Title : Complementary TiO2 and HILIC SPE-based
glycopeptide enrichment provide deep coverage of the urinary glycoproteome
Abstract :
- Even without peptide pre-fractionation, the combined use of TiO2 and HILIC SPE facilitated the identification of 630 unique N-linked glycosylation sites belonging to 361 N-glycoproteins across the urine samples (Supplementary Figure 1A, and Supplementary Tables 1–2)
- Partial overlap between the TiO2 and HILIC SPE enrichment approaches were observed when measured by the proportion of unique N-glycosylation sites (48%, 304/630) and the corresponding glycoproteins (58%, 211/361) detected in both sample preparation techniques (Supplementary Figure 1B–1C)
- However, when assessed by the identified intact glycopeptides , the enrichment strategies displayed high complementarity: From a combined total of 954 N- and 210 O-glycopeptides identified with high peptide confidence (0% peptide FDR Pep-2D) [32] (Supplementary Figure 1D and Supplementary Tables 3–6), the degree of unique N- and O-glycopeptides identified from both the TiO2 and HILIC SPE preparations was 23% (216/954) and 10% (20/210), respectively (Supplementary Figure 1E–1F)
- Due to the unbiased enrichment of the hydrophilic glycopeptides , HILIC SPE showed, as expected, a higher capture efficiency of N-glycopeptides compared to TiO2 SPE
- In contrast, TiO2 retained a greater number of O-glycopeptides compared to HILIC SPE indicating a high degree of sialylation of the O-glycopeptides and an inability of HILIC SPE to retain such lowly hydrophilic glycopeptides
- We also investigated the glycosylation features of the TiO2 and HILIC SPE enriched intact N-glycopeptides (Supplementary Figure 1G, Supplementary Tables 3–4) and O-glycopeptides (Supplementary Figure 1H, Supplementary Tables 5–6)
- In agreement with our previous study [27], the urinary N-glycoproteins were predominantly carrying complex and hybrid type N-glycans with a high level of fucosylation and/or sialylation accounting for ∼85% of all identified intact N-glycopeptides (Supplementary Figure 1G)
- Sialylated O-glycopeptides were also abundant (∼70%) and were, as expected, efficiently enriched using TiO2 SPE (Supplementary Figure 1H)
- Collectively, these data clearly demonstrated that the parallel usage of HILIC and TiO2 SPE is highly beneficial to increase the coverage of the urinary N- and O-glycoproteome
