O-Glycosidase
NEBU cloned at NEB recombinant 37 65 Heat

Product Introduction

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

  • Can be used in conjunction with other exoglycosidases to remove more complex O-glycans
  • Recombinant enzyme with no detectable exoglycosidase or other endoglycosidase 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

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit 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 (2) 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).

1X Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer
0.5% SDS
40 mM DTT

1X NP-40
1% NP-40 in MilliQ-H2O

Reaction Conditions

Incubate at 37°C

1X GlycoBuffer 2
50 mM Sodium Phosphate
(pH 7.5 @ 25°C)

Storage Buffer

20 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
1 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Heat Inactivation

Unit Assay Conditions

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 mix is then incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. O-linked disaccharide carbohydrates are determined by the Morgan and Elson Assay (1).

Application Features

  • Removal of Core 1 and Core 3 O-linked disaccharide glycans from glycoproteins

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.
  3. It is necessary to treat glycoproteins concomitantly with Neuraminidase and O-Glycosidase. Neuraminic Acid residues must be removed in order to allow O-Glycosidase to cleave the O-linked disaccharides. A general Neuraminidase (#P0720) or the O-Glycosidase and Neuraminidase bundle (#E0540S)  is recommended.
  4. Under denaturing conditions the enzyme activity is increased two-fold. This observation is substrate dependent.

Tech Tips

Don’t forget to include Neuraminidase (P0720) in your reaction! It is necessary to treat glycoproteins concomitantly with Neuraminidase and O-Glycosidase. Neuraminic Acid residues must be removed in order to allow O-Glycosidase to cleave the O-linked disaccharides.

NEB’s O-Glycosidase is the only available O-Glycosidase that catalyzes the removal of Core 1 and Core 3 O-linked disaccharides from glycoproteins

You can use this enzyme under native or denaturing conditions

Under native conditions we recommend adding more enzyme and using longer incubation times

Under denaturing conditions the enzyme activity is increased two-fold. However, this observation may be substrate dependent.
