Analysis of the Sephacryl S-200 fractionated type IV collagen domains from bovine and human glomerular basement membranes (GBM) and calf anterior lens capsule (ALC) indicated that Asn-linked oligosaccharides are primarily or exclusively localized in the 7 S region, whereas the hydroxylysine-linked Glc alpha 1----2Gal disaccharides (Glc-Gal-Hyl) are present in all the major segments of the molecule (7 S, NC1, and helical domain); no Ser/Thr-linked saccharide were detected. The Asn-linked carbohydrate units observed in the 7 S domain (Mr approximately 300,000) occurred in a number equal to the 12 polypeptide chains constituting this cross-linked region, and this was consistent with lectin blots of the reduced electrophoretically resolved 7 S components. Fractionation of the N-glycanase and endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-released oligosaccharides by concanavalin A affinity and high performance liquid chromatography indicated that the Asn-linked carbohydrate occurred predominantly in the form of complex tri- and biantennary units, although submolar amounts of polymannose variants (Man5-7GlcNAc2) were also present in calf ALC and bovine GBM. Structural studies of the complex N-linked oligosaccharides employing hydrazine/nitrous acid fragmentation and glycosidase digestions indicated a pattern in which there was complete fucosylation of the innermost GlcNAc residue of the Man3GlcNAc2 core but only sparse substitution with capping groups of the nonrepeating N-acetyllactosamine branches. Whether tri- or biantennary, the oligosaccharides from bovine GBM contained only one capping residue, in the form of either NeuAc or alpha-D-Gal, whereas those from ALC had only a single alpha-D-Gal and no NeuAc; human GBM oligosaccharides were devoid of both NeuAc and alpha-D-Gal. The absence of terminal alpha-D-Gal in the human 7 S domain was reflected in its lack of reactivity with Bandeiraea simplicifolia I and from its failure to yield Gal alpha 1----3Gal beta 1----4 [3H]anhydromannitol after hydrazine/nitrous acid/NaB3H4 treatment. Application of the latter procedure to the collagen domains yielded, in addition to fragments from the N-linked oligosaccharides, a disaccharide (Glc alpha 1----2[3H]galactitol) derived from the Glc-Gal-Hyl units. The localization of Asn-linked carbohydrate units in the evolutionarily conserved 7S domain of type IV collagens suggests that these oligosaccharides may play a role in the assembly of the collagen network of basement membranes.

Mo3 is an activation Ag expressed on the surface of human mononuclear phagocytes stimulated in vitro or in vivo by various activating factors. Mo3 is obtained by immunoprecipitation with anti-Mo3 mAb from lysates of PMA-stimulated U-937 cells. The Ag is a heterogeneous glycoprotein with a molecular mass range of 42 to 66 kDa (nonreducing conditions) containing N-linked carbohydrate chains. When the cells are treated with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, greater than 60% of total precipitable gp42-66 Ag is released in the supernatant. This phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-sensitive linkage to the plasma membrane has provided a means for the one-step purification of Mo3 by immunoaffinity chromatography. The eluted soluble Mo3 (sMo3) was greater than 90% pure as documented by the appearance of a single major protein peak on reverse phase HPLC and SDS-PAGE. The average yield was 12.1 micrograms/10(8) cells. Sufficient quantities of sMo3 have been purified to permit the determination of amino acid and carbohydrate composition. Complex N-linked carbohydrates make up nearly 50% of the glycoprotein content and contribute to its heterogeneity. An anti-Mo3 polyclonal antiserum generated from sMo3 was used to immunoprecipitate Mo3 and its precursor from biosynthetically labeled, PMA-stimulated U-937 cells or LPS-stimulated monocytes. These 35S-methionine "pulse-chase" experiments demonstrated the existence of a 40- to 42-kDa endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-sensitive precursor, which over a period of 4 to 5 h gave rise to an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-resistant, but N-glycanase-sensitive 42- to 66-kDa mature form.

Two glycopeptide hydrolases, an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and peptide:N-glycanase (amidase), have been isolated from defatted jack bean meal by standard procedures involving differential solubility and column chromatography. The purified products appear to be free of contaminating proteases and exoglycosidases, and their substrate specificity has been explored with regard to both glycan and peptide structure of the substrates. The endoglycosidase appears to be specific for high mannose glycans; no hydrolysis of either hybrid or complex glycans has been observed. It shows limited activity with two intact glycoproteins, ribonuclease B and yeast invertase, and gives optimal rate with glycopeptides. Free glycan-Asn derivatives are poor substrates in comparison with glycopeptides or glycan-Asn derivatives where the alpha-amino group has been dansylated. The amidase will liberate both high mannose, hybrid, and asialo-complex glycans from both proteins and peptides, but many glycans in intact proteins or in long peptides are resistant to the amidase and become active as substrates only after further proteolytic cleavage. The best substrates appear to be those with the glycosylated asparagine no more than 4-5 residues in from either the NH2- or COOH-terminal end of the peptide. Sialylated glycans do not appear to be released by the amidase.

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.

The structure of carbohydrates in acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from Torpedo californica is reported. Oligosaccharides released quantitatively from the whole molecule by N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase digestion were fractionated by thin-layer chromatography and further purified by high-performance liquid chromatography. We show that more than 70% of the total oligosaccharide chains in Torpedo AChR are of the high-mannose type with the structures (Man)8(GlcNAc)2 and (Man)9(GlcNAc)2. The structure of these oligosaccharides were determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These two types of oligosaccharides were shown to be distributed different proportions in all subunits of Torpedo AChR. We also show that several kinds of complex-type oligosaccharides comprising the rest of the carbohydrate in the protein exist mainly in the gamma and delta subunits. The structure of the carbohydrate moiety that is distributed on the four subunits of AChR was also examined by susceptibility to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and sialidase and by binding affinity to lectins, e.g. concanavalin A, leucoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin, and wheat germ agglutinin.

Numerous studies have shown that glycosylation of the alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (alpha hCG) is essential for the biological activity of this hormone. To obtain detailed insight into the function of N-glycosylation, the availability of site-specifically and fully deglycosylated alpha-subunits obtained under non-denaturing conditions is a prerequisite. NMR spectroscopy in combination with FAB-mapping demonstrates that only Asn52 of the alpha-subunit is accessible to digestion by peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F under native conditions. Treatment of native alpha hCG with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase B results in full deglycosylation yielding alpha hCG with one GlcNAc residue at both Asn52 and Asn78.

Acid carboxypeptidase from Aspergillus saitoi is a glycoprotein that contains both N- and O-linked sugar chains. The N-glycanase released high-mannose type oligosaccharides that were separated into eight components on HPLC. One, which had a unique structure of Man11GlcNAc2, was characterized. Mild alkali treatment of the carboxypeptidase, under conditions that effect beta-elimination, yielded D-mannose. Deglycosylation of the carboxypeptidase with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase effected the reduction of the molecular mass from 72 kDa to 60 kDa. Partial changes of CD spectra of the native and the deglycosylated enzymes indicate that some conformational changes on the peptide of the enzyme occurred after deglycosylation. Other enzymatic properties, such as catalytic activity, pH, and thermal stability and resistivity to protease digestion, did not appear to change. Tunicamycin halted secretion of the carboxypeptidase extracellularly.

Blastocrithidia culicis is a trypanosomatid protozoon that transfers Man6GlcNAc2 in protein N-glycosylation. Compounds containing mannosyl, xylosyl, and rhamnosyl residues were found among the endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-sensitive oligosaccharides of whole cell glycoproteins of this parasite. The compositions of some of them were as follows: Man5GlcNAc2, Man6GlcNAc2, Rha1Man5GlcNAc2, Rha2Man6GlcNAc2, Xyl1Rha2Man6-GlcNAc2, Xyl1Rha3Man6GlcNAc2, and Xyl2Rha3Man6-GlcNAc2. On the other hand, oligosaccharides containing mannosyl, xylosyl, rhamnosyl, and ribosyl units were liberated from endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-resistant glycopeptides upon treatment with N-glycanase. This is the first report on the presence of ribosyl units in eukaryote glycoconjugates, of rhamnosyl residues in asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, and of xylosyl units in high mannose-type compounds.

Prompted by previous observations that polymannose oligosaccharides are released from newly synthesized glycoproteins [Anumula and Spiro (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 15274-15282], we examined rat liver endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for the presence of endoglycosidases that could be involved in an event presumed to be a function of the protein quality control machinery. Our investigations indicated that a peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) is present in ER membranes that has the capacity to release from radiolabelled glycopeptides glucosylated as well as non-glucosylated polymannose oligosaccharides terminating at their reducing end in a di-N-acetylchitobiose sequence (OS-GlcNAc2). This enzyme, which was found to be luminal in orientation, was most active in the pH range 5.5-7.0 and although it had no exogenous bivalent-cation requirements it was inhibited by EDTA. Detailed studies with Man9GlcNAc2-peptides demonstrated that in addition to the free oligosaccharide (Man9GlcNAc2) an additional neutral product characterized as Man9GlcNAc2 linked to an as yet unidentified aglycone was released in a manner that suggests its role as an intermediate. Our observation that ER, in contrast with cytosol, had no endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity would indicate that oligosaccharides terminating in a single GlcNAc residue (OS-GlcNAc1), which have been noted to appear in the extravesicular compartment shortly after N-glycosylation [Moore and Spiro (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 12715-12721] are released from the protein as OS-GlcNAc2 and undergo an ER-to-cytosol translocation in that form before undergoing cleavage of their chitobiose core.

The extent of N-glycosylation of yeast external invertase at each of the 14 potential sites was determined by the combination of proteolytic digestions and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF-MS). The average molecular mass of the intact external invertase was determined as 97 kDa by MALDI/TOF-MS. The intact protein was digested with trypsin, Lys-C and Asp-N, followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic separation. The proteolytic digests were analyzed by MALDI/MS screening for the glycopeptides. The glycopeptides were then treated with peptide:N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) and/or endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Endo H) and the molecular mass of the deglycosylated peptide was determined by MALDI/MS and matched with the peptide predicted by a computer program. The sequences of some peptides or deglycosylated peptides were identified by the MALDI post-source decay technique. The size of the oligosaccharide, the degree of glycosylation and the distribution of the oligosaccharides at each individual potential glycosylation site were characterized. This information goes for beyond previously published data and sometimes differs from them. During this study, the amino acid sequence originally derived from the DNA sequence of the gene coding for invertase was also verified and it was found that this protein when expressed from SUC2 gene might be created as more than one sequence which differ by a few amino acid substitutions (Asn58<-->Thr, Asn65-->His and Val412<-->Ala).
