Abstract
Five variants of mouse serum transferrin (mTf, designated mTf-I to mTf-V) with respect to carbohydrate composition have been isolated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography in the following relative percentages: mTf-I: 0.55; mTf-II: 0.79; mTf-III: 71.80; mTf-VI: 21. 90 and mTf-V: 4.96. The primary structures of the major glycans from mTf-III and mTf-IV were determined by methylation analysis and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. All glycans possessed a common trimannosyl-N,N'-diacetylchitobiose core. From the glycovariant mTf-III two isomers of a conventional biantennary N-acetyllactosamine type were isolated, in which two N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) residues are linked to galactose either by a (alpha 2-6) or (alpha 2-3) linkage. A subpopulation of this glycovariant contains a fucose residue (alpha 1-6)-linked to GlcNAc-1. The structure of the major glycan found in variant mTf-IV contained an additional Neu5Gc and possessed the following new type of linkage: Neu5Gc(alpha 2-3)Gal(beta 1-3)[Neu5Gc(alpha 2-6)]GlcNAc(beta 1-2 )Man(alpha 1-3). In addition to this glycan, a minor compound contained the same antennae linked to Man(alpha 1-6). In fraction mTf-V, which was found to be very heterogeneous by (1)H NMR analysis, carbohydrate composition and methylation analysis suggested the presence of tri'-antennary glycans sialylated by Neu5Gc alpha-2,6- and alpha-2, 3-linked to the terminal galactose residues. In summary, mTf glycans differed from those of other analyzed mammalian transferrins by the presence of Neu5Gc and by a Neu5Gc(alpha 2-6)GlcNAc linkage in trisialylated biantennary structures, reflecting in mouse liver, a high activity of CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase and (alpha 2-6)GlcNAc sialyltransferase.

Abstract
The capsular polysaccharide produced by the thermophilic cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus has been subjected to a specific degradation with lithium in ethylenediamine. The released undecasaccharide attached to one unit of tetrahydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic acid has been characterized by a combination of 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, monosaccharidic composition and linkage analyses. From the overlap of the structure of this oligosaccharide with previously identified di-, tri- and pentasaccharides released by mild acid hydrolysis, the capsular polysaccharide was deduced to have a pentadecasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure:

Abstract
In a series of studies, we have shown that Candida albicans synthesizes a glycolipid, phospholipomannan (PLM), which reacted with antibodies specific for beta-1,2-oligomannosides and was biosynthetically labeled by [(3)H]mannose, [(3)H]palmitic acid, and [(32)P]phosphorus. PLM has also been shown to be released from the C. albicans cell wall and to bind to and stimulate macrophage cells. In this study, we show by thin layer chromatography scanning of metabolically radiolabeled extracts that the C. albicans PLM corresponds to a family of mannose and inositol co-labeled glycolipids. We describe the purification process of the molecule and the release of its glycan fraction through alkaline hydrolysis. Analysis of this glycan fraction by radiolabeling and methylation-methanolysis confirmed the presence of inositol and of 1, 2-linked mannose units. NMR studies evidenced linear chains of beta-1,2-oligomannose as the major PLM components. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that these chains were present in phosphoinositolmannosides with degrees of polymerization varying from 8 to 18 sugar residues. The PLM appears as a new type of eukaryotic inositol-tagged glycolipid in relationship to both the absence of glucosamine and the organization of its glycan chains. This first structural evidence for the presence of beta-1, 2-oligomannosides in a glycoconjugate other than the C. albicans phosphopeptidomannan may have some pathophysiological relevance to the adhesive, protective epitope, and signaling properties thus far established for these residues.

Abstract
The binding of Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin-I isolectin B4 on the endogenous glycoproteins of different insect cell lines led us to characterize for the first time a UDP-Gal:Galbeta1-3GalNAc alpha1, 4-galactosyltransferase in a Mamestra brassicae cell line (Mb). The study of the acceptor specificity indicated that the Mb alpha-galactosyltransferase prefers Galbeta1-3-R as acceptor, and among such glycans, the relative substrate activity Vmax/Km was equal to 20 microliters.mg-1.h-1 for Galbetal-3GlcNAcbeta1-O-octyl and to 330 microliters.mg-1.h-1 for Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha-1-O-benzyl, showing clearly that Galbeta1-3GalNAc disaccharide was the more suitable acceptor substrate for Mb alpha-galactosyltransferase activity. Nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry data allowed us to establish that the Mb alpha-galactosyltransferase synthesizes one unique product, Galalpha1-4Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-O-benzyl. The Galbeta1-3GalNAc disaccharide is usually present on O-glycosylation sites of numerous asialoglycoproteins and at the nonreducing end of some glycolipids. We observed that Mb alpha1,4-galactosyltransferase catalyzed the transfer of galactose onto both natural acceptors. Finally, we demonstrated that the trisaccharide Galalpha1-4Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-O-benzyl was able to inhibit anti-PK monoclonal antibody-mediated hemagglutination of human blood group PK1 and PK2 erythrocytes.

Abstract
The minimal epitope of an anti-Candida albicans mannan monoclonal antibody (MAb) EB-CA1, used to detect mannanemia in patient sera, was determined, MAb EB-CA1 exhibited reactivity with oligomannosides released from the mannan acid stable domain, converted into neoglycolipids (NGLs) and coated onto ELISA plates. Reactivity occurred with mannopentaose and higher oligomers, whereas mannotriose and mannotetraose were unreactive. MAb EB-CA1 binding to mannan acid stable mannopentaose NGL displayed a dose dependent and saturable specific reactivity curve whereas there was a complete absence of binding, even at high concentrations, with NGLs constructed from the beta-1,2-linked mannopentaose derived from the mannan acid labile fraction. MAb EB-CA1 binding to acid stable mannopentaose NGL was inhibited by the homologous oligomannoside but not by mannotriose and mannotetraose. NMR analysis showed that mannotriose and mannotetraose contained exclusively alpha-1,2-linked D-mannopyranose units and that mannopentaose was a mixture of a mannopentaose alpha-1,2-linked and an isomer in which the fifth mannose was alpha-1,6-linked to the reducing unit of manno-alpha-1,2 tetraose. Western blot analysis has shown that MAb EB-CA1 epitope was expressed on a wide range of C. albicans manno-glycoconjugate as well as on manno-glycoconjugates of other pathogenic species of the genus Candida, viz. C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis and C. krusei.

Abstract
The heat-stable acid-soluble phosphoglycoprotein component PP3 was isolated from the bovine milk proteose peptone fraction by concanavalin A affinity chromatography. Glycopeptides from the ConA-bound fraction corresponding to the component PP3 were obtained by Pronase digestion and were separated by gel filtration into high and low-molecular-mass glycopeptides. In a previous work, we have investigated the structure of the N-glycans from the high-molecular-mass glycopeptides [Girardet et al. (1995) Eur J Biochem 234: 939-46]. Here, we describe the structure of the O-glycans from the low-molecular-mass glycopeptides. By combining methylation analysis, mass spectrometry, 400 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and peptide sequence analysis, we show that the low-molecular-mass fraction contains several neutral glycopeptides. A mixture of the following three glycan structures linked to the Thr86 has been identified: GalNac alpha1-O-Thr, Gal(beta1-3)GalNAc alpha1-O-Thr and Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc alpha1-O-Thr.

Abstract
This study deals with the chemical characterization of a capsular polysaccharide (CPS) produced by a thermal biomass formed by the cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus. Acid hydrolysis performed on the purified polysaccharide has led to the isolation of several acid-resistant oligosaccharides. Two of them have already been reported and assigned as: alpha - GlcA - (1 --> 2) - alpha - GalA - (1 --> 2) - Man. and alpha - GlcA - (1 --> 2) - alpha - GalA - (1 --> 2) - beta - Man - (1 --> 4) - beta - Gal(1 --> 2) - Rha. In this report, results on the isolation and partial purification of three supplementary oligosaccharidic units are presented. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy investigations allowed them to be assigned as three aldobiuronic acids with the following structures: alpha - GlcA - (1 --> 3) - Gal alpha - GlcA - (1 --> 3) - Fuc alpha - GalA - (1 --> 3) - Fuc.

Abstract
The development of therapeutic glycoprotein production using the baculovirus expression system depends on the ability of insect cell lines to reproduce site specific mammalian-like N-glycans. A combination of 1H-NMR and mass spectrometry techniques (MALD-MS, ES-MS, and CID-MS-MS) allowed us to elucidate the N-linked oligosaccharides microheterogeneity on three different N-glycosylation sites, Asn233, Asn476, and Asn545, of a baculovirus-expressed recombinant bovine lactoferrin produced in Mamestra brassicae. Two families of N-glycan structures have been found: first, oligomannosidic glycans (Man[9-5]GlcNAc2) and secondly, short truncated partially fucosylated glycans (Man(3-2)[Fuc(0-1)]GlcNAc2). These results indicate that Mamestra brassicae cell line is not able to synthesize complex N-glycans, even if an alpha1,6-linked fucose residue is frequently present on the asparagine-bound N-acetylglucosamine residue of short truncated structures. Nevertheless, we have shown that Mamestra brassicae ensures the same N-glycosylation pattern as found on natural bovine lactoferrin showing the same distribution between complex and high-mannose type glycans on the different glycosylation sites. Sites which are naturally occupied by high-mannose glycans (Asn233 and Asn545) are substituted essentially by the same type of N-glycans in the recombinant counterpart, and the site Asn476,which carries sialylated complex type chains in the natural glycoprotein, is substituted by short, truncated, partially fucosylated chains in Mamestra brassicae-expressed bovine lactoferrin. These various results lead us to the conclusion that bovine lactoferrin is an interesting model to determine the potential of glycosylation of the baculovirus/insect cell expression systems.

Abstract
Mucin glycopeptides were prepared from the respiratory mucus of a non-secretor, chronic bronchitic patient with blood group O, Le(a + b-). Oligosaccharides were released by alkaline borohydride treatment and purified by anion-exchange chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography and high performance anion-exchange chromatography. Structural studies employed 400-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Nine monosulfated oligosaccharides ranging in size from tetra- to hexasaccharide, were fully characterized in this study. The sulfate group occurs either on the C-3 of a terminal galactose residue or on the C-6 of a N-acetylglucosamine residue. In keeping with the non-secretor status of the patient, no structure with an (alpha 1-2)-linked fucose residue was found. Five of the structures had fucose present in (alpha 1-3)-linkage in the X determinant, while only one oligosaccharide (compound 7b) was seen with fucose (alpha 1-4)-linked in the Le(a) determinant. Eight structures isolated from the mucins of the non-secretor patient had not been found previously in the respiratory mucins; they are listed below.

Abstract
The heat-stable acid-soluble phosphoglycoprotein component PP3 was isolated from the bovine milk proteose peptone fraction by concanavalin A affinity chromatography. Glycopeptides were released by pronase digestion of the milk component PP3 and were subsequently separated by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography on CarboPac PA-1. The primary structures of the glycan and peptide moieties of eight N-glycopeptides have been established by combining methylation analysis, mass spectrometry, 400-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and peptide sequence analysis. All the analyzed fractions contained biantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type carbohydrate chains, some of them with a GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc or a NeuAc(alpha 2-6)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc group. This particular sequence did or did not replace the Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc group usually found in most N-linked glycans. Moreover, the sialylated Gal and GalNAc residues were only found on the Man(alpha 1-3) antenna.

These results confirm the species specificity of the glycanic structures present in the secretion of amphibian oviducts, and may form the basis of a specific egg-sperm recognition process.

Abstract
The O-linked acidic oligosaccharides of the jelly coat surrounding the eggs of Ambystoma maculatum were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. The structures of the major oligosaccharides were established as follows where Kdn represents 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulsonic acid and GalNAc-ol is N-acetylgalactosaminitol: [sequence: see text] As shown for five other amphibian species, the structures of these carbohydrate chains appear to be species specific and can afford a basis for molecular taxonomy. These new sequences also reflect the occurrence of specific fucosyltransferase activities that are characteristic of Ambystoma maculatum.

Abstract
A full-length cDNA coding for human lactoferrin was isolated from a mammary gland library and the recombinant protein was expressed in BHK cells as described by Stowell K. M. et al. [1991, Biochem. J. 276, 349-355]. Two N-linked glycans from purified recombinant lactoferrin were released by hydrazinolysis and analyzed by 400-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The identified structures corresponded to N-acetyllactosaminic biantennary glycans and were alpha-2,3-disialylated forms (80%) or alpha-2,3-monosialylated (20%) forms. Moreover, 70% of total glycans were alpha-1,6-fucosylated at the GlcNAc residue linked to asparagine. In regard to its glycan moiety, the recombinant glycoprotein is close to native lactoferrins from milk or leucocytes but shows specific structural features which should be taken into account prior to in vivo and in vitro biological studies.

Abstract
Eleven O-glycosidic carbohydrate units derived from the jelly coat of Ambystoma tigrinum were analyzed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. As previously shown for four other amphibian species, the glycans display a remarkable species specificity. As a characteristic feature, 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid (Kdn) was found difucosylated at C4 and C5, and alpha-Gal attached to C3 of GalNAc-ol. The most representative carbohydrate units are: [formula: see text]

Abstract
The O-linked oligosaccharides of the jelly coat surrounding the eggs of Xenopus laevis were analysed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Among the 12 neutral oligosaccharide-alditols which have been characterized, three of them possess the following unusual structures: [sequence: see text] As previously observed for six other amphibian species, the carbohydrate chains of the jelly coat of Xenopus eggs display a high species specificity which could support a biological role during the fertilization processes.

Abstract
Oligosaccharide-alditols released by reductive beta-elimination from the egg jelly coat of Ambystoma tigrinum were analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. As observed for five other amphibian species, these carbohydrate chains are highly species-specific, and should support the species-specificity of gamete interaction. The carbohydrate chains of Ambystoma tigrinum are characterized by the presence of a new type of sequence: Fuc (alpha 1-5) [(Fuc (alpha 1-4)] Kdn (alpha 2-3/6).

Abstract
Several O-linked oligosaccharides of the jelly coat surrounding the eggs of Axolotl maculatum were analysed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The four major oligosaccharidealditols released by reductive beta-elimination display either the Lewisx (Lex) determinant or the sequence GalNAc(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc. This last structure has previously been characterized in allergenically active oligosaccharides isolated from the sea squirt H-antigen, and in the N-linked glycans of Schistosoma mansoni and human urokinase. It represents the major carbohydrate chain found in A. maculatum, the oviduct of which constitutes an excellent source of beta 1-4-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase activity. Moreover, the carbohydrate chains isolated from A. maculatum are quite different from those found in seven other amphibian species, in which the presence of species-specific material has been characterized. The role of carbohydrates appears more and more apparent during the fertilization process, and the diversity of the O-linked oligosaccharides supports such a biological role.

Abstract
An alternative N-glycosylation pathway using Glc1-3Man5GlcNAc2 as a donor to be transferred to a protein acceptor is found either in Man-P-Dol synthase deficient cells or in wild type CHO cells grown in energy deprivation conditions. Discrimination between oligomannosides of this alternative pathway and oligomannosides of the major one containing the same number of sugar residues Man6-8GlcNAc2 required structural studies. Taking advantage of the specific chromatographic behaviour of glucosylated oligomannosides, in pellicular high pH anion exchange chromatography, we developed a one-step method for the identification of the alternative N-glycosylation pathway compounds differing from those of the major one.

Abstract
In a previous report it was shown that galactosyl transferase activity after blotting from acrylamide gel was present in a molecular weight range of less than 14 kDa, in Triton X-100 (1). Molecular sieve chromatography on Superose 12, in the presence of Triton X-100, gave the same result. The low molecular weight activity peak was eluted together with peptides as a part of the covalent structure of the enzyme or as absolutely requires effectors. Peptide mapping showed a new poly-lysine-like peptide and a new hydrophobic peptide in this low molecular weight activity peak as effectors of the enzyme inside its hydrophobic environment.

Abstract
Two octasaccharides, two dodecasaccharides and a tridecasaccharide have been isolated from human milk by a combination of paper chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography and high-performance anion-exchange chromatography. Their structural analysis investigated by 400-MHz 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and by mass spectrometry led to the following structures. [formula: see text] The two octasaccharides have been previously characterized in human milk; the complete assignment of the 1H and 13C spectra is reported here. One of the dodecasaccharides is a tetrafucosyl derivative with a new core: typeI-(beta 1-3)-typeII-(beta 1-3)-typeII-(beta 1-3)-Gal((beta 1-4)Glc, where typeI = Gal(beta 1-3)GlcNAc and typeII = Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc. These oligosaccharides display simultaneously Lewis(b) and Lewis(x) determinants or Lewis(a), Lewis(b) and Lewis(x) determinants.

Abstract
Galactosyltransferase (GalTase) prepared from human milk was found to exist as a complex with alpha-lactalbumin as demonstrated by crossed immunoelectrophoresis against specific antibodies raised against the complex. GalTase activity was stable to proteolysis and, when subjected to gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA54, the enzyme activity eluted as a single peak. A second peak of activity was found to be adsorbed to the column matrix and was eluted with buffer containing 1 M NaCl. The hydrophobic fraction represented 5% of the total GalTase activity in human milk. After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the main enzyme activity peak was represented by polypeptides of 67 kDa molecular weight and of 14 kDa molecular weight. Electroblotting of these peptides onto a nitrocellulose membrane followed by determination of GalTase activity showed activity for 45-55 kDa and for 14 kDa peptides. The hydrophobic fraction from the AcA54 column was resolved into polypeptides of 110 kDa-45 kDa molecular weight, all of which contained GalTase activity after blotting. It is supposed that the GalTase from non-proteolyzed milk is composed of a 14 kDa polypeptide containing the active site together with another part of the polypeptide backbone which is involved in the regulation of GalTase activity by alpha-lactalbumin, a third part of the polypeptide is responsible for the membrane insertion.
