Abstract: | The structures of the N-linked sugar chains in the PAS-6 glycoprotein (PAS-6) from the bovine milk fat globule membrane were determined. The sugar chains were liberated from PAS-6 by hydrazinolysis, and the pyridylaminated sugar chains were separated into a neutral (6N) and two acidic chains (6M and 6D), the acidic sugar chains then being converted to neutral sugar chains (6MN and 6DN). 6N was separated into two neutral fractions (6N13 and 6N5.5), while 6MN and 6DN each gave a single fraction (6MN13 and 6DN13). The structure of 6N5.5, which was the major sugar chain in PAS-6, is proposed to be Man16 (Man13) Man14GlcNAc14GlcNAc-PA; 6N13, 6MN13 and 6DN13 are proposed to be Gal13Gal14GlcNAc12Man16 (Gal13Gal14GlcNAc12Man13) Man14GlcNAc14 (Fuc16)GlcNAc-PA;6M and 6D had 1 or 2 additional NeuAc residues at the non-reducing ends of 6MN13 and 6DN13, respectively. © 1998 Rapid Science Ltd |
