Abstract

N-Linked glycoproteins are rich in seminal plasma, playing various essential roles in supporting sperm function and the fertilization process. However, the detailed information on these glycoproteins, particularly site-specific glycan structures, is still limited. In this study, a precision site-specific glycoproteome map of human seminal plasma was established by employing the site-specific glycoproteomic approach and a recently developed glycan structure interpretation software, StrucGP. A total of 9567 unique glycopeptides identified in human seminal plasma were composed of 773 N-linked glycan structures and 1019 -glycosites from 620 glycoproteins. These glycans were comprised of four types of core structures and 13 branch structures. The majority of identified glycoproteins functioned in response to stimulus and immunity. As we reported in human spermatozoa, heavy fucosylation (fucose residues ≥6 per glycan) was also detected on seminal plasma glycoproteins such as clusterin and galectin-3-binding protein, which were involved in the immune response of biological processes and reactome pathways. Comparison of site-specific glycans between seminal plasma and spermatozoa revealed more complicated glycan structures in seminal plasma than in spermatozoa, even on their shared glycoproteins. These present data will be greatly beneficial for the in-depth structural and functional study of glycosylation in the male reproduction system.

摘要

N-连接糖蛋白富含于精液中,在支持精子功能和受精过程中发挥着各种重要作用。然而,关于这些糖蛋白的详细信息,特别是特定位点糖基化结构,仍然有限。在这项研究中,通过采用特异性糖蛋白质组学方法和最近开发的聚糖结构解析软件 StrucGP,建立了人类精液的高精度特异性糖蛋白质组图谱。在人类精液中鉴定出的 9567 个独特的糖肽由 773 种 N-连接糖基化结构和 620 种糖蛋白中的 1019 个 -糖基化位点组成。这些糖基主要由四种核心结构和 13 种支链结构组成。大多数鉴定出的糖蛋白参与了对刺激和免疫的反应。正如我们在人类精子中报道的那样,在 clusterin 和半乳糖凝集素-3 结合蛋白等精液糖蛋白上也检测到了强烈的岩藻糖基化(每个聚糖的岩藻糖残基≥6),这些糖蛋白参与了生物过程和反应途径的免疫反应。对精液和精子中特异性糖链的比较表明,即使在共享糖蛋白上,精液中的糖链结构也比精子中更为复杂。这些现有数据将极大地有助于深入研究男性生殖系统中糖基化的结构和功能。
