The occurrence of two novel oligosaccharides in human milk was investigated. These oligosaccharides were purified by affinity chromatography on a column of an immobilized monoclonal antibody, MSW 113. Structural studies, involving 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy and fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, indicated the structures of these compounds to be NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3(Fuc alpha 1----4) GlcNAc and NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3(Fuc alpha 1----4) GlcNac beta 1----3Gal. This constitutes the first evidence for the occurrence of N-acetylglucosamine or galactose as the reducing-end residue of human milk oligosaccharides. These two oligosaccharides bound MSW 113 to nearly the same extent as sialyl-Lea hexasaccharide but to another sialyl-Le(a) structure-directed monoclonal antibody, NS-19-9, only weakly.  相似文献

This report describes the structure of novel complex-type Asn-linked oligosaccharides in glycoproteins synthesized by the human blood fluke, Schistosoma mansoni. Adult schistosome worm pairs (male and female) isolated from infected hamsters were metabolically radiolabelled with either [3H]glucosamine, [3H]mannose or [3H]galactose. The glycopeptides prepared by pronase digestion of the total glycoprotein fraction were isolated by affinity chromatography on columns of immobilized Concanavalin A (Con A) and Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA). A subset of glycopeptides, designated IIb, that bound to both Con A and WFA was isolated. WFA has been shown to have affinity for oligosaccharides containing beta 1,4-linked N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) at their non-reducing termini. Compositional analysis of IIb glycopeptides demonstrated that they contained N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), GalNAc, mannose (Man) and fucose (Fuc), but no galactose (Gal) or N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc). Methylation analyses and exoglycosidase digestions indicated that IIb glycopeptides were complex-type biantennary structures with branches containing the sequence GalNAc beta 1-4-[+/- Fuc alpha 1-3]GlcNAc beta 1-2Man alpha 1-R. The discovery of these unusual oligosaccharides synthesized by a human parasite, which appear to be similar to some newly discovered mammalian cell-derived oligosaccharides, may shed light on future studies related to the role oligosaccharides may play in host-parasite interactions.  相似文献

The structural determinants required for interaction of oligosaccharides with Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCAI) and Ricinus communis agglutinin II (RCAII) have been studied by lectin affinity high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Homogeneous oligosaccharides of known structure, purified following release from Asn with N-glycanase and reduction with NaBH4, were tested for their ability to interact with columns of silica-bound RCAI and RCAII. The characteristic elution position obtained for each oligosaccharide was reproducible and correlated with specific structural features. RCAI binds oligosaccharides bearing terminal beta 1,4-linked Gal but not those containing terminal beta 1,4-linked GalNAc. In contrast, RCAII binds structures with either terminal beta 1,4-linked Gal or beta 1,4-linked GalNAc. Both lectins display a greater affinity for structures with terminal beta 1,4-rather than beta 1,3-linked Gal, although RCAII interacts more strongly than RCAI with oligosaccharides containing terminal beta 1,3-linked Gal. Whereas terminal alpha 2,6-linked sialic acid partially inhibits oligosaccharide-RCAI interaction, terminal alpha 2,3-linked sialic acid abolishes interaction with the lectin. In contrast, alpha 2,3- and alpha 2,6-linked sialic acid equally inhibit but do not abolish oligosaccharide interaction with RCAII. RCAI and RCAII discriminate between N-acetyllactosamine-type branches arising from different core Man residues of dibranched complex-type oligosaccharides; RCAI has a preference for the branch attached to the alpha 1,3-linked core Man and RCAII has a preference for the branch attached to the alpha 1,6-linked core Man. RCAII but not RCAI interacts with certain di- and tribranched oligosaccharides devoid of either Gal or GalNAc but bearing terminal GlcNAc, indicating an important role for GlcNAc in RCAII interaction. These findings suggest that N-acetyllactosamine is the primary feature required for oligosaccharide recognition by both RCAI and RCAII but that lectin interaction is strongly modulated by other structural features. Thus, the oligosaccharide specificities of RCAI and RCAII are distinct, depending on many different structural features including terminal sugar moieties, peripheral branching pattern, and sugar linkages.  相似文献

alpha-L-Fucosidase was purified from human liver to apparent homogeneity and subjected to exhaustive digestion with Pronase. The resulting glycopeptides were isolated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 and further fractionated by Bio-Gel P-4 chromatography. Five glycopeptide fractions were obtained. The structures of the carbohydrate portions of all glycopeptide components were fully characterized by a combination of 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy and carbohydrate composition analysis. Fraction I contained disialyl diantennary glycopeptides of the N-acetyllactosamine type. Fractions II and III contained predominantly mono(sialyl-N-acetyllactosaminyl) diantennary glycopeptides with the NeuAc alpha(2----6)Gal beta(1----4)GlcNAc beta(1----2) branch attached to alpha(1----3)-linked Man in II and to alpha(1----6)-linked Man in III. The N-acetyllactosamine-type glycopeptides in fractions I to III have a small portion (10-15%) of their Asn-linked GlcNAc residues substituted by additional alpha(1----6)-linked Fuc. Also, a minor portion of the NeuAc residues appeared to be attached to Gal in alpha(2----3) rather than alpha(2----6) linkage. Fraction IV contained a mixture of larger-size oligomannoside-type glycopeptides with a variable number (6 to 9) of Man residues. Smaller-size oligomannoside-type glycopeptides were found in fraction V, containing 3 or 5 Man residues; a small portion (10%) of the Man3GlcNAc2Asn component appeared to contain in addition a Fuc residue in alpha(1----6) linkage to the Asn-bound GlcNAc. The overall ratio of oligomannoside-type to N-acetyllactosamine-type carbohydrate structures was found to be 5:4. This article is the first account of the complete characterization of the oligomannoside-type structures in alpha-L-fucosidase; furthermore, the occurrence in alpha-L-fucosidase of mono(sialyl-N-acetyllactosaminyl) structures, Fuc-containing oligosaccharides, and NeuAc alpha(2----3) linked to Gal are reported for the first time.  相似文献

We have identified a novel oligosaccharide in human milk that is a fucosyl derivative of sialyltetrasaccharide c (NeuAc alpha 2-6Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc). This oligosaccharide was purified by affinity chromatography on a column of immobilized Ricinus communis I lectin. Structural analyses of radiolabeled oligosaccharides by exoglycosidase digestions, binding by specific anti-carbohydrate antibodies, and analysis of the 3H-labeled glucitol derivative obtained after permethylation and hydrolysis are consistent with the following proposed structure. (formula; see text) The analyses of human milk sialylpentasaccharides from donors typed as Le(a-,b+), Le(a+,b-), and Le(a-,b-) secretor confirmed the secretor gene-dependent expression of the sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose I (Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-3[NeuAc alpha 2-6]GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc) and the Lewis gene-dependent expression of the sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose II (NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]GlcNAc beta 1-4Glc). However, the presence of this novel oligosaccharide in human milk is not dependent on the expression of either the secretor gene or the Lewis gene-specified fucosyltransferases.  相似文献

A structural comparison between the synthetic, tumor-associated 19-9 tetrasaccharide, NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3GlcNAc(4----1 alpha Fuc)-O(CH2)8CO2CH3 and its Lea blood group antigen component, Gal beta 1----3GlcNAc(4----1 alpha Fuc)-O(CH2)8CO2CH3 was carried out by two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy and hard-sphere energy calculations. Significant chemical shift differences between the two molecules were detected only for protons at or near the linkage site of NeuAc to the Lea trisaccharide core. Coupling constants for the ring protons of both molecules did not suggest major deviation from the 4C1 chair conformation for Gal and GlcNAc, the 1C4 conformation for Fuc, or the 2C5 conformation for NeuAc. Two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments revealed through-space, inter-proton interactions that corresponded to some extent with those predicted by diffraction data and hard-sphere energy minimization programs for both saccharides. However, a significant number of interactions did not obey the distance dependence predicted from a rigid structure model. These data suggest that, while the average conformation of the 19-9 antigen's Lea core may be invariant to NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal linkage, the dynamics of the Lea trisaccharide are altered upon sialylation. Data also indicate that the terminal NeuAc linkage is more flexible than the inter-residue bonds of the core trisacharide. This analysis, in combination with the fact that the monoclonal anti-19-9 antibody CO 19-9 does not cross-react with the Lea antigen, provides evidence in favor of NeuAc as an epitope-creating unit involved directly at the antibody binding site. However, given the possible role of variable dynamics in epitope formation, these results do not preclude crucial roles in antibody recognition for regions on the 19-9 antigen that are distanced from NeuAc.  相似文献

The asparagine-linked sugar chains of human chorionic gonadotropin were released from the polypeptide moiety by hydrazinolysis followed by N-acetylation and NaB3H4 reduction. More than 90% of the released radioactive oligosaccharides contained N-acetylneuraminic acid residues. After removal of N-acetylneuraminic acid residues by sialidase treatment, two neutral oligosaccharide fractions were obtained by paper chromatography. Sequential exoglycosidase digestion revealed that one of them was a mixture of two neutral oligosaccharides. The complete structures of the three oligosaccharides were elucidated by methylation analysis. It was confirmed that all the N-acetylneuraminic acid residues of the asparagine-linked sugar chains of human chorionic gonadotropin occur as NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal groupings by comparing the methylation analysis data for the acidic oligosaccharide mixture before and after sialidase treatment. Based on these results, the structures of the asparagine-linked sugar chains of human chorionic gonadotropin were confirmed to be +/- NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(+/- Fuc alpha 1 leads to 6)GlcNAc and Man alpha 1 leads to 6(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3 Gal beta 1 leads to 4 GlcNAc beta 1 leads to Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4 GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc.  相似文献

Sulfated N-linked carbohydrate chains in porcine thyroglobulin   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
N-linked carbohydrate chains of porcine thyroglobulin were released by the hydrazinolysis procedure. The resulting mixture of oligosaccharide-alditols was fractionated by high-voltage paper electrophoresis, the acidic fractions were further separated by high-performance liquid chromatography on Lichrosorb-NH2, and analyzed by 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and, partially, by permethylation analysis. Of the acidic oligosaccharide-alditols, the following sulfated carbohydrate chains could be identified: NeuAc alpha 2----6Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----2Man alpha 1----3[(SO3Na----3)Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta1----2-Mana alpha 1----6]Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4[Fuc alpha 1----6]GlcNAc-ol and NeuAc alpha 2----6Gal beta 1----4(SO3Na----)0-1 GlcNAc beta 1----2-Man alpha 1----3[NeuAc alpha 2----6Gal beta 1----4(SO3Na----6)1-0GlcNAc beta 1----2Man alpha 1----6]Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4[Fuc alpha 1----6]GlcNAc- ol. The sulfated structural elements for porcine thyroglobulin form novel details of N-linked carbohydrate chains. They contribute to the fine structure of these oligosaccharides and are another type of expression of microheterogeneity.  相似文献

The oligosaccharides present in the milk of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana africana), collected 4 days post partum, were separated by size exclusion-, anion exchange- and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before characterisation by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Neutral and acidic oligosaccharides were identified. Neutral oligosaccharides characterised were isoglobotriose, Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc and a novel oligosaccharide that has not been reported in the milk or colostrum of any other mammal: Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc. Acidic oligosaccharides that are also found in the milk of Asian elephant were Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc and Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3){Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)}Gal(beta1-4)Glc, while Neu5Gc(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc and Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3){Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)}Gal(beta1-4)Glc have not been found in Asian elephant milk. The oligosaccharides characterised contained both alpha(2-3)- and alpha(2-6)-linked Neu5Ac residues. They also contain only the type II chain, as found in most non-human, eutherian mammals.  相似文献

Carbohydrates were extracted from a sample of milk from a mink, Mustela vison (Family Mustelidae). Free neutral and acidic oligosaccharides were isolated from the carbohydrate fraction and their chemical structures were compared with those of white-nosed coati (Nasua narica, Procyonidae) and harbour seal (Phoca vitulina, Phocidae) that we had studied previously. The ratio of free lactose to milk oligosaccharides was similar to that in milk of the white-nosed coati; in both species, this ratio was much lower than that in the milk of most eutherians. The neutral oligosaccharides of mink milk had alpha(1-3)-linked Gal or alpha(1-2)-linked Fuc residues at their non-reducing ends, as in the neutral oligosaccharides of white-nosed coati milk. Some of the neutral and acidic oligosaccharides, determined here, had been found also in harbour seal milk, but the harbour seal oligosaccharides did not contain alpha(1-3)-linked Gal residues.  相似文献

Structural studies of the sugar chains of human parotid alpha-amylase   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Human parotid amylase can be separated into three families of isoenzymes (A', A, and B) by Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. Isoenzymes in family B were free from carbohydrate, while those in family A were all glycoproteins. The carbohydrate moieties of family A isoenzymes were released from their polypeptide portions by hydrazinolysis and labeled by reduction with NaB[3H]4. The yield of total radioactive oligosaccharides indicated that family A isoenzymes all contain single asparagine-linked sugar chains in one molecule. The radioactive oligosaccharides were fractionated into one acidic and two neutral oligosaccharide fractions by paper electrophoresis and paper chromatography. By sequential exoglycosidase digestion in combination with a methylation study, their structures were determined to be: Gal beta 1 leads to 4 (Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Gal beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 6)GlcNAc Gal beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6 and 3[Gal beta 1 leads to 4 GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3 and 6]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 6)GlcNAc Gal beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3) GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6 (NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 6)GlcNAc.  相似文献

The structure of sialylated carbohydrate units of bronchial mucins obtained from cystic fibrosis patients was investigated by 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with sugar analysis. After subjecting the mucins to alkaline borohydride degradation, sialylated oligosaccharide-alditols were isolated by anion-exchange chromatography and fractionated by high performance liquid chromatography. Five compounds could be obtained in a rather pure state; their structures were established as the following: A-1, NeuAc alpha(2----3)Gal beta(1----4) [Fuc alpha(1----3)]GlcNAc beta(1----3)Gal-NAc-ol; A-2, NeuAc alpha(2----3)Gal beta(1----4)GlcNAc beta(1----6)-[GlcNAc beta (1----3)]GalNAc-o1; A-3, NeuAc alpha(2----3)Gal beta-(1----4)[Fuc alpha(1----3)]GlcNAc beta(1----3)Gal beta(1----3) GalNAc-o1; A-4, NeuAc alpha(2----3)Gal beta(1----4)[Fuc alpha(1----3)]Glc-NAc NAc beta(1----6)[GlcNAc beta(1----3)]GalNAc-o1; A-6,NeuAc alpha-(2----3) Gal beta(1----4)[Fuc alpha(1----3)]GlcNAc beta(1----6)[Gal beta-(1----4) GlcNAc beta(1----3)]GalNAc-o1. The simultaneous presence of sialic acid in alpha(2----3)-linkage to Gal and fucose in alpha(1----3)-linkage to GlcNAc of the same N-acetyllactosamine unit could be adequately proved by high resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy. This sequence constitutes a novel structural element for mucins.  相似文献

Fucosyl residues in the alpha 1----3 linkage to N-acetylglucosamine (Fuc alpha 1----3GlcNAc) on oligosaccharides of glycoproteins and glycolipids have been detected in certain human tumors and are developmentally expressed (reviewed in Foster, C. S., and Glick, M. C. (1988) Adv. Neuroblastoma Res. 2, 421-432). In order to understand control mechanisms for the biosynthesis of these fucosylated glycoconjugates, GDP-L-Fuc-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide alpha 1----3fucosyltransferase was purified from human neuroblastoma cells, CHP 134, utilizing either the immobilized oligosaccharide or disaccharide substrates. The enzyme, extracted from CHP 134 cells, was purified by DEAE- and SP-Sephadex chromatography and then by either immobilized substrate. alpha 1----3Fucosyltransferase was obtained in approximately 10% yield and was purified 45,000-fold from the cell extract. The kinetic properties of the enzyme showed an apparent KGDP-Fuc 43 microM, KGal beta 1----4GlcNAc 0.4 mM, KGal beta 1----4Glc 8.1 mM, and KFuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----4Glc 1.0 mM. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the affinity-purified enzyme showed two proteins which migrated, Mr = 45,000-40,000. The enzyme differed in substrate specificity, pH optimum, response to N-ethylmaleimide and ion requirements from the enzymes purified from human milk or serum. The inability of alpha 1----3fucosyltransferase to transfer to substrates containing NeuAc alpha 2----3 or alpha 2----6Gal is in contrast to the reports for the enzyme in other human tumors. This substrate specificity correlates with the oligosaccharide residues thus far defined on glycoproteins of CHP 134 cells since NeuAc and Fuc alpha 1----3GlcNAc have yet to be detected on the same oligosaccharide antenna. However, the enzyme transfers to Fuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc/Glc with higher activity than the unfucosylated disaccharides, although neither alpha 1----2fucosyltransferase nor Fuc alpha 1----2 residues have been detected in CHP 134 cells. The different substrate specificities of alpha 1----3fucosyltransferase isolated from human tumors and normal sources leads to the suggestion that a family of alpha 1----3fucosyltransferases may exist and that they may be differentially expressed in human tumors.  相似文献

Newcastle disease virus sialidase was found to exhibit strict specificity for hydrolysis of the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal linkage contained in glycoprotein oligosaccharides both N-linked to asparagine and O-linked to threonine or serine under conditions that left oligosaccharides containing the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 2 leads to 6Gal and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6GallNAc linkages intact. This was determined, in part, by examining the viral sialidase for its ability to hydrolyze glycoprotein oligosaccharides derivatized with purified sialyltransferases to contain the [14C]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal, [14C]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6GalNAc, and [14C]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal linkages. The viral sialidase was also tested for hydrolysis of the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal linkages on the N-linked oligosaccharides of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. Selective hydrolysis of the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal linkage was shown by periodate oxidation and by 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy of native and sialidase-treated glycopeptides. The NMR spectra, together with composition data, further indicated that the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal linkages were localized to specific branches of the major tri- and tetraantennary oligosaccharides of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. The results indicate that the Newcastle disease virus sialidase can initiate the selective degradation of N-linked oligosaccharide branches containing the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal linkage.  相似文献

Two trisaccharides, three tetrasaccharides, two pentasaccharides, one hexasaccharide, one heptasaccharide, one octasaccharide and one decasaccharide were isolated from polar bear milk samples by chloroform/methanol extraction, gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography. The oligosaccharides were characterized by 1H-NMR as follows: the saccharides from one animal: Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (alpha3'-galactosyllactose), Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (2'-fucosyllactose), Gal(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc (B-tetrasaccharide), GalNAc(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc (A-tetrasaccharide), Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Gal(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Gl c, Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc NAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc; the saccharides from another animal: alpha3'-galactosyllactose, Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]Glc, A-tetrasaccharide, GalNAc(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]Glc (A-pentasaccharide), Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Gl c, Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[F uc(alpha1-3)]Glc (difucosylheptasaccharide) and Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)?Gal(alpha1-3) Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)?Gal(beta1-4)Glc (difucosyldecasaccharide). Lactose was present only in small amounts. Some of the milk oligosaccharides of the polar bear had alpha-Gal epitopes similar to some oligosaccharides in milk from the Ezo brown bear and the Japanese black bear. Some milk oligosaccharides had human blood group A antigens as well as B antigens; these were different from the oligosaccharides in Ezo brown and Japanese black bears.  相似文献

Six purified glycosyltransferase (a beta-galactoside alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase, a beta-galactoside alpha 2 leads to 3 sialyltransferase, an alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase, a beta-galactoside alpha 1 leads to 2 fucosyltransferase, a beta-N-acetylglucosaminide alpha 1 leads to 3 fucosyltransferase, and a (fucosyl alpha 1 leads to 2) galactoside alpha 1 leads to 3 N-acetyl-galactosaminyltransferase) have been used to study the biosynthetic pathways for formation of the nonreducing terminal oligosaccharide sequences in mammalian glycoproteins. The two glycoproteins used as model acceptor substrates in this study were human asialotransferrin, which contains the nonreducing terminal oligosaccharide sequence Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man, and antifreeze glycoprotein, which contains oligosaccarides with the structure, Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc alph 1 leads O-Thr. Sequential action of the six glycosyltransferases on these model substrates led to the formation of previously described oligosaccharide structures. The studies reported here indicate that the substrate specificities of the individual enzymes dictate the structures that can be synthesized and the pathways by which they may be formed. The actions of a number of the transferasesare mutually exclusive, thereby prohibiting the formation of theoretically possible oligosaccharide structures. Oligosaccharides with the terminal sequence NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2)Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3)GlcNAc cannot be formed because the prior incorporation of sialic acid by the sialyltransferases yields products that are not acceptor substrates for the fucosyltransferases, and vice versa. Synthesis of other products requires that the enzymes act sequentially in a specific order. The structures NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2)Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2Gal beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3)GlcNAc, GalNAc alpha 1 leads to 3(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2)Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, and GalNAc alpha 1 leads to 3(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2)Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc can only be synthesized if the fucosyl alpha 1 leads to 2 galactose linkage is formed first. Synthesis of the pentasaccharide sequences GalNAc alpha 1 leads to 3(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2)Gal beta 1 leads to 3(NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6)GalNAc and GalNAc alpha 1 leads to 3(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2)Gal beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3)GlcNAc requires that the N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase act last on the former structure and that the alpha 1 leads to 3 fucosyltransferase act last on the latter. In those instances where a product can be formed by one of two possible pathways, the comparisons of reaction rates indicate that one pathway is usually preferred...  相似文献

Biosynthesis of the sialyl-Lex determinant (NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)-GlcNAc beta 1-3-R) in human amniotic fluid has been shown to proceed via the same sequence of glycosylation steps established previously for lung carcinoma PC 9 cells (Holmes, E. H., Ostrander, G.K. & Hakomori, S. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 3737-3743): sialylation of type-2-chain-precursor substrates (paragloboside) by an amniotic alpha 2-3-sialyltransferase precedes fucosylation of sialylated intermediates (sialosyl paragloboside) by an organ-characteristic alpha 1-3-L-fucosyltransferase.  相似文献

The carbohydrate-binding specificity of Aleuria aurantia lectin was investigated by analyzing the behavior of a variety of fucose-containing oligosaccharides on an A. aurantia lectin-Sepharose column. Studies with complex-type oligosaccharides obtained from various glycoproteins by hydrazinolysis and their partial degradation fragments indicated that the presence of the alpha-fucosyl residue linked at the C-6 position of the proximal N-acetylglucosamine moiety is indispensable for binding to the lectin column. Binding was not affected by the structures of the outer chain moieties nor by the presence of the bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residue. These results indicated that A. aurantia lectin-Sepharose is useful for the group separation of mixtures of complex-type asparagine-linked sugar chains. Studies of glycosylated Bence Jones proteins indicated that this procedure is also applicable to intact glycoproteins. The behavior of oligosaccharides isolated from human milk and the urine of patients with fucosidosis indicated that the oligosaccharides with Fuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc and Gal beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc groups interact with the lectin, but less strongly than complex-type sugar chains with a fucosylated core. Lacto-N-fucopentaitol II, which has a Gal beta 1----3(Fuc alpha 1----4)GlcNAc group, interacts less strongly than the above two groups with the matrix. Oligosaccharides with Fuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----3GlcNAc and Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc groups showed almost no interaction with the matrix.  相似文献
