A pyridylamination method was applied to glycosaminoglycans and the characteristics of the resulting pyridylamino glycosaminoglycans were examined. First, glycosaminoglycan chains, which uniformly posses a xylose residue at their reducing termini, were liberated from proteoglycan by successive digestion with protease and endo-beta-xylosidase. Then the glycosaminoglycan chains were coupled with 2-aminopyridine by reductive amination with sodium cyanoborohydride for 15 h according to the method of Hase, S. et al. [J. Biochem. 95, 197-203 (1984)]. The pyridylamination reaction caused neither depolymerization, de-N-acetylation, nor de-N-or de-O-sulfation. The pyridylamino glycosaminoglycan chains had an intact linkage region (GlcA-Gal-Gal-Xyl) between the carbohydrate chain and the peptide core of the proteoglycan. These pyridylamino glycosaminoglycans should be useful as substrates for endo-type glycosidases that act on glycosaminoglycan chains and as markers for studies of glycosaminoglycan metabolism.
