摘要: 建立了一种用非特异性酶链酶蛋白酶 E(Pronase E)从糖蛋白上释放N-糖链的方法. 以牛胰核糖核酸酶 B(Ribo B)和鸡白蛋白(Chicken Albumin)为材料, 用Pronase E代替N-糖苷酶 F(PNGase F)释放N-糖链. 当蛋白酶质量与糖蛋白质量比为1∶1时, 得到只带一个天冬氨酸(Asn)的闭环N-糖链, 称其为糖氨酸(glycan-Asn), 这样既为糖链引入了天然的—NH2活性基团, 同时还保持了糖链原有的还原端闭环结构. 以9-氯甲酸芴甲酯(Fmoc-Cl)为衍生试剂对解离后的糖氨酸进行衍生, 采用高效液相色谱-电喷雾质谱联用技术(HPLC-ESI/MS)对Fmoc-Cl糖氨酸衍生物进行分析, 建立了糖蛋白的Pronase E酶解、微量糖氨酸的Fmoc-Cl衍生以及糖氨酸衍生物的HPLC-ESI/MS分析方法, 该方法保持了N-糖链的天然结构, 便于以—NH2为功能基团进一步进行荧光标记、分离制备以及糖链与蛋白质的相互作用研究.

Abstract: A method for non-specific enzymatic digestion of glycopeptides to release N-glycans from glycoprotein was developed. Pronase E instead of the traditional PNGase F was used to release glycopeptides from Ribo B and Chicken Albumin, and under the optimized digestion conditions that the quality ratio of the Pronase E to glycoprotein was 1∶1, the closed-ring oligosaccharides named glycans-Asn with a single amino acid(Asn) were obtained. A modified 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate(Fmoc-Cl) pre-column derivatization procedure was also applied to these glycans-Asn. And the Fmoc-Cl labeled glycans-Asn products were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(HPLC-ESI/MS). So a new method to digest glycoprotein with Pronase E and analyze trace glycans from glycoprotein with Fmoc-Cl pre-column derivatization by HPLC-ESI/MS is established. This method not only remains the native structure of N-glycans, but also provides possibility of fluorescent derivation with —NH2 function groups, which brings the convenience of separation and preparation of N-glycans and study the interaction between glycan and proteins.
