Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains an amphiphilic cAMP-binding glycoprotein at the outer face of the plasma membrane (M(r) = 54,000). It is converted to a hydrophilic form by treatment with glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipases C and D (GPI-PLC/D), suggesting membrane anchorage by a covalently bound glycolipid. Determination of the constituents of the purified anchor by gas-liquid chromatography and amino acid analysis reveals the presence of glycerol, myo-inositol, glucosamine, galactose, mannose, ethanolamine, and asparagine (as the carboxyl-terminal amino acid of the Pronase-digested protein to which the anchor is attached). Complementary results are obtained by metabolic labeling, indicating that fatty acids and phosphorus are additional anchor constituents. The phosphorus is resistant to alkaline phosphatase, whereas approximately half is lost from the protein after treatment with GPI-PLD or nitrous acid, and all is removed by aqueous HF indicating the presence of two phosphodiester bonds. Inhibition of N-glycosylation by tunicamycin or removal of protein-bound glycan chains by N-glycanase or Pronase does not abolish radiolabeling of the anchor structure by any of the above compounds. Analysis of the products obtained after sequential enzymic and chemical degradation of the anchor agrees with the arrangement of constituents in GPIs from higher eucaryotes. Evidence for anchorage of the yeast cAMP-binding protein by a GPI anchor is strengthened additionally by the reactivity of the GPI-PLC-cleaved anchor with antibodies directed against the cross-reacting determinant of trypanosomal variant surface glycoproteins.

Thirty-four human sera containing parietal cell autoantibodies (PCA) specifically immunoprecipitated two antigens, with apparent molecular masses of 60-90 kDa and 100-120 kDa under nonreducing conditions and 60-90 kDa and 120-150 kDa under reducing conditions, from porcine gastric membrane extracts. A third antigen of 92 kDa was only observed in immunoprecipitates analyzed under reducing conditions. By immunoblotting, 24 of the 34 PCA-positive sera reacted with only the 60-90-kDa antigen, three reacted with a broad 60-120-kDa smear, one reacted only with a 92-kDa antigen and six did not react. Reactivity with the 60-90-kDa antigen was observed with gastric membranes from dog, pig, rat, and rabbit. Twenty PCA-negative sera did not react with these components by immunoprecipitation or immunoblotting. PCA reactivity with the 60-90-kDa antigen was abolished when the gastric membranes were (a) digested with Pronase, (b) reduced with 100 mM dithiothreitol, (c) treated with sodium periodate, or (d) digested with N-glycanase. The 60-90-kDa and 100-120-kDa components were insensitive to neuraminidase treatment. N-glycanase digestion of 125I-labeled antigens purified by immunoprecipitation and preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis collapsed the 60-90-kDa antigen to a sharp 34-kDa band; the 100-120-kDa component was unaffected. These observations suggest that (i) parietal cell antigens comprise three components of 60-90, 92, and 100-120 kDa; (ii) the epitopes differ in conformational sensitivity; (iii) the 60-90-kDa antigen is a conserved molecule comprising a 34-kDa core protein extensively glycosylated with N-linked oligosaccharides; (iv) sialic acid residues are not present in the 60-90- and 100-120-kDa molecules, and (v) the carbohydrate and protein moieties of the 60-90-kDa molecule are required for antibody binding.

Cow conceptuses were flushed from uteri on Day 17 of pregnancy and cultured with [3H]glucosamine and [14C]leucine. A high molecular weight glycoprotein (HMWG) having an Mr = 765,000 was isolated by a combination of anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. Selective chemical and enzymatic degradations were performed. The HMWG was resistant to Pronase and peptide: N-glycanase F. Only endo-beta-galactosidase and harsh alkaline reducing conditions were successful in dissociating carbohydrate from the protein core, suggesting that carbohydrate chains are N-linked to Asn and contain beta-galactosidic linkages. The intact molecule could bind to an affinity column of Datura stramoniom lectin, suggesting the presence of beta(1-4)-linked oligomers of N-acetylglucosamine. The susceptibility of HMWG to endo-beta-galactosidase suggests that at least some of these oligomers are substituted with galactose to form N-acetyllactosamine. Binding of HMWG to lectin could be inhibited partially with N-acetyllactosamine or completely with a mixture of N, N'-diacetylchitobiose and N, N', N"-triacetylchitotriose. In summary, properties of the HMWG suggest it contains lactosaminoglycan components and is almost identical to an HMWG secreted by the Day 16 ovine conceptus. Thus, embryos of these two ruminant species secrete similar molecules during early pregnancy.

Thyroglobulin from colloid as well as from membrane fractions became radiolabeled upon incubation of calf thyroid slices with [35S]sulfate. The identity of the sulfate-labeled molecule was established by immunoprecipitation, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Bio-Gel A-5m filtration, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Size analysis by gel filtration of [35S]glycopeptides and hydrazine-released oligosaccharides indicated that the sulfate was primarily located in the complex (unit B) carbohydrate units of thyroglobulin. Moreover, although [35S]sulfate-labeled oligosaccharides were cleaved by N-glycanase to the same extent as those labeled with [3H]mannose, they were not released by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase under conditions that led to the complete removal of polymannose carbohydrate (unit A). The failure of 35S-labeled glycopeptides and oligosaccharides to bind to immobilized Concanavalin-A indicated that the sulfate residues in calf thyroglobulin are located in carbohydrate units with three or more branches. No evidence for the occurrence of tyrosine sulfate was found upon examination of Pronase digests of radiolabeled thyroglobulin, and chemical analyses excluded the presence of this amino acid down to a level of 0.5 residues/polypeptide subunit. Studies with density gradient-separated membrane fractions as well as with puromycin indicated that sulfate addition is a late event in thyroglobulin biosynthesis which occurs in the Golgi compartment. Furthermore, it was observed that the nondimerized thyroglobulin subunit was much less sulfate labeled than the mature molecule. The location of the sulfated carbohydrate in a terminal portion of the calf thyroglobulin peptide chain was suggested by the observation that the subunit [mol wt (Mr) = 330,000] can undergo a transformation, presumably mediated by an endogenous protease, to a sulfate-free component (Mr = approximately 270,000) with the appearance of a 35S-labeled 60,000 Mr fragment; the release of a single sulfate-labeled peptide (Mr = 60,000) by mild trypsin treatment was consistent with a sequestration of sulfate groups in the thyroglobulin molecule.

We have recently reported the cloning of the rat zymogen granule membrane glycoprotein GP-3 and the related pancreatic secretory lipase (Wishart, M. J., Andrews, P. C., Nichols, R., Blevins, G. T., Logsdon, C.D., and Williams, J. A. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 10303-10311). Specific antipeptide antibodies were generated against both GP-3 and secretory lipase and used for the biochemical and physiological characterization of GP-3. Western blotting confirmed that GP-3 was found exclusively in zymogen granule membranes and was absent from zymogen granule content which contains the majority of secretory lipase. Extraction of zymogen granule membranes with Triton X-114 showed GP-3 to be significantly more hydrophobic than lipase. The GP-3 amino acid sequence contains one potential N-linked glycosylation site at Asn-336. The loss of concanavalin A labeling after both chemical deglycosylation with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and enzymatic deglycosylation with N-glycanase showed GP-3 to possess a small N-linked oligosaccharide side chain. Digestion of intact and permeabilized zymogen granules with the nonspecific protease Pronase localized GP-3 to the inner surface of zymogen granule membranes. Since GP-3 is resident on the inner surface of the zymogen granule membrane, it should appear on the outer cellular surface after exocytosis. Although membrane attachment of GP-3 was resistant to treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, we observed that GP-3 is released into the pancreatic juice and that secretion of GP-3 was greatly enhanced by cholecystokinin.

The Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sea urchin egg receptor for sperm is a cell surface glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 350 kDa. Recent studies indicate that the sulfated O-linked glycans isolated from the receptor bind to acrosome-reacted sperm. The purified receptor was analyzed with respect to amino acid and carbohydrate content and shown to be composed of 70% carbohydrate by weight. Compositional analysis indicated that both N- and O-linked oligosaccharide chains were present. After peptide:N-glycanase treatment of the receptor to remove most of the N-linked glycan chains, the majority of the sialic acid residues remained associated with the receptor and were shown by several types of experiments to be composed of sulfated oligosialic acid units attached to the O-linked glycan chains of the receptor. Chemical and physical studies on oligosialic chains discovered earlier in the Pronase-generated glycopeptide fraction isolated from the egg cell surface complex of another species of sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, established that these molecules had the structure: (SO(4)-)-9Neu5Gc alpha2(-->5-O(glycolyl)Neu5Gc alpha2-->)n. Based on comparative and analytical studies, it was concluded that this sulfated oligosaccharide is a component of a GalNAc-containing chain that is O-linked to the polypeptide chain of the sea urchin egg receptor for sperm. Using a competitive inhibition of fertilization bioassay it was shown that the sulfated oligosialic acid chains derived from the S. purpuratus egg cell surface complex inhibited fertilization; the nonsulfated form of this oligosialic chain had little inhibitory activity.

Some years ago, a lectin designated CBP70 that recognized glucose (Glc) but had a stronger affinity for N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), was first isolated from HL60 cell nuclei. Recently, a cytoplasmic form of this lectin was described, and one 82 kDa nuclear ligand was characterized for the nuclear CBP70. In the present study, the use of Pronase digestion and the trifluoromethanesulphonic acid (TFMS) procedure strongly suggest that the nuclear and the cytoplasmic CBP70 have a same 23 kDa polypeptide backbone and, consequently, could be the same protein. In order to know the protein better and to obtain the best recombinant possible in the future, the post-translational modification of the nuclear and cytoplasmic CBP70 was analyzed in terms of glycosylation. Severals lines of evidence indicate that both forms of CBP70 are N- and O-glycosylated. Surprisingly, this glycosylation pattern differs between the two forms, as revealed by beta-elimination, hydrazinolysis, peptide-N-glycosydase F (PNGase F), and TFMS reactions. The two preparations were analyzed by affinity chromatography on immobilized lectins [Ricinus communis-l agglutinin (RCA-I), Arachis hypogaea agglutinin (PNA), Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA), and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)] and by lectin-blotting analysis Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA), Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA), Lotus tetragonolobus (Lotus), succinylated-WGA, and Psathyrella velutina agglutinin (PVA)]. Both forms of CBP70 have the following sugar moities: terminal beta Gal residues, Gal beta 1-3 GalNAc, Man alpha 1-3 Man, sialic acid alpha 2-6 linked to Gal or GalNAc; and sialic acid alpha 2-3 linked to Gal. However, only nuclear CBP70 have terminal GlcNAc and alpha-L-fucose residues. All these data are consistent with the fact that different glycosylation pattern found for each form of CBP70 might act as a complementary signal for cellular targeting.

An approach for the characterization of glycosylation sites and oligosaccharide heterogeneity in glycoproteins based on a combination of nonspecific proteolysis, deglycosylation, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry (MALDI-FT MS) is described. Glycoproteins were digested with Pronase yielding primarily glycopeptides and amino acids. Nonglycosylated peptide fragments were susceptible to complete Pronase digestion to their constituent amino acids. Steric hindrance prohibited the digestion of the peptide moiety attached to the glycan. Glycopeptides were desalted and concentrated using solid-phase extraction and analyzed by MALDI MS. The oligosaccharides were also analyzed by MALDI MS after releasing the glycans from glycoproteins using PNGase F. The peptide moiety of the glycopeptides was identified by subtracting the masses of the glycans derived from PNGase F treatment from the masses of the glycopeptides. The experimental strategy was validated using glycoproteins with known oligosaccharide structures, ribonuclease B and chicken ovalbumin. This procedure was then used to determine the N-glycosylation sites and site heterogeneity of a glycoprotein whose glycosylation pattern was unknown, namely, the Xenopus laevis egg cortical granule lectin. This procedure is useful for determining protein site heterogeneity and structural heterogeneities of the oligosaccharide moiety of glycoproteins.
