title: Structural analyses of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of porcine pancreatic kallikrein.
abstract: The structures of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of porcine pancreatic beta-kallikrein are reported. Asparagine-linked neutral oligosaccharides were released by N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase digestion, and the reducing ends of the oligosaccharides were derivatized with a fluorescent reagent, 2-aminopyridine. The mixture of pyridylamino oligosaccharides was separated by reverse-phase and amide-adsorption high-performance liquid chromatography. The pyridylamino oligosaccharides were separated into more than 50 kinds of oligosaccharides. The structures of 5 kinds of triantennary and 12 kinds of tetraantennary oligosaccharides were determined by the use of high-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and methylation analysis. Furthermore, the structures of five kinds of oligomannose-type oligosaccharides were elucidated by a combination of exoglycosidase digestion and high-performance liquid chromatography. 1H NMR data for 14 out of the 17 kinds of N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides reported here have not previously been described in the literature. (1) It has been shown that fucose containing tri- and tetraantennary oligosaccharides is predominant in porcine pancreatic beta-kallikrein B. (2) It has also been shown that the heterogeneity of the structure in these types of oligosaccharides is derived from the variety of the positions of galactose residues linked to outer N-acetylglucosamine residues. (3) The distribution of oligosaccharides into two glycosylation sites, asparagine-95 and asparagine-239, of beta-kallikrein B was determined. It has been found that oligomannose-type oligosaccharides are exclusively present at asparagine-239, although N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides occur at both glycosylation sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
