Abstract
Full characterization of the attached carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins is of high importance for both the rapidly growing biopharmaceutical industry and the biomedical field. In this paper we report the design and production of three important 6HIS-tagged exoglycosidases (neuraminidase, β-galactosidase and hexosaminidase) to support rapid solid phase N-glycan sequencing with high robustness using immobilized enzymes. The exoglycosidases were generated in bacterial expression systems with high yield. Oriented immobilization via the 6HIS-tag portion of the molecules supported easy accessibility to the active sites and consequently high digestion performance. The three exoglycosidases were premixed in an appropriate matrix format and processed in a low-salt buffer to support long term storage. The digestion efficiencies of the immobilized enzymes were demonstrated by using solid phase sequencing in conjunction with capillary electrophoresis analysis of the products on a commercial glycoprotein therapeutic (palivizumab) and human serum derived fluorophore labeled glycans.
