제목 Suppression of β-N-acetylglucosaminidase in N-glycosylation Pathway for Complex Glycoprotein Formation in Drosophila S2 Cells
초록 Most of insect cells have a simple N-glycosylation process and consequently, paucimannosidic or simple core glycans are predominant. Previously, we also revealed that paucimannosidic N-glycan structures are dominant in Drosophila S2 cells. It has been proposed that GlcNAcase, a hexosaminidase that exists in Golgi membrane and cuts off a terminal GlcNAc, might be a factor for simple N-glycosylation in several insects and their derived cells. In the present work, we investigated substantial suppression effects of GlcNAcase on N-glycan patterns in Drosophila S2 cells using two suppression strategies; RNAi that is a mRNA-level method and specific chemical inhibitor, 2-ADN, that is a protein-level method. Compared to the original N-glycan sample from hEPO-secreting stably transfected S2 cells, we found that improved N-glycan structures were clearly shown to have a terminal GlcNAc and/or galactose through HPLC and MALDI-TOF MS analyses. Therefore, we proved that GlcNAcase is a possible major factor for formation of paucimannosidic core N-glycans in Drosophila S2 cells. These data suggest that complex glycoproteins might be possible in the engineered Drosophila S2 cells by suppression of GlcNAcase in N-glycosylation pathway.
