Abstract
Many types of bioactive peptides that inhibit angiotensin I, angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) and Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1) in the cardiovascular system contribute to the prevention and treatment of hypertension. These inhibitory peptides are derived from many food proteins or artificial synthetic products. Further research examining the bioavailability of ACE inhibitory peptides will lead to the development of more effective ACE inhibitory peptides and foods. Our research also demonstrates that ACE inhibitory peptide LAP may lower blood pressure with no adverse effects.

Abstract
This review describes the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and continues coverage of the field from the previous review published in 1999 (D. J. Harvey, Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of carbohydrates, 1999, Mass Spectrom Rev, 18:349-451) for the period 1999-2000. As MALDI mass spectrometry is acquiring the status of a mature technique in this field, there has been a greater emphasis on applications rather than to method development as opposed to the previous review. The present review covers applications to plant-derived carbohydrates, N- and O-linked glycans from glycoproteins, glycated proteins, mucins, glycosaminoglycans, bacterial glycolipids, glycosphingolipids, glycoglycerolipids and related compounds, and glycosides. Applications of MALDI mass spectrometry to the study of enzymes acting on carbohydrates (glycosyltransferases and glycosidases) and to the synthesis of carbohydrates, are also covered.

Abstract
Naturally occurring glycopeptides and glycoproteins usually contain more than one glycosylation site, and the structure of the carbohydrate attached is often different from site to site. Therefore, synthetic methods for preparing peptides and proteins that are glycosylated at multiple sites, possibly with different carbohydrate structures, are needed. Here, we report a chemo-enzymatic approach for accomplishing this. Complex-type oligosaccharides were introduced to the calcitonin derivatives that contained two N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) residues at different sites by treatment with Mucor hiemalis endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Using this enzymatic transglycosylation reaction, three glycopeptides were produced, a calcitonin derivative with the same complex-type carbohydrate at two sites, and two calcitonin derivatives each with one complex-type carbohydrate and one GlcNAc. Starting from the derivatives with one complex-type carbohydrate and one GlcNAc, a high-mannose-type oligosaccharide was successfully transferred to the remaining GlcNAc using another endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Arthrobacter protophormiae. Thus, we were able to obtain glycopeptides containing not only two complex-type carbohydrates, but also both complex and high-mannose-type oligosaccharides in a single molecule. Using the resultant glycosylated calcitonin derivatives, the effects of di-N-glycosylation on the structure and the activity of calcitonin were studied. The effect appeared to be predictable from the results of mono-N-glycosylated calcitonin derivatives.

Abstract
Endo-M, endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Mucor hiemalis, is known as a useful enzyme for the synthesis of neoglycopeptides due to its transglycosylation activity. We cloned the Endo-M gene encoding a putative 744 amino acids, which shows high identity to glycoside hydrolase family 85 endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases. The gene encoding Endo-M was expressed in protease-deficient Candida boidinii with a molecular mass of 85 kDa as a monomeric form. Recombinant Endo-M could liberate both high-mannose type and biantennary complex type oligosaccharides from glycopeptides, which was same as the native enzyme. The Km and Kcat values for DNS-Man6GlcNAc2Asn were 0.51 mM and 8.25 s(-1), respectively. Recombinant Endo-M also exhibited transglycosylation activity toward high-mannose type and biantennary complex type oligosaccharides, which were transferred to alcohols, monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and glycosides. To investigate about the catalytically essential amino acids of Endo-M, site-directed mutagenesis was performed, and it was found that mutants E177G and E177Q completely abolished the hydrolytic activity and W228R partially abolished the transglycosylation activity.

Abstract
A bioactive peptide containing a glutamine-linked oligosaccharide was chemo-enzymatically synthesized by use of the solid-phase method of peptide synthesis and the transglycosylation activity of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Substance P, a neuropeptide, is an undecapeptide containing two L-glutamine residues. A substance P derivative with an N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue attached to the fifth or sixth L-glutamine residue from the N-terminal region was chemically synthesized. A sialo complex-type oligosaccharide derived from a glycopeptide of hen egg yolk was added to the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine moiety of the substance P derivative using the transglycosylation activity of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Mucor hiemalis, and a substance P derivative with a sialo complex-type oligosaccharide attached to the L-glutamine residue was synthesized. This glycosylated substance P was biologically active, although the activity was rather low, and stable against peptidase digestion. The oligosaccharide moiety attached to the L-glutamine residue of the peptide was not liberated by peptide-N(4)-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase F.

Abstract
Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Arthrobacter protophormiae (Endo-A) has a high level of transglycosylation activity. To determine which amino acids are involved in this activity, we employed deletion analysis, as well as random and site-directed mutagenesis. Using PCR random mutagenesis, 11 mutants with greatly decreased levels of enzyme activity were isolated. Six catalytically essential amino acids were identified by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutants E173G, E175Q, D206G, and D270N had markedly reduced hydrolysis activity, while mutants V109D, E173D, and E173Q lost all enzymatic activity, indicating that Val-109 and Glu-173 are important for the catalytic function. Moreover, we isolated a random mutation that abolished the transglycosylation activity without affecting the hydrolysis activity. The Trp-216 to Arg mutation was identified, by site-directed mutagenesis, as that responsible for the loss of transglycosylation activity. While other mutants of Trp-216 showed reduced activity, mutation to another positively charged residue (Lys) also abolished the transglycosylation activity. Sequence comparison with two other endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases, that possess transglycosylation activity and that have been cloned recently, reveals a high degree of identity in the N-terminal regions of the three enzymes. These results indicate that the tryptophan residue at position 216 of Endo-A has a key role in the transglycosylation.

Abstract
A novel chemoenzymatic approach to synthesize neoglycoproteins containing high-mannose-type oligosaccharides is described. p-Isothiocyanatophenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside (Glc-ITC) was transferred to the reducing end of the high-mannose-type oligosaccharides using a transglycosylation activity of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase A (Endo-A). A novel oligosaccharide, Man(6)GlcNAc-Glc-ITC, was synthesized as a coupling reagent for lysyl and N-terminal residues of the protein moiety. The neoglycoconjugate was coupled with several nonglycosylated proteins such as ribonuclease A, lysozyme, and alpha-lactalbumin. Between one and four high-mannose-type oligosaccharides were incorporated per molecule of these proteins. This method should be very useful for the synthesis of neoglycoproteins with homogeneous high-mannose-type oligosaccharides.

Abstract
A procedure for the enzymatic synthesis of neoglycoenzymes is described. The gene encoding endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Arthrobacter protophormiae (Endo-A) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein linked to glutathione S-transferase (GST). GST-Endo-A fusion was extracted as a soluble protein. The fusion protein was purified to homogeneity with glutathione-Sepharose 4B and showed transglycosylation activity toward high-mannose-type glycopeptides without removing the GST moiety. The GST-Endo-A immobilized on glutathione-Sepharose 4B retained its transglycosylation activity. The immobilized enzyme could transfer (Man)(6)GlcNAc en bloc to partially deglycosylated ribonuclease B without damaging its enzyme activity. The immobilized GST-Endo-A should be very useful for synthesizing active neoglycoenzymes attached with homogeneous N-linked oligosaccharides.

Abstract
The transglycosylation activity of Arthrobacter endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Endo-A) was used for the enzymatic synthesis of a novel oligosaccharide, Man6GlcNAc-5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-glucoside (Man6GlcNAc-Glc-beta-X). Various endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases hydrolyzed this oligosaccharide, producing Man6GlcNAc and Glc-beta-X. The E. coli strains coexpressing Endo-A and beta-glucosidase formed blue colonies in the presence of Man6GlcNAc-Glc-beta-X. Therefore, endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity could be directly detected by the plate assay. This simple plate assay is useful for screening microorganisms for endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structures of eel calcitonin (CT) and two glycosylated CT derivatives, [Asn(GlcNAc)3]-CT (CT-GlcNAc) and [Asn(Man6-GlcNAc2)3]-CT (CT-M6), in micelles were determined by solution NMR spectroscopy. The topologies of these peptides associated with oriented lipid bilayers were determined with solid-state NMR. All of the peptides were found to have an identical conformation in micelles characterized by an amphipathic alpha-helix consisting of residues Ser5 through Leu19 followed by an unstructured region at the C-terminus. The overall conformation of the peptide moiety was not affected by the glycosylation. Nevertheless, comparison of the relative exchange rates of the Leu12 amide proton might suggest the possibility that fluctuations of the alpha-helix are reduced by glycosylation. The presence of NOEs between the carbohydrate and the peptide moieties of CT-GlcNAc and CT-M6 and the amide proton chemical shift data suggested that the carbohydrate interacted with the peptide, and this might account for the conformational stabilization of the alpha-helix. Both the unmodified CT and the glycosylated CT were found to have orientations with their helix axes parallel to the plane of the lipid bilayers by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
