These glycoproteins are involved in the interaction of cell membranes and play important roles in the formation and maintenance of myelin sheaths. These functions are due in part to the oligosaccharides in their molecules. Recently, the structures of the oligosaccharides of bovine peripheral myelin P0 were reported, and some of these carry the HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope (SO4 -3GlcAβ1 -3Galβ1-4GlcNAc). In this paper, we identified a novel multisulfated oligosaccharide, MS2, using one-dimensional 1H-NMR, mass spectrometry, and chemical and enzymatic analyses. MS2, which contains a HNK-1 epitope, was from a single N-glycosylation site of P0 glycoprotein. The structure of the novel oligosaccharide was: Manα1-3Manα1-6[(3SO4)GlcAβ1-3(6SO4)Gal β1 -4(6SO4)GlcNAcβ1 -2Manα1 -3]Manβ1 -4GlcNAcβ1 -4(Fucα1-6)GlcNAc. In addition to the 3-O -sulfate present in the HNK-1 epitope, the oligosaccharide contained a 6-O-sulfated N-acetylglucosamine residue and a 6-O-sulfated galactose residue. This implies that both Gal6- O-sulfotransferase, which has not been reported in the PNS, and GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase are active in the PNS tissues.

We focused SO4GlcNAc-5, respectively. The GlcNAc-1 H-1 proton on a glycopeptide, MS2p, in the most acidic fraction was not expected in this region, because GlcNAc-1 was (Fig. 1). The acidic compound comprised approximately pyridylaminated. The NMR findings are summarized 1 % of the total glycopeptides recovered. The amino acid in Table 1. Comparing the NMR data with those for sequence of MS2p was Gly-Asp-Asn-Gly-Thr, which Q2.10 (SO4 - 3GlcAβ1 - 3Galβ1 - 4(6 - SO4 )GlcNAcβ is consistent with that of the N-glycosylation site of 1 - 2 - Manα1 - 3(Manα1 - 3Manα1-6)Man1- 4GlcNAc bovine P0. Therefore, MS2p was thought to be from P0 β1 - 4(Fucα1-6)GlcNAc -PA) reported by Gallego protein. This was confirmed by mass spectroscopy. et al .
