title: Purification and characterization of hen oviduct alpha 1,2-mannosidase.
abstract: An alpha-mannosidase capable of hydrolyzing three Man alpha 1,2-residues from pyridylamine-(PA-) labeled Man9GlcNAc2 was purified from hen oviduct. The purity of the preparation was analyzed by PAGE; its molecular weight was 42,000 by SDS-PAGE or 50,000 by gel filtration. The pH optimum was 6.5. The enzyme was inactivated with EDTA; enzyme activity was restored by the addition of Ca2+. The enzyme activity was inhibited by 1-deoxymannojirimycin, but not by swainsonine. The substrate specificity of the purified enzyme was analyzed using PA-oligomannose-type sugar chains. When Man9GlcNAc2-PA was digested, Man alpha 1-6(Man alpha 1-2Man alpha 1-3)Man alpha 1-6(Man alpha 1-3)Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4Glc-NAc-PA was obtained as an end product, and the enzyme was incapable of hydrolyzing p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-mannoside and Man alpha 1,3- or Man alpha 1,6-residues. Judging from these characteristics, the enzyme was classified as a Man9-mannosidase or Golgi mannosidase I and speculated to participate in the processing or catabolism of glycoproteins.
