Abstract

Mass spectrometry (MS) can unlock crucial insights into the intricate world of glycosylation analysis. Despite its immense potential, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of isobaric glycopeptide structures remains one of the most daunting hurdles in the field of glycoproteomics. The ability to distinguish between these complex glycan structures poses a significant challenge, hindering our ability to accurately measure and understand the role of glycoproteins in biological systems. A few recent publications described the use of collision energy (CE) modulation to improve structural elucidation, especially for qualitative purposes. Different linkages of glycan units usually demonstrate different stabilities under CID/HCD fragmentation conditions. Fragmentation of the glycan moiety produces low molecular weight ions (oxonium ions) that can serve as a structure-specific signature for specific glycan moieties, however, specificity of these fragments has never been examined closely. Here, we investigated fragmentation specificity using synthetic stable isotope-labelled glycopeptide standards. These standards were isotopically labelled at the reducing terminal GlcNAc, which allowed us to resolve fragments produced by oligomannose core moiety and fragments generated from outer antennary structures. Our research identified the potential for false positive structure assignments due to the occurrence of "Ghost" fragments resulting from single glyco unit rearrangement or mannose core fragmentation within the collision cell. To mitigate this issue, we have established a minimal intensity threshold for these fragments to prevent the misidentification of structure-specific fragments in glycoproteomics analysis. Our findings provide a crucial step forward in the quest for more accurate and reliable glycoproteomics measurements.

摘要

质谱(MS)能够为糖基化分析这一复杂领域带来关键的深刻见解。尽管其潜力巨大,但等压糖肽结构的定性和定量分析仍然是糖蛋白质组学领域最艰巨的障碍之一。区分这些复杂聚糖结构的能力构成了重大挑战,阻碍了我们准确测量和理解糖蛋白在生物系统中作用的能力。最近的一些出版物描述了使用碰撞能量(CE)调制来改善结构解析,特别是用于定性目的。聚糖单元的不同连接在CID/HCD碎片化条件下通常表现出不同的稳定性。聚糖部分的碎片化产生低分子量离子(氧鎓离子),这些离子可作为特定聚糖部分的结构特异性特征,然而,这些片段的特异性从未得到过仔细研究。在这里,我们使用合成的稳定同位素标记糖肽标准品研究了碎片化特异性。这些标准品在还原端的GlcNAc处进行了同位素标记,这使我们能够分辨由寡甘露糖核心部分产生的片段和由外部天线结构产生的片段。我们的研究发现,由于碰撞池中单个糖单元重排或甘露糖核心碎片化产生的“幽灵”片段,存在假阳性结构归属的可能性。为了缓解这个问题,我们为这些片段设定了一个最小强度阈值,以防止在糖蛋白质组学分析中错误识别结构特异性片段。我们的研究结果为实现更准确、更可靠的糖蛋白质组学测量迈出了关键的一步。
