Four oligosaccharide chain-cleaving enzymes, including two new endoglycosidases distinct from endo-beta-acetylglucosaminidase (Endo) F1, have been identified and purified to homogeneity from cultural filtrates of Flavobacterium meningosepticum. FPLC-directed hydrophobic-interaction chromatography in conjunction with high-resolution ion-exchange chromatography provided a more simple, rapid method for the isolation of endoglycosidase F1, F2 and F3, and the amidase, peptide-N4-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)-asparagine amidase (PNGase F), in greater than 50% yield. The specificity of PNGase F and Endo F1 are well established. Endo F2 and Endo F3 represent new distinct endoglycosidases that prefer complex as compared to high-mannose asparagine-linked glycans. Endo F2 cleaved biantennary oligosaccharides, whereas Endo F3 cleaved both bi- and triantennary oligosaccharides.  相似文献

The in vivo specificity for E-selectin binding to a panel of N-linked oligosaccharides containing a clustered array of one to four sialyl Lewisx (SLex; NeuAcalpha2-3Gal[Fucalpha1-3]beta1-4GlcNAc) determinants was studied in mice. Following intraperitoneal dosing with lipopolysaccharide, radioiodinated tyrosinamide N-linked oligosaccharides were dosed i.v. and analyzed for their pharmacokinetics and biodistribution. Specific targeting was determined from the degree of SLex oligosaccharide targeting relative to a sialyl oligosaccharide control. Oligosaccharides targeted the kidney with the greatest selectivity after a 4-h induction period following lipopolysaccharide dosing. Unique pharmacokinetic profiles were identified for SLex biantennary and triantennary oligosaccharides but not for monovalent and tetraantennary SLex oligosaccharides or sialyl oligosaccharide controls. Biodistribution studies established that both SLex biantennary and triantennary oligosaccharides distributed to the kidney with 2-3-fold selectivity over sialyl oligosaccharide controls, whereas monovalent and tetraantennary SLex oligosaccharides failed to mediate specific kidney targeting. Simultaneous dosing of SLex biantennary or triantennary oligosaccharide with a mouse anti-E-selectin monoclonal antibody blocked kidney targeting, whereas co-administration with anti-P-selectin monoclonal antibody did not significantly block kidney targeting. The results suggest that SLex biantennary and triantennary are N-linked oligosaccharide ligands for E-selectin and implicate E-selectin as a bivalent receptor in the murine kidney endothelium.  相似文献

The structures of the major oligosaccharide moieties of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AcChoR) protein from Torpedo californica have been reported [Nomoto, H., Takahashi, N., Nagaki, Y., Endo, S., Arata, Y. and Hayashi, K. (1986) Eur. J. Biochem. 157, 233-242] to be high-mannose types. Here we report detailed analyses of the structures of the remaining oligosaccharides in this receptor. The sialylated oligosaccharides released by glycopeptidase (almond) digestion were separated according to the number of sialic acid residues using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection. After removal of sialic acid from each fraction, the resulting neutral oligosaccharides were separately pyridylaminated and were analyzed by a combination of sequential exoglycosidase digestion and HPLC, then identified on a two-dimensional sugar map. The structures of two desialylated pyridylamino-oligosaccharides were further analyzed by high-resolution proton NMR. Each oligosaccharide was composed of species containing varying numbers of sialic acids. The desialylated complex-type oligosaccharides of AcChoR consisted of ten, eight and one different biantennary, triantennary and tetraantennary oligosaccharide, respectively. The biantennary oligosaccharides were divided into two groups; oligosaccharides with fucose at the proximal N-acetylglucosamine (six varieties) and oligosaccharides without fucose (four varieties). Each group consisted of species differing in the number of terminal galactose residues. The major component of the biantennary oligosaccharides had two galactose residues at the non-reducing termini. The terminal alpha-galactose residue(s) linked to C3 of beta-galactose were found in the fucose-containing biantennary oligosaccharides (two varieties). The triantennary oligosaccharides were also divided into two groups; oligosaccharides with (four varieties) and without (four varieties) besecting N-acetylglucosamine. These groups were composed of species differing in the number of terminal galactose residues. The major component of the triantennary oligosaccharides was fully galactosylated with three galactose residues. An unusual group, Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc, was present in low levels in the triantennary oligosaccharides. In contrast, the tetraantennary oligosaccharide was composed of only one species, which is fully galactosylated with four galactose residues.  相似文献

Hamster sarcoma virus (HSV) transformation of Nil-8 fibroblasts is associated with an increase in the average size of N-acetyllactosamine (complex) type N-linked glycans due to an increase in both the average number of branches/chain and in the fraction of N-linked glycans containing poly(GlcNAc(beta 1,3) Gal-(beta 1,4)) (polylactosaminylglycan) chains. Analysis of glycopeptides from the envelope glycoproteins of Sindbis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) grown in Nil-8 and Nil/HSV cells indicated that the transformation-associated shift to larger N-linked oligosaccharides selectively affects some glycosylation sites far more than others. Glycosylation of the Sindbis virus glycoproteins and of Asn-179 of VSV G was similar in Nil-8 and Nil/HSV cells; oligosaccharide processing generally did not proceed beyond the biantennary complex stage. In contrast, Asn-336 of VSV G carried primarily biantennary complex glycans in Nil-8-grown virus (ratio, triantennary, and larger to biantennary complex glycans (tri+/bi) = 0.5) but more highly branched structures in Nil/HSV-grown virus (tri+/bi = 8.1). All of the triantennary or larger oligosaccharides from Asn-336 of Nil/HSV-grown VSV G bound to leukoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin-agarose, indicating the presence of a branch attached to the Man3GlcNAc2 core via a beta 1,6-linked GlcNAc residue and suggesting that increased UDP-GlcNAc:alpha-D-mannoside beta 1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase V (GlcNAc transferase V) activity accompanied transformation. At least 20% of these leukoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin-binding oligosaccharides were sensitive to an enzyme specific for polylactosaminylglycan chains, Escherichia freundii endo-beta-galactosidase.  相似文献

The N-glycosidically linked glycans in the large subunit (HA1) of the hemagglutinin from fowl plague virus, strain Dutch (containing about 15%, w/w, of carbohydrates), were liberated by alkaline hydrolysis, and were filtrated through Bio-Gel as the re-N-acetylated oligosaccharide alditols. One major fraction (90%, mol/mol) was obtained. It was subfractionated by concanavalin A affinity chromatography and was analyzed by methylation/capillary gas chromatography/mass fragmentography and especially by one-dimensional and two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. The major HA1 glycans, which are not sialylated, were thus found to comprise about 40%, 30% and 20% (mol/mol), respectively, of biantennary intersected, biantennary, and triantennary N-acetyllactosaminic ('complex') oligosaccharides. About two thirds of the internal GlcNAc residues in these glycans are substituted by Fuc(alpha 1----6), all the triantennary species carry the third Gal(beta 1----4)GlcNAc(beta 1----unit at the Man(alpha 1----6)-branch, and roughly one fourth of the N-acetyllactosamine units in the non-intersected biantennary oligosaccharides are incomplete.  相似文献

The variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of the ILTat 1.3 variant of Trypanosoma brucei has two asparagine-linked glycan moieties, as well as a phosphatidylinositol glycan membrane anchor. We have investigated the structure and processing of each of these oligosaccharides through analysis of the intact protein and of glycopeptides. Processing has been examined by comparing glycan structures purified from an immature intracellular form (58 kDa) of VSG with those of the mature form (59 kDa) found on the parasite surface. We find exclusively high mannose oligosaccharides (Man4-7-GlcNAc2) at Asn-432 in both the immature 58-kDa and mature 59-kDa forms. In contrast, the "core" oligosaccharide of Asn-419 (Man3-GlcNAc2) appears to be nearly quantitatively processed to a complex biantennary structure [Gal-GlcNAc-Man)2-Man-GlcNAc2) during VSG maturation. The asparagine-linked structures at Asn-419, but not those at Asn-432, are resistant to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H within 30 s of biosynthesis. This suggests possible novel and selective mechanisms for glycosylation in African trypanosomes. Finally, we show that the carboxyl-terminal glycolipid is galactosylated (3-4 residues) relatively late in VSG biosynthesis. Phosphatidylinositol glycans have been identified on a growing number of eukaryotic membrane proteins. This report provides a direct demonstration of the processing of such a glycolipid anchor following its attachment to protein.  相似文献

The oligosaccharides of microsomal beta-glucuronidase were analysed by gel permeation and weak anion exchange chromatography following hydrazine release. N-linked glycans, constituted 80% of the total glycan pool and were mainly of the tri- and biantennary complex type with or without core and arm fucose. The major oligosaccharide, that comprised 30.6% of all the species analysed, was structurally identified by reagent array analysis method and found to be a triantennary complex structure, Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,2Manalpha1,6(3)(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,4(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,2) Manalpha1,3(6))Manbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,4 GlcNAc. O-Linked glycans comprised 20% of the total glycan pool, the major species being Galbeta1,3GalNAc. All of the N- and O-linked glycans were charged. Most of the negative charge was due to sialic acid (85.0%) with the remainder being phosphate present as phosphomonoesters (7.3%) and phosphodiesters (5%). This is the first report of O-linked carbohydrate chains in microsomal beta-glucuronidase. The presence of O-linked glycans and branched N-linked glycans in a microsomal enzyme, in relation to the current view of glycosyltransferase compartmentalization in the Golgi is discussed.  相似文献

alpha 1-Antichymotrypsin purified from normal human serum was separated by affinity chromatography into th ree microheterogeneous forms on a concanavalin-A-Sepharose column: a pass-through (peak 1), a retarded (peak 2) and a bound form (peaks 3 + 4). For each form the asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains were liberated as oligosaccharides by hydrazinolysis, submitted to reduction with NaBH4 after re-N-acetylation and further separated by affinity chromatography on a concanavalin-A-Sepharose column. The complete primary structure of the glycans was determined by high-resolution 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The results indicated the presence of disialyl diantennary and of trisialyl triantennary type glycanic structures, the latter being accompanied by traces of disialylated triantennary oligosaccharide. The N-glycanase was used for the deglycosylation of the unfractionated alpha 1-antichymotrypsin; the successive removal of the N-linked complex-type oligosaccharide side chains of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin was studied in the presence of detergents. From these experiments it is concluded that alpha 1-antichymotrypsin carries four oligosaccharide side chains. Moreover our results show that the peak 1 contains four triantennary glycans, the peak 2 three triantennary and one diantennary glycans while the bound peaks 3 + 4 possess, on average, about one triantennary and three diantennary glycans per molecule. Since we showed that the peak 4 contains mostly diantennary glycans, it can be deduced that in peak 3 there are molecules carrying two triantennary and two diantennary glycans and others carrying one triantennary and three diantennary glycans.  相似文献

The uterine sarcoma human cell line MES-SA/Dx5 overexpresses the MDR1 gene product, P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Pgp is a heavily glycosylated, ATP-dependent drug efflux pump expressed in many human cancers. There are more than 150 known isoforms of Pgp, which complicates the characterization of Pgp glycans because each isoform could present a different glycome. The contribution of these oligosaccharides to the structure and function of Pgp remains unclear. We identified distinct Pgp glycans recognized by the lectins in the digoxigenin (DIG) glycan differentiation kit from Roche Allied Science, all of which were N-glycans. Pgp was isolated using both slab and preparative gel elution. The monoclonal antibody C219 was used to identify the presence of Pgp and Pgp treated with PNGase F on our blots. Pgp isolated from MES-SA/Dx5 cells contains at least two different complex N-glycans--one high mannose tree, detected by GNA, and one branched hybrid oligosaccharide-capped with terminal sialic acids, detected by SNA and MAA. DSA, specific for biantennary oligosaccharides possessing beta(1-4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues, also recognized the blotted Pgp and is probably detecting the core Galbeta(1-4)-GlcNAc(x) component found in other Pgps.  相似文献

Dramatic changes in glycan biosynthesis during oncogenic transformation result in the emergence of marker glycans on the cell surface. We analysed the N-linked glycans of L1CAM from different stages of melanoma progression, using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with exoglycosidase sequencing, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and lectin probes. L1CAM oligosaccharides are heavily sialylated, mainly digalactosylated, biantennary complex-type structures with galactose β1-4/3-linked to GlcNAc and with or without fucose α1-3/6-linked to GlcNAc. Hybrid, bisected hybrid, bisected triantennary and tetraantennary complex oligosaccharides, and β1-6-branched complex-type glycans with or without lactosamine extensions are expresses at lower abundance. We found that metastatic L1CAM possesses only α2-6-linked sialic acid and the loss of α2-3-linked sialic acid in L1CAM is a phenomenon observed during the transition of melanoma cells from VGP to a metastatic stage. Unexpectedly, we found a novel monoantennary complex-type oligosaccharide with a Galβ1-4Galβ1- epitope capped with sialic acid residues A1[3]G(4)2S2-3. To our knowledge this is the first report documenting the presence of this oligosaccharide in human cancer. The novel and unique N-glycan should be recognised as a new class of human melanoma marker. In functional tests we demonstrated that the presence of cell surface α2-3-linked sialic acid facilitates the migratory behaviour and increases the invasiveness of primary melanoma cells, and it enhances the motility of metastatic cells. The presence of cell surface α2-6-linked sialic acid enhances the invasive potential of both primary and metastatic melanoma cells. Complex-type oligosaccharides in L1CAM enhance the invasiveness of metastatic melanoma cells.  相似文献

Deglycosylation of asparagine-linked glycans by peptide:N-glycosidase F   总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48  
Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F (Endo F) and peptide:N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) were purified from cultures of Flavobacterium meningosepticum by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by gel filtration on TSK HW-55(S). This system separated the two enzymes and provided PNGase F in a high state of purity, but the basis for the resolution appeared to be hydrophobic interaction and not molecular size. Studies using purified Endo F and PNGase F with defined glycopeptides demonstrated that Endo F was somewhat similar to Endo H in that it hydrolyzed many, but not all, high-mannose and hybrid oligosaccharides, as well as complex biantennary oligosaccharides. PNGase F, in contrast, hydrolyzed all classes of asparagine-linked glycans examined, provided both the alpha-amino and carboxyl groups of the asparagine residue were in peptide linkage. Deglycosylation studies with PNGase F revealed that many proteins in their native conformation were susceptible to this enzyme but that prior denaturation in sodium dodecyl sulfate greatly decreased the amount of enzyme required for complete carbohydrate removal.  相似文献

Previous studies from this laboratory have established that lepidopteran insect cells possess the glycosylation machinery needed to assemble N-linked complex-type oligosaccharides on Asn289 of recombinant human plasminogen (r-HPg). In the present paper, we show that the nature of N289-linked glycosylation of [R561E]r-HPg expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (IPLB-SF-21AE) cells is dependent upon the length of time of infection of the cells with the recombinant baculovirus/HPg-cDNA construct. At the earliest postinfection (p.i.) time period studied, i.e., 0-20 h, virtually all (96%) of the oligosaccharides released with glycopeptidase F from N289 of the expressed r-HPg were of the high-mannose type and comprised nearly the full range of such structures, containing 3-9 mannose units. At a time window of 60-96 h, p.i., essentially all of the oligosaccharides (92% of the total) assembled on N289 of rHPg were of the biantennary, triantennary, and tetraantennary complex classes, with varying extents of outer arm completion. At an intermediate time period window, of 20-60 h, p.i., a mixture of complex-type oligosaccharides, totaling approximately 77% of the glycans, with various levels of branching and outer arm completion, and high-mannose type of oligosaccharides, totaling approximately 23% of the glycans, was assembled on N289 of the r-HPg produced. These studies demonstrate that lepidopteran insect cells contain the glycosyltransferase genes required for assembly of N-linked complex oligosaccharide and that these transferases are utilized under proper conditions. The time dependency of the assembly of complex-type oligosaccharides on r-HPg indicates that an activation of the appropriate glycosyl transferases and/or transferase genes can take place. Thus, one consequence of the infective process with the recombinant baculovirus/HPg-cDNA construct is to alter the normal glycosylation characteristics of insect cells and to allow complex-type oligosaccharide processing to occur.  相似文献

Ceruloplasmin has ferroxidase activity and plays an essential role in iron metabolism. In this study, a site-specific glycosylation analysis of human ceruloplasmin (CP) was carried out using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). A tryptic digest of carboxymethylated CP was subjected to LC-ESI-MS/MS. Product ion spectra acquired data-dependently were used for both distinction of the glycopeptides from the peptides using the carbohydrate B-ions, such as m/z 204 (HexNAc) and m/z 366 (HexHexNAc), and identification of the peptide moiety of the glycopeptide based on the presence of the b- and y-series ions derived from the peptide. Oligosaccharide composition was deduced from the molecular weight calculated from the observed mass of the glycopeptide and theoretical mass of the peptide. Of the seven potential N-glycosylation sites, four (Asn119, Asn339, Asn378, and Asn743) were occupied by a sialylated biantennary or triantennary oligosaccharide with fucose residues (0, 1, or 2). A small amount of sialylated tetraantennary oligosaccharide was detected. Exoglycosidase digestion suggested that fucose residues were linked to reducing end GlcNAc in biantennary oligosaccharides and to reducing end and/or alpha1-3 to outer arms GlcNAc in triantennary oligosaccharides and that roughly one of the antennas in triantennary oligosaccharides was alpha2-3 sialylated and occasionally alpha1-3 fucosylated at GlcNAc.  相似文献

The asparagine-linked sugar chains of rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) and its Fc and Fab fragments were quantitatively liberated from the polypeptide portions by hydrazinolysis followed by N-acetylation and NaB3H4 reduction. After fractionation by paper electrophoresis, lectin chromatography, and gel filtration, their structures were studied by sequential exoglycosidase digestion in combination with methylation analysis. Rabbit IgG was shown to contain 2.3 mol of asparagine-linked sugar chains per molecule distributed in both the Fc and Fab fragments. The sugar chains were of the biantennary complex type containing four cores: Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)(+/- GlcNAc beta 1----4)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4(+/- Fuc alpha 1----6)-GlcNAc. A total of 16 distinct neutral oligosaccharide structures was found after sialidase treatment. The galactose residue in the monogalactosylated oligosaccharides was present on either the alpha 1----3 or alpha 1----6 side of the trimannosyl core. The Fab fragments contained neutral, monosialylated, and disialylated oligosaccharides, whereas the Fc fragment contained only neutral and monosialylated structures. The oligosaccharides isolated from the Fab fragments also contained more galactose and bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residues than those from the Fc fragments.  相似文献

The extent of glycans heterogeneity in a pathological human immunoglobulin M ZAJ has been studied on oligosaccharides released by hydrazinolysis from the purified glycoprotein. After reduction with NaB3H4, asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains were separated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose into oligomannosidic and N-acetyllactosaminic types. Glycans of the oligomannosidic type were further fractionated by HPLC and those of the N-acetyllactosamine type by preparative high-voltage electrophoresis. The primary structure of the main oligosaccharides was investigated on the basis of micro-methylation analysis, mass spectrometry and sequential exo-glycosidase digestion. Glycans of the oligomannosidic type varied in size from Man5GlcNAc2 to Man9GlcNAc2. N-Acetyllactosaminic glycans were found of the biantennary, bisected-biantennary and triantennary types. They presented a higher degree of heterogeneity due to the presence of a variable number of NeuAc and fucose residues. The new structures we report here were in addition to the major biantennary one we previously described on the basis of methylation analysis and 500 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy (Cahour, A., Debeire, P., Hartmann, L., Montreuil, J., Van Halbeek, H. and Vliegenthart, J.F.G. (1984) FEBS Lett. 170, 343-349): NeuAc(alpha 2-6)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-2)Man(alpha 1-3)[Gal(beta 1-4)Glc-NAc(beta 1-2)Man(alpha 1-6)]Man(beta 1-4)]Glc-NAc(beta 1-4) [Fuc(alpha 1-6)]GlcNAc.  相似文献

Glycophorins, isolated from BALB/c mouse erythrocytes, were degraded under mild and strong reductive alkaline conditions and the N-linked oligosaccharides were isolated as alditols. The oligosaccharide alditols were fractionated and purified using gel filtration, concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and high-performance ion-exchange chromatography. Structural analysis was carried out by chemical analyses, periodate oxidation in combination with fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, and 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy. The results revealed the presence of sialylated biantennary, triantennary, and tetraantennary complex type oligosaccharides, all fucosylated at the innermost N-acetylglucosamine residue. The tri- and tetraantennary oligosaccharide-containing fractions also contained species elongated by one and/or two N-acetyllactosamine (-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-) sequences. The N-linked oligosaccharides were shown to be combined only with one (the low molecular weight) of the two mouse glycophorins.  相似文献

N-Linked biantennary and triantennary oligosaccharides containing multiple terminal GalNAc Le(x) (GalNAcss1-4[Fuc-alpha1-3]GlcNAc) determinants were radioiodinated and their pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and hepatic cellular localization were determined in mice. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed GalNAc Le(x) biantennary and triantennary oligosaccharides had a similar mean residence time and steady-state volume of distribution but differed in their total body clearance rate due a shorter alpha half-life for GalNAc Le(x) triantennary. Biodistribution and whole-body-autoradiography studies revealed that both GalNAc Le(x) terminated biantennary and triantennary oligosaccharides predominately targeted to the liver, which accumulated 72% and 79% of the dose 30 min after administration, respectively. Separation of mouse liver parenchymal from non-parenchymal cells demonstrated both N-glycans were almost exclusively (94%) taken up by the parenchymal cells. By comparison, GalNAc terminated biantennary and triantennary N-glycans accumulated in the liver with a targeting efficiency of 73% and 81%, respectively. It is concluded that GalNAc and GalNAc Le(x) terminated N-glycans are recognized in vivo with equivalent affinity by the murine hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor.  相似文献

Transglycosylation activity of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase HS (Endo HS) was investigated using native human transferrin as a donor of an asparagine-linked oligosaccharide and p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucose (PNP-beta-d-Glc) as an acceptor of the oligosaccharide. The amount of the product increased dependent on the concentration of the acceptors. Absorption spectrum, exoglycosidase digestion and matrix assisted laser desorption and ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass analysis of the transglycosylation product indicated that the asialobiantennary complex type oligosaccharide of human transferrin was transferred to PNP-beta-d-Glc. Endo HS also transferred the oligosaccharide of human transferrin to PNP-alpha-d-Glc, PNP-alpha-d-Gal, PNP-beta-d-Gal, PNP-beta-d-Man, PNP-beta-d-Xyl, PNP-beta-d-GlcNAc, and PNP-glycerol at a different rate. No apparent difference in the K(m) value for human transferrin as an oligosaccharide donor was observed using different acceptors, PNP-beta-d-Glc and PNP-glycerol. The amount of the transglycosylation product successively increased and became constant and then very slightly decreased during the course of enzyme reaction. Endo HS was also transferred the triantennary complex type oligosaccharide of calf fetuin and the bi-, tri-, and tetrantennary complex type oligosaccharides of human alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein to PNP-beta-d-Glc. Furthermore, Endo HS transferred an asparagine-linked oligosaccharide from a hen egg glycopeptide to PNP-beta-d-Glc. The results demonstrate that Endo HS can transfer a wide variety of asparagine-linked complex type oligosaccharides to various monosaccharides. Endo HS was distinct from other enzymes in the specificity for oligosaccharide donors and acceptors.  相似文献

Laminin, a high molecular weight (1,000,000) glycoprotein component of basement membranes, was isolated from the EHS murine tumor as a noncovalent complex with entactin by lectin affinity chromatography using the alpha-D-galactosyl binding lectin Griffonia simplicifolia I (GS I). Entactin was removed from this complex by passage over Sephacryl S-1000 in the presence of SDS. Compositional analysis showed that the affinity-purified laminin contained 25-30% carbohydrate by weight. Methylation analysis revealed that the oligosaccharides of laminin contained bi- and triantennary chains, the blood group I structure, and repeating sequences of 3Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc beta 1 units. Free oligosaccharides were derived from the asparagine-linked glycans of affinity-purified laminin by hydrazinolysis, re-N-acetylation, and reduction with NaB3H4. When fractionated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A (Con A)-Sepharose, 80% of the oligosaccharides passed through the column unretarded and a single peak corresponding to 20% of the oligosaccharides was adsorbed and specifically eluted with a linear gradient of 0-30 mM methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside. Further fractionation of the Con A reactive oligosaccharides on GS I-Sepharose demonstrated that 70% of these oligosaccharides possess at least one terminal nonreducing alpha-D-galactopyranosyl unit. The Con A reactive oligosaccharides were subjected to sequential digestion with endo- and exoglycosidases, and the reaction products were analyzed by gel filtration chromatography on a column of Bio-Gel P4. We thereby obtained evidence for a variety of structures not previously reported to exist on murine laminin including hybrid biantennary complex and biantennary complex structures containing poly(lactosaminyl) repeating units. The poly(lactosaminyl) units occur either on one or on both branches of the biantennary chains, as well as in more highly branched blood group I poly(lactosamine) structures. All sialic acid is present as N-acetylneuraminic acid linked alpha 2,3 to galactose.  相似文献

Complex typeN-linked oligosaccharides derived from fetuin, fibrinogen and thyroglobulin were coupled to acetyltyrosine affording a series of neoglycopeptides with retention of terminal structures and the -anomeric configuration of their reducing endN-acetylglycosamine residue. The neoglycopeptides thus synthesized could be labelled to high specific activities with125I in the aromatic side chain of tyrosine. Analysis of the fate of these neoglycopeptides in conjunction with inhibition with asialofetuin and oligosaccharides of defined structure in micein vivo revealed the uptake of galactosylated biantennary compound by kidneys, in addition to the known itinerary of triantennary galactosylated complex oligosaccharide from fetuin to liver and the galactosylated biantennary chain with fucosylation in the core to bone marrows. On the other hand, the agalacto, aglucosamino biantennary chains with and without fucosylation in the core region are taken up by submaxillary glands while the conserved trimannosyl core with fucose is primarily concentrated in stomach tissue. These studies thus define new routes for the uptake of complexN-linked glycans and also subserve to identify lectins presumably involved in their recognition.  相似文献
