The ability of peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F (PNGase F) from Flavobacterium meningosepticum and PNGase A from sweet almonds to deglycosylate N-glycopeptides and N-glycoproteins from plants was compared. Bromelain glycopeptide and horseradish peroxidase-C glycoprotein, which contain xylose linked beta 1----2 to beta-mannose and fucose linked alpha 1----3 to the innermost N-acetylglucosamine, were used as substrates. In contrast to PNGase A, the enzyme from F. meningosepticum did not act upon these substrates even at concentrations 100-fold higher than required for complete deglycosylation of commonly used standard substrates. After removal of alpha 1----3-linked fucose from the plant glycopeptide and glycoprotein by mild acid hydrolysis, they were readily degraded by PNGase F at moderate enzyme concentrations. Hence we conclude that alpha 1----3 fucosylation of the inner N-acetylglucosamine impedes the enzymatic action of PNGase F. Knowledge of this limitation of the deglycosylation potential of PNGase F may turn it from a pitfall into a useful experimental tool.

Thyroid peroxidase is a heme-containing, membrane-bound, glycoprotein enzyme that catalyzes iodination and coupling in the thyroid gland. It is also the antigen for microsomal autoantibodies that are commonly found in the serum of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. We examined the effect of deglycosylation on the catalytic functions and the immunoreactivity of this enzyme. A highly purified, solubilized, large tryptic fragment of porcine thyroid peroxidase, retaining all of the N-linked glycosylation sites of the native enzyme and displaying full catalytic activity was used. It was deglycosylated by treatment with N-glycanase under nondenaturing conditions. The loss in relative molecular mass after treatment, determined by gel electrophoresis, was about 75% of the estimated molecular weight of the glycan portion of porcine thyroid peroxidase. Lectin blots performed with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated concanavalin A showed a similar loss in relative molecular mass but some residual carbohydrate. The intensity of the carbohydrate stain was consistent with the loss of about 75% of the glycans. Despite this loss, three different assays for catalytic activity of porcine thyroid peroxidase were not significantly decreased. Immunoreactivity measured by immunoblotting and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was also unimpaired. These findings suggest that N-glycanase-sensitive glycans in porcine thyroid peroxidase do not act as antigenic determinants and play a minor role, if any, in catalytic activity and, presumably therefore, in the maintenance of protein conformation.

Limited tryptic digestion of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled (H+-K+)-ATPase from rat resting light gastric membranes produced a soluble 27-kDa polypeptide which retained the fluorescence of the parent enzyme. Its production was markedly enhanced in the presence of an amphiphilic detergent, Zwittergent 3-14, which potently inhibits the ATPase activity. This increase is probably due to protection of certain tryptic cleavage sites through conformational changes of the membrane enzyme by the detergent. The NH2-terminal sequence of the 27-kDa polypeptide corresponded exactly to that beginning at Asn-369 of the cDNA-deduced primary structure of the rat ATPase. The presence of the phosphorylation site, Asp-385, and FITC-labeled Lys-517, which is known to be a part of the ATP-binding site, indicates that the 27-kDa polypeptide contains a major cytoplasmic portion of (H+-K+)-ATPase. Interestingly, the polypeptide was stained with periodate-Schiff's base, indicating its glycoprotein nature. The carbohydrate group attached to the polypeptide seems to include at least an N-linked high-mannose moiety, since the polypeptide showed Con A binding activity as detected with a Con A-biotin/avidin-peroxidase assay on nitrocellulose transblots. Also, its Con A binding activity was inhibited by excess methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside and disappeared upon treatment of the polypeptide with endoglycosidase H and N-glycanase. Further tryptic action converted the 27-kDa polypeptide to 2 smaller FITC-labeled polypeptides of 25 and 15 kDa, which lost 18 and 96 amino acid residues, respectively, from the NH2 terminus of the parent polypeptide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Many of the extracellular lignin-degrading peroxidases from the wood-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium are phosphorylated. Immunoprecipitation of the extracellular fluid of cultures grown with H2K32PO4 with a polyclonal antibody raised against one of the lignin peroxidase isozymes, H8 (pI 3.5), revealed the incorporation of H2K32PO4 into lignin peroxidases. Analyses of the purified isozymes from labeled cultures by isoelectric focusing showed that, in addition to isozyme H8, lignin peroxidase isozymes H2 (pI 4.4), H6 (pI 3.7), and H10 (pI 3.3) are also phosphorylated. These analyses also showed that lignin peroxidase isozyme H1 (pI 4.7) and manganese-dependent peroxidase isozymes H3 (pI 4.9) and H4 (pI 4.5) are not phosphorylated. Phosphate quantitation indicated the presence of one molecule of phosphate/molecule of enzyme for all of the phosphorylated isozymes. To locate the site of phosphorylation, one-dimensional phosphoamino acid analysis was performed with hydrolyzed 32P-protein. However, phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, and phosphothreonine could not be identified. Coupled enzyme assays of acid hydrolysate indicated the presence of mannose 6-phosphate as the phosphorylated component on the lignin peroxidase isozymes. Digestion of the isozymes with N-glycanase released the phosphate component, indicating that the mannose 6-phosphate is contained on an asparagine-linked oligosaccharide.

The activities of a cationic (C.PRX) and an anionic peroxidase isolated from peanut (Arachis hypogaea)-cell suspension culture were drastically reduced when they were deglycosylated with glycopeptidase F or oxidized by 10 mM-periodate. In contrast with the controls, the deglycosylated or the oxidized peroxidases were much more susceptible to proteolytic degradation. In radiolabelling experiments with [35S]methionine, the non-glycosylated C.PRX was synthesized in the tunicamycin-treated cultures and secreted into the medium. Examination of the C.PRX polypeptides by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography showed that the non-glycosylated form had an Mr of approx. 31,000, which is about 78% of that of the glycosylated form. Our results suggest that carbohydrates may not be essential for peroxidase secretion, but that stabilization of the peroxidase molecules and acquisition by these isoenzymes of a catalytically active conformation is linked directly or indirectly to glycosylation.

Lectins were isolated from fruits and leaves of Clerodendron trichotomum by affinity chromatography on lactamyl-Sepharose. The purified lectins (C. trichotomum agglutinin: CTA) were homogeneous on SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the carbohydrate moiety was characterized by physicochemical and immunochemical methods. The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides were released by treatment with N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase (almond, EC 3.5.1.52) of peptic glycopeptides obtained from fruit CTA, and separated by gel filtration and thin-layer chromatography. The structure of the predominant oligosaccharide was determined as Xyl beta 1----2 (Man alpha 1----6)(Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc by high-performance liquid chromatography, sugar analysis and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The reactivity of the carbohydrate moiety of CTA toward various lectins was studied. Fruit and leaf CTAs were applied to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose sheets and detected with horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated lectins. Concanavalin A, lentil lectin, pea lectin, Vicia faba lectin and Ulex europeus agglutinin I, but not wheat germ lectin, bound to fruit CTA. The results indicate new binding properties of these plant lectins: a beta-xylosyl residue substituted at C-2 of the beta-mannosyl residue of N-linked oligosaccharide does not affect the binding with mannose-specific lectins, lentil, pea and Vicia faba lectins can bind to N-linked oligosaccharides containing an alpha-L-fucosyl residue attached to C-3 of the asparagine-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue, and Ulex europeus agglutinin I can bind to the (alpha 1----3)-linked fucose residue of the N-linked oligosaccharide.

To determine the histochemical localization of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins in a series of different mammalian and avian tissues, the effects of digestion with N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase upon certain lectin-peroxidase-diaminobenzidine reactions of the histological structures involved have been studied by light microscopy. Throughout the tissues examined, asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins were localized mainly in histological structures of connective and muscular tissues, but were hardly or not visualized in those of epithelial tissues. These results appear to lead to the concept that connective and muscular tissues represent the main sites where plasma types of glycoproteins are involved in mammalian and avian species.

Almond glycopeptidase is an enzyme which cleaves specifically beta-aspartylglucosylamine linkages in glycoproteins with asialo-carbohydrate moieties. With this enzyme, it was possible to demonstrate the localization of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides in glycoproteins of human placenta and umbilical cord tissues. In these tissues, the oligosaccharides were shown to react positively for a series of histochemical procedures for neutral complex carbohydrates such as periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), peroxidase-labelled Ricinus communis agglutinin-I-diaminobenzidine (PO-RCA-DAB) and concanavalin A-peroxidase-diaminobenzidine (Con A-PO-DAB). The asparagine-linked carbohydrates were localized in the placental villi, blood vessels and perivascular tissues and the umbilical cord blood vessels and matrix. The results of previous biochemical analyses performed upon the same tissues (Takahashi et al., 1981) have corroborated the results of the histochemical studies. The present results appear to substantiate the usefulness of almond glycopeptidase for the histochemical demonstration of the particular oligosaccharides of glycoproteins in tissues in general.

Mannoproteins of approximately 50 kDa from blastoconidia and 60 kDa from hyphae of Candida albicans reacted in Western blots (immunoblots) with either a polyclonal rabbit antiserum (CA-7) or a monoclonal antibody (CA-A) to the C. albicans C3d-binding protein (complement receptor type 2). The glycosylated nature of these proteins was demonstrated by their reactivity with concanavalin A and by selective labeling with the biotin-hydrazide reagent following periodate oxidation. Differences in the oligosaccharides of these proteins were observed in regard to their reactivity with lectin-peroxidase reagents and sensitivity to glycosidases such as N-glycanase or endoglycosidase F (but not endoglycosidase H). The 60-kDa mannoprotein reacted with wheat germ agglutinin, while the 50-kDa mannoprotein did not. Treatment of the 60-kDa mannoprotein with the glycosidases mentioned above resulted in its conversion into a species of 40 to 45 kDa. Enzyme treatment had no obvious effect on the electrophoretic mobility of the 50-kDa species from blastoconidia. Both the 50- and 60-kDa glycoproteins remained immunoreactive after treatment with the glycosidases. Reactivities of the two mannoproteins to neuraminidase also differed. Finally, the 50-kDa (blastoconidia) and the 60-kDa (hyphae) mannoproteins were purified by using ion-exchange chromatography and electroelution. The purified proteins differed in net charge, the 60-kDa species having a more acidic pI. Functional activity of the purified mannoproteins was demonstrated, as each inhibited the rosetting of antibody-sensitized sheep erythrocytes conjugated with iC3b or C3d by hyphae. Thus, an epitope(s) common to both a mycelial and blastoconidial mannoprotein is associated with a structurally different oligosaccharide for each growth form.

Horseradish peroxidase (E.C. 1.11.1.7) isozyme c (HRPc) is a glycoprotein found to contain 21.8% carbohydrate with the average composition: 2 mol GlcNAc, 2.6 mol Man, and 0.8 mol each of Fuc and Xyl. The oligosaccharides of HRPc were investigated by a combination of High pH Anion-Exchange Chromatography with Pulsed Amperometric Detection, methylation analysis and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry. The structure of the major oligosaccharide released by digestion with glycopeptidase A, accounting for between 75 and 80% of the total, was confirmed to be [sequence: see text]. Most of the remaining oligosaccharides were found to belong to the (Xyl)xManm(Fuc)fGlcNAc2 (m = 2, 4, 5, 6; f = 0 or 1; x = 0 or 1) family. Less than 5% of the oligosaccharides were of the ManmGlcNAc2 (m = 4 to 7) type. Methylation analysis of holo- and apo-HRPc and its tryptic glycopeptides support the structures proposed for the oligosaccharides. Furthermore, methylation analysis of the tryptic glycopeptides provides evidence for the heterogeneity of the oligosaccharides occurring at each of the N-linked sites.
