Pauline Hsiao Yen and Clinton E. Ballou* abstract: The sexual agglutination factor on Hansenula wingei Y-2340 type 5 cells (5-agglutinin) was purified by affinity chromatography and gel filtration after its release from the cell surface by subtilisin digestion. The preparation had a molecular weight of 9.6 X 105, and it was composed of 85% carbohydrate (mostly mannose), 10% protein, and 5% phosphate. The protein part contained 55% serine and 6-8% threonine, and 85% of these two amino acids was destroyed on treatment of 5-agglutinin with 0.1 n NaOH at 23 for 24 hr, conditions that promote ß elimination of substituted serine and threonine units. During this treatment, 90% of the carbohydrate attached to the agglutinin was released as mannooligosaccharides with 1-15 sugar units, the principal fragment being the octasaccharide. Thus, 5-agglutinin is a novel glycoprotein in which 60% of the amino acids are sub-stituted by carbohydrate, a structure very different from that of the total cell wall mannan-protein of H. wingei [P. H. Yen and CE Ballou (1974), Biochemistry 13, 2420] in which most of the carbohydrate is present as long branched poly-saccharide chains attached to asparagine. In spite of these differences, the 5-agglutinin and the whole cell wall mannan gave similar results in their acetolysis patterns, methylation analysis, periodate consumption, and immunological studies, all suggesting that the linkages and configurations in the carbohydrate fragments were very similar. 5-Agglutinin was
