O-linked glycopeptides that bear a GalNAc core with and without the presence of sialic acid have been analyzed by high energy collision-induced dissociation (CID). We show that the CID spectra from the glycosylated precursor ions contain sufficient information to identify the peptide sequence and to determine the glycosylated site(s). Asialo O-linked glycopeptides, previously prepared from a tryptic digest of bovine fetuin were studied. One of the glycopeptides contained only a single Hex (hexose)-HexNAc (N-acetylhexosamine) substitution at Thr(262), whereas the other exhibited Hex-HexNAc moieties at both Thr(262) and Ser(264). In addition, sialo and asialo fetuin glycopeptides from a pronase digest were derivatized with t-butoxycarbonyl-tyrosine, and characterized by high energy CID analysis. The presence of a Gal beta(1,3)GalNAc core structure at Ser(264) was confirmed by using the substrate specificity of endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. These studies revealed the presence of a P-galactosidase specific for beta(1,4) linkages in the endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase preparation employed. Finally, the relative stability of N- and O-glycosyl bonds to high energy CID is addressed based upon comparison of the behavior of a synthetic N-linked glycopeptide with analogous O-linked structures.
