Abstrakt: As the main active glycoprotein of egg white, the biological functions of chicken ovomucin α- and β-subunit are closely related to the structure of glycans. However, the exact composition and structure of the subunit glycans are still unknown. We obtained highly pure chicken ovomucin α-subunit and β-subunit protein bands by the strategy combined with two-step isoelectric precipitation and SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis. The ammonia-catalyzed one-pot procedure was then used to release and capture α-and β-subunit protein glycans with 1-phenyl- 3-Methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP). The N/O-glycans of bis-PMP derivatives were purified and analyzed by LC-MS. More importantly, an effective dual modification was performed to accurately quantify neutral and sialylated O-glycans through methylamidation of sialic acid residues and simultaneously through carbonyl condensation reactions of reducing ends with PMP. We first showed that the α-subunit protein has only N-glycosylation modification, and the β-subunit only O-glycosylation, a total of 22 N-glycans and 20 O-glycans were identified in the α- and β-subunit, respectively. In addition, the complex N-glycan (47 %) and the sialylated O-glycan (77 %) are each major types of the above subunits. Such findings in this study provide a basis for studying the functional and biological activities of chicken ovomucin glycans.
