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.

The isolation and partial characterization of PAS-4 glycoprotein (78 kDa) from bovine milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is described. PAS-4 was selectively extracted with Triton X-114 nonionic detergent and then fractionated on DEAE-Sepharose at pH 7.5. The PAS-4 fraction that was not bound on DEAE-Sepharose gave a single band by SDS-PAGE. The recovery of PAS-4 was 57.4% from MFGM. An amino acid analysis found a high percentage of nonpolar residues. Approximately 7.2% of carbohydrate from PAS-4 was composed of mannose, galactose (Gal), N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), and sialic acid, most of the Gal and GalNAc in PAS-4 being released after mild alkaline hydrolysis. This indicated that PAS-4 contained both N- and O-linked sugar chains in concordance with the results of lectin affinity. PAS-4 had apparent isoelectric points of 7.45, 7.41, and 7.32, but these were shifted to pI 7.47 by a neuraminidase treatment. The apparent molecular weight of PAS-4 after deglycosylation with N-glycanase was approximately 57,000 by SDS-PAGE.

The major sulfated protein of the mouse pancreatic acinar cell, gp300, has been identified and characterized with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. gp300 is a glycoprotein of M(r) = 300,000 which contains approximately 40% of metabolically incorporated [35S]sulfate in the acinar cell. Sulfate on gp300 is resistant to hot 1N HCl, but sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis, demonstrating that the sulfate is carbohydrate-linked rather than tyrosine-linked. gp300 metabolically labeled with [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate was chemically and enzymatically treated followed by Bio-Gel P-10 gel filtration. Both labels were resistant to treatments which degrade glycosaminoglycans. Treatment of dual-labeled gp300 with PNGase F to cleave N-linked oligosaccharides released approximately 17% of [3H] and little [35S]. Mild alkaline borohydride treatment after removal of N-linked sugar released the remainder of both labels, indicating the presence of sulfated O-linked oligosaccharides. Biosynthesis studies and PNGase F digestion indicate that the core protein is approximately 210 kDa, with apparent contributions of approximately 35 kDa N-linked sugar, and approximately 55 kDa O-linked sugar. Lectin blotting and glycosidase digestion demonstrated the presence of Gal beta(1-3)GalNAc and sialic acid alpha(2-3)Gal in O-linked oligosaccharide, and Gal beta(1-4)GlcNAc in N-linked oligosaccharide. Immunolocalization and subcellular fractionation showed that gp300 is a peripheral membrane protein localized to the lumenal face of the zymogen granule membrane. gp300 was not secreted in response to hormone stimulation of acini, so it is not a secretory product. Immunoblot analysis showed that gp300 is present in other gastrointestinal tissues and parotid glands. Localization of this nonsecreted sulfated glycoprotein to exocrine secretory granule membranes suggests that gp300 may have a role in granule biogenesis.

Addition of N-acetylgalactosamine to threonine and serine is the first step in the synthesis of O-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides. A UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.41) from porcine submaxillary glands was recently purified to electrophoretic homogeneity, and polyclonal antibodies against the purified transferase were raised. Immunoblots of porcine, bovine, and ovine submaxillary gland extracts with the anti-transferase antibodies gave a single band and the antibodies reacted equally well with the purified glycosylated and N-glycanase-treated transferase. Immunoelectron microscopic localization of the transferase was achieved in Lowicryl K4M thin sections and frozen-thawed thin sections of porcine and bovine submaxillary gland by using the protein A-gold technique. Specific gold particle labeling was observed in the cis Golgi apparatus and smooth-membraned vesicular structures in close topological relation with it. Labeling was undetectable in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, its transitional elements, and smooth-membraned structures close to them, the trans Golgi apparatus, mucin droplets, and the plasma membrane. The onset of labeling for peptide-bound GalNAc as detected with Vicia villosa isolectin G4 mirrored the transferase immunolocalization as directly shown by double labeling and extended into the trans Golgi apparatus and mucous droplets. Apomucin immunolabeling was found throughout the endoplasmic reticulum and the intermediate compartment and partially overlapped the region of transferase labeling in the Golgi apparatus as demonstrated by double immunolabeling. Thus, the initial step of UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-mediated O-glycosylation in porcine and bovine submaxillary gland cells occurs in the cis Golgi apparatus. The possible involvement of the intermediate compartment remains to be clarified.

Recombinant human Protein C (rHPC), expressed in human kidney 293 cells, has a higher anticoagulant activity than plasma HPC, while its in vivo circulatory half-life is essentially unaltered compared to that of the natural protein. In seeking to elucidate the molecular basis for the improved efficacy of the recombinant antithrombotic drug, we focused on the carbohydrate moiety of rHPC. Protein C is a heavily post-translationally modified serine protease with four N-glycosylation sites. Glycosyl composition analysis of rHPC revealed a 5-fold higher fucose content and a 2-fold lower sialic acid content compared to plasma HPC. In addition, we found that rHPC contains N-acetylgalactosamine (2.6 mol GalNAc/mol rHPC) in its Asn-linked oligosaccharides, while plasma HPC is devoid of GalNAc. The Asn-linked oligosaccharides of rHPC were released by N-glycanase and separated into 25 fractions by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography. The most abundant oligosaccharides were structurally characterized by glycosyl composition and linkage analysis, in conjunction with 1H-NMR spectroscopy at 600 MHz. The structure of the major neutral oligosaccharide in rHPC was determined to be: [formula: see text] Two representatives of the sialylated oligosaccharides in rHPC are: [formula: see text] and [formula: see text] Thus, many of the Asn-linked oligosaccharides in rHPC were found to terminate in GalNAc beta (1-->4)GlcNAc beta (1-->.), in NeuAc alpha (2-->6)GalNAc beta (1-->4)GlcNAc beta (1-->.), and/or in GalNAc beta (1-->4)[Fuc alpha (1-->3)]GlcNAc beta (1-->.). Since the latter trisaccharide was first [Yan, S.B., Chao, B.Y. and Van Halbeek,H. (1992) J. Cell. Biochem., 16D, 151] observed in the Asn-linked oligosaccharides of rHPC derived from human kidney 293 cells, we propose to label the GalNAc beta-(1-->4)[Fuc alpha (1-->3)]GlcNAc beta (1-->.) terminal trisaccharide the PC-293 determinant. The PC-293-containing oligosaccharides may contribute to the higher anticoagulant activity of rHPC as compared to plasma HPC.

N-Acetylgalactosamine is usually not a constitutive monosaccharide of Asn-linked sugar chains. Our previous study showed that the Asn-linked sugar chains of bovine CD36 prepared from milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) contain this unique monosaccharide as the GalNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc group [Nakata et al. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 4369-4383]. Western blot analysis of bovine MFGM glycoproteins with Wistaria floribunda agglutinin (WFA), which binds oligosaccharides terminating with either an alpha- or beta-N-acetylgalactosamine residue, showed that WFA binding is observed for most of the protein bands as detected with Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining. However, no WFA binding was observed for protein bands after treatment of MFGM glycoproteins with N-glycanase. Structural analyses of the sugar chains released by hydrazinolysis from the MFGM glycoproteins by sequential exoglycosidase digestion and by methylation analysis revealed that oligosaccharides, which bound to a WFA-agarose column, are bi-, tri-, and tetraantennary complex-type and hybrid-type sugar chains with the GalNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc group in their outer chain moieties, while oligosaccharides, which passed through the column, were of high-mannose-type, hybrid-type, and complex-type, of which the latter two groups contained the Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc groups. These results indicated that many bovine MFGM glycoproteins contain Asn-linked sugar chains with the GalNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc group.

The N-linked carbohydrate chains of porcine zona pellucida glycoproteins were released by digestion with peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F and subsequently separated from the O-glycoprotein by gel-permeation chromatography on Bio-Gel P-100. The O-linked carbohydrate chains were released from the O-glycoprotein by alkaline borohydride treatment. Fractionation of the extremely heterogeneous mixture of O-linked oligosaccharide alditols was achieved by a combination of chromatographic techniques comprising gel-permeation chromatography on Bio-Gel P-4 and P-6, anion-exchange FPLC on Mono Q, and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography on CarboPac PA-1. The primary structures of 32 O-glycans were determined by one- and two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The major part of the analyzed compounds contain a combination of the structural elements Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-3GalNAc-ol, Gal beta 1-4(6SO4-)GlcNAc, and alpha 2-3-linked Neu5Gc or Neu5Ac. This series of compounds has the following structure, where n = 0 to > 6: [Neu5Gc/Ac alpha2-3]0-1[Gal beta 1-4(6SO4-)GlcNAc beta 1-3]nGal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal Beta 1-3GalNAc-ol. In addition, smaller compounds were identified in which the Gal beta 1-3GalNAc-ol core is substituted by Neu5Gc/Ac alpha 2-6-linked to GalNAc-ol and/or Neu5Gc/Ac alpha 2-3-linked to Gal. Furthermore, oligosaccharides were obtained in which the distribution of 6-O-sulfated GlcNAc residues differs from that in the above-mentioned general structure, and a small portion of the oligosaccharides has the GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc-ol core structure. Analysis of the endo-beta-galactosidase digests of pools of N- and O-glycans indicated that the two types of oligosaccharides contain qualitatively similar poly(N-acetyllactosamine) chains. In the case of the N-linked carbohydrate chains, multiple branching of the core structures occurs, resulting in an even larger heterogeneity than observed for the O-linked carbohydrate chains.

We report the complete structures of the N-linked oligosaccharides and the site-specificity of the N-glycosylation of recombinant gp120 (rgp120) of the HIV-1 BH8 isolate produce by a baculovirus expression system. Glycopeptides derived from the tryptic digests of intact rgp120 or of cyanogen bromide-generated fragments of rgp120 were isolated by their binding to concanavalin A-Sepharose and were purified by reversed-phase HPLC. The isolated glycopeptides were treated with PNGase F, releasing the carbohydrate moiety while converting Asn to Asp, and identified by amino acid analysis and/or peptide sequencing. Our results indicate that all 22 potential N-glycosylation sites in the rgp120 sequence are utilized. We did not detect N-acetylgalactosamine in rgp120, indicating that the glycoprotein lacks typical O-linked oligosaccharides. To investigate the oligosaccharide structures at the sites of glycosylation, we determined the carbohydrate composition for each site and characterized the oligosaccharides by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and by oligosaccharide mapping using high pH anion-exchange chromatography. Mannose and N-acetylglucosamine were the only sugars observed in the intact rgp120 and likewise in individual glycopeptides. All glycopeptides derived from rgp120 contained high mannose-type N-linked oligosaccharides, ranging from GlcNAc2Man5 to GlcNAc2Man9. However, different glycosylation sites showed varied degrees of processing of the high mannose-type oligosaccharides, as characterized by the ratio of GlcNAc2Man8-9 to GlcNAc2Man5-7. These results demonstrate that N-glycosylation of rgp120 in the baculovirus expression system occurs at all potential sites and is site specific in terms of oligosaccharide structures.

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.
