ABSTRACT
The production of recombinant leech-derived tryptase inhibitor (rLDTI) by two different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in the secretion of non-glycosylated and glycosylated rLTDI. Monosaccharide analysis and a-mannosidase treatment demonstrated that glycosylated rLDTI was exclusively alpha-mannosylated. A trypsin digest of reduced and S-carboxymethylated glycosylated rLDTI was separated on a reverse-phase HPLC column. Glycopeptides identified by a combination of matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry, amino acid sequence analysis, and monosaccharide analysis revealed the presence of different glycoforms. It was found that Ser24, Ser33 and Ser36 were partially glycosylated with a single mannose residue, whereas Thr42 in glycosylated rLDTI from both strains was fully occupied with manno-oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization ranging over 1-3 and 1-13 depending on the yeast strain. In phosphorylated rLDTI a single phosphate group was predominantly located at the innermost Man residue of units of mannobiose, mannotriose, mannotetraose and mannopentaose at Thr42. Oligosaccharides released by alkaline treatment were reduced by sodium borohydride and separated by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography on a CarboPac MA1 column, and analyzed by one- and two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Besides the major oligosaccharide Man alpha1-2Man-ol, the (for yeast protein O-glycosylation) unusual Man alpha1-3Man alpha1-2Man-ol was determined. The solution conformation of glycosylated rLDTI was investigated by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Structure calculations by means of distance geometry showed that glycosylated rLDTI is compactly folded and contained small secondary structure elements. Analysis of the chemical shifts showed that amino acids Val32-Ser33, Ser36-Ser39 and Thr42 were affected by the O-mannosylation. In addition, changes in chemical shift were observed within the beta-hairpin peptide regions Val13-Ser16 and Gly18-Tyr21 attributed to direct interactions of the mannose residue at Ser36. Furthermore, the protein-linked oligosaccharides were spatially grouped in a position opposite of the canonical binding loop.
