O-Glycosidase & α2-3,6,8 Neuraminidase Bundle
NEBU cloned at NEB recombinant 37

Product Introduction

This bundle contains 1 vial each of O-Glycosidase (NEB #P0733S) and a2-3,6,8 Neuraminidase (NEB #P0720S), which can be used simultaneously for the removal of terminal sialic acid residues and core 1 and core 3 O-glycans.

  • Recombinant enzymes with no detectable endoglycosidase or other exoglycosidase contaminating activities
  • Glycerol-free for optimal performance in HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis
  • ≥95% purity, as determined by SDS-PAGE and intact ESI-MS
  • Optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months

Catalog # Size Concentration
E0540S

Product Information

Description

1 set of this bundle includes 2,000,000 units of O-Glycosidase and 2,000 units of Neuraminidase.

O-Glycosidase, also known as Endo-α-N-Acetylgalactosaminidase, catalyzes the removal of Core 1 and Core 3 O-linked disaccharides from glycoproteins. 

Neuraminidase is the common name for Acetyl-neuraminyl hydrolase (Sialidase). This Neuraminidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of α2-3, α2-6, and α2-8 linked N-acetyl-neuraminic acid residues from glycoproteins and oligosaccharides. 




Product Source

O-Glycosidase is cloned from Enterococcus faecalis and expressed in E.coli (1). Neuraminidase is cloned from Clostridium perfringens (2) and overexpressed in E. coli (3).

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit of O-Glycosidase is defined as the amount of enzyme required to remove 0.68 nmol of O-linked disaccharide from 5 mg of Neuraminidase digested, non-denatured fetuin in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 100 µl (1 unit of both O-Glycosidase and PNGase F will remove equivalent molar amounts of O-linked disaccharides and N-linked oligosaccharides, respectively).

Non-denaturing Unit Definition of O-Glycosidase:
Two fold serial dilutions of O-Glycosidase are added to a reaction mixture of 5 mg of Neuraminidase digested fetuin with 1X GlycoBuffer 2. The reaction is then incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. O-linked disaccharide carbohydrates are determined by Morgan and Elson Assay (4). Note: Under denaturing conditions the enzyme activity is increased two-fold. This observation is substrate dependent.

Unit Definition of Neuraminidase:
One unit of Neuraminidase is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave > 95% of the terminal α-Neu5Ac from 1 nmol Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-4Glc-7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (AMC), in 5 minutes at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 µl.

Product Notes

  1. Since O-Glycosidase is inhibited by SDS, it is essential to have NP-40 in the reaction mixture. It is not known why this non-ionic detergent counteracts the SDS inhibition at the present time. Double digest with Endo H must have NP-40 present (NP-40 does not inhibit Endo H).
  2. To deglycosylate a native glycoprotein, longer incubation time as well as more enzyme may be required.

FAQs

  1. What are the typical reaction conditions for O-Glycosidase?
  2. Is it necessary to treat my glycoprotein concomitantly with Neuraminidase and O-Glycosidase?
  3. What is the difference between PNGase F, Endo H and O-Glycosidase?
  4. How much O-Glycosidase should I use to remove my carbohydrate under native conditions?
  5. How do I inhibit O-Glycosidase?
  6. What is a good positive control for O-Glycosidase?
  7. Why have the NEB Glycosidase enzymes changed reaction buffers? What are the new reaction buffers and can I still use an enzyme with its old buffer? Where can I find the composition of the old buffers?
  8. Do detergents inhibit O-Glycosidase?
  9. I tried using O-Glycosidase on my glycoprotein and didn't see removal of the carbohydrate. What could be the problem?
