Human HL 60 myeloid leukaemia ells have the potential to differentiateinto either macrophage-like cells or granulocyte-like cellsunder the stimulus of chemical treatments. Using glycotechnologyprocedures, the glycosylation patterns of differentiated andundifferentiated HL 60 cells were analysed and compared withthose of normal human peripheral monocytes. Both in vitro differentiationsresult in significant morphologic and functional changes, butwe observed that the glycosylation patterns of undifferentiatedand differentiated HL 60 cells exhibit several common glycosidicfeatures that are absent in normal peripheral monocytes: thepresence of (i) bisecting ß-N-acetylglucosamine attachedat the C-4 position of the ß-mannose of polyantennarycomplex-type carbohydrate chains and (ii) complex-type carbohydratechains enriched with non-reducing terminal ß-N-acetylglucosamineresidues. Moreover, the three populations of HL 60 cells expresssmall amounts of biantemary complex-type structures (<6%),whereas normal peripheral monocytes expressed >20% of suchstructures. Thus, the cell glycosylation pattern could reflectthe pathological state of the HL 60 cells. differentiation glycosylation HL 60 cell monocytes  相似文献

The protein encoded by the envelope gene of Friend spleen focus-formingvirus is responsible for the acute leukaemogenicity of thisvirus. In order to correlate glycosylation and intracellularprocessing of this protein with viral pathogenicity, envelopegene products of pathogenic and apathogenic glycosylation mutantswere expressed in Rat-1 cells and metabolically labelled with[6-3H] glucosamine. Following immunoprecipitation, primary andsecondary gene products (gp55, gp65) were separated by preparativepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Oligosaccharides were releasedfrom tryptic glycopeptides by treatment with endo-ß-N-acetylglucosaminidaseH (gp55), peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-ß-glucosaminyl)asparagineamidase F (gp65) or by reductive ß-elimination. Resultingglycans were characterized by cochromatography with authenticoligosaccharide standards using different HPLC systems and digestionwith exoglycosidases. The results revealed that the primaryenvelope gene products of pathogenic glycosylation mutants were,in part, further processed in Rat-1 cells similar to wild-typeglycoprotein, resulting in polypeptides carrying complex-typeN-glycans as well as partially sialylated O-linked oligosaccharides.In contrast, corresponding glycoproteins encoded by apathogenicmutants were found to remain at the level of the primary translationproduct exclusively comprising high-mannose-type N-glycans.Hence, intracellular maturation of the envelope gene productsin this model cell line seems to correlate with the in vivopathogenicityof the glycosylation mutants studied. carbohydrate structure glycoprotein murine leukaemia virus oligosaccharide processing SFFV  相似文献

The glycosylation pattern of the external envelope glycoproteinof human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) was studied independence on host cells and virus isolates. Strains HIV-2ALT,HIV-2ROD and HIV-2D194, differing in their biological propertiesand in the amino acid sequences of their env genes, were propagatedin MOLT4, HUT78 and U937 cells, in human peripheral blood lymphocytesand monocytes/macrophages in the presence of [6-3] glucosamine.Radiolabelled viral glycoproteins were isolated from the cell-freesupernatants and digested with trypsin. Glycans were sequentiallyliberated by endo-ß-N-acetylglucosaminidase H andpeptide-N4-(N-acetyl-ß-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidaseF, and fractionated according to charge and size. Comparisonof the oligosaccharide profiles revealed that the envelope glycoproteinsof different virus isolates, propagated in the same host cells,yielded very similar glycan patterns, whereas cultivation ofan isolate in different host cells resulted in markedly divergentoligosaccharide maps. Variations concerned the proportion ofhigh-mannose-, hybrid- and complex-type substituents, as wellas the state of charge and structural parameters of the complex-typespecies. As a characteristic feature, complex-type glycans ofmacrophage-derived viral glycoprotein were almost exclusivelysubstituted by lactosamine repeats. Hence, glycosylation ofthe HIV-2 external envelope glycoprotein seems to be primarilygoverned by host cell-specific factors rather than by the aminoacid sequence of the corresponding polypeptide backbone. envelope glycoprotein glycosylation human immunodeficiency virus type 2  相似文献

The biosynthesis of complex asparagine (N)-linked oligosaccharidesin vertebrates proceeds with the linkage of N-acetylglucosamine(GlcNAc) to the core mannose residues. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:ß-D-mannosideß1–4 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GlcNAc-TIII,EC2.4.1.144) catalyzes the addition of GlcNAc to the mannosethat is itself ß1–4 linked to underlying N-acetylglucosamine.GlcNAc-TIII thereby produces what is known as a ‘bisecting’GlcNAc linkage which is found on various hybrid and complexN-glycans. GlcNAc-TIII can also play a regulatory role in N-glycanbiosynthesis as addition of the bisecting GlcNAc eliminatesthe potential for  相似文献

The choice for a heterologous expression system to produce glycoproteintherapeutics highly depends on its potential to perform mammalian-likeposttranslational modifications such as glycosylation.

The flower-inducing activities in Lemna paucicostata 151 offour major metabolites of benzoic acid (N-benzoyl aspartate,benzyl 6-O-ß-D-apiofuranosyl-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside,O-benzoyl isocitrate and O-benzoyl malate) were measured, andthe effects on the uptake and metabolism of benzoic acid dueto change in the level of the benzoic acid concentration orto the addition of plant hormones were investigated. N-Benzoylaspartate had weak activity, and O-benzoyl isocitrate and malatehad fairly strong activities, while benzyl 6-O-ß-D-apiofuranosyl-ß-D-glucopyranosideshowed no activity. As the concentration of benzoic acid rose,the ratio of N-benzoyl aspartate increased and that of benzyl6-O-ß-D-apiofuranosyl-O-ß-D-glucopyranosidedecreased. GA3 and IAA, inhibitors of flower induction by benzoicacid, seemed to promote conversion to N-benzoyl aspartate insteadof to benzyl 6-O-ß-D-apiofuranosyl-ß-D-glucopyranoside.The conversion to N-benzoyl aspartate was considered to be adetoxification process and that to benzyl 6-O-ß-D-apiofuranosyl-ß-D-glucopyranosidemay be directly related to flower induction in Lemna.

Enzymatic analysis of oligosaccharides using exoglycosidaseshas become a powerful tool for determining the sequence andstructure of sugar chains. The principal limitation to thesemethods has been the lack of highly purified and wellcharacterizedenzymes. Using fluorescently labelled carbohydrate substratesand TLC, we have developed a method to identify glycosidaseswith novel specificities. This screening method led to the discoverythat bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas are a rich source ofexoglycosidases. From Xanthomonas manihotis, eight novel exoglyccosidaseshave been isolated and characterized. A novel ß-N-acetylglucosaminidasehas been purified that, unlike those previously described, willcleave N-acetylglactosamine without cleaving N-acetylgalactosamineresidues. A novel ß-galactosidase has been isolatedthat preferentially hydrolyses ß(1  相似文献

We previously reported that I-cell disease lymphoblasts maintainnormal or near-normal intracellular levels of lysosomal enzymes,even though N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase activityis severely depressed or absent (Little et al., Biochem. J.,248, 151–159, 1987). The present study, employing subcellularfractionation on colloidal silica gradients, indicates thatboth light and heavy lysosomes isolated from I-cell diseaseand pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy lymphoblasts possess normalspecific activity levels of N-acetyl-ß-D-hexosaminidase,-D-mannosidase and ß-D-glucuronidase. These currentfindings are in contrast to those of cultured fibroblasts fromthe same patients, where decreased intralysosomal enzyme activitiesare found. Column chromatography on Ricinus communis revealedthat N-acetyl-ß-D-hexosaminidase in both heavy andlight I-cell disease lysosomal fractions from lymphoblasts possessesan increased number of accessible galactose residues (30–50%)as compared to the enzyme from the corresponding normal controls.Endo-ß-N-acetylglucos-aminidase H treatment of N-acetyl-ß-D-hexosaminidasefrom the I-cell lysosomal fractions suggests that the majorityof newly synthesized high-mannose-type oligosaccharide chainsare modified to complex-type carbohydrates prior to being transportedto lysosomes. This result from lymphoblasts differs from previousfindings with fibroblasts, where N-acetyl-ß-D-hexosaminidasefrom I-cell disease and pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy lysosomesexhibited properties associated with predominantly high-mannose-typeoligosaccharide chains. The current results imply that differentcell types may modify the carbohydrate side chains of lysosomalenzymes in a differential manner, and that selected cell typesmay also employ mechanisms other than the mannose-6-phosphatepathway for targeting lysosomal enzymes to lysosomes.

UDP-GlcNAc: GalNAc-R ß3-GlcNAc-transferase (core 3ß3-GlcNAc-T, where GlcNAc is N-acetyl-D-glucosamine,GalNAc is N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and T is transferase) isexpressed in a tissue-specific fashion and is high in normalcolonic tissue, but downregulated in colon cancer. To furtherstudy the control of this enzyme, we examined the activity inpig, rat and human colonic tissues, and several human cancercell lines. The enzyme was difficult to solubilize by detergentsand was extremely unstable in the solubilized form. Using syntheticderivatives of the GalNAc-R substrate, we showed that the specificityof the enzyme in normal rat and human colonic mucosa requiresall the substituents of the GalNAc-sugar ring of substratesfor maximal activity. Core 3 ß3-GlcNAc-T was significantlyinfluenced by the structure of the aglycon group. None of theinactive substrate derivatives could inhibit the activity. N-Iodoacetamido-galactosamine  相似文献

-Mannosidase and ß-N-acetylglucosaminidase were purifiedfrom extracts of cotyledons of germinating Pisum sativum L.A 13-fold purification of a-mannosidase free from ß-N-acetylglucosaminidaseactivity was achieved by precipitation in ammonium sulphate,column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, and treatment with2 M pyridine. ß-N-Acetylglucosaminidase was purified200-fold by the use of (NH4)2SO4, and chromatography on ConcanavalinA1-Sepharose and Sephacryl-200. This preparation showed no measurablecontamination by -mannosidase activity. Both glycosidases appearto be glycoproteins and demonstrate optimal activity at pH valuesof 4.0–4.5. Both glycosidases appear to have very similarmolecular weights, with -mannosidase being slightly larger thanß-N-acetylglucosaminidase. An extensive search forthe activity of aspartylglycosylamine amido hydrolase in peacotyledons proved unsuccessful.  相似文献

Alterations of O-glycan biosynthesis in human colon cancer tissues   总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2  
Human colon cancer is associated with antigenic and structuralchanges in mucin-type carbohydrate chains (O-glycans). To elucidatethe control of the biosynthesis of these O-glycans in coloncancer, we have studied glycosyltransferase and sulphotransferaseactivities involved in the assembly of elongated O-glycan structures.We analysed homogenates prepared from cancer tissue, adjacentnormal and distal normal tissue from 20 patients. Several transferaseactivities showed pronounced changes in cancer tissue. The changescorrelate with previous findings of a loss of O-glycans in cancermucins, but did not always correlate with levels of Tn, sialyl-Tn,T and Lex antigens in homogenates or with the differentiationstatus and Duke's stages of the cancer tissue or the patient'sblood type, sex and age.

The degradation of chitin involves a diverse array of enzymes,some with overlapping substrate specificities. In order to distinguishbetween different types of enzymes, specific substrates areneeded. Toward this end, two new fluorogenic substrates containingthio-glycosidic linkages, 4-methylumbelliferyl N,N'-diacetyl-4-thio-ß-chitobioside(Mu-TCB) and N,N',N'-triacetyl-4,4'-dithio-ß- chitotrioside(Mu-TCT) are described. The substitution of the glycosidic oxygens(except the one that links oligosaccharide with the fluorogenicaglycon) with a sulfur atom resulted in resistance of thesecompounds to N-acetyl-hexosaminidases while they were specificsubstrates for the newly discovered chitodextrinase from Vibriofurnissii (Keyhani,N.O. and Roseman,S. (1996) J. Biol. Chem.,271, 33414–33424) and some bacterial chitinases. The enzymekinetics of these 4-S-linked substrates, Mu-TCB and MuTCT, aswell as the O-linked 4-methylumbelliferyl N,N'diacetyl-ß-chitobioside(Mu-CT) and N,N',N'-triacetyl-ß-chitotrioside (Mu-CT)with the chitodextrinase were studied and compared. The usefulnessof the substrates for screening for chitodextrinase and/or chitinaseactivity was demonstrated. chitodextrinase chitinase fluorometric assay 4-methylumbelliferyl glycoside thiochitooligosaccharide  相似文献

The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides from an adult femalemouse submandibular gland mucin were released by treatment withpeptide-N4-(N-acetyl-ß-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidaseF or endo-ß-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. Endo-ß-N-acetylglucosaminidaseH appeared to be more effective at releasing the asparagine-linkedoligosaccharides from this mucin than was peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-ß-glucosaminyl)-asparagineamidase F. After quantitative reductive labelling with the fluorophore,8-aminonaphthalene-1, 3, 6-sulphonic acid, the oligosaccharideswere separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isolated.The individual oligosaccharides were sequenced by a batteryof recombinant exoglycosidases. Approximately 50% of the oligosaccharideswere of the high-mannose type. The five-mannose member of thisfamily was the most prevalent. The second group of oligosaccharideswere of the non-bisected hybrid type. No complex asparagine-linkedoligosaccharides were detected. The hybrids exhibited both biantennaryand triantennary branching patterns. The triantennary hybridwas the most common hybrid at >30% of all oligosaccharides.With 98% of the hybrid oligosaccharides sialylated and all lackinga bisecting N-acetylglucosamine, these oligosaccharides as agroup have been only rarely observed in other glycoproteins.The fully sialylated triantennary hybrid may be unique. asparagine-linked oligosaccharides biantennary salivary mucin sialylated hybrid triantennary  相似文献

ß-Tubulins from fourteen benomyl-resistant strainsof the homobasidiomycete Coprinus cinereus, which carry thebenA, benB, benC or benD mutations, were analyzed by urea SDS-PAGEor isoelectric focusing and subsequent immunoblot analysis.Electrophoretic aberrations in a major ß-tubulin isotype,denoted ß1 were found in two strains, BEN154 and BEN215,both of which carry benomyl resistance mutations in benA + Theaberrations of ß1 in BEN154 and BEN215 cosegregatedwith benomyl resistance among the progeny of outcrosses of BEN154 and BEN215 to wild type, indicating that the ß1aberrations were caused by the benA mutations. Both the mutantand wild-type ß1 tubulins were present in the heterozygousdikaryons, BEN 154/wild-type and BEN215/wild-type, ruling outpost-translational modification as a possible cause for theaberrations in ß1. Thus, we conclude that benA isa structural gene for ß1. Transhyphal migration ofnuclei in dikaryosis was blocked in the mycelia of BEN 154 andin its progeny that carried benA (ß1 mutation), demonstratingthat microtubules are involved in the migration process. Nuclearmigration in dikaryosis seems to differ in terms of mechanism,at least in part, from the migration of tetrad nuclei from basidiainto prespores during formation of basidiospores and from themigration of nuclei from basidiospores into hyphae during germination,because a benA mutation blocked the former without affectingthe latter two processes.

Increasing ß-amylase activity in wheat (Triticum aestlvum,var. Star) seedling shoot tissues was consistently accompaniedby the development of a characteristic polymorphism of the enzyme,as shown by electrophoresis employing amylopectin-containingpolyacrylamide gels. Very young shoot tissue contained one principalform of the enzyme (ß1), whereas two other major forms(ß2, ß3) appeared complementary to thisupon further growth. In vitro incubation experiments indicatedthat the polymorphism arose via a probably proteolytic conversionof ß1 into ß2 and ß3. The conversioninvolved neither an activation of ß-amylase nor asignificant modification of ß-amylase component plvalues. The electrophoretic ß-amylase patterns ofsubcellular leaf compartments suggested that ß1 issynthesized in the cytoplasm of leaf mesophyfi cells and thatthe other forms arise upon transfer of this ‘primary’form into the vacuole. The development of shoot ß-amylaseactivity did not require light, but appeared to be under thenegative control of the chloroplast and was stimulated by mineralnutrients. No clear relationship between ß-amylaseactivity and starch metabolism was evident, since the leaf activitywas largely absent from mesophyll protoplasts, could not beunequivocally demonstrated in the mesophyll chioroplasts, anddeveloped regardless of whether the tissues contained significantamounts of starch or not.

Glycosylation is an important posttranslational modificationin proteins, and aberrant glycosylation occurs in malignancies.Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormoneproduced in high concentrations during pregnancy. It is alsoexpressed as particular glycoforms by certain malignancies.These glycoforms, which are called "hyperglycosylated" hCG (hCGh),have been reported to contain more complex glycan moieties.We have analyzed tryptic glycopeptides of the ß-subunitof hCG of various origins by liquid chromatography (LC) connectedto an electrospray mass spectrometer. Site-specific glycan structureswere visualized by the use of differential expression analysissoftware. hCGß was purified from urine of two patientswith testicular cancer, one with choriocarcinoma, one with aninvasive mole, two pregnant women at early and late gestation,from a pharmaceutical preparation and culture medium of a choriocarcinomacell line. N-glycans at Asn-13 and Asn-30 as well as O-glycansat Ser-121, Ser-127, Ser-132, and Ser-138 were characterized.In all samples, the major type of N-glycan was a biantennarycomplex-type structure, but triantennary structures linked toAsn-30 as well as fucosylation of the Asn-13-bound glycan areincreased in cancer-derived hCGß. There were significantsite-specific differences in the O-glycans, with constant core-2glycans at Ser-121, core-1 glycans at Ser-138, and putativesites unoccupied by any glycan. Core-2 glycans at either Ser-127or Ser-132 were enriched in cancer. The glycans of free hCGßwere larger and had a higher fucose content of Asn-13-linkedoligosaccharides than intact hCG. This may facilitate the detectionof this malignancy-associated variant by a lectin assay. Analysisof hCGh affinity purified with antibody B152 confirmed thatthis antibody recognizes a core-2 glycan on Ser-132.  相似文献

Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is the vasopressin-sensitive water channel that regulates water reabsorption in the distal nephron collecting duct. Inherited AQP2 mutations that disrupt folding lead to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) by targeting newly synthesized protein for degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). During synthesis, a subset of wild-type (WT) AQP2 is covalently modified by N-linked glycosylation at residue Asn123. To investigate the affect of glycosylation, we expressed WT AQP2 and four NDI-related mutants in Xenopus laevis oocytes and compared stability of glycosylated and nonglycosylated isoforms. In all constructs, 15–20% of newly synthesized AQP2 was covalently modified by N-linked glycosylation. At steady state, however, core glycosylated WT protein was nearly undetectable, whereas all mutants were found predominantly in the glycosylated form (60–70%). Pulse-chase metabolic labeling studies revealed that glycosylated isoforms of mutant AQP2 were significantly more stable than their nonglycosylated counterparts. For nonglycosylated isoforms, the half-life of WT AQP2 was significantly greater (>48 h) than that of mutant AQP2 (T126M 4.1 ± 1.0 h, A147T 4.2 ± 0.60 h, C181W 4.5 ± 0.50 h, R187C 6.8 ± 1.2 h). This is consistent with rapid turnover in the ER as previously reported. In contrast, the half-lives of mutant proteins containing N-linked glycans were similar to WT (25 h), indicating that differences in steady-state glycosylation profiles are caused by increased stability of glycosylated mutant proteins. These results suggest that addition of a single N-linked oligosaccharide moiety can partially compensate for ER folding defects induced by disease-related mutations. endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation; nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; oocytes  相似文献

A novel carbohydrate-rich sialoglycopeptide of apparent molecularmass $$$6 kDa was isolated from the fertilized eggs of Fundulusheteroclitus (euryhaline killi fish). This glycopeptide is amember of the L-hyosophorin family, characterized by its highcontent of carbohydrate (80–90% by weight) and formedby depolymerization of the precursor glycopolyprotein (H-hyosophorin)upon fertilization. The structures of the N-glycan chains wereunambiguously established by a combination of compositionalanalysis, methylation analysis, selective chemical degradation(periodate oxidation-Smith degradation and hydrazinolysis-nitrousacid deamination), enzymatic (peptide:N-g]ycosidase F, severalß-galactosidases, (ß-hexosaminidase and  相似文献
