We previously demonstrated that high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/MS) equipped with a graphitized carbon column (GCC) is useful for the structural analysis of carbohydrates in glycoproteins. Using LC/MS with GCC, sulfated N-linked oligosaccharides were found in erythropoietin (EPO) expressed in baby hamster kidney cells. Sulfation occurs in a part of the N-linked oligosaccharides in the EPO. Sulfated monosaccharide residue in the sulfated N-linked oligosaccharide was determined by exoglycosidase digestion followed by sugar mapping by LC/MS. The linkage position and branch-location of the sulfate group in the tetraantennary oligosaccharide were analyzed by (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance. It was suggested that sulfation occurs on the C-6 position of GlcNAc located in the GlcNAcbeta1-4Manalpha1-3 branch.
我们之前证明,配备石墨化碳柱(GCC)的高效液相色谱-电喷雾电离质谱联用仪(LC/MS)可用于糖蛋白中碳水化合物的结构分析。使用配备GCC的LC/MS,在幼仓鼠肾细胞表达的促红细胞生成素(EPO)中发现了硫酸化的N-连接寡糖。硫酸化发生在EPO中一部分N-连接寡糖上。通过外切糖苷酶消化,然后用LC/MS进行糖图谱分析,确定了硫酸化N-连接寡糖中的硫酸化单糖残基。通过¹H-核磁共振分析了四天线寡糖中硫酸基团的连接位置和分支位置。结果表明,硫酸化发生在位于GlcNAcbeta1-4Manalpha1-3分支中的GlcNAc的C-6位上。
