Updated project metadata. HeLa cell line is frequently used in biomedical research, however little is known about N-glycan structures expressed on individual glycoproteins of this complex sample. We characterized site-specific N-glycosylation of HeLa N-glycoproteins using a complex workflow based on high and low energy tandem mass spectrometry experiments and rigorous data evaluation. The analyses revealed high amount of bovine serum contaminants compromising previous results focusing on released glycan analysis. We reliably identified 43 (human) glycoproteins, 69 N-glycosylation sites and 178 glycopeptides following an acetone precipitation based sample enrichment step. HeLa glycoproteins were found to be highly fucosylated and in several cases localization of the fucose (core or antenna) could also be determined based on low energy tandem mass spectra. High-mannose sugars were expressed in high amounts as expected in case of a cancer cell line. Our method enabled the detailed characterization of site-specific N-glycosylation of several glycoproteins expressed in HeLa. Furthermore, we were the first to experimentally prove the existence of 31 glycosylation sites, where previously presence of glycosylation was only predicted based on the existence of the consensus sequon.
