The labeling by amino acids and peptides was investigated for sensitive and fast analyses of oligosaccharides and N-linked glycans by capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS). Peptide tags with a various number of histidine residues were tested for maltooligosaccharide labeling in order to investigate the effect of the size of labels and a number of charges on CE-MS analysis. Nevertheless, the reductive amination labeling of N-linked glycans by a hexahistidine tag resulted in a multiple products formation, therefore a peptide tag was modified by hydrazine functionality in order to perform labeling by hydrazone formation chemistry. This labeling approach significantly improved sensitivity with LOD of labeled maltopentaose determined to be 40 nmol/L and also significantly reduced separation time of neutral maltooligosaccharides and N-linked glycans released from bovine ribonuclease B. Furthermore, the labeling by this multi-cationic peptide hydrazine tag also allowed performing analysis of acidic glycans by CE-MS in a positive ion mode as demonstrated by separation of sialylated N-linked glycans released from bovine fetuin.

Approximately 300,000 American men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2024. Existing screening approaches based on measuring levels of prostate-specific antigen in the blood lack specificity for prostate cancer. Studying the glycans attached to proteins has the potential to generate new biomarker candidates and/or increase the specificity of existing protein biomarkers, and studying protein glycosylation changes in prostate cancer could also add new information to our understanding of prostate cancer biology.

Human soluble CD52 is a short glycopeptide comprising 12 amino acids (GQNDTSQTSSPS) which functions as an immune regulator by sequestering the pro-inflammatory high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) and supressing immune responses. Recombinant CD52 has been shown to act as a broad anti-inflammatory agent, dampening both adaptive and innate immune responses. This short glycopeptide is heavily glycosylated, with a complex sialylated N-linked glycan at N3 and reported O-linked glycosylation possible on several serine and threonine residues.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of cell-cell communication thanks to their ability to transfer their bioactive cargo, thus regulating a variety of physiological contexts. EVs derived from amniotic mesenchymal/stromal cells (eAMC-EVs) are internalized by equine endometrial cells (eECs) with positive effects on regenerative medicine treatments. As the cellular uptake of EVs is influenced by the glycan profile of both EVs and target cells, this study is focused on the role of surface glycans in the uptake of eAMC-EVs by recipient eECs.

Unlabelled: Despite providing the first example of archaeal N-glycosylation almost 50 years ago, detailed insight into the pathway used by to assemble and attach an N-linked tetrasaccharide decorating glycoproteins in this haloarchaea has only recently appeared. Still, numerous components of this pathway remain to be identified, including sulfotransferase(s), which modify the third and fourth tetrasaccharide sugars. In the present report, a series of bioinformatics, genetic, biochemical, and structural approaches served to reveal how membrane-associated VNG1056C and soluble VNG1057C respectively sulfate the iduronic acid at tetrasaccharide position three and the terminal glucuronic acid, seemingly independent of each other.

Unlabelled: The efficacy of the G-protein is influenced by N-linked glycosylation, which serves as the sole immunogen of the rabies virus vaccine. However, achieving satisfactory immune-protection efficacy remains challenging, owing to the heterogeneous glycosylation of G-proteins. Within molecular dynamics, examining the impact of N-glycan heterogeneity on the structural characteristics of G-proteins provides insights into the relationship between antigens and the efficacy of rabies virus vaccines.
