To characterize MUC5AC O-linked oligosaccharides, permethylated glycans were dissolved in methanol (20 μL). A small aliquot (1 μL) was spotted onto a MALDI plate (Opti-TOF-384 well insert, Applied Biosystems) and crystallized with 1 μL of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB matrix, 10 mg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich, 149357) in 50% methanol/water. Data were obtained from an Applied Biosystems SCIEX MALDI TOF/TOF 5800 mass spectrometer in reflector positive-ion mode 42 (link), 63 (link), 64 (link).
To confirm glycan structure by ESI-MSn, a small aliquot (2 μL) of permethylated O-glycans was dissolved in ESI-MS direct infusion buffer (33% H2O, 33% acetonitrile, and 33% 1 mM NaOH-methanol (1:1 vol/vol)). Further, glycans were infused on an Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) through a nanospray ionization (NSI) probe. The MSn spectra (collision-induced dissociation, CID and higher energy collisional dissociation, HCD) of the glycans were acquired at high resolution by total ion mapping (TIM) program and detected on Orbitrap / Ion trap 42 (link), 65 (link).
Data analysis was performed using Data Explorer V4.5, and the assignment of glycan structures was based on the primary m/z coupled with MS/MS fragmentation patterns using the Expasy tool (https://web.expasy.org/glycomod/) and GlycoWorkbench 1.1 software.

Protein Identification by MALDI-TOF MS

Protein spots were excised from gels with a sterile scalpel and placed into Eppendorf tubes. Proteins were digested with trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI) as previously described [11 (link)]. For matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, peptides were concentrated using a POROS R2, Oligo R3 column (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). After washing the column with 70% acetonitrile, 100% acetonitrile, and 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, samples were applied to the R2, R3 column and eluted with cyano-4-hydroxycinamic acid (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in 70% acetonitrile and 2% formic acid onto the MALDI plate (Opti-TOF 384-well Insert, Applied Biosystems) [12 (link)]. MALDI-TOF MS analysis was performed on a 4800 MALDI-TOF/TOF Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) equipped with a 355-nm Nd:YAG laser. The pressure in the TOF analyzer was approximately 0.00010132 Pa. Mass spectra were obtained in reflectron mode with an accelerating voltage of 20 kV and sum of 500 laser pulses, and calibrated using the 4700 calibration mixture (Applied Biosystems). Data Explorer 4.4 (PerSeptive Biosystems, Framingham, MA) was used for monoisotopic mass data acquisition and extraction.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) peptides (Amresco, USA) were N-terminally labeled as described above as control. The peptides were dissolved in 10 μl 0.1% TFA, and 0.5 μl of each sample was mixed with 0.5 μl of a matrix solution that contained 5 mg/ml CHCA (Sigma, USA), 70% ACN, and 0.1% TFA. The peptides were spotted directly onto a MALDI plate (Opti-TOF™ 384-well Insert, Applied Biosystems, USA) and crystallized with the matrix. Dried peptides were analyzed on a 4800 MALDITOF/TOF™ Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) that was equipped with a 355-nm Nd:YAG laser. The pressure in the TOF analyzer was approximately 7.6 × e−07 Torr.
The mass spectra were obtained in the reflectron mode over an m/z range of 800–3500 Da with an accelerating voltage of 20. External calibration was performed using des-Arg-Bradykinin (904,468 Da), angiotensin 1 (1,296.685 Da), Glu-Fibrinopeptide B (1,570.677 Da), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (1–17) (2,093.087 Da), and ACTH (18–39) (2,465.199) (4700 calibration mixture, Applied Biosystems). Raw data were reported by 4000 SERIES EXPLORER, v4.4 (Applied Biosystems).

For the MALDI-TOF MS analysis, the peptides were concentrated by a POROS R2, Oligo R3 column (Applied Biosystems, Foster city, CA, USA). After washing the column with 70% acetonitrile, 100% acetonitrile and then 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, samples were applied to the R2, R3 column and eluted with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) dissolved in 70% acetonitrile and 2% formic acid onto the MALDI plate (Opti-TOF™ 384-well Insert, Applied Biosystems) (20 (link)). MALDI-TOF MS was performed on a 4800 MALDI-TOF/TOF™ Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) equipped with a 355-nm Nd:YAG laser. The mass spectra were obtained in the reflectron mode with an accelerating voltage of 20 kV and sum from either 500 laser pulses calibrated using the 4,700 calibration mixture (Applied Biosystems).

Peptide Mass Fingerprinting Protocol

For peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF), the spots were excised from the stained gel and in-gel digestion was carried out. The excised spots were destained with 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate in 40% acetonitrile, and dried with a speed vac (Heto Lab Equipment, Allerod, Denmark). The destained spots were rehydrated in 12.5 ng/μL trypsin in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate. The rehydrated spots were placed on ice for 45 min and treated with 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (10 μL). The spots were then incubated at 37 °C for 12 h.
For MALDI-TOF-MS analysis, the peptides were desalted and concentrated using a POROS R2 and Oligo R3 column (Applied Biosystems, Fostercity, CA, USA). The column was washed sequentially with 70% acetonitrile, 100% acetonitrile, and 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate. The samples were applied and eluted with cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) dissolved in 70% acetonitrile and 2% formic acid onto the MALDI plate (Opti-TOF™ 384-well Insert, Applied Biosystems) [35 (link)]. MALDI-TOF-MS was performed on a 4800 MALDI-TOF/TOF™ Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) equipped with a 355-nm Nd:YAG laser (TOF analyzer pressure: approximately 7.6 × 10−7 Torr). The mass spectra were obtained in the reflection mode (accelerating voltage of 20 kV and the sum from either 500 laser pulses), and calibrated using the 4700 calibration mixture (Applied Biosystems).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
