Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as glycosylation and phosphorylation, are crucial for various signaling and regulatory events, and are therefore an important objective of proteomics research. We describe here a protocol for isotope-coded glycosylation site–specific tagging (IGOT), a method for the large-scale identification of N-linked glycoproteins from complex biological samples. The steps of this approach are: (1) lectin column–mediated affinity capture of glycopeptides generated by protease digestion of protein mixtures; (2) purification of the enriched glycopeptides by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HIC); (3) peptide-N-glycanase-mediated incorporation of a stable isotope tag, 18O18O, specifically at the N-glycosylation site; and (4) identification of 18O-tagged peptides by liquid chromatography–coupled mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based proteomics technology. The application of this protocol to the characterization of N-linked glycoproteins from crude extracts of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans or mouse liver provides a list of hundreds to a thousand glycoproteins and their sites of glycosylation within a week.
