We have employed fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) to screen the N-linked oligosaccharides of Bowes melanoma tissue plasminogen activator (mt-PA), and recombinant t-PAs produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells (rt-PA) and by a gene-enriched melanoma cell line (rmt-PA). These studies have confirmed the published structures for rt-PA, but are not in agreement with some of the structures reported for mt-PA. In the latter glycoprotein we have identified a novel structure as the major oligosaccharide attached to Asn-184 and Asn-448. This is a biantennary oligosaccharide consisting of a fucosylated trimannosyl core to which are attached two GalNAc(1.fwdarw.4)GlcNAc antennae, one of which carries a sialic acid linked at the 6-position of the GalNAc. Minor constituents are sialylated on both or neither antennae. The sialylated GalNAc moiety is unique in N-linked glycoproteins. The majority of complex structures in rmt-PA contain N-acetyllactosamine moieties at both the Asn-184 and Asn-448 with the novel oligosaccharide occurring as a minor component at the Asn-184 site. This study demonstrates the power of mass spectrometric strategies based on high-field two-sector FAB-MS for structure elucidations of natural and recombinant glycoproteins.
