The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of human C3 were characterized. The C3 oligosaccharides were released by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and were analysed by lectin affinity chromatography and h.p.l.c. The released oligosaccharides bound tightly to concanavalin A-Sepharose and were not retained by agarose-bound wheat-germ agglutinin, indicating that they were only of high-mannose type. Two major oligosaccharide structures were separated from both the alpha- and beta-chains of C3 by h.p.l.c. on Micropak AX-5, calibrated with high-mannose-type oligosaccharides of known structures. The oligosaccharide structures on the alpha-chain have the compositions (Man)9(GlcNAc)2-Asn and (Man)8 (GlcNAc)2-Asn, and those on the beta-chain have the compositions (Man)6(GlcNAc)2-Asn and (Man)5(GlcNAc)2-Asn.
对人补体C3的天冬酰胺连接的寡糖进行了表征。补体C3寡糖经内切β-N-乙酰葡糖胺糖苷酶H释放后,通过凝集素亲和色谱法和高效液相色谱法进行分析。释放出的寡糖与伴刀豆球蛋白A-琼脂糖紧密结合,而不被琼脂糖结合的麦胚凝集素保留,这表明它们仅为高甘露糖型。通过在Micropak AX-5上进行高效液相色谱法,用已知结构的高甘露糖型寡糖进行校准,从补体C3的α链和β链中分离出两种主要的寡糖结构。α链上的寡糖结构组成为(甘露糖)9(N-乙酰葡糖胺)2-天冬酰胺和(甘露糖)8(N-乙酰葡糖胺)2-天冬酰胺,β链上的寡糖结构组成为(甘露糖)6(N-乙酰葡糖胺)2-天冬酰胺和(甘露糖)5(N-乙酰葡糖胺)2-天冬酰胺。
