A comprehensive landscape of human organ N-glycoproteome

N-glycosylation, as a common post-translational modification with enormous structures, plays key roles in protein folding, cellular recognition and signaling pathways. State-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based N-glycoproteomics has enabled deep N-glycoproteome characterization of various human organs. However, a comprehensive N-glycoproteome landscape of human organs remains lacking. Here we present a systematic human N-glycoproteome atlas spanning 18 organs/tissues with identification of 31,003 N-glycan structure-level and 14,043 monosaccharide composition-level intact N-glycopeptides on 5,539 N-glycosites of 3,681 N-glycoproteins. Tissue-specific N-glycosylation patterns, novel glycoforms and crosstalk between sialylation and fucosylation are observed. This atlas, complemented by a unified multi-software analysis framework, provides insights into organ-specific glycobiology and establishes a fundamental reference for understanding physiological N-glycosylation characteristics of human tissues.
