The glycosylation of peptides and proteins can significantly impact their intrinsic properties, such as conformation, stability, antigenicity, and immunogenicity. Current methods for preparing N-linked glycopeptides typically rely on amide bond formation, which can be limited by the presence of reactive functional groups like acids and amines. Late-stage functionalization of peptides offers a promising approach to obtaining N-linked glycopeptides. In this study, we demonstrate the preparation of N-linked glycopeptides through a photoredox-catalyzed site-selective Giese addition between N-glycosyl oxamic acid and peptides containing dehydroalanine (Dha) under visible light conditions. Unlike traditional methods that rely on the coupling of aspartic acid and glycosylamine, this approach utilizes the conjugation of N-glycosylated carbamoyl radicals with Dha, facilitating the straightforward modification of complex peptides.

Mass spectrometry-based investigation of the heterogeneous glycoproteome from complex biological specimens is a robust approach to mapping the structure, function, and dynamics of the glycome and proteome. Sampling whole wet tissues often provides a large amount of starting material; however, there is a reasonable variability in tissue handling prior to downstream processing steps, and it is difficult to capture all the different biomolecules from a specific region. The on-slide tissue digestion approach, outlined in this protocol chapter, is a simple and cost-effective method that allows comprehensive mapping of the glycoproteome from a single spot of tissue of 1 mm or greater diameter.

Serum tests have become a partial alternative to renal biopsy for diagnosing primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). However, urine tests, due to their non-invasive nature and ability to more accurately reflect glomerular diseases, hold great promise for the detection of pMN. However, the low protein concentration and the time-consuming sample preparation procedure of urine samples challenges the proteomic and glycoproteomic analysis to find urine-derived signatures associated with pMN.

Culture conditions have a profound impact on therapeutic protein production and glycosylation, a critical therapeutic-quality attribute, especially for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). While the critical culture parameter of pH has been known since the early 1990s to affect protein glycosylation and production, detailed glycan and metabolic characterization and mechanistic understanding are critically lacking. Here, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were grown in bioreactors at pH 6.

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins regulate several biological processes, and investigating their diversity is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of cell regulation. Glycosylation is one of the most complex posttranslational modifications that control fundamental cellular processes such as protein folding, protein trafficking, host-pathogen interactions, cell adhesion, and cytokine receptor signaling networks. N-linked glycosylation denotes the attachment of glycans (oligosaccharides) to a nitrogen atom of asparagine (N) residues in the consensus motif Asn-X-Ser/Thr (NXS/T), where X is any amino acid except proline.
