N-glycosylation is one of the most common protein modifications in eukaryotes, with immense importance at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level. Accurate and reliable N-glycan analysis is essential to obtain a systems-wide understanding of fundamental biological processes. Due to the structural complexity of glycans, their analysis is still highly challenging. Here we make publicly available a consistent N-glycome dataset of 20 different mouse tissues and demonstrate a multimodal data analysis workflow that allows for unprecedented depth and coverage of N-glycome features. This highly scalable, LC-MS/MS data-driven method integrates the automated identification of N-glycan spectra, the application of non-targeted N-glycome profiling strategies and the isomer-sensitive analysis of glycan structures. Our delineation of critical sub-structural determinants and glycan isomers across the mouse N-glycome uncovered tissue-specific glycosylation patterns, the expression of non-canonical N-glycan structures and highlights multiple layers of N-glycome complexity that derive from organ-specific regulations of glycobiological pathways.
N-糖基化是真核生物中最常见的蛋白质修饰之一,在分子、细胞和生物体水平上具有极其重要的意义。准确可靠的N-聚糖分析对于全面了解基本生物学过程至关重要。由于聚糖结构复杂,其分析仍然极具挑战性。在此,我们公开了一个包含20种不同小鼠组织的一致N-糖组数据集,并展示了一种多模态数据分析工作流程,该流程能够以前所未有的深度和广度覆盖N-糖组特征。这种高度可扩展的、基于液相色谱-串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)数据驱动的方法整合了N-聚糖谱的自动识别、非靶向N-糖组分析策略的应用以及聚糖结构的异构体敏感分析。我们对小鼠N-糖组中关键亚结构决定因素和聚糖异构体的描绘揭示了组织特异性糖基化模式、非经典N-聚糖结构的表达,并突出了源自糖生物学途径器官特异性调控的N-糖组复杂性的多个层面。
