Abstract

We have previously published a two-dimensional (2-D) mapping technique for N-linked oligosaccharides using pyridylaminated derivatives (PA-oligosaccharides) (N. Tomiya et al. Anal. Biochem. 171, 73-90, 1988). We now report an extension of this method to GalNAc-containing N-linked oligosaccharides. The new 2-D map was prepared from the elution data of 40 different GalNAc-containing oligosaccharides, 16 of which were obtained directly from human urinary kallidinogenase by digestion with glycopeptidase A. The other 24 oligosaccharides were derived by subsequent digestion of the 16 original oligosaccharides with β-galactosidase or α-fucosidase. Each of the 40 oligosaccharide derivatives was separated by high-performance liquid chromatography using ODS-silica and amide-silica columns. The 2-D map constructed by plotting elution position of each oligosaccharide (expressed in terms of glucose units) can be useful as such in delineating the structure of an unknown oligosaccharide by direct placement of its elution positions in the 2-D map. Multiple regression analysis of the data as performed previously yielded parameters related to the contribution of each component monosaccharide unit to the elution profile. The best results were obtained when the GalNAc-containing PA-oligosaccharides were classified into an F-series (those containing Fucα6GlcNAc-PA) and a Z-series (all others), based on our previous classification method. These calculated values are useful in predicting oligosaccharide structure from known elution values as well as to predict elution volumn from a known structure. The structure of a minor GalNAc-containing oligosaccharide in human urinary kallidinogenase was elucidated using these newly calculated values.

    However, assignment/annotation solely based on retention time and mass is frequently impractical because of technical challenges associated with variability in column performance, clogged tubing, clogged emitters, etc. Therefore, a more robust relationship between glycan structure and retention time can be achieved by referencing glycan elution positions to a hexose polymer ladder, yielding retention times in glucose units or g.u (19, 20). Dextran polymers ranging in length (DP) from 4 to 10 monosaccharide units where reduced and permethylated with 13C-MeI to produce a dextran reference ladder of g.u. standards (DP4-10).

    These results may indicate that O-glycan profiles can be a marker for the malignancy of the tumors.

Naka et al. employed a combination of serotonin affinity chromatography and an amide-based column for the analysis of N-glycans derived from cultured cancer cells [144].

    A HILIC amide column can be used for the separation of derivatized (pyridylaminated) oligosaccharides, principally according to the “molar mass distribution”, controlled by the number of monosaccharide units, whereas a C18 column provides reversed-phase separation according to the “functionality type distribution” of oligosaccharides co-eluting on the HILIC column. The structure of an unknown oligosaccharide can be determined from the coordinates in the ODS – HILIC two-dimensional retention plane, calibrated by oligosaccharide standards [192]. Later, the third dimension was added to characterize sialyl N-linked oligosaccharides enzymatically released from glycopeptides [193].

    The NANA to GalNAc linkage was determined to be α2,6 based on an observed reduction in GU on the amide column27. α2,3 NeuAc was reduced to about 0.5 GU on the amide column; on the other hand α2,6 NeuAc increased by about 0.2 GU on the amide column according to the two-dimensional mapping technique32,33. The linkage of Fuc in the outer arm of N-glycan C was determined to be an α1,3 linkage to GlcNAc because it was digested with α3/4-Fase and the GalNAc bound to 4 position of GlcNAc.
