A Chemoenzymatic Method for Glycoproteomic N-glycan Type Quantitation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications in biological systems. Current glycoproteome methods mainly focus on qualitative identification of glycosylation sites or intact glycopeptides. However, the systematic quantitation of glycoproteins has remained largely unexplored. Here, we developed a chemoenzymatic method to quantitatively investigate N-glycoproteome based on the N-glycan types. Taking advantage of the specificity of different endoglycosidases and isotope dimethyl labeling, six N-glycan types of structures linked on each glycopeptide, including high-mannose/hybrid, bi-antennary and tri-antennary with/without core fucose, were quantified. As a proof of principle, the glycoproteomic N-glycan type quantitative (glyco-TQ) method was first used to determine the N-glycan type composition of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) Fc fragment. Then we applied the method to analyze the glycan type profile of proteins in the breast cancer cell line MCF7, and quantitatively revealed the N-glycan type micro-heterogeneity at both the glycopeptide and glycoprotein levels. The novel quantitative strategy to evaluate the relative intensity of the six states of N-glycan type glycosylation on each site provides a new avenue to investigate function of glycoproteins in broad areas, such as cancer biomarker research, pharmaceuticals characterization and anti-glycan vaccine development.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
