Abstract: | Sixteen asparagine-linked oligosaccharides ranging in size from (Man)2(GlcNAc)2 (Fuc)1 to (GlcNAc)6(Man)3(GlcNAc)2 were obtained from human 1-acid glycoprotein and fibrinogen, hen ovomucoid and ovalbumin, and bovine fetuin, fibrin and thyroglobulin by hydrazinolysis, mild acid hydrolysis and glycosidase treatment. The oligosaccharides hadN-acetylglucosamine at the reducing termini and mannose andN-acetylglucosamine residues at the non-reducing termini and were prepared for use asN-acetylglucosaminyltransferase substrates. Purification of the oligosaccharides involved gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography on reverse phase and amine-bonded silica columns. Structures were determined by 360 MHz and 500 MHz proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry and methylation analysis. Several of these oligosaccharides have not previously been well characterized.Abbreviations bis bisecting GlcNAc - DMSO dimethylsulfoxide - FAB fast atom bombardment - Fuc l-fucose - Gal d-galactose - GLC gas-liquid chromatography - GlcNAc or Gn N-acetyl-d-glucosamine - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - Man or M d-mannose - MES 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonate - MS mass spectrometry - NMR nuclear magnetic resonance - PIPES piperazine-N,N-bis(2-ethane sulfonic acid)the nomenclature of the oligosaccharides is shown in Table 1. |
