Four neutal fraction glycosphingolipids, designated components 4-7, were purified from the pupae of Calliphora vicina and isolated by the use of high performance liquid chromatography. Their chemical structures were determined to be: GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer; GalNAc(alpha 1-4)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer and Gal(alpha 1-3)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer; Gal(beta 1-3)GalNAc(alpha 1-4)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer; and GlcNAC(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-3)GalNAc(alpha 1-4)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer. By the use of specific exoglycosidases, it was possible to assign anomeric configurations to all the sugar residues present. Analysis of the ceramide moiety by electron-impact mass spectrometry revealed the dominant fatty acid and sphingoid to be arachidic acid (C20:0) and tetradecasphing-4-enine, respectively.  相似文献

The binding properties of a strain of Propionibacterium granulosum derived from human skin was investigated with reference to glycosphingolipids separated on thin layer chromatograms or coated in microtiter wells using externally (125I) and metabolically [( 35S]methionine) labeled bacteria. Binding was found to lactosylceramide (LacCer; Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-Cer) but not to glycolipids lacking the lactose sequence (i.e. Glc beta 1-Cer, Gal beta 1-Cer or Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-Cer). In microtiter wells, binding occurred at 50 ng and became half-maximal at the theoretical value for a monomolecular layer of LacCer (i.e. 100-200 ng/well). The bacteria also bound to glycolipids with various substitutions (e.g. GalNAc beta 1-4, Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4, Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4, Gal alpha 1-3, GlcNAc beta 1-3, Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc beta 1-3, Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3, and Gal beta 1-3(Fuc alpha 1-4)GlcNAc beta 1-3) at the Gal of LacCer, although only those species with GalNAc beta 1-4 or Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4 were as active as LacCer itself. Glycolipids with other additions (e.g. Gal alpha 1-4 and NeuAc alpha 2-3) were negative. For unsubstituted LacCer, the binding required either a trihydroxy base or 2-hydroxy fatty acid, specifying the epithelial type of ceramide; LacCer composed of a dihydroxy base and nonhydroxy fatty acid was negative. This is interpreted as indicating that the proper presentation of the binding epitope depends on the ceramide structure. The relevance of this to biological membranes has not yet been established. Neither free lactose (up to 20 mg/ml) nor lactose-bovine serum albumin (5 mg/ml) prevented the binding of bacteria to LacCer, two facts that support the solid-phase binding data demonstrating a low affinity binding and the crucial importance of a particular lactose epitope.  相似文献

Bovine blood coagulation factor X contains both asparagine-linked and threonine-linked oligosaccharides. The asparagine-linked chain is a mixture of a tridecasaccharide NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc and a dodecasaccharide NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6 Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc and their partial desialylation products. The threonine-linked chain is a mixture of NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GalNAc, NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuGly alpha 2 leads to 6)GalNAc, NeuGly alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3 (NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GalNAc, and NeuGly alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuGly alpha 2 leads to 6)GalNAc, and their partial desialized forms. The carbohydrate moieties of the factor X subgroups, factors X1 and X2, are identical.  相似文献

Fetal calf liver microsomes were found to be capable of sialylating 14C-galactosylated ovine submaxillary asialomucin. The main oligosaccharide product chain could be obtained by beta-elimination under reductive conditions and was identified as NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAcol (where GalNAcol represents N-acetylgalactosaminitol) by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis and methylation. The branched trisaccharide Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)-GalNAcol and the disaccharide NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6GalNAcol were not formed. Very similar results were obtained when asialofetuin and antifreeze glycoprotein were used as an acceptor. When 3H-sialylated antifreeze glycoprotein ([3H]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc-protein) was incubated with fetal calf liver microsomes and CMP-[14C]NeuAc, a reduced tetrasaccharide could be isolated. The structure of this product chain appeared to be [3H]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3([14C]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GalNAcol, as established by means of HPLC analysis, specific enzymatic degradation with Newcastle disease virus neuraminidase, and periodate oxidation. These data indicate that fetal calf liver contains two sialyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of the O-linked bisialotetrasaccharide chain. The first enzyme is a beta-galactoside alpha 2 leads to 3 sialyltransferase which converts Gal beta 1 leads to 3 GalNAc chains to the substrate for the second enzyme, a (NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc-protein alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase. The latter enzyme does not sialylate GalNAc or Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc units but is capable of transferring sialic acid to C-6 of GalNAc in NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc trisaccharide side chains, thereby dictating a strictly ordered sequence of sialylation of the Gal beta 1 leads to 3 GalNAc units in fetal calf liver.  相似文献

A new blood group A-active glycolipid fraction, termed Ax, showing a chromatographic mobility between Aa and Ab was found in blood group A1 erythrocytes but not in A2 erythrocytes. Ax was identified by its conversion to "globo H" by alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase and by 1H-NMR spectroscopy as GalNAc alpha l----3[Fuc alpha l----2]Gal beta l----3GalNAc beta l----3Gal alpha l----4Gal beta l----4Glc beta l----lCer. Globo-H (Fuc alpha l----2Gal beta l----3GalNac beta l----3Gal alpha l----4Gal beta l----4Glc beta l----lCer) was found in blood group A, and O but not in A1 erythrocytes. Thus, one of the A1-specific determinants must be an A determinant carried by globo-series structure.  相似文献

With its simple glycotripeptide repeating structure the antifreeze glycoprotein of polar fish may be an especially simple conformational mode for mucin glycoproteins with similar but more complex structures. The fully assigned proton n.m.r. spectrum confirms the anomeric configurations of the hexapyranosidic sugars of the side chains and the coupling constants of the alpha GalNAc and the beta Gal residues show both to be in the expected 4C1 chair conformation. The assignment of a single resonance for each proton of the (Ala-Thr-Ala)n repeat unit coupled with the observation of long range nuclear Overhauser effects (n.O.e.) implies a three-fold repeating conformation. The resonances of the two alanines are distinct and can be assigned to their correct positions in the peptide sequence by n.O.e. observed at the amide proton resonances on saturation of the alpha proton signals. The amide proton coupling constants of all three peptide residues are similar and imply a limited range of peptide backbone torsion angles, phi CN. The large n.O.e. which has been observed between the amide proton and the alpha proton of the residue preceding it in the sequence implies large positive values for the peptide dihedral angle, psi CC. Limits are placed on possible values of side chain dihedral angles by the observation of the coupling constant between the alpha and beta protons of the threonyl residue. The observation of n.O.e. between the anomeric proton of GalNAc and the threonyl side chain protons gives information on the conformation of the alpha glycosidic linkage between the disaccharide and the peptide. n.O.e. observed between the protons of the beta glycosidic linkage indicates the conformation of the disaccharide and the large amide proton coupling constant of the GalNAc residue shows a trans proton relationship. The spectroscopically derived data have been combined with conformational energy calculations to give a conformational model for antifreeze glycoprotein in which the hydrophobic surfaces of the disaccharide side chains are wrapped closely against a three-fold left handed helical peptide backbone. The hydrophilic sides of the disaccharides are aligned so that they may bind to the ice crystal face, which is perpendicular to the fast growth axis inhibiting normal crystal growth.  相似文献

Two trisaccharides, and a pentasaccharide were obtained from bovine colostrum. Their chemical structures were determined by using methylation and 13C-NMR analyses as follows: GalNac alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, Gal alpha-1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, GaL beta 1-3[Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6]Gal beta 1-4Glc. GalNAc alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, which was identified in this study, is a novel oligosaccharide from natural sources. Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc and Gal beta 1-3[Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6]Gal beta 1-4Glc (lacto-N-novopentaose) have been already found in ovine colostrum, and in horse colostrum and marsupial milk, respectively.  相似文献

It was previously reported that monoclonal IgM from two patients with gammopathy and neuropathy showed similar specificity by reacting with the same group of unidentified minor components in the ganglioside fractions of human nervous tissues (Ilyas, A. A., Quarles, R. H., Dalakas, M. C., and Brady, R. O. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 82, 6697-6700). Enzymatic degradation, ion-exchange chromatography, and immunostaining of purified ganglioside standards on thin-layer chromatograms have now revealed that the antigenic glycolipids recognized by the IgM from these patients are gangliosides GalNAc beta 1-4Gal(3-2 alpha NeuAc)beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1Cer(GM2), GalNAc beta 1-4Gal(3-2 alpha NeuAc)beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1Cer (IV4GalNAcGM1b), and GalNAc beta 1-4Gal(3-2 alpha NeuAc)beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4 beta Gal(3-2 alpha NeuAc)beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1-Cer (IV4GalNAcGD1a). The monoclonal IgM appears to be reacting with the terminal [GalNAc beta 1-4Gal(3-2 alpha NeuAc)beta 1-] moiety shared by these three gangliosides and is a useful probe for detecting small amounts of GM2, IV4GalNAcGM1b, IV4GalNAcGD1a, and other gangliosides with the same terminal sugar configuration in tissues. Species distribution studies using the antibody revealed that GM2 is present in the brains and nerves of all species examined, while IV4GalNAcGM1b and IV4GalNAcGD1a exhibit some striking species specificity. GM2, but not IV4GalNAcGD1a, is enriched in purified myelin from human brain.  相似文献

Biosynthesis of the c-series gangliosides GT3, GT2 and GP1c was studied in Golgi derived from rat liver. Competition experiments show that the synthesis of ganglioside GT2 (GalNAc beta 1----4-(NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----3)Gal- beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer) from GT3 (NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----8-NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer) seems to be catalysed by the same N-acetylgalactosaminyl-transferase (GalNAc-T), which converts GM3 (NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer) to GM2 (GalNAc beta 1----4(NeuAc alpha 2----3)Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer). Similar competition experiments suggest moreover that the sialytransferase V (SAT V), which catalyses the synthesis of GT1a (NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3GalNAc beta 1----4- (NeuAc alpha 2----3)-Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer) from GD1a (NeuAc alpha-2----3Gal beta 1----3GalNAc beta 1----4(NeuAc alpha 2----3)Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1-Cer) appears to be identical to the enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of GP1c (NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3-GalNAc beta 1----4(NeuAc alpha 2----8-NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----3)Gal beta-1----4Glc beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer) from GQ1c (NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3Gal-NAc beta 1----4 (NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----8NeuAc alpha 2----3)Gal beta 1----4-Glc beta 1----1Cer).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Two novel acidic glycosphingolipids containing pyruvylated galactose were purified from the nervous tissue of Aplysia kurodai by successive Iatrobeads column chromatographies. By component analysis, sugar analysis, permethylation studies, fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, and proton magnetic resonance spectrometry, the structures of these acidic glycosphingolipids, named F-9 and FGL-I, were determined to be: [3,4-O-(S-1-carboxyethylidene)]Gal beta 1-->3 GalNAc alpha 1-->3[6'-O-(2-aminoethylphosphonyl)Gal alpha 1-->2] (2-aminoethylphosphoryl 1-->6)Gal beta 1-->4Glc beta 1-->1ceramide and [3,4-O-(S-1-carboxyethylidene)] Gal beta 1-->3GalNAc alpha 1-->3(Fuc alpha 1-->2)(2-aminoethylphosphonyl-->6 Gal beta 1-->4Glc beta 1-->1ceramide, octadeca-4-sphingenine and anteisononadeca-4-sphingenine. Thus, pyruvylated glycosphingolipids containing phosphoethanolamine in addition to or in place of 2-aminoethylphosphonate are present in the nervous system of Aplysia.  相似文献

Cold-insoluble globulin isolated from bovine plasma contains six asparagine-linked sugar chains in 1 molecule (a dimeric form). These sugar chains were released from the polypeptide backbone by hydrazinolysis and labeled by reduction with NaB[3H]4. Most of these sugar chains contain N-acetylneuraminic acid and can be separated by paper electrophoresis. By combination of sequential exoglycosidase digestion and methylation study, their structures were elucidated as Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6 or 4Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 4 or 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[NeuAc alpha 2 4Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]-Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 4Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 4Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc.  相似文献

The fully assigned 1H and 13C-NMR spectra of four group A oligosaccharides by use of multiple-relayed, coherence-transfer chemical-shift-correlated spectroscopy (multiple-RELAY-COSY) and 1H-/13C-correlation spectroscopy are reported. These analyses were performed on the following compounds: III-A; GalNAc alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal: VI-A; GalNAc alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal beta 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal: VII-A-1; GalNAc alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal beta 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-1Glycerol: VII-A-2; GalNAc alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal beta 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc.  相似文献

A lectin (Amaranthin) present in the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus has been isolated by fractionation on DEAE-cellulose followed by affinity chromatography on Synsorb-T beads (Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-R-Synsorb). The lectin appeared homogeneous by gel electrophoresis at pH 4.3 and gave a single protein band by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with Mr = 33,000-36,000. A native Mr = 54,000 was determined by gel filtration suggesting that amaranthin exists as a homodimer. Compositional analysis revealed high amounts of acidic and hydroxyamino acids and relatively large amounts of lysine, methionine, and tryptophan for a plant protein. Amaranthin formed a precipitate with asialo-bovine submaxillary mucin, asialo-ovine submaxillary, porcine submaxillary mucin, asialo-fetuin and asialoglycophorin. Hapten inhibition of precipitate formation between amaranthin and asialo-ovine submaxillary indicated that the T-disaccharide and its alpha-linked glycosides (Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-R; R = OH, methyl, -(CH2)8-COOCH3, allyl, o-nitrophenyl, or benzyl) were the best inhibitors. N-Acetylgalactosamine, the only monosaccharide which inhibited precipitation, was 350-fold less effective than Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-R. Hapten inhibition with derivatives of the T-disaccharide suggested that the C'-4 axial hydroxyl group of the galactosyl moiety, and the C-4 axial hydroxyl group, and the C-2 acetamido group of the GalNAc unit are the most important loci for lectin interaction. NeuAc alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-(CH2)8CO2CH3 was as potent an inhibitor as Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-(CH2)8CO2-CH3, and amaranthin was precipitated by NeuAc alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-BSA (where BSA is bovine serum albumin), indicating that the amaranthin-combining site tolerates substitutions at the C'-3 hydroxyl group. Amaranthin was precipitated by a Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-O-BSA glycoconjugate but not by the anomeric Gal beta 1,3GalNAc beta-O-BSA glycoconjugate illustrating that the disaccharide must be linked alpha in order to interact with the lectin. Metal ions do not appear to be required for lectin activity. A study of pH dependence showed significant precipitate formation between pH 4 to 9 with a maximum at pH 5. Hapten inhibition and glycoconjugate precipitation assays were also conducted for peanut (Arachis hypogaea) agglutinin. A comparison between the carbohydrate-binding specificities of amaranthin and peanut (Arachis hypogaea) agglutinin is discussed.  相似文献

Thermodynamic analysis of carbohydrate binding by Artocarpus integrifolia (jackfruit) agglutinin (jacalin) shows that, among monosaccharides, Me alpha GalNAc (methyl-alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine) is the strongest binding ligand. Despite its strong affinity for Me alpha GalNAc and Me alpha Gal, the lectin binds very poorly when Gal and GalNAc are in alpha-linkage with other sugars such as in A- and B-blood-group trisaccharides, Gal alpha 1-3Gal and Gal alpha 1-4Gal. These binding properties are explained by considering the thermodynamic parameters in conjunction with the minimum energy conformations of these sugars. It binds to Gal beta 1-3GalNAc alpha Me with 2800-fold stronger affinity over Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta Me. It does not bind to asialo-GM1 (monosialoganglioside) oligosaccharide. Moreover, it binds to Gal beta 1-3GalNAc alpha Ser, the authentic T (Thomsen-Friedenreich)-antigen, with about 2.5-fold greater affinity as compared with Gal beta 1-3GalNAc. Asialoglycophorin A was found to be about 169,333 times stronger an inhibitor than Gal beta 1-3GalNAc. The present study thus reveals the exquisite specificity of A. integrifolia lectin for the T-antigen. Appreciable binding of disaccharides Glc beta 1-3GalNAc and GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal and the very poor binding of beta-linked disaccharides, which instead of Gal and GalNAc contain other sugars at the reducing end, underscore the important contribution made by Gal and GalNAc at the reducing end for recognition by the lectin. The ligand-structure-dependent alterations of the c.d. spectrum in the tertiary structural region of the protein allows the placement of various sugar units in the combining region of the lectin. These studies suggest that the primary subsite (subsite A) can accommodate only Gal or GalNAc or alpha-linked Gal or GalNAc, whereas the secondary subsite (subsite B) can associate either with GalNAc beta Me or Gal beta Me. Considering these factors a likely arrangement for various disaccharides in the binding site of the lectin is proposed. Its exquisite specificity for the authentic T-antigen, Gal beta 1-3GalNAc alpha Ser, together with its virtual non-binding to A- and B-blood-group antigens, Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta Me and asialo-GM1 should make A. integrifolia lectin a valuable probe for monitoring the expression of T-antigen on cell surfaces.  相似文献

Oligosaccharide patterns obtained by gel filtration of the urine of GM1-gangliosidosis Type 1 patients are quite different from those of GM1-gangliosidosis Type 2. By studies of oligosaccharides in the four major peaks obtained from the Type 1 subgroup using sequential exoglycosidase digestion, methylation analysis, and periodate oxidation, the structures of 15 oligosaccharides: Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Man alpha 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc NAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6, and 3(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3 and 6)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, (formula see text) were elucidated. The amounts of total oligosaccharides excreted in the urine of the Type 2 subgroup were approximately one-tenth of those of Type 1. Moreover, the last eight oligosaccharides shown above, which have a Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to outer chain, were completely missing in the urine of Type 2.  相似文献

Binding of 4-methylumbelliferyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl) beta-D-galactopyranoside [MeUmb beta Gal(beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc] to peanut agglutinin was characterized by equilibrium dialysis and by measurement of the increase in ultraviolet absorption or fluorescence of the chromophoric glycoside upon continuous titration with excess of the lectin. All data in the 4-30 degrees C range correspond to delta G = -(26.5 +/- 0.1) kJ mol-1, delta H = -(58.4 +/- 2) kJ mol-1 and delta S = -(107 +/- 8)J mol-1 K-1. Values of the association constants are e.g. K = 2.5 X 10(5) M-1 at 4 degrees C and K = 4.5 X 10(4) M-1 at 25 degrees C. MeUmb beta Gal(beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc was used as an indicator ligand to determine K values for nonchromophoric carbohydrates by continuous displacement titrations, measuring either fluorescence or difference in absorption of the indicator. The data were analyzed in terms of the general expression for a non-ideal indicator system (as detailed in the appendix). Thus, the values of K are not underestimated. They are K = 4.8 X 10(3) M-1 for methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside [Me alpha Gal], 2.0 X 10(3) M-1 for methyl beta-D-galactopyranoside [Me beta Gal] and 4.7 X 10(3) M-1 for lactose [Gal(beta 1 leads to 4)Glc], all at 14.5 degrees C. The MeUmb difference absorption spectra resulting from binding of the lectin with MeUmb beta Gal(beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc and MeUmb beta Gal(beta 1 leads to 4)Glc are larger than for MeUmb beta Gal and MeUmb alpha Gal. These observations are consistent with the extended nature of the combining site of peanut agglutinin.  相似文献

A beta-D-galactoside alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase was purified 500-fold in 14% yield from 14-day embryonic chicken liver. Characterization of the product of the sialyltransferase catalysis was accomplished by separation and permethylation of double-labelled ([14C]NeuAc, [3H]Gal) oligosaccharides following their release from the glycoprotein fetuin by hydrazinolysis. The enzyme transfers NeuAc to Gal(beta 1 leads to 4)GlcNAc(beta 1 leads to)R-terminated oligosaccharides; no activity was found towards Gal(beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc(alpha 1 leads to)R structures. The trisaccharide. NeuAc(alpha 2 leads to 6)Gal(beta 1 leads to 4)Glc, was shown to be a good inhibitor of the sialyltransferase. Kinetic investigations of the enzyme indicate it to have a sequential, random bi-bi mechanism.  相似文献

Starting from a tumor-associated synthetic MUC1-derived peptide MUC1a' and using a completely enzymatic approach for the synthesis of the core-2 sialyl Lewis X glycopart, the following glycopeptide was synthesized: AHGV[Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc(alpha1-O)]TSAPDTR. First, polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 was used to site-specifically glycosylate MUC1a' to give MUC1a'-GalNAc. Then, in a one-pot reaction employing beta-galactosidase and core-2 beta6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase the core-2 O-glycan structure was prepared. The core-2 structure was then sequentially galactosylated, sialylated, and fucosylated by making use of beta4-galactosyltransferase 1, alpha3-sialyltransferase 3, and alpha3-fucosyltransferase 3, respectively, resulting in the sialyl Lewis X glycopeptide. The overall yield of the final compound was 23% (3.2 mg, 1.4 micromol). During the synthesis three intermediate glycopeptides containing O-linked GalNAc, Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc, and Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc, respectively, were isolated in mg quantities. All products were characterized by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy.  相似文献

Major neutral glycosphingolipids were isolated from human plasma and their structures and fatty acid compositions studied. The four neutral glycosphingolipids of plasma were characterized as Glc beta(1 leads to 1)ceramide, Gal beta(1 leads to 1)- ceramide, Gal beta(1 leads to 4) Glc beta (1 leads to 1)ceramide, Gal alpha(1 leads to 4) Gal beta(1 leads to 4) Glc beta(1 leads to 1)ceramide and GalNAc beta(1 leads to 3) Gal (1 leads to 4) Gal (1 leads to 4) Glc beta(1 leads to 1)-ceramide. The glycosphingolipids contained mostly short chain fatty acids of which most prominent was C16. Erythrocyte glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide exhibited similar fatty acid compositions as their plasma counterparts. Triglycosylceramide and globoside of erythrocytes contained almost exclusively long-chain fatty acids. In lactosylceramide obtained from "p" erythrocytes, an accumulation of long-chain fatty acids was found; this accumulation was not observed, however, in lactosylceramide isolated from "p" plasma. It was concluded that plasma and erythrocyte glycosphingolipids are synthesized at separate sites where short- and long-chain fatty acids, respectively, are available. Plasma and erythrocyte glucosylceramide, and probably a fraction of lactosylceramide, exchange between plasma and erythrocyte pools. The latter conclusion is discussed in the light of the relative roles of carbohydrate and lipid moieties of the glycosphingolipids in maintaining their association with erythrocyte membranes.  相似文献

Enzymatic alpha 2,3-sialylation of GalNAc has not been described previously, although some glycoconjugates containing alpha 2,3-sialylated GalNAc residues have been reported. In the present experiments, recombinant soluble alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase ST3Gal II efficiently sialylated the X(2) pentasaccharide GalNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, globo-N-tetraose GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc, and the disaccharide GalNAc beta 1-3Gal in vitro. The purified products were identified as Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc, and Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal, respectively, by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, enzymatic degradations, and one- and two-dimensional NMR-spectroscopy. In particular, the presence of the Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc linkage was firmly established in all three products by a long range correlation between Neu5Ac C2 and GalNAc H3 in heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectra. Collectively, the data describe the first successful sialyltransfer reactions to the 3-position of GalNAc in any acceptor. Previously, ST3Gal II has been shown to transfer to the Gal beta 1-3GalNAc determinant. Consequently, the present data show that the enzyme is multifunctional, and could be renamed ST3Gal(NAc) II. In contrast to ST3Gal II, ST3Gal III did not transfer to the X(2) pentasaccharide. The Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc linkage of sialyl X(2) was cleaved by sialidases from Arthrobacter ureafaciens and Clostridium perfringens, but resisted the action of sialidases from Newcastle disease virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Therefore, the latter two enzymes cannot be used to differentiate between Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc and Neu5Ac alpha 2-6GalNAc linkages, as has been assumed previously.  相似文献
