报告摘要:
Protein glycosylation is one of the most common forms of protein modifications. Each glycoprotein can be glycosylated at different glycosites and each glycosite may be modified by different glycans. This structural heterogeneity provides additional functions for each glycoprotein in physiological and pathological processes. However, the structural heterogeneity also complicates the studies of structure-function relationships of glycoproteins. To rapidly identify and quantify the glycosylation on each glycosite from complex biological mixtures and to understand the function of protein glycosylation, we developed an integrated approach for global proteomics, glycoproteomics, and glycomics, with which peptides and glycans are isolated and separated by liquid-chromatography followed by quantitative analysis by mass spectrometry. When we performed integrated quantitative analyses to determine protein abundance, glycosylation site occupancy and glycan structures, we showed by specific examples that upon the identification of glycoproteins, glycosites containing specific glycans were readily identifiable and quantifiable. The applications of integrated approach to biological problems facilitate the understanding of glycosylated forms in cellular functions.
