Strategies for biomarker discovery increasingly focus on biofluid protein and peptide expression patterns. Post-translational modifications (PTM) contribute significantly to the pattern complexity and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining specific biomarkers for diagnostics and disease monitoring. Glycosylation is a common PTM that plays a role e.g. in cell adhesion and in cell-cell and receptor-ligand interactions. Abnormal protein glycosylation has important disease associations and the glycoproteome is therefore a target for biomarker discovery. We here present a simple and highly selective strategy for purification of sialic acid-containing glycopeptides (the sialiome) from complex peptide mixtures. The approach utilizes a high and selective affinity of sialic acids for titanium dioxide under specific buffer conditions. In combination with mass spectrometry we used this strategy to characterize the human plasma and saliva sialiomes, where 192 and 97 glycosylation sites, respectively, were identified. Furthermore, we illustrate the potential of this method in biomarker discovery.
