  1. EUROCarbDBCCRC – Database for high quality mass spectrometry data Khalifeh Al Jadda1, Haseeb Yousef1, Kitae Myong1, Srikalyan Swayampakula1, David Damerell2, René Ranzinger1, William York1 1 Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, University of Georgia, Athens, GA , USA 2 Imperial College London, London, UK Introduction The establishment of high-quality collection of reference data for mass spectrometric (MS) analysis is a key task required to improve the efficiency and accuracy of glycomics analysis. A library of high quality annotation and reference spectra will not only enable future annotation procedures but also shed light on gas-phase fragmentation mechanisms and the influence device-dependent factors on fragmentation patterns. The need for a collection of standard reference data was identified as a high priority at the CFG workshop on Analytical and Bioinformatic Glycomics in April 2009, and two CFG bridging grants were established to systematically record the MS and MSn spectra of the currently available synthetic N-glycans and O-glycans to seed a high quality reference library. The EUROCarbDB design study has established the foundation for database and bioinformatics tools in the realm of glycobiology and glycomics, into which all interested research groups can feed their primary data [1]. In collaboration with the developers of the EUROCarbDB database, we extended EUROCarbDB to record high quality mass spectrometry data and installed a new instance (EUROCarbDBCCRC) at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center (Athens, Georgia, USA). Together with members of the bridging grant projects we defined a data submission workflow using MS standard data files (mzXML) and GlycoWorkbench [2] annotation files to submit the spectra and annotation to our database. Live connection to other databases • EUROCarbDB can be synchronized with GlycomeDB • Synchronization allows updating EUROCarbDB with structure references to external databases • External databases are GlycomeDB, GLYCOSCIENCES.de, CarbBank, CFG, BCSDB, KEGG, GlycoBase, PDB [3] • These references are used to create Hyperlinks to these databases Figure 3: Importing database references via GlycomeDB and linking back to the databases Mass Spectrometry upload workflow GlycoWorkbench: (Semi-) Automatic Peak Annotation Figure 4: Workflow for the mzXML file upload (left) and the GlycoWorkbench data file upload (right) Figure1: GlycoWorkbench main Interface Figure 7:Upload GWB file for that acquisition GlycoWorkbench is a suite of software tools designed for rapid drawing of glycan structures and for assisting the process of structure determination from mass spectrometry data. The graphical interface of GlycoWorkbench provides an environment in which structure models can be rapidly assembled, their mass computed, their fragments automatically matched with MSn data and the results compared to assess the best candidate. Within in the project GlycoWorkbench is used for the annotation of MS data. Subsequently GlycoWorkbench data files are used to import this annotation into the database. Figure 6:Select a created acquisition The workflow of this uploading system started with uploading a mzXML file to create an acquisition. Then any user can upload his annotation to this acquisition by uploading an appropriate GlycoWorkbench data file through our uploading system. Furthermore users can show any annotation and export it again into a GlycoWorkbench data file. Figure 5: Creating an acquisition based on mzXML files Figrue 8: View or download the annotations Figure2 : Annotation comparison • Outlook • A new EUROCarbDB instance will be installed at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center • Using the implemented upload workflow MS data from standard glycans will be used to populate the database • After population this database can be used as a reference database for MS data and for the development of fragmentation rules which can assist further MS annotation • Summary • The web based mzXML file upload enables users to store experimental MS data in the EUROCarbDB database generated by any mass spectrometer. • Annotated MS spectra can be uploaded by using GlycoWorkbench annotation and data files • Uploaded carbohydrate structures are automatically cross referenced with existing carbohydrate databases by using GlycomeDB cross references.
