Low abundance and heterogeneity of N-glycosylation at the peptide level poses a great challenge to the structural and functional analysis of glycosylation in the field of glycobiology. Solving this conundrum requires a sufficient and specific method for intact N-glycopeptide enrichment. Using the C18 or HLB desalting column followed by the mixed-mode strong anion exchange (MAX) or hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) glycopeptide enrichment column are commonly applied approaches for sample preparation of intact N-glycopeptides from complex samples. Herein, we compared the effects of different combinations of two desalting columns and two enrichment columns using equal amounts of mouse brain tissues from the same source. The results revealed the C18 column was a bit superior to the HLB column, and the MAX and HILIC columns were complementary on intact N-glycopeptides enrichment. Additionally, the results also demonstrated that enriching glycopeptides using a HILIC column followed by a MAX column from the flow-through solution got a better enrichment performance than the reversed order. Based on these results, the sequential enrichment of glycopeptides using HILIC and then MAX columns could maximize the enrichment performance of intact N-glycopeptides, and therefore is an option for in-depth analysis of site-specific glycoproteome.
在糖生物学领域,肽水平上 N-糖基化的低丰度和异质性对其结构和功能分析构成了巨大挑战。要解决这个难题,需要一种充分且特异的完整 N-糖肽富集方法。使用 C18 或 HLB 脱盐柱,再结合混合模式强阴离子交换(MAX)或亲水相互作用色谱(HILIC)糖肽富集柱,通常用于从复杂样品中制备完整 N-糖肽的样品前处理。在此,我们比较了使用等量来自同一来源的小鼠脑组织时,两种脱盐柱和两种富集柱的不同组合的效果。结果表明,C18 柱略优于 HLB 柱,MAX 和 HILIC 柱在完整 N-糖肽的富集上具有互补性。此外,结果还表明,从流动相中先用 HILIC 柱再用 MAX 柱富集糖肽的效果优于相反的顺序。基于这些结果,使用 HILIC 柱和 MAX 柱顺序富集糖肽可以最大限度地提高完整 N-糖肽的富集性能,因此是深入分析特定糖蛋白组的一种选择。
