Aim: The current study was designed to isolate and characterize glycoprotein antigens and then to evaluate its potency in accurate diagnosis of toxocariasis.
Materials And Methods: glycoprotein fractions were isolated using Con-A affinity chromatography. The fractions characterized using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and immunoblot assay. Mass spectrometric analysis was used for identification of proposed structure of the N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) fraction. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assess the diagnostic potential of the isolated fractions.
Results: Surface of adult worm revealed two glycoprotein fractions rich in glucose (Glc) and GlcNAc. Three bands of molecular weight 212kDa, 107 kDa, and 93 kDa were detected in Glc fraction by SDS-PAGE. These bands were also detected in GlcNAc fraction with an additional band of 49 kDa. GlcNAc fraction showed more diagnostic potency of calves' toxocariasis; 79% than Glc fraction; 46.9% by indirect ELISA. The additional band of 49 kDa in GlcNAc fraction is probably responsible for its higher diagnostic potentials. Western blotting verified the immunoreactivity of the Glc and GlcNAc isolated fraction as they reacted with calves sera infected with toxocariasis. The proposed structure of GlcNAc fraction was Ser-Meth-Arg-O-methylated GlcNAc.
Conclusion: GlcNAc-rich fraction of can be successfully utilized in the diagnosis of calves' toxocariasis.

Metabolic incorporation of chemically tagged monosaccharides is a facile means of tagging cellular glycoproteins and glycolipids. However, since the monosaccharide precursors are often shared by several pathways, selectivity has been difficult to attain. For example, N-linked glycosylation is a chemically complex and ubiquitous posttranslational modification, with three distinct classes of GlcNAc-containing N-glycan structures: oligomannose, hybrid and complex.

Protein O-GlcNAc modification, similar to phosphorylation, supports cell survival by regulating key processes like transcription, cell division, trafficking, signaling, and stress tolerance. However, its role in protein homeostasis, particularly in protein synthesis, folding, and degradation, remains poorly understood. Our previous research shows that O-GlcNAc cycling enzymes associate with the translation machinery during protein synthesis and modify ribosomal proteins.

This study explores the 24-h rhythmic cycle of protein O-GlcNAcylation within the brain and highlights its crucial role in regulating the circadian cycle and neuronal function based on zebrafish as an animal model. In our experiments, disruption of the circadian rhythm, achieved through inversion of the light-dark cycle or daytime melatonin treatment, not only impaired the rhythmic changes of O-GlcNAcylation along with altering expression patterns of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) in zebrafish brain but also significantly impeded learning and memory function. In particular, circadian disruption affected rhythmic expression of protein O-GlcNAcylation and OGT in the nuclear fraction.

Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed different preparations of rAAV6 using lectin microarray and LC-MS/MS, revealing that the glycan structures found were primarily derived from host cell proteins.
- * Mucin-type glycans were found in a small portion of rAAV6, and these glycosylated particles had lower transduction efficiency than those without these glycans, indicating the importance of understanding glycosylation in rAAV therapeutics.

Despite their many important physiological functions, past work on the diverse sequences of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) has been focused mainly on the highly abundant HMOs with a relatively low degree of polymerization (DP) due to the lack of efficient methods for separation/purification and high-sensitivity sequencing of large-sized HMOs with DP ≥ 10. Here we established an ultrahigh-temperature preparative HPLC based on a porous graphitized carbon column at up to 145 °C to overcome the anomeric α/β splitting problem and developed further the negative-ion ESI-CID-MS/MS into multistage MS using a combined product-ion scanning of singly charged molecular ion and doubly charged fragment ion of the branching Gal and adjacent GlcNAc residues. The separation and sequencing method allows efficient separation of a neutral fraction with DP ≥ 10 into 70 components, among which 17 isomeric difucosylated nona- and decasaccharides were further purified and sequenced.
