A glycoprotein (GP72) has been isolated from Trypanosoma cruzi and found to contain 41% protein, 49% carbohydrate and 10% phosphate. All phosphate was covalently attached to the carbohydrate which contained the following sugars: ribose, xylose, fucose, galactose, mannose, glucose and glucosamine. The carbohydrate side chains were linked to protein by fucose, xylose and N-acetylglucosamine; 50% of the total N-acetylglucosamine was involved in glycoprotein linkages. Two classes of carbohydrate side chains were detected. One class comprised 15% of the total carbohydrate and contained glucosamine, mannose and galactose; some of these chains were phosphorylated. The other class comprised 85% of the total carbohydrate and contained xylose, ribose, fucose, galactose, mannose, glucosamine and phosphate; these chains were antigenic and reacted with a monoclonal antibody with specificity for the whole glycoprotein. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein H is a single chain polypeptide composed of 326 amino acids highly glycosylated. Its carbohydrate content is approximately 19% of the molecular weight. We show that it is rich in sialic acid linked alpha (2-6) to galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine. Sialic acid is not alpha (2-3) linked to galactose. Galactose is beta (1-4) linked to N-acetylglucosamine and beta (1-3) linked to N-acetylgalactosamine. Carbohydrate O-linked chains (mainly sialic acid) are alpha (2-6) linked to galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine. Galactose is also organised in O-linked chains and beta (1-4) linked to N-acetylglucosamine and beta (1-3) linked to acetylgalactosamine. Concanavalin A lectin was used to isolate two groups of apolipoprotein H molecules bearing biantennary and truncated hybrids and high mannose and hybrid oligosaccharides. Apolipoprotein H fails to bind lysine-Sepharose. Our results thus show that it presents truncated hybrid or hybrid-type carbohydrate chains which bear few unmasked mannose residues as a terminal sugar. Biochemical analysis of carbohydrate structures conducted on single isoforms separated through IEF revealed that no specific carbohydrate complex is bound to a single isoform. 相似文献

Rats treated with daily injection of DL-isoproterenol for 10 consecutive days (25 mg kg1 body weight) showed marked induction
of a proline-rich glycoprotein (GPRP) of 220 kDa. Proteinase K digestion of GPRP produced a homogeneous glycopeptide with
an average chemical composition as follows (residues per mol): Pro4, Glx3, Asx2, Gly1, His1, Thr1, Arg1, GlcNAc5, GalNac1,
Man3, Gal2–3, and Fuc1. The structural analysis of the asparagine-linked carbohydrate unit was performed by methylation, periodate
oxidation and enzymatic degradation. Methylation studies indicated that the three mannosyl residues were substituted at 1,2-,
1,2,4-, and 1,3,6-positions. Fucose, N-acetylgalactosamine, 1.5 residues of galactose and 0.35 residues of N-acetylglucosamine
were terminally located and one galactose residue was 1,4-substituted. Approximately four of the 5 N-acetylglucosamine residues
were substituted at 1,4-position and approximately 1 residue of N-acetylglucosamine was substituted at 1,4,6-positions. Periodate
oxidation studies and exoglycosidase results were consistent with the methylation data. Based on the results of Smith degradation,
methylation and sequential exoglycosidase digestions a triantennary oligosaccharide structure having terminal N-acetylgalactosamine
in one of the branches is proposed for the major Asn-linked carbohydrate moiety of GPRP.

The CH2-linked glycoform of rheumatoid IgG is abnormal in having a reduced galactose content. This has been postulated to be a synthetic defect due to a decrease in the level of rheumatoid B cell galactosyltransferase. However, more recent work has indicated that agalactosylation may be common to chronic inflammatory diseases. In this work we have investigated the effect of oxygen free radicals (OFRs), which are generated by activated phagocytic cells at inflammatory sites, on the carbohydrate moiety of IgG. Radiolytically generated peroxy (ROO.) and hydroxyl radicals (OH.) but not superoxide anion radicals (O2.-) were found to destroy galactose on IgG. After OH. attack, this was associated with an increase in the availability of N-acetylglucosamine, possibly due to its presence as a terminal residue. These results suggest that the agalactosylation associated with chronic inflammation may not only be synthetic in nature, but may also be a consequence of post-synthetic degradation by OFRs. 相似文献

A simple purification method for human plasma α-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) using an ion-exchange and hydroxyapatite column was developed. The recovery of the method was found to be high. We also improved a determination method for N-acetylneuraminic acid and monosaccharides in the carbohydrate moiety of AAG by using an ion-exchange column and pulse-amperometric detection. By this method, a composition analysis of the carbohydrate moiety of AAG (N-acetylneuraminic acid, fucose, N-acetyl glucosamine, galactose and mannose) was possible with 1.0 ml of plasma. We compared these carbohydrate concentrations in the AAG of patients with renal insufficiency with those of healthy subjects. In the AAG of the patients, the concentrations of N-acetylglucosamine, galactose and mannose were significantly higher than those in the AAG of the healthy subjects. 相似文献

Human serum low density lipoprotein (d = 1.027-1.045) was delipidated with organic solvents and the apoprotein digested with thermolysin. The digest was fractionated by gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Two glycopeptides were obtained. One of the glycopeptides (GP-I) contained 2 residues of N-acetylglucosamine and 6 residues of mannose per mole of the glycopeptide, while the other contained 2 sialic acid, 5 mannose, 2 galactose, and 3 N-acetylglucosamine residues per mole of glycopeptide. The results of sequential enzymatic digestion with purified glycosidases, periodate oxidation, and partial acid hydrolysis lead us to propose the following sturctures for the two glycopeptides: (see article). These glycopeptides represent at least 50% of the carbohydrate moiety of LDL. 相似文献

A major periodate--Schiff-positive component from milk-fat-globule membrane of human breast milk has been purified by selectively extracting the membrane glycoproteins, followed by lectin affinity chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 in the presence of protein-dissociating agents. The purified glycoprotein, termed epithelial membrane glycoprotein (EMGP-70), has an estimated mol.wt. of 70 000 and yields a single band under reducing conditions on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The glycoprotein contains 13.5% carbohydrate by weight, with fucose, mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid 17.2, 17.0, 21.1, 7.9 and 36.6% respectively of the carbohydrate moiety. Aspartic and glutamic acid and serine are the major amino acid residues. 相似文献

Galactose was specifically inserted into the carbohydrate moiety of rhodopsin by incubating retinal disk membranes with UDP-galactose: N-acetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase. The stoichiometry of labeling ranged from 1.2 to 1.8 (average = 1.5) residues of galactose per molecule of rhodopsin, indicating that some or all of the oligosaccharide chains of membrane-bound rhodopsin are readily accessible to enzymatic modification. These modified membranes were treated with galactose oxidase to generate an aldehyde at the C-6 position of the inserted galactose units. The enzymatically-oxidized membranes were then reacted with dansyl hydrazide to yield a fluorescent hydrazone which is sufficiently stable to permit spectroscopic analysis. This procedure for the specific attachment of a spectroscopic probe should be applicable to a wide variety of membrane glycoproteins. 相似文献

Mannose-rich glycopeptides derived from brain glycoproteins were recovered by affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A-Sepharose. These glycopeptides, which adsorb to the lectin and are eluted with alpha-methylmannoside, constitute about 25--30% of the total glycopeptide material recovered from rat brain glycoproteins. They contain predominately mannose and N-acetylglucosamine (mannose/N-acetylglucosamine = 3), as well as small amounts of galactose and fucose. Approx. 65% of the Concanavalin A-binding glycopeptide carbohydrate was recovered after treatment with leucine aminopeptidase, gel filtration on Biogel P-4, and ion-exchange chromatography on coupled Dowex 50-hydrogen and Dowex 1-chloride columns. The purified glycopeptide fraction contained six mannose and two N-acetylglucosamine residues per aspartic acid and possessed an apparent molecular weight of about 2000 as assessed by gel filtration and amino acid analysis. Galactose and fucose were absent. Treatment of the purified glycopeptides with alpha-mannosidase drastically reduced their affinity for Concanavalin A, suggesting the presence of one or more terminal mannose residues. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated by the immunoperoxidase method the presence of a chicken heterophile antigenic determinant (CHAD-1) in medullary lymphocytes of the bursa of Fabricius and thymus as well as in some nonlymphoid cells. It has been found that the anti-CHAD-1 antibody could be neutralized by absorption with several glycoproteins or glycopeptides containing highly branched, asparagine-linked oligosaccharides terminating in N-acetylglucosamine residues. In the present study, fetuin, desialo-fetuin, and a series of 27 highly purified oligosaccharides with well-defined structures were used to investigate the chemical composition and fine structure of the CHAD-1 epitope. It was shown that anti-CHAD-1 antibody binds to oligosaccharides with at least three terminal N-acetyl glucosamine residues at the nonreducing end. These residues may be linked beta 1-2, beta 1-4, or beta 1-6 to one, two, or three different mannose residues. The antibody combining site accommodates at least four carbohydrate residues. Oligosaccharides containing five or six terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues at the nonreducing end demonstrated the highest immunoreactivity with the anti-CHAD-1 antibody. Substitution of terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues with galactose, or with galactose and sialic acid, masks CHAD-1. On the basis of this work, epitopes that react with the anti-CHAD-1 antibody will be renamed terminal N-acetylglucosamine cluster antigens (TGCA). Anti-TGCA antibody has potential use in the monitoring of biosynthetic processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides and in studies of their cellular distribution and functions. 相似文献

We have examined the carbohydrate composition of corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) obtained from rat and human serum. Rat CBG contained a carbohydrate composition that was strikingly different from that of human CBG. Like other glycoproteins that circulate in human plasma, human CBG had a carbohydrate composition that was consistent with the presence of biantennary and triantennary oligosaccharide structures. In contrast, the carbohydrate composition of rat CBG indicated the presence of more than one sialic acid residue per antenna. It is not clear whether rat CBG contains a carbohydrate structure with sialic acids attached to both galactose and N-acetylglucosamine on the same antenna, or a terminal disialylated structure (sialic acid linked alpha 2-8 to sialic acid). These structural variations may play a role in the interaction of CBG with its receptor. 相似文献

Two individual glycoprotein components from human milk-fat-globule membranes (MFGM) has been purified by selectively extracting the membrane glycoproteins followed by lectin affinity chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 in the presence of protein-disaggregating agents. The purified glycoprotein components, termed 'epithelial-membrane glycoprotein' (EMGP-155 and EMGP-39) have estimated molecular weights of 155 000 and 39 000 respectively, and yield a single band under reducing conditions on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gel. EMGP-155 and EMGP-39 contain 21.0% and 7.0% carbohydrate by weight, with fucose (13.5%, 12.4%), mannose (3.7%, 6.2%), galactose (28.5%, 22.6%), N-acetylglucosamine (17.8%, 7.4%) and sialic acid (36.4%, 51.4%) of the carbohydrate moiety respectively. For both the glycoprotein components, aspartic and glutamic acid and serine are the major amino acid residues. 相似文献

The major urinary trypsin inhibitor (Mr 44 000), isolated from human urine, contains 35% carbohydrate. In addition to N-acetylglucosamine and neutral sugars (primarily mannose and galactose), the carbohydrate moiety contains hexuronic acid and N-acetylgalactosamine and corresponds to a glycosaminoglycan. This carbohydrate chain is an integral component of the inhibitor: it does not dissociate from the inhibitor when using dissociative conditions such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, guanidinium chloride, or by increasing ionic strength or mixing with cetylpyridinium chloride. This glycosaminoglycan chain is sensitive to chondroitinase ABC or testicular hyaluronidase digestion and corresponds to slightly sulfated chondroitin 4-sulfate or 6-sulfate. After treatment by these enzymes, the urinary inhibitor has a lower molecular mass (Mr 26 000) but still inhibits trypsin. 相似文献

The major glycoprotein of the bovine erythrocyte membrane was purified by extraction of the ghosts with lithium 3,5-diiodosalicylate followed by phenol-water extraction and acidification. The glycoprotein contains 20% protein and 80% carbohydrate by weight and gives a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with an estimated molecular weight of 230000 daltons. The carbohydrate composition of the glycoprotein was determined to be (in residues relative to sialic acid): sialic acid, 1.0; fucose, less than 0.01; mannose, 0.1; galactose, 3.3; N-acetylgalactosamine, 0.9; and N-acetylglucosamine, 2.4. Pronase digestion of the isolated glycoprotein followed by Sephadex G-75 gel filtration resulted in the separation of a small pool of glycopeptides (pool III), which included all of the mannose-containing glycopeptides, from the bulk of the glycopeptide material which was in the void fractions of the column (pool I). Alkaline borohydride treatment released over 95% of the oligosaccharide units in pool I and approximately 30% of the oligosaccharide units in pool III. These oligosaccharides were isolated by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The oligosaccharides released from pool I had molecular weights of 1100-1400 daltons and contained sialic acid, galactose, and N-acetylglucosamine in molar ratios of 0.5-1:3:2 as well as a partial residue of N-acetylgalactosaminitol. The oligosaccharides released from pool III by alkali had molecular weights of 1300-1600 daltons and contained sialic acid, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-ACETYLgalactosaminitol in molar ratios of 1-2:2:1:1:1. These data indicate that the majority of the oligosaccharide units of the bovine erythrocyte glycoprotein are linked O-glycosidically to the peptide backbone of the molecule. 相似文献

Alpha-1-protease inhibitor, (alpha-1-PI), the major inhibitor of serine proteases in human plasma, has three asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains located at positions 46, 83 and 247. The protein has a microheterogeneity which is seen on isoelectric focusing and which is a result of whether the various carbohydrate chains are in bi- or tri-antennary forms. Tri-antennary enriched forms of alpha-1-PI are associated with inflammation. By using a combination of three methods, reductive salting out, Sepharose-bound Concanavalin A affinity chromatography, and Sepharose-bound anhydrochymotrypsin, biologically active alpha-1-PI was obtained in tri-antennary enriched and tri-antennary depleted forms. These preparations should be useful for studies on the physiological role of the carbohydrate moiety in alpha-1-PI. 相似文献

A glycoprotein that circulates in human blood, binds to the surface of platelets and white cells and also binds serotonin with high affinity and specificity has previously been purified and partially characterized. This glycoprotein has been called serotonectin. Antibodies raised against serotonectin inhibited the uptake of [3H]serotonin by platelets. We now report on the amino acid and carbohydrate composition of this protein as well as on some of the properties of the protein from which the carbohydrate moiety was removed. Serotonectin (apparent molecular weight 200 000; as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is an acidic protein that contains about 13% carbohydrate (w/w) consisting of mannose, galactose, glucosamine and sialic acid in a molar ratio of 2:1:4:0.8. Initial characterization suggests that serotonectin is a sialoglycoprotein of complex-type oligosaccharide N-linked to asparagine through N-acetylglucosamine. Treatment of serotonectin with neuraminidase resulted in a quantitative release of sialic acid without loss of antigenicity or binding capacity for [3H]serotonin. Treatment of desialylated serotonectin under non-denaturing conditions with almond glycopeptidase A resulted in 60-80% release of sugar. The protein moiety of the glycopeptidase-digested material showed no change in the capacity to bind [3H]serotonin and exhibited the same antigenic properties as untreated serotonectin. These data show the non-involvement of the carbohydrate moiety of human serotonectin in the mechanism of binding serotonin but the possible contribution of this moiety to a tighter interaction with the serotonectin receptor. 相似文献

Alkaline hydrolysis followed by deamination with nitrous acid was applied for the first time to a glycoprotein, human plasma alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid). This procedure, which specifically cleaves the glycosaminidic bonds, yielded well-defined oligosaccharides. The trisaccharides, which were obtained from the native protein, consisted of a sialic acid derivative, galactose and 2,5-anhydromannose. The linkage between galactose and 2,5-anhydromannose is most probably a (1-->4)-glycosidic bond. A hitherto unknown linkage between N-acetylneuraminic acid and galactose was also established, namely a (2-->2)-linkage. The three linkages between sialic acid and galactose described in this paper appear to be about equally resistant to mild acid hydrolysis. The disaccharide that was derived from the desialized glycoprotein consisted of galactose and 2,5-anhydromannose. Evidence was obtained for the presence of a new terminal sialyl-->N-acetylglucosamine disaccharide accounting for approximately 1mol/mol of protein. The presence of this disaccharide may explain the relatively severe requirements for the complete acid hydrolysis of the sialyl residues. The present study indicates that alkaline hydrolysis followed by nitrous acid deamination in conjunction with gas-liquid chromatography will afford relatively rapid determination of the partial structure of the complex carbohydrate moiety of glycoproteins. 相似文献

Aglycosylantibody. Effects of exoglycosidase treatments on autochthonous antibody survival time in the circulation. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Rabbit anti-hapten antibodies were purified by affinity chromatography and characterized immunochemical for in vivo studies of their blood clearance rate and organ distribution after treatment with various glycosidases. Following sequential removal of sialic acid, galactose, and N-acetylglucosamine with the appropriate cellulose-immobilized exoglycosidases, the antibody populations were recharacterized, radiolabeled, and introduced intravenously into the original animals. Using double radioiodine lables it was possible to demonstrate alterations in purified antibody survival times in the circulation and altered organ distribution after glycolytic cleavage. Removal of terminal sialic acid resulted in rapid blood clearance and enhanced localization of asialoantibody in the liver. Subsequent removal of penultimate galactose residues returned both antibody survival time in the circulation and organ distribution to near normal. Removal of subpenultimate N-acetylglucosamine moieties resulted in aglycosylantibody survival values which were intermediate between asialo- and asialoagalactoantibodies. Removal of the three saccharide also increased kidney localization. The results are evaluated based on current concepts of the biological roles of protein-linked carbohydrate and plasma glycoprotein survival time in the circulation. 相似文献

Human factor V was subjected to desialation and deglycosylation to investigate the function of the molecular carbohydrate moiety. Removal of 90% of the sialic acid residues resulted in a 1.5-2-fold increase in clotting activity, and up to 70% deglycosylation in a concurrent decrease in clotting activity. Desialation had no effect on thrombin-induced activation, whereas deglycosylated factor V activation was impaired. Lectin-blot experiments with sialic-acid-specific Limax flavus agglutinin (LFA), galactose-specific Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA-II) and mannose-specific concanavalin A on thrombin-induced factor V fragments revealed the presence of carbohydrate residues in fragments B, C1, D and F1F2. Interestingly, sialic acid was present in C1 whilst galactose was not detectable. Fragment F1F2 contained terminal galactose residues. LFA and RCA-II inhibited the procoagulant activity of native factor V and of desialated factor V respectively. These investigations distinctly indicate the important role of the human factor V carbohydrate moiety in the process of blood coagulation. 相似文献

The surface of the extremely thermophilic archaebacterium Methanothermus fervidus is covered by glycoprotein subunits. The carbohydrate moiety of the surface glycoprtein accounts for about 17 mol%. It is composed of mannose, 3-O-methylglucose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine. From cell extracts the corresponding surgar-1-phosphates and nucleotide activated derivatives of Man, Gal, GlcNAc and GalNAc were isolated. Furthermore UDP-and dolichyl activated oligosaccharides were obtained. On the basis of the isolated precursors a pathway for the biosynthesis of the oligosaccharide chains is proposed.Abbreviations DNP-Glu
