Invertase, extracted from broken cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae X-2180 mm2 mannan mutant, was separated into a fraction insoluble in 75% ammonium sulfate (P75 invertase, 36% carbohydrate) and a soluble fraction (S75 invertase, 53% carbohydrate). The latter reacted with antibodies specific for the alpha 1 leads to 6-linked mannose of the mannoprotein outer chain, whereas the P75 invertase failed to react with this antiserum although it did react with serum against terminal alpha 1 leads to 3-linked mannose units that are characteristic of the mannoprotein core. A bacterial endo alpha 1 leads to 6-mannanase removed the outer chains from the S75 invertase and converted it to a form that was similar in electrophoretic and immunochemical properties to the P75 invertase, whereas the endomannanase had little effect on the latter invertase. The results suggest that the P75 invertase is a form of the enzyme to which only the core oligosaccharide units had been added, and the S75 invertase represents an enzyme fraction to which the polysaccharide outer chains were also attached. A strong anomeric PMR signal for unsubstituted alpha 1 leads to 6-linked mannose in the S75 invertase, and a much reduced signal in the P75 invertase and endomannanase-digested S75 invertase, support these conclusions. Endo-N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase digestion of the S75 and P75 invertases, as well as of a purified wild type yeast invertase, produced an apparently identical series of 3 to 4 carbohydrate-containing proteins that were separable by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate but that migrated as a single band on isoelectric focusing. The bands ranged from about 63,000 to 69,000 daltons and differed by the size of one or more carbohydrate core units each of 15 mannoses and 1 N-acetylglucosamine. The results suggest that the external invertase molecules contain some core units without attached outer chains, and that the cells contain a precursor form of the enzyme to which only the core units have been added. In support of this conclusion, PMR spectra and chromatographic patterns show that the core fragments from the P75, S75, and wild type invertases are essentially identical.

Previously, Man8-14GlcNAc oligosaccharides were isolated from highly purified Saccharomyces cerevisiae invertase and shown by one-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy and alpha 1,2-linkage-specific mannosidase digestion to constitute a homologous series of nearly homogeneous compounds, which appeared to define the intermediates in oligosaccharide core synthesis in yeast (Trimble, R.B. and Atkinson, P.H. (1986) J. Biol. Chem., 261, 9815-9824). To evaluate whether invertase oligosaccharides reflected global core processing of yeast glycans, the soluble glycoprotein pool of disrupted log-phase cells was digested with endo-beta-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase H and Man8-13GlcNAc were isolated by Bio-Gel P-4 chromatography. Although analysis of each size class by one-dimensional 400 MHz and two-dimensional 500 MHz phase-sensitive COSY 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed considerable structural heterogeneity in all but Man8GlcNAc, the major positional isomer in Man9-13GlcNAc (approximately 50%) was identical to that previously elucidated on invertase. The heterogeneity resided in four families of oligosaccharides: (i) Glc3Man9GlcNAc----Man8 GlcNAc trimming intermediates; (ii) alpha-mannosidase degradation products of the principal isomers; (iii) mannan elongation intermediates; (iv) core structures with the alpha 1,2-linked mannose usually removed by the processing alpha-mannosidase. The potential for the vacuolar alpha-mannosidase (AMS1 gene product) to generate heterogeneity in vitro was confirmed by isolating oligosaccharides from AMS1 and ams1 yeast strains in the presence of a Man13GlcNAc[3H]-ol marker (where GlcNAc[3H]-ol is N-acetylglucosamin [1-3H]itol). Degradation of the Man13GlcNAc[3H]-ol to Man9-12GlcNAc[3H]-ol occurred in the former, but not in the latter. A role for the vacuolar alpha-mannosidase in generating at least some heterogeneity in vivo was inferred from the 1H NMR spectrum of the AMS1 Man11GlcNAc pool, which showed more structural isomerism than seen in the spectrum of a comparable ams1 Man11GlcNAc preparation. Thus, the principal biosynthetic pathway of inner core mannan in Saccharomyces is defined by the Man8-13GlcNAc oligosaccharides found on external invertase, while structural heterogeneity in these size classes results from precursor processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, core extension in the Golgi and metabolic degradation in the vacuole.

Cleavage of yeast invertase by alpha-chymotrypsin produced a number of small glycopeptides that were highly active as elicitors of ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in suspension-cultured tomato cells. Five of these elicitors were purified and their amino acid sequence determined. They all had sequences corresponding to known sequences of yeast invertase, and all contained an asparagine known to carry a N-linked small high mannose glycan. The most active glycopeptide elicitor induced ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase half-maximally at a concentration of 5-10 nM. Structure-activity relationships of the peptide part were analyzed by further cleavage of a defined glycopeptide elicitor with various proteolytic enzymes. Removal of the C-terminal phenylalanine enhanced the elicitor activity, whereas removal of N-terminal arginine impaired it. A glycopeptide with the peptide part trimmed to the dipeptide arginine-asparagine was still fully active as elicitor. Glycopeptides with identical amino acid sequences were further separated into fractions differing in the oligosaccharide side chain. A given peptide had high elicitor activity when carrying a glycan with 10-12 mannosyl residues (Man10-12GlcNAc2), a 3-fold lower activity when carrying Man9GlcNAc2 and a 100-fold lower activity when carrying Man8GlcNAc2. The oligosaccharides, released by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H from the pure glycopeptide elicitors, acted as suppressors of elicitor-induced ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. A series of such oligosaccharides in the size range of Man8-13GlcNAc was purified. The structure and composition of the purified oligosaccharides corresponded to the known small high mannose glycans of yeast invertase as verified by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 600 MHz. The highest suppressor activities were obtained with the oligosaccharides containing 10-12 mannosyl residues (Man10-12GlcNAc). The oligosaccharide Man8 GlcNAc was ineffective as a suppressor. Thus, the structural requirements for the free oligosaccharides to act as efficient suppressors were the same as for the oligosaccharide side chains of the glycopeptides for high elicitor activity. We propose that the glycan suppressors bind to the same recognition site as the glycopeptide elicitors without inducing a response.

Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Arthrobacter protophormiae was tested for its capacity to release N-linked sugar chains from native yeast invertase. The enzyme liberated about 80% of the sugar chains from the native invertase. Deglycosylated invertase was digested by chymotrypsin or pepsin, and twelve N-acetylglucosamine-containing glycopeptides were isolated. The amino acid sequences of these glycopeptides were analyzed by a protein sequencer, and the elution position of 4-L-aspartylglycosylamine was directly identified by conventional sequencing. The endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase was found to remove mainly nine sugar chains from native invertase.

The N-linked glycans from the 52/54-kDa medium protein and cell wall beta-fructosidase, two glycoproteins secreted by carrot suspension culture cells, were characterized. Carrot cells were labelled with [3H]glucosamine or [3H]fucose. The 52/54-kDa medium protein was isolated from the culture medium and beta-fructosidase from cell walls. The purified proteins were digested with trypsin and glycopeptides were isolated and sequenced. Glycans obtained from individual glycopeptides were separated by gel filtration chromatography and characterized by concanavalin A chromatography, by treatments with exoglycosidases and by sugar composition analysis. The 52/54-kDa medium protein and cell wall beta-fructosidase have one high-mannose-type glycan similar to those from yeast and animal glycoproteins. In addition, the 52/54-kDa medium protein has three complex-type and cell wall beta-fructosidase two complex-type glycans per polypeptide. The complex-type glycans isolated from individual glycosylation sites are fairly large and very heterogeneous. The smallest of these glycans has the structure [Xyl](Man)3[Fuc](GlcNAc]2Asn (square brackets indicating branching) whereas the larger ones carry additional sugars like terminal N-acetylglucosamine and possibly rhamnose and arabinose in the case of the 52/54-kDa medium protein and only arabinose in the case of cell wall beta-fructosidase. These terminal sugars are linked to the alpha-mannose residues of the glycan cores. The 52/54-kDa medium protein is secreted with large and homogeneous complex glycans, their heterogeneity originates from slow processing after secretion. The complex glycans from cell wall beta-fructosidase are processed before the enzyme is integrated into the cell wall.

We immobilized human milk galactosyltransferase covalently to CNBr- and tresylchloride-activated Sepharose. The enzyme was also immobilized non-covalently to Concanavalin A-Sepharose and to monoclonal anti-galactosyltransferase antibodies which were bound via their Fc-fragment to Protein G-Sepharose. With the covalent methods, up to 72% of the enzyme could be bound to the carrier, but more than 90% of the specific activity was lost. In contrast, non-covalent immobilization yielded only about 50% immobilization efficiency, but 21% and 25% of specific activity, respectively, could be recovered. The stability of immobilized galactosyltransferase as compared to native enzyme was considerably increased: at room temperature, 55% of initial immobilized activity was lost after 65 hours compared to 95% of loss of soluble enzyme activity. Immobilized galactosyltransferase was then used for continuous galactosylation of the glycoproteins ovalbumin, endo H-treated yeast invertase and bovine serum albumin-N-acetylglucosamine in a "slurry" reactor. 55%, 35% and 25%, respectively, of all acceptor sites on these glycoproteins could be galactosylated by this method.

Glycoproteins immobilized on membranes can be detected with high selectivity and sensitivity by the four-step procedure described in this work. The glycoproteins are first oxidized by sodium periodate and then polyacrylic polyhydrazides are coupled to the aldehyde groups generated in the sugar part of the glycoproteins. In the third step, a glycoenzyme, such as horseradish peroxidase, is coupled to the remaining hydrazide groups on the polymer through the aldehydes formed in its glycan chains. In the last step, the visualization of glycoproteins is achieved through the reaction product of the bound glycoenzyme. The sensitivity of the glycoprotein detection is most critically dependent on the hydrazide reagent. Thus, dihydrazides were not satisfactory, a trihydrazide was better, and polyhydrazides were the best. Two different polyhydrazides were used. One was based on acrylamide and the other on N-acryloyl-tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. The second one proved to be superior because it gave higher sensitivity with no detectable background staining. We have also investigated the influence of various reaction conditions on staining of glycoproteins having oligomannose and N-acetyllactosamine type glycan chains. Some of them, invertase and fetuin, could be detected with sensitivity similar to that of silver staining in gels and colloidal gold staining on the membranes. The detection of small quantities of Endo H-deglycosylated glycoproteins was possible under standard conditions only if several N-acetylglucosamine residues remained bound to the protein.

The secreted glycoproteins of Pichia pastoris contain more than 35% of their N-linked oligosaccharides as structures smaller than Man14GlcNAc2 (Man = mannose; GlcNAc = N-acetylglucosamine). On heterologous invertase produced in P. pastoris, approximately 85% of the oligosaccharides are in the size range Man8-14GlcNAc2. The structures appear to contain alpha-linked mannose. In addition, one-third of the structures contain net negative charge and can be radio-labelled in vivo with 32P. The largest oligosaccharides isolated from P. pastoris are significantly shorter than the hypermannosylated structures typical of S. cerevisiae, indicating that the factors which influence the processing of N-linked oligosaccharides in P. pastoris are different from those which influence processing in S. cerevisiae. The smaller N-linked oligosaccharides synthesized by P. pastoris resemble high-mannose oligosaccharides synthesized by animal cells, and this finding increases the utility of P. pastoris as a host for the production of heterologous glycoproteins.

Seedlings and suspension-cultured cells of carrot (Daucus carota) contain a cell wall associated as well as a soluble form of beta-fructosidase (beta F). These two forms have different pH optima: 4.6 for cell wall beta F and 5.6 for soluble beta F. Soluble beta F is relatively more abundant in the seedlings and cell wall beta F is relatively much more abundant in the cultured cells. Protoplasts of cultured cells have only the soluble form (pH optimum 5.6) indicating that the cell wall associated form is indeed extracellular in situ. Cell wall beta F was purified to homogeneity and has an Mr = 63,000. Antibodies raised against the deglycosylated enzyme cross-reacted with two soluble enzyme forms: in cultured cells, the soluble enzyme has an Mr = 58,000 and, in seedlings, there are two forms of Mr = 58,000 and 52,000. Treatment of purified cell wall beta F with endoglycosidase H and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (complete deglycosylation) indicated that the enzyme probably has one high mannose and two complex glycans. This was confirmed by HPLC analysis of [3H]GlcNAc- and [3H]fucose-labeled glycopeptides obtained after trypsin digestion of radioactively-labeled beta F. The amino acid composition shows that cell wall beta F has 18.6% glycine.

Human serum contains lectins which inhibit the uptake of mannose- and N-acetylglucosamine-terminated glycoproteins by isolated rat hepatic sinusoidal cells. In these experiments, calcium-dependent and calcium-independent human serum mannose-binding proteins have been isolated by affinity chromatography using mannan linked to four different supports. In electroblots both calcium-dependent and -independent serum mannose-binding proteins bound radioiodinated mannan and invertase in the presence of calcium ions, but the binding of calcium-dependent serum mannose-binding proteins was abolished by EDTA. Chicken antibodies were raised against serum mannose-binding proteins and an ELISA was developed. The principal calcium-independent serum mannose-binding protein is mannose-specific IgG as judged by immunodiffusion and electroblotting with anti-human IgG antibodies. The calcium-dependent serum mannose-binding protein is probably the secreted form of an intracellular hepatocyte mannose-binding protein since: antibodies raised against the 30 kDa subunit of the calcium-dependent serum mannose-binding protein also bound 30 kDa subunits of whole liver homogenate and purified human liver mannose-binding protein; antibodies to the human liver mannose-binding protein bound to the 30 kDa subunit of the calcium-dependent serum mannose-binding protein; and the binding specificities of the calcium-dependent serum mannose-binding protein for N-acetylglucosamine and fucose as well as mannose, and its recognition of the core region of an oligosaccharide rather than only the peripheral sugars, were identical to those reported for the hepatocyte mannose-binding protein. The physiological ligands of these serum mannose-binding proteins are unknown but they could bind noxious glycoproteins which enter the circulation prior to their removal by the sinusoidal mannose receptor.
