Abstract: | This report describes a convenient method for the rapid and efficient
release of N-linked oligosaccharides from low microgram amounts of
glycoproteins. A 96-well MultiScreen assay system containing a
polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane is employed to immobilize
glycoproteins for subsequent enzymatic deglycosylation. Recombinant
tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is used to demonstrate the
deglycosylation of 0.1-50 micrograms of a glycoprotein. This method enabled
the recovery of a sufficient amount of N-linked oligosaccharides released
enzymatically with peptide N-glycosidase F (PNGaseF) from as little as 0.5
microgram rt-PA for subsequent analysis by matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI- TOF) mass spectrometry. The
immobilization of rt-PA to the PVDF membrane did not sterically inhibit the
PNGaseF-mediated release of oligosaccharides from rt-PA as determined by
tryptic mapping experiments. Comparison of the oligosaccharides released
from 50 micrograms of rt-PA by either the 96-well plate method or by a
standard solution digestion procedure showed no significant differences in
the profiles obtained by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed
amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). Both neutral and sialylated
oligosaccharide standards spiked into wells were recovered equally as
determined by HPAEC-PAD. One advantage of this approach is that reduction
and alkylation can be performed on submicrogram amounts of glycoproteins
with easy removal of reagents prior to PNGaseF digestion. In addition, this
method allows 60 glycoprotein samples to be deglycosylated in 1 day with
MALDI-TOF or HPAEC-PAD analysis being performed on the following day.
