Comprehensive analysis of the glycoproteome is critical due to the importance of glycosylation to many aspects of protein function. The tremendous complexity of this post-translational modification, however, makes it difficult to adequately characterize the glycoproteome using any single method. To overcome this pitfall, in this report we compared three glycoproteomic analysis methods; first the recently developed N-linked glycans and glycosite-containing peptides (NGAG) chemoenzymatic method, second, solid-phase extraction of N-linked glycoproteins (SPEG), and third, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) by characterizing N-linked glycosites in the secretome of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Interestingly, the glycosites identified by SPEG and HILIC overlapped considerably whereas NGAG identified many glycosites not observed in the other two methods. Further, utilizing enhanced intact glycopeptide identification afforded by the NGAG workflow, we found that the sugar analog 1,3,4-O-Bu3ManNAc, a “high flux” metabolic precursor for sialic acid biosynthesis, increased sialylation of secreted proteins including recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO).

AbstractComprehensive analysis of the glycoproteome is critical due to the widespread importance of this post-translational modification to protein function, and difficult because of the tremendous complexity it exhibits. Here we compared three glycoproteomic analysis methods, a recently described chemoenzymatic glycoproteome analysis methods, N-linked glycans and glycosite containing peptides (NGAG), Solid-phase extraction of N-linked glycoproteins (SPEG), and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), for the analysis of N-linked glycosites of Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells treated with 1,3,4-O-Bu3ManNAc. The NGAG protocol resulted in substantially increased glycosite identifications over both SPEG and HILIC. Interestingly, while the glycosites identified by SPEG and HILIC overlapped strongly, NGAG identified many glycosites not observed in either of the other two methods. Further, utilizing the enhanced intact glycopeptide identification afforded by the NGAG workflow, we also found that of the sugar analog 1,3,4-O-Bu3ManNAc increases sialylation of proteins secreted by CHO cells, including an ectopically expressed human proteins.

As a complex and common post-translational modification, N-linked glycosylation affects a recombinant glycoprotein's biological activity and efficacy. For example, the α1,6-fucosylation significantly affects antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and α2,6-sialylation is critical for antibody anti-inflammatory activity. Terminal sialylation is important for a glycoprotein's circulatory half-life. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are currently the predominant recombinant protein production platform, and, in this review, the characteristics of CHO glycosylation are summarized. Moreover, recent and current metabolic engineering strategies for tailoring glycoprotein fucosylation and sialylation in CHO cells, intensely investigated in the past decades, are described. One approach for reducing α1,6-fucosylation is through inhibiting fucosyltransferase (FUT8) expression by knockdown and knockout methods. Another approach to modulate fucosylation is through inhibition of multiple genes in the fucosylation biosynthesis pathway or through chemical inhibitors. To modulate antibody sialylation of the fragment crystallizable region, expressions of sialyltransferase and galactotransferase individually or together with amino acid mutations can affect antibody glycoforms and further influence antibody effector functions. The inhibition of sialidase expression and chemical supplementations are also effective and complementary approaches to improve the sialylation levels on recombinant glycoproteins. The engineering of CHO cells or protein sequence to control glycoforms to produce more homogenous glycans is an emerging topic. For modulating the glycosylation metabolic pathways, the interplay of multiple glyco-gene knockouts and knockins and the combination of multiple approaches, including genetic manipulation, protein engineering and chemical supplementation, are detailed in order to achieve specific glycan profiles on recombinant glycoproteins for superior biological function and effectiveness.

The physiological function of ion channels is affected by protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions that modulate their activity and/or localization. Palmitoylation modulates protein function by facilitating targeted membrane association, interaction with other proteins, and determining subcellular localization. In this study, we demonstrate that the voltage-dependent potassium (Kv) channel Kv1.5 is palmitoylated and that the mutation of COOH-terminal cysteines is sufficient to abolish the palmitoylation of the Kv1.5 polypeptide in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The labeling represented the thioester linkage of the labeled palmitic acid to cysteine rather than amide and oxygen ester linkages as judged by the release of the palmitic acid upon the treatment of the gel with hydroxylamine at a neutral pH. Site-directed mutagenesis and radiolabeling studies revealed that C593 was the sole site of palmitoylation. The elucidation of the biological function of palmitoylation revealed that the expression of the FLAG-Kv1.5 palmitoylation-deficient mutant (FL-Kv1.5Palm−) in stable CHO cells increased membrane expression as determined by the biotinylation of surface proteins and quantitative immunofluorescence analyses of these cells, in turn enhancing the outward potassium current. This enhanced surface expression and the currents were consequential to the slower rate of internalization, causing an increased localization of FL-Kv1.5Palm−in the plasma membrane compared with the wild-type FL-Kv1.5 channels. We conclude that the Kv1.5 channel is palmitoylated and that its palmitoylation modulates its biological functions and, therefore, might provide a physiological link between the metabolic state and the expression of Kv1.5 on the plasma membrane.

As the most widely used mammalian cell line, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells can express various recombinant proteins with a post translational modification pattern similar to that of the proteins from human cells. During industrial production, cells need large amounts of ATP to support growth and protein expression, and since glycometabolism is the main source of ATP for cells, protein production partly depends on the efficiency of glycometabolism. And efficient glycometabolism allows less glucose uptake by cells, reducing production costs, and providing a better mammalian production platform for recombinant protein expression. In the present study, a series of progresses on the comprehensive optimization in CHO cells by glycometabolism strategy were reviewed, including carbohydrate intake, pyruvate metabolism and mitochondrial metabolism. We analyzed the effects of gene regulation in the upstream and downstream of the glucose metabolism pathway on cell’s growth and protein expression. And we also pointed out the latest metabolic studies that are potentially applicable on CHO cells. In the end, we elaborated the application of metabolic models in the study of CHO cell metabolism.

Two new ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) methods for analyzing 21 selected antivirals and their metabolites were optimized, including sample preparation step, LC separation conditions, and tandem mass spectrometry detection. Micro-solid phase extraction in pipette tips was used to extract antivirals from the biological material of Hanks balanced salt medium of pH 7.4 and 6.5. These media were used in experiments to evaluate the membrane transport of antiviral drugs. Challenging diversity of physicochemical properties was overcome using combined sorbent composed of C18 and ion exchange moiety, which finally allowed to cover the whole range of tested antivirals. For separation, reversed-phase (RP) chromatography and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), were optimized using extensive screening of stationary and mobile phase combinations. Optimized RP-UHPLC separation was carried out using BEH Shield RP18 stationary phase and gradient elution with 25 mmol/L formic acid in acetonitrile and in water. HILIC separation was accomplished with a Cortecs HILIC column and gradient elution with 25 mmol/L ammonium formate pH 3 and acetonitrile. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) conditions were optimized in both chromatographic modes, but obtained results revealed only a little difference in parameters of capillary voltage and cone voltage. While RP-UHPLC-MS/MS exhibited superior separation selectivity, HILIC-UHPLC-MS/MS has shown substantially higher sensitivity of two orders of magnitude for many compounds. Method validation results indicated that HILIC mode was more suitable for multianalyte methods. Despite better separation selectivity achieved in RP-UHPLC-MS/MS, the matrix effects were noticed while using both chromatographic modes leading to signal enhancement in RP and signal suppression in HILIC.

AbstractGoat milk is a source of nutrition in difficult areas and has lesser allerginicity than cow milk. It is leading in the area for nutraceutical formulation and drug development using goat mammary gland as a bioreactor. Post translational modifications of a protein regulate protein function, biological activity, stabilization and interactions. The protein variants of goat milk from 10 breeds were studied for the post translational modifications by combining highly sensitive 2DE and Q-Exactive LC-MS/MS. Here we observed high levels of post translational modifications in 201 peptides of 120 goat milk proteins. The phosphosites observed for CSN2, CSN1S1, CSN1S2, CSN3 were 11P, 13P, 17P and 6P, respectively in 105 casein phosphopeptides. Whey proteins BLG and LALBA showed 19 and 4 phosphosites respectively. Post translational modification was observed in 45 low abundant non-casein milk proteins mainly associated with signal transduction, immune system, developmental biology and metabolism pathways. Pasp is reported for the first time in 47 sites. The rare conserved peptide sequence of (SSSEE) was observed in αS1 and αS2 casein. The functional roles of identified phosphopeptides included anti-microbial, DPP-IV inhibitory, anti-inflammatory and ACE inhibitory. This is first report from tropics, investigating post translational modifications in casein and non-casein goat milk proteins and studies their interactions.

We identified a novel heterozygous hypofibrinogenemia, γY278H (Hiroshima). To demonstrate the cause of reduced plasma fibrinogen levels (functional level: 1.12 g/L and antigenic level: 1.16 g/L), we established γY278H fibrinogen-producing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay demonstrated that synthesis of γY278H fibrinogen inside CHO cells and secretion into the culture media were not reduced. Then, we established an additional five variant fibrinogen-producing CHO cell lines (γL276P, γT277P, γT277R, γA279D, and γY280C) and conducted further investigations. We have already established 33 γ-module variant fibrinogen-producing CHO cell lines, including 6 cell lines in this study, but only the γY278H and γT277R cell lines showed disagreement, namely, recombinant fibrinogen production was not reduced but the patients’ plasma fibrinogen level was reduced. Finally, we performed fibrinogen degradation assays and demonstrated that the γY278H and γT277R fibrinogens were easily cleaved by plasmin whereas their polymerization in the presence of Ca2+ and “D:D” interaction was normal. In conclusion, our investigation suggested that patient γY278H showed hypofibrinogenemia because γY278H fibrinogen was secreted normally from the patient’s hepatocytes but then underwent accelerated degradation by plasmin in the circulation.
