Transfer of glycerol by Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F to oligosaccharides during chitobiose core cleavage

RB Trimble, PH Atkinson, AL Tarentino, TH Plummer Jr, F Maley and KB Tomer

N-Linked oligosaccharides, when hydrolyzed by glycerol-containing preparations of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Endo) F from Flavobacterium meningosepticum were found to have glycerol attached to their reducing ends. The absence of a reducing end was confirmed by high-field 1H NMR spectroscopy, and the incorporated glycerol was verified through mass spectrometry and collisionally activated decomposition fast atom bombardment/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry techniques. Periodate oxidation of [1(3)-14C]glycerol-labeled oligosaccharides indicated glycerol was glycosidically linked via its 1(3) carbon to the C1 of the reducing end N-acetylglucosamine. In a second, less favored reaction, the glycerol glycoside was hydrolyzed by Endo F using water as the terminal nucleophile, thus regenerating the N- acetylglucosamine reducing end. Glycerol could be removed from Endo F preparations without affecting enzyme stability, and chitobiosyl core hydrolysis in its absence provided intact oligosaccharides with normal N-acetylglucosamine reducing ends. The incorporation of labeled glycerol may provide a useful method for monitoring of Endo F release of oligosaccharides.
