A novel method employing CE-ESMS and precursor ion scanning was developed for the selective detection of nucleotide-activated sugars. By using precursor ion scanning for fragment ions specific to the different nucleotide carriers, i.e., ions at m/z 322 for cytidine monophosphate, m/z 323, 385, and 403 for uridine diphosphate, m/z 362, 424, and 442, for guanosine diphosphate, and m/z 346, 408, and 426 for adenosine diphosphate, it was possible to selectively detect sugar nucleotides involved in the biosynthesis of glycoconjugates such as glycoproteins and lipopolysaccharides. Enhancement of sensitivity was achieved using N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-IV-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) as a sample stacking buffer and provided detection limits between 0.2 and 3.8 pmol.mL(-1). The present CE-ESMS method provided linear dynamic ranges over the concentrations 0.2-164 nM (r(2) = 0.952-0.997) for different nucleotide sugar standards. The application of this method is demonstrated for the identification of intracellular pools of sugar nucleotides in wild type and isogenic mutants from the bacteria] pathogen Campylobacter jejuni. By using product ion scanning (with and without front-end collision-induced dissociation), it was possible to determine the precise nature of unexpected sugar nucleotides involved in the biosynthesis of pseudaminic acid, a sialic acid-like sugar previously observed on the flagellin of some pathogenic bacteria.
