The N-linked carbohydrate chains of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG-beta) isolated from the culture fluid of the choriocarcinoma cell line BeWo were released enzymatically by peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F. Subsequently, the O-linked oligosaccharides were split off from the N-deglycosylated protein by mild alkaline borohydride treatment. The carbohydrate chains were purified in their intact sialylated forms by FPLC anion-exchange chromatography on Mono Q, HPLC on Lichrosorb-NH2, and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography on CarboPac PA1. 1H-NMR spectroscopic analysis of the major fractions demonstrates the occurrence of the following sialylated diantennary and triantennary N-linked oligosaccharides. Residues not written in bold letters are variably present. [formula: see text] The incidence of triantennary carbohydrate chains is much higher than in normal urinary hCG-beta (26% vs 2%). The same holds for the alpha 1-6-fucosylation of the asparagine-bound GlcNAc (95% vs 42%). The presence of a bisecting GlcNAc and the occurrence of alpha 2-6-linked Neu5Ac in the most abundant N-glycans, are new features for hCG-beta. The major O-linked carbohydrate chains identified are the tetrasaccharide Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3(Neu5Ac alpha 2-6)GalNAc-ol and the hexasaccharide Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6(Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3)GalNAc-ol, both also found in normal urinary hCG. In addition, two novel O-glycans were characterized: [formula: see text]

Urea-soluble fractions from purified Kurloff cells (KC) were analysed by affinoblotting. Lectin reactivities were quasi-exclusively confined to the 30-35 kDa major glycoproteins (mGPs) (responsible for the PAS positivity of the Kurloff body) with strong affinities for Canavalia ensiformis lectin, Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin and Sambucus nigra (SNA), Pisum sativum, Triticum vulgaris and Ulex europeus agglutinins. These data were consistent with the presence, among the KC mGPs, of large amounts of complex or hybrid N-glycosylproteins, in particular with Neu5Ac alpha 2,6Gal/GalNAc sequences, fucosyl residues and bisected residues. Their oligosaccharide sequences belong to more than one class, since some of these lectin reactivities had to be borne by distinct N-linked oligosaccharide chains. Before further analysis, KC mGPs were separated from other highly anionic glycoconjugates, by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Their abundant potential RCA-binding sites masked by sialic acid were then revealed after neuraminidase (sialidase) or dilute acid pre-treatment. In remaining consistent with their lectin affinities, some KC mGPs were found to be PNGase F sensitive, while, either desialylated or not, they were all O-glycanase insensitive. Finally, by combined zymography and affinoblotting, the SNA-reactive fraction of KC mGPs was shown to correspond to denatured forms of the two zymographic size populations (190 kDa and 500 kDa) of KC acid phosphatases.

A convenient precolumn labeling method was developed for the analysis of neutral and sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides in glycoproteins using 1-(p-methoxy)phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMPMP). PMPMP reacts with a reducing oligosaccharide under slightly alkaline conditions (pH 8.3) to form a 2:1 adduct (bis-PMPMP derivative). Sialic acid residues in the oligosaccharides remain intact during the reaction. Tryptic glycopeptides digested with glycopeptidase A for oligosaccharide liberation can be directly derivatized with PMPMP without prior treatment. Separation of the labeled oligosaccharides was performed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on a C-18 column with aqueous acetonitrile, and positional isomers such as isomeric triantennary tetradecasaccharides from bovine fetuin were completely resolved. The bis-PMPMP derivatives were labile in alkaline media to form mono-PMPMP derivatives; however, the mono-PMPMP derivatives could be easily reconverted to the original bis-PMPMP derivatives. The proposed method is simpler than the reductive pyridylamination method, and detection sensitivity could reach subnanomole range with a uv detector. Oligosaccharides from ribonuclease B (bovine pancreas), ovalbumin, thyroglobulin (porcine thyroid), fetuin (bovine), and transferrin (human) have been successfully analyzed to demonstrate the usefulness of this method as an alternative to the existing methods.

Biologically active recombinant human follitropin has been expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The carbohydrate chains of the recombinant glycoprotein hormone were enzymatically released by peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F. The oligosaccharides were separated from the N-deglycosylated protein by gel-permeation chromatography on Bio-Gel P-100, and fractionated by a combination of FPLC on Mono Q and HPLC on Lichrosorb-NH2. The structures of the carbohydrate chains were determined by 500- or 600-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The following types of carbohydrates occur: monosialylated diantennary (10%), disialylated diantennary (43%), disialylated tri-antennary (5%), trisialylated tri-antennary (13%), trisialylated tri'-antennary (8%), and tetrasialylated tetraantennary (12%) N-acetyllactosamine type of carbohydrate chains, all bearing exclusively alpha 2-3-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). Previously, for pituitary follitropin mono-, di-, tri-, tri'-, and tetra-antennary oligosaccharides containing alpha 2-3- as well as alpha 2-6-linked Neu5Ac residues were reported. The bisecting GlcNAc residues present in native follitropin were not detected in the recombinant glycoprotein. Of the oligosaccharides 29% have an alpha 1-6-linked Fuc residue at the asparagine-bound GlcNAc, whereas this amount is about 50% in pituitary follitropin. In some of the tri-, tri'- and tetra-antennary oligosaccharide fractions small amounts (less than 5%) of compounds were detected having one or more additional N-acetyllactosamine units.

The Maackia amurensis leukoagglutinin has been shown to react specifically with the Neu5Ac (alpha 2,3) Gal sequence of asparagine-linked complex type oligosaccharides. We report here the preparation of Maackia amurensis lectin-gold complexes and their application for light and electron microscopic detection of the Neu5 Ac (alpha 2,3) Gal sequence in various tissues. The use of the lectin directly gold labeled was superior to a two-step cytochemical affinity technique using a fetuin-gold complex. The Maackia amurensis lectin-gold staining was inhibited by pre-incubation of the lectin-gold complexes with 50 mM alpha 2,3 sialyllactose, whereas alpha 2,6 sialyllactose up to concentrations of 1 M had no effect, thus demonstrating the high specificity of the histochemical staining. In addition to N-glycanase-sensitive asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, beta-elimination-sensitive serine/threonine-linked oligosaccharides could be detected. Data are presented which show that cellular staining patterns obtained with Maackia amurensis lectin-gold complexes may differ from those with elderberry bark lectin-gold, which detects the Neu5 Ac (alpha 2,6) Gal/GalN Ac sequence. Electron microscopic double labeling for direct study of the differential distribution of the Neu5 Ac (alpha 2,3) Gal and Neu5 Ac (alpha 2,6) Gal sequences is reported. Therefore, the availability of two sialic acid binding lectins with different linkage specificity for histochemistry provides the first opportunity to study tissue and cell type expression of these terminal sequences of glycoproteins.

CHIP28 occurs naturally in glycosylated and nonglycosylated forms. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of glycosylation in CHIP28 structure and function. A new purification procedure based on phenylboronic acid-agarose (PBA) affinity chromatography was developed to isolate CHIP28. In purified native CHIP28 from erythrocytes, approximately 50% of CHIP28 molecules were glycosylated; each mole of glycosylated CHIP28 contained 5.4 kDa of monosaccharides consisting of 2 mol of Fuc, 8 mol of Gal, 1 mol of GalN, 13 mol of GlcN, 3 mol of Man, and 1 mol of Neu5Ac. The proportions of each monosaccharide and the sensitivity to endo-beta-galactosidase indicated that CHIP28 contained polylactosaminyl oligosaccharides. Glycosylated and nonglycosylated CHIP28 remained tightly associated when solubilized in octyl beta-D-glucoside (OG) and could not be separated by conventional chromatographic procedures. To remove the sugar moiety, CHIP28 was enzymatically deglycosylated by PNGase F and purified by Q-Sepharose anion-exchange and Erythrina cristagalli lectin chromatography. High-performance size-exclusion chromatography revealed that native CHIP28 eluted as an apparent dimer, whereas deglycosylated CHIP28 eluted as an apparent monomer. In reconstituted proteoliposomes, deglycosylated CHIP28 had a single channel water permeability (pf) of 3.1 x 10(-14) cm3/s (10 degrees C), not different from that of 3.2 x 10(-14) cm3/s for native CHIP28. Circular dichroism of native and deglycosylated CHIP28 in OG revealed 45% and 48% alpha-helix, respectively; intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence showed no effects of glycosylation on tryptophan environment. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy with rotary shadowing indicated that native and deglycosylated CHIP28 assembled as tetramers in reconstituted proteoliposomes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Monosaccharide analysis by high pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC/PAD) was used to identify the glycopeptides in the reversed-phase (RP-HPLC) separation of a bovine fetuin tryptic digest (1.6 nmol). This method, requiring no sample derivatization, identified four asparagine-linked (N-linked) glycopeptides and at least seven serine/threonine-linked (O-linked) glycopeptides. Glycopeptide identification was confirmed by Edman sequencing. Monosaccharide quantification of each glycopeptide suggested that all of the N-linked glycopeptides were the complex type and all the O-linked glycopeptides were sialylated. We determined that glycopeptides could be prepared by acidic reversed-phase chromatography with less than 3% loss of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). The N-linked glycopeptides of bovine fetuin were prepared, digested with N-glycosidase F (PNGase F), and their oligosaccharides analyzed by HPAEC/PAD. These oligosaccharide profiles revealed that the Asn-138 oligosaccharide attachment site contained the majority of the disialylated and monosialylated oligosaccharides. The Asn-158 oligosaccharide attachment site contained the majority of the tetrasialylated oligosaccharides.

The carbohydrate side chains of batroxobin were liberated from tryptic glycopeptides by treatment with peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F, pyridylaminated and separated by two-dimensional HPLC. Neutral oligosaccharide derivatives obtained after desialylation were characterized by methylation analysis, liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry, digestion with exoglycosidases and endoglycosidases and, in part, by acetolysis, whereas sialic acid constituents were identified by reverse-phase HPLC after conjugation with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylene-dioxybenzene. The overall glycosylation status of the protein was studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The results revealed that batroxobin is heterogeneously glycosylated carrying predominantly diantennary, partially incomplete complex-type glycans in addition to hybrid-type species. Most glycans were core-fucosylated at C6 of the innermost GlcNAc. As a characteristic feature, galactose was completely replaced by GalNAc beta 4-substituents in complex-type antennae, the GlcNAc-residues of which were, in part, fucosylated at C3. Furthermore, evidence was obtained that suggested the presence of a novel type of glycoprotein-N-glycan comprising two GalNAc beta 4GlcNAc beta 4GlcNAc beta 2Man-antennae. Sialic acid residues represented a mixture of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-acetyl-4-O-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu4,5Ac2), which were exclusively linked to C3 of subterminal GalNAc. A precise assignment of these sialic acid derivatives to distinct oligosaccharide structures or antennae, however, was not carried out. Finally, MALDI-TOF-MS demonstrated that both potential N-glycosylation sites of batroxobin are substituted by carbohydrate chains. In conclusion, our studies revealed that this snake venom glycoprotein is characterized by a unique oligosaccharide pattern partly comprising novel structural elements.

The N-linked carbohydrate chains of recombinant human erythropoietin expressed in CHO cells were quantitatively released with peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F, separated from the remaining O-glycoprotein by gel-permeation chromatography, and subsequently fractionated via FPLC on Mono Q, HPLC on Lichrosorb-NH2 and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography on CarboPac PA1. The purified sialylated oligosaccharides were analyzed by one-dimensional and two-dimensional 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. When necessary, oligosaccharides were treated with endo-beta-galactosidase (and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase) followed by 1H-NMR analysis of the incubation products, to obtain additional structural information. Di-, tri-, tri'- and tetraantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides occur which can be completely (major) or partially (minor) sialylated. Three different types of alpha 2-3-linked sialic acids are present, namely, N-acetylneuraminic acid (95%), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (2%) and N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid (3%). In the case of partial sialylation, a non-random distribution of the sialic acids over the branches is observed. One or two extra N-acetyllactosamine units, being exclusively located in the branches attached to the alpha 1-6-linked Man residue, can be present in completely or partially sialylated di-, tri'-, and tetraantennary oligosaccharides. Tetraantennary oligosaccharides with N-acetyllactosamine repeats could be digested quantitatively with endo-beta-galactosidase from Bacteroides fragilis, whereas under the same conditions tri' antennary oligosaccharides hardly reacted (< 15%). Using endo-beta-galactosidase from Escherichia freundii, these tri'antennary oligosaccharides could be digested more extensively (> 75%). The O-linked carbohydrate chains were released from the O-glycoprotein by alkaline borohydride treatment, and purified via FPLC on Mono Q and HPLC on Lichrosorb-NH2. Two O-glycans were found, namely, Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3GalNAc-ol and Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3(Neu5Ac alpha 2-6)GalNAc-ol.

In a previous report (Kitajima, K., Inoue, S., and Inoue, Y. (1989) Dev. Biol. 132, 544-553), we found the presence of a heavily glycosylated polyprotein, "H-hyosophorin," isolated from the unfertilized eggs of Oryzias latipes. We now report our detailed analysis of the structure of the N-glycan chain in L-hyosophorin, the smallest repeating unit of H-hyosophorin, which was isolated from the fertilized eggs of O. latipes and formed from H-hyosophorin upon fertilization. The N-glycan structures were defined by a combination of compositional analysis, methylation analysis, selective chemical degradation (i.e. mild methanolysis, periodate-Smith degradation, and hydrazinolysis-nitrous acid deamination), enzymatic (endo-beta-galactosidase, peptide:N-glycanase, and Newcastle disease virus sialidase) digestion, and instrumental analyses (one- and two-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry) which revealed novel and unique features: (a) the presence of highly branched poly-N-acetylactosamino pentaantennary structures; (b) the presence of a beta-galactosylated Lewis X antigenic epitope, Gal beta 1-->4 Gal beta 1-->4 (Fuc alpha 1-->3) GlcNAc beta 1-->; (c) the presence of a beta-galactosylated sialyl Lewis X structure, Gal beta 1-->4 (Neu5Ac alpha 2-->3) Gal beta 1-->4(Fuc alpha 1-->3) GlcNAc beta 1-->; (d) the presence of Gal beta 1-->4 Gal beta 1--> and Gal beta 1--> 4Gal beta 1-->4Gal beta 1--> as the major and minor groupings, respectively; and (e) the presence of the branched Gal residues, -->4GlcNAc beta 1-->3(Gal beta 1-->4) Gal beta 1-->. This study represents the first detailed investigation regarding the nature of highly branched complex asparagine-linked pentaantennary glycans in glycoproteins. The unique expression of such bulky multiantennary glycan units on proteins could be essential during early embryogenesis.
