Keratan sulphate was isolated from adult intervertebral disc in 90% yield by sequential digestion of the whole tissue with papain, Pronase and Proteus vulgaris chondroitin sulphate lyase. Treatment of this preparation with alkali cleaved a glycosidic bond between N-acetylgalactosamine and threonine and produced, by an alkali-catalysed ;peeling' reaction, an unsaturated derivative of N-acetylgalactosamine which reacted as a chromogen in the Morgan-Elson reaction, but remained covalently bonded to the keratan sulphate chain. This derivative was reduced and labelled by alkaline NaB(3)H(4). The substituent at position 3 of N-acetylgalactosamine in the keratan sulphate-protein linkage was identified as a disaccharide, N-acetylneuraminylgalactose, which was isolated from the reaction mixture after alkali treatment.
通过用木瓜蛋白酶、链霉蛋白酶和普通变形杆菌硫酸软骨素裂解酶依次消化整个组织,从成人椎间盘中以90%的产率分离出硫酸角质素。用碱处理该制剂会切断N-乙酰半乳糖胺和苏氨酸之间的糖苷键,并通过碱催化的“剥离”反应产生N-乙酰半乳糖胺的不饱和衍生物,该衍生物在摩根-埃尔森反应中作为显色原起反应,但仍与硫酸角质素链共价结合。该衍生物经碱性NaB(3)H(4)还原并标记。硫酸角质素-蛋白质连接中N-乙酰半乳糖胺3位的取代基被鉴定为二糖N-乙酰神经氨酸基半乳糖,它是在碱处理后从反应混合物中分离出来的。
