Peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F (PNGase F) is an amidase that cleaves the beta-aspartylglucosylamine bond of asparagine-linked glycans. The 34.8-kDa (314 amino acids) enzyme has a very broad substrate specificity and is extensively used for studies of the structure and function of glycoproteins. Enzymatic activity of PNGase F requires recognition of both the peptide and the carbohydrate components of the substrate. Only limited information regarding the mechanism of action of the enzyme is available. The three-dimensional structure of PNGase F has been determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.2-A resolution. The protein folds into two domains comprising residues 1-137 and 143-314, respectively. Both domains have eight-stranded antiparallel beta-sandwich motifs that are very similar in geometry. Both sandwiches have parallel principal axes and lie side by side. The covalent link between the domains is located at the top end of the molecule. Extensive hydrogen-bonding contacts occur along the full length of the interface between the two domains. Three different areas, all at the interface between the two domains, have been identified as possible locations for the active site of the enzyme. These include a hydrophobic bowl of about 20 A in diameter on one surface of the molecule, a long polar cleft on the opposite side, and a cleft at the bottom, which is lined with large aromatic residues including eight tryptophans.

In the present study, we investigated the nature and the importance of glycosylation of two mammalian bombesin receptors, the neuromedin B receptor (NMB-R) and the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R), using chemical cross-linking and enzymatic deglycosylation. [125I]-(D-Tyr0)NMB cross-linked to native NMB-R on rat C-6 glioblastoma cells or rat NMB-R transfected into BALB 3T3 cells revealed a single broad band, M(r) = 63,000, on both cell types that was not altered by DTT. NMB inhibited cross-linking specifically and saturably with an IC50 of 4.8 and 6.1 nM for C-6 and NMB-R transfected cells, respectively, and there was a close correlation between its ability to inhibit binding and its ability to inhibit cross-linking. A single broad band of M(r) = 82,000 was cross-linked with [125I]GRP on mouse GRP-R transfected BALB 3T3 cells. Peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta- glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F (PNGase F) digestion increased the mobility of the original band in C-6, NMB-R, and GRP-R transfected cell membranes. Endoglycosidase H (Endo-H) and endoglycosidase F2 (Endo-F2) digestion had no effect on both transfected cells. Neuraminidase digestion slightly increased the mobility of the original band in NMB-R transfected cell membranes; however, it had no effect on GRP-R transfected cell membranes. Endo-alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (O-glycanase) digestion subsequent to neuraminidase treatment showed no additional effect on either receptor. Serial partial deglycosylation of cross-linked NMB-Rs with PNGase F treatment for different incubation periods revealed one band of partially glycosylated receptor (53 kDa) besides the fully glycosylated and fully deglycosylated ones, showing that NMB-R has two oligosaccharide chains. Similarly, three partially deglycosylated species (72, 62, and 52 kDa) are seen with the GRP-R, indicating that the GRP-R has four oligosaccharide chains. Treatment of unlabeled membranes with PNGase F followed by affinity labeling resulted in fully deglycosylated NMB-R or 75% deglycosylated GRP-R. Deglycosylation of the NMB-R did not alter its affinity for NMB or alter G-protein coupling; however, 75% deglycosylation of the GRP-R both decreased its affinity for GRP and altered its ability to couple to G-proteins. The present results demonstrate that NMB-R on native and transfected cells is an N-linked sialoglycoprotein with two triantenary and/or tetraantenary complex oligosaccharide chains. The apparent M(r) of this sialoglycoprotein is 63,000, and this protein does not contain disulfide-linked subunits or O-linked carbohydrates.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

PNGase F is an amidase that hydrolyzes the beta-aspartylglucosylamine bond of asparagine-linked glycopeptides and glycoproteins. Enzymatic activity of PNGase F requires the recognition of both the peptide and the carbohydrate moiety. Crystals of PNGase F were grown by sitting drop vapor diffusion methods at 10 degrees C. The precipitating buffer contains both polyethylene glycol 3350 and (NH4)2SO4 in sodium acetate buffer at pH 4.3. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group C222(1) with cell dimensions: a = 87.16 A, b = 125.10 A, c = 79.33 A and diffract to 1.8 A resolution.

Endogenous acceptors in a Golgi apparatus-enriched subcellular fraction from rat liver were labeled with UDP-[3H]GalNAc. The great majority of these acceptors were protected from protease degradation in the absence of detergent. These molecules are therefore present in intact vesicles of the correct topological orientation, which are likely to be similar to the Golgi compartments of the intact cell. Several distinct glycoproteins are labeled, but most are different from those labeled with UDP-[3H]GlcNAc. The enzyme peptide-N4(N-acetyl-beta-glucosiminyl)asparagine amidase releases label from a few specific proteins, indicating that [3H]GalNAc is transferred to N-linked oligosaccharides. Both neutral and anionic N-linked oligosaccharides are found, the great majority of which do not bind to ConA-Sepharose. Most of the [3H]GalNAc found in neutral oligosaccharides is terminal and beta-linked. The negative charge on the anionic molecules is due to sialic acid, and phosphate. A major portion of the [3H] GalNAc in this fraction is acid labile, and is released with kinetics consistent with it being in a phosphodiester linkage. These results show the existence of a whole new class of GalNAc-containing N-linked oligosaccharides, and demonstrates that this in vitro approach can detect previously undescribed structures. O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis was also studied in the same labeled rat liver Golgi apparatus preparations. beta-Elimination releases approximately 95% of the peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase (PNGase F)-resistant label which, in the absence of other added nucleotides, is almost exclusively [3H] GalNAcitol. If other unlabeled sugar nucleotides and adenosine 3'-phosphate,5'-phosphosulfate are added during the chase period two anionic O-linked oligosaccharides are synthesized, indicating that the UDP-GalNAc:peptide-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase is at least in part functionally co-localized with enzymes that extend and modify O-linked oligosaccharides.

The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides from an adult female mouse submandibular gland mucin were released by treatment with peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F or endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H appeared to be more effective at releasing the asparagine-linked oligosaccharides from this mucin than was peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)-asparagine amidase F. After quantitative reductive labelling with the fluorophore, 8-aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-sulphonic acid, the oligosaccharides were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isolated. The individual oligosaccharides were sequenced by a battery of recombinant exoglycosidases. Approximately 50% of the oligosaccharides were of the high-mannose type. The five-mannose member of this family was the most prevalent. The second group of oligosaccharides were of the non-bisected hybrid type. No complex asparagine-linked oligosaccharides were detected. The hybrids exhibited both biantennary and triantennary branching patterns. The triantennary hybrid was the most common hybrid at > 30% of all oligosaccharides. With approximately 98% of the hybrid oligosaccharides sialylated and all lacking a bisecting N-acetylglucosamine, these oligosaccharides as a group have been only rarely observed in other glycoproteins. The fully sialylated triantennary hybrid may be unique.

The beta-subunit of the gastric H,K-ATPase is the most abundant glycoprotein in the tubulovesicular compartment of the acid-secreting parietal cells. The oligosaccharides of the beta-subunit have been shown to contain fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, galactose, and N-acetylgalactosamine. Previous studies have shown that the rabbit beta-subunit is devoid of N-acetylneuraminic acid. Here we report the structural features of the N-linked oligosaccharides of the beta-subunit from rabbit H,K-ATPase. We used glycosidase digestions and analysis by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry to analyze the peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase (PNGase F)- and endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H)-released oligosaccharides. The studies showed that the oligosaccharides of the beta-subunit are a mixture of both oligomannosidic and lactosamine-type structures. The high-mannose structures were identified as Man5Man8GlcNAc2 species. A striking finding was that all the branches of the lactosamine-type structures were terminated with Galalpha-->Galbeta-->GlcNAc extensions. All of the lactosamine-type structures were found to be core fucosylated and some of them contained one to three lactosamine repeats. We propose that a part of the adaptation of the gastric beta-subunit to the acidic environment of the stomach is through providing acid-stable terminal residues on the oligosaccharides.

Peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase A (PNGase A) was purified from almonds (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis). Contrary to previous results in the literature, the enzyme appeared to be a heterodimer with subunits of 55 and 27 kDa when analysed by SDS/PAGE and two-dimensional electrophoresis. Peaks corresponding to molecular masses of 54.2, 21.2 and 75.5 kDa were observed with matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The N-terminal sequences of the larger and the smaller chain were determined to be LASGYHSWAD and EPTPLHDFPP, respectively. Both polypeptides reacted with concanavalin A, indicating their glycoprotein nature. Upon digestion of PNGase with pepsin, the N-linked oligosaccharides were released with active PNGase and analysed as their 2-aminopyridine derivatives by two-dimensional HPLC and by matrix-assisted laser-desorption mass spectrometry. The most abundant N-glycan of the four species found exhibited the well known vacuole type structure, i.e. the pentasaccharide core with xylose and alpha1,3-linked fucose. The other structures either had an additional mannose residue and/or lacked the fucose. PNGase A was largely but not absolutely resistant to self-deglycosylation. However, only at an extremely high enzyme/substrate ratio, N-glycans released from PNGase A itself caused a detectable contamination of a PNGase digest of a glycopeptide.

We report here the isolation and characterization of a peptide-N4-(acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase (peptide: N-glycanase) from soybean (Glycine max) seeds. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity with 6.5% yield from defatted soybean meal extract by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, hydroxyapatite chromatography, and hydrophobic chromatography. The purified enzyme, designated PNGase-GM, had the apparent molecular mass of 93 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 90 kDa by gel filtration, indicating this PNGase is a monomeric protein. The enzyme showed maximal activity at pH 4.5-5.0. PNGase-GM was capable of hydrolyzing the beta-aspartylglycosylamine linkage (GlcNAc beta 1-->Asn) of various glycopeptide substrates bearing high-mannose type, hybrid type, and xylose/fucose-containing plant complex type N-glycan units, while this amidase was far less active on the glycopeptides bearing sialylated animal complex-type glycans.

The occurrence of two enzymes performing de-N-glycosylation of glycoproteins, namely, endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (ENGase, EC 3.2.1.96) and peptide-N(4)-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase (PNGase, EC 3.5.1.52) was investigated in barley, cv. Plaisant (a winter six rowed variety). The dry grain showed both activities according to the HPLC detection of the hydrolysis of fluorescent resorufin-labelled substrates. However, PNGase activity was 16-fold higher than ENGase activity. During germination, both activities increased, PNGase by only 1.5-fold compared to nearly 4.8-fold for ENGase over the 4 d following imbibition. The localization of these activities within the grain showed that the major contribution of PNGase was due to the endosperm, typically representing over 90% of the whole grain activity. In contrast, ENGase activity was especially high in the embryo and, later, in the developing plantlet (10-fold higher than in the endosperm), particularly in the rootlets and scutellum. In developing spikes, PNGase activity was 5.6-fold higher than in the leaves, but similar ENGase activity was measured in both organs. During grain formation, PNGase activity followed dry matter increase together with endosperm development. In contrast, ENGase activity dropped by 66% at the beginning of grain filling before stabilizing until harvest. The occurrence of de-N-glycosylation-performing enzymes throughout the development of barley raises the question of the nature of their natural substrates. Moreover, the prevalence of one of these enzymes over the other depending on the organ and the developmental stage, could represent the first evidence of specific functions for each enzyme.

The activities of the de-N-glycosylation enzymes endo-N-acetyl- [beta]-D-glucosaminidase (ENGase; EC 3.2.1.96) and peptide-N4- (N-acetyl-[beta]-D-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase (PNGase; EC 3.5.1.52) were monitored during germination and postgerminative development in radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv Flamboyant). The ENGase activity was detected only during postgermination, whereas the PNGase activity was present at high levels in both stages. When germination was inhibited with abscisic acid or cycloheximide, PNGase activity was detected at a basic level and ENGase activity was not detected at all. PNGase is present as an active protein in dry seeds and is apparently synthesized during seed formation. Conversely, the absence of ENGase in dry seeds suggests that its activity is dependent on the protein synthesis that occurs during and after germination. Treatment with gibberellic acid confirmed the production of both de-N-glycosylation enzymes after germination, and demonstrated a temporal delay between the production of the two enzymes during this period. Our results suggest that the two de-N-glycosylation enzymes are differentially regulated during plant development.
