Conditions have been established for the rapid and efficient conjugation of reducing oligosaccharides (di- to deca-saccharides) to dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine. The resulting neoglycolipids derived from several naturally occurring oligosaccharides and a series of N-linked high-mannose-type oligosaccharides released by hydrazinolysis from RNAase B showed specific and potent reactivities, as appropriate, with monoclonal antibodies to blood group Lewis(b), blood group A or a stage-specific embryonic (SSEA-1) antigen, or the lectin concanavalin A. 相似文献

Novel approach to the study of the antigenicities and receptor functions of carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

This report describes the construction of neoglycolipids as a novel approach to determining the antigenicities and receptor functions of minute amounts of oligosaccharides derived from glycoproteins. Reduced oligosaccharides are converted into oligosaccharide alditols by controlled selective periodate oxidation and conjugated to phosphatidyl ethanolamine dipalmitoyl by reductive amination. The resulting neoglycolipids can be rendered multivalent by binding to polyvinylchloride or silica plates or they can be incorporated into liposomes and their antigenicities and receptor activities determined in low concentrations by direct binding or inhibition of binding assays. This approach, which has been successfully used with two monoclonal antibodies and a plant lectin, should be widely applicable to the direct analysis of O- and N-glycosidically linked carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins and proteoglycans both as antigens and recognition structures of diverse receptor systems. 相似文献

Lipovitellin II (Lv II), the major yolk protein of the anomuran crab Emerita asiatica, was purified using heparin-sepharose affinity column chromatography. The purified Lv II was a glycoprotein as it was stainable with periodic acid-Schiff's reagent. Quantitative analysis of sugars showed the presence of fucose, mannose, galactosamine, N-linked oligosaccharides, as well as O-linked oligosaccharides containing N-acetyl hexosamine as the terminal residue. The amount of N-linked oligosaccharides is higher than that of the O-linked oligosaccharides. Biogel P-4 column chromatographic separation of the radiolabeled oligosaccharides of Lv II showed the presence of five different O-linked oligosaccharides and four different N-linked oligosaccharide species. HPTLC separation of the neoglycolipids prepared from the O-linked oligosaccharides also showed the presence of five different O-linked oligosaccharide species. N-linked oligosaccharides contain significant quantities of mannose. Unisil column chromatographic purification in conjunction with HPTLC separation revealed three neutral glycolipid species such as monoglycosylceramide, diglycosylceramide, and triglycosylceramide in the Lv II. The functional significance of these carbohydrate components of the major yolk protein during embryogenesis of the sand crab is discussed. 相似文献

The O-linked oligosaccharides on mature forms of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) glycoproteins were characterized, and were found to account largely for the lower electrophoretic mobilities of these forms relative to the mobilities of immature forms. Other posttranslational modifications of HSV1 glycoproteins (designated gB, gC, gD and gE) were related temporally to the discrete shifts in electrophoretic mobilities that signal acquisition of the O-linked oligosaccharides. Fatty acid acylation (principally of gE) could be detected just prior to the shifts, whereas conversion of high-mannosetype N-linked oligosaccharides to the complex type occurred coincident with the shifts. The addition of O-linked oligosaccharides did not occur in cells treated with the ionophore monensin or in a ricinresistant cell line defective in the processing of N-linked oligosaccharides. We conclude that extension of O-linked oligosaccharide chains on HSV1 glycoproteins, and probably also attachment of the first O-linked sugars, occurs as a late posttranslational modification in the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

A robust method has been developed that allows analysis of both N- and O-linked oligosaccharides released from glycoproteins separated using 2D-PAGE and then electroblotted to PVDF membrane. This analysis provides efficient oligosaccharide profiling applicable to glycoproteomic analysis. The method involves the enzymatic release of N-linked oligosaccharides using PNGase F followed by the chemical release of O-linked oligosaccharides using reductive beta-elimination and analysis using LC-ESI-MS. Oligosaccharides from the major plasma glycoproteins with a pI between 4 and 7 were characterized from the glycoforms of haptoglobin, alpha2-HS-glycoprotein, serotransferrin, alpha1-antitrypsin, and alpha1-antichymotrypsin. It was shown that the separation of protein glycoforms evident in 2D-PAGE is partially due to the combined sialylation of the O-linked and N-linked oligosaccharides. Bi-, tri- and tetra-antennary N-linked structures, which had differing levels of sialylation and fucosylation, were found to be present on the glycoproteins analyzed, together with O-linked oligosaccharides such as mono-, and disialylated T-antigen and a disialylated core type 2 hexasaccharide. In addition, N-linked site-specific information was obtained by MALDI-MS analysis using tryptic digestion after PNGase F release of the oligosaccharides. 相似文献

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor inducibility is acquired immediately after translation and does not require glycosylation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Antibodies to phosphotyrosine were used in immunoprecipitation experiments to determine if post-translational modification of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor was required for the acquisition of ligand-induced tyrosine kinase activity. In intact Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts, only the fully processed 180-kDa receptor was activated (tyrosine-phosphorylated) by PDGF. In a cell-free assay, however, the tyrosine-phosphorylated forms of the 160- and 145-kDa PDGF receptor precursors were also detected. These activated precursors were immunoprecipitated after brief (5-15 min) metabolic labeling periods. Thus the receptor could bind PDGF and induce tyrosine kinase activity shortly after translation. Unlike the mature form of the receptor, the 160-kDa receptor precursor was resistant to digestion with endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase and thus did not contain O-linked oligosaccharides. Since this receptor precursor was activated by PDGF in the cell-free assay, the addition of O-linked sugars must not be necessary for ligand binding activity. Incubation of cells with tunicamycin completely inhibited N-linked glycosylation of the PDGF receptor. Nevertheless, PDGF still induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the 130-kDa aglycoreceptor in lysates of tunicamycin-treated cells. Thus, the addition of N-linked oligosaccharides was also not required for receptor activation. These findings show that the PDGF receptor acquired the ability to be activated by ligand cotranslationally or immediately after translation and that the addition of N- or O-linked oligosaccharides was not required for ligand binding and tyrosine kinase activities. 相似文献

Herpes simplex virus type-1 glycoprotein C (gC1) contains several O-linked oligosaccharides clustered near N-linked chains, and Pronase digestion produces glycopeptides carrying both oligosaccharide types. We have taken advantage of this fact to investigate the temporal relationship between the initiation of O-linked chains and the processing of N-linked oligosaccharides. gC1 was isolated from herpes-simplex-virus-infected BHK (baby-hamster kidney) cells after short labelling periods with [3H]glucosamine, and the labelled Pronase-cleaved glycopeptides fractionated on concanavalin A-Sepharose. N-[3H]Acetylgalactosamine, mostly convertible into free N-[3H]acetylgalactosaminitol on mild alkaline-borohydride treatment, was found in glycopeptides with an affinity to concanavalin A-Sepharose corresponding to that of glycopeptides carrying Man8GlcNAc2 or larger N-linked chains. Since there is evidence that the processing of N-linked chains up to Man8GlcNAc2 involves enzymes located in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, current results strongly suggest that gC1 acquires O-linked N-acetylgalactosamine before the glycoprotein routing to the Golgi apparatus. The addition of the second sugar to the nascent O-linked chain appeared to occur after a relatively long lag time. 相似文献

The aim of this work was the characterization of the glycoconjugates of the premeiotic spermatogenetic cells of the testis of an urodele amphibian, Pleurodeles waltl, by means of lectins in combination with several chemical and enzymatic procedures, in order to establish the distribution of N- and O-linked oligosaccharides in these cells. In the cytoplasm of the primordial germ cells, primary and secondary spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes, a granular structure can be observed close to the nucleus. These granules contain four types of sugar chains according to their appearance during the differentiation process: 1. some oligosaccharides that are identified in all the four cell types above mentioned, which include N-linked oligosaccharides with Fuc, Gal beta1,4GlcNAc and Neu5Ac alpha2,3Gal beta1,4GlcNAc and O-linked oligosaccharides with Gal beta1,4GlcNAc and Neu5Ac alpha2,3Gal beta1,4GlcNAc; 2. other glycan chains that are not present in the primary spermatocytes (N-linked oligosaccharides with DBA-positive GalNAc, GlcNAc, and a slight amount of Neu5Ac alpha2,6Gal/GalNAc and O-linked oligosaccharides with WGA-positive GlcNAc); 3. the sugar chains that are not in the earliest step of spermatogenesis (formed by both N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides with Glc); and 4. other that appear at the earliest and latest stages, but not in the intermediate ones, (N-linked oligosaccharides with Man and O-linked oligosaccharides with SBA- and HPA-positive GalNAc and PNA-positive Gal beta1,3GalNAc). This structure could be related with the Drosophila spectrosome and fusome, unusual cytoplasmic organelles implicated in cystic germ cell development. Data from the present work, as compared with those from mammals and other vertebrates, suggest that, although no dramatic changes in the glycosylation pattern are observed, some cell glycoconjugates are modified in a predetermined way during the early steps of the spermatogenetic differentiation process. 相似文献

A mouse monoclonal IgM antibody, directed against human blood group B determinant, was isolated from hybridoma culture growth medium. Chemical analysis indicated presence of N- and O-linked oligosaccharides. The N- and O-linked carbohydrate chains were liberated using two different conditions of reductive alkaline degradation. Structural analysis was carried out on the isolated chains using chemical analysis, 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry. The following composite structures of the N-linked chains were found: (formula; see text) where R = OH for biantennary structures and R = Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4 GlcNAc beta 1- or Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3[Neu5Ac alpha 2-6]GlcNAc beta 1- for triantennary structures. The O-linked oligosaccharides, found in the light chains, were shown to have the structure Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3GalNAc. The native IgM antibody could be separated on a concanavalin-A-Sepharose column into two subfractions, differing in the presence of a high-mannose-type oligosaccharide. 相似文献

Oligosaccharides obtained from glycoproteins by hydrazinolysis followed by N-acetylation were covalently coupled to an amino-bonded thin-layer plate or to a poly-L-lysine coating on the microtiter plate. Bound oligosaccharides can be directly detected by immunostaining or by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a mouse monoclonal antibody. These methods are simple and require small amounts of oligosaccharides and antibodies. The methods were successfully applied to determine the epitope of F48-60, a monoclonal antibody which reacts with the N-linked sugar chains of nonspecific cross-reacting antigen 2, but not with those of carcinoembryonic antigen. The results revealed that the antibody recognizes the Gal beta 1----3GlcNAc beta 1----group. 相似文献

This report describes the structural analyses of the O- and N-linked oligosaccharides contained in glycoproteins synthesized by 48-hr-old Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula. Schistosomula were prepared by mechanical transformation of cercariae and were then incubated in media containing either [2-3H] mannose, [6-3H]glucosamine, or [6-3H]galactose to metabolically radiolabel the oligosaccharide moieties of newly synthesized glycoproteins. Analysis by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography demonstrated that many glycoproteins were metabolically radiolabeled with the radioactive mannose and glucosamine precursors, whereas few glycoproteins were labeled by the radioactive galactose precursor. Glycopeptide were prepared from the radiolabeled glycoproteins by digestion with pronase and fractionated by chromatography on columns of concanavalin A-Sepharose and pea lectin-agarose. The structures of the oligosaccharide chains in the glycopeptides were analyzed by a variety of techniques. The major O-linked sugars were not bound by concanavalin A-Sepharose and consisted of simple O-linked monosaccharides that were terminal O-linked N-acetylgalactosamine, the minor type, and terminal O-linked N-acetylglucosamine, the major type. The N-linked oligosaccharides were found to consist of high mannose- and complex-type chains. The high mannose-type N-linked chains, which were bound with high affinity by concanavalin A-Sepharose, ranged in size from Man6GlcNAc2 to Man9GlcNAc2. The complex-type chains contained mannose, fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acetylgalactosamine. No sialic acid was present in any metabolically radiolabeled glycoproteins from schistosomula. 相似文献

Partial characterization of oligosaccharides expressed on midgut microvillar glycoproteins of the mosquito, Anopheles stephensi Liston 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Midguts of the malaria-transmitting mosquito, Anopheles stephensi, were homogenized and microvillar membranes prepared by calcium precipitation and differential centrifugation. Oligosaccharides present on the microvillar glycoproteins were identified by lectin blotting before and after in vitro and in situ treatments with endo- and exo-glycosidases. Twenty-eight glycoproteins expressed a structurally restricted range of terminal sugars and oligosaccharide linkages. Twenty-three glycoproteins expressed oligomannose and/or hybrid N-linked oligosaccharides, some with alpha1-6 linked fucose as a core residue. Complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides on eight glycoproteins all possessed terminal N-acetylglucosamine, and alpha- and beta-linked N-acetylgalactosamine. Eight glycoproteins expressed O-linked oligosaccharides all containing N-acetylgalactosamine with or without further substitutions of fucose and/or galactose. Galactosebeta1-3/4/6N-acetylglucosamine-, sialic acidalpha2-3/6galactose-, fucosealpha1-2galactose- and galactosealpha1-3galactose- were not detected. Terminal alpha-linked N-acetylgalactosamine residues on N-linked oligosaccharides are described for the first time in insects. The nature and function of these midgut glycoproteins have yet to be identified, but the oligosaccharide side chains are candidate receptors for ookinete binding and candidate targets for transmission blocking strategies. 相似文献

Thyrotropin (TSH) and the gonadotropins; follitropin (FSH), lutropin (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are a family of heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones. These hormones composed of two noncovalently linked subunits; a common alpha and a hormone specific beta subunits. Assembly of the subunits is vital to the function of these hormones. However, genetic fusion of the alpha and beta subunits of hFSH, hCG and hTSH resulted in active polypeptides. The glycoprotein hormone subunits contain one (TSH and LH) or two (alpha, FSHbeta and hCGbeta) asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharides. CGbeta subunit is distinguished among the beta subunits because of the presence of a carboxyl-terminal peptide (CTP) bearing four O-linked oligosaccharide chains. To examine the role of the oligosaccharide chains on the structure-function of glycoprotein hormones, chemical, enzymatic and site-directed mutagenesis were used. The results indicated that O-linked oligosaccharides play a minor role in receptor binding and signal transduction of the glycoprotein hormones. In contrast, the O-linked oligosaccharides are critical for in vivo half-life and bioactivity. Ligation of the CTP bearing four O-linked oligosaccharide sites to different proteins, resulted in enhancing the in vivo bioactivity and half-life of the proteins. The N-linked oligosaccharide chains have a minor role in receptor binding of glycoprotein hormones, but they are critical for bioactivity. Moreover, glycoprotein hormones lacking N-linked oligosaccharides behave as antagonists. In conclusion, the O-linked oligosaccharides are not important for in vitro bioactivity or receptor binding, but they play an important role in the in vivo bioactivity and half-life of the glycoprotein hormones. Addition of the O-linked oligosaccharide chains to the backbone of glycoprotein hormones could be an interesting strategy for designing long acting agonists of glycoprotein hormones. On the other hand, the N-linked oligosaccharides are not important for receptor binding, but they are critical for bioactivity of glycoprotein hormones. Deletion of the N-linked oligosaccharides resulted in the development of glycoprotein hormone antagonists. In the case of hTSH, development of an antagonist may offer a novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of thyrotoxicosis caused by Graves' disease and TSH secreting pituitary adenoma. 相似文献

Human heart galectin-1 (HHL) was separated by high pressure liquid chromatography from endogenous glycoproteins co-purified with it during affinity chromatography. These glycoproteins offered excellent ligands for HHL binding and were rich in T antigen (Galβ1 → 3 GalNAc-) of O-linked oligosaccharides. In enzyme linked lectin assay and hemagglutination inhibition assay, human IgA1, bovine fetuin and other O-glycosylated T antigen-bearing glycoproteins bound to the lectin efficiently in contrast to single N-acetyl lactosamine (LacNAc)-bearing N-linked oligosaccharides released from them and to IgG which is not O-glycosylated. HHL binding to IgA1 and fetuin was unaffected by removal of their N-linked oligosaccharides by -mannosidase. When immobilized, O-glycosylated serum proteins but not IgG could capture HHL from its solutions. Desialylated or polymeric IgA1 was better inhibitor than monomeric IgA1. The findings suggest a possible role for galectin-1 in anchoring of microbial and cancer cells known to be rich in T antigen, in high serum IgA1 turn over and in tissue sequestering of IgA1 immune complexes especially after their microbial desialylation in IgA nephropathy and other immune complex-mediated disorders. 相似文献

O-Linked oligosaccharides from N,O-glycoproteins were selectively split off by treatment with alkaline sodium borohydride in the presence of cadmium salt. The side reaction of reductive cleavage of N-glycosylamide and peptide bonds, observed under standard conditions of splitting of O-linked chains (M NaBH4 and 50mM NaOH, 16 h, 50 degrees), was inhibited by addition of 50-10 mM cadium acetate and 5-10mM EDTA.Na4, as shown by treatment of model compounds and several glycoproteins (ovomucoid, group-specific glycoproteins H and B, fetuin, and asialofetuin). This treatment, in combination with the previously developed procedure for the release of the N-linked oligosaccharide chains by lithium borohydride, allows a sequential, selective cleavage of O-, and then N-linked oligosaccharides from N,O-glycoproteins by chemical methods. 相似文献

Human transferrin receptor contains O-linked oligosaccharides 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have investigated the oligosaccharides in the human transferrin receptor from three different cell lines. During our studies on the structures of the N-linked oligosaccharides of the receptor, we discovered that the receptor contains O-linked oligosaccharides. This report describes the isolation and characterization of these O-linked oligosaccharides. Three different human cell lines--K562, A431, and BeWo--were grown in media containing either [2-3H] mannose or [6-3H]glucosamine. The newly synthesized and radiolabeled transferrin receptors were purified by immunoprecipitation from cell extracts and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The receptor was proteolytically digested or treated directly with mild base/borohydride. The released radiolabeled glycopeptides and oligosaccharides were separated by a variety of chromatographic techniques, and their structures were analyzed. The transferrin receptor from all three cell types contains O-linked oligosaccharides that are released from peptide by mild base/borohydride treatment. The receptor from K562 cells contains at least one O-linked oligosaccharide having two sialic acid residues and a core structure of the disaccharide galactose-N-acetyl-galactosamine. In contrast, the O-linked oligosaccharides in the transferring receptors from both A431 and BeWo cell lines are not as highly sialylated and were identified as both the neutral disaccharide galactose-N-acetylgalactosamine and the neutral monosaccharide N-acetylgalactosamine. In addition, the receptors from all three cell lines contain both complex-type and high mannose-type N-linked oligosaccharides. The complex-type chains in the receptor from A431 cells have properties of blood group A antigens, whereas oligosaccharides in receptors from both BeWo and K562 cells lack these properties. These results are interesting since both A431 and BeWo cells, but not K562 cells, are positive for blood group A antigens. Thus, our results demonstrate that the human transferrin receptor contains O-linked oligosaccharides and that there are differences in the structures of both the O-linked and complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides on the receptors synthesized by different cell types. 相似文献

Characterization of heparan sulfate proteoglycans synthesized by rat ovarian granulosa cells in culture 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Rat ovarian granulosa cells were isolated from immature female rats after stimulation with pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin and maintained in culture. Proteoglycans were labeled using [35S]sulfate, [3H]serine, [3H]glucosamine, or [3H]mannose as precursors. A species of heparan sulfate proteoglycan was purified using DEAE-Sephacel chromatography under dissociative conditions in the presence of detergent. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan, which constituted approximately 15% of the 35S-labeled proteoglycans in the culture medium has a similar hydrodynamic size (Kd = 0.62 on Sepharose CL-2B) and buoyant density distribution in CsCl density gradients as the low buoyant density dermatan sulfate proteoglycan synthesized by the same granulosa cells and described in the accompanying report (Yanagishita, M., and Hascall, V. C. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 12847-12856). The heparan sulfate chains (average Mr = 28,000) have an average of 0.8-0.9 sulfate groups/repeating disaccharide, of which 50% are N-sulfate, 30% are alkaline-labile O-sulfate (presumably on the 6-position of glucosamine residues), and 20% are alkaline-resistant O-sulfate groups. Alkaline borohydride treatment released both N-linked oligosaccharide-peptides containing mannose, glucosamine, and sialic acid, and O-linked oligosaccharides. Trypsin digestion of the proteoglycan generated fragments which contain (a) glycosaminoglycan-peptides with an average of 2 heparan sulfate chains/peptide; (b) clusters of O-linked oligosaccharides on peptides; and (c) N-linked oligosaccharide-peptides, which are as small as single N-linked oligosaccharides. The compositions of the O-linked and N-linked oligosaccharides and the trypsin fragments of this heparan sulfate proteoglycan were very similar to those of the low buoyant density dermatan sulfate proteoglycan synthesized by the same cells. 相似文献

Radioisotopically labeled proteoglycans were isolated from a 4 M guanidine HCl, 2% Triton X-100 extract of corneal stroma from day 18 chicken embryos by anion-exchange chromatography. Two predominant proteoglycans in the sample were separated by octyl-Sepharose chromatography using a gradient elution of detergent in 4 M guanidine HCl. One proteoglycan had an overall mass of approximately 125 kDa, a single dermatan sulfate chain (approximately 85-90% chondroitin 4-sulfate, low iduronate content) of approximately 65 kDa, and a core protein after chondroitinase ABC digestion of approximately 45 kDa which also contained one to three N-linked oligosaccharides and one O-linked oligosaccharide. The other proteoglycan had an overall size of approximately 100 kDa, two to three keratan sulfate chains of approximately 15 kDa each, and a core protein following keratanase digestion of approximately 51 kDa which included two to three N-linked but no O-linked oligosaccharides. A larger size, a greater overall hydrophobicity (as measured by its interaction with octyl-Sepharose) and an absence of O-linked oligosaccharides argue that this core protein is a distinct gene product from the core protein of the dermatan sulfate proteoglycan. 相似文献

The synthesis of the extensively O-glycosylated attachment protein, G, of human respiratory syncytial virus and its expression on the cell surface were examined in a mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line, ldlD, which has a defect in protein O glycosylation. These cells, used in conjunction with an inhibitor of N-linked oligosaccharide synthesis, can be used to establish conditions in which no carbohydrate addition occurs or in which either N-linked or O-linked carbohydrate addition occurs exclusively. A recombinant vaccinia virus expression vector for the G protein was constructed which, as well as containing the human respiratory syncytial virus G gene, contained a portion of the cowpox virus genome that circumvents the normal host range restriction of vaccinia virus in CHO cells. The recombinant vector expressed high levels of G protein in both mutant ldlD and wild-type CHO cells. Several immature forms of the G protein were identified that contained exclusively N-linked or O-linked oligosaccharide side chains. Metabolic pulse-chase studies indicated that the pathway of maturation for the G protein proceeds from synthesis of the 32-kilodalton (kDa) polypeptide accompanied by cotranslational attachment of high-mannose N-linked sugars to form an intermediate with an apparent mass of 45 kDa. This step is followed by the Golgi-associated conversion of the N-linked sugars to the complex type and the completion of the O-linked oligosaccharides to achieve the mature 90-kDa form of G. Maturation from the 45-kDa N-linked form to the mature 90-kDa form occurred only in the presence of O-linked sugar addition, confirming that O-linked oligosaccharides constitute a significant proportion of the mass of the mature G protein. In the absence of O glycosylation, forms of G bearing galactose-deficient truncated N-linked and fully mature N-linked oligosaccharides were observed. The effects of N- and O-linked sugar addition on the transport of G to the cell surface were measured. Indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry showed that G protein could be expressed on the cell surface in the absence of either O glycosylation or N glycosylation. However, cell surface expression of G lacking both N- and O-linked oligosaccharides was severely depressed. 相似文献

A problem of conformations of carbohydrate chains of glycoconjugates-glycoproteins and glycolipids--is reviewed. Experimental data (NMR, X-Ray) and theoretical conformational analysis data are discussed. Spatial structures of O-linked oligosaccharides from blood-group glycoproteins, N-linked oligosaccharides of different types (oligomannosidic, complex, hybrid, bisect) and carbohydrate chains of glycosphingolipids are considered. 相似文献
