title: A model for cleavage of O-glycosidic bonds in glycoproteins.
abstract: The present work investigated the possibility of cleavage of alpha-linkages between mannose or galactose and serine/threonine residues by alpha-mannosidase and alpha-galactosidase. The study was carried out initially with model synthetic compounds imitating the O-glycosidic bond in glycoproteins, and further with glucoamylase. It was shown that alpha-mannosidase and alpha-galactosidase can hydrolyse these linkages after proteolytic digestion of glucoamylase.
