에리스로포이에틴은 인간 적혈구분화의 조절인자로 작용한다. 유전자 재조합 인간에리스로포이에틴(rhEPO)은 동물세포에서 생산되고 있는 재조합 당단백질의 하나이며 당쇄부분이 전체 분자량의 40％를 차지한다. 시알산 함량은 체내약물 투여 지속기간과 직접적인 연관이 있어 시알산 함량은 의약용 당단백질의 중요한 성질로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 CHO세포 배양액에 시알산 생합성 전구물질인 N-acetylmannosamine(ManNAc)과 sialidase 저해제인 2-deoxy-2,3-hyo-N-acetylneuraminic acid(NeuAc2en)를 첨가하여 rhEPO의 sialic acid함량을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 특히, 배양액에 20 mM ManNAc/0.5 mM NeuAc2en를 첨가할 때 대조구에 비하여 약 10배의 시알산 함량이 증가하였으며 세포성장이나 배양액의 rhEPO생산량에는 영향이 없었다. rhEPO의 정제시 시알산 함량이 11∼15％인 다당쇄 rhEPO분획을 얻었으며, 배양액 내에 20 mM ManNAc와 0.5 mM NeuAc2en를 동시에 첨가함으로 대조구에 비하여 시말산함량이 높은다당쇄 rhEPO의 생산성이 50％ 증가하였다.

A sensitive and quantiative method for the structural analysis of oligosaccharide was established for the glycoform analysis of glconproproteins. Inthis study, n-linked oligosaccharides of human IgG and bovine transferin were analyzed for the evaluation of the methydrate moiety ofthe method. Chrbohydrate moiety of glycoprotein was relased by hydrazinolysis and purified by paper chromatography. The oligosaccharides were labeled with a fluorescent bye, 2-aminobenzamide, for the enhancement of detection sensitivity. sialylated (acidic) oligosaccharides were separated from neutral oligosaccharide by employing a strong anion-exchange column(MonoQ) followed by the treatment with sialidase. Enzymatically desiayated fractions and neutral fractions of oligosaccharides were applied to normal-phase HPLC to resolve the peaks according to glucose unit (GU). The structure of separated molecules was further determined by sequential digestion with exoglycosidases. As a result, disialylated biantennary complextype oligosaccharide was found to be a major sugar chain in bovine transferrin (63%). In human IgG, core fucosylated asialobiantennary complex oligosaccharides were dominant. These results coincided well with reported results.

We here analyzed and proposed the structures of the N-linked sugar chains of PAS-7 from bovine milk fat globule membrane. The N-linked sugar chains were liberated from PAS-7 by hydrazinolysis and, after modifying the reducing ends with 2-aminopyridine (PA), were separated into one neutral (7N,55%) and two acidic (7M mono-, 43%; 7D, di-, 2%) sugar chain roups. The latter were converted into neutral groups (7MN and 7DN) by sialidase digestion. The structure of each of these PA-neutral sugar chains was determined by sugar analysis, sequential exoglycosidase digestion, partial acetolysis, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The results show that the 10 sugar chains were of the biantennary complex type with and without fucose. The structure of 7N2A one of the major sugar chains, was proposed as; [structure: see text] A structural comparison between PAS-6 and -7 indicated that although they shared the same protein core, their sugar moiety was markedly different, involving the existence of a different pathway during the post-transcriptional modification.
