Abstract
Glycoproteomics recently became a very active field, mostly in mammals. The first part of this paper consists of a mini-review on the strategies used in glycoproteomics, namely methods for enrichment in glycoproteins and mass spectrometry (MS) techniques currently used. In a second part, these strategies are applied to the cell wall glycoproteome of etiolated hypocotyls of Arabidopsis thaliana, showing their complementarity. Several sub-glycoproteomes were obtained by: (i) affinity chromatography on concanavaline A (ConA) and analysis of glycoproteins by MALDI-TOF MS; (ii) multidimensional lectin chromatography (using AIL, PNA, ConA and WGA lectins) and subsequent identification of glycoproteins by MALDI-TOF MS and LC–MS/MS; (iii) boronic acid chromatography followed by identification of glycoproteins by MALDI-TOF MS. Altogether, 127 glycoproteins were identified. Most glycoproteins were found to be putative N-glycoproteins and N-glycopeptides were predicted from MS data using the ProTerNyc bioinformatics software.
