title: Enhanced N-glycosylation site exploitation of sialoglycopeptides by peptide IPG-IEF assisted TiO2 chromatography.
abstract: Playing an important role in a broad range of biological and pathological processes, sialylation has been drawing wide interest. The efficient sialoglycopeptides enrichment methods are therefore attracting considerable attention. In this paper, we first compared two conventional enrichment methods, lectin and TiO(2), and analyzed their characteristics. Furthermore, considering the highly negatively charged nature of sialic acids, we developed a new strategy, peptide immobilized pH gradient isoelectric focusing (IPG-IEF) assisted TiO(2) chromatography (PIAT), for the highly efficient enrichment of sialoglycopeptides. In this method, peptides were first separated into 24 fractions using peptide IPG-IEF. Sialoglycopeptides were relatively concentrated in low-pH fractions of the immobilized pH strips and were captured using TiO(2) chromatography. As a result, 614 N-glycosylation sites were identified in 582 sialoglycopeptides within 322 sialoglycoproteins from rat liver using PIAT. To our knowledge, this work represents one of the most comprehensive sialoglycoproteomic analyses in general and exhibits the largest database of sialoglycoproteome in rat liver currently. So the new strategy introduced here exhibits high efficiency and universality in the sialoglycopeptide enrichment, and is a powerful tool for sialoglycoproteome exploration.
