| Research Abstract |
To cover the deficiency of recombinant proteins produced by the present gene engineering having no carbohydrate chain, methods of the reconstruction of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains and the introduction of the chains into the recombinant protein using the transglycosylation reaction of endo-type glycosidases were investigated, and the following results were obtained.
1. A method of reconstructing GAG chains according to design was established. GAG (hyaluronic acid, chondroitin and chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfate) as donors, and pyridylaminated hexasaccharides prepared from the GAG as acceptors, and testicular hyaluronidase were incubated under optimal conditions (0.15 M Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.0 in the absence of NaCl at 37ﾟC). Systematic combinations of each of the donors and acceptors were used to synthesize natural and unnatural reconstructed GAG chains.
2. Some oligosaccharides effective as carriers to introduce the reconstructed GAG chains into a recombinant protein using endo-beta-xylosidase were discovered. The oligosaccharides were synthesized from xylosyl-(4-methylumbelliferone) as an initiator in culture medium of human skin fibroblasts. The oligosaccharides contained structures sensitive to endo-beta-xylosidase, Gal-Gal-Xyl- ( 4-methylumbelliferone).
