Abstract:
:Structures of glycopeptides obtained by exhaustive Pronase digestion of high molecular weight (1.7 X 10(5)) salmon egg polysialoglycoprotein have been elucidated. Six principal glycopeptides isolated by gel chromatography and DEAE-Sephadex A-25 chromatography in the absence or presence of borate ion were analyzed for their carbohydrate and amino acid composition, as well as amino acid sequence, and found to be of two distinct types: glycotripeptides, Thr*-Ser*-Glu, and glycotetrapeptides, Thr*-Gly-Pro-Ser, where an asterisk indicates the amino acid residues to which either the Gal beta 1----3GalNAc or Fuc alpha 1----3GalNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4Gal beta 1----3GalNAc chain is attached. Their final yield corresponds to 64% of the original desialylated glycoprotein. In view of the simple amino acid composition of salmon egg polysialoglycoprotein (molar ratio Asp2Thr2Ser3Glu1Pro1Gly1Ala3) and the result of alkaline beta-elimination indicating three carbohydrate units linked to two of two threonine and one of three serine residues, a unique primary structure comprising repetitive sequences of the above two types of glycopeptides, which are interspersed by short nonglycosylated peptides consisting of alanine and aspartic acid, has been proposed for the core protein. The molecular secondary ion mass spectra of underivatized glycopeptides were used to obtain their structural information. The anomeric configuration of the proximal sugar-peptide linkages was proven to be alpha by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This is the first systematic reported study of O-glycosidically linked glycopeptides by these instrumental methods.
