A low-molecular-weight acceptor of galactosyltransferase activity was detected in sera and effusions of patients with extensive maligant disease. This substance was purified to homogeneity from both human serum and effusion by using sequential charcoal/Celite and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The purified acceptor was shown to act as substrate for both purified normal and cancer-associated human galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.22) isoenzymes, but had a higher affinity for the cancer-associated isoenzyme (Km = 20 microM) than for the normal isoenzyme (Km = 500 microM). The substrate was found to be a glycopeptide with mol.wt. approx. 3600 determined by polyacrylamide-gel chromatography. Carbohyydate analysis demonstrated only the presence of glucosamine and mannose. Amino acid analysis revealed that the peptide moiety consisted of eight different amino acids, including two residues of asparagine and one residue of serine, but no threonine. These structural data suggest that the acceptor is a fraction of an asparagine-glucosamine type of glycoprotein.

Chick Embryo Extract

Prolyl 3-hydroxylase was purified up to about 5000-fold from an (NH4)2SO4 fraction of chick-embryo extract by a procedure consisting of affinity chromatography on denatured collagen linked to agarose, elution with ethylene glycol and gel filtration. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme is about 160000 by gel filtration The enzyme is probably a glycoprotein, since (a) its activity is inhibited by concanavalin A, and (b) the enzyme is bound to columns of this lectin coupled to agarose and can be eluted with a buffer containing methyl alpha-D-mannoside. The Km values for Fe2+, 2-oxoglutarate, O2 and ascorbate in the prolyl 3-hydroxylase reaction were found to be very similar to those previously reported for these co-substrates in the prolyl 4-hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase reactions.
