A meta-analysis was performed to investigate whether a switch from β-lactams to glycopeptides for cardiac surgery prophylaxis should be advised. Results of 7 randomized trials (5761 procedures) that compared surgical site infections (SSIs) in subjects receiving glycopeptide prophylaxis with SSIs in those who received β-lactam prophylaxis were pooled. Neither agent proved to be superior for prevention of the primary outcome, occurrence of SSI at 30 days (risk ratio [RR], 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91-1.42). In subanalyses, β-lactams were superior to glycopeptides for prevention of chest SSIs (RR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.11-1.95) and approached superiority for prevention of deep-chest SSIs (RR, 1.33; 95% CI, 0.91-1.94) and SSIs caused by gram-positive bacteria (RR, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.98-1.91). Glycopeptides approached superiority to β-lactams for prevention of leg SSIs (RR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.58-1.01) and were superior for prevention of SSIs caused by methicillin-resistant gram-positive bacteria ...

AU - Wang, Qiong. AU - Betenbaugh, Michael. AU - Zhang, Hui. PY - 2020/4/17. Y1 - 2020/4/17. N2 - Recently, the glycoproteomic analysis of intact glycopeptides has emerged as an effective approach to decipher the glycan modifications of glycoproteins at the site-specific level. A rapid method to enrich intact glycopeptides is essential for the analysis of glycoproteins, especially for biopharmaceutical proteins. In this study, we established a one-step method for the rapid capture of intact glycopeptides for analysis by mass spectrometry. Compared to the conventional sequential enrichment method, the one-step intact glycopeptide enrichment method reduced the sample preparation time and improved the detection of intact glycopeptides with long sequences or non-polar amino acids. Moreover, an increased ...

Four glycopeptides (I, IIA, IIB, III) with different oligosaccharide structures were isolated from purified mouse thymocyte Thy-1 glycoprotein. The glycoprotein was digested with Pronase, and the glycopeptide fraction was isolated by gel filtration and acetylated with [3H]acetic anhydride. The different glycan structures were separated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B and lentil lectin-Sepharose 4B. Size determinations of intact and exoglycosidase- and endoglycosidase-digested glycopeptides were performed by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-6, calibrated with glycopeptides of known structure. On the basis of these experiments and on the behaviour of the glycopeptides on the lectin columns, the following structures of the oligosaccharide chains were proposed: I, triantennary complex-type with terminal fucose; IIA, biantennary complex-type without fucose; IIB, biantennary complex-type with fucose; III, a mixture of high-mannose chains containing either five or six ...

We report here the use of TEV protease cleavable fusion proteins to produce glycosylated bioactive peptides and proteins. Bacterial expression was utilized to produce two fusion proteins, GPRT-C37-H6 and His-tagged interleukin-2 (amino acids 6-133), which when cleaved by the tobacco etch virus NIa protease (TEV protease) to generate HIV entry inhibitor peptide C37-H6 and a truncated version of the cytokine interleukin-2, both containing N-terminal cysteines. The N-terminal cysteine containing C37-H6 and truncated interleukin-2 were then joined to a synthetic glycopeptide thioester utilizing native chemical ligation under nondenaturing and denaturing conditions, respectively. The ligations of the glycopeptide to the C37-H6 peptide and the truncated interleukin-2 protein both proceeded in high yield, though the size, and physical properties of the two polypeptides differ greatly ...

Synthesis of glycopeptides containing carbohydrate and peptide recognition motifs. Novel enzymatic mechanisms in carbohydrate metabolism

Antimicrobial glycopeptides of innate immune origin : The resistance of insects to bacterial infection is explained by their ability to synthesize a diverse range of antibacterial peptides. A remarkable feature of some proline rich antibacterial peptides such as drosocin, pyrrhocoricin, formaecins, diptericin and lebocins which have been isolated from insects, is the presence of conserved O-glycosylated threonine residue and the integrity of the carbohydrate side chain is necessary for their maximum activity. The exact role of the sugar remains an enigma. We are addressing the problem of role of carbohydrate domains in the activity of antimicrobial glycopeptides by studying their structure-function relationship. However, the mode of action of this class of cationic antimicrobial glycopeptides is not known completely and they are thought to kill bacteria by entering cells and binding to target/targets. The studies addressing mechanistic aspects are also undertaken and are in progress for the ...

To control for potential effects on mortality because of reverse causation, we did a sensitivity analysis excluding patients with major stroke, but results remained qualitatively unchanged (Table 2). In addition, analysis of copeptin by tertiles or by using the 90th percentile of copeptin levels in controls (8.11 pmol/L) in patients revealed similar results (all vascular events: top tertile versus lowest tertile: adjusted HR, 1.91; 95% CI, 1.43-2.53; P,0.0001 and 90th percentile of controls in patients: adjusted HR, 1.76; 1.41-2.20; P,0.0001; Table I in the online-only Data Supplement). Use of the 95th percentile of controls (10.67 pmol/L) in patients revealed practically identical results (all vascular events: adjusted HR, 1.76; 1.40-2.21). The absolute 5-year risk for recurrent vascular events was 0.38 (95% CI, 0.33-0.42) for patients with copeptin levels ≥90th percentile in controls and 0.21 (0.18-0.25) for patients with levels below (Table II in the online-only Data Supplement)..

A mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomic characterization of zebrafish embryos was performed to identify the N-linked glycoproteins and N-linked glycosylation sites. To increase the number of glycopeptides, proteins from zebrafish were digested with two different proteases--chymotrypsin and trypsin--into peptides of different length. The N-glycosylated peptides of zebrafish were then captured by the solid-phase extraction of N-linked glycopeptides (SPEG) method and the peptides were identified with an LTQ OrbiTrap Velos mass spectrometer.

Chest pain is a clinical problem which often results in emergency department visits and is characterized by difficult differential diagnosis. Although..

Only 1 in 10 patients with acute chest pain in the emergency department turn out to have an acute myocardial infarction, yet many are not released from the hospital until after 6 to 12 hours of cardiac monitoring and multiple ECG and troponin tests. The search for a test that can rule out MI early in the process has proved elusive.. The Biomarkers in Cardiology-8 (BIC-8) trial, presented at the European Society of Cardiology meeting in Amsterdam, was designed to determine the utility of the combination of troponin and copeptin testing. Copeptin is a marker of severe hemodynamic stress. After an acute MI, copeptin levels increase rapidly. In earlier observational studies, the combination test was found to have a negative predictive value of 99%.. Some 902 patients with suspected ACS who were troponin-negative were randomized to standard treatment or an experimental strategy in which those with a negative copeptin test were discharged early. At 30 days, there were no significant differences in the ...

Aim: To explore the association of plasma copeptin, the C-terminal portion of provasopressin and a stable surrogate marker for arginine vasopressin secretion, with plasma glucagon in obese men and men of normal weight. Methods: We measured fasting blood concentrations of copeptin and glucagon in 102 healthy obese men (mean ± sd age 49.4 ± 10.2 years) and a control group 27 healthy men of normal weight (mean ± sd age 51.5 ± 8.4 years). Differences between groups were evaluated using t-tests, and multiple linear regression analysis, adjusting for age and weight status (normal weight vs obese), was used to calculate unstandardized regression coefficients (β) with 95% CIs between copeptin and glucagon. Copeptin was (natural) log-transformed. Results: The obese men had higher [median (interquartile range)] plasma copeptin concentrations [6.6 (4.6-9.5) vs 4.9 (3.5-6.8) pmol/l; P = 0.040] and higher mean ± sd plasma glucagon concentrations (8.5 ± 3.8 vs 5.3 ± 1.4 pmol/l; P , 0.001) than the ...

Background. Copeptin has been known to predict heart failure and cardiovascular death in patients with acute coronary syndrome.. Methods. We collected coronary arterial blood samples from the infarct artery during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 80 STEMI pts and 28 controls. We assessed commonly used cardiac biomarkers (CK, CK-MB, troponin-I, CRP) and additionally measured recently introduced biomarkers (Copeptin [C-terminal Provasopressin] and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP]).. Results. Pt age was 58±12 yrs and 93% were males. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) of the culprit lesion in 67 pts showed ruptured plaques in 28 pts. STEMI pts had a higher Copeptin level (265.89±183.11 pmol/L) vs193.67±60.16 pmol/L in normal controls, p=0.005. Especially, Copeptin levels were higher in ruptured plaque compared to non-ruptured plaques: 318.83±209.34 pmol/L vs 221.99±151.49 pmol/L, p=0.034. While troponin I, CK-MB, and CRP were not correlated with Copeptin, ...

The median concentration of copeptin at admission was lower in AECOPD compared to acute HF (8.8 [5.2-19.7] vs. 22.2 [10.2-47.9]) pmol/L, p < 0.001), but NT-proBNP discriminated acute HF from non-HF related dyspnea more accurately than copeptin (ROC-AUC 0.85 [0.81-0.89] vs. 0.71 [0.66-0.77], p < 0.0001). Adjusted for basic risk factors, increased copeptin concentrations predicted mortality in AECOPD (HR per log (ln) unit 1.72 [95% CI 1.21-2.45], p = 0.003) and acute HF (1.61 [1.25-2.09], p < 0.001), whereas NT-proBNP concentrations predicted mortality only in acute HF (1.62 [1.27-2.06], p < 0.001). On top of a basic model copeptin reclassified a significant proportion of patients into a more accurate risk strata in AECOPD (NRI 0.60 [0.19-1.02], p = 0.004) and acute HF (0.39 [0.06-0.71], p = 0.020). CONCLUSION ...

Crude extracts of Vicia graminea seeds contain an agglutinin that is blood group N specific. The lectin exhibits a complex carbohydrate specificity. It is not inhibited by any mono- or disaccharides, although the O-linked blood group N antigen is a disaccharide with the structure Gal β(1,3)GalNAc. This carbohydrate structure is also recognized by the peanut lectin, but PNA binds to other galactose containing glycoconjugates as well. The peptide portion of the blood group N antigen is critical for binding of VGA. The extended binding site of the lectin reacts with clusters of O-linked Gal β(1,3)GalNAc adjacent to an N-terminal leucine residue 1,2 . Disaccharide clusters located on the first eight amino acids of O-linked glycopeptides react more strongly than these same clusters located on other amino acid residues 2 . VGA will bind to glycoproteins containing sialic acid, but removal of terminal sialic acid residues from these glycoproteins increases the reactivity of VGA. Both VGA and PNA can ...

Chen R., Jiang X., Sun D., Han G., Wang F., Ye M., Wang L., Zou H.. The study of protein glycosylation has lagged far behind the progress of current proteomics because of the enormous complexity, wide dynamic range distribution and low stoichiometric modification of glycoprotein. Solid phase extraction of tryptic N-glycopeptides by hydrazide chemistry is becoming a popular protocol for the analysis of N-glycoproteome. However, in silico digestion of proteins in human proteome database by trypsin indicates that a significant percentage of tryptic N-glycopeptides is not in the preferred detection mass range of shotgun proteomics approach, that is, from 800 to 3500 Da. And the quite big size of glycan groups may block trypsin to access the K, R residues near N-glycosites for digestion, which will result in generation of big glycopeptides. Thus many N-glycosites could not be localized if only trypsin was used to digest proteins. Herein, we describe a comprehensive way to analyze the N-glycoproteome ...

Kathrin Stavenhagen: Glycopeptide analysis remains challenging because of its sample heterogeneity resulting from the degree of glycosylation site occupancy (macroheterogeneity) and the different glycoforms attached to individual glycosylation sites (microheterogeneity).. With respect to the latter one, qualitative site-specific glycosylation information of glycoproteins can be obtained by unspecific protease treatment resulting in small amino acid stretches carrying the glycan. This improves determination of the glycosylation sites. However, detecting these glycopeptides by 1D-LC-ESI-MS/MS is challenging due to insufficient or irreversible retention on the stationary phase and thus multiple analyses with different LC-setups are required. Since biological sample amounts are usually limited, methods for acquiring comprehensive information in a single run are necessary.. To obtain qualitative information of the glycosylation site we set up an integrated C18-porous graphitized carbon ...

Although it typically evades the immune system, HIV does have sites of vulnerability that can be targeted in vaccine design. One such site is a glycan near the V3 loop of the envelope protein, but antibodies recognizing this epitope are often not detected in people infected with HIV. Alam et al. designed a synthetic glycopeptide that can identify B cells targeting this epitope and also used it to immunize macaques. Bonsignori et al. used this synthetic glycopeptide and other baits to study the V3-glycan antibody responses of an HIV-infected individual that developed broadly neutralizing antibodies. They also examined viral evolution over time and found clues as to why these types of antibodies do not develop more often. These tools and findings could pave the way for a vaccine that protects against diverse strains of HIV. ...

AMI was the final diagnosis in 156 patients (7.9%). A negative copeptin and cTnI at baseline ruled out AMI for 58% of patients, with a negative predictive value (NPV) of 99.2%. AMIs not detected by the initial cTnI alone were picked up with copeptin >14 pmol/L in 23/32 patients (72%). Non−ST-segment elevation MIs (NSTEMIs) undetected by cTnI at 0 hours were detected with copeptin >14 pmol/L in 10/19 patients (53%). Projected average time-to-decision could be reduced by 43% (from 3.0 hours to 1.8 hours) by the early rule out of 58% of patients. Both abnormal copeptin and cTnI were predictors of death at 180 days (p < 0.0001 for both, c-index 0.784 and 0.800, respectively). Both were independent of age and each other and provided additional predictive value (p < 0.0001).. ...

There is a very strong correlation between the affinity of peptide binding to MHC molecules and the capacity of the peptide to induce an immune response (31, 32). This information is critical to the strategy used in this study. The size of a peptide determines its capacity to bind class I MHC. Whereas the optimal peptide length for most murine MHC molecules appears to be 9-amino acid residues, the Kb and Kk molecules prefer 8-residue peptides (33). Kb molecules were initially chosen to define a glycopeptide that: (a) binds with high affinity; and (b) will be of a structure that skews the T cell response toward recognition of the carbohydrate moiety rather than toward either the peptide or the MHC molecule. The critical anchor residues for Kb binding have been canonically defined as phenylalanine (F) or tyrosine (Y) in position 5 and leucine (L) or methionine (M) at position 8 of an octamer peptide (8). The maintenance of critical hydrogen bonding between main chain atoms in the peptide and atoms ...

1GAC: Conformation of A82846B, a Glycopeptide Antibiotic, Complexed with its Cell Wall Fragment: An Asymmetric Homodimer Determined Using NMR Spectroscopy.

An estimate of the relative abundance of the various O-glycans was determined from nanoLC-ESI-IT-MS analysis of trypsin-generated (glyco)peptides. It should be noted that because the signal of the monosialylated O-glycopeptide in triply charged state overlapped with the doubly charged peak of the hinge repeat peptide with a putative acetylation modification in all samples, only the doubly charged signal of the monosialylated O-glycopeptide was quantified, thereby leading to an underestimation of this O-glycoform. Furthermore, it is known that glycopeptides with different glycan structures can have different response factors (35), and thus the relative abundances we measured may not accurately reflect the real ratios. In order to obtain a more reliable estimate of the percentage of the hinge repeat motif bearing an O-glycan, tryptic IgG peptides were incubated with exoglycosidases, trimming all O-glycans down to a single N-acetylhexosamine. A previous study of quantitative measurements of a ...
