文摘
Gelatinase B is a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9) involved in tissue remodeling, development,cancer, and inflammation. Neutrophils produce three major forms of (pro)gelatinase B: 92 kDa monomers,homodimers, and complexes of gelatinase B covalently bound to neutrophil gelatinase B-associated lipocalin(NGAL). In contrast to the case for other proteinases, little information about the glycosylation of anynatural human MMP is available. Here, both gelatinase B and NGAL were purified from human peripheralblood neutrophils, and the entire contents of the released N- and O-glycan pools were analyzedsimultaneously using recently developed high-performance liquid chromatography-based technology. Theresults are discussed within the context of the domain structure of gelatinase B and a molecular model ofNGAL based on data from this study and the three-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structureof the protein. More than 95% of the N-linked glycans attached to both gelatinase B and NGAL werepartially sialylated, core-fucosylated biantennary structures with and without outer arm fucose. The O-linkedglycans, which were estimated to comprise approximately 85% of the total sugars on gelatinase B, mainlyconsisted of type 2 cores with Galhars/beta2.gif" BORDER=0 ALIGN="middle">1,4GlcNAc (lactosamine) extensions, with or without sialic acid orouter arm fucose. This paper also contains the first report of O-linked glycans attached to NGAL. Althoughboth proteins were isolated from neutrophils and contained O-linked glycans mainly with type 2 cores,the glycans attached to individual serine/threonine residue(s) in NGAL were significantly smaller thanthose on gelatinase B. In contrast to NGAL, gelatinase B contains a region rich in Ser, Thr, and Protypical of O-glycosylated mucin-like domains.
