Expression of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H in Pichia pastoris and its applica-tion to N-glycosylation analysis / 军事医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To prepare endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo-H) expressed in Pichia pastoris, and apply it to N-glycosylation analysis .Methods One complete gene was synthesized on the basis of the cDNA sequence encoding Streptomyces plicatus reported in GenBank .The gene was cloned into the expression vector pPIC 9.The expression vector pPIC9-Endo-H was transformed into P.pastoris(JC308).The expression products were induced by methanol , puri-fied by two-step chromatography , used to analyze the glycan structures of RNaseB by the DNA sequencer assisted fluoro-phore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (DSA-FACE)methods, and finally compared with peptide-N-asparagine amidase F(PNGase F).Results This enzyme expressed in P.pastoris(JC308) had the ability to hydrolyze natural or denatured high-mannose type of oligosaccharide linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds , but not complex-type oligosaccharide .The result of DSA-FACE showed that carbohydrate chains of Man 5 GlcNAc-Man9 GlcNAc could be obtained when RNaseB was hydrolyzed by Endo-H, and that Man5 GlcNAc2-Man9 GlcNAc2 chains became available when RNaseB was hydrolyzed by PNGase F . Conclusion Endo-H expressed in P.pastoris has bioactivity which can be used to analyze N-glycosylation with the method of DSA-FACE.
