Abstract
Background:
Peptide: N-glycanase is a deglycosylation enzyme releasing N-glycan from glycoproteins. Although glycan specificity analysis of this enzyme has been reported, recognition requirements for the peptide sequence have not been precisely elucidated.
Objective:
In this study, we carried out peptide specificity analysis of several peptide:N-glycanases.
Methods:
Using synthetic chitobiose-pentapeptide substrates having a systematic series of amino acid sequences composed of hydrophobic leucine and hydrophilic serine, we examined the peptide specificities of peptide: N-glycanases comprising yeast cytoplasmic PNGase, bacterial PNGase F, and plant PNGase A by ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
Results:
We found that each of the PNGases had higher activity for the more hydrophobic (leucinerich) chitobiose-pentapeptides, although the sensitivities of the PNGases for hydrophobicity varied. Cytoplasmic PNGase showed broad specificity. In contrast, PNGase A showed moderate specificity. PNGase F showed the highest specificity.
Conclusion:
PNGases from different origins had similar but significantly independent peptide specificities.
