Isolation and structural characterization of sialic-acid-containing glycopeptides of the O-glycosidic type from the urine of two patients with an hereditary deficiency in alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity.
Glycopeptides have been isolated from the urine of two patients, aged 5 and 6, with a new lysosomal storage disease characterized by a deficiency in alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity. Isolation of these glycopeptides was achieved using gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Structural determination was done using one- and two-dimensional 500 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and FAB mass spectrometry of native and derivatized glycopeptides. The following structures were inferred as being present: Glycopeptide A (up to 140 mg/l urine) (1)-(3) Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3 (Neu5Ac alpha 2-6)GalNAc alpha 1-R A1: R = Ser A2: R = Thr A3: R = Thr-Pro Glycopeptide B (up to 80 mg/l urine) (4)-(6) Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6 (Neu5Ac alpha 2-3-Gal beta 1-3) GalNAc alpha 1-R B1: R = Ser B2:R = Thr B3: R = Thr-Pro
