With Boc-Asn-GlcNAc as a basic structure, four permanently positively charged kinds of new acceptors (GP-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc, GT-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc, HMP-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc, MPDPZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc) and five kinds of similar structure acceptors (2-PA-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc, 3-PA-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc, 4-PA-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc, HP-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc, PDPZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc) were synthesized as acceptors for the resolution of oligosaccharides in glycopeptides. The synthesized acceptors enzymatically reacted with Disialo-Asn (donor) in the presence of Endo-M. The reaction yields of each transglycosylation product were not obvious, because we do not have all the authentic Disialo-Asn-Boc-acceptors. Therefore, we used the peak area of the transglycosylation product detected by mass spectrometry and evaluated the utility of each acceptor. Among the Boc-Asn-GlcNAc acceptors, the positively charged MPDPZ derivative peak area was the highest, MPDPZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc with a positively charged structure showed about a 2.2 times greater sensitivity of the transglycosylation product compared to the conventional fluorescence acceptor DBD-PZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc. As a result, the MPDPZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc acceptor was suitable for the transglycosylation reaction with Endo-M. The development of a qualitative determination method for the N-linked oligosaccharides in glycoproteins was attempted by combination of the transglycosylation reaction and semi-micro high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-QTOF-MS/MS). The asparaginyl-oligosaccharides in glycoproteins, liberated by treatment with Pronase E, were separated, purified and labeled with positively charged MPDPZ. The resulting derivatives were separated by a semi-micro HPLC system. The eluted N-linked oligosaccharide derivatives were then introduced into a QTOF-MS instrument and sensitively detected in the ESI(+) mode. Various fragment ions based on the carbohydrate units appeared in the MS/MS spectra. Among the peaks, m/z 782.37 corresponding to MPDPZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc is the most important one for identifying the asparaginyl-oligosaccharides. Disialo-Asn-Boc-MPDPZ was easily identified by the selected-ion chromatogram at m/z 782.37 by MS/MS detection. Therefore, the identification of N-linked oligosaccharides in glycoproteins seems to be possible by the proposed semi-micro HPLC separations followed by the QTOF-MS/MS detection. Furthermore, several oligosaccharides in ovalbumin and ribonuclease B were successfully identified by the proposed procedure.

The lack of a highly sensitive and simple method for the quantitative analysis of glycan has impeded the exploration of protein glycosylation patterns (glycomics), evaluation of antibody drug stability, and screening of disease glycan biomarkers. In this study, we describe a novel and simplified quantitative glycomics strategy. Quantitation by mutant enzyme reaction stable isotope labeling (QMERSIL) to label the N-glycans with either a nondeuterated (d0-) or deuterated (d8-) 4-(2,4-Dinitro-5-piperazin-1-yl-phenyl)-1,1-dimethyl-piperazin-1-ium (MPDPZ)-Boc-asparaginyl-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (Boc-Asn-GlcNAc) acceptor of a positive charge structure through the glycosynthase (Endo-M-N175Q) transglycosylation reaction with mass spectrometry facilitates comparative glycomics. The sialylglycopeptide (SGP) of the complex type was used to demonstrate that QMERSIL facilitates the relative quantitation over a linear dynamic range (up to d0/d8=0.02:20) of 3 orders of magnitude. The area ratios of the N-glycan peaks from the QMERSIL method showed a good linearity (d0/d8, R2=0.9999; d8/d0, R2=0.9978). The reproducibility and accuracy assay precisions were all less than 6.12%, and the mean recoveries (%) of SGP spiked in the human plasma were 97.34%. Moreover, the QMERSIL using LC-MS/MS was evaluated with various molar ratios (1:1, 1:5, 5:1) of d0(d8)- MPDPZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc-labeled glycans from ribonuclease B, bovine fetuin, and ovalbumin. The ratios of the relative intensity between the isotopically MPDPZ-Boc-Asn-GlcNAc labeled N-glycans were almost equal a close to the theoretical values (1:1, 1:5, 5:1). Finally, this method was used for the relative quantitative comparison of the N-Linked oligosaccharides in human plasma.
