Popis: | Ribonuclease (RNase) B incubated with purified enzymes, whole bacterial cultures, or their separated components-cells and supernates-have been directly analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF) to detect exomannosidases and to evaluate their specificities and location. Enzymatic cleavage was monitored by observing changes in RNase B glycoform population. Thus a nonspecific alpha-(1 --2)-mannosidase activity converts the glycoprotein to its Man(5) form, identifiable by its mass of 14,899 [M + H](+); this species subsequently is converted, by the actions of alpha-(1 --3) and alpha-(1 --6)-mannosidases, to the Man(1) form via Man(4), Man(3), and Man(2). The Man(1) glycoform (which is readily isolated) has then similarly been used for identifying beta-(1 --4)-mannosidase and the derived Man(0) form has served in turn as a natural substrate for beta-(1 --4) N-acetylglucosaminidase producing a species possessing a single asparagine-linked GlcNAc residue (mass 13,886). Mannose liberated from the actions of mannosidases can, if desired, be quantified by, for example, chromatography. The actions and specificities of endoglycosidases such as a peptide-N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) and of endo-N-acetlyglucosaminidases (e.g., endo-F and endo-H), which respectively cleave between the GlcNAcbond;Asn and GlcNAcbond;GlcNAc bonds of N-linked glycoproteins, are also demonstrable by MALDI-ToF analysis of RNase B (and derived products). From these digests the completely deglycosylated polypeptide corresponding to RNase A in which Asn has been converted to Asp (mass 13,684) and a species corresponding to RNase A + GlcNAc (mass 13,886) are produced, together with their corresponding free oligosaccharides which are amenable to analysis by both MALDI-ToF and by HPLC. |
