Protein glycosylation is a complex post-translational modification that is generally classified as N- or O-linked. Site-specific analysis of glycopeptides is accomplished with a variety of fragmentation methods, depending on the type of glycosylation being investigated and the instrumentation available. For instance, collisional dissociation methods are frequently used for N-glycoproteomic analysis with the assumption that one N-sequon exists per tryptic peptide. Alternatively, electron-based methods are indispensable for O-glycosite localization. However, the presence of simultaneously N- and O-glycosylated peptides could suggest the necessity of electron-based fragmentation methods for N-glycoproteomics, which is not commonly performed. Thus, we quantified the prevalence of N- and O-glycopeptides in mucins and other glycoproteins. A much higher frequency of co-occupancy within mucins was detected whereas only a negligible occurrence occurred within non-mucin glycoproteins. This was demonstrated from analyses of recombinant and/or purified proteins, as well as more complex samples. Where co-occupancy occurred, O-glycosites were frequently localized to the Ser/Thr within the N-sequon. Additionally, we found that O-glycans in close proximity to the occupied Asn were predominantly unelaborated core 1 structures, while those further away were more extended. Overall, we demonstrate electron-based methods are required for robust site-specific analysis of mucins, wherein co-occupancy is more prevalent. Conversely, collisional methods are generally sufficient for analyses of other types of glycoproteins.
蛋白质糖基化是一种复杂的翻译后修饰,通常分为N-连接或O-连接。糖肽的位点特异性分析可通过多种碎裂方法实现,这取决于所研究的糖基化类型和可用的仪器设备。例如,碰撞解离方法常用于N-糖蛋白质组分析,其假设是每个胰蛋白酶肽段存在一个N-糖基化序列。另外,基于电子的方法对于O-糖基化位点定位是不可或缺的。然而,同时存在N-和O-糖基化肽段可能表明N-糖蛋白质组学需要基于电子的碎裂方法,而这并不常见。因此,我们对粘蛋白和其他糖蛋白中N-和O-糖肽的发生率进行了量化。在粘蛋白中检测到更高频率的共占据情况,而在非粘蛋白糖蛋白中仅发生可忽略不计的情况。这在对重组和/或纯化蛋白以及更复杂样品的分析中得到了证明。在发生共占据的情况下,O-糖基化位点通常定位于N-糖基化序列内的丝氨酸/苏氨酸。此外,我们发现靠近被占据天冬酰胺的O-聚糖主要是未修饰的核心1结构,而那些较远的则更复杂。总体而言,我们证明基于电子的方法对于粘蛋白的稳健位点特异性分析是必需的,其中共占据更为普遍。相反,碰撞方法通常足以用于分析其他类型的糖蛋白。
