Advances in O-GalNAc glycosylation research based on biological mass spectrometry
2017
Glycosylation is one of the most common and important post-translational
modifications of proteins in eukaryotic cells. It is prevalent in
cell membrane proteins and secreted proteins, performing important
biological functions. Major types of protein glycosylation include N -glycosylation and O -glycosylation. O -GalNAc glycosylation is an important form of O -glycosylation and plays vital roles in regulating many key biological
processes. It has close correlation with the occurrence and development
of cancer. Thanks to powerful metabolic labeling methods, chemical
derivatization approaches, mass spectrometry techniques and gene editing
technology, the identification and elucidation of O -GalNAc glycosylation sites and sugar chains are developing rapidly.
This paper reviews the advances in research of O -GalNAc
glycosylation in recent years.
