    Notes: Abstract The elemental composition and spectroscopic properties of dissolved fulvic acids isolated from different sampling media (topsoil, ground and surface water) of a natural fen area (high portion of organic soils) were examined to reveal the effects of land use history. These effects need to be known if dissolved humic substances are to be a major factor in identifying the impact of present and future changes in land use. Dissolved fulvic acids (topsoil, groundwater) from highly degraded peatlands (due to a long-term agricultural use) exhibit lower C/N ratios, higher absorption in the UV spectra, and higher absorption at 1,620 cm−1 in the FTIR spectra compared with fulvic acids from relatively intact peatlands. These properties illustrate that long-term agricultural use with high inputs results in increased aromatic structures and a further humification of dissolved fulvic acids due to very strong peat decomposition compared with relatively intact peatlands. Synchronous fluorescence spectra also indicate the higher level of aromatic structures within fulvic acids isolated from sites with long-term agricultural use (high peat decomposition) compared with a land use history resulting in a lower peat decomposition. The different sources of fulvic acids in surface water (precipitation, runoff, interflow, groundwater) are the main reason for these effects not being detected in fulvic acids isolated from surface water. Short-term changes in land use characterized by a transition from crop farming to an unimproved grassland were found not to affect the spectroscopic properties of dissolved fulvic acids. A humification index deduced from the synchronous fluorescence spectra is proposed. We have strong evidence that dissolved humic substances indicate changes in the environmental conditions (both anthropogenic and natural) of wetlands with a high proportion of organic soils.

    Notes: Abstract Normal rat kidney cells, non-productively infected with the anaemia-inducing variant of Friend spleen focus-forming virus (F-SFFVA), were metabolically labelled with [2-3H]mannose. The primary translation product of the viral envelope gene (env), representing a glycoprotein with an apparent molecularM r of 55 000 (gp55), was isolated from cell lysates by immunoaffinity chromatography and purified by preparative SDS/PAGE. Radiolabelled oligosaccharides, released from tryptic glycopeptides by treatment with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, were characterized chromatographically, by enzymic digestion and by acetolysis. The results revealed that F-SFFVA gp55 obtained from this source carried predominantly oligomannose type sugar chains with five to nine mannoses. As a characteristic feature, glycans with seven to nine mannoses contained, in part, an additional glucose residue. Although the amount of glucosylated species found was higher in F-SFFVA gp55 (about 25% of total endo-H-sensitive oligosaccharides) than in gp55 of the corresponding polycythaemia-inducing variant (F-SFFVP, 16.3%), the overall glycosylation pattern of the F-SFFVA env product closely resembled that of F-SFFVP gp55 [Strubeet al. (1988)J Biol Chem 263:3762–71]. Hence, our results demonstrate that the different intracellular processing and transport of the primary F-SFFVA env product cannot be attributed to aberrant trimming of its oligomannose type glycans.

    Notes: Abstract Neutral complex-type N-glycans of the envelope glycoprotein 120 of HIV-2, propagated in different host cells, display cell-type specific variations. In order to identify typical structural elements, glycans were analysed by gel filtration, by enzymic sequencing and, in part, by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The characteristic substituents of di- tri- and tetraantennary carbohydrate units thus observed include N-acetyllactosamine repeats, bisecting N-acetylglucosamine and fucose linked to the chitobiose core as well as to N-acetyllactosamine antennae. Each glycoprotein preparation displayed a characteristic set of glycoforms. Abbreviations: endo H, endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H; E-PHA, Phaseolus vulgaris agglutinin E4; GlcNAcOH, N-acetyl-glucosaminitol; gp120/HUT78(MOLT4/Mφ/PBL/U937), external envelope glycoprotein 120 of HIV-2, strain D194, propagated in HUT78 (MOLT4, Mφ, PBL, U937) cells; gu, glucose units; HPAEC, high-pH anion-exchange chromatography; MALDI-TOF-MS, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry; Mφ, human monocytes/macrophages; PBL, human peripheral blood lymphocytes; PNGase F, peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-β-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F

    Notes: Abstract In a previous study, we determined the structures of the glycans present in ancrod, a thrombin-like serine protease from the venom of the Malayan pit viperAgkistrodon rhodostoma (Pfeifferet al. (1992)Eur J Biochem 205:961–78). In order to allocate the various carbohydrate chains to distinctN-glycosylation sites of the molecule, we have now isolated individual glycopeptides. Peptide moieties were identified after deglycosylation with peptide-N 4-(N-acetyl-β-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase F by amino acid analysis and sequencing. Liberated oligosaccharides were assigned to the previously deduced carbohydrate structures by high performance liquid chromatography. Although only quantitative differences were observed, the results indicate that each glycosylation site of ancrod carries its characteristic oligosaccharide pattern. Furthermore, all potential sites were shown to be substituted by carbohydrates.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract The neutral glycosphingolipid fraction from adults of the pig parasitic nematode, Ascaris suum, was resolved into four components on thin-layer chromatography. The high-performance liquid chromatography-isolated components were structurally analysed by: methylation analysis; exoglycosidase cleavage; gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry; liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry; and, in particular, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Their chemical structures were determined as: Glc(β1-1)ceramide, Man(β1-4)Glc(β1-1)ceramide, GlcNAc(β1-3)Man(β1-4)Glc(β1-1)ceramide and Gal(α1-3)GalNAc(β1-4)GlcNAc(β1-3)Man(β1-4)Glc(β1-1)ceramide; and were characterized as belonging to the arthro-series of protostomial glycosphingolipids. No glycosphingolipid component corresponding to ceramide tetrasaccharide was detected during these analyses. The ceramide composition of the parent glycosphingolipids was dominated by the 2-(R)-hydroxy C24:0 fatty acid, cerebronic acid, and C17 sphingoid-bases: 15-methylhexadecasphing-4-enine and 15-methylhexadecaphinganine in approximately equal proportions. The component ceramide monohexoside was characterized by an additional 15-methylhexadecaphytosphingosine. Abbreviations: CDH, ceramide dihexoside; Cer, ceramide; CMH, ceramide monohexoside; CPH, ceramide pentahexoside; CTH, ceramide trihexoside; CTetH, ceramide tetrahexoside; Hex, hexose; HexNAc, N-acetylhexosamine; HPTLC, high-performance thin-layer chromatography; LSIMS, liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry; MALDI-TOF-MS, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry; N-, Nz- and A-glyco(sphingo)lipids, neutral, neutralzwitterionic and acidic glyco(sphingo)lipids, respectively
