Abstract
Glycosylation can affect the physical and biochemical properties of the polypeptide chain in glycoproteins. Asparagine-N-linked polylactosaminyl glycosylation of the chymotryptic 44-kDa gelatin-binding domain from human placental fibronectin confers protease resistance [Zhu, B. C. R., Fisher, S. F., Panda, H., Calaycay, J., Shively, J. E. & Laine, R. A. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3962-3970] and weaken the binding to gelatin [Zhu, B. C. R. & Laine, R. A. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 4041-4045]. Intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of the gelatin-binding domain was used to probe glycosylation-dependent protein conformation changes. In gelatin-binding fragments containing incrementally smaller polylactosamine oligosaccharides, the fluorescence intensity progressively decreased and the emission spectrum shifted about 7 nm to the blue. Removal of the polylactosamine chains from a highly glycosylated fragment with endo-beta-galactosidase from Escherichia freundii also quenched the protein fluorescence. The fluorescence lifetimes did not appear to be affected by the extent of glycosylation, suggesting static quenching of the tryptophan emission in the low glycosylated fragments. Acrylamide quenching studies showed that the accessibility of...Continue Reading
