Structural characterization of oligosaccharides in recombinant soluble human interferon receptor 2 using fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis

The N-linked oligosaccharide profiles (banding patterns in gels) and structures of recombinant soluble human interferon receptor 2 (r-shIFNAR2) were determined using fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (FACE, Glyko, Novato, CA). The method involves releasing N-linked oligosaccharide moieties from a glycoprotein by digestion with peptide-N glycanase (PNGase F), labeling the released oligosaccharides with the fluorescent dye 8-aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (ANTS), and separating the labeled oligosaccharides by gel electrophoresis. The isolated oligosaccharides in the bands from the profiling gels can then be sequenced using exoglycosidases to reveal the oligosaccharide structures. The oligosaccharide profile of r-shIFNAR2 consists of at least nine oligosaccharide bands. The relative amount of oligosaccharide in each band can vary, depending on the culture conditions of the source cells. FACE structural analysis shows that r-shIFNAR2 contains only core-fucosylated N-linked oligosaccharides, most of which are fully sialylated (approximately 92%). The major types and relative amounts of the oligosaccharides from a representative sample are: disialylated, galactosylated, biantennary (15%); trisialylated, galactosylated, triantennary (19%), tetrasialylated, galactosylated, tetraantennary (30%), and N-acetyllactosamine-containing higher-order oligosaccharides including tri-, tetra-, and pentaantennary (28%). The remaining oligosaccharides are not fully sialylated and/or not fully galactosylated di-, tri-, and tetraantennary structures (approximately 5%) and unidentified structures (approximately 3%). A method for determining the types and structures of the N-acetyllactosamine containing oligosaccharides is also reported in this study.     

Analysis of 8-aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid labelled N-glycans by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (FACE) is a fast and efficient analytical method which is now widely used in glycobiology for the separation and quantification of free or glycoprotein-released oligosaccharides. However, since identification by FACE of N-glycan structures is only based on their electrophoretic mobility after labelling with 8-aminonaphthalene-1,3, 6-trisulfonic acid (ANTS), co-migration of derived glycans on gel could occur which may result in erroneous structural assignments. As a consequence, a protocol was developed for the fast and efficient matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometric analysis of ANTS-labelled N-glycans. N-Glycans were isolated from plant and mammalian glycoproteins, reductively aminated with the charged fluorophore 8-aminonaphthalene-1, 3, 6-trisulfonic acid (ANTS) and separated using high resolution polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The ANTS-labelled glycans were eluted from FACE gel slices and then analysed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in negative ion mode. Using 3-aminoquinoline containing 2.5 mM citrate NH(4)(+) as matrix, neutral N-linked N-glycans, as well as labelled sialylated oligosaccharides, were found to be easily detected in the 2-10 picomole range giving rise to ?M - H(-) ions.     

Determination of the action modes of cellulases from hydrolytic profiles over a time course using fluorescence‐assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis

Fluorescence‐assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (FACE) is a sensitive and simple method for the separation of oligosaccharides. It relies on labeling the reducing ends of oligosaccharides with a fluorophore, followed by PAGE. Concentration changes of oligosaccharides following hydrolysis of a carbohydrate polymer could be quantitatively measured continuously over time using the FACE method. Based on the quantitative analysis, we suggested that FACE was a relatively high‐throughput, repeatable, and suitable method for the analysis of the action modes of cellulases. On account of the time courses of their hydrolytic profiles, the apparent processivity was used to show the different action modes of cellulases. Cellulases could be easily differentiated as exoglucanases, β‐glucosidases, or endoglucanases. Moreover, endoglucanases from the same glycoside hydrolases family had a variety of apparent processivity, indicating the different modes of action. Endoglucanases with the same binding capacities and hydrolytic activities had similar oligosaccharide profiles, which aided in their classification. The hydrolytic profile of Trichoderma reesei Cel12A, an endoglucanases from T. reesei, contained glucose, cellobiose, and cellotriose, which revealed that it may have a new glucosidase activity, corresponding to that of EC 3.2.1.74. A hydrolysate study of a T. reesei Cel12A‐N20A mutant demonstrated that the FACE method was sufficiently sensitive to detect the influence of a single‐site mutation on enzymatic activity.     

N-linked oligosaccharide analysis of rat brain Thy-1 by liquid chromatography with graphitized carbon column/ion trap-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry in positive and negative ion modes

We have previously described the site-specific glycosylation analysis of rat brain Thy-1 by LC/multistage tandem mass spectrometry (MS(n)) using proteinase-digested Thy-1. In the present study, detailed structures of oligosaccharides released from Thy-1 were elucidated by mass spectrometric oligosaccharide profiling using LC/MS with a graphitized carbon column (GCC-LC/MS). First, using model oligosaccharides, we improved the oligosaccharide profiling by ion trap mass spectrometry (IT-MS) coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). Sequential scanning of a full MS(1) scan with FT-ICR-MS followed by data-dependent MS(n) with IT-MS in positive ion mode, and a subsequent full MS(1) scan with FT-ICR-MS followed by data-dependent MS(n) with IT-MS in negative ion mode enabled the monosaccharide composition analysis as well as profiling and sequencing of both neutral and acidic oligosaccharides in a single analysis. The improved oligosaccharide profiling was applied to elucidation of N-linked oligosaccharides from Thy-1 isolated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It was demonstrated that Thy-1 possesses a significant variety of N-linked oligosaccharides, including Lewis a/x, Lewis b/y, and disialylated structure as a partial structure. Our method could be applicable to analysis of a small abundance of glycoproteins, and could become a powerful tool for glycoproteomics.     

Electrochemical determination of lead using bismuth modified glassy carbon electrode

Electrochemical application of bismuth film modified glassy carbon electrode was studied with the objective of lead detection. Bismuth film on glassy carbon substrate was formed in a plating solution of 2 mmol/L Bi(NO₃)₃, in 1 mol/L HCl at ?1.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for 300 s. Lead was detected by differential pulse anodic voltammetry in acetate buffer of pH 5.0 in the concentration range of 7.5 nmol/L to 12.5 μmol/L. Factors influencing the anodic stripping performance, including deposition time, solution pH, Bi(III) concentration, potential, pulse amplitude, pulse width, have been optimized. Three linear calibration plots in the range 7.5 nmol/L to 0.1 μmol/L, 0.25 to 1 μmol/L, 2.5 to 12.5 μmol/L with regression coefficients of 0.991, 0.986 and 0.978 respectively were obtained. The theoretical detection limit equivalent to three times standard deviation for 7.5 nmol/L lead (n = 5) was calculated to be 5.25 nmol/L utilizing a 5 min deposition time and sensitivity 83.97 A L/mol. The sensitivity and detection limit of the method was compared with reported voltammetric methods for detection of lead and the result obtained was found to be promising for determination of lead.     

Quantification of plasma lactate concentrations using capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection

The quantification of plasma lactate and evaluation of the lactate threshold by CE with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity is demonstrated. The only sample preparation needed was deproteinization with a ACN/methanol mixture. A solution of 10 mmol/L 2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid monohydrate, 10 mmol/L DL-histidine, 70 μmol/L hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, pH 6.0 was found suitable as running buffer. Linearity was achieved for the concentration range of 10-1000 μmol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9994. The limit of detection (3 S/N) was determined as 3.2 μmol/L. Intra- and inter-day variabilities were less than 7% RSD. The suitability of the method could be demonstrated by analyzing various clinical samples, where the results correlated satisfactorily with those of an established enzymatic method.     

Synthesis of polymethacrylate derivatives having sulfated maltoheptaose side chains with anti‐HIV activities

Anti‐HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) active polymethacrylates having pendant sulfated oligosaccharides were synthesized, and the relationship between structures and biological activities of the polymethacrylates was examined. Acetylated 1‐O‐methacryloyl maltoheptaoside (MA‐AcM7) was polymerized with AIBN as an initiator to give polymethacrylates having a pendant acetylated maltoheptaose in every repeating unit, poly(MA‐AcM7)s. After hydroxyl groups were recovered by deacetylation, the polymethacrylates having maltoheptaose units, poly(MA‐M7)s, were sulfated to give polymethacrylates having sulfated maltoheptaose side‐chains, poly(MA‐SM7)s, with degrees of sulfation of 1.1 to 2.7 (maximum, 3.0). These polymethacrylates including sulfated oligosaccharides exhibited low anti‐HIV activities represented by the 50% protecting concentration (EC₅₀) in the range of 15–62 μg/mL and low blood anticoagulant activities around 10 unit/mg (standard dextran sulfate, 22.7 unit/mg). The anti‐HIV activity increased with increasing degree of sulfation to reach EC₅₀ of 15–16 μg/mL. In addition, copolymerization of MA‐AcM7 with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and subsequent sulfation gave polymethacrylates consisting of various proportions of highly sulfated maltoheptaose and MMA units. It was revealed that the anti‐HIV activity increased with decreasing proportion of the sulfated oligosaccharide moiety and that a copolymethacrylate having 22 mol % of sulfated maltoheptaose units (DS = 3.0) had a high anti‐HIV activity in the EC₅₀ of 0.3 μg/mL. The blood anticoagulant activity increased slightly from 9 to 18 unit/mg with decreasing proportion of the sulfated maltoheptaose units. These results suggested that the biological activities were influenced strongly by the spatial distance between sulfated oligosaccharide substituents in the polymethacrylate main chain. Distinction and conformation of the oligosaccharide side chains also played an important role. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 37: 789–800, 1999     

Analysis of glycoprotein-derived oligosaccharides in glycoproteins detected on two-dimensional gel by capillary electrophoresis using on-line concentration method

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an effective tool to analyze carbohydrate mixture derived from glycoproteins with high resolution. However, CE has a disadvantage that a few nanoliters of a sample solution are injected to a narrow capillary. Therefore, we have to prepare a sample solution of high concentration for CE analysis. In the present study, we applied head column field-amplified sample stacking method to the analysis of N-linked oligosaccharides derived from glycoprotein separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Model studies demonstrated that we achieved 60-360 times concentration effect on the analysis of carbohydrate chains labeled with 3-aminobenzoic acid (3-AA). The method was applied to the analysis of N-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins separated and detected on PAGE gel. Heterogeneity of alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), i.e. glycoforms, was examined by 2D-PAGE and N-linked oligosaccharides were released by in-gel digestion with PNGase F. The released oligosaccharides were derivatized with 3-AA and analyzed by CE. The results showed that glycoforms having lower pI values contained a larger amount of tetra- and tri-antennary oligosaccharides. In contrast, glycoforms having higher pI values contained bi-antennary oligosaccharides abundantly. The result clearly indicated that the spot of a glycoprotein glycoform detected by Coomassie brilliant blue staining on 2D-PAGE gel is sufficient for quantitative profiling of oligosaccharides.
