Roles of Glycoprotein-associated Carbohydrates
Quality Control/folding.
(deglucosylation/reglucosylation)
Solubility.
Circulating half-life.
(LH, FSH, vWF, ASGPR)
Cell-cell interactions.
(lymphocyte homing)
Pharmaceutical Concerns Regarding Carbohydrates
Pharmacokinetics: Influence on receptor binding.
Pharmacodynamics: Distribution. Clearance.
Define product as “well-characterized”.
Lot-to-lot variability.
Definition of intellectual property.
Branched. Synthesis is not “template driven”. Alternative linkage positions are possible. Alternative anomeric configurations are possible. Cell-type specific glycosylation. Influence of environmental conditions.
[Glucose] [NH3] pH
Site-specific glycosylation. Microheterogeneity.

Analysis of Glycans Still Bound to Proteins
Is the protein of interest glycosylated?
Fluorescent detection of sialic acids (<1pMole).
Monosaccharide composition analysis.
If so, are there N-glycans or O-glycans or both?
Mannose vs. Galactosamine (GalNAc)
What is the contribution to molecular weight?
Monosaccharide composition on a per mg basis.
Compare monosaccharide to amino acid composition.
Sialic Acid Determination
Diverse family of molecules.
Humans make antibodies against animal proteins withNeuGc.
Sialylation depends on culture conditions.
Incomplete sialylation associated with increased clearance.
When sample limited:
Is my protein glycosylated?
Is there enough material for monosaccharide analysis?
When sample not limited:
Batch-to-batch variability for recombinant proteins.
Extent of deglycosylation for crystallogrphic analysis.
Assess diversity of sialic acids present.
Sialic Acid Determination
Release with mild acid (2 m HOAc, 80oC, 3 hrs.).
“specific” for sialic acid release
doesn’t remove modifications from NeuAc
Anaylze by HPAEC-PAD
sensitivity of ~200 pMoles
Analyze by RP- HPLC after fluorescent derivatization.

Data Predicted Structures
No N-Glycans.
On average, only one O-glycan per protein molecule.
No NeuGc, as expected.

Release of Glycans for Further AnalysisRelease of N-glycans:
PNGase F. Broad spectrum for release of N-glycans
blocked by core 1,3 Fuc or bisecting Xyl
PNGase A. core 1,3 Fuc or bisecting Xyl okay
Prefers smaller, neutral glycans
Endo H. Only if ManII has not yet acted
HydrazineRelease of O-glycans:
Alkaline induced -elimination. Can’t fluorescently tag
O-glycanase. Only Gal1,3GalNAc
HydrazineRelease of glycolipid glycans:
Endoglycoceramidase
Glycan Profiling
Need to consider separation with detection

Size
Heterogeneity
Comparative differences between samples
Profiling Glycans by HPAEC-PADDisadvantages:
Retention time only.Introduces salt.
Sialic acid modifications.
Advantages: Fast.
