Resumo
The carbohydrate moieties of two anionic peroxidases, termed A1 and A2, and one cationic peroxidase, named C3, from Korean radish (Raphanus sativus) were studied. For profiling of N-glycans, each peroxidase was treated with peptidyl N-glycosidase F and hydrazine. These peroxidases were more susceptible to hydrazine than to peptidyl N-glycosidase F. When these three peroxidases were subjected to trifluoroacetic acid treatment, mannose, fucose and N-acetylglucosamine were released. Two major N-glycans of peroxidase C3 were isolated and treated with several glycohydrolases. Analysis of digested products of the two major N-glycans on polyacrylamide gel suggested that core-fucosylated trimannosylchitobiose may contain a different linkage from the typical alpha-1,6 of native N-linked oligosaccharide.
