn 882), at least five of which (Asn 140, Asn 233, Asn 390, Asn 470, and Asn 652) could contribute to the drug efficacy or cellular uptake of Myozyme. This is the first study to identify N-glycans containing O-acetylated Neu5Ac and O-acetylation sites in Myozyme.

Abstract
An early pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits in the brain, which largely consist of up to 43 amino acids long Aβ peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP). We previously identified a series of sialylated Tyr-10 O-glycosylated Aβ peptides, 15-20 residues long, from human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and observed a relative increase of those in AD vs non-AD patients. We report here on the synthesis and use of an isotopically double-labeled Aβ1-15 glycopeptide, carrying the core 1 Galβ3GalNAcα1-O-Tyr-10 structure, to (1) identify by HCD LC-MS/MS the definite glycan core 1 structure of immunopurified and desialylated Aβ glycopeptides in human CSF and to (2) establish a LC-MS/MS quantification method for desialylated Aβ1-15 (and Aβ1-17) glycopeptides and to (3) compare the concentrations of these Aβ glycopeptides in CSF from 20 AD patients and 20 healthy controls. Although we unambiguously identified the core 1 structures and Tyr-10 attachment sites of the glycopeptides, we did not observe any quantitative differences, determined through both peptide and oxonium ion fragments, of the desialylated Aβ1-15 or Aβ1-17 glycopeptides between the AD and non-AD group. The new quantitative glycoproteomic approach described, using double-labeled glycopeptide standards, will undoubtedly facilitate future studies of glycopeptides as clinical biomarkers but should also embrace sialylated Aβ standards to reveal specific sialylation patterns of individual Aβ glycopeptides in AD patients and controls.

Abstract
A relatively novel activation technique, electron-transfer/higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD) was used in the LC-MS/MS analysis of tryptic glycopeptides enriched with wheat germ agglutinin from human urine samples. We focused on the characterization of mucin-type O-glycopeptides. EThcD in a single spectrum provided information on both the peptide modified and the glycan carried. Unexpectedly, glycan oxonium ions indicated the presence of O-acetyl, and even O-diacetyl-sialic acids. B and Y fragment ions revealed that (i) in core 1 structures the Gal residue featured the O-acetyl-sialic acid, when there was only one in the glycan; (ii) several glycopeptides featured core 1 glycans with disialic acids, in certain instances O-acetylated; (iii) the disialic acid was linked to the GalNAc residue whatever the degree of O-acetylation; (iv) core 2 isomers with a single O-acetyl-sialic acid were chromatographically resolved. Glycan fragmentation also helped to decipher additional core 2 oligosaccharides: a LacdiNAc-like structure, glycans carrying sialyl LewisX/A at different stages of O-acetylation, and blood antigens. A sialo core 3 structure was also identified. We believe this is the first study when such structures were characterized from a very complex mixture and were linked not only to a specific protein, but also the sites of modifications have been determined.

Abstract
Sialic acids are a family of structurally unique and negatively charged nine-carbon sugars, normally found at the terminal positions of glycan chains on glycoproteins and glycolipids. The glycosylation of proteins is a universal post-translational modification in eukaryotic species and regulates essential biological functions, in which the most common sialic acid is N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (2-keto-5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-D-galactononulopyranos-1-onic acid) (Neu5NAc). Because of the properties of sialic acids under general mass spectrometry (MS) conditions, such as instability, ionization discrimination, and mixed adducts, the use of MS in the analysis of protein sialoglycosylation is still challenging. The present review is focused on the application of MS related methodologies to the study of both N- and O-linked sialoglycans. We reviewed MS-based strategies for characterizing sialylation by analyzing intact glycoproteins, proteolytic digested glycopeptides, and released glycans. The review concludes with future perspectives in the field.

Abstract
Distinct structural changes of the α2,3/α2,6-sialic acid glycosidic linkages on glycoproteins are of importance in cancer biology, inflammatory diseases, and virus tropism. Current glycoproteomic methodologies are, however, not amenable toward high-throughput characterization of sialic acid isomers. To enable such assignments, a mass spectrometry method utilizing synthetic model glycopeptides for the analysis of oxonium ion intensity ratios was developed. This method was successfully applied in large-scale glycoproteomics, thus allowing the site-specific structural characterization of sialic acid isomers.

Abstract
A very complex mixture of intact, human N- and O-glycopeptides, enriched from the tryptic digest of urinary proteins of three healthy donors using a two-step lectin affinity enrichment, was analyzed by LC-MS/MS, leading to approximately 45,000 glycopeptide EThcD spectra. Two search engines, Byonic and Protein Prospector, were used for the interpretation of the data, and N- and O-linked glycopeptides were assigned from separate searches. The identification rate was very low in all searches, even when results were combined. Thus, we investigated the reasons why was it so, to help to improve the identification success rate. Focusing on O-linked glycopeptides, we noticed that in EThcD, larger glycan oxonium ions better survive the activation than those in HCD. These fragments, combined with reducing terminal Y ions, provide important information about the glycan(s) present, so we investigated whether filtering the peaklists for glycan oxonium ions indicating the presence of a tetra- or hexasaccharide structure would help to reveal all molecules containing such glycans. Our study showed that intact glycans frequently do not survive even mild supplemental activation, meaning one cannot rely on these oxonium ions exclusively. We found that ETD efficiency is still a limiting factor, and for highly glycosylated peptides, the only information revealed in EThcD was related to the glycan structures. The limited overlap of results delivered by the two search engines draws attention to the fact that automated data interpretation of O-linked glycopeptides is not even close to being solved.

Abstract
Glycosylation is perhaps the most common post-translational modification. Recently there has been growing interest in cataloging the glycan structures, glycoproteins, and specific sites modified and deciphering the biological functions of glycosylation. Although the results are piling up for N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation is seriously trailing behind. In our review we reiterate the difficulties researchers have to overcome in order to characterize O-glycosylation. We describe how an ingenious cell engineering method delivered exciting results, and what could we gain from "wild-type" samples. Although we refer to the biological role(s) of O-glycosylation, we do not provide a complete inventory on this topic.

Lin CH, Krisp C, Packer NH, Molloy MP. Development of a data independent acquisition mass spectrometry workflow to enable glycopeptide analysis without predefined glycan compositional knowledge. J Proteomics 2017; 172:68-75. [PMID: 29069609 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2017.10.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2017] [Revised: 10/16/2017] [Accepted: 10/20/2017] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Glycoproteomics investigates glycan moieties in a site specific manner to reveal the functional roles of protein glycosylation. Identification of glycopeptides from data-dependent acquisition (DDA) relies on high quality MS/MS spectra of glycopeptide precursors and often requires manual validation to ensure confident assignments. In this study, we investigated pseudo-MRM (MRM-HR) and data-independent acquisition (DIA) as alternative acquisition strategies for glycopeptide analysis. These approaches allow data acquisition over the full MS/MS scan range allowing data re-analysis post-acquisition, without data re-acquisition. The advantage of MRM-HR over DDA for N-glycopeptide detection was demonstrated from targeted analysis of bovine fetuin where all three N-glycosylation sites were detected, which was not the case with DDA. To overcome the duty cycle limitation of MRM-HR acquisition needed for analysis of complex samples such as plasma we trialed DIA. This allowed development of a targeted DIA method to identify N-glycopeptides without pre-defined knowledge of the glycan composition, thus providing the potential to identify N-glycopeptides with unexpected structures. This workflow was demonstrated by detection of 59 N-glycosylation sites from 41 glycoproteins from a HILIC enriched human plasma tryptic digest. 21 glycoforms of IgG1 glycopeptides were identified including two truncated structures that are rarely reported. SIGNIFICANCE We developed a data-independent mass spectrometry workflow to identify specific glycopeptides from complex biological mixtures. The novelty is that this approach does not require glycan composition to be pre-defined, thereby allowing glycopeptides carrying unexpected glycans to be identified. This is demonstrated through the analysis of immunoglobulins in human plasma where we detected two IgG1 glycoforms that are rarely observed.

Abstract
The precise and large-scale identification of intact glycopeptides is a critical step in glycoproteomics. Owing to the complexity of glycosylation, the current overall throughput, data quality and accessibility of intact glycopeptide identification lack behind those in routine proteomic analyses. Here, we propose a workflow for the precise high-throughput identification of intact N-glycopeptides at the proteome scale using stepped-energy fragmentation and a dedicated search engine. pGlyco 2.0 conducts comprehensive quality control including false discovery rate evaluation at all three levels of matches to glycans, peptides and glycopeptides, improving the current level of accuracy of intact glycopeptide identification. The N-glycoproteome of samples metabolically labeled with 15N/13C were analyzed quantitatively and utilized to validate the glycopeptide identification, which could be used as a novel benchmark pipeline to compare different search engines. Finally, we report a large-scale glycoproteome dataset consisting of 10,009 distinct site-specific N-glycans on 1988 glycosylation sites from 955 glycoproteins in five mouse tissues. Protein glycosylation is a heterogeneous post-translational modification that generates greater proteomic diversity that is difficult to analyze. Here the authors describe pGlyco 2.0, a workflow for the precise one step identification of intact N-glycopeptides at the proteome scale.

Abstract
Analysis of the glycosylation of proteins is a challenge that requires orthogonal methods to achieve separation of the diverse glycoforms. A combination of reversed phase chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (RP-LC-MS/MS) is one of the most powerful tools for glycopeptide analysis. In this work, we developed and compared RP-LC and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) in nanoscale on a chip combined with MS/MS in order to separate glycoforms of two peptides obtained from the tryptic digest of hemopexin. We observed reduction of the retention time with decreasing polarity of glycans attached to the same peptide backbone in HILIC. The opposite effect was observed for RP-LC. The presence of sialic acids prolonged the retention of glycopeptides in both chromatographic modes. The nanoHILIC method provided higher selectivity based on the composition of glycan, compared to nanoRP-LC but a lower sensitivity. The nanoHILIC method was able to partially separate linkage isomers of fucose (core and outer arm) on bi-antennary glycoform of SWPAVGDCSSALR glycopeptide, which is beneficial in the elucidation of the structure of the fucosylated glycoforms.

Abstract
Analysis of glycosylation is challenging due to micro- and macro-heterogeneity of the protein attachment. A combination of LC with MS/MS is one of the most powerful tools for glycopeptide analysis. In this work, we show the effect of various monosaccharide units on the retention time of glycopeptides. Retention behavior of several glycoforms of six peptides obtained from tryptic digest of haptoglobin, hemopexin, and sex hormone-binding globulin was studied on a reversed phase chromatographic column. We observed reduction of the retention time with increasing number of monosaccharide units of glycans attached to the same peptide backbone. Fucosylation of larger glycans provides less significant retention time shift than for smaller ones. Retention times of glycopeptides were expressed as relative retention times. These relative retention times were used for calculation of upper and lower limits of glycopeptide retention time windows under the reversed phase conditions. We then demonstrated on the case of a glycopeptide of haptoglobin that the predicted retention time window boosts confidence of identification and minimizes false-positive identification. Relative retention time, as a qualitative parameter, is expected to improve LC-MS/MS characterization of glycopeptides.

Abstract
Genetic studies have shown essential functions of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification in plants. However, the proteins and sites subject to this posttranslational modification are largely unknown. Here, we report a large-scale proteomic identification of O-GlcNAc-modified proteins and sites in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana Using lectin weak affinity chromatography to enrich modified peptides, followed by mass spectrometry, we identified 971 O-GlcNAc-modified peptides belonging to 262 proteins. The modified proteins are involved in cellular regulatory processes, including transcription, translation, epigenetic gene regulation, and signal transduction. Many proteins have functions in developmental and physiological processes specific to plants, such as hormone responses and flower development. Mass spectrometric analysis of phosphopeptides from the same samples showed that a large number of peptides could be modified by either O-GlcNAcylation or phosphorylation, but cooccurrence of the two modifications in the same peptide molecule was rare. Our study generates a snapshot of the O-GlcNAc modification landscape in plants, indicating functions in many cellular regulation pathways and providing a powerful resource for further dissecting these functions at the molecular level.

Abstract
The very existence of extracellular phosphorylation has been questioned for a long time, although casein phosphorylation was discovered a century ago. In addition, several modification sites localized on secreted proteins or on extracellular or lumenal domains of transmembrane proteins have been catalogued in large scale phosphorylation analyses, though in most such studies this aspect of cellular localization was not considered. Our review presents examples when additional analyses were performed on already public data sets that revealed a wealth of information about this "neglected side" of the modification. We also sum up accumulated knowledge about extracellular phosphorylation, including the discovery of Golgi-residing kinases and the special difficulties encountered in targeted analyses. We hope future phosphorylation studies will not ignore the existence of phosphorylation outside of the cell, and further discoveries will shed more light on its biological role.

Abstract
Growing evidence on the diverse biological roles of extracellular glycosylation as well as the need for quality control of protein pharmaceuticals make glycopeptide analysis both exciting and important again after a long hiatus. High-throughput O-glycosylation studies have to tackle the complexity of glycosylation as well as technical difficulties and, up to now, have yielded only limited results mostly from single enrichment experiments. In this study, we address the technical reproducibility of the characterization of the most prevalent O-glycosylation (mucin-type core 1 structures) in human serum, using a two-step lectin affinity-based workflow. Our results are based on automated glycopeptide identifications from higher-energy C-trap dissociation and electron transfer dissociation MS/MS data. Assignments meeting strict acceptance criteria served as the foundation for generating "spectral families" incorporating low-scoring MS/MS identifications, supported by accurate mass measurements and expected chromatographic retention times. We show that this approach helped to evaluate the reproducibility of the glycopeptide enrichment more reliably and also contributed to the expansion of the glycoform repertoire of already identified glycosylated sequences. The roadblocks hindering more in-depth investigations and quantitative analyses will also be discussed.

Abstract
New mass spectrometry instrumentation, particularly those with electron transfer dissociation fragmentation, has made the analysis of complex glycopeptide mixtures accessible. However, software tools need to be optimized for interpretation of this type of data. Glycopeptide identification is challenging due to the number of different peptide and sugar moieties that can be combined, leading to a large number of potential compositions to consider. In this manuscript, different strategies for reducing the number of peptides and glycopeptides considered in database searching are compared. Adaptation of the software Protein Prospector to support the use of a reference modification site database doubled the number of glycopeptide IDs. The potential of this as an improved analysis strategy is discussed. Graphical abstract This manuscript compares the use of a restricted protein database based on a list of accession numbers of identified proteins to the use of a modification site database for intact glycopeptide analysis. It was found that the modification database is more effective for glycopeptide identification, particularly for larger glycopeptides.

Abstract
Glycoproteins influence numerous indispensable biological functions, and changes in protein glycosylation have been observed in various diseases. The identification and characterization of glycoprotein and glycosylation sites by mass spectrometry (MS) remain challenging tasks, and great efforts have been devoted to the development of proteome informatics tools that facilitate the MS analysis of glycans and glycopeptides. Here we report on the development of gFinder, a web-based bioinformatics tool that analyzes mixtures of native N-glycopeptides that have been profiled by tandem MS. gFinder not only enables the simultaneous integration of collision-induced dissociation (CID) and high-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) fragmentation but also merges the spectra for high-throughput analysis. These merged spectra expedite the identification of both glycans and N-glycopeptide backbones in tandem MS data using the glycan database and a proteomic search tool (e.g., Mascot). These data can be used to simultaneously characterize peptide backbone sequences and possible N-glycan structures using assigned scores. gFinder also provides many convenient functions that make it easy to perform manual calculations while viewing the spectrum on-screen. We used gFinder to detect an additional protein (Q8N9B8) that was missed from the previously published data set containing N-linked glycosylation. For N-glycan analysis, we used the GlycomeDB glycan structure database, which integrates the structural and taxonomic data from all of the major carbohydrate databases available in the public domain. Thus, gFinder is a convenient, high-throughput analytical tool for interpreting the tandem mass spectra of N-glycopeptides, which can then be used for identification of potential missing proteins having glycans. gFinder is available publicly at http://gFinder.proteomix.org/ .

Abstract
The glycoproteome remains severely understudied because of significant analytical challenges associated with glycoproteomics, the system-wide analysis of intact glycopeptides. This review introduces important structural aspects of protein N-glycosylation and summarizes the latest technological developments and applications in LC-MS/MS-based qualitative and quantitative N-glycoproteomics. These maturing technologies provide unique structural insights into the N-glycoproteome and its synthesis and regulation by complementing existing methods in glycoscience. Modern glycoproteomics is now sufficiently mature to initiate efforts to capture the molecular complexity displayed by the N-glycoproteome, opening exciting opportunities to increase our understanding of the functional roles of protein N-glycosylation in human health and disease.

Abstract
This study presents the first large-scale analysis of plant intact glycopeptides. Using wheat germ agglutinin lectin weak affinity chromatography to enrich modified peptides, followed by electron transfer dissociation (ETD)(1) fragmentation tandem mass spectrometry, glycan compositions on over 1100 glycopeptides from 270 proteins found in Arabidopsis inflorescence tissue were characterized. While some sites were only detected with a single glycan attached, others displayed up to 16 different glycoforms. Among the identified glycopeptides were four modified in nonconsensus glycosylation motifs. While most of the modified proteins are secreted, membrane, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), or Golgi-localized proteins, surprisingly, N-linked sugars were detected on a protein predicted to be cytosolic or nuclear.

Abstract
Glycosylation plays an important role in ensuring the proper structure and function of most biotherapeutic proteins. Even small changes in glycan composition, structure, or location can have a drastic impact on drug safety and efficacy. Recently, glycosylation has become the subject of increased focus as biopharmaceutical companies rush to create not only biosimilars, but also biobetters based on existing biotherapeutic proteins. Against this backdrop of ongoing biopharmaceutical innovation, updated methods for accurate and detailed analysis of protein glycosylation are critical for biopharmaceutical companies and government regulatory agencies alike. This review summarizes current methods of characterizing biopharmaceutical glycosylation, including compositional mass profiling, isomer-specific profiling and structural elucidation by MS and hyphenated techniques.

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based fragmentation analysis of glycopeptides. Glycoconj J 2016; 33:261-72. [PMID: 26780731 DOI: 10.1007/s10719-016-9649-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2015] [Revised: 12/23/2015] [Accepted: 01/04/2016] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
The use of liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS(n)) for the glycoproteomic characterization of glycopeptides is a growing field of research. The N- and O-glycosylated peptides (N- and O-glycopeptides) analyzed typically originate from protease-digested glycoproteins where many of them are expected to be biomedically important. Examples of LC-MS(2) and MS(3) fragmentation strategies used to pursue glycan structure, peptide identity and attachment-site identification analyses of glycopeptides are described in this review. MS(2) spectra, using the CID and HCD fragmentation techniques of a complex biantennary N-glycopeptide and a core 1 O-glycopeptide, representing two examples of commonly studied glycopeptide types, are presented. A few practical tips for accomplishing glycopeptide analysis using reversed-phase LC-MS(n) shotgun proteomics settings, together with references to the latest glycoproteomic studies, are presented.

Darula Z, Sarnyai F, Medzihradszky KF. O-glycosylation sites identified from mucin core-1 type glycopeptides from human serum. Glycoconj J 2016; 33:435-45. [PMID: 26729242 DOI: 10.1007/s10719-015-9630-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2015] [Revised: 10/09/2015] [Accepted: 10/14/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
In this work O-linked glycopeptides bearing mucin core-1 type structures were enriched from human serum. Since about 70 % of the O-glycans in human serum bind to the plant lectin Jacalin, we tested a previously successful protocol that combined Jacalin affinity enrichment on the protein- and peptide-level with ERLIC chromatography as a further enrichment step in between, to eliminate the high background of unmodified peptides. In parallel, we developed a simpler and significantly faster new workflow that used two lectins sequentially: wheat germ agglutinin and then Jacalin. The first lectin provides general glycopeptide enrichment, while the second specifically enriches O-linked glycopeptides with Galβ1-3GalNAcα structures. Mass spectrometric analysis of enriched samples showed that the new sample preparation method is more selective and sensitive than the former. Altogether, 52 unique glycosylation sites in 20 proteins were identified in this study.
