Abstract
Covering: 1987 to 2023Naturally existing glycoproteins through post-translational protein glycosylation are highly heterogeneous, which not only impedes the structure-function studies, but also hinders the development of their potential medical usage. Chemical synthesis represents one of the most powerful tools to provide the structurally well-defined glycoforms. Being the key step of glycoprotein synthesis, glycosylation usually takes place at serine, threonine, and asparagine residues, leading to the predominant formation of the O- and N-glycans, respectively. However, other amino acid residues containing oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and nucleophilic carbon atoms have also been found to be glycosylated. These diverse glycoprotein linkages, occurring from microorganisms to plants and animals, play also pivotal biological roles, such as in cell-cell recognition and communication. The availability of these homogenous rare glycopeptides and glycoproteins can help decipher the glyco-code for developing therapeutic agents. This review highlights the chemical approaches for assembly of the functional glycopeptides and glycoproteins bearing these "rare" carbohydrate-amino acid linkages between saccharide and canonical amino acid residues and their derivatives.

Bashyal A, Brodbelt JS. Uncommon posttranslational modifications in proteomics: ADP-ribosylation, tyrosine nitration, and tyrosine sulfation. MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2024; 43:289-326. [PMID: 36165040 PMCID: PMC10040477 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are covalent modifications of proteins that modulate the structure and functions of proteins and regulate biological processes. The development of various mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflows has facilitated the identification of hundreds of PTMs and aided the understanding of biological significance in a high throughput manner. Improvements in sample preparation and PTM enrichment techniques, instrumentation for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and advanced data analysis tools enhance the specificity and sensitivity of PTM identification. Highly prevalent PTMs like phosphorylation, glycosylation, acetylation, ubiquitinylation, and methylation are extensively studied. However, the functions and impact of less abundant PTMs are not as well understood and underscore the need for analytical methods that aim to characterize these PTMs. This review focuses on the advancement and analytical challenges associated with the characterization of three less common but biologically relevant PTMs, specifically, adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation, tyrosine sulfation, and tyrosine nitration. The advantages and disadvantages of various enrichment, separation, and MS/MS techniques utilized to identify and localize these PTMs are described.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are crucial covalent processes that alter protein properties, achieved through proteolytic cleavage or addition of modifying groups like acetyl, phosphoryl, glycosyl, or methyl to amino acids. ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification, where ADP-ribose units are covalently attached to target protein side chains. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor that plays a key role in physiological and pathological conditions. Studies have reported that ADP-ribosylation affects VEGF's ability to bind to VEGF receptors, impacting angiogenesis signalling. However, the specific amino acid undergoing ADP-ribosylation on VEGF remained unknown. To understand the mechanism of ADP-ribose addition to VEGF, an in silico study was designed. The study initially checked for the presence of any conserved motif where ADP-ribosylation could potentially occur and identified the presence of the EIE motif in VEGF, a probable site for ADP-ribosylation for many proteins. Subsequently, the amino acids near this motif were selected and their structural properties were analyzed. Surface-exposed amino acids were chosen, and ADP-ribose was then added to their side chains. The results revealed that the amino acids ASP (67) and GLU (70) underwent glycosidic linkage with ADP-ribose, indicating that they are the most probable modification sites. Subsequently, Molecular dynamic simulation analysis such as RMSD, RMSF, Rg, PCA, and FEL, along with MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations were performed to understand the stability of the VEGF-ADP-ribose complexes. The analysis revealed that amino acid at position 67 (ASP67) is the most probable site for ADP-ribosylation in VEGF.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
One of the main virulence factors produced by Bordetella pertussis is pertussis toxin (PTx) which, in its inactivated form, is the major component of all marketed acellular pertussis vaccines. PTx ADP ribosylates Gαi proteins, thereby affecting the inhibition of adenylate cyclases and resulting in the accumulation of cAMP. Apart from this classical model, PTx also activates some receptors and can affect various ADP ribosylation- and adenylate cyclase-independent signalling pathways. Due to its potent ADP-ribosylation properties, PTx has been used in many research areas. Initially the research primarily focussed on the in vivo effects of the toxin, including histamine sensitization, insulin secretion and leukocytosis. Nowadays, PTx is also used in toxicology research, cell signalling, research involving the blood–brain barrier, and testing of neutralizing antibodies. However, the most important area of use is testing of acellular pertussis vaccines for the presence of residual PTx. In vivo models and in vitro assays for PTx often reflect one of the toxin’s properties or details of its mechanism. Here, the established and novel in vivo and in vitro methods used to evaluate PTx are reviewed, their mechanisms, characteristics and limitations are described, and their application for regulatory and research purposes are considered.

Abstract
The current knowledge regarding ADP-ribosylation modifications of histones, particularly mono-ADP-ribosylation modifications, is limited. However, recent studies have identified an increasing number of mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases and the role of mono-ADP-ribosylation has become a hot research topic. In particular, histones that are substrates of several mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases and mono-ADP-ribosylated histones were indicated to be involved in numerous physiological or pathological processes. Compared to poly-ADP-ribosylation histone modification, the use of mono-ADP-ribosylation histone modification is restricted by the limited methods for research into its function in physiological or pathological processes. The aim of the present review was to discuss the details regarding mono-ADP-ribosylation modification of histones and the currently known functions thereof, such as cell physiological and pathological processes, including tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent post-translational modification that is found on proteins as well as on nucleic acids. While ARTD1/PARP1-mediated poly-ADP-ribosylation has extensively been studied in the past 60 years, comparably little is known about the physiological function of mono-ADP-ribosylation and the enzymes involved in its turnover. Promising technological advances have enabled the development of innovative tools to detect NAD+ and NAD+/NADH (H for hydrogen) ratios as well as ADP-ribosylation. These tools have significantly enhanced our current understanding of how intracellular NAD dynamics contribute to the regulation of ADP-ribosylation as well as to how mono-ADP-ribosylation integrates into various cellular processes. Here, we discuss the recent technological advances, as well as associated new biological findings and concepts.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a protein modification responsible for biological processes such as DNA repair, RNA regulation, cell cycle and biomolecular condensate formation. Dysregulation of ADP-ribosylation is implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration and viral infection. We developed ADPriboDB (adpribodb.leunglab.org) to facilitate studies in uncovering insights into the mechanisms and biological significance of ADP-ribosylation. ADPriboDB 2.0 serves as a one-stop repository comprising 48 346 entries and 9097 ADP-ribosylated proteins, of which 6708 were newly identified since the original database release. In this updated version, we provide information regarding the sites of ADP-ribosylation in 32 946 entries. The wealth of information allows us to interrogate existing databases or newly available data. For example, we found that ADP-ribosylated substrates are significantly associated with the recently identified human protein interaction networks associated with SARS-CoV-2, which encodes a conserved protein domain called macrodomain that binds and removes ADP-ribosylation. In addition, we create a new interactive tool to visualize the local context of ADP-ribosylation, such as structural and functional features as well as other post-translational modifications (e.g. phosphorylation, methylation and ubiquitination). This information provides opportunities to explore the biology of ADP-ribosylation and generate new hypotheses for experimental testing.
