Project description:Core fucosylation of N-linked glycoproteins has been linked to the functions of glycoproteins in physiological and pathological processes. However, quantitative characterization of core fucosylation remains challenging due to the complexity and heterogeneity of N-linked glycosylation. Here we report a mass spectrometry-based method that employs sequential treatment of intact glycopeptides with enzymes (STAGE) to analyze site-specific core fucosylation of glycoproteins. The STAGE method utilizes Endo F3 followed by PNGase F treatment to generate mass signatures for glycosites that are formerly modified by core fucosylated N-linked glycans. We benchmark the STAGE method and use it to characterize site specific core fucosylation of glycoproteins from human hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, resulting in the identification of 1130 and 782 core fucosylated glycosites, respectively. These results indicate that our STAGE method enables quantitative characterization of core fucosylation events from complex protein mixtures, which may benefit our understanding of core fucosylation functions in various diseases.

Project description:Protein glycosylation is a complex post-translational modification with crucial cellular functions in all domains of life. Currently, large-scale glycoproteomics approaches rely on glycan database dependent algorithms and are thus unsuitable for discovery-driven analyses of glycoproteomes. Therefore, we devised SugarPy, a glycan database independent Python module, and validated it on the glycoproteome of human breast milk. We further demonstrated its applicability by analyzing glycoproteomes with uncommon glycans stemming from the green algae Chalmydomonas reinhardtii and the archaeon Haloferax volcanii. Finally, SugarPy facilitated the novel characterization of glycoproteins from Cyanidioschyzon merolae.

Project description:Core fucosylation of N-glycoproteins plays a crucial role in modulating the biological functions of glycoproteins. Yet, the synthesis of structurally well-defined, core-fucosylated glycoproteins remains a challenging task due to the complexity in multistep chemical synthesis or the inability of the biosynthetic ?1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) to directly fucosylate full-size mature N-glycans in a chemoenzymatic approach. We report in this paper the design and generation of potential ?1,6-fucosynthase and fucoligase for direct core fucosylation of intact N-glycoproteins. We found that mutation at the nucleophilic residue (D200) did not provide a typical glycosynthase from this bacterial enzyme, but several mutants with mutation at the general acid/base residue E274 of the Lactobacillus casei ?1,6-fucosidase, including E274A, E274S, and E274G, acted as efficient glycoligases that could fucosylate a wide variety of complex N-glycopeptides and intact glycoproteins by using ?-fucosyl fluoride as a simple donor substrate. Studies on the substrate specificity revealed that the ?1,6-fucosidase mutants could introduce an ?1,6-fucose moiety specifically at the Asn-linked GlcNAc moiety not only to GlcNAc-peptide but also to high-mannose and complex-type N-glycans in the context of N-glycopeptides, N-glycoproteins, and intact antibodies. This discovery opens a new avenue to a wide variety of homogeneous, core-fucosylated N-glycopeptides and N-glycoproteins that are hitherto difficult to obtain for structural and functional studies.

Project description:We employed the newly available IMPa O-glycoprotease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa for O-glycoproteomics analysis of cultured cells and tissues. The glycopeptides were extracted, purified, and conjugated to a solid support before an enzymatic cleavage by IMPa. O-glycopeptides were analyzed by EThcD, which allowed for a site-specific and global analysis of O-glycans, especially those sialylated and the Tn antigen. Through wild-type or SimpleCell HEK293 cells, we present two approaches, one for the analysis of total O-glycoproteome and the other for the Tn glycoproteome, and showed that IMPa and EThcD are necessary for confident localization of O-glycans on glycopeptides. We applied this method to study the O-glycoproteome of mouse brain, which revealed the high frequency of sialylated O-glycans and the Tn antigen on brain glycoproteins.

Project description:Analysis of mucin type O-glycans linked to serine/threonine of glycoproteins is technically challenging, in part, due to a lack of effective enzymatic tools that enable their analysis. Recently, several O-glycan-specific endoproteases that can cleave the protein adjacent to the appended glycan have been described. Despite significant progress in understanding the biochemistry of these en-zymes, known O-glycoproteases have specificity constrains, such as inefficient cleavage of glycoproteins bearing sialylated O-glycans, high selectivity for certain type of glycoproteins or protein sequence bias, that limit their analytical application. In this study, we examined the capabilities of an immunomodulating metalloprotease (IMPa) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The peptide substrate sequence selectivity and its impact on IMPa activity was interrogated using an array of synthetic peptides and their glycoforms. We show that IMPa has no specific P1 residue preference and can tolerate most amino acids at the P1 position, except aspartic acid. The enzyme does not cleave between two adjacent O-glycosites, indicating that O-glycosylated serine/threonine is not allowed at position P1. Glycopeptides with as few as two amino acids on either side of an O-glycosite were specifically cleaved by IMPa. Finally, IMPa efficiently cleaved peptides and proteins carrying sialylated and asialylated O-glycans of varying complexity. We present the use of IMPa in a one-step O-glycoproteomics workflow for glycoprofiling of individual purified glycoproteins granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase C (CD45) without the need for glycopeptide enrichment. In these examples, IMPa enabled identification of O-glycosites and the range of complex O-glycan structures at each site.

Project description:Large-scale identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides by liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in human serum is challenging due to the wide dynamic range of serum protein abundances, the lack of a complete serum N-Glycan database and the existence of non-specifically digested peptides and numerous modifications. In this regard, a spectral library search method was presented for serum N-linked intact glycopeptides identification with target-decoy and motif-specific false discovery rate (FDR) control. Low-abundant glycoproteins were firstly separated from high-abundant proteins by acetonitrile (ACN) precipitation. After digestion, the N-linked intact glycopeptides were enriched by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column and a portion of the enriched N-linked intact glycopeptides were processed by N-Glycosidase F (PNGase F) to generate de-glycopeptides. Both N-linked intact glycopeptides and de-glycopeptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. From N-linked de-glycopeptides datasets, 764 N-linked glycoproteins, 1,699 N-linked glycosites and 3,328 unique N-linked de-glycopeptides were identified. The spectra of these N-linked de-glycopeptides were utilized for N-linked de-glycopeptides library construction and identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides. Four types of N-linked glycosylation motifs (NXS/T/C/V, X≠P) were used to recognize the N-linked de-glycopeptides, and two different N-Glycan mass databases including 27 modified N-Glycan masses and 712 unmodified N-Glycan masses were combined and utilized during spectral library search for identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides. In total, from the N-linked intact glycopeptides datasets, 526 N-linked glycoproteins, 1,036 N-linked glycosites, 22,677 N-linked intact glycopeptides and 738 N-Glycan masses were identified under 1% FDR, representing the most in-depth serum N-glycoproteome identified by LC-MS/MS at N-linked intact glycopeptide level and N-linked de-glycopeptides level.

Project description:Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are the most common group of autoimmune diseases, associated with lymphocyte infiltration and the production of thyroid autoantibodies, like thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), in the thyroid gland. Immunoglobulins (Igs) and cell-surface receptors are glycoproteins with distinctive glycosylation patterns that play a structural role in maintaining and modulating their functions. We investigated associations of total circulating IgG and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) glycosylation with AITD and the influence of genetic background. The study revealed an inverse association of IgG core fucosylation with TPOAb and PBMCs antennary α1,2 fucosylation with AITD, but no shared genetic variance between AITD and glycosylation. These data suggest that the decreased level of IgG core fucosylation is a risk factor for AITD that promotes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) associated with TPOAb levels

Project description:Interleukin (IL) - 22 is a cytokine that plays a critical role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis. Its downstream functions are mediated through ligation of its heterodimeric receptor comprised of IL-22 receptor subunit alpha 1 (IL-22Ra1) and IL-10R2, and subsequent activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). IL-22 signaling can induce genes necessary for intestinal epithelial cell proliferation, tissue regeneration, tight junction fortification, and production of antimicrobials. Emerging studies have also implicated IL-22 signaling in the regulation of intestinal epithelial fucosylation in mice. However, whether IL-22 regulates intestinal fucosylation in human intestinal epithelial cells and the molecular mechanisms that govern this process are unknown. Here, we show that IL-22 signaling regulates expression of the B3GNT7 transcript, which encodes a β1-3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that can participate in the synthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) chains. Additionally, we show that IL-22 signaling regulates levels of the a1-3-fucosylated Lewis X (Lex) blood group antigen and this glycan epitope is primarily displayed on heavily O-glycosylated intestinal epithelial glycoproteins. The IL-22-mediated increase in Lex antigen levels requires B3GNT7, as disruption of B3GNT7 expression moderated the IL-22-dependent increase in Lex antigen levels. Moreover, we show that increased expression of B3GNT7 alone is sufficient to promote increased display of Lex-decorated carbohydrate glycan structures primarily on O-glycosylated intestinal epithelial glycoproteins. Together, the data presented here identify B3GNT7 as a critical intermediary in IL-22-dependent induction of intestinal fucosylation of O-linked glycans and uncover a novel role for B3GNT7 in intestinal glycosylation.
