摘要:

蛋白糖基化是生物体中普遍发生且重要的生物学过程,其参与多种分子生物学的功能和途径,是临床诊断重要的生物标志物。但是,糖肽因其丰度低、离子化效率低、糖链异质性等难点,使糖蛋白分析一直面临巨大的挑战。因此,研究合成了一种新型的两性离子双功能化纳米金(AuGC)修饰的超亲水性沸石咪唑骨架(ZIF-8)纳米复合材料(AuGC/ZIF-8),并建立了亲水相互作用色谱(HILIC)和基质辅助激光解吸电离-飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)联用选择性富集糖肽的分析方法。谷胱甘肽和半胱氨酸双功能化的协同作用,使MOF具有超亲水性和低空间位阻,为糖肽选择性富集提供了更多的亲和位点。研究以辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)为模式糖蛋白,通过AuGC/ZIF-8富集后,MALDI-TOF MS分析。结果表明,AuGC/ZIF-8对HRP糖肽的富集能力高达250 μg/mg,且在与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)混合溶液中(HRP-BSA (1∶200,质量比))显示出对HRP糖肽的高选择性,以及极低含量下(0.3 ng/μL)的高灵敏度。因此,在复杂生物样品糖蛋白的富集分离中具有很大的应用潜力。

Abstract:

Protein glycosylation is a ubiquitous and important biological process involved in various molecular functions and biological pathways. It also yields important biomarkers for clinical diagnoses. However, glycopeptide analysis is challenging due to low abundance, low ionization efficiency, and glycan heterogeneity. In the present study, a method based on hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was developed for the selective enrichment of glycopeptides using a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposite (AuGC/ZIF-8). Dual functionalization with glutathione and cysteine has resulted in an ultra-hydrophilic MOF, with synergistic effects and lower steric hindrance, providing more affinity sites for the glycopeptide enrichment. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as a model glycoprotein, and AuGC/ZIF-8 was used to enrich glycopeptides prior to analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). AuGC/ZIF-8 displayed outstanding performance at enriching HRP glycopeptides, with high enrichment capacity (250 μg/mg), high selectivity in mixtures containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) (HRP-BSA (1∶200, mass ratio)), and high sensitivity at very low content (0.3 ng/μL). Thus this MOF holds promise for in-depth, comprehensive glycoproteomic and related analysis.
