Plant-based expression systems are attractive for the large-scale production of pharmaceutical proteins. However, glycoproteins require particular attention as inherent differences in the N-glycosylation pathways of plants and mammals result in the production of glycoproteins bearing core-xylose and core-alpha(1,3)-fucose glyco-epitopes. For treatments requiring large quantities of repeatedly administered glycoproteins, the immunological properties of these non-mammalian glycans are a concern. Recombinant glycoproteins could be retained within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to prevent such glycan modifications occurring in the late Golgi compartment. Therefore, we analysed cPIPP, a mouse/human chimeric IgG1 antibody binding to the beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), fused to a C-terminal KDEL sequence, to investigate the efficiency of ER retrieval and the consequences in terms of N-glycosylation. The KDEL-tagged cPIPP antibody was expressed in transgenic tobacco plants or Agrobacterium-infiltrated tobacco and winter cherry leaves. N-Glycan analysis showed that the resulting plantibodies contained only high-mannose (Man)-type Man-6 to Man-9 oligosaccharides. In contrast, the cPIPP antibody lacking the KDEL sequence was found to carry complex N-glycans containing core-xylose and core-alpha(1,3)-fucose, thereby demonstrating the secretion competence of the antibody. Furthermore, fusion of KDEL to the diabody derivative of PIPP, which contains an N-glycosylation site within the heavy chain variable domain, also resulted in a molecule lacking complex glycans. The complete absence of xylose and fucose residues clearly shows that the KDEL-mediated ER retrieval of cPIPP or its diabody derivative is efficient in preventing the formation of non-mammalian complex oligosaccharides.  相似文献

Information about the saccharides expressed in gastric mucosa is mostly limited to the glycan content of gastric mucins and there are only a few studies of the glycoprofiling of the constituent cells and their components. Knowledge of the glycan expression of normal gastric mucosa is necessary for the interpretation of the significance of changes of expression in disease. A lectin histochemical study of normal human gastric (body) mucosa was performed using 27 lectins chosen to probe for a wide range of oligosaccharide sequences within several categories of glycoprotein glycans. There were marked differences in staining reactions in the various microanatomical structures of the mucosa, particularly between pits and glands with the former more closely resembling the surface epithelium. A notable feature was the degree of difference in the staining between a substantial sub-population of cells within the neck region and the epithelium of both the pits and glands. These neck cells resembled the pit cells with some lectins, glandular cells with some others and neither with some other lectins. Overall, the differences between the pit, gland and neck epithelia were diverse and numerous, and could not be explained by altered activity of a small set of glycosyltransferases. Widespread alterations of glycans must have occurred (affecting terminal and internal parts of their structures) and the very different glycotypes of the pit, neck and gland epithelia are, therefore, suggestive of the existence of three cell lineages within normal gastric epithelium.

We describe an antibody-lectin sandwich assay for quantitation of glycoforms of proteins. The assay uses deglycosylated IgG antibody immobilized on a microtiter plate to capture the protein of interest from the sample. The particular glycoform is then identified by reaction with biotin-labeled lectin, which is measured using streptavidin/alkaline phosphatase. The assay can be adapted to quantitate any protein’s glycoforms by simply substituting the antibody and lectin with specific alternatives,  相似文献

The binding profile of Triticum vulgaris (WGA, wheat germ) agglutinin to 23 O-glycans (GalNAcα1→Ser/Thr containing glycoproteins, GPs) was quantitated by the precipitin assay and its specific interactions with O-glycans were confirmed by the precipitin inhibition assay. Of the 28 glycoforms tested, six complex O-glycans (hog gastric mucins, one human blood group A active and two precursor cyst GPs) reacted strongly with WGA and completely precipitated the lectin added. All of the other human blood group A active O-glycans and human blood group precursor GPs also reacted well with the lectin and precipitated over two-thirds of the agglutinin used. They reacted 4–50 times stronger than N-glycans (asialo-fetuin and asialo-human α1 acid GP). The binding of WGA to O-glycans was inhibited by either p-NO2-phenyl α,βGlcNAc or GalNAc. From these results, it is highly possible that cluster (multivalent) effects through the high density of weak inhibitory determinants on glycans, such as GalNAcα1→Ser/Thr (Tn), GalNAc at the non-reducing terminal, GlcNAcβ1→ at the non-reducing end and/or as an internal residue, play important roles in precipitation, while the GlcNAcβ1→4GlcNAc disaccharide may play a minor role in the precipitation of mammalian glycan-WGA complexes.  相似文献

The carbohydrate moieties of larval sparganum proteins in two different species, the snakes, Elaphe rufodorsata, the Balb/c mouse and those of the adult worm, Spirometra erinacei, were compared using five different lectins including GNA, SNA, MAA, PNA and DSA. The GNA positive 53 kDa molecule, which is excretory-secretory protease in the sparganum from the snake showed a stage specific and developmental regulation. We also suggested that sparganum glycosylation may be involved in immune evasion and differentiation into an adult worm.  相似文献

The conformations of a disialylated monofucosylated biantennary glycan of theN-acetyllactosamine type were analysed using the Tripos 5.3 force field from the Sybyl software currently used for molecular modelling. The conformation of each glycosidic linkage was calculated when included in oligosaccharide structures of up to 5 units and the influence of the glycosidic environment on the overall structure was measured. The study clearly shows that the conformation of a branched glycan cannot result from the simple addition of the different low energy conformers of each of the glycosidic linkages constituting the glycan structure. The asymmetrical conformation of the two antennae was demonstrated. The lowest energy conformations of the overall glycan structure were built and classified into 5 main models: the Y, T, bird and broken wing conformations already described and a new one called the back folded wing conformation.  相似文献

The current interest in applying systems biology approaches to studying an organism's form or function promises to reveal further insights into the role of glycosylation in cells and whole organisms. This has prompted the development of a rapid, sensitive method of profiling the glycan component of both glycosphingolipids and glycoproteins from a single sample. Here we report a new mass spectrometric screening strategy for characterizing glycosphingolipid-derived oligosaccharides, which can be integrated into an existing highly sensitive glycoprotein glycomics strategy. Using ceramide glycanase to release the glycans from glycosphingolipids, this method provides a reliable profile of the glycosphingolipid-derived glycans present in a sample and has revealed new glycan structures. Glycoproteins are also efficiently recovered using this method, allowing the subsequent analysis of glycoprotein-derived glycans by mass spectrometry. The high sensitivity of this glycomic screening method allowed us to directly characterize the sialyl Le(x) epitope from mouse brain for the first time, where it was observed on an O-mannose structure. Thus, we present a mass spectrometric method that allows glycomic screening of N- and O-glycans as well as glycosphingolipid-derived glycans from a single tissue.  相似文献

Eggs were isolated from ovaries and oviducts of the golden hamster and the components of zonae pellucidae were examined using density gradient SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis. Zonae of ovarian eggs (ZP-OVA) had three major components corresponding to the so-called ZP-1, ZP-2, and ZP-3. Zonae of recently ovulated eggs collected from oviducts (ZP-OVI) had a 200–240 K component (ZP-O) in addition to the three components present in ZP-OVA. When ovarian and oviductal eggs were stained with FITC-conjugated B. simplicifolia-1 lectin (BS-1), which specifically binds to alpha-D-galactose- or alpha-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-like terminal saccharide residues, ZP-OVI was intensely stained, while ZP-OVA was not. ZP-OVA gained the ability to bind to BS-1 after a brief treatment with oviduct extracts. These results suggest that biochemical properties of hamster zonae change after transport of eggs from ovary to the oviduct. The addition of the 200–240 K component of oviductal origin to preexisting zona components seems to be responsible for this change.  相似文献

Glycoproteins in the soluble fraction and in the membrane fraction of various portions of brains and spinal cords, obtained from 9-week-old rats and 29-month-old rats, were comparatively analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and lectin staining. The glycoprotein patterns of each brain part showed marked differences by the age of donors. The most prominent evidence in the soluble fractions of white matter, basal ganglia, and spinal cord detected by WGA is that the glycoproteins with an apparent molecular weight of 123K and 115K have increased in the aged rats. In addition, the reactivity of 115K with Con A and PNA has also increased in the aged rats. On the other hand, reactivity of an apparent molecular weight of 115K with WGA has increased in the membrane fractions of white matter, basal ganglia, hippocampus, cerebellum, and spinal cord from the aged rats. In contrast, by MAM, which is specific for Sia2®3Gal linkage, an apparent molecular weight of 115K has been detected only in the membrane fraction of cerebellum and it has decreased in the aged rats. Reactivity of an apparent molecular weight of 133K and 125K in the membrane fractions of white matter and basal ganglia with LCA has decreased in the aged rats. In contrast, reactivity of the front band with LCA and AAL has increased and that of 130K with AAL has decreased in spinal cord from the aged rats, respectively. These results indicate that the glycosylation state of the protein in the brain changes during aging.  相似文献

Galectins are implicated in a large variety of biological functions, many of which depend on their carbohydrate-binding ability. Fifteen members of the family have been identified in vertebrates based on binding to galactose (Gal) that is mediated by one or two, evolutionarily conserved, carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs). Variations in glycan structures expressed on glycoconjugates at the cell surface may, therefore, affect galectin binding and functions. To identify roles for different glycans in the binding of the three types of mammalian galectins to cells, we performed fluorescence cytometry at 4 degrees C with recombinant rat galectin-1, human galectin-3, and three forms of human galectin-8, to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and 12 different CHO glycosylation mutants. All galectin species bound to parent CHO cells and binding was inhibited >90% by 0.2 M lactose. Galectin-8 isoforms with either a long or a short inter-CRD linker bound similarly to CHO cells. However, a truncated form of galectin-8 containing only the N-terminal CRD bound only weakly to CHO cells and the C-terminal galectin-8 CRD exhibited extremely low binding. Binding of the galectins to the different CHO glycosylation mutants revealed that complex N-glycans are the major ligands for each galectin except the N-terminal CRD of galectins-8, and also identified some fine differences in glycan recognition. Interestingly, increased binding of galectin-1 at 4 degrees C correlated with increased propidium iodide (PI) uptake, whereas galectin-3 or -8 binding did not induce permeability to PI. The CHO glycosylation mutants with various repertoires of cell surface glycans are a useful tool for investigating galectin-cell interactions as they present complex and simple glycans in a natural mixture of multivalent protein and lipid glycoconjugates anchored in a cell membrane.  相似文献

The receptor for Amaranthus leucocarpus lectin from CD-1 resident macrophages was purified with affinity chromatography with biotin labeled A. leucocarpus lectin and using avidin-agarose as affinity matrix. The receptor is a glycoprotein of 70 kDa that contains 18% of sugar by weight; it is mainly composed of galactose and N-acetyl D galactosamine in its saccharidic portion, and lacks sialic acid; the protein is rich in glycine, serine and alanine and lacks cysteine residues. The amino terminus of the receptor is blocked. By ionic strength chromatography on a mono P column in anionic form we purified three isoforms from the affinity purified receptor, each showing quantitative differences in glycosylation. The A. leucocarpus lectin receptor is identified only in resting, not activated, macrophages suggesting that it plays a role in activation mechanisms of macrophages  相似文献

Potato lectin (Solanum tuberosum agglutinin, STA) is an unusual glycoprotein containing approximately 50% carbohydrates by weight. Of the total carbohydrates, 92% is contributed by L-arabinose, which are O-linked to hydroxyproline residues. The ferric chloride-orcinol assay (Bial’s test), which is specific for pentoses has so far been used only for the determination of free pentoses in biological samples. However, this colorimetric assay has not been used for the detection of pentoses in bound form as it occurs in Solanaceae lectins (potato, tomato, and Datura lectins). Utilizing the pentose colorimetric assay for monitoring the presence of potato lectin, a simpler and shorter procedure for the purification of this lectin from potato tubers has been developed. The yield of potato lectin (1.73 mg per 100 g potato tuber) is twice compared to the yields reported in earlier procedures. Although potato lectin is well known for its specificity to free trimers and tetramers of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), it possesses a similar specificity to the core (GlcNAc)2 of N-linked glycoproteins. The utilization of the pentose assay in the purification of arabinose-rich lectins/agglutinins obviates the necessity for the use of agglutination assay in the various purification steps. The pentose assay appears to be a simple and convenient colorimetric assay for detecting any pentose-rich glycoprotein in plant extracts. The utility of the pentose assay appears to have a significant potential in the detection of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs), which are generally O-arabinosylated.  相似文献

Colorectal cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) CO17‐1A recognizes the tumor‐associated antigen GA733, a cell surface glycoprotein highly expressed in colorectal carcinoma cell, which is considered to be applicable for diagnosis and therapeutic treatment against colorectal cancer. In addition antibodies are glycoproteins, efficiently recognize and eliminate specific pathogenic and disease antigens. We have currently established baculovirus insect cell expression system to produce anti‐colorectal cancer mAb CO17‐1A. In this study, mAb CO17‐1A was expressed in the transgenic insect cell line SfSWT4, in which glycosylation processing pathway has been humanized. Immunoblot confirmed that mAb CO17‐1A properly expressed in SfSWT4 insect cells. mAb CO17‐1A was purified using protein G affinity column. In addition, MALDI‐TOF verified that the mAb CO17‐1A fused to KDEL, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention signal (mAb CO17‐1AK) had high mannose type of glycan structure. Migration assay showed that insect cell‐derived mAb CO17‐1AK (mAbI CO17‐1AK) with high mannose type of glycan structure was effective as mammalian‐derived mAb CO17‐1A (mAbM CO17‐1A) in inhibition of metastasis. Kinetic analysis of antigen‐antibody interaction using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) confirmed that mAbI CO17‐1AK is efficient to interact with antigen GA733 as mAbM CO17‐1A. These results suggest that the insect cell expression system with the SfSWT4 possibly can be used as a useful alternative way to produce full‐size mAb for cancer immunotherapy.  相似文献

虽然昆虫杆状病毒表达系统在蛋白表达领域得到了广泛的应用, 但由于不能表达复杂的末端唾液酸化的N-糖链, 使得该系统在生物制药行业的应用受到了很大的限制。通过比较哺乳动物细胞和昆虫细胞内糖基化途径可知, 其起始步骤一致, 之后再发生分化, 主要表现为3方面, 即昆虫细胞内缺乏哺乳动物细胞所具备的N-乙酰葡萄糖氨转移酶II、 半乳糖基转移酶/N-乙酰氨基半乳糖转移酶、α-2,3-唾液酸转移酶和α-2,6-唾液酸转移酶等延长N-糖链的糖基转移酶; 另外, 昆虫细胞内具有能够特异性地将蛋白质末端的N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖残基从GlcNAcMan3GlcNAc(±α3/6-Fuc)GlcNAc上切除的N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶及核心α-1,3-岩藻糖基转移酶。本文从上述异同出发, 综述了克服昆虫细胞内不能表达人源化糖蛋白这一缺陷所进行的N-糖基化途径的改造研究--主要集中在昆虫细胞内GlcNAcase的抑制和昆虫细胞内GnT2, GalT/ GalNAcT, ST3及ST6等基因的导入等方面, 结果表明经改造的昆虫细胞可表达人源化糖蛋白, 这将极大地拓宽昆虫杆状病毒表达系统的应用领域。本文还探讨了选择特殊细胞系及特殊培养条件以在昆虫细胞内表达唾液酸化蛋白的可行性。  相似文献
