Structures of galactose-containing oligosaccharides of alpha-mannosidase from porcine kidney.
Oligosaccharides of a non-oligomannoside type were released from porcine alpha-mannosidase by hydrazinolysis, and were fractionated into at least 15 homogeneous oligosaccharides. Most of them are oligosaccharides with galactose and N-acetylglucosamine residues attached to a common core, alpha Man2 beta Man beta GlcNAc(+/- alpha-L-Fuc)beta GlcNAc. About 50% of the oligosaccharides contain one or two outer chains composed of one beta-linked N-acetylglucosamine and two beta-linked galactose residues attached to the core portions, and the others seem to be metabolic intermediates. Based on the results of studies on the binding of alpha-mannosidase to RCA (Ricinus communis agglutinin) I-agarose and MBP (mannan-binding protein)-Sepharose, which are specific for glycoproteins possessing N-acetyllactosamine-type and oligomannoside-type (including oligomannosides with N-acetylglucosamine at the reducing termini) oligosaccharides, respectively, about 85% of the enzyme molecules were found to have both types of oligosaccharides. Similarly, it was shown that of the several acid hydrolases present in the lysosomes purified from rat liver, only alpha-mannosidase has both types of oligosaccharides, and the greater parts of beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase seem to have only oligomannoside-type oligosaccharides.
