Abstract: | The N-linked sugar chains were liberated as oligosaccha-ridesfrom octopus rhodopsin by hydrazinolysis. Most of the oligosaccharideswere neutral, and separated into two major components by columnchromatography using immobilized lectins and Bio-Gel P-4. Structuralanalysis of the one major component by sequential exoglycosidasedigestion, chemical fragmentation in combination with meth-ylationanalysis revealed that it is a nonasaccharide; Man16(Gaiβ13GlcNAcβ12Man13)Manβ14GlcNAcβ14(Galβ14Fuc16)GlcNAcThis structure is quite unique in that a novel galactosylatedfucose residue is attached to the reducing terminal N-acetyl-glucosamineresidue. galactosylated Fuc N-linked sugar chain novel structure octopus rhodopsin |
