The glycoprotein allergen Art v II, from the pollen of mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.) was treated with peptide:N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) to release asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. The oligosaccharides were isolated by gel permeation chromatography and their structures determined by 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy, fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography. The high-mannose oligosaccharides Man5GlcNAc2, Man6GlcNAc2, Man7GlcNAc2, Man8GlcNAc2, and Man9GlcNAc2 were present in the ratios 2:49:19:24:6 and accounted for all the asparagine-linked oligosaccharides released from Art v II by PNGase F. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of Art v II and of four peptides generated by cyanogen bromide (CNBr) cleavage of deglycosylated Art v II were determined. The first 30 amino acid residues of Art v II did not contain any potential N-glycosylation sites. One potential N-glycosylation site was identified in one of the CNBr fragments. The native protein conformation was shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay inhibition assays to be essential for the binding of rabbit IgG to Art v II and for the binding of human IgE to the major IgE-binding epitope(s) in this allergen. At least one minor IgE-binding epitope still bound IgE after denaturation of the allergen. Removal of the high-mannose chains from denatured Art v II had no significant effect on the binding of human IgE to the minor IgE-binding epitope(s).  相似文献

Recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), produced by expression in Chinese hamster ovary cells, is a fibrin-specific plasminogen activator which has been approved for clinical use in the treatment of myocardial infarction. In this study, the structures of the Asn-linked oligosaccharides of Chinese hamster ovary-expressed rt-PA have been elucidated. High mannose and hybrid oligosaccharides were released from the protein by endoglycosidase H digestion, whereas N-acetyllactosamine-type ("complex") oligosaccharides were released by peptide:N-glycosidase F digestion. The oligosaccharides were fractionated by gel permeation chromatography and anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their structures were analyzed by composition and methylation analysis, high pH anion exchange chromatography, fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry (FAB-MS), and 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy. High mannose oligosaccharides were found to account for 38% of the total carbohydrate content of rt-PA and consisted of Man5GlcNAc2, Man6GlcNAc2, and Man7GlcNAc2 in the ratio 1.8:1.7:1. Two hybrid oligosaccharides were identified and accounted for 3% of the carbohydrate of rt-PA. The N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides were found to comprise diantennary (34% of total carbohydrate), 2,4-branched triantennary (11%), 2,6-branched triantennary (9%), and tetraantennary (5%) structures. Sialylation of these oligosaccharides was by alpha (2----3) linkages to galactose. Most (greater than 90%) of the N-acetyllactosamine-type structures contained fucose alpha (1----6) linked to the Asn-linked N-acetylglucosamine residue. The distribution of oligosaccharide structures at individual glycosylation sites (Asn residues 117, 184, and 448) was also determined. rt-PA exists as two variants that differ by the presence (type I) or absence (type II) of carbohydrate at Asn-184. Tryptic glycopeptides were isolated by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and treated with peptide:N-glycosidase F. The oligosaccharides released from each glycosylation site were analyzed by high pH anion exchange chromatography. By this analysis, Asn-117 was demonstrated to carry exclusively high mannose oligosaccharides. When glycosylated, Asn-184 carried diantennary, 2,4-branched triantennary, 2,6-branched triantennary, and tetraantennary N- acetyllactosamine oligosaccharides in the ratio 9.0:4.5:1.4:1. Asn- 448 carried the same types of oligosaccharides, but in the ratio 7.5:1.6:2.1:1. The distributions of Asn-linked oligosaccharides at positions 117 and 448 were found not to be affected by the presence or absence of carbohydrate at position 184. The relevance of the  相似文献

The glycosylation pattern of a humanized anti-EGFR×anti-CD3 bispecific single-chain diabody with an Fc portion (hEx3-scDb-Fc) produced by recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells was evaluated and compared with those of a recombinant humanized anti-IL-8 antibody (IgG1) and human serum IgG. N-Linked oligosaccharide structures were estimated by two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. No sialylation was observed with purified hEx3-scDb-Fc and the anti-IL-8 antibody. From the analysis of neutral oligosaccharides, approximately more than 90% of the N-linked oligosaccharides of hEx3-scDb-Fc and the anti-IL-8 antibody were alpha-1,6-fucosylated. The galactosylated biantennary oligosaccharides comprise over 40% of the total N-linked oligosaccharides in both hEx3-scDb-Fc and the anti-IL-8 antibody. The fully galactosylated biantennary oligosaccharides from hEx3-scDb-Fc and the anti-IL-8 antibody accounted for only 10% of the N-linked; however, more than 20% of the N-linked oligosaccharides were fully galactosylated biantennary oligosaccharides in human serum IgG. The glycosylation pattern of hEx3-scDb-Fc was quite similar to that of the anti-IL-8 antibody.  相似文献

The human chorionic gonadotropin β-subunit (hCGβ) is a glycoprotein in which 12 cysteine residues pair to form six intramolecular disulfide bonds. In order to elucidate the effect of each disulfide bond on glycosylation of the molecule, we analysed structures of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of various recombinant hCGβ produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells: wild-type hCGβ (βWT) and mutants in which any one of the six intramolecular disulfide bonds had been disrupted by site-directed mutagenesis. SDS-PAGE analysis of βWT and these mutants before and after digestion with endoglycosidase F and H revealed structural changes in the oligosaccharide moieties of some mutants. In addition, structural analysis of oligosaccharides obtained from metabolically labeled βWT and a mutant showed that the mutant contained additional high mannose type oligosaccharides. These results suggest that elimination of a specific disulfide bond, resulting in a change in the protein conformation, disturbs the normal assembly of the mature complex type oligosaccharides in the hCGβ molecule. Abbreviations: hCGβ, human chorionic gonadotropin β-subunit; βWT, wild type hCGβ; CHO, Chinese hamster ovary; Endo-H, endoglycosidase H; Endo-F, endoglycosidase F This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The TF, Tn, and SiaTn glycotopes are frequently expressed in cancer-associated mucins. Antibodies to these glycotopes were found in human serum. A set of polyacrylamide (PAA)—based glycoconjugates was applied to the direct and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to characterize the specificity of serum IgG antibodies. The anti-TF, -Tn and -SiaTn IgG were affinity purified from serum of cancer patients and characterized using PAA-conjugates and free saccharides. The anti-TF and -Tn antibodies were shown to be specific. The anti-TF IgG bound both Galβ1-3GalNAcα- and Galβ1-3GalNAcβ-PAA, the latter was three-four times more effective inhibitor of antibody binding. The anti-Tn IgG reacted only with GalNAcα-PAA. The anti-SiaTn IgG cross-reacted with Tn-PAA but SiaTn-PAA was five-six times more effective inhibitor in a competitive assay. The IC50 values for PAA-conjugates with the corresponding antibodies typically ranged from 2 to 5 × 10−8 M. The antibodies display a low specificity to mucin-type glycoconjugates in comparison with PAA-conjugates as was shown for mucins isolated from human malignant tumor tissues, ovine submaxillary mucin (OSM) and asialo-OSM. The unusual IgG-antibody specificity to GalNAcβ and GalNAcβ1-3GalNAcβ ligands was found in human serum. Published in 2004.

The complete structure of oligosaccharides from locust lipophorin was studied. The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides were first liberated from the protein moiety of lipophorin by digestion with almond glycopeptidase (N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase, EC 3.5.1.52). Two major oligosaccharides (E and F), separated by subsequent thin-layer chromatography, were analyzed by methylation analysis and 1H-NMR. Based on the experimental data, the whole structure of oligosaccharide E was identified as Man alpha 1----2Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----2Man alpha 1----3) Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----2Man alpha 1----2Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4GlcNAc. The data also revealed that oligosaccharide F is identical with oligosaccharide E in the structure, except for one glucose residue that is linked to the nonreducing terminal Man alpha 1----2 residue.  相似文献

A sensitive and quantitative method for the structural analysis of oligosaccharide was established for the glycoform analysis of glycoproteins. In this study,N-linked oligosaccharides of human IgG and bovine transferrin were analyzed for the evaluation of the method. Carbohydrate moiety of glycoprotein was released by hydrazinolysis and purified by paper chromatography. The oligosaccharides were labeled with a fluorescent dye, 2-aminobenzamide, for the enhancement of detection sensitivity. Sialylated (acidic) oligosaccharides were separated from neutral oligosaccharide by employing a strong anion-exchange column (MonoO) followed by the treatment with sialidase. Enzymatically desialyated fractions and neutral fractions of oligosaccharides were applied to normal-phase HPLC to resolve the peaks according to glucose unit (GU). The structure of separated molecules was further determined by sequential digestion with exoglycosidases. As a result, disialylated biantennary complextype oligo saccharide was found to be a major sugar chain in bovine transferrin (63%). In human IgG, core fucosylated asialobiantennary complex oligosaccharides were dominant. These results coincided well with reported results.  相似文献

Asparagine-linked oligosaccharides present on hen egg-yolk immunoglobulin, termed IgY, were liberated from the protein by hydrazinolysis. AfterN-acetylation, the oligosaccharides were labelled with a UV-absorbing compound,p-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (ABEE). The ABEE-derivatized oligosaccharides were fractionated by anion exchange, normal phase and reversed phase HPLC, and their structures were determined by a combination of sugar composition analysis, methylation analysis, negative ion FAB-MS, 500 MHz1H-NMR and sequential exoglycosidase digestions. IgY contained monoglucosylated oligomannose type oligosaccharides with structures of Glc1-3Man7–9-GlcNAc-GlcNAc, oligomannose type oligosaccharides with the size range of Man5–9GlcNAc-GlcNAc, and biantennary complex type oligosaccharides with core region structure of Man1-6(±GlcNAc1-4)(Man1-3)Man1-4GlcNAc1-4(±Fuc1-6)GlcNAc. The glucosylated oligosaccharides, Glc1Man8GlcNAc2 and Glc1Man7GlcNAc2, have not previously been reported in mature glycoproteins from any source.Abbreviations IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE, and IgA immunoglobulin G, M, D, E, and A, respectively - IgY egg-yolk antibody - ABEE p-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - FAB-MS fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry - Hex hexose - HexNAc N-acetylhexosamine - hCG human chorionic gonadotropsin  相似文献

The fusion glycoprotein (F0) was isolated from Newcastle disease virus (NDV) particles metabolically labelled with [2-3H]mannose; it was successively digested with protease and with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Streptomyces griseus. In this manner, the majority of the oligosaccharides in NDV F0 could be liberated. After reduction with NaBH4, they were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and were subjected to structural analysis. Using micromethylation/capillary gas chromatography/mass fragmentography, alpha-mannosidase digestion, and acetolysis, it was found that the enzymatically released NDV F0 oligosaccharides are common oligomannosidic glycoprotein glycans of size classes (Man)8GlcNAc, Man)7GlcNAc, (Man)6GlcNAc, (Man)9GlcNAc, and (Man)5GlcNAc (in order of prevalence). The major structural isomers present in the NDV F0 (Man)8GlcNAc to (Man)5GlcNAc fractions were shown to lack mannose residues D2, D1D2 or D2D3, D1D2D3, and CD1D2D3, respectively, of (Man)9GlcNAc.  相似文献

Rare polyagglutinable NOR erythrocytes contain unusual globoside extention products terminating with a Galα1-4GalNAcβ1-3Gal- unit. This trisaccharide epitope is recognized by recently characterized antibodies naturally occurring in most human sera (Duk et al., Glycobiology, 15, 109, 2005). These antibodies represent two major types of fine specificity. All these antibodies are most strongly inhibited by Galα1-4GalNAcβ1-3Gal (NOR-tri), and weakly by Galα1-4Gal. However, the type 1 antibodies are strongly inhibited by Galα1-4Galβ1-3Gal-R and weakly by Galα1-4GalNAc, while the type 2 antibodies show the opposite reactivities with these two oligosaccharides. Similar antibodies have now been found in horse, rabbit and pig sera. The antibodies were purified from animal sera by affinity chromatography on Galα1-4GalNAcβ1-3Gal-human serum albumin(HSA)-Sepharose 4B conjugate. The specificity of the antibodies was determined by binding to ELISA plates coated with several α-galactosylated oligosaccharide-polyacrylamide (PAA) or -HSA conjugates and by inhibition with synthetic oligosaccharides. The purified antibodies bound specifically to conjugates containing NOR-tri. The inhibition of binding showed that the animal sera also contain two types of anti-NOR antibodies: type 2 was found in the horse serum, and a mixture of both types was present in rabbit and pig serum. These results indicate that anti-NOR, a new and distinct kind of anti-αGal antibody, are present in animal sera and show similar specificties and diversity as their counterparts found in human sera.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Typical crystallizable fragment (Fc) glycans attached to the CH2 domain in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are core-fucosylated and asialo-biantennary complex-type glycans, e.g., G2F (full galactosylation), G1aF (terminal galactosylation on the Man α1-6 arm), G1bF (terminal galactosylation on the Man α1-3 arm), and G0F (non-galactosylation). Terminal galactose (Gal) residues of Fc-glycans are known to influence effector functions such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), but the impact of the G1F isomers (G1aF and G1bF) on the effector functions has not been reported. Here, we prepared four types of glycoengineered anti-CD20 mAbs bearing homogeneous G2F, G1aF, G1bF, or G0F (G2F mAb, G1aF mAb, G1bF mAb, or G0F mAb, respectively), and evaluated their biological activities. Interestingly, G1aF mAb showed higher C1q- and FcγR-binding activities, CDC activity, and FcγR-activation property than G1bF mAb. The activities of G1aF mAb and G1bF mAb were at the same level as G2F mAb and G0F mAb, respectively. Hydrogen–deuterium exchange/mass spectrometry analysis of dynamic structures of mAbs revealed the greater involvement of the terminal Gal residue on the Man α1-6 arm in the structural stability of the CH2 domain. Considering that mAbs interact with FcγR and C1q via their hinge proximal region in the CH2 domain, the structural stabilization of the CH2 domain by the terminal Gal residue on the Man α1-6 arm of Fc-glycans may be important for the effector functions of mAbs. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing the impact of G1F isomers on the effector functions and dynamic structure of mAbs.

Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (ENGases) are widely used to remove N-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins for glycomic and proteomic studies and biopharmaceutical processes. Although several ENGases are widely available and their main oligosaccharide structural preferences are generally known (i.e. high mannose, hybrid or complex), the preferences of ENGases from different kingdoms for individual structural isoforms within the major classes of N-linked oligosaccharides have previously not been compared. In this work, a fungal ENGase (Endo Tv) was purified for the first time from a commercial Trichoderma viride chitinase mixture by sequential anion exchange and size exclusion chromatography, a commonly used strategy for purification of chitinases and endo enzymes. Oligosaccharides released from substrate glycoproteins by Endo Tv were identified and quantified by high pH anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection and verified by mass spectrometric analysis. Unlike the widely-used bacterial ENGases, Endo H and Endo F1, Endo Tv released exclusively high mannose N-linked oligosaccharides from RNase B, ovalbumin, and yeast invertase. Endo Tv did not hydrolyze fucosylated, hybrid, complex type or bisecting N-acetylglucosamine-containing structures from bovine fetuin, ovalbumin and IgG. When compared to the bacterial ENGase, Endo H, the relative ratio of high-mannose oligosaccharide structural isoforms released from RNase B by Endo Tv was found to differ, with Endo Tv releasing more Man?GlcNAc and Man?GlcNAc isoform I and less Man(9)GlcNAc from RNase B. Based on these data, it is suggested that use of ENGases from multiple sources may serve to balance an introduced bias in quantitative analysis of released structural isoforms and may further prove valuable in biochemical structure-function studies.  相似文献

Cathepsin D from porcine spleen contained mannose (3.3%), glucosamine (1.4%), and mannose 6-phosphate (0.08%). Essentially all of the oligosaccharides of cathepsin D could be released by endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, pointing to oligomajmoside types of structures. Three neutral oligosaccharide fractions, containing 5, 6, and 7 mannose residues, respectively, were isolated by gel permeation chromatography on Bio-Gel P-2. Studies using exoglycosidase digestions and 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed that their structures are [Manα1 → 2]0 or 1Manα1 → 6[Manα1 → 3]Manα1 → 6[(Manα1 → 2)0 or 1Manα1 → 3]Manβ1 → 4GlcNAcβ1 → 4 GlcNAc. These structures are identical to what have recently been proposed by Takahashi et al. for the major oligosaccharide units of cathepsin D from the same source (T. Takahashi P.G. Schimidt, and J. Tang (1983)J. Biol. Chem.258, 2819–2930), except for the occurrence of two isomeric oligosaccharides containing six mannoses. Only a part (3.4%) of the oligosaccharides were acidic, containing phosphates in monoester linkage. The phosphorylated oligosaccharides also consisted of oligomannoside-type chains which were analogous to, but more heterogeneous in size than the neutral oligosaccharides. Cathepsin D was bound to a mannose- and N-acetylglucosamine-specific lectin (mannan-binding protein) isolated from rabbit liver with the Ki value of 5.4 × 10?6m.  相似文献

The structures of the glycoinositolphospholipids (GIPLs) from five strains of the protozoan parasiteTrypanosoma cruzi have been determined. Two series of structures were identified, all but one containing the same Man4(AEP)GlcN-Ins-PO4 core. Series 1 oligosaccharides are substituted at the third mannose distal to inositol (Man 3) by ethanolamine-phosphate or 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid, as are some glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-protein anchors ofT. cruzi. The core can be further substituted by terminal (1–3)-linked -galactofuranose units. In contrast, Series 2 oligosaccharides do not have additional phosphorus-containing groups attached to Man 3, the latter being substituted instead by a single side chain unit of -galactofuranose. Series 1 oligosaccharides are present in all strains (G, G-645, Tulahuen CL, and Y) whereas Series 2 structures are present mainly in CL and Y strains. The lipid moiety in the GIPLs from the G, G-645 and Tulahuen strains is predominantly ceramide, as reported for the Y strain, whilst that from the CL strain is a mixture of ceramide and alkylacylglycerol species. The lipid moiety of the GIPLs, and probably also the phosphoinositol-oligosaccharide structures may play an important immunomodulatory role in infection byT. cruzi.Abbreviations GIPL glycoinositolphospholipid - LPPG lipopeptidophosphoglycan - GPI glycosylphosphatidylinositol - AEP 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid - PI phosphoinositol - GC gas-liquid chromatography - MS mass spectrometry - FAB fast atom bombardment - NMR nuclear magnetic resonance - DQF-COSY double quantum-filtered correlation spectroscopy - TOCSY total correlation spectroscopy - ROESY rotating frame nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy - EtNP ethanolaminephosphate - HMQC heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence - Man mannose - Galf galactofuranose - GlcN glucosamine - Ins inositol - InsP inositolphosphate - Man 3 third mannose distal to inositol - NOE nuclear Overhauser effect - [M+H]+ protonated molecule - [M–H] deprotonated molecule - RMM relative molecular mass (monoisotopic)  相似文献

The asparagine-linked sugar chains of human apolipoprotein B-100 were liberated from the polypeptide portion by hydrazinolysis followed by N-acetylation and NaB3H4 reduction. Their structures were elucidated by sequential exoglycosidase digestion in combination with methylation analysis after fractionation by paper electrophoresis and gel permeation chromatography. One neutral and two acidic fractions were obtained by paper electrophoresis in a molar ratio of 7:8:5. The neutral fraction contained high-mannose type oligosaccharides consisting of Man5GlcNAc2 to Man9GlcNAc2. The acidic fractions contained monosialylated and disialylated biantennary complex type oligosaccharides. As minor components in the monosialylated fraction, biantennary complex-type oligosaccharides which were absent one terminal galactose residue, monoantennary complex type, and hybrid type oligosaccharides were detected. Apolipoprotein B-100 was calculated to contain 5-6 mol of high-mannose type and 8-10 mol of complex type oligosaccharides per mole protein.  相似文献

An intracellular arginine—specific aminopeptidase synthesized by Bacillus mycoides was purified and characterized. The purification procedure for studied aminopeptidase consisted of ammonium sulphate precipitation and three chromatographic steps: anion exchange chromatography and gel permeation chromatography. A molecular weight of ∼50 kDa was estimated for the aminopeptidase by gel permeation chromatography and SDS-PAGE. The optimal activity of the enzyme on arginyl-β-naphthylamide as a substrate was at 37°C and pH 9.0. The enzyme showed maximum specificity for basic amino acids: such as Arg and Lys but was also able to hydrolyze aromatic amino acids: Trp, Tyr, and Phe. Co2+ ions activated the enzyme, while Zn2+, Cu2+, Hg2+ and Mn2+ inhibited it. The enzyme is a metalloaminopeptidase whose activity is inhibited by typical metalloaminopeptidase inhibitors: EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline. Analysis of fragments of the amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme demonstrated high similarity to Amp S of Bacillus cereus and APII of B. thuringensis.  相似文献

Summary The thermophilic fungus Humicola grisea var. thermoidea produces a mycelium-associated β-xylosidase activity when grown in liquid-state cultures on media containing oat spelt xylan as the carbon source. The β-xylosidase was purified to apparent homogeneity by gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography. Its molecular weight was 37 and 50 kDa, as determined by MALDI/TOF mass spectrometry and SDS-PAGE, respectively. The purified enzyme exhibited maximum activity at 55 °C and pH 6.5. It was also active at pH 8.8, retaining 60% of its activity after 6 h of incubation at 50 °C. β-xylosidase was strongly inactivated by NBS and slightly activated by DTT and β-mercaptoethanol. The enzyme was highly specific for PNPX as the substrate. The purified β-xylosidase showed K m and V max values of 1.37 mM and 12.98 IU ml−1, respectively.  相似文献

A general approach to desalting oligosaccharides released from glycoproteins   总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19  
Desalting of sugar samples is essential for the success of many techniques of carbohydrate analysis such as mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis, anion exchange chromatography, enzyme degradation and chemical derivatization. All desalting methods which are currently used have limitations: for example, mixed-bed ion-exchange columns risk the loss of charged sugars, precipitation of salt by a non-aqueous solvent can result in co-precipitation of oligosaccharides, and gel chromatography uses highly crosslinked packings in which separation of small oligosaccharides is difficult to achieve. We demonstrate that graphitized carbon as a solid phase extraction cartridge can be used for the purification of oligosaccharides (or their derivatives) from solutions containing one or more of the following contaminants: salts (including salts of hydroxide, acetate, phosphate), monosaccharides, detergents (sodium dodecyl sulfate and Triton X-100), protein (including enzymes) and reagents for the release of oligosaccharides from glycoconjugates (such as hydrazine and sodium borohydride). There is complete recovery of the oligosaccharides from the adsorbent which can also be used to fractionate acidic and neutral glycans. Specific applications such as clean-up of N-linked oligosaccharides after removal by PNGase F and hydrazine, desalting of O-linked glycans after removal by alkali, on-line desalting of HPAEC-separated oligosaccharides and -eliminated alditols prior to electrospray mass spectrometry, and purification of oligosaccharides from urine are described.  相似文献

Recombinant monoclonal antibody heterogeneity is inherent due to various enzymatic and non-enzymatic modifications. In this study, a recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody with different states of glycosylation on the conserved asparagine residue in the CH(2) domain was analyzed by weak cation exchange chromatography. Two major peaks were observed and were further characterized by enzymatic digestion and mass spectrometry. It was found that this recombinant monoclonal antibody contained three glycosylation states of antibody with zero, one or two glycosylated heavy chains. The peak that eluted earlier on the cation exchange column contained antibodies with two glycosylated heavy chains containing fucosylated biantennary complex oligosaccharides with zero, one or two terminal galactose residues. The peak that eluted later from the column contained antibodies with either zero, one or two glycosylated heavy chains. The oligosaccharide on the antibodies eluted in the later peak was composed of only two GlcNAc residues. These results indicate that conformational changes in large proteins such as monoclonal antibodies, caused by different types of neutral oligosaccharides as well as the absence of oligosaccharides, can be differentiated by cation exchange column chromatography.  相似文献

A recombinant IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) showed multiple charge variants in a cation exchange chromatography profile. To better understand the correlation between charge heterogeneity and glycosylation, a rapid reversed phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS) method with integrated mass analysis has been developed for simultaneous determination of N-terminal pyroglutamate, C-terminal lysine truncation, and Fc glycosylation. The results show that various degrees and/or types of N-terminal pyroglutamate formation and C-terminal lysine (Lys) cleavage account for the majority of charge heterogeneity; and the charge variants showed Fc glycosylation patterns in relation to their terminal modifications. The amount of G1F decreased in the basic variants, whereas Man5 and G0F-GN increased. The complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity of purified charge variants also suggested the potential impact of the charge differences on the glycosylation profile.  相似文献
