Abstract: Sulfated N- and O-glycans exist in trace levels which are challenging to detect, particularly in the presence of abundant neutral and sialylated glycans. Current MALDI-TOF MS-based sulfoglycomics approaches employ permethylation to discriminate sulfated glycans from sialylated glycans and charge-based separation to isolate the sulfated glycans from the rest of the permethylated neutral and sialyl-glycans. However, these methods suffer from concomitant sample losses during cleanup steps. In this study, we describe Glycoblotting as a straightforward complementary method that offers a seamless platform for glycan purification, enrichment, methylation, and labeling to address sulfated glycan enrichment, sialic acid methylation, and sample loss. Glycoblotting’s on-bead chemoselective ligation of reducing sugars with hydrazide demonstrates excellent recovery of sulfated glycans and allows the detection of more sulfated glycan species. The on-bead methyl esterification of sialic acid using 3-methyl-1-p-tolyltriazene (MTT) effectively discriminates sulfated glycans from sialylated glycans. Furthermore, MTT facilitates simultaneous detection and differentiation of sulfate and phosphate groups in isobaric N-glycan species. Additionally, we investigate the expression of acidic N-glycans, specifically sulfated and phosphorylated N-glycans, in the egg whites of 72 avian species belonging to the Order Anseriformes (waterfowls). Employing the Glycoblotting-based sulphoglycomics approach, we elucidated the diversity of acidic N-glycans and their implication in protecting embryos from infections. Our findings revealed family-specific variations in waterfowl egg whites sulfated and phosphorylated N-glycan profiles. Different waterfowl species exhibit distinct expressions of sulfated trans-Gal(+) and trans-Gal(-) N-glycan structures. Moreover, species-specific expression of phosphorylated N-glycans was also observed. Notably, waterfowl species with a high virus prevalence expressed a higher abundance of phosphorylated hybrid and high-mannose N-glycans on their egg whites. The Glycoblotting-based sulphoglycomics approach presents a significant breakthrough in sulfated glycan analysis, simplifying the existing MALDI-TOF MS-based sulphoglycomics workflow and enabling comprehensive exploration of the complex glycome of biological samples. Furthermore, the findings of this study shed light on the importance of phosphorylated and sulfated N-glycans in understanding the role of acidic glycans in the Influenza A virus (IAV) propagation in waterfowl. These results hold immense potential for advancing our understanding of IAV propagation in avian species and guiding the development of targeted interventions to combat influenza.
