RESUMEN

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope protein (Env) mediates viral entry into host cells and is the primary target for the humoral immune response. Env is extensively glycosylated, and these glycans shield underlying epitopes from neutralizing antibodies. The glycosylation of Env is influenced by the type of host cell in which the virus is produced. Thus, HIV is distinctly glycosylated by CD4+ T cells, the major target cells, and macrophages. However, the specific differences in glycosylation between viruses produced in these cell types have not been explored at the molecular level. Moreover, it remains unclear whether the production of HIV in CD4+ T cells or macrophages affects the efficiency of viral spread and resistance to neutralization. To address these questions, we employed the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) model. Glycan analysis implied higher relative levels of oligomannose-type N-glycans in SIV from CD4+ T cells (T-SIV) compared to SIV from macrophages (M-SIV), and the complex-type N-glycans profiles seem to differ between the two viruses. Notably, M-SIV demonstrated greater infectivity than T-SIV, even when accounting for Env incorporation, suggesting that host cell-dependent factors influence infectivity. Further, M-SIV was more efficiently disseminated by HIV binding cellular lectins. We also evaluated the influence of cell type-dependent differences on SIV's vulnerability to carbohydrate binding agents (CBAs) and neutralizing antibodies. T-SIV demonstrated greater susceptibility to mannose-specific CBAs, possibly due to its elevated expression of oligomannose-type N-glycans. In contrast, M-SIV exhibited higher susceptibility to neutralizing sera in comparison to T-SIV. These findings underscore the importance of host cell-dependent attributes of SIV, such as glycosylation, in shaping both infectivity and the potential effectiveness of intervention strategies.

RESUMEN

N-glycosylation is a central component in the modification of secretory proteins. One characteristic of this process is a heterogeneous output. The heterogeneity is the result of both structural constraints of the glycoprotein as well as the composition of the cellular glycosylation machinery. Empirical data addressing correlations between glycosylation output and glycosylation machinery composition are seldom due to the low abundance of glycoenzymes. We assessed how differences in the glycoenzyme expression affected the N-glycosylation output at a cellular as well as at a protein-specific level. Our results showed that cellular N-glycome changes could be correlated with the variation of glycoenzyme expression, whereas at the protein level differential responses to glycoenzymes alterations were observed. We therefore identified a hierarchical structure in the N-glycosylation process: the enzyme levels in this complex pathway determine its capacity (reflected in the N-glycome), while protein-specific parameters determine the glycosite-specificity. What emerges is a highly variable and adaptable protein modification system that represents a hallmark of eukaryotic cells.

RESUMEN

Defects in the evolutionarily conserved protein-glycosylation machinery during embryonic development are often fatal. Consequently, congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) in human are rare. We modelled a putative hypomorphic mutation described in an alpha-1,3/1,6-mannosyltransferase (ALG2) index patient (ALG2-CDG) to address the developmental consequences in the teleost medaka (Oryzias latipes). We observed specific, multisystemic, late-onset phenotypes, closely resembling the patient's syndrome, prominently in the facial skeleton and in neuronal tissue. Molecularly, we detected reduced levels of N-glycans in medaka and in the patient's fibroblasts. This hypo-N-glycosylation prominently affected protein abundance. Proteins of the basic glycosylation and glycoprotein-processing machinery were over-represented in a compensatory response, highlighting the regulatory topology of the network. Proteins of the retinal phototransduction machinery, conversely, were massively under-represented in the alg2 model. These deficiencies relate to a specific failure to maintain rod photoreceptors, resulting in retinitis pigmentosa characterized by the progressive loss of these photoreceptors. Our work has explored only the tip of the iceberg of N-glycosylation-sensitive proteins, the function of which specifically impacts on cells, tissues and organs. Taking advantage of the well-described human mutation has allowed the complex interplay of N-glycosylated proteins and their contribution to development and disease to be addressed.

RESUMEN

Glycoproteomics is a powerful yet analytically challenging research tool. Software packages aiding the interpretation of complex glycopeptide tandem mass spectra have appeared, but their relative performance remains untested. Conducted through the HUPO Human Glycoproteomics Initiative, this community study, comprising both developers and users of glycoproteomics software, evaluates solutions for system-wide glycopeptide analysis. The same mass spectrometrybased glycoproteomics datasets from human serum were shared with participants and the relative team performance for N- and O-glycopeptide data analysis was comprehensively established by orthogonal performance tests. Although the results were variable, several high-performance glycoproteomics informatics strategies were identified. Deep analysis of the data revealed key performance-associated search parameters and led to recommendations for improved 'high-coverage' and 'high-accuracy' glycoproteomics search solutions. This study concludes that diverse software packages for comprehensive glycopeptide data analysis exist, points to several high-performance search strategies and specifies key variables that will guide future software developments and assist informatics decision-making in glycoproteomics.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Pig-derived tissues could overcome the shortage of human donor organs in transplantation. However, the glycans with terminal α-Gal and Neu5Gc, which are synthesized by enzymes, encoded by the genes GGTA1 and CMAH, are known to play a major role in immunogenicity of porcine tissue, ultimately leading to xenograft rejection. METHODS: The N-glycome and glycosphingolipidome of native and decellularized porcine pericardia from wildtype (WT), GGTA1-KO and GGTA1/CMAH-KO pigs were analyzed by multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis coupled to laser-induced fluorescence detection. RESULTS: We identified biantennary and core-fucosylated N-glycans terminating with immunogenic α-Gal- and α-Gal-/Neu5Gc-epitopes on pericardium of WT pigs that were absent in GGTA1 and GGTA1/CMAH-KO pigs, respectively. Levels of N-glycans terminating with galactose bound in ß(1-4)-linkage to N-acetylglucosamine and their derivatives elongated by Neu5Ac were increased in both KO groups. N-glycans capped with Neu5Gc were increased in GGTA1-KO pigs compared to WT, but were not detected in GGTA1/CMAH-KO pigs. Similarly, the ganglioside Neu5Gc-GM3 was found in WT and GGTA1-KO but not in GGTA1/CMAH-KO pigs. The applied detergent based decellularization efficiently removed GSL glycans. CONCLUSION: Genetic deletion of GGTA1 or GGTA1/CMAH removes specific epitopes providing a more human-like glycosylation pattern, but at the same time changes distribution and levels of other porcine glycans that are potentially immunogenic.

RESUMEN

Glycosylation, especially N-glycosylation, is one of the most common protein modifications, with immense importance at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level. Thus, accurate and reliable N-glycan analysis is essential in many areas of pharmaceutical and food industry, medicine, and science. However, due to the complexity of the cellular glycosylation process, in-depth glycoanalysis is still a highly challenging endeavor. Contamination of samples with oligosaccharide impurities (OSIs), typically linear glucose homo-oligomers, can cause further complications. Due to their physicochemical similarity to N-glycans, OSIs produce potentially overlapping signals, which can remain unnoticed. If recognized, suspected OSI signals are usually excluded in data evaluation. However, in both cases, interpretation of results can be impaired. Alternatively, sample preparation can be repeated to include an OSI removal step from samples. However, this significantly increases sample amount, time, and effort necessary. To overcome these issues, we investigated the option to enzymatically degrade and thereby remove interfering OSIs as a final sample preparation step. Therefore, we screened ten commercially available enzymes concerning their potential to efficiently degrade maltodextrins and dextrans as most frequently found OSIs. Of these enzymes, only dextranase from Chaetomium erraticum and glucoamylase P from Hormoconis resinae enabled a degradation of OSIs within only 30 min that is free of side reactions with N-glycans. Finally, we applied the straightforward enzymatic degradation of OSIs to N-glycan samples derived from different standard glycoproteins and various stem cell lysates.

RESUMEN

Defects in protein O-mannosylation lead to severe congenital muscular dystrophies collectively known as α-dystroglycanopathy. A hallmark of these diseases is the loss of the O-mannose-bound matriglycan on α-dystroglycan, which reduces cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in protein O-mannose ß1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (POMGNT1), which is crucial for the elongation of O-mannosyl glycans, have mainly been associated with muscle-eye-brain (MEB) disease. In addition to defects in cell-extracellular matrix adhesion, aberrant cell-cell adhesion has occasionally been observed in response to defects in POMGNT1. However, specific molecular consequences of POMGNT1 deficiency on cell-cell adhesion are largely unknown. We used POMGNT1 knockout HEK293T cells and fibroblasts from an MEB patient to gain deeper insight into the molecular changes in POMGNT1 deficiency. Biochemical and molecular biological techniques combined with proteomics, glycoproteomics, and glycomics revealed that a lack of POMGNT1 activity strengthens cell-cell adhesion. We demonstrate that the altered intrinsic adhesion properties are due to an increased abundance of N-cadherin (N-Cdh). In addition, site-specific changes in the N-glycan structures in the extracellular domain of N-Cdh were detected, which positively impact on homotypic interactions. Moreover, in POMGNT1-deficient cells, ERK1/2 and p38 signaling pathways are activated and transcriptional changes that are comparable with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are triggered, defining a possible molecular mechanism underlying the observed phenotype. Our study indicates that changes in cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion and other EMT-related processes may contribute to the complex clinical symptoms of MEB or α-dystroglycanopathy in general and suggests that the impact of changes in O-mannosylation on N-glycosylation has been underestimated.

RESUMEN

The Minimum Information Required for a Glycomics Experiment (MIRAGE) is an initiative to standardize the reporting of glycoanalytical methods and to assess their reproducibility. To date, the MIRAGE Commission has published several reporting guidelines that describe what information should be provided for sample preparation methods, mass spectrometry methods, liquid chromatography analysis, exoglycosidase digestions, glycan microarray methods, and nuclear magnetic resonance methods. Here, we present the first version of reporting guidelines for glyco(proteo)mics analysis by capillary electrophoresis (CE) for standardized and high-quality reporting of experimental conditions in the scientific literature. The guidelines cover all aspects of a glyco(proteo)mics CE experiment including sample preparation, CE operation mode (CZE, CGE, CEC, MEKC, cIEF, cITP), instrument configuration, capillary separation conditions, detection, data analysis, and experimental descriptors. These guidelines are linked to other MIRAGE guidelines and are freely available through the project website https://www.beilstein-institut.de/en/projects/mirage/guidelines/#ce_analysis (doi:10.3762/mirage.7).

RESUMEN

Rare genetic mutations of the mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase (MOGS) gene affecting the function of the mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase (glucosidase I) are the cause of the congenital disorder of glycosylation IIb (CDG-IIb). Glucosidase I specifically removes the distal α1,2-linked glucose from the protein bound precursor N-glycan Glc3Man9GlcNAc2, which is the initial step of N-glycan maturation. Here, we comparatively analyzed N-glycosylation of the whole serum proteome, serum-derived immunoglobulin G (IgG), transferrin (TF), and α-1-antitrypsin (AAT) of a female patient who is compound heterozygous for 2 novel missense mutations in the MOGS gene, her heterozygous parents, and a sibling with wildtype genotype by multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis coupled to laser induced fluorescence detection (xCGE-LIF) at unprecedented depth. Thereby, we detected the CDG-IIb-characteristic non-de-glucosylated N-glycans Glc3Man7-9GlcNAc2 as well as the free tetrasaccharide Glc3-Man in whole serum of the patient but not in the other family members. The N-glycan analysis of the serum proteome further revealed that relative intensities of IgG-specific complex type di-antennary N-glycans with core-fucosylation were considerably reduced in the patient's serum whereas TF- and AAT-characteristic sialylated di- and tri-antennary N-glycans were increased. This finding reflected the hypogammaglobulinemia diagnosed in the patient. We further detected aberrant oligo-mannose (Glc3Man7GlcNAc2) and hybrid type N-glycans on patient-derived IgGs and we attributed this defective glycosylation to be the reason for an increased IgG clearance. This mechanism can explain the hypogammaglobulinemia that is associated with CDG-IIb.

RESUMEN

Mass spectrometry (MS) easily detects C-mannosylated peptides from purified proteins but not from complex biological samples. Enrichment of specific glycopeptides by lectin affinity prior to MS analysis has been widely applied to support glycopeptide identification but was until now not available for C-mannosylated peptides. Here, we used the α-mannose-specific Burkholderia cenocepacia lectin A (BC2L-A) and show that, in addition to its previously demonstrated high-mannose N-glycan binding capability, this lectin is able to retain C- and O-mannosylated peptides. Besides testing binding abilities to standard peptides, we applied BC2L-A affinity to enrich C-mannosylated peptides from complex samples of tryptic digests of HEK293 and MCF10A whole cell extracts, which led to the identification of novel C-mannosylation sites. In conclusion, BC2L-A enabled specific enrichment of C- and O-mannosylated peptides and might have superior properties over other mannose binding lectins for this purpose.

RESUMEN

Glycosylation is a topic of intense current interest in the development of biopharmaceuticals because it is related to drug safety and efficacy. This work describes results of an interlaboratory study on the glycosylation of the Primary Sample (PS) of NISTmAb, a monoclonal antibody reference material. Seventy-six laboratories from industry, university, research, government, and hospital sectors in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia submitted a total of 103 reports on glycan distributions. The principal objective of this study was to report and compare results for the full range of analytical methods presently used in the glycosylation analysis of mAbs. Therefore, participation was unrestricted, with laboratories choosing their own measurement techniques. Protein glycosylation was determined in various ways, including at the level of intact mAb, protein fragments, glycopeptides, or released glycans, using a wide variety of methods for derivatization, separation, identification, and quantification. Consequently, the diversity of results was enormous, with the number of glycan compositions identified by each laboratory ranging from 4 to 48. In total, one hundred sixteen glycan compositions were reported, of which 57 compositions could be assigned consensus abundance values. These consensus medians provide community-derived values for NISTmAb PS. Agreement with the consensus medians did not depend on the specific method or laboratory type. The study provides a view of the current state-of-the-art for biologic glycosylation measurement and suggests a clear need for harmonization of glycosylation analysis methods.

RESUMEN

The association of immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation changes with various human diseases and physiological conditions is well established. Since the mechanistical explanation of the regulation of IgG glycosylation and its functional role in these various states is still missing, the eyes of the biomedical community are now turned towards animal models, which enable intervention studies necessary for conclusions on causality. Mice are recognized and used as a good experimental model for human IgG glycosylation. However, smaller blood volumes, low IgG concentrations at young ages (which are most often used in mice experiments) and multiple sampling protocols during the course of longitudinal studies would profit from a robust workflow for mouse IgG glycome analysis from minute amounts of starting material, collected through a simple sampling procedure. For this purpose, we have developed a protocol for analysis of total N-glycans of IgG isolated from mouse dried blood spots (DBS), which we report here. We show that mouse DBS are a good source of material for IgG N-glycan analysis by multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence (xCGE-LIF).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Sulfate modification of N-glycans is important for several biological functions such as clearance of pituitary hormones or immunoregulation. Yet, the prevalence of this N-glycan modification and its functions remain largely unexplored. Characterization of N-glycans bearing sulfate modifications is hampered in part by a lack of enzymes that enable site-specific detection of N-glycan sulfation. In this study, we used functional metagenomic screening to identify enzymes that act upon sulfated N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Using multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (xCGE-LIF) -based glycoanalysis we proved their ability to act upon GlcNAc-6-SO4 on N-glycans. RESULTS: Our screen identified a sugar-specific sulfatase that specifically removes sulfate from GlcNAc-6-SO4 when it is in a terminal position on an N-glycan. Additionally, in the absence of calcium, this sulfatase binds to the sulfated glycan but does not remove the sulfate group, suggesting it could be used for selective isolation of sulfated N-glycans. Further, we describe isolation of a sulfate-dependent hexosaminidase that removes intact GlcNAc-6-SO4 (but not asulfated GlcNAc) from a terminal position on N-glycans. Finally, the use of these enzymes to detect the presence of sulfated N-glycans by xCGE-LIF is demonstrated. CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates the feasibility of using functional metagenomic screening combined with glycoanalytics to discover enzymes that act upon chemical modifications of glycans. The discovered enzymes represent new specificities that can help resolve the presence of GlcNAc-6-SO4 in N-glycan structural analyses.

RESUMEN

Adaptations of animal cells to growth in suspension culture concern in particular viral vaccine production, where very specific aspects of virus-host cell interaction need to be taken into account to achieve high cell specific yields and overall process productivity. So far, the complexity of alterations on the metabolism, enzyme, and proteome level required for adaptation is only poorly understood. In this study, for the first time, we combined several complex analytical approaches with the aim to track cellular changes on different levels and to unravel interconnections and correlations. Therefore, a Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) suspension cell line, adapted earlier to growth in suspension, was cultivated in a 1-L bioreactor. Cell concentrations and cell volumes, extracellular metabolite concentrations, and intracellular enzyme activities were determined. The experimental data set was used as the input for a segregated growth model that was already applied to describe the growth dynamics of the parental adherent cell line. In addition, the cellular proteome was analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry using a label-free protein quantification method to unravel altered cellular processes for the suspension and the adherent cell line. Four regulatory mechanisms were identified as a response of the adaptation of adherent MDCK cells to growth in suspension. These regulatory mechanisms were linked to the proteins caveolin, cadherin-1, and pirin. Combining cell, metabolite, enzyme, and protein measurements with mathematical modeling generated a more holistic view on cellular processes involved in the adaptation of an adherent cell line to suspension growth. KEY POINTS: • Less and more efficient glucose utilization for suspension cell growth • Concerted alteration of metabolic enzyme activity and protein expression • Protein candidates to interfere glycolytic activity in MDCK cells.

RESUMEN

N-Glycosylation is a fundamentally important protein modification with a major impact on glycoprotein characteristics such as serum half-life and receptor interaction. More than half of the proteins in human serum are glycosylated, and the relative abundances of protein glycoforms often reflect alterations in health and disease. Several analytical methods are currently capable of analyzing the total serum N-glycosylation in a high-throughput manner.Here we evaluate and compare the performance of three high-throughput released N-glycome analysis methods. Included were hydrophilic-interaction ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HILIC-UHPLC-FLD) with 2-aminobenzamide labeling of the glycans, multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (xCGE-LIF) with 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid labeling, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) with linkage-specific sialic acid esterification. All methods assessed the same panel of serum samples, which were obtained at multiple time points during the pregnancies and postpartum periods of healthy women and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We compared the analytical methods on their technical performance as well as on their ability to describe serum protein N-glycosylation changes throughout pregnancy, with RA, and with RA disease activity.Overall, the methods proved to be similar in their detection and relative quantification of serum protein N-glycosylation. However, the non-MS methods showed superior repeatability over MALDI-TOF-MS and allowed the best structural separation of low-complexity N-glycans. MALDI-TOF-MS achieved the highest throughput and provided compositional information on higher-complexity N-glycans. Consequentially, MALDI-TOF-MS could establish the linkage-specific sialylation differences within pregnancy and RA, whereas HILIC-UHPLC-FLD and xCGE-LIF demonstrated differences in α1,3- and α1,6-branch galactosylation. While the combination of methods proved to be the most beneficial for the analysis of total serum protein N-glycosylation, informed method choices can be made for the glycosylation analysis of single proteins or samples of varying complexity.

RESUMEN

Different manufacturing processes and storage conditions of biotherapeutics can lead to a significant variability in drug products arising from chemical and enzymatic post-translational modifications (PTMs), resulting in the co-existence of a plethora of proteoforms with different physicochemical properties. To unravel the heterogeneity of these proteoforms, novel approaches employing strong cation-exchange (SCX) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) hyphenated to mass spectrometry (MS) using a pH gradient of volatile salts have been developed in recent years. Here, we apply an established SCX-HPLC-MS method to characterize and compare two rituximab-based biotherapeutics, the originator MabThera® and its Indian copy product Reditux™. The study assessed molecular differences between the two drug products in terms of C-terminal lysine variants, glycosylation patterns, and other basic and acidic variants. Overall, MabThera® and Reditux™ displayed differences at the molecular level. MabThera® showed a higher degree of galactosylated and sialylated glycoforms, while Reditux™ showed increased levels of oligomannose and afucosylated glycoforms. Moreover, the two drug products showed differences in terms of basic variants such as C-terminal lysine and N-terminal truncation, present in Reditux™ but not in MabThera®. This study demonstrates the capability of this fast SCX-HPLC-MS approach to compare different drug products and simultaneously assess some of their quality attributes.

RESUMEN

Protein glycosylation impacts the development and function of innate immune cells. The glycophenotypes and the glycan remodelling associated with the maturation of macrophages from monocytic precursor populations remain incompletely described. Herein, label-free porous graphitised carbon-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (PGC-LC-MS/MS) was employed to profile with high resolution the N- and O-glycome associated with human monocyte-to-macrophage transition. Primary blood-derived CD14+ monocytes were differentiated ex vivo in the absence of strong anti- and proinflammatory stimuli using a conventional 7-day granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor differentiation protocol with longitudinal sampling. Morphology and protein expression monitored by light microscopy and proteomics validated the maturation process. Glycomics demonstrated that monocytes and macrophages display similar N-glycome profiles, comprising predominantly paucimannosidic (Man1-3GlcNAc2Fuc0-1, 22.1-30.8%), oligomannosidic (Man5-9GlcNAc2, 29.8-35.7%) and α2,3/6-sialylated complex-type N-glycans with variable core fucosylation (27.6-39.1%). Glycopeptide analysis validated conjugation of these glycans to human proteins, while quantitative proteomics monitored the glycoenzyme expression levels during macrophage differentiation. Significant interperson glycome variations were observed suggesting a considerable physiology-dependent or heritable heterogeneity of CD14+ monocytes. Only few N-glycome changes correlated with the monocyte-to-macrophage transition across donors including decreased core fucosylation and reduced expression of mannose-terminating (paucimannosidic-/oligomannosidic-type) N-glycans in macrophages, while lectin flow cytometry indicated that more dramatic cell surface glycan remodelling occurs during maturation. The less heterogeneous core 1-rich O-glycome showed a minor decrease in core 2-type O-glycosylation but otherwise remained unchanged with macrophage maturation. This high-resolution glycome map underpinning normal monocyte-to-macrophage transition, the most detailed to date, aids our understanding of the molecular makeup pertaining to two vital innate immune cell types and forms an important reference for future glycoimmunological studies.

RESUMEN

Exosialidases are glycoside hydrolases that remove a single terminal sialic acid residue from oligosaccharides. They are widely distributed in biology, having been found in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and certain viruses. Most characterized prokaryotic sialidases are from organisms that are pathogenic or commensal with mammals. However, in this study, we used functional metagenomic screening to seek microbial sialidases encoded by environmental DNA isolated from an extreme ecological niche, a thermal spring. Using recombinant expression of potential exosialidase candidates and a fluorogenic sialidase substrate, we discovered an exosialidase having no homology to known sialidases. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this protein is a member of a small family of bacterial proteins of previously unknown function. Proton NMR revealed that this enzyme functions via an inverting catalytic mechanism, a biochemical property that is distinct from those of known exosialidases. This unique inverting exosialidase defines a new CAZy glycoside hydrolase family we have designated GH156.

RESUMEN

The Minimum Information Required for a Glycomics Experiment (MIRAGE) is an initiative created by experts in the fields of glycobiology, glycoanalytics and glycoinformatics to design guidelines that improve the reporting and reproducibility of glycoanalytical methods. Previously, the MIRAGE Commission has published guidelines for describing sample preparation methods and the reporting of glycan array and mass spectrometry techniques and data collections. Here, we present the first version of guidelines that aim to improve the quality of the reporting of liquid chromatography (LC) glycan data in the scientific literature. These guidelines cover all aspects of instrument setup and modality of data handling and manipulation and is cross-linked with other MIRAGE recommendations. The most recent version of the MIRAGE-LC guidelines is freely available at the MIRAGE project website doi:10.3762/mirage.4.
