Approximately 70% of fucose-labeled glycopeptides from the cell surface and cellular material of rat fibroblasts (3Y1B cells) were hydrolyzed by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D in the presence of neuraminidase, beta-galactosidase and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Structure of the susceptible glycopeptides were found to be very similar to non-membrane glycopeptides of the complex heteropolysaccharide unit, such as the sialylated glycopeptides of thyroglobulin. On the other hand, the resistant glycopeptides were also refractory toward endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and alpha-mannosidase, and appeared to be a mixture of glycopeptides with unique structures.

Lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) (EC 3.2.1.23/62) is a major intestinal microvillar membrane glycoprotein that digests lactose, the main carbohydrate of milk. To investigate structure/function relationships of LPH and to assess the impact of intracellular processing on the function of LPH and on its transport to the cell surface, we have expressed a full-length cDNA encoding LPH in mammalian COS-1 cells. Analysis of the expressed protein by immunoprecipitation with monoclonal anti-LPH antibodies and treatments with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed two polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of 215 and 230 kDa, representing the mannose-rich (pro-LPHh) and complex (pro-LPHc) glycosylated forms of the precursor. By contrast to pro-LPH in human enterocytes, the expressed pro-LPH in COS-1 cells does not undergo intracellular proteolytic cleavage to generate a form similar to the mature enzyme of the brush-border membrane. Intracellular cleavage, however, is not essential for the molecule to acquire its enzymatic activity since pro-LPH in COS-1 cells is enzymatically as active as LPH isolated from intestinal brush-border membranes. Indirect immunofluorescent staining of transfected cells demonstrated that pro-LPH is expressed at the cell surface. This was further corroborated by the sensitivity of the complex glycosylated form (pro-LPHc) to trypsin in the medium. Our results provide the first conclusive evidence that pro-LPH is an enzymatically active molecule and that the intracellular proteolysis of pro-LPH is not essential for the generation of transport-competent forms of LPH.

Chromatographic methods were developed for the separation and characterization of acidic (sialylated) and neutral (asialo-complex and high-mannose) oligosaccharides released from glycoproteins with peptide N-glycosidase F. endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F and endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H using a carbohydrate analyzer (Dionex BioLC). All the carbohydrate separations were carried out on a polymeric pellicular anion-exchange column HPIC-AS6/CarboPac PA-1 (Dionex) using only two eluants namely, 0.5 M NaOH and 3% acetic acid/NaOH pH 5.5, which were mixed with water to generate various gradients. Developed conditions for quantitative detection of carbohydrates with pulsed amperometry were necessary to obtain steady baselines at 0.1-0.3 microA output with suitable sensitivity (less than 5 pmol) in separations employing a variety of acidic and alkaline sodium acetate gradients. Oligosaccharides released from heat-denatured and trypsin-treated glycoproteins were purified initially from large-scale digestion (greater than 0.1 g) by extraction of peptide material into phenol/chloroform and finally by ion-exchange chromatography of the acqueous phase. Oligosaccharides isolated from the peptide N-glycosidase digests of bovine fetuin, human transferrin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein gave multiple peaks in each charge group in separations based on the charge content at pH 5.5. Alkaline sodium acetate gradients were developed to obtain oligosaccharide maps of the glycoproteins within 60 min, in which separated oligosaccharides eluted in the order of neutral, mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-sialylated species based on both charge, size and structure. Baseline separations were obtained with neutral oligosaccharide types but mixtures of high-mannose and complex types were poorly resolved. The high-mannose peaks were eliminated specifically from complex oligosaccharides by digesting with alpha-mannosidase. Treatment with beta-galactosidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase resulted in a decrease of the oligosaccharide elution times corresponding to the number of sugar residues lost, the profile of changes was highly reproducible. In contrast, treatment with alpha-L-fucosidase, endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F and endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H resulted in an increase in their corresponding oligosaccharide retention times similar to the presence of an additional sugar residue. Conditions developed for separation of the reduced oligosaccharides and also a mixture of monosaccharide to oligosaccharide containing about 15 sugar residues within 30 min were useful in determining the effect of endo- and exo-glycosidases on porcine thyroglobulin oligosaccharides. Changes in elution time of the oligosaccharides following specific glycosidase digestions combined with methylation analysis provided a rapid and sensitive tool for confirmation of the carbohydrate primary structures present in thyroglobulin.

The structure of the N-linked oligosaccharide of the 85-kDa surface glycoprotein (Tc-85) from the infective trypomastigote form of Trypanosoma cruzi was investigated. Tc-85 metabolically labeled with [14C]glucose was purified by affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose. Binding to the lectin was lost on treatment of Tc-85 with neuraminidase. The N-linked asialo-oligosaccharide was released by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F digestion of asialo-Tc-85 and was further analyzed using specific exoglycosidases. [14C]fucose was detected after alpha-L-fucosidase treatment or mild acid hydrolysis. The afucosyl oligosaccharide was 3H-labeled by the galactose oxidase-NaB3H4 method. [3H]Galactose was released by alpha-galactosidase, and only then was beta-galactosidase effective in removing another galactose. The gal(alpha 1-3)gal unit was demonstrated by periodate oxidation studies on the [3H]galactose-labeled asialo-glycoprotein. The presence of gal(alpha 1-3)gal in Tc-85 could be related to the recent finding of elevated antibody levels against this epitope in patients with Chagas' disease.

A full-length cDNA encoding human acid beta-galactosidase was inserted into the baculovirus genome under transcriptional regulation of the viral polyhedrin gene promoter. The Spodoptera frugiperda cells infected with the recombinant virus expressed the beta-galactosidase activity 300-fold higher than human fibroblasts. Immunoblot analysis revealed an 82-kDa protein band, which was modified in molecular size by deglycosylating enzymes; an 80-kDa band appeared after N-glycanase digestion, and two bands (80-kDa and 81-kDa) appeared after endoglycosidase H digestion. This result suggested that the enzyme molecule was glycosylated, partly with high-mannose type oligosaccharides. The intracellular distribution of the enzyme observed by indirect immunofluorescence staining was perinuclear or diffusely cytoplasmic, and not characteristic of lysosomes; the enzyme was secreted to the culture medium in large quantities, and not translocated to lysosomes. Possible application of this expression system to the studies of the structure and function of normal and mutant human beta-galactosidases was discussed.

An infectious herpesvirus mutant has been constructed in which a major structural envelope glycoprotein gene was replaced by a hybrid gene encoding a novel fusion protein consisting of the N-terminus of the viral glycoprotein joined to Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase (beta Gal). Specifically, we fused DNA encoding the first 157 amino acids of the structural glycoprotein gIII from pseudorabies virus strain Becker to the E. coli lacZ gene in a bacterial expression vector. The resulting hybrid gene was then used to replace the wild-type gIII gene in the virus by cotransfection of plasmid and viral DNA. The desired viral recombinants were identified by their inability to react with specific monoclonal antibodies that recognized only wild-type gIII protein. One such mutant virus, PRV-Z1, was chosen for further analysis. PRV-Z1 expressed a glycosylated gIII-beta Gal fusion protein after infection of PK15 cells. The fusion protein has no demonstrable beta Gal activity and, although glycosylated, remains sensitive to the enzyme endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, unlike the mature gIII gene product, indicating that the fusion protein was incompletely processed.

The accumulation of the relatively large amounts of beta-glucuronidase in microsomal fractions of normal mice depends on formation of complexes with the protein egasyn. Unexpectedly, it was found that the egasyn gene also affects the processing of beta-glucuronidase, which is segregated to lysosomes. In egasyn-positive mice lysosomal beta-glucuronidase from liver has a mean pI of 5.9 with a minor proportion at pI 5.4, whereas in egasyn-negative mice the proportion of the two lysosomal forms is reversed. Combined experiments measuring susceptibility to neuraminidase and to endoglycosidase H and specific binding to Ricinus communis lectin-agarose columns showed that the alterations in isoelectric point were associated with a decrease in complex oligosaccharides of lysosomal beta-glucuronidase in egasyn-positive mice. Since this alteration occurs not only in a congenic strain carrying the Eg0 gene but also in several other inbred strains that are homozygous for this gene, it is considered to be a genuine effect of the Eg gene rather than other genes that might regulate oligosaccharide processing. Also, the alteration is likely to be a result of direct physical interaction of the egasyn protein and lysosomal beta-glucuronidase, since a second lysosomal enzyme, beta-galactosidase, which does not form complexes with egasyn, is unaffected. The results suggest a model in which egasyn not only causes accumulation of beta-glucuronidase in the microsomal compartment but also acts upon the precursor to lysosomal beta-glucuronidase to alter its interaction with trans-Golgi-apparatus processing enzymes.

The biosynthesis and maturation of the human intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH; EC 3.2.1.23-3.2.1.62) has been studied in cultured intestinal biopsies and mucosal explants. Short time pulse labelling revealed on high mannose intermediate of Mr 215,000 which was converted upon endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo-H) digestion to a polypeptide of Mr 200,000. The brush border form of LPH was revealed after longer pulse periods and has Mr 160,000. It possesses mainly complex oligosaccharide chains and, owing to its partial endo-H sensitivity, at least one chain of the high mannose type. Leupeptin partially inhibited the appearance of the Mr-160,000 polypeptide. Monensin treatment of biopsies resulted in the modification of the Mr-160,000 species to the Mr-140,000 molecule, which was endo-H sensitive. Pulse-chase analysis indicated a slow post-translational processing of the high mannose precursor (Mr 215,000) to yield the mature brush-border form (Mr 160,000) of LPH. Our results further indicate that LPH is synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor which is intracellularly cleaved to yield the mature brush border of LPH. The data presented suggest that this cleavage occurs during the translocation of the molecule across the Golgi complex.

The carbohydrate portions of beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae were found to be composed of two types of sugar chains. They were released equally well with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, but were distinct in their chain length. The long sugar chains (fraction I), corresponding to 4% of the total carbohydrate chains, were composed of galactomannan-type oligosaccharides, which consisted of mannose, galactose, glucose, and glucosamine in the molar ratios of 30.0, 16.4, 1.4, and 2.1 per mol of aspartic acid, respectively. The short sugar chains (fraction II), corresponding to 96% of the total carbohydrate chains, consisted of mannose, galactose, glucose, and glucosamine in the molar ratios of 9.4, 0.6, 0.3, and 1.7 per mol of aspartic acid, respectively. Both types of sugar chains were fractionated into neutral and acidic subfractions. The neutral subfraction of fraction I (I-N), corresponding to 1% of the total carbohydrate chains, was very heterogeneous in length and was resistant to digestion with alpha-mannosidase and beta-galactosidase. The neutral subfraction of fraction II (II-N), corresponding to 91% of the total carbohydrate, was composed of a mixture of oligosaccharides with oligomanneoside chains (Mann GlcNAcol). The major components were similar to high mannose-type oligosaccharides of mammalian origin in their composition and size (n = 5-9). However, digestion of II-N with alpha 1,2-mannosidase produced considerable amounts of Man6GlcNAcol, an unusual product in the case of high mannose-type oligosaccharides of mammalian origin, in addition to the common one, Man5GlcNAcol.

Ion exchange chromatography at high pH with pulsed amperometric detection of the eluted glycans permitted resolution of the eight major components in the mixture of asparagine-linked glycans derived from the single glycosylation site of ovalbumin. The individual glycans were first partially separated according to size, and were characterized by fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry and specific enzymatic degradation with beta-galactosidase and endoglycosidase H; subnanomolar quantities of all eight components could subsequently be unequivocally identified in the elution diagram. To ascertain that the chromatographic separation of the ovalbumin glycan mixture was not restricted to the asparagine-linked glycans, it was established that the corresponding mixture of reducing oligosaccharides (asparagine removed) or Asn-oligosaccharides blocked at the alpha-amino group with biotin gave very similar resolution of the eight glycans. In the absence of pure reference compounds, the quantification of the different glycans by the amperometric detection system was evaluated by comparing the electrochemical signal to the molecular ion peak intensity in the mass spectrometer. With one exception, the two methods were in good agreement, which suggests that the amperometric detection system yields a valid quantitative estimate for most of these chemically related compounds.
