▎ 摘 要
Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of proteins, and plays an important role in the structure and function of proteins. However, due to the diversity of glycopeptide forms and their low abundance, it is extraordinarily challenging to capture and separate glycopeptides with high selectivity from complex biological samples with mass spectrometric analysis. Here, we synthesized a new type of hydrophilic composite based on electrostatic interactions, which has been proven to be effective in immobilizing cationic cellulose on graphene oxide-dopamine carriers (expressed as GO-DA-JR), for highly specific enrichment of N-glycopeptides. The introduction of cationic cellulose provides not only a perfect surface charge for the composite but also a greater ability to enrich glycosylated peptides. Thirty-two glycopeptides from human serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) tryptic digests were observed with a greatly improved signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and also presented high performance in anti-interfering enrichment of glycopeptides from complex samples containing 100-fold bovine serum albumin tryptic digests. In addition, GO-DA-JR has higher sensitivity (1 fmol/mu L IgG) and better enrichment capacity (up to 150 mg/g). Moreover, the results of glycopeptide enrichment and glycosylation analysis from human serum also show egood enrichment selectivity from real biological samples. This work exhibits high selectivity, high sensitivity, good stability and operability, indicating its potential for applications of glycopeptides enrichment in post-translational modification proteomics.
