A UDP-GlcNAc:R1-.beta.1-3Gal(NAc)-R2 [GlcNAc to Gal(NAc)] .beta.6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity from pig pastric mucose microsomes catalyzes the formation of GlcNAc.beta.1-3(GlcNAc.beta.1-6)Gal-R from GlcNAc.beta.1-3Gal-R where -R is -.beta.1-3GalNAc-.alpha.-benzyl or -.beta.1-3(GlcNAc.beta.1-6)GalNAc-.alpha.-benzyl. This enzyme is therefore involved in the synthesis of the I antigenic determinant in mucin-type oligosaccharides. The enzyme also converts Gal.beta.1-3Gal.beta.1-4Glc to Gal.beta.1-3(GlcNAc.beta.1-6)Gal.beta.1-4Glc. The enzyme was stimulated by Triton X-100 at concentrations between 0 and 0.2% and was inhibited by Triton X-100 at 0.5%. There is no requirement for Mn2+ and the enzyme activity is reduced to 65% in the presence of 10 mM EDTA. Enzyme products were purified and identified by proton NMR, methylation analysis and .beta.-galactosidase digestion. Competition studies suggest that this pig gastric mucosal .beta.6-GlcNAc-transferase activity is due to the same enzyme that converts Gal.beta.1-3GalNAc-R to mucin core 2, Gal.beta.1-3(GlcNAc.beta.1-6)GalNAc-R, and GlcNAc.beta.1-3GalNAc-R to mucin core 4, GlcNAc.beta.1-3(GlcNAc.beta.1-6)GalNAc-R. Substrate specificity studies indicate that the enzyme attaches GlcNAc to either Gal or GalNAc in .beta.(1-6) linkage, provided these residues are substituted in .beta.(1-3) linkage by either GlcNAc or Gal. The insertion of a GlcNAc.beta.1-3 residue into Gal.beta.1-3GalNAc-R to form GlcNAc.beta.1-3Gal.beta.1-3GalNAc-R prevents insertion of GlcNAc into GalNAc. These studies establish several novel pathways in mucin-type oligosaccharide biosynthesis.
