Abstract: | Human Sda-active Tamm-Horsfall urinary glycoprotein labelled with galactose oxidase and tritiated sodium borohydride was found to contain both galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine as 3H]-labelled terminal non-reducing sugars. Fragmentation of the macromolecule achieved by hydrazinolysis and acid hydrolysis was followed by fractionation of the degradation products by gel filtration, ion exchange and paper chromatography. A major product was a disaccharide which contained unlabelled galactose and 3H]-labelled N-acetylgalactosamine. Sugar analysis, sodium borohydride reduction, methylation analysis and enzymic degradation enabled the structure N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-β-(1→4)-D-galactose to be assigned to the disaccharide. |
