Abstract
The susceptibility of a variety of oligosaccharides to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D was investigated. The oligosaccharides having the structures of Man alpha 1----6 (GlcNAc beta 1----4Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4(+/- Fuc alpha 1----6)GlcNAcOT, derived from complex type triantennary sugar chains, released +/- Fuc alpha 1----6GlcNAcOT upon incubation with the enzyme at almost the same rate as Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4GlcNAcOT. When the reaction products were reduced with NaB3H4 and analyzed by Bio-Gel P-4 column chromatography, a new radioactive peak was detected in both cases. This new radioactive oligosaccharide was confirmed to be Man alpha 1----6(GlcNAc beta 1----4Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAcOT in the former case and Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAcOT in the latter. These results indicated that endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D does not require the presence of a free hydroxyl group at the C-4 position of the alpha-mannosyl residue of the trisaccharide glycon: Man alpha 1----3Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----.Entities:
