Endoglycosidases cleave at defined sites within an oligosaccharide chain of glycoproteins/glycolipids. They are the most easy-to-use enzymes for elucidating the function and structure of oligosaccharides, because they can separate both intact oligosaccharide chains and proteins/lipids from glycoconjugates under mild conditions without causing damage.
Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.96) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N, N’-diacetylchitobiose moiety in the core region of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of various glycoproteins. The enzyme has a characteristic to remain one N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue on the protein. On the other hand, the deglycosylation method using PNGase F cannot remove oligosaccharides unless the protein is denatured. Thus, only endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases can be used for deglycosylation of native glycoproteins.
Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase M (Endoglycosidase M or Endo-M) has broad substrate specificity for various N-linked oligosaccharides, and can cleave high-mannose type, hybrid- type and bi-antennary complex-type oligosaccharides (Fig.1)1) 2) 3). This enzyme can release the bi-antennary complex-type oligosaccharides from native glycoproteins like human asialotransferrin and sialotransferrin without the addition of a detergent2). This enzyme has exceptionally high transglycosylation activity and can transfer the oligosaccharides of glycopeptides to GlcNAc or the compound having GlcNAc moiety1). Therefore, Endo-M is usually used as a tool for the addition of oligosaccharides to proteins/peptides rather than for the digestion of glycoproteins/glycopeptides. |
