title: Structure of a major oligosaccharide of PASII/PMP22 glycoprotein in bovine peripheral nerve myelin.
abstract: The amino acid sequence of the glycopeptide obtained from bovine PASII/PMP22 protein in the PNS myelin was determined to be Gln-Asn-Cys-Ser-Thr, where the asparagine was glycosylated. To eliminate all the contaminated P(o) glycopeptides from the PASII/PMP22 glycopeptide preparation, we used a fluorescent probe, N-[2-(2-pyridylamino)ethyl]maleimide, which reacts with the cysteine of the PASII/PMP22 glycopeptides. The labeled PASII/PMP22 glycopeptides were isolated by HPLC and were digested further with glycopeptidase A. The resultant oligosaccharides were conjugated with 2-aminopyridine (PA) as a fluorescent tag. One major PA-oligosaccharide, OPPE1, was purified by HPLC. The structure of OPPE1 was elucidated by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and (1)H-NMR studies and comparing the derivatives of PA-OPPE1 and PA-oligosaccharides of gamma-globulin on HPLC. The structure, SO(4)-3GlcAbeta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1+ ++-6(GlcNAcbeta1-4) (GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3)Manbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1- 4(Fucalpha1-6)GlcNAc- PA, was identical to the pyridylaminated form of the major oligosaccharide D8 of bovine P(o) previously reported.
