Abstract
Fifty years ago, the first landmark structures of antibodies heralded the dawn of structural immunology. Momentum then started to build toward understanding how antibodies could recognize the vast universe of potential antigens and how antibody-combining sites could be tailored to engage antigens with high specificity and affinity through recombination of germline genes (V, D, J) and somatic mutation. Equivalent groundbreaking structures in the cellular immune system appeared some 15 to 20 years later and illustrated how processed protein antigens in the form of peptides are presented by MHC molecules to T cell receptors. Structures of antigen receptors in the innate immune system then explained their inherent specificity for particular microbial antigens including lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, small molecules, and specific proteins. These two sides of the immune system act immediately (innate) to particular microbial antigens or evolve (adaptive) to attain high specificity and affinity to a much wider range of antigens. We also include examples of other key receptors in the immune system (cytokine receptors) that regulate immunity and inflammation. Furthermore, these antigen receptors use a limited set of protein folds to accomplish their various immunological roles. The other main players are the antigens themselves. We focus on surface glycoproteins in enveloped viruses including SARS-CoV-2 that enable entry and egress into host cells and are targets for the antibody response. This review covers what we have learned over the past half century about the structural basis of the immune response to microbial pathogens and how that information can be utilized to design vaccines and therapeutics.

Abstract
Glycosylation of proteins plays an important role in health and diseases. At present new simple and inexpensive methods of glycoprotein analysis are sought. We developed a monoclonal antibody Manost 2.1 in mice after immunization with the adduct of mannan with Os(VI)temed complex (temed is N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine). The specificity of this antibody to different biomolecules treated with Os(VI)temed was tested using dot blot immunoassay. Manost 2.1 showed specificity toward Os(VI)temed-modified polysaccharides, glycoproteins and ribonucleotide at the 3'-end in DNA. The antibody recognized neither the unmodified compounds nor the non-glycosylated proteins treated with Os(VI)temed. We also performed western blotting and Coomassie silver blue staining of mixtures of biomacromolecules treated with Os(VI)temed and identified specifically the modified glycoproteins. The immunochemical method using Manost 2.1 was compared with electrochemical analyses based on redox signals of the Os(VI)temed adducts, with similar results in terms of sensitivity. This new antibody-based approach opens the door for rapid and inexpensive analysis of glycans and glycoproteins in various scientific and medical fields, including cancer research and the future application of glycoprotein detection in clinical practice.

Abstract
We report the fine structure of a nearly contiguous series of N-glycans from the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Five major classes are revealed including high mannose, mammalian-type complex, hybrid, fuco-pausimannosidic (five mannose residues or fewer substituted with fucose), and phosphocholine oligosaccharides. The high mannose, complex, and hybrid N-glycan series show a high degree of conservation with the mammalian biosynthetic pathways. The fuco-pausimannosidic glycans contain a novel terminal fucose substitution of mannose. The phosphocholine oligosaccharides are high mannose type and are multiply substituted with phosphocholine. Although phosphocholine oligosaccharides are known immunomodulators in human nematode and trematode infections, C. elegans is unique as a non-parasitic nematode containing phosphocholine N-glycans. Therefore, studies in C. elegans should aid in the elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway(s) of this class of biomedically relevant compounds. Results presented here show that C. elegans has a functional orthologue for nearly every known enzyme found to be deficient in congenital disorders of glycosylation types I and II. This nematode is well characterized genetically and developmentally. Therefore, elucidation of its N-glycome, as shown in this report, may place it among the useful systems used to investigate human disorders of glycoconjugate synthesis such as the congenital disorders of glycosylation syndromes.

Abstract
The use of NMR spectroscopy for the elucidation of larger carbohydrate structures isolated from natural sources is principally limited by severe overlap of 1H signals, poor sensitivity when experiments involve 13C nuclei, and difficulties in conclusively establishing linkage positions. Peracetylation of oligosaccharides with doubly 13C-labeled acetyl groups provides several major advantages for their structural elucidation when combined with specifically tailored NMR pulse sequences. The 2.54.7 Hz J-coupling constants between acetyl carbonyl-13C nuclei and protons of the sugar ring at the sites of acetylation enables these sites to be readily assigned. By inference, glycosidic linkage positions on monosaccharides can be unambiguously determined. This can be used in lieu of permethylation analysis, yet does not require degradation of oligosaccharides. Spectral dispersion in the directly detected (1H) dimension is increased ~2.62.7-fold due to the downfield shifting of sugar-ring protons at the positions of acetylation. Peracetylation also introduces three new frequency dimensions for NMR studies, namely the 13CO, 13CMe, and 1HMe frequencies of the acetyl groups. These frequencies can be correlated to sugar protons, either independently or in combination, in alternative 2-, 3-, or 4-D experiments. The use of HartmannHahn coherence transfer combined with zero-quantum dephasing periods permits purely absorptive in-phase multiplets to be extracted and enables accurate scalar couplings between ring protons to be measured, even in multidimensional experiments. Results are illustrated on a nonasaccharide-alditol derived from N-linked glycoproteins and on some smaller structures containing sialic acids and N-acetylhexosamines. Methods for small-scale sample acetylation using the superacylation catalyst, 4-dimethylamino pyridine, are described. A brief historical perspective pertinent to the fundamental contributions of Dr. R.U. Lemieux to the field of carbohydrate NMR is also presented.Key words: NMR, oligosaccharides, peracetylation, doubly 13C-labeled acetyl groups, tailored pulse sequences, heteronuclear HartmannHahn.

Abstract
The initial steps in N-linked glycosylation involve the synthesis of a lipid-linked core oligosaccharide followed by the transfer of the core glycan to nascent polypeptides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we describe alg11, a new yeast glycosylation mutant that is defective in the last step of the synthesis of the Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol core oligosaccharide on the cytosolic face of the ER. A deletion of the ALG11 gene leads to poor growth and temperature-sensitive lethality. In an alg11 lesion, both Man(3)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol and Man(4)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol are translocated into the ER lumen as substrates for the Man-P-dolichol-dependent sugar transferases in this compartment. This leads to a unique family of oligosaccharide structures lacking one or both of the lower arm alpha1,2-linked Man residues. The former are elongated to mannan, whereas the latter are poor substrates for outerchain initiation by Ochlp (Nakayama, K.-I., Nakanishi-Shindo, Y., Tanaka, A., Haga-Toda, Y., and Jigami, Y. (1997) FEBS Lett. 412, 547-550) and accumulate largely as truncated biosynthetic end products. The ALG11 gene is predicted to encode a 63.1-kDa membrane protein that by indirect immunofluorescence resides in the ER. The Alg11 protein is highly conserved, with homologs in fission yeast, worms, flies, and plants. In addition to these Alg11-related proteins, Alg11p is also similar to Alg2p, a protein that regulates the addition of the third mannose to the core oligosaccharide. All of these Alg11-related proteins share a 23-amino acid sequence that is found in over 60 proteins from bacteria to man whose function is in sugar metabolism, implicating this sequence as a potential sugar nucleotide binding motif.

Abstract
Peracetylation of free hydroxyl groups in model saccharides with [13C-carbonyl]acetic anhydride resulted in additional splittings of sugar ring proton signals in NMR spectra, due to 3-bond J couplings between each acetyl carbonyl carbon and a sugar ring proton at that position. Quantification of 144 of these 3-bond coupling constants in different saccharide structures showed a range between 2.5 and 4.7 Hz, whereas all possible 4-bond couplings between sugar ring protons and acetyl carbonyl carbons were within linewidth (< 0.5 Hz). Therefore, further splitting of sugar ring proton signals in the range of 2.5-4.7 Hz upon acetylation with a [13C-carbonyl]acetyl group identifies that position as (formerly) having a free hydroxyl group. This performs the same basic function as permethylation analysis, but does not require hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages. Additionally, proton-detected 2D heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) experiments or proton-detected heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy (hetCOSY) enabled ring proton-carbonyl-13C 3-bond J connectivities to be correlated with high sensitivity. Modified NMR pulse sequences are reported that include frequency selective decoupling schemes to enable coupling constants to be determined from 2D data. The tailored pulse sequences resulted in higher spectral resolution and sensitivity for [13C-carbonyl]-ring proton correlations.

Abstract
The large N-linked oligosaccharides released from Schizosaccharomyces pombe by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H were examined to determine how the negatively chargedpyruvylated galactoses present (Gemmill,T.R., and Trimble,R.B., 1996, J. Biol. Chem ., 271, 25945-25949) were attached to the oligosaccharide chains. Binding of biotinylated human serum amyloid P and peanut agglutinin to native and depyruvylated S.pombe glycoproteins, respectively, indicated that the pyruvylated epitope was likely to be in the beta configuration. Examination by high-field 1H NMR of whole glycans and a disaccharide fragment released from them on partial acid hydrolysis showed that the pyruvylated galactose species was in fact beta1,3-linked to a second galactose, and this occurred an average of five to six times on nominal Gal57Man64GlcNAc N-glycans. The pyruvate-2,(4,6)Gal-beta1,3Gal epitope is chemically similar to acetaldehyde-Galbeta1,3Gal groups found on the glycoproteins from Paramyxovirus-infected bovine kidney cells (Prehm, P., Scheid,A. and Choppin,P.W. ,1979, J. Biol. Chem ., 254, 9669-9677). The 1:1 stoichiometry between pyruvate and beta-linked galactose in these S.pombe glycans indicates that either pyruvate addition to terminal beta1,3Gal is highly efficient or that pyruvylated Gal is transferred en bloc to alpha1,2-linked Gal residues in theN-linked chains. In contradiction to many galactomannan-producing fungi, which add substantial amounts of Gal in the furanose form to their glycoproteins, all detectable Gal in the large S.pombe galactomannans is in the pyranose form, as found in higher eukaryotes. The current work shows that the S.pombe outer chain structure is a poly-alpha1,6Man backbone 2-O-substituted with either Gal or the pyruvylated galactobiose and contains little alpha1,2-linked or 2-O-substituted Man. This is in contrast to the S. cerevisiae outer chain, which is poly-alpha1,6Man substituted with alpha1,2-linked Man sidechains (Ballou,C.E. ,1990, Methods Enzymol , 185, 440-470).

Abstract
The biantennary oligosaccharide analogue beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Man p-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->2)-alpha- D-Man p-(1-->6)]-beta-D-man p-O(CH2)8COOMe (3) is a potential substrate for N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (GlcNAcTs) III-V which are present in mammalian cells. The di-O-methylated analogue of 3, beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->2)-[4-O-methyl-alpha-D-Man p]-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->2)-[6-O-methyl-alpha-D-Man p]-(1-->6)]-beta-D-Man p-O-(CH2)8COOMe (5), was prepared by a block synthesis approach involving sequential addition of two O-methylated disaccharide donors to a protected central beta-D-Man residue. The OH groups acted on by GlcNAcT-IV and -V are protected from glycosylation in 5 since they are present as their methyl ethers. Pentasaccharide 5 was found to be an excellent substrate for GlcNAcT-III (EC 2.4.1.144) from rat kidney with Km = 0.15 mM. The product formed by incubation of 5 with a rat kidney extract, in the presence of UDP-GlcNAc, was isolated, structurally characterized by NMR spectroscopy and confirmed to be the expected di-O-methyl hexasaccharide where a beta-D-Glc pNAc residue had been added to OH-4 of the central beta-D-Man p unit.

Abstract
8-Methoxycarbonyloctyl 3,5-di-O-(alpha-D-mannopyranosyl)-beta-D-mannopyranoside (1) has been synthesised chemically. Compound 1 is a substrate for N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-I (GlcNAcT-I), which transfers a beta-D-GlcpNAc residue from UDP-GlcpNAc to position 2 of the alpha-Man-(1----3) unit to produce 2. In turn, the tetrasaccharide 2 is an acceptor for GlcNAcT-II which, in the presence of UDP-GlcpNAc, converts 2 into 8-methoxycarbonyloctyl 3,6-di-O-[2-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D- mannopyranosyl]-beta-D-mannopyranoside (3). These conversions were carried out on a 50-100 mg scale using enzyme preparations obtained from rabbit liver in a single step by affinity chromatography.

Abstract
Human lutropin or luteinizing hormone (hLH) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein, composed of two subunits. hLH alpha (N-glycosylated at Asn52 and Asn78) and hLH beta (N-glycosylated at Asn30). The sugar chains were liberated by hydrazinolysis from intact hLH beta and from glycopeptides obtained after tryptic digestion of hLH alpha, subsequently reduced and fractionated as alditols by anion-exchange and ion-suppression amine-adsorption HPLC and identified mainly by one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate predominantly diantennary. N-acetyllactosamine-type structures at all three glycosylation sites. The oligosaccharides attached to Asn52 (hLH alpha) and Asn30 (hLH beta) show a remarkably similar pattern, with mainly chain-terminating 4-sulphated 2-deoxy-2-N-acetylamino-D-galactose (GalNAc) and a sulphated/sialylated structure as the major single component. However, virtually all N-glycans on the beta subunit bear a fucose residue alpha 1-6-linked to the proximal GlcNAc, whereas those at Asn52 (and Asn78) of the alpha subunit are predominantly non-fucosylated. The oligosaccharides at Asn78 (hLH alpha) are sialylated rather than sulphated and contain the unique sequence NeuAc alpha 2-6 GalNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-2 Man alpha 1-3 as part of the majority of mono- and disialylated compounds. The major single constituent at Asn78 has the following structure: [formula, see text]

Abstract
The Asn-linked carbohydrate structures of the heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone lutropin from ovine pituitary glands have been investigated at each of its three glycosylation sites using one- and two-dimensional 400-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Highly purified, biologically active ovine lutropin (oLH) was dissociated and separated into its alpha and beta subunits (oLH alpha, glycosylated at Asn56 and Asn82; oLH beta glycosylated at Asn13). Oligosaccharides from intact oLH beta and from glycopeptides obtained after tryptic digestion of oLH alpha were released by hydrazinolysis and subsequently fractionated according to charge and size by anion-exchange and ion-suppression amine-adsorption HPLC, respectively. 1H-NMR analysis revealed, that monosulphated, mostly hybrid-type, oligosaccharides predominate at both glycosylation sites of oLH alpha, whereas a disulphated, diantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type structure accounts for more than 60% of total oligosaccharides in the beta subunit. Furthermore, the saccharides attached to the beta subunit are almost completely fucosylated (Fuc alpha 1-6) at the reducing terminal GlcNAc, whereas the sugar chains in oLH alpha are either approximately 50% fucosylated (Asn82) or contain fucose only to a minor extent (Asn56). The results clearly indicate a distinct subunit- and site-specific synthesis of oligosaccharides in ovine lutropin and suggest that biosynthesis is effectively influenced by the surrounding polypeptide chain(s) at a given site.

Abstract
Glycoprotein 71 from Friend murine leukemia virus was digested with proteases and the glycopeptides obtained were isolated and assigned, by amino acid sequencing, to the eight N-glycosylated asparagines in the molecule; only Asn334 and Asn341 could not be separated. The oligosaccharides liberated from each glycopeptide by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, or by peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F, were fractionated and subjected to structural analysis by one- and two-dimensional 1H NMR, as well as by methylation/gas-liquid-chromatography/mass-fragmentography. At each glycosylation site, the substituents were found to be heterogeneous including, at Asn334/341 and Asn410, substitution by different classes of N-glycans: oligomannosidic oligosaccharides, mainly Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----, were detected at Asn168, Asn334/341 and Asn410. Hybrid species, partially sialylated, intersected and (proximally) funcosylated Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)Man alpha 1----6 and Man alpha 1----3Man alpha 1----6 and Man alpha 1----3Man alpha 1----6(Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----2Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----, were found at Asn12, as previously published [Schlüter, M., Linder, D., Geyer, R., Hunsmann, H., Schneider, J. & Stirm, S. (1984) FEBS Lett. 169, 194-198] and at Asn334/341. N-Acetyllactosaminic glycans, mainly partially intersected and fucosylated NeuAc alpha 2----3 or Gal alpha 1----3Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----2Man alpha 1----6(NeuAc alpha 2----6 or NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal-beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----2Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNac beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1---- with some bifurcation at ----6Man alpha 1----6, were obtained from Asn266, Asn302, Asn334/341, Asn374 and Asn410. In addition, Thr268, Thr277, Thr279, Thr304/309, as well as Ser273 and Ser275, were found to be O-glycosidically substituted by Gal beta 1----3GalNAc alpha 1----, monosialylated or desialylated at position 3 of Gal or/and position 6 of GalNAc.

Abstract
Many of the products prepared by biotechnological approaches, including recombinant genetic engineering, cell tissue culture, and monoclonal technologies, are glycoproteins. As little as five years ago, glycosylation was believed to play no significant role in the function of glycoproteins. Recent large scale testing of glycoprotein-based pharmaceuticals has indicated that both the extent and type of glycosylation can play a central role in glycoprotein activity. Although methods for compositional and sequence analysis of proteins and nucleic acids are generally available, similar methods have yet to be developed for carbohydrate oligomers and polymers. This review focuses on new, developing methods for the analysis and sequencing of the carbohydrate portion of glycoproteins. Included are: (1) the release of oligosaccharides and hydrolysis of carbohydrate chains using enzymatic and chemical methods; (2) fractionation by LPLC, electrophoresis, HPLC, and lectin affinity chromatography; (3) detection through the preparation of derivatives or by new electrochemical methods; (4) analysis by spectroscopic methods, including MS and high-field NMR; and (5) their sequencing through the use of multiple, well-integrated techniques. The ultimate goal of the analytical approaches discussed is to firmly establish structure and, thus, permit the study of structure-function relationships and eventually to allow the intelligent application of carbohydrate remodeling techniques in the preparation of new glycoproteins.

Abstract
The hydrogen-dependent reduction of methylcoenzyme M catalyzed by coenzyme-depleted cell-free extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was stimulated by micromolar concentrations of a UDP-disaccharide present in the organism. The compound was isolated and identified as UDP-1-O-alpha-D-2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucopyranose (UDPGlcpNAc) glycosidically linked to 2-acetamido-2-deoxymannopyranosyluronic acid. Maximal stimulation was observed when both the UDP-disaccharide and mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate were present in the reaction mixtures. The UDP derivative isolated was not specific in its action: other UDP-sugars tested in micromolar concentrations stimulated the methylcoenzyme M reduction to the same extent. The activated sugars presumably substitute for ATP, which is usually required in much higher concentrations to activate the methylcoenzyme M reductase system.

Abstract
A prototype hydroxylated polymeric support, Glyco-PAK N, was employed to separate a number of neutral reducing oligosaccharides derived from various glycoproteins by the hydrazinolysis/re-N-acetylation/mild acid hydrolysis procedure. General features of the separation properties of the matrix are described. A major advantage of the packing over silica-based supports is its stability, a property which is advantageous both in repetitive analytical chromatography and in the preparative isolation and spectroscopic identification of pure compounds, free of column breakdown products.

Abstract
The utility of 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy in the identification of the primary structures of mannose-containing glycans is investigated. Unlike 1H resonances where the chemical shifts reflect multiple short- and long-range effects, the chemical shifts of 13C resonances are dependent largely upon short-range effects classified as glycosylation (linkage) and substitution effects. These effects are parametized for glycans composed of mannose and encoded in a FORTRAN algorithm. Applications of this program to "unknown" sets of experimental chemical shifts for the resonances of anomeric carbons gave the following conclusions. (1) This program can be used to produce a sub-set of possible structures inclusive of the "known" structure. (2) For other than simple oligosaccharides, it is unlikely that a single structure is consistent with the data for anomeric carbons alone, even when the linkage composition of the glycan has been assessed from other spectral data. (3) When used in conjunction with other chemical techniques, this program can provide a powerful tool for primary analysis of the structure of mannose-containing glycans.

Abstract
Plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PD-MS) was used to assess the molecular weight heterogeneity of glycopeptides (6-12 amino acids) from each of the three N-linked glycosylation sites of bovine fetuin (R.G. Spiro (1962) J. Biol. Chem. 237, 382-388). The glycopeptides were purified by a combination of anion exchange chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC. Since no detectable fragmentation was observed in the PD-MS of these asialoglycopeptides, the observation of multiple molecular ions could be attributed to either carbohydrate or peptide heterogeneity. Assignment of molecular ions, within 3 to 5 amu of the theoretical mass, of glycopeptides from each glycosylation site was made from amino acid composition, peptide sequence around the glycosylation sites, and previously reported triantennary oligosaccharide structures (B. Nilsson, N.E. Nordén, and S. Svensson (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 4545-4553). Ion groups differing in mass by one N-acetyllactosamine unit were observed in glycopeptides from the Asn-Asp and Asn-Cys sites, localizing these previously observed biantennary oligosaccharide structures (R.R. Townsend, M.R. Hardy, T.C. Wong, and Y.C. Lee (1986) Biochemistry 25, 5716-5725; S. Takasaki and A. Kobata (1986) Biochemistry 25, 5709-5715) to these two sites. The presence of biantennary oligosaccharides at the Asn-Asp sites could be substantiated using 1H NMR but were not detected in the Asn-Cys glycopeptides. PD-MS was also implemented in the purification protocol for these glycopeptides and proved to be useful in assessing purity of chromatographic fractions which were mixtures of glycopeptides displaying both carbohydrate and peptide heterogeneity. A preparation scheme was developed to obtain molecular ions of desialylated glycopeptides by PD-MS.

Abstract
Chicken heterophile antigenic determinant (CHAD-1) has been previously found in medullary lymphocytes of the bursa and thymus as well as in some non-lymphoid cells by the immunoperoxidase method, using rabbit antiserum to a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) as the first antibody. In this work we demonstrated that absorption of anti-CFA serum with highly purified preparations of hen egg white glycoproteins (ovomucoid, ovoinhibitor, ovalbumin) or chicken orosomucoid completely blocked immunoperoxidase staining for CHAD-1. Treatment of these glycoproteins with beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase suppressed their capacity to inhibit this staining. Absorption of anti-CFA serum with asparagine-linked glycopeptides which have the mannose alpha 1,3 arm disubstituted by GlcNAc residues and which have another GlcNAc residue linked beta 1,4 to the beta-linked mannose of the core also inhibited staining for CHAD-1. These data indicated that highly branched asparagine-linked oligosaccharides with terminal GlcNAc residues beta-linked to mannose represent immunoreactive domains of CHAD-1.

Abstract
The core structure of Citrobacter PCM 1487 lipopolysaccharide has been established using methylation analysis/mass spectrometry, chemical degradations and one- and two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy at 500 MHz. 1H-NMR assignments are given for all sugar components of the core oligosaccharide. In the formula shown below, the alternative locations of branch terminal heptose (LDHep) and diphosphorylethanolamine (PPEtN) residues are marked by dashed lines; dOclA stands for 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid. (Formula: see text). The sample of the core oligosaccharide showed some microheterogeneity due to a slightly incomplete substitution by terminal N-acetylgalactosamine and a partial splitting of diphosphorylethanolamine residues.

Abstract
The effect of a "bisecting" 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl group, linked (1----4) to the beta-D-mannopyranosyl group of asparagine-linked complex and hybrid oligosaccharides, on the binding of [14C]acetylated glycopeptides to columns of immobilized concanavalin A (Con A), Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin (E-PHA), and Ricinus communis agglutinin-120 (RCA-120) was investigated. The presence of this "bisecting" GlcNAc group caused significant inhibition of the binding to ConA-agarose of biantennary complex glycopeptides in which the two branches are terminated at their nonreducing ends by two GlcNAc groups, or by a Gal and a GlcNAc group, or by two Gal groups, or by a Man and a GlcNAc group. Binding of biantennary, complex glycopeptides to E-PHA-agarose required a "bisecting" GlcNAc group, a Gal group at the nonreducing terminus of the alpha-D-Man-p-(1----6) branch, and a terminal or internal GlcNAc residue linked beta-(1----2) to the alpha-D-Manp-(1----3) branch. Binding to RCA-120-agarose occurred only when at least one nonreducing terminal Gal group was present, and increased as the proportion of terminal Gal groups increased; the presence of a "bisecting" GlcNAc group caused either enhancement or inhibition of these binding patterns. It is concluded that a "bisecting" GlcNAc group affects the binding of glycopeptides to all three lectin columns.

Abstract
Two types of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gamma-GTP) were identified in normal human pancreas, but ductal cell carcinomas of the pancreas showed only one type on analysis with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, anion exchange column chromatography, concanavalin A affinity chromatography and isoelectric focusing. gamma-GTP from carcinoma tissue was almost identical to the sialic acid-rich type of normal pancreatic gamma-GTP, and our methods did not evidence a difference between the two. However, E-PHA lectin column chromatography demonstrated differences in their elution pattern. Compared with normal pancreatic gamma-GTPs, the elution pattern of the carcinoma gamma-GTP was slowly delayed by the E-PHA lectin column. This finding suggests the presence of a bisecting N-acetylglucosamine-rich sugar chain in pancreatic carcinoma gamma-GTP, as well as the possible presence of a different sugar structure in the carcinoma gamma-GTP.

Abstract
Mouse myeloma immunoglobulin IgM heavy chains were cleaved with cyanogen bromide into nine peptide fragments, four of which contain asparagine-linked glycosylation. Three glycopeptides contain a single site, including Asn 171, 402, and 563 in the intact heavy chain. Another glycopeptide contains two sites at Asn 332 and 364. The carbohydrate containing fragments were treated with Pronase and fractionated by elution through Bio-Gel P-6. The major glycopeptides from each site were analyzed by 500 MHz 1H-NMR and the carbohydrate compositions determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The oligosaccharide located at Asn 171 is a biantennary complex and is highly sialylated. The amount of sialic acid varies, and some oligosaccharides contain alpha 1,3-galactose linked to the terminal beta 1,4-galactose. The oligosaccharides at Asn 332, Asn 364, an Asn 402 are all triantennary and are nearly completely sialylated on two branches and partially sialylated on the triantennary branch linked beta 1,4 to the core mannose. The latter is sialylated about 40% of the time for all three glycosylation sites. The major oligosaccharide located at Asn 563 is of the high mannose type. The 1H-NMR determination of structures at Asn 563 suggests that the high mannose oligosaccharide contains only three mannose residues.

Abstract
Lec1 CHO cell glycosylation mutants are defective in N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-TI) activity and therefore cannot convert the oligomannosyl intermediate (Man5GlcNAc2Asn) into complex carbohydrates. Lec1A CHO cell mutants have been shown to belong to the same genetic complementation group but exhibit different phenotypic properties. Evidence is presented that lec1A represents a new mutation at the lec1 locus resulting in partial loss of GlcNAc-TI activity. Structural studies of the carbohydrates associated with vesicular stomatitis virus grown in Lec1A cells (Lec1A/VSV) revealed the presence of biantennary and branched complex carbohydrates as well as the processing intermediate Man5GlcNAc2Asn. By contrast, the glycopeptides from virus grown in CHO cells (CHO/VSV) possessed only fully processed complex carbohydrates, whereas those from Lec1/VSV were almost solely of the Man5GlcNAc2Asn intermediate type. Therefore, the Lec1A glycosylation phenotype appears to result from the partial processing of N-linked carbohydrates because of reduced GlcNAc-TI action on membrane glycoproteins. Genetic experiments provided evidence that lec1A is a single mutation affecting GlcNAc-TI activity. Lec1A mutants could be isolated at frequencies of 10(-5) to 10(-6) from unmutagenized CHO cell populations by single-step selection, a rate inconsistent with two mutations. In addition, segregants selected from Lec1A X parental cell hybrid populations expressed only Lec1A or related lectin-resistant phenotypes and did not include any with a Lec1 phenotype. The Lec1A mutant should be of interest for studies on the mechanisms that control carbohydrate processing in animal cells and the effects of reduced GlcNAc-TI activity on the glycosylation, translocation, and compartmentalization of cellular glycoproteins.

Abstract
Pig and rat colon mucosal membrane preparations catalyze the in vitro transfer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to GalNAc-ovine submaxillary mucin to form GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc-mucin. Rat colon also catalyzes the in vitro transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc-mucin to form GlcNAc beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6) GalNAc-mucin. This is the first demonstration of in vitro synthesis of the GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc disaccharide and of the GlcNAc beta 1-3-(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc trisaccharide, two of the four major core types found in mammalian glycoproteins of the mucin type, i.e., those containing oligosaccharides with GalNAc-alpha-serine (threonine) linkages. The activity catalyzing synthesis of the disaccharide has been named UDP-GlcNAc:GalNAc-R beta 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (mucin core 3 beta 3-GlcNAc-transferase), while the activity responsible for synthesizing the trisaccharide has been named UDP-GlcNAc:GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc-R (GlcNAc to GalNAc) beta 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (mucin core 4 beta 6-GlcNAc-transferase). The beta 3-GlcNAc-transferase from pig colon is activated by Triton X-100, has an absolute requirement for Mn2+, and transfers GlcNAc to GalNAc-alpha-phenyl, GalNAc-alpha-benzyl, and GalNAc-ovine submaxillary mucin with apparent Km values of 5, 2, and 3 mM and Vmax values of 59, 62, and 37 nmol h-1 (mg of protein)-1, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A microcomputer program for determining primary oligosaccharide structures by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance is reported. The program uses the data base obtained from spectra of model compounds reported in the literature. A number of high-mannose-type asparagine-linked glycopeptide spectra containing tabulated chemical shifts measured at room temperature were tested to determine the ability of the computer to correctly assign carbohydrate units into a complete structure. High-mannose structures ranging from five to nine oligomannosyl units were completely and unambiguously analyzed to give complete structural assignments. The computer program will also resolve glycopeptide mixtures. The method provides investigators with a useful tool for accurately evaluating nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and should greatly facilitate the complicated and time-consuming evaluation of microheterogeneity in samples commonly isolated from biological systems.

Abstract
Bovine milk UDPgalactose:N-acetylglucosamine beta-4-galactosyltransferase has been used to investigate the effect of a bisecting GlcNAc residue (linked beta 1,4 to the beta-linked mannose of the trimannosyl core of asparagine-linked complex oligosaccharides) on galactosylation of biantennary complex oligosaccharides. Columns of immobilized lectins (concanavalin A, erythroagglutinating phytohemagglutinin, and Ricinus communis agglutinin 120) were used to separate the various products of the reactions. Preferential galactosylation of the GlcNAc beta 1,2Man alpha 1,3 arm occurred both in the absence and in the presence of a bisecting GlcNAc residue; the ratio of the rates of galactosylation of the Man alpha 1,3 arm to the Man alpha 1,6 arm was 6.5 in the absence of a bisecting GlcNAc and 2.8 in its presence. The bisecting GlcNAc residue reduced galactosylation of the Man alpha 1,3 arm by about 78% probably due to steric hindrance of the GlcNAc beta 1,2Man alpha 1,3 beta 1,4 region of the substrate by the bisecting GlcNAc. This steric hindrance prevents the action of four other enzymes involved in assembly of complex asparagine-linked oligosaccharides and indicates the importance of the bisecting GlcNAc residue in the control of glycoprotein biosynthesis. The Man alpha 1,3 arm of biantennary oligosaccharides is believed to be freely accessible to enzyme action whereas the Man alpha 1,6 arm is believed to be folded back toward the core. This may explain the preferential action of Gal-transferase on the Man alpha 1,3 arm of both bisected and nonbisected oligosaccharides.
