title: Dolichyldiphosphoryloligosaccharide--protein oligosaccharyltransferase; solubilization, purification, and properties.
abstract: Dolichyldiphosphoryloligosaccharide-protein oligosaccharyltransferase was solubilized from hen oviduct rough endoplasmic reticulum by extraction with 0.2% Nonidet P40. Oligosaccharyltransferase activity was assayed in an incubation mixture containing Glc(n)-Man(x)-GlcNAc(2)-diphosphoryldolichol as an oligosaccharyl donor and the (125)I-labeled tryptic peptide consisting of residues 29-58 from bovine alpha-lactalbumin as acceptor. The transferase was purified approximately 2000-fold by fractionation on a bovine alpha-lactalbumin-Sepharose column; the active material bound quantitatively to the gel and was eluted by removal of divalent cation from the wash buffer. The product of the transferase activity, (125)I-glycopeptide, was determined as concanavalin A-agarose-adsorbed radioactivity by a filter disc assay method. (125)I-Labeled concanavalin A-agarose-bound product was characterized as a glycopeptide as follows: (i) gel filtration behavior on Sephadex G-50; (ii) elution from concanavalin A-agarose with 1% alpha-methyl mannoside; (iii) absence of affinity for ricin-Sepharose and loss of affinity for concanavalin A-agarose after treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H; (iv) enzymatic synthesis of identical product upon using [(3)H]oligosaccharyldiphosphoryldolichol and unlabeled peptide acceptor; and (v) digestion of (3)H-labeled peptide with Pronase, resulting in the formation of lower molecular weight glycopeptide. Oligosaccharyltransferase activity exhibited an absolute requirement for divalent cations (3 mM Mn(2+); Mg(2+) was 30% as effective), complete dependence on exogenously supplied peptide acceptor (1.33 mug/ml) and oligosaccharyldiphosphoryldolichol (approximately 10 nmol/ml), and an optimum pH between 7 and 7.5.
