AI Article Synopsis

  • Glycosylation's complexity complicates glycoproteomics analysis, but High-field asymmetric-waveform ion-mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) enhances this field, particularly in quantitative assessments.
  • This study optimized FAIMS for identifying glycopeptides, both with and without tandem mass tag (TMT) labels, resulting in a significant uptick in identifying site-specific glycopeptides from purified IgM and human lymphoma cells.
  • The research highlighted FAIMS's effectiveness in improving both the identification and quantification of glycopeptides, particularly through the new Glyco-SPS-MS3 method, leading to enhanced accuracy and precision in mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics.

Article Abstract

The heterogeneity and complexity of glycosylation hinder the depth of site-specific glycoproteomics analysis. High-field asymmetric-waveform ion-mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) has been shown to improve the scope of bottom-up proteomics. The benefits of FAIMS for quantitative -glycoproteomics have not been investigated yet. In this work, we optimized FAIMS settings for -glycopeptide identification, with or without the tandem mass tag (TMT) label. The optimized FAIMS approach significantly increased the identification of site-specific -glycopeptides derived from the purified immunoglobulin M (IgM) protein or human lymphoma cells. We explored in detail the changes in FAIMS mobility caused by -glycopeptides with different characteristics, including TMT labeling, charge state, glycan type, peptide sequence, glycan size, and precursor /. Importantly, FAIMS also improved multiplexed -glycopeptide quantification, both with the standard MS2 acquisition method and with our recently developed Glyco-SPS-MS3 method. The combination of FAIMS and Glyco-SPS-MS3 methods provided the highest quantitative accuracy and precision. Our results demonstrate the advantages of FAIMS for improved mass spectrometry-based qualitative and quantitative -glycoproteomics.

Anencephaly, the most severe type of neural tube defects (NTDs) in humans, occurs between the third and fourth gestational weeks (GW), involves the cranial part of the NT and results in the absence of the forebrain and skull. Exposed to amniotic fluid toxicity, neural tissue is degraded and prevented from development. Currently, little is known about the molecular bases of the disease and the possible involvement of glycans.

The quality of jasmine tea is closely related to the aroma of the tea infusion and the brew durability of the tea leaves. In this study, the aroma components of jasmine tea infusions subjected to multiple brewings were investigated using sensory evaluation, headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), and headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS). 179 and 73 volatile compounds were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS.

Wasabi is a type of sauce made from the plant horseradish. During its production and storage, gas production sometimes occurs, which leads to changes in the flavor quality of wasabi. In this study, an electronic nose, electronic tongue, headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry combined with multivariate statistical analysis were used to compare the differences in odor, taste and volatile components between normal and gas-producing wasabi.

Ion optics are crucial for spectrometric methods such as mass spectrometry (MS) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). Among the wide selection of ion optics, temporal ion gates are of particular importance for time-of-flight MS (TOF-MS) and drift-tube IMS. Commonly implemented as electrostatic ion gates, these optics offer a rapid, efficient means to block ion beams and form discrete ion packets for subsequent analysis.

Probing London Dispersion in Proton-Bound Onium Ions: Are Alkyl-Alkyl Steric Interactions Reliably Modeled?

We report spectroscopic and spectrometric experiments that probe the London dispersion interaction between -butyl substituents in three series of covalently linked, protonated -pyridines in the gas phase. Molecular ions in the three test series, along with several reference molecules for control, were electrosprayed from solution into the gas phase and then probed by infrared multiphoton dissociation spectroscopy and trapped ion mobility spectrometry. The observed N-H stretching frequencies provided an experimental readout diagnostic of the ground-state geometry of each ion, which could be furthermore compared to a second, independent structural readout via the collision cross section.
