Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based "-omics" technologies are important tools for global and detailed mapping of post-translational modifications. Protein glycosylation is an abundant and important post translational modification widespread throughout all domains of life. Characterization of glycoproteins, including identification of glycan structure and components, their attachment sites and protein carriers, remains challenging. However, recent advances in glycoproteomics, a subbranch that studies and categorizes protein glycosylations, have greatly expanded the known protein glycosylation space and research in this area is rapidly accelerating. Here, we review recent developments in glycoproteomic technologies with a special focus on microbial protein glycosylation.
