Abstract

Newcastle disease virus sialidase was found to exhibit strict specificity for hydrolysis of the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal linkage contained in glycoprotein oligosaccharides both N-linked to asparagine and O-linked to threonine or serine under conditions that left oligosaccharides containing the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 2 leads to 6Gal and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6GallNAc linkages intact. This was determined, in part, by examining the viral sialidase for its ability to hydrolyze glycoprotein oligosaccharides derivatized with purified sialyltransferases to contain the [14C]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal, [14C]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6GalNAc, and [14C]NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal linkages. The viral sialidase was also tested for hydrolysis of the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal linkages on the N-linked oligosaccharides of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. Selective hydrolysis of the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal linkage was shown by periodate oxidation and by 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy of native and sialidase-treated glycopeptides. The NMR spectra, together with composition data, further indicated that the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal and NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal linkages were localized to specific branches of the major tri- and tetraantennary oligosaccharides of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. The results indicate that the Newcastle disease virus sialidase can initiate the selective degradation of N-linked oligosaccharide branches containing the NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal linkage.
