Title : O-Glycosylation Site Determination
Abstract :
- To further explore the sites of O-glycosylation in serum-derived ITIH4 , we used targeted electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) on ITIH4glycopeptides
- As opposed to most of our CID analyses, ETD of glycopeptidesresults in fragmentation of the peptide backbone rather than of glycosidiclinkages
- Peptide c- and z-ionsresulting from ETD fragmentation of glycopeptides retain unfragmentedcarbohydrate moieties, which can be used to determine the site(s)of glycosylation
- We labeled the serum-derived ITIH4 glycopeptideswith mTRAQ reagents to boost the charge, treated them with a broad-specificityneuraminidase to remove sialic acids, and then subjected them to ETD(Supplementary Figure 4, Supporting Information)
- On the basis of the MS2 spectrum of glycopeptide IPKPEASFSPR,S640 is O-glycosylated, while S642 is not
- This is supported by thepresence of c7, c8, and c9 and z5, z6, and z7 ionswith HexNAc-Hex in the fragmentation spectrum, as well as the absenceof this modification on z3, z4, c5, and c6 ions
- ETD fragmentation of the desialylated, mTRAQ-labeledLAILPASAPPATSNPDPAVSR + HexNAc2Hex2 peptide from serum ITIH4 indicates that theselected glycopeptide is glycosylated at S696 and T701, based on c- and z-ions in the MS2 spectrum (Supplementary Figure 4, Supporting Information)
- We were unable to obtain information on the desialylated LAILPASAPPATSNPDPAVSR+ HexNAc3Hex3 glycopeptide , so we arenot able to corroborate the CID results that also indicate that S709is O-glycosylated
- On the basis of the available information, themost likely explanation is that LAILPASAPPATSNPDPAVSRis O-glycosylated at S696, T701 and S709
- We detect similar glycancom positions associated with peptides LAILPASATPATSNPDPAVSR and LAILPASAPPATSNPDPAVSR in serum ITIH4 , suggesting thatthe sequence variant is not glycosylated differently
