Collagen is a potent agonist for platelet activation, presenting itself as a key contributor to coagulation via interactions with platelet glycoproteins. The fine-details dictating plateletcollagen interactions are poorly understood. In particular, glycosylation could be a key determinant in the platelet-collagen interaction. Here we report an affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry-based approach to elucidate the function of N-glycans in dictating plateletcollagen interactions. By integrative proteomic and glycoproteomic analysis of collagen-platelet interactive proteins with N-glycan manipulation, we demonstrate that the interaction of platelet adhesive receptors with collagen are highly N-glycan regulated, with glycans on many receptors playing positive roles on collagen binding, with glycans on other platelet glycoproteins exhibiting inhibitory roles on the binding to collagen. Our results significantly enhance our understanding of the details of glycans influencing the platelet-collagen interaction.3 Platelets are crucial mediators of primary hemostasis and endothelial repair, however, chronic pathological platelet activation also plays a critical role in progressive vascular occlusion diseases. 1 Blood vessel damage exposes collagen within the subendothelial surface which serves as the primary target site of platelet action. 1 Contact between platelet receptor proteins and nascent exposed collagen instigates platelet activation and initiates the coagulation cascade. The coagulation cascade is well defined, however, a detailed understanding of fine details dictating the platelet-collagen interaction remains elusive. Post-translational modifications, including protein glycosylation are potential key regulators of protein-protein interactions, and have been shown to contribute to platelet protein adhesion to collagen. 2 3 The majority of critical collagen binding platelet membrane proteins, including GPIbα, GPIIb/IIIa, CD36, GPVI, and GPIX, are glycoproteins. Previous studies have reported the significant impact glycosylation on plateletcollagen adhesion for both N-glycosylation (glycoprotein VI (GPVI), integrin β1 (ITGB1)), 4 5 and O-glycosylation (glycoprotein Ib α (GP1BA), integrin αIIb, integrin α5 (ITGA5), and GPVI). 6 7 8 In addition, to other mechanisms, N-and O-glycosylation have been shown to play critical roles in many facets of the hemostatic system, including, expression, liver clearance 9 10 11 12 13 14 , catalytic activity, 15 signal transduction, 16 as well as the proper function of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in the clotting process. 15 17 18 19 20 21 However, there is a conspicuous dearth of information regarding the specific role of N-glycosylation dictating the binding of platelet proteins to collagen. Studies that have analyzed the impact of glycosylation on particular platelet protein function have relied predominantly on recombinant techniques for protein expression. The glycosylation of recombinant proteins varies widely based on cell type that is used to generate the proteins...
