Resumo

GlycoRNA consists of RNAs modified with secretory N-glycans that are presented on the cell surface. Although previous work supported a covalent linkage between RNA and glycans, the direct chemical nature of the RNA-glycan connection was not described. Here, we develop a sensitive and scalable protocol to detect and characterize native glycoRNAs. Leveraging RNA-optimized periodate oxidation and aldehyde ligation (rPAL) and sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS), we identified the modified RNA base 3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)uridine (acp
