Abstract

A new approach for proteome-wide analysis of sialylated N-glycopeptides based on the diagonal chromatographic COFRADIC technology is presented here. The use of alpha(2-3,6,8,9) neuraminidase is central to isolate sialylated N-glycopeptides out of a complex peptide mixture. Two different COFRADIC techniques are introduced here, either without or with post-metabolic oxygen-18 labeling (direct versus indirect sorting), and when applied to immuno-depleted mouse serum, we herewith identified 93 sialylated glycosylation sites in 53 serum proteins.
