چکیده

Two immunochemically distinct mucins have been isolated from pig submaxillary glands. The glands were combined according to the ability of aqueous extracts of these glands to inhibit hemagglutination of human type A erythrocytes. Mucin isolated from the glands containing blood group A activity is designated A+ pig submaxillary mucin (A+-PSM), while mucin isolated from the remaining glands is designated Apig submaxillary mucin (A--PSM). The carbohydrate composition of both mucins is similar and comprises Nacetylgalactosamine, fucose, galactose, and N-glycolylneuraminic acid. Treatment of these mucins with alkaline borohydride resulted in the release of a series of reduced oligosaccharides and the monosaccharide, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-gala&o1 (N-acetylgalactosaminitol). Conditions are reported which give more than 90% cleavage of the sugar residues from the protein chain. The most complex oligosaccharide (designated oligosaccharide I) was a pentasaccharide, 2-acetamido2-deoxy-oc-D-galactopyranosyl(l+3)-[cr-L-fucopyranosyl-(l --f 2)]-fi-D-galactopyranosyl-(l + 3)-[N-glycolylneuraminyl(2 4 6)]-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactitol. In addition, the following oligosaccharides were isolated (structures are given as related to oligosaccharide I): oligosaccharide II, I minus N-acetylgalactosamine; oligosaccharide III, a disaccharide Nglycolylneuraminyl -+N-acetylgalactosaminitol; oligosaccha ride IV, I minus N-glycolylneuraminic acid; oligosaccharide V, II minus iV-glycolylneuraminic acid. ZV-Acetylgalactosaminitol (Fraction VI) was the only detectable monosaccharide. Rabbit antiserum to human type A erythrocyte stroma precipitated A+-PSM, but not A--PSM. Oligosaccharides I and IV, found only in A+-PSM, are potent inhibitors of the anti A-A+-PSM precipitation, but oligosaccharides II, III, and V and a monosaccharide (Fraction VI) are completely inactive.

In this study we investigated the structures of 11 neutral oligosaccharides released from bovine submaxillary mucin by alkaline borohydride treatment and isolated by h.p.l.c. One hexa-, one penta-, three tetra-, four tri- and two di-saccharides containing core types 1, 2, 3 or 4 were obtained. We report their structures, determined by a combination of one- and two-dimensional 1H n.m.r. spectros...

Determination of the structure of a novel acidic oligosaccharide with blood-group activity isolated from bovine submaxillary-gland mucin.

In this study we investigated the structure of an acidic fucose-containing pentasaccharide released from bovine submaxillary-gland mucin by alkaline-borohydride treatment. The structure, determined by a combination of one-dimensional and two-dimensional 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy at 270 MHz and methylation analysis involving g.l.c.-m.s., was as follows: Fuc alpha(1----2)Gal beta(1----4)GlcNAc beta(...

Cytotoxicity and Glycan-Binding Properties of an 18 kDa Lectin Isolated from the Marine Sponge Halichondria okadai

A divalent cation-independent lectin-HOL-18, with cytotoxic activity against leukemia cells, was purified from a demosponge, Halichondria okadai. HOL-18 is a 72 kDa tetrameric lectin that consists of four non-covalently bonded 18 kDa subunits. Hemagglutination activity of the lectin was strongly inhibited by chitotriose (GlcNAcβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-4GlcNAc), fetuin and mucins from porcine stomach and bo...

Mucins have been implicated in circumventing the defenses of the body against tumorigenesis. A better understanding of the structures of mucins may assist in the development of new therapeutic approaches. Monoclonal antibody Ea6, developed against mucins purified from xenografts of the pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990, was used to identify a new type of pancreatic cancer mucin. The following ...

Alkaline borohydride reductive cleavage (beta-elimination) of hog submaxillary glycoproteins from three immunologically determined phenotypes, viz. A+, H+ and A-H-, resulted in the release of a series of neutral and acidic oligosaccharide-alditols. 360-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy in combination with methylation analysis and mass spectrometry were used for reinvestigation of the structures of these ...
