The carbohydrate composition and oligosaccharide structure of three glycopeptides isolated from delipidated calf thymocyte plasma membranes following Pronase digestion have been determined. Five major glycopeptide fractions were separated using Bio-Gel P-6 gel filtration and diethylaminoethylcellulose chromatography. The structure of the oligosaccharide chains of three of these glycopeptides was determined by a combination of sequential degradation with glycosidases and methylation analysis. These oligosaccharide structures consist of complex, highly branched N-linked chains containing at their nonreducing termini the unusual sequence Gal(beta1 leads to 3)Gal(beta1 leads to 4)GlcNAc leads to as well as the more usual sequence SA(alpha2 leads to 3)Gal(beta1 leads to 4)GlcNAc leads to. In addition, one glycopeptide also contains short O-linked chains with the structure Gal(beta leads to 3)GalNAc leads to Ser(Thr) which have receptor activity for the lectin from the mushroom Agaricus bisporus.  相似文献

The structure of a mannose-rich glycopeptide from a human pathological IgM has been investigated. It belongs to the group I (simple) glycopeptides and contains only mannose and N-acetylglucosamine residues in a molar ratio of 10:2. The structures of its oligosaccharide moiety and peptide chain have been determined: its molecular localization is specified and the relation between its biosynthesis and the oligosaccharide structure determine is discussed. Based on the alpha- and beta-mannosidase digestions and permethylation studies for the oligosaccharide moiety, and on the results obtained after sequential analysis of the peptide chain, the following structure is proposed for the mannose-rich IgM Du glycopeptide: (Formula: see text). The recovery of one molecule of this glycopeptide per molecule of heavy chain and the determination of the amino acid sequence have led us to locate this glycopeptide on asparagine 402 of the Fc portion of the heavy chain mu of IgM Du.  相似文献

Over 99% of thyroxine (T4), the major form of thyroid hormone in plasma, is bound to the plasma glycoprotein thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). The carbohydrate composition of TBG (14.6% by weight) consists of mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acetylneuraminic acid in the molar ratios of 11:9:16:10 per mol of glycoprotein. No fucose or N-acetylgalactosamine were detected. Amino acid analyses were performed. Glycopeptides, prepared by exhaustive pronase treatment of the glycoprotein, were separated by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. All glycopeptides contained the four sugars present in the native glycoprotein. One-fourth of the glycopeptide fraction was resolved into a discrete component, glycopeptide I. The remaining glycopeptides were a mixture termed glycopeptides II and III. Glycopeptides II and III were resolved into two discrete carbohydrate units, termed oligosaccharides A and B, by alkaline-borohydride treatment and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. We propose that TBG contains four oligosaccharide chains as calculated from the molecular weights of the glycopeptides and from compositional data assuming 1 asparagine residue/glycopeptide. The carbohydrate structures of the glycopeptides and relative affinities of TBG, glycopeptides and oligosaccharides for hepatocyte plasma membrane binding are presented in the accompanying paper (Zinn, A.B., Marshall, J.S., and Carlson, D.M. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 6768-6773.  相似文献

The amino acid sequence of the glycopeptide obtained from bovine PASII/PMP22 protein in the PNS myelin was determined to be Gln-Asn-Cys-Ser-Thr, where the asparagine was glycosylated. To eliminate all the contaminated P(o) glycopeptides from the PASII/PMP22 glycopeptide preparation, we used a fluorescent probe, N-[2-(2-pyridylamino)ethyl]maleimide, which reacts with the cysteine of the PASII/PMP22 glycopeptides. The labeled PASII/PMP22 glycopeptides were isolated by HPLC and were digested further with glycopeptidase A. The resultant oligosaccharides were conjugated with 2-aminopyridine (PA) as a fluorescent tag. One major PA-oligosaccharide, OPPE1, was purified by HPLC. The structure of OPPE1 was elucidated by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and (1)H-NMR studies and comparing the derivatives of PA-OPPE1 and PA-oligosaccharides of gamma-globulin on HPLC. The structure, SO(4)-3GlcAbeta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1+ ++-6(GlcNAcbeta1-4) (GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3)Manbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1- 4(Fucalpha1-6)GlcNAc- PA, was identical to the pyridylaminated form of the major oligosaccharide D8 of bovine P(o) previously reported.  相似文献

Methods are presented for separating the three IgM heavy chain sialoglycopeptides associated with asparagines 170, 332, and 395. The core glycopeptide units containing the disaccharide fucosyl-N-acetylglucosamine were obtained through the use of an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosamindase from Diplococcus pneumoniae, following exoglycosidase treatment of the sialoglycopeptides. In addition to the core glycopeptides, high yields of a tetrasaccharide, (Man)3GlcNAc, were obtained. The fucose in the core disaccharide is glycosidically linked to the 6-O position of the N-acetylglucosamine residue in Asn-GlcNAc. This core unit is resistant to glycosyl asparaginase, but becomes susceptible to hydrolysis on removal of the fucosyl residue by a purified hen oviduct alpha-L-fucosidase. The core sequence of the immunoglobulin M sialoglycopeptides appears to be similar to that of most other asparagine-linked oligosaccharides in consisting of a basic unit composed of beta-D-Man-(1 leads to 4)beta-D-GlcNAc(1 leads to 4)beta-D-GlcNAc(1 leads to 4), but with L fucose linked alpha-(1 leads to 6) to the proximal GlcNAc. The two nonreducing terminal ends of (Man)3GlcNAc are linked to beta-D-Man by alpha-(1 leads to 3) and alpha(1 leads to 6) bonds, respectively.  相似文献

Quantitative determination of the sulfated glycoproteins present in tissue and secretion fluid was performed. After digestion of the specimen with pronase in order to convert glycoproteins to glycopeptides, the sulfated glycopeptides were separated from a mixture of acidic glycans (glycosaminoglycans, sialoglycopeptides and sulfated glycopeptides) by two-dimensional electrophoresis on cellulose acetate membrane [(1986) J. Biochem. Biophys. Methods 12, 239-246]. After staining with alcian blue, the spot of sulfated glycopeptide on the cellulose acetate membrane was cut out, and then only the dye bound to the sulfated glycopeptide was extracted with a 5% cetylpyridinium chloride solution at 100 degrees C for 15 min. The extract was then measured by absorbance at 615 nm using an authentic sulfated glycopeptide as a standard. This method facilitated the determination of sulfated glycopeptides, which were separated from other acidic glycans, within the range 0-25 micrograms.  相似文献

A beta-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase that preferentially transferred N-acetylgalactosamine to Sd(a-) Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein was found in guinea-pig kidney microsomal preparations. This enzyme was kidney-specific and was able to transfer the sugar to other glycoproteins, such as fetuin and alpha 1-acidic glycoprotein. The presence of sialic acid in the acceptors was essential for the transferase activity when either glycoproteins or their Pronase glycopeptides were used as acceptors. Two glycopeptides (Tamm-Horsfall glycopeptides I and II) with a different carbohydrate composition were separated by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography from Pronase-digested Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein. The amount of N-acetylgalactosamine transferred to glycopeptides by the enzyme correlated with their degree of sialylation. Enzymic digestion of N-[14C]acetylgalactosamine-labelled Tamm-Horsfall glycopeptide II showed that the transferred sugar was susceptible to beta-N-hexosaminidase. The amount of sugar cleaved by beta-hexosaminidase was strongly increased when the labelled Tamm-Horsfall glycopeptide II was pretreated with mild acid hydrolysis, a procedure that removed the sialic acid residues. Alkaline borohydride treatment of the labelled Tamm-Horsfall glycopeptide II did not release radioactivity, thus indicating that enzymic glycosylation took place at the N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharide units of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein.  相似文献

We have carried out detailed structural studies of the glycopeptides of glycoprotein gD of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. We first examined and compared the number of N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides present in each glycoprotein. We found that treatment of either pgD-1 or pgD-2 with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H) generated three polypeptides which migrated more rapidly than pgD on gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Two of the faster-migrating polypeptides were labeled with [3H]mannose, suggesting that both pgD-1 and pgD-2 contained three N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. Second, we characterized the [3H]mannose-labeled tryptic peptides of pgD-1 and pgD-2. We found that both glycoproteins contained three tryptic glycopeptides, termed glycopeptides 1, 2, and 3. Gel filtration studies indicated that the molecular weights of these three peptides were approximately 10,000, 3,900, and 1,800, respectively, for both pgD-1 and pgD-2. Three methods were employed to determine the size of the attached oligosaccharides. First, the [3H]mannose-labeled glycopeptides were treated with Endo H, and the released oligosaccharide was chromatographed on Bio-Gel P6. The size of this molecule was estimated to be approximately 1,200 daltons. Second, Endo H treatment of [35S]methionine-labeled glycopeptide 2 reduced the molecular size of this peptide from approximately 3,900 to approximately 2,400 daltons. Third, glycopeptide 2 isolated from the gD-like molecule formed in the presence of tunicamycin was approximately 2,200 daltons. From these experiments, the size of each N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharide was estimated to be approximately 1,400 to 1,600 daltons. Our experiments indicated that glycopeptides 2 and 3 each contained one N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharide chain. Although glycopeptide 1 was large enough to accommodate more than one oligosaccharide chain, the experiments with Endo H treatment of the glycoprotein indicated that there were only three N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides present in pgD-1 and pgD-2. Further studies of the tryptic glycopeptides by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography indicated that all of the glycopeptides were hydrophobic in nature. In the case of glycopeptide 2, we observed that when the carbohydrate was not present, the hydrophobicity of the peptide increased. The properties of the tryptic glycopeptides of pgD-1 were compared with the properties predicted from the deduced amino acid sequence of gD-1. The size and amino acid composition compared favorably for glycopeptides 1 and 2. Glycopeptide 3 appeared to be somewhat smaller than would be predicted from the deduced sequence of gD-1. It appears that all three potential glycosylation sites predicted by the amino acid sequence are utilized in gD-1 and that a similar number of glycosylation sites are present in gD-2.  相似文献

Mannose-rich glycopeptides derived from brain glycoproteins were obtained by proteolysis of bovine brain tissue or subcellular fractions derived from rat brain tissue. The dialyzable mannose-rich glycopeptides were isolated by colum electrophoresis and gel flitration. These glycopeptides contained, on the average, six mannose and two N-acetylglucosamine residues with variable amounts of fucose and galactose. Over 50% of the mannose-rich glycopeptides of rat brain were localized in the microsomal and synaptosomal fractions; myelin and the soluble fraction contained lesser amounts. None was recovered from the mitochondria. The amount, per mg protein, of mannose-rich oligosaccharide chains in the myelin exceeded the concentration found in the microsomal and synaptosomal fractions. The concentration of mannose-rich glycopeptides derived from glycoproteins was 50% higher in white matter than in gray. On the other hand, the non-dialyzable and acidic sialoglycopeptides showed a three-fold enrichment in gray matter compared to white. The relatively lower ratio of sialoglycopeptides to mannose-rich glycopeptides observed in white matter (2.5) compared to gray matter (6.9) is reflected in the lower value for the ratio in myelin (1.1) compared to synpatosomes (2.1). Although glycoproteins that contain mannose-rich oligosaccharide chains are present in the nerve cell and its terminals, these glycoproteins appear to be relatively enriched in myelin and/or glial membranes.  相似文献

Four glycopeptides (I, IIA, IIB, III) with different oligosaccharide structures were isolated from purified mouse thymocyte Thy-1 glycoprotein. The glycoprotein was digested with Pronase, and the glycopeptide fraction was isolated by gel filtration and acetylated with [3H]acetic anhydride. The different glycan structures were separated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B and lentil lectin-Sepharose 4B. Size determinations of intact and exoglycosidase- and endoglycosidase-digested glycopeptides were performed by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-6, calibrated with glycopeptides of known structure. On the basis of these experiments and on the behaviour of the glycopeptides on the lectin columns, the following structures of the oligosaccharide chains were proposed: I, triantennary 'complex-type' with terminal fucose; IIA, biantennary 'complex-type' without fucose; IIB, biantennary 'complex-type' with fucose; III, a mixture of 'high-mannose' chains containing either five or six mannose residues (approx. 50% of each). Amino acid analysis of the glycopeptides showed that the predominant oligosaccharide at glycosylation-site Asn-23 was of 'high-mannose' type, whereas the other two sites (Asn-75 and Asn-99) were glycosylated with 'complex-type' chains. Both these sites were shown to be variably glycosylated. The major glycans linked to Asn-75 were of structures I and IIB, whereas all three 'complex-type' chains were represented at Asn-99. The results presented explain the previously reported carbohydrate heterogeneity of thymocyte Thy-1 glycoprotein.  相似文献

Quiescent thymocytes, mitogen-stimulated thymocytes and acute-leukaemic lymphoblasts provide a model for the study of protein glycosylation in quiescent cells, mitotically active non-malignant and malignant cells respectively. The biosynthesis of both complex and high-mannose-type oligosaccharides was monitored by metabolic labelling with [6-3]fucose and [2-3H]mannose. Bio-Gel P6 elution profiles of [6-3H]fucose-labelled glycopeptides showed that quiescent thymocytes and stimulated thymocytes synthesized qualitatively and quantitatively similar glycopeptides; however, higher-molecular-weight glycopeptides were synthesized by the acute-leukaemic lymphoblasts. The amount of [2(-3)H]mannose incorporated into glycopeptide by quiescent thymocytes was less than 10% of that incorporated by stimulated thymocytes. The Bio-Gel P6 elution profile of [2(-3)H]mannose-labelled glycopeptides from acute leukaemic lymphoblasts was qualitatively similar to that of stimulated thymocytes, with about 40% of the radioactivity incorporated into one glycopeptide peak. This glycopeptide was characterized by Bio-Gel P6 and concanavalin A affinity chromatography, radioactive-sugar analysis, sensitivity to alpha-mannosidase and endoglycosidase H and resistance to beta-glucosaminidase as containing a high-mannose oligosaccharide, possible of Man7-8GlcNAc2 structure. Pulse/chase experiments indicated that this high-mannose oligosaccharide was an end product and not a biosynthetic intermediate. It is concluded that higher-molecular-weight fucose-labelled glycopeptides are characteristic of the malignant cell type, and the synthesis of high-mannose oligosaccharide, Man7-8GlcNAc2, in stimulated thymocytes and acute-leukaemic lymphoblasts is associated with mitotically active cells.  相似文献

An enzyme preparation from almond emulsin cleaved the peptide-carbohydrate linkage of stem bromelain glycopeptide, Asn-Asn (oligosaccharide)-Glu-Ser-Ser. The resulting products were determined to be an intact peptide, Asn-Asp-Glu-Ser-Ser, and an intact oligosaccharide unit with two moles of N-acetylglucosamine. So far as tested the enzyme hydrolyzed glycopeptides with 3 to 10 amino acids, while both asparagine-oligosaccharide from ovalbumin and Asn-GlcNAc were not. Thus, the enzyme is a new amidase capable of hydrolyzing aspartylglycosylamine linkage in glycopeptides with multiple amino acid residues.  相似文献

Cleavage of yeast invertase by alpha-chymotrypsin produced a number of small glycopeptides that were highly active as elicitors of ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in suspension-cultured tomato cells. Five of these elicitors were purified and their amino acid sequence determined. They all had sequences corresponding to known sequences of yeast invertase, and all contained an asparagine known to carry a N-linked small high mannose glycan. The most active glycopeptide elicitor induced ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase half-maximally at a concentration of 5-10 nM. Structure-activity relationships of the peptide part were analyzed by further cleavage of a defined glycopeptide elicitor with various proteolytic enzymes. Removal of the C-terminal phenylalanine enhanced the elicitor activity, whereas removal of N-terminal arginine impaired it. A glycopeptide with the peptide part trimmed to the dipeptide arginine-asparagine was still fully active as elicitor. Glycopeptides with identical amino acid sequences were further separated into fractions differing in the oligosaccharide side chain. A given peptide had high elicitor activity when carrying a glycan with 10-12 mannosyl residues (Man10-12GlcNAc2), a 3-fold lower activity when carrying Man9GlcNAc2 and a 100-fold lower activity when carrying Man8GlcNAc2. The oligosaccharides, released by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H from the pure glycopeptide elicitors, acted as suppressors of elicitor-induced ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. A series of such oligosaccharides in the size range of Man8-13GlcNAc was purified. The structure and composition of the purified oligosaccharides corresponded to the known small high mannose glycans of yeast invertase as verified by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 600 MHz. The highest suppressor activities were obtained with the oligosaccharides containing 10-12 mannosyl residues (Man10-12GlcNAc). The oligosaccharide Man8 GlcNAc was ineffective as a suppressor. Thus, the structural requirements for the free oligosaccharides to act as efficient suppressors were the same as for the oligosaccharide side chains of the glycopeptides for high elicitor activity. We propose that the glycan suppressors bind to the same recognition site as the glycopeptide elicitors without inducing a response.  相似文献

An alpha-galactosidase (alpha-D-galactoside galactohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.22]) was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of Aspergillus niger. The enzyme had an apparent molecular weight of 45,000 and was a glycoprotein. Radioactive enzyme was prepared by growing cells in [14C]fructose and this enzyme was used to prepare 14C-labeled glycopeptides. The glycopeptides emerged from Sephadex G-50 between stachyose and the glycopeptide from ovalbumin. Based on calibration of the column with various-sized dextran oligosaccharides, the glycopeptides appeared to have a molecular weight of 1,200 to 1,400. Analysis of the glycopeptide(s) indicated that it contained mannose and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in an approximate ratio of 3 or 4 to 1. Assuming that there are two GlcNAc residues in the oligosaccharide and based on the molecular weight of the glycopeptide, the oligosaccharide probably contains eight to nine sugar residues. Alks probably attached to the protein by a GlcNAc leads to asparagine linkage. The purified alpha-galactosidase was most active on raffinose (Km = 5 x 10--4 M, Vmax = 3 mumol/min per mg of protein), but also showed good activity on p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactoside ans somewhat less activity on stachyose and melibitol. The enzyme also hydrolyzed guar flour and locust bean gum, but did not attack the p-nitrophenyl glycosides of beta-galactose, alpha- or beta-glucose, or alpha- or beta-mannose.  相似文献

Energetically favored conformations of glycopeptide 1 were calculated using the newly developed force-field program, GEGOP (geometry of glycopeptides). The three-dimensional structure of glycopeptide 1, which is part of the Fc fragment of IgG1, has been calculated. 1 contains 27 amino acid residues from Pro291 to Lys317 and a biantennary decasaccharide N-linked to Asn297. The conformations of the peptide and the carbohydrate parts are shown to be mutually dependent. Single glycosyl residues of 1 exhibit interaction energies of up to -31.8 kJ/mol with the peptide portion. Generally, only a few of the glycosyl residues of the oligosaccharide moiety express significant interaction energies with the peptide part. No easy prediction is possible of glycosyl residues which exhibit favorable interaction energies. However, in all of the calculated structures, the glycosyl residues of the 1-6-linked branches show strong attractive forces for the peptide part. 1-6-glycosidically linked branches can adopt a larger number of conformations than other linkages due to their high flexibility which allows more favorable interactions with proteins. We developed the GEGOP program in order to be able to study the preferred conformations of large glycopeptides. The program is based on the GESA (geometry of saccharides) program and utilizes the HSEA (hard sphere exo anomeric) force field for the carbohydrate part and the ECEPP/2 (empirical conformation energy program for peptides) force field [Némethy, G., Pottle, M. S. & Scheraga, H. A. (1983) J. Phys. Chem. 87, 1883-1887] for the peptide part. The GEGOP program allows the simultaneous relaxation of all rotational degrees of freedom of these glycoconjugates during the energy optimization process. Thus, mutual interactions between glycosyl and amino acid residues can be studied in detail.  相似文献

The structures of the predominant high mannose oligosaccharides present in a human IgM myeloma protein (Patient Wa) have been determined. The IgM glycopeptides, produced by pronase digestion, were fractionated on DEAE-cellulonalysis shows that glycopeptide I contains Asn, Pro, Ala, Thr, and His and glycopeptide II contains Asn, Val, and Ser, which are the same amino acids found in the sequences around Asn 402 and Asn 563 respectively, to which high mannose oligosaccharides are attached in IgM (Patient Ou) (Putnman, F.W., Florent, G., Paul, C., Shinoda, T., and Shimizu, A. (1973) Science 182, 287-290). The high mannose glycopeptides in IgM (Wa) exhibit heterogeneity in the oligosaccharide portion. Structural analysis of the major oligosaccharides indicates that the simplest structure is: (see article of journal). The larger oligosaccharides present have additional mannose residues linked alpha 1 yields 2 to terminal mannose residues in the above structure. Glycopeptide I contains primarily Man5 and Man6 species, while glycopeptide II contains Man6 and Man8 species. The two Man6 oligosaccharides have different branching patterns.  相似文献

1. The incorporation of d-[1-(14)C]mannose, d-[2-(3)H]mannose and N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]-glucosamine into glycoproteins and lipid-linked intermediates of mammary explants obtained from lactating rabbits was studied. The amount of radioactivity incorporated into lipid-linked intermediates was very low compared with the incorporation into protein. Most of the radioactivity incorporated into the chloroform/methanol-soluble fraction was present as neutral lipid. Radioactivity from d-[2-(3)H]mannose was incorporated mainly into the fatty acid moiety, whereas radioactivity from d-[1-(14)C]mannose and N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine was present in the glycerol moiety of triacylglycerol. 2. The labelled lipid-linked intermediate that was soluble in chloroform/methanol/water (10:10:3, by vol.) was partially characterized and was found to exhibit properties characteristic of an oligosaccharide linked to lipid via a pyrophosphate bridge. It migrated largely as a single zone of radioactivity on t.l.c. and was eluted from a column of DEAE-cellulose acetate as a single peak by 50mm-ammonium acetate. 3. The oligosaccharide moiety was released from the lipid by mild acid hydrolysis. The size of the oligosaccharide was estimated by paper chromatography to be 10 or 11 monosaccharide units. 4. d-[1-(14)C]Mannose was incorporated largely into glycopeptides with molecular weights in the range 40000-80000, as determined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Label from N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine was incorporated into a glycopeptide with an electrophoretic mobility identical with that of rabbit casein (mol.wt. 32000) as well as into glycopeptides of higher molecular weight. 5. Approx. 50% of the total radioactivity in the protein labelled from N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine was present as galactosamine, a component of the carbohydrate portion of rabbit casein. No labelled galactosamine was present in the lipid-linked oligosaccharide labelled from N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine. It thus appears that the lipid-linked oligosaccharide is not involved in the glycosylation of casein.  相似文献

Twelve 14C-acetylated glycopeptides have been subjected to affinity chromatography on concanvalin A (Con A)--Sepharose at pH 7.5. The elution profiles could be classified into four distinct patterns. The first pattern showed no retardation of glycopeptide on the column and was elicited with a glycopeptide having three peripheral oligosaccharide chains: (abstract:see text). Such glycopeptides have only a single mannose residue capable of interacting with Con A--Sepharose; an interacting mannose residue is either an alpha-linked nonreducing terminal residue or an alpha-linked 2-O-substituted residue. The second type of profile showed a retarded elution of glycopeptide with buffer lacking methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside (indicative of weak interaction with the column) and was given by glycopeptides with the structures: (abstract: see text) where R1 is either H or a sialyl residue. The third profile type showed tight binding of glycopeptide to Con A--Sepharose and elution as a sharp peak with 0.1 M methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside; glycopeptides giving this pattern had the structures: (abstract: see text) where R2 is either H, glcNAc, Gal-beta 1,4-GlcNAc, or sialyl-Gal-beta 1,4-GlcNAc. These glycopeptides all have two interacting mannose residues, the mimimum required for binding to the column; one of these mannose residues must, however, be a terminal residue to obtain tight binding and sharp elution. The fourth profile type showed tight binding of glycopeptide to the column but elution with 0.1 M methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside resulted in a broad peak indicating very tight binding; glycopeptides showing this behaviour had the structures: (abstract: see text) where R3 is either GlcNAc,Gal-beta 1,4-GlcNAc, or sialyl-Gal-beta 1,4-GlcNAc.Therefore it can be concluded that although a minimum of two interacting mannose residues is required for binding to Con A--Sepharose, the residues linked to these mannoses can either strengthen or weaken binding to the column.  相似文献

Processing of N-linked oligosaccharides in soybean cultured cells   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Evidence, based on both in vivo and in vitro studies with suspension-cultured soybean cells, is presented to demonstrate the processing of the oligosaccharide chain of plant N-linked glycoproteins. Following a 1-h incubation of soybean cells with [2-3H]mannose, the predominant glycopeptide obtained by pronase digestion of the membrane fraction was a Man7- or Man8GlcNAc2-Asn (GlcNAc, N-acetylglucosamine). However, the major oligosaccharide isolated from the lipid-linked oligosaccharides of these cells was a Glc2- or Glc3Man9GlcNAc2. Soybean cells were incubated with [2-3H]mannose and the incorporation of mannose into Pronase-released glycopeptides was followed during a 2-h chase. During the first 10 min of labeling, the radioactivity was mostly in a large-sized glycopeptide that appeared to be a Glc1Man9GlcNAc2-peptide. During the next 60 to 90 min of chase, this radioactivity was shifted to smaller and smaller-sized glycopeptides indicating that removal of sugars (i.e., processing) had occurred. Both glucosidase and mannosidase activity was detected in membrane preparations of soybean cells. Nine different glycopeptides were isolated from Pronase digests of soybean cell membrane fractions. These glycopeptides were purified by repeated gel filtration on columns of Bio-Gel P-4. Partial characterization of these glycopeptides by endoglucosaminidase H and alpha-mannosidase digestion, and by analysis of the products, suggested the following glycopeptides: Glc1Man9GlcNAc2-Asn, Man8GlcNAc2-Asn, Man7GlcNAc2-Asn, Man6GlcNAc2-Asn, and Man5GlcNAc2-Asn.  相似文献

The epitope for HNK-1 and patient's monoclonal autoantibodies in demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with immunoglobulin M gammopathy is borne by different types of N-linked oligosaccharide structures in human P0 and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG). Fourteen glycopeptide fractions bearing different oligosaccharide structures were obtained from either MAG or P0 glycopeptides by serial lectin affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose, Phaseolus vulgaris erythrophytohemagglutinin-agarose, Pisum sativum agglutinin-agarose, and Phaseolus vulgaris leucophytohemagglutinin-agarose. As shown by dot-TLC plate immunostaining, the same MAG and P0 glycopeptide fractions were recognized by HNK-1 and patient's immunoglobulin M, confirming that these antibodies display similar specificities. The antigenic carbohydrate was present in glycopeptide fractions that either interact with Pisum sativum agglutinin-agarose or were bound by Aleuria aurantia agglutinin-digoxigenin, indicating that these structures contained alpha(1-6)fucose residues. This study demonstrates that the L2/HNK-1 epitope is borne mainly or even exclusively by N-linked oligosaccharide structures alpha(1-6)fucosylated in the core.  相似文献
