Carbohydrate recognition by bovine serum conglutinin has been investigated by inhibition and direct binding assays using glycoproteins and polysaccharides from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), and neoglycolipids derived from N-acetylglucosamine oligomers, mannobiose and human milk oligosaccharides. The results clearly show that conglutinin is a lectin which binds terminal N-acetylglucosamine, mannose and fucose residues as found in chitobiose (GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc), mannobiose (Man alpha 1-3Man) and lacto-N-fucopentaose II [Fuc alpha 1-4(Gal beta 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc] respectively.  相似文献

Two different mannose-binding proteins (MBP-A and MBP-C), which show 56% sequence identity, are present in rat serum and liver. It has previously been shown that MBP-A binds to a range of monosaccharide-bovine serum albumin conjugates, and that, among oligosaccharide ligands tested, preferential binding is to terminal nonreducing N-acetylglucosamine residues of complex type N-linked oligosaccharides. In order to compare the binding specificity of MBP-C, an expression system has been developed for production of a fragment of this protein which contains the COOH-terminal carbohydrate-recognition domain. After radioiodination, the domain has been used to probe natural glycoproteins, neoglycoproteins, and neoglycolipids. Like MBP-A, MBP-C binds several different monosaccharides conjugated to bovine serum albumin, including mannose, fucose, and N-acetylglucosamine, although binding to the last of these is relatively weaker than observed for MBP-A. The results of binding to natural glycoproteins and to neoglycolipids containing oligosaccharides derived from these proteins are most compatible with the interpretation that MBP-C interacts primarily with the trimannosyl core of complex N-linked oligosaccharides, with additional ligands being terminal fucose and perhaps also peripheral mannose residues of high mannose type oligosaccharides. This binding specificity is thus quite distinct from that of MBP-A. The presence of multiple MBPs with distinct binding specificities in preparations derived from serum and liver explains conflicting conclusions which have been reached about carbohydrate recognition by these proteins.  相似文献

Phosphomannosyl residues on lysosomal enzymes serve as an essential component of the recognition marker necessary for binding to the mannose 6-phosphate (Man 6-P) receptor and translocation to lysosomes. The high mannose-type oligosaccharide units of lysosomal enzymes are phosphorylated by the following mechanism: N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate is transferred to the 6 position of a mannose residue to form a phosphodiester; then N- acetylglucosamine is removed to expose a phosphomonoester. We examined the kinetics of this phosphorylation pathway in the murine lymphoma BW5147.3 cell line to determine the state of oligosaccharide phosphorylation at the time the newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes bind to the receptor. Cells were labeled with [2-(3)H]mannose for 20 min and then chased for various times up to 4 h. The binding of newly synthesized glycoproteins to the Man 6-P receptor was followed by eluting the bound ligand with Man 6-P. Receptor-bound material was first detected at 30 min of chase and reached a maximum at 60 min of chase, at which time approximately 10 percent of the total phosphorylated oligosaccharides were associated with the receptor. During longer chase times, the total quantity of cellular phosphorylated oligosaccharides decreased with a half-time of 1.4 h, suggesting that the lysosomal enzymes had reached their destination and had been dephosphorylated. The structures of the phosphorylated aligosaccharides of the eluted ligand were then determined and compared with the phosphorylated oligosaccharides of molecules which were not bond to the receptor. The major phosphorylated oligosaccharide species present in the nonreceptor-bound material contained a single phosphosphodiester at all time examined. In contrast, receptor-bound oligosaccharides were greatly enriched in species possessing one and two phosphomonoesters. These results indicate that binding of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes to the Man 6-P receptor occurs only after removal of the covering N- acetylglucosamine residues.  相似文献

Processing of the asparagine-linked oligosaccharides at the known glycosylation sites on the mu-chain of IgM secreted by MOPC 104E murine plasmacytoma cells was investigated. Oligosaccharides present on intracellular mu-chain precursors were of the high mannose type, remaining susceptible to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. However, only 26% of the radioactivity was released from [3H]mannose-labeled secreted IgM glycopeptides, consistent with the presence of high mannose-type and complex-type oligosaccharides on the mature mu-chain. [3H]Mannose-labeled cyanogen bromide glycopeptides derived from mu-chains of secreted IgM were isolated and analyzed to identify the glycopeptide containing the high mannose-type oligosaccharide from those containing complex-type structures. [3H]Mannose-labeled intracellular mu-chain cyanogen bromide glycopeptides corresponding to those from secreted IgM were isolated also, and the time courses of oligosaccharide processing at the individual glycosylation sites were determined. The major oligosaccharides on all intracellular mu-chain glycopeptides after 20 min of pulse labeling with [3H]mannose were identified as Man8GlcNAc2, Man9GlcNAc2, and Glc1Man9GlcNAc2. Processing of the oligosaccharide destined to become the high mannose-type structure on the mature protein was rapid. After 30 min of chase incubation the predominant structures of this oligosaccharide were Man5GlcNAc2 and Man6GlcNAc2 which were also identified on the high mannose-type oligosaccharide of the secreted mu-chain. In contrast, processing of oligosaccharides destined to become complex type was considerably slower. Even after 180 min of chase incubation, Man7GlcNAc2 and Man8GlcNAc2 were the predominant structures at some of these glycosylation sites. The isomeric structures of Man8GlcNAc2 obtained from all of the glycosylation sites were identical. Thus, the different rates of processing were not the result of a different sequence of alpha 1,2-mannose removal.  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

Site-specific presentation of oligosaccharides in the context of carrier proteins can influence markedly their recognition by carbohydrate-binding proteins. On RNaseB, the Man5-9 N-glycans at Asn-34 are bound by the serum lectin conglutinin when the glycoprotein is reduced and denatured, but there is no binding to the N-glycans on the native form of RNaseB. The RNaseB Man8, which is a glycoform preferentially bound by conglutinin, is the subject of the present study. The conformational behavior of the protein-linked oligosaccharide Man8 is investigated on the native and on the reduced and denatured RNaseB, using a combination of NMR and theoretical calculations. Quantitative data on the NOESY crosspeaks have been obtained, thereby allowing the comparison of mobilities of homologous linkages within the glycan chain. Oligosaccharide conformations compatible with the NMR data have been explored by molecular modeling of the free oligosaccharide, using two different force fields (AMBER and SYBYL). There are some differences between the results produced by the two force fields, the AMBER simulations providing a better agreement with the experimental data. The results indicate that both on the native and on the reduced heat-denatured glycoprotein, the RNase Man8 oligosaccharide exhibits a conformational behavior very similar to that of the free oligosaccharide. However, this conformational freedom of the N-glcyan does not amount to full availability for carbohydrate-recognition proteins and enzymes.  相似文献

An extracellular mucous glycoprotein has been isolated from the hard coral Acropora formosa. The glycoprotein contains sulfated oligosaccharide side chains attached through O-glycosidic linkages to serine and threonine, the principal amino acids (77%) in the polypeptide. The oligosaccharide side chains consist of D-arabinose, D-mannose, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine with smaller amounts of D-galactose, L-fucose, and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, but no sialic or uronic acids. Alkaline borohydride reductive cleavage resulted in a mixture of oligosaccharide alditols. Six oligosaccharides were purified by high performance liquid chromatography. The structures of these oligosaccharides, which do not resemble those of any other glycoprotein so far examined, were determined by a combination of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of methylation products and NMR spectroscopy. All oligosaccharides contain a reducing terminal mannitol residue with N-acetylglucosamine linked to carbon 2, 4, or 6 of the mannitol. There is no evidence for linkage of N-acetylglucosamine to any other glycoses in the glycoprotein. Galactose was detected in two oligosaccharides linked to the 4-position of mannitol. Arabinose (Ara) was found in only one oligosaccharide. This was probably due to hydrolysis of the labile arabino-furanoside linkages. Evidence is presented which indicates the arabinose occurs primarily at the terminal position of oligosaccharide side chains. The structures of the oligosaccharides isolated from the glycoprotein were: (Formula: see text).  相似文献

The receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the human epidermoid carcinoma cell line A-431 is a glycoprotein of apparent molecular weight = 170,000. During biosynthesis, the receptor is first detected as a precursor of apparent Mr = 160,000. In this report we describe our studies on the structures of the oligosaccharide moieties of the mature receptor and its precursor. A-431 cells were grown in medium containing radioactive sugars and the radiolabeled receptors were purified by immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Radiolabeled glycopeptides were prepared from the purified receptor by proteolysis, and their structures were examined by a variety of techniques. The mature EGF receptor contains both complex-type and high mannose-type Asn-linked oligosaccharides in the approximate ratio of 2 to 1, while the precursor contains only high mannose-type chains. A number of experimental results demonstrate that the mature receptor does not contain oligosaccharides in O-linkage through N-acetylgalactosamine to either serine or threonine. The high mannose-type oligosaccharides in both precursor and mature receptor can be cleaved by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and occur in the mature receptor as Man9GlcNAc2 (6%), Man8GlcNAc2 (49%), Man7GlcNAc2 (25%), and Man6GlcNAc2 (20%), whereas, in the receptor precursor the high mannose chains occur primarily as Man8GlcNAc2 (70%). The complex-type oligosaccharides in the mature receptor are predominantly tri- or tetraantennary species and are unusual in several respects. (i) Many of the chains do not contain sialic acid, while the remaining chains contain 1-2 sialic acid residues. (ii) Half of the [3H] mannose-derived radioactivity was recovered as [3H] fucose and the remaining half as [3H] mannose, indicating that there may be an average of 3 fucose residues/chain. (iii) About one-third of the [3H] glucosamine-derived radioactivity in these glycopeptides was recovered as N-acetylgalactosamine and these residues are all alpha-linked and occur at the nonreducing termini. These data demonstrate that the complex-type Asn-linked oligosaccharides in the EGF receptor from A-431 cells contain sugar residues related to human blood type A. In light of other recent studies, these results suggest that in A-431 cells blood group determinants in surface glycoproteins are contained in Asn-linked but not O-linked oligosaccharides.  相似文献

In the preceding report we demonstrated that the expression of two developmentally regulated alpha-mannosidase activities is induced in Dictyostelium discoideum during its differentiation from single-cell amoebae to multicellular organism (Sharkey, D. J., and Kornfeld, R. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 18477-18484). These activities, designated membrane alpha-mannosidase I (MI) and membrane alpha-mannosidase II (MII), were shown to have several properties in common with rat liver Golgi alpha-mannosidases I and II, respectively, suggesting that MI and MII may play a role in the processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides in developing D. discoideum. In this study we analyzed the structures of the asparagine-linked oligosaccharides synthesized by D. discoideum at various stages of development to determine the timing and extent of asparagine-linked oligosaccharide processing. Cells were labeled with [2-3H] mannose, and then total cellular glycoproteins were digested with Pronase to generate glycopeptides that were fractionated on concanavalin A-Sepharose. Glycopeptides from each fraction were digested with endoglycosidase H, both before and after desulfation by solvolysis, and the released, neutral oligosaccharides were sized by high pressure liquid chromatography. At early stages of development, D. discoideum contain predominantly large high mannose-type oligosaccharides (Man9GlcNAc and Man8GlcNAc). Some of these are modified by GlcNAc residues attached beta 1-4 to the mannose-linked alpha 1-6 to the beta-linked core mannose (the "intersecting" position), as well as by fucose, sulfate, and phosphate. In contrast, the oligosaccharides found at late stages of development (18-24 h) have an array of sizes from Man9GlcNAc to Man3GlcNAc. These are still modified by GlcNAc, fucose, sulfate, and phosphate, but the percent of larger high mannose oligosaccharides that are modified with GlcNAc in the intersecting position decreases after 6 h of development, in parallel with the decrease in the intersecting GlcNAc transferase activity. Similarly, the changes in the size of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides synthesized during development correlate well with the appearance of MI and MII activities and suggest that these developmentally regulated alpha-mannosidase activities function in the processing of these oligosaccharides. This is supported further by the observation that oligosaccharide processing was inhibited in late stage cells labeled in the presence of either deoxymannojirimycin, an inhibitor of MI, or swainsonine, an inhibitor of MII.  相似文献

The structures of the oligosaccharides attached to arylphorin from Chinese oak silkworm, Antheraea pernyi, have been determined. Arylphorin, a storage protein present in fifth larval hemolymph, contained 4.8% (w/w) of carbohydrate that was composed of Fuc:GlcNAc:Glc:Man=0.2:4.0:1.4:13.6 moles per mole protein. Four moles of GlcNAc in oligomannose-type oligosaccharides strongly suggest that the protein contains two N-glycosylation sites. Normal-phase HPLC and mass spectrometry oligosaccharide profiles confirmed that arylphorin contained mainly oligomannose-type glycans as well as truncated mannose-type structures with or without fucosylation. Interestingly, the most abundant oligosaccharide was monoglucosylated Man9-GlcNAc2, which was characterized by normal-phase HPLC, mass spectrometry, Aspergillus saitoi alpha-mannosidase digestion, and 1H 600 MHz NMR spectrometry. This glycan structure is not normally present in secreted mammalian glycoproteins; however, it has been identified in avian species. The Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 structure was present only in arylphorin, whereas other hemolymph proteins contained only oligomannose and truncated oligosaccharides. The oligosaccharide was also detected in the arylphorin of another silkworm, Bombyx mori, suggesting a specific function for the Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 glycan. There were no processed glucosylated oligosaccharides such as Glc1Man5-8GlcNAc2. Furthermore, Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 was not released from arylophorin by PNGase F under nondenaturing conditions, suggesting that the N-glycosidic linkage to Asn is protected by the protein. Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 may play a role in the folding of arylphorin or in the assembly of hexamers.  相似文献

Four oligosaccharide fractions were isolated and purified from the kidney of goats affected with beta-mannosidosis by repeating Bio-Gel P-2 column chromatography. The structural characterization of the purified oligosaccharide fractions (oligosaccharides A, B, C1,2, and D) included sugar composition analysis by gas chromatography, sugar sequence analysis by mass spectrometry of their permethylated alditols, and by methylation analysis as well as anomeric configuration studies by exoglycosidase digestions. Oligosaccharides A and B were the major oligosaccharides accumulating in the kidney and were elucidated as Man beta 1-4GlcNAc and Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc, respectively (Matsuura, F., Laine, R. A., and Jones, M. Z. (1981) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 211, 485-493). Oligosaccharide C1,2 was a mixture of two tetrasaccharides and oligosaccharide D was a pentasaccharide. The proposed structures are: oligosaccharide C1, Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4Man beta 1-4GlcNAc; oligosaccharide C2, Man alpha 1-6Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc; oligosaccharide D, Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc. Tetrasaccharide C1 and pentasaccharide D are heretofore undiscovered oligosaccharides. There is no precedent for these structures in glycoproteins or other glycoconjugates. One possibility which accounts for the presence of oligosaccharide C1 and D is that a bisecting N-acetylglucosamine (the beta-N-acetylglucosamine residue linked at the C-4 position of the beta-mannosyl residue of the trimannosyl core of the asparagine-linked sugar chains) is linked by a beta-mannosyl residue. Moreover, the detection of oligosaccharides containing two N-acetylglucosamine residues at the reducing terminus, together with those containing a single N-acetylglucosamine residue, is further corroboration of species-specific differences in glycoprotein catabolic pathways (Hancock, L. W., and Dawson, G. (1984) Fed. Proc. 43, 1552) or in glycoprotein structures.  相似文献

Carbohydrates of lysosomal enzymes secreted by Tetrahymena pyriformis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The carbohydrate structures of acid phosphatase and alpha-glucosidase secreted into culture medium by Tetrahymena pyriformis strain W were studied. Their asparagine-linked sugar chains were quantitatively liberated as radioactive oligosaccharides from their polypeptide moieties by controlled hydrazinolysis followed by N-acetylation and NaB3H4 reduction. The approximate amounts of total sugar chains liberated from 1 mol each of acid phosphatase and alpha-glucosidase were 6 and 4 mol, respectively. Paper electrophoresis revealed that only neutral oligosaccharides were obtained from both enzymes. The oligosaccharide fraction from acid phosphatase was separated into seven components by Bio-Gel P-4 column chromatography while that from alpha-glucosidase was resolved into three components. The structures of these oligosaccharides were determined by sequential glycosidase digestion in combination with methylation analysis. The sugar chains of the two enzymes can be primarily classified as high mannose-type oligosaccharides. However, they have the following characteristic features: 1) their common core is not the usual Man5 . GlcNAc2 structure, it is Man3 . GlcNAc2; 2) some of the sugar chains of acid phosphatase have 1 approximately 3 glucose residues linked to the nonreducing terminal Man alpha 1----2 residue. The structural characteristics of the sugar moieties of the two enzymes indicate that they might be produced by the so-called "alternate pathway," in which lipid-linked Glc3 . Man5 . GlcNAc2 functions as an oligosaccharide donor.  相似文献

Conditions were established for desulphation of hexa-, octa-, deca- and larger oligosaccharides derived from corneal keratan sulphate after treatment with endo-beta-galactosidase. The antigenicities of the desulphated oligosaccharides were compared with those of the native oligosaccharides in chromatogram binding, plastic-plate binding or inhibition of binding assays using a novel microimmunochemical approach with oligosaccharide-lipid conjugates (neoglycolipids). The results clearly show that sulphate residues are essential components of the antigenic determinant(s) recognised by three monoclonal antibodies to keratan sulphate, 5-D-4, 1-B-4 and MZ15, but they mask the i antigen activity of the linear poly-(N-acetyllactosamine) backbones of this glycosaminoglycan. Immunochemical assays, before and after beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase treatment of desulphated linear hexa-, octa- and decasaccharides derived from keratan sulphate, indicate that for reaction with one anti-i antibody, Den, there is an absolute requirement for the non-reducing beta-galactosyl residue of the i antigen structure to be in the terminal position, but with a second anti-i antibody, Tho, there is in addition some reactivity with the i antigen structure having an N-acetylglucosamine residue at the non-reducing end. The chromatographic properties after desulphation or nitrosation of a minor keratan sulphate oligosaccharide (a dodecasaccharide), which reacts especially well with antibody 5-D-4, have provided the first evidence for the presence of glucosamine residues that may be N-sulphated in corneal keratan sulphate.  相似文献

A second generation of lipid-linked oligosaccharide probes, fluorescent neoglycolipids, has been designed and synthesized for ligand discovery within highly complex mixtures of oligosaccharides. The aminolipid 1,2-dihexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DHPE), which has been used extensively to generate neoglycolipids for biological and structural studies, has been modified to incorporate a fluorescent label, anthracene. This new lipid reagent, N-aminoacetyl-N-(9-anthracenylmethyl)-1, 2-dihexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (ADHP), synthesized from anthracenaldehyde and DHPE gives an intense fluorescence under UV light. Fluorescent neoglycolipids derived from a variety of neutral and acidic oligosaccharides by conjugation to ADHP, by reductive amination, can be detected and quantified by spectrophotometry and scanning densitometry, and resolved by TLC and HPLC with subpicomole detection. Antigenicities of the ADHP-neoglycolipids are well retained, and picomole levels can be detected using monoclonal carbohydrate sequence-specific antibodies. Among O-glycans from an ovarian cystadenoma mucin, isomeric oligosaccharide sequences, sialyl-Lea- and sialyl-Lex-active, could be resolved by HPLC as fluorescent neoglycolipids, and sequenced by liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry. Thus the neoglycolipid technology now uniquely combines high sensitivity of immuno-detection with a comparable sensitivity of chemical detection. Principles are thus established for a streamlined technology whereby an oligosaccharide population is carried through ligand detection and ligand isolation steps, and sequence determination by mass spectrometry, enzymatic sequencing and other state-of-the-art technologies for carbohydrate analysis.  相似文献

Tris caused the distention of the Golgi cisternae in primary cultured rat hepatocytes and perturbed the functions occurring there. Proteolytic cleavage of precursors of both albumin and complement C3 was inhibited, whereas that of prohaptoglobin was not affected by Tris. These effects on the proteolytic cleavages resemble those of acidotropic amines (Oda, K., and Ikehara, Y. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 152, 605-609; Oda, K., Koriyama, Y., Yamada, E., and Ikehara, Y. (1986) Biochem. J. 240, 739-745). However, the effects of Tris significantly differed from acidotropic amines on the basis of its effects on the processing of N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins. Both alpha 1-protease inhibitor and haptoglobin secreted from the Tris-treated cells were found to contain almost equal amounts of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-sensitive and -resistant oligosaccharides, whereas the glycoproteins from both the control and methylamine-treated cells were resistant to the enzyme. The endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-sensitive oligosaccharides were analyzed to be Man8-5GlcNAc by high resolution gel permeation chromatography, suggesting that trimming of alpha-mannose residues from the precursor Man9GlcNAc2 is incomplete in the Tris-treated cells. On the other hand, Tris did not significantly inhibit incorporation of radioactive monosaccharides (N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, and fucose) into the glycoproteins. However, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with neuraminidase digestion demonstrated that sialylation was markedly inhibited by Tris. Taken together, our results reveal that Tris inhibits not only the sialic acid addition which takes place in the trans Golgi region, but also the trimming step of high mannose-type oligosaccharides, which is thought to occur before glycoproteins reach the trans Golgi region.  相似文献

The kinetics of N-linked oligosaccharide processing and the structures of the processing intermediates have been examined in normal parental BW5147 mouse lymphoma cells and the alpha-glucosidase II-deficient PHAR2.7 mutant cells. The mutant cells accumulated glucosylated intermediates but were able to deglucosylate and process about 40% of their oligosaccharides to complex-type. This processing was not due to residual alpha-glucosidase II activity since the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) and N-butyl-DNJ did not prevent it. Parent cells also showed alpha-glucosidase II-independent processing in the presence of DNJ and N-butyl-DNJ. Membrane preparations from both parent and mutant cells had endo alpha-mannosidase activity, that is, split Glc1,2Man9GlcNAc to Glc1,2Man plus Man8GlcNAc, indicating that this was a candidate for an alternate route to complex oligosaccharide formation in the mutant cells. A balance study in which the cellular glycoproteins, intracellular water soluble saccharides, and saccharides secreted into the medium were isolated and analyzed from [2-3H]mannose-labeled mutant cells showed that the cells formed the di- and trisaccharides Glc1Man and Glc2Man in amounts equivalent to the deglucosylated oligosaccharides found in the cellular glycoproteins. This result shows unequivocally that the alpha-glucosidase II-deficient mutant cells use endo alpha-mannosidase as a bypass route for N-linked oligosaccharide processing.  相似文献

Phaseolin, the major storage protein of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), is a glycoprotein which is synthesized during seed development and accumulates in protein storage vacuoles or protein bodies. The protein has three different N-linked oligosaccharide side chains: Man9(GlcNAc)2, Man7(GlcNAc)2, and Xyl-Man3(GlcNAc)2 (where Xyl represents xylose). The structures of these glycans were determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The Man9(GlcNAc)2 glycan has the typical structure found in plant and animal glycoproteins. The structures of the two other glycans are shown below. (Formula; see text) Phaseolin was separated by electrophoresis on denaturing gels into four size classes of polypeptides. The two abundant ones have two oligosaccharides each, whereas the less abundant ones have only one oligosaccharide each. Polypeptides with two glycans have Man7(GlcNAc)2 attached to Asn252 and Man9(GlcNAc)2 attached to Asn341. Polypeptides with only one glycan have Xyl-Man3(GlcNAc)2 attached to Asn252. Both these asparagine residues are in canonical glycosylation sites; the numbering starts with the N-terminal methionine of the signal peptide of phaseolin. The presence of the Man7(GlcNAc)2 and of Xyl-Man3(GlcNAc)2 at the same asparagine residue (position 252) of different polypeptides seems to be controlled by the glycosylation status of Asn341. When Asp341 is unoccupied, the glycan at Asn252 is complex. When Asn341 is occupied, the glycan at Asn252 is only modified to the extent that 2 mannosyl residues are removed. The processing of the glycans, after the removal of the glucose residues, involves enzymes in the Golgi apparatus as well as in the protein bodies. Formation of the Xyl-Man3(GlcNAc)2 glycan is a multistep process that involves the Golgi apparatus-mediated removal of 6 mannose residues and the addition of 2 N-acetylglucosamine residues and 1 xylose. The terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues are later removed in the protein bodies. The conversion of Man9(GlcNAc)2 to Man7(GlcNAc)2 is a late processing event which occurs in the protein bodies. Experiments in which [3H]glucosamine-labeled phaseolin obtained from the endoplasmic reticulum (i.e. precursor phaseolin) is incubated with jack bean alpha-mannosidase show that the high mannose glycan on Asn252, but not the one on Asn341, is susceptible to enzyme degradation. Incubation of [3H] glucosamine-labeled phaseolin obtained from the Golgi apparatus with jack bean beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase results in the removal of the terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues from the complex chain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Six monoclonal antibodies, three each of human IgG1 and IgG2 subclasses, were obtained from human-mouse hybridomas. Structural study of their asparagine-linked sugar chains was performed to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of secreted monoclonal IgG glycosylation. The sugar moieties were quantitatively released as oligosaccharides from the polypeptide backbone by hydrazinolysis. They were converted into radioactive oligosaccharides by NaB3H4 reduction after N-acetylation. Structural study of each oligosaccharide by lectin affinity column chromatography, sequential exoglycosidase digestion, and methylation analysis indicated that almost all of them were biantennary complex-type sugar chains containing Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4 (+/- Fuc alpha 1----6)GlcNAc as core structures. Bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residue, which is present in human IgG but not in mouse IgG, could not be detected at all. The molar ratio of each oligosaccharide from the six IgG samples was different. However, no subclass specificity was detected except that all IgG1 contained neutral, mono-, and disialylated sugar chains, whereas IgG2 did not contain disialylated ones. The molar ratio of N-acetylneuraminic acid to N-glycolylneuraminic acid was also different for each IgG. All six IgGs contained monoantennary complex-type and high mannose-type oligosaccharides which had never been detected in serum IgGs of various mammals so far investigated. These results indicated that the processing of asparagine-linked sugar chains of IgG is less complete in human-mouse hybridoma than in human or mouse B cells, and that the glycosylation machinery of the mouse cells is dominant in the hybrid cells.  相似文献

The structures of the N-linked oligosaccharides of miraculin, which is a taste modifying glycoprotein isolated from miracle fruits, berries of Richadella dulcifica, are reported. Asparagine-linked oligosaccharides were released from the protein by glycopeptidase (almond) digestion. The reducing ends of the oligosaccharide chains thus obtained were aminated with a fluorescent reagent, 2-aminopyridine, and the mixture of pyridylamino derivatives of the oligosaccharides was separated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on an ODS-silica column. More than five kinds of oligosaccharide fractions were separated by the one chromatographic run. The structure of each oligosaccharide thus isolated was analyzed by a combination of sequential exoglycosidase digestion and another kind of HPLC with an amidesilica column. Furthermore, high resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) measurements were carried out. It was found that 1) five oligosaccharides obtained are a series of compounds with xylose-containing common structural core, Xyl beta 1----2 (Man alpha 1----6) Man beta 1----4-GlcNAc beta 1----4 (Fuca1----3)GlcNAc, 2) a variety of oligosaccharide structures are significant for two glycosylation sites, Asn-42 and Asn-186, and 3) two new oligosaccharides, B and D, with unusual structures containing monoantennary complex-type were characterized.

The carbohydrate binding specificity of Psathyrella velutina lectin (PVL) was thoroughly investigated by analyzing the behavior of various complex-type oligosaccharides and human milk oligosaccharides on a PVL-Affi-Gel 10 column. Basically, the lectin interacts with the nonreducing terminal beta-N-acetylglucosamine residue, but does not show any affinity for the nonreducing terminal N-acetylgalactosamine or N-acetylneuraminic acid residue. Substitution of the terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues of oligosaccharides by galactose completely abolishes their affinity to the column. GlcNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4sorbitol binds to the column, but GlcNAc beta 1----6Gal beta 1----4sorbitol is only retarded in the column. The behavior of degalactosylated N-linked oligosaccharides is quite interesting. Although all degalactosylated monoantennary sugar chain isomers are retarded in the column, those with the GlcNAc beta 1----2Man group interact more strongly with the column than those with the GlcNAc beta 1----4Man group or the GlcNAc beta 1----6Man group. The degalactosylated bi- and triantennary sugar chains bind to the column, but the tetraantennary ones are only retarded in the column. These results indicated that the binding affinity is not simply determined by the number of terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues. Addition of the bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residue reduces the affinity of oligosaccharides to the column, but addition of an alpha-fucosyl residue at the C-6 position of the proximal N-acetylglucosamine residue does not affect the behavior of oligosaccharides in the column. These results indicated that the binding specificity of PVL is quite different from those of other N-acetylglucosamine-binding lectins from higher plants, which interact preferentially with the GlcNAc beta 1----4 residue.  相似文献
