O-Linked fucose has been found attached to Thr/Ser residues within the sequence Cys-X-X-Gly-Gly-Thr/Ser-Cys in the N-terminal EGF domains of several coagulation/fibrinolytic proteins. Carbohydrate composition and mass spectrometric analyses of tryptic and thermolytic peptides containing the corresponding site (Ser-61) in the first EGF domain of human factor IX indicated the presence of a tetrasaccharide containing one residue each of sialic acid, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and fucose. The Ser-61 tetrasaccharide was not susceptible to alpha-fucosidase digestion. Fragments generated during mass spectrometric analysis indicated that fucose was the attachment sugar residue. The involvement of fucose in the carbohydrate-peptide linkage was confirmed by two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the glycopeptide containing factor IX residues 57-65. The complete structure of the tetrasaccharide was obtained by methylation analysis and two-dimensional 1H TOCSY and ROESY experiments as NeuAc alpha(2-->6)Gal beta(1-->4)GlcNAc beta(1-->3)Fuc alpha 1-->O-Ser61.
在几种凝血/纤维蛋白溶解蛋白的N端表皮生长因子(EGF)结构域中,已发现O-连接的岩藻糖连接在序列Cys-X-X-Gly-Gly-Thr/Ser-Cys中的Thr/Ser残基上。对人因子IX第一个EGF结构域中含有相应位点(Ser-61)的胰蛋白酶和热解肽进行碳水化合物组成和质谱分析,结果表明存在一种四糖,其分别含有一个唾液酸、半乳糖、N-乙酰葡糖胺和岩藻糖残基。Ser-61四糖不易被α-岩藻糖苷酶消化。质谱分析过程中产生的片段表明岩藻糖是连接糖残基。通过对含有因子IX残基57-65的糖肽进行二维1H NMR光谱分析,证实了岩藻糖参与了碳水化合物-肽键的形成。通过甲基化分析以及二维1H TOCSY和ROESY实验确定了该四糖的完整结构为NeuAcα(2→6)Galβ(1→4)GlcNAcβ(1→3)Fucα1→O-Ser61。
