Asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of stem bromelain glycopeptides were quantitatively released by digestion with the almond glycopeptidase which cleaves beta-aspartylglycosylamine linkage in glycopeptides with oligopeptide moieties. The primary structures of the two oligosaccharide components, (Man)3(Xyl)1(Fuc)1(GlcNAc)2 and (Man)2-(Xyl)1(Fuc)1(GlcNAc)2 were elucidated as Man alpha 1 leads to 6Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Xyl beta 1 leads to 2]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads 4[Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3]GlcNAc and Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Xyl beta 1 leads to 2]Man beta 1 leads to 4 GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4[Fuc alpha 1 leads to 3] GlcNAc, respectively.

A new type of glycopeptidase hydrolyzing beta-aspartylglycosylamine linkages was partially purified from almond emulsin by chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and DE 52. The enzyme degraded stem bromelain glycopeptide, Asn-Asn(Man3,Xyl1,Fuc1,GlcNAc2)-Glu-Ser-Ser, to yield equimolar amounts of intact oligosaccharide, peptide (Asn-Asp-Glu-Ser-Ser), and ammonia. The Km value for the stem bromelain glycopeptide was 4 mM, and the optimum pH was 5.2. The enzyme was markedly inhibited by 10 mM Cu2+, Fe3+, and Zn2+. Thiol inhibitors and actinomycete protease inhibitors had no effect. The glycopeptides used as substrates were prepared from stem bromelain, ovalbumin or ovotransferrin. The enzyme hydrolyzed glycopeptides with 3-11 amino acid residues, whereas it did not hydrolyze glycopeptides with 1-2 amino acid residues. Furthermore, Asn-oligosaccharide was not inhibitory to the enzyme.

The glycopeptidase preparation that has been isolated from almond emulsin and acts on beta-aspartylglycosylamine linkages in glycopeptides was separated into three active fractions by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The three discrete species of glycopeptidase (Groups A, B and C) have been purified 30-, 136-, and 99-fold, respectively. The optimum pH value of Group A was 6.0 and those of Groups B and C, 5.0. Isoelectric points of Groups A, B and C were pH 7.7, 8.6 and 8.7, respectively. All three glycopeptidases hydrolyzed quantitatively glycopeptides with 3-11 amino acid residues prepared from stem bromelain, ovalbumin and ovotransferrin. Group C preferred glycopeptides with shorter peptide chains, whereas Groups A and B preferred those with longer chains. Glycopeptidase Group A also hydrolyzed intact glycoproteins such as stem bromelain, ovalbumin, Taka-amylase A and desialylated human transferrin.
