Abstract:
:To study the influence of N-linked carbohydrate moiety on the catalytic and biochemical properties of glycosylated enzyme, a recombinant β-d-glucuronidase (PGUS-P) from Penicillium purpurogenum as a model glycoprotein, was deglycosylated with peptide-N-glycosidase F (PNGase-F) under native conditions. The enzymatic deglycosylation procedure resulted in the complete removal of carbohydrate moiety. Compared with the glycosylated PGUS-P, the deglycosylated PGUS-P exhibited 20-70% higher activity (p<0.05) within pH 6-9, but 15-45% lower activity (p<0.05) at 45-70°C. The apparent decrease in the thermal stability of the deglycosylated enzyme was reflected by a decrease in the denaturation temperature (T(d)) values determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The removal of N-linked glycans also reduced enzyme's sensitivity to certain metal ions. The deglycosylated PGUS-P displayed lower K(m) vaules, but higher k(cat)/K(m) ratios than the glycosylated isoform towards glycyrrhizin. The consequent conformational changes were also determined by circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy which revealed no significant difference in the secondary but a slight dissimilarity between the tertiary structures of both isoforms of PGUS-P.
