Microscale Measurements of Michaelis-Menten Constants of Neuraminidase with Nanogel Capillary Electrophoresis for the Determination of the Sialic Acid Linkage.

ABSTRACT: Phospholipid nanogels enhance the stability and performance of the exoglycosidase enzyme neuraminidase and are used to create a fixed zone of enzyme within a capillary. With nanogels, there is no need to covalently immobilize the enzyme, as it is physically constrained. This enables rapid quantification of Michaelis-Menten constants (K_M) for different substrates and ultimately provides a means to quantify the linkage (i.e., 2-3 versus 2-6) of sialic acids. The fixed zone of enzyme is inexpensive and easily positioned in the capillary to support electrophoresis mediated microanalysis using neuraminidase to analyze sialic acid linkages. To circumvent the limitations of diffusion during static incubation, the incubation period is reproducibly achieved by varying the number of forward and reverse passes the substrate makes through the stationary fixed zone using in-capillary electrophoretic mixing. A K_M value of 3.3 ± 0.8 mM (V_max, 2100 ± 200 ?M/min) was obtained for 3'-sialyllactose labeled with 2-aminobenzoic acid using neuraminidase from Clostridium perfringens that cleaves sialic acid monomers with an ?2-3,6,8,9 linkage, which is similar to values reported in the literature that required benchtop analyses. The enzyme cleaves the 2-3 linkage faster than the 2-6, and a K_M of 2 ± 1 mM (V_max, 400 ± 100 ?M/min) was obtained for the 6'-sialyllactose substrate. An alternative neuraminidase selective for 2-3 sialic acid linkages generated a K_M value of 3 ± 2 mM (V_max, 900 ± 300 ?M/min) for 3'-sialyllactose. With a knowledge of V_max, the method was applied to a mixture of 2-3 and 2-6 sialyllactose as well as 2-3 and 2-6 sialylated triantennary glycan. Nanogel electrophoresis is an inexpensive, rapid, and simple alternative to current technologies used to distinguish the composition of 3' and 6' sialic acid linkages.

Project description:Glycosylated human IgG contains fucosylated biantennary N-glycans with different modifications including N-acetylglucosamine, which bisects the mannose core. Although only a limited number of IgG N-glycan structures are possible, human IgG N-glycans are predominantly biantennary and fucosylated and contain varying levels of ?2-6-linked sialic acid, galactose, and bisected N-acetylglucosamine. Monitoring the relative abundance of bisecting N-acetylglucosamine is relevant to physiological processes. A rapid, inexpensive, and automated method is used to successfully profile N-linked IgG glycans and is suitable to distinguish differences in bisection, galactosylation, and sialylation in N-glycans derived from different sources of human IgG. The separation is facilitated with self-assembled nanogels that also contain a single stationary zone of lectin. When the lectin specificity matches the N-glycan, the peak disappears from the electropherogram, identifying the N-glycan structure. The nanogel electrophoresis generates separation efficiencies of 500?000 plates and resolves the positional isomers of monogalactosylated biantennary N-glycan and the monogalactosylated bisected N-glycan. Aleuria aurantia lectin, Erythrina cristagalli lectin (ECL), Sambucus nigra lectin, and Phaseolus vulgaris Erythroagglutinin (PHA-E) are used to identify fucose, galactose, ?2-6-linked sialic acid, and bisected N-acetylglucosamine, respectively. Although PHA-E lectin has a strong binding affinity for bisected N-glycans that also contain a terminal galactose on the ?1-6-linked mannose branch, this lectin has lower affinity for N-glycans containing terminal galactose and for agalactosylated bisected biantennary N-glycans. The lower affinity to these motifs is observed in the electropherograms as a change in peak width, which when used in conjunction with the results from the ECL lectin authenticates the composition of the agalactosylated bisected biantennary N-glycan. For runs performed at 17 °C, the precision in migration time and peak area was less than or equal to 0.08 and 4% relative standard deviation, respectively. The method is compatible with electrokinetic and hydrodynamic injections, with detection limits of 70 and 300 pM, respectively.
