With glycosylation now firmly established across both Archaeal and bacterial proteins, a wide array of glycan diversity has become evident from structural analysis and genomic data. These discoveries have been built in part on the development and application of mass spectrometric technologies to the bacterial glycoproteome. This review highlights recent findings using high sensitivity MS of the large variation of glycans that have been reported on flagellin and pilin proteins of bacteria, using both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’ approaches to the characterization of these glycoproteins. We summarize current knowledge of the sugar modifications that have been observed on flagellins and pilins, in terms of both the diverse repertoire of monosaccharides observed, and the assemblage of moieties that decorate many of these sugars.

ABSTRACTThe characterization of glycoproteins, like erythropoietin, is challenging due to the structural micro- and macro-heterogeneity of the protein glycosylation. This study presents an in-depth strategy for glycosylation analysis of a first-generation erythropoietin (epoetin beta), including a developed top-down mass spectrometric workflow for N-glycan analysis, bottom-up mass spectrometric methods for site-specific N-glycosylation and a LC-MS approach for O-glycan identification. Permethylated N-glycans, peptides and enriched glycopeptides of erythropoietin were analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS and de-N-glycosylated erythropoietin was measured by LC-MS, enabling the qualitative and quantitative analysis of glycosylation and different glycan modifications (e.g., phosphorylation and O-acetylation). Extending the coverage of our newly developed Python script to phosphorylated N-glycans enabled the identification of 140 N-glycan compositions (237 N-glycan structures) from erythropoietin. The site-specificity of N-glycans was revealed at glycopeptide level by pGlyco software using different proteases. In total, 215 N-glycan compositions were identified from N-glycan and glycopeptide analysis. Moreover, LC-MS analysis of de-N-glycosylated erythropoietin species identified two different O-glycan compositions, based on the mass shifts between non-O-glycosylated and O-glycosylated species. This integrated strategy allows the in-depth glycosylation analysis of a therapeutic glycoprotein to understand its pharmacological properties and improving the manufacturing processes.

Most of the Spanish media have portrayed Catalan independentism as nationalism and populism. This article argues that this political and social mobilization does not fit into the usual definitions of populism as anti-elitist, anti-liberal and anti-pluralistic movement. Catalan independentism is here interpreted by stressing its democratic features, namely as a form of democratic populism: horizontally organized, and critical of procedural safeguards and counter-majoritarian powers. The popular organization of the referendum on 1 October 2017 and the vigorous democratic experience by almost half of the population of Catalonia allow for a characterization of this populism as a hybrid phenomenon that includes bottom-up and top-down dynamics, thereby contrasting with the usual leader-centred understanding of populism.

Characterization of circadian systems at the organism level—a top-down approach—has led to definition of unifying properties, a hallmark of the science of chronobiology. The next challenge is to use a bottom-up approach to show how the molecular workings of the cellular circadian clock work as building blocks of those properties. We review new studies, including a recently published PLOS Biology paper by Nikhil and colleagues, that show how programmed but also stochastic generation of variation in cellular circadian period explain important adaptive features of entrained circadian phase.
