This invited paper reviews the study of protein glycosylation, commonly known as glycoproteomics, beginning with the origins of the subject area in the early 1970s shortly after mass spectrometry was first applied to protein sequencing. We go on to describe current analytical approaches to glycoproteomic analyses, with exemplar projects presented in the form of the complex story of human glycodelin and the characterisation of blood group H eptitopes on the O-glycans of gp273 from Unio elongatulus. Finally, we present an update on the latest progress in the field of automated and semi-automated interpretation and annotation of these data in the form of GlycoWorkBench, a powerful informatics tool that provides valuable assistance in unravelling the complexities of glycoproteomic studies.

Glycodelin is a human glycoprotein with four reported glycoforms, namely glycodelin-A (GdA), glycodelin-F (GdF), glycodelin-C (GdC), and glycodelin-S (GdS). These glycoforms have the same protein core and appear to differ in their N-glycosylation. The glycosylation of GdA is completely different from that of GdS. GdA inhibits proliferation and induces cell death of T cells. However, the glycosylation and immunomodulating activities of GdF and GdC are not known. This study aimed to use ultra-high sensitivity mass spectrometry to compare the glycomes of GdA, GdC, and GdF and to study the relationship between the immunological activity and glycosylation pattern among glycodelin glycoforms. Using MALDI-TOF strategies, the glycoforms were shown to contain an enormous diversity of bi-, tri-, and tetra-antennary complex-type glycans carrying Galβ1–4GlcNAc (lacNAc) and/or GalNAcβ1–4GlcNAc (lacdiNAc) antennae backbones with varying levels of fucose and sialic acid substitution. Interestingly, they all carried a family of Sda (NeuAcα2–3(GalNAcβ1–4)Gal)-containing glycans, which were not identified in the earlier study because of less sensitive methodologies used. Among the three glycodelins, GdA is the most heavily sialylated. Virtually all the sialic acid on GdC is located on the Sda antennae. With the exception of the Sda epitope, the GdC N-glycome appears to be the asialylated counterpart of the GdA/GdF glycomes. Sialidase activity, which may be responsible for transforming GdA/GdF to GdC, was detected in cumulus cells. Both GdA and GdF inhibited the proliferation, induced cell death, and suppressed interleukin-2 secretion of Jurkat cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In contrast, no immunosuppressive effect was observed for GdS and GdC.

Human sperm lack major histocompatibility class I molecules, making them susceptible to lysis by natural killer (NK) cells. Major histocompatibility class I negative tumor cells block NK cell lysis by expressing sufficient amounts of bisecting type N-glycans on their surfaces. Therefore, sperm could employ the same strategy to evade NK cell lysis. The total N-glycans derived from sperm were sequenced using ultrasensitive mass spectrometric and conventional approaches. Three major classes of N-glycans were detected, (i) high mannose, (ii) biantennary bisecting type, and (iii) biantennary, triantennary, and tetraantennary oligosaccharides terminated with Lewisx and Lewisy sequences. Immunostaining of normal sperm showed that glycoproteins bearing Lewisy sequences are localized to the acrosome and not the plasma membrane. In contrast, defective sperm showed distinct surface labeling with anti-Lewisy antibody. The substantial expression of high mannose and complex type N-glycans terminated with Lewisx and Lewisy sequences suggests that sperm glycoproteins are highly decorated with ligands for DC-SIGN. Based on previous studies, the addition of such carbohydrate signals should inhibit antigen-specific responses directed against sperm glycoproteins in both the male and female reproductive systems. Thus, the major N-glycans of human sperm are associated with the inhibition of both innate and adaptive immune responses. These results provide more support for the eutherian fetoembryonic defense system hypothesis that links the expression of carbohydrate functional groups to the protection of gametes and the developing human in utero. This study also highlights the usefulness of glycomic profiling for revealing potential physiological functions of glycans expressed in specific cell types.
