摘要:

蛋白质的N-糖基化是最重要的翻译后修饰之一,许多已知的血浆肿瘤诊断标志物及治疗靶标都是N-糖基化蛋白。针对血浆的糖蛋白质组研究有利于发现新的蛋白标志物。然而,血浆蛋白质浓度分布的动态范围非常宽,且同一位点上的糖链存在微观不均一性,影响了血浆中糖蛋白的鉴定效率。本文利用亲水材料ZIC-HILIC制备亲水富集柱分别对人血浆中的N-糖链和N-糖肽进行富集,并结合碱性反相色谱进行肽段的预分离和高准确度质谱分析,最终在健康人的血浆中鉴定到了299个糖基化蛋白、637个糖基化位点,并识别出31种不同的糖型。在这些鉴定到的糖基化位点中,新发现有107个N-糖基化位点(占总位点数的16.8%)。本方法操作简单,可以有效富集N-糖肽和N-糖,为在血浆中寻找糖蛋白和糖链生物标志物提供了可靠的手段。

Abstract:

N-glycosylation of proteins is one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTM). Many diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets are glycosylated proteins. However, it is still a big challenge to identify glycoproteins in human plasma, because of the high dynamic range and microheterogeneity of glycosylation. In this work, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) enrichment, high-pH reversed-phase prefractionation and high accurate mass spectrometry (MS) analysis were combined to profile the N-glycoproteins in human plasma. In total, 637 N-glycosites from 299 glycoproteins (protein groups) were identified. There were also 31 glycoforms recognized after HILIC enrichment and MS analysis. Among the results, 107 glycosylation sites (16.8%) are newly found. This study provided a simple and reliable strategy for exploring potential N-glycoprotein biomarkers from complicated biological systems.
