Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have used progressive chondroitinase digestion of pig aggrecan in conjunction with ELISA assays and disaccharide analysis to derive information about the pattern of 4- and 6-sulphation in chondroitin sulphate chains. Digestion with chondroitinase ABC resulted in the release of mainly disaccharides from the nonreducing terminal of chondroitin sulphate chains but there was also the release of some tetra- and hexa-saccharides which were degraded to disaccharides with more extensive digestion. Chondroitinase ACII, in contrast, released only disaccharides. Analysis of the disaccharide composition of the intact and digested products at different stages of digestion showed that there was a slight increase in 6-sulphate content of the chains as they were shortened. Reaction of the partially digested proteoglycans with monoclonal antibodies 3-B-3 and 3-D-5 which recognise chains terminating in 6- or 4-sulphated disaccharides, respectively, showed major differences between chondroitinase ABC and ACII products. The results suggested that chondroitinase ABC preferentially cleaved next to 4-sulphated, rather than 6-sulphated disaccharides and this resulted in some oligosaccharides as well as disaccharide being released. Chondroitinase ACII also cleaved an additional disaccharide next to the linkage to protein of chondroitin sulphate, which was not removed by chondroitinase ABC and this disaccharide was mainly nonsulphated.
