For the purification of a new type of endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase from the culture medium of Streptomyces sp. OH-11242 (endo-GalNAc-ase-S) [Iwase, Ishii, Ishihara, Tanaka, Omura & Hotta (1988) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 151, 422-428], a method for assaying enzyme activity was established. Using purified pig gastric mucus glycoprotein (PGM) as the substrate, oligosaccharides liberated from PGM were pyridylaminated, and the reducing terminal sugars of oligosaccharides larger than Galbeta1-3GalNAc were analysed by h.p.l.c. The crude enzyme of endo-GalNAc-ase-S was prepared as an 80 % (w/v) ammonium sulphate precipitate from the concentrated culture medium. The enzyme was partially purified by gel chromatofocusing and subsequent DEAE-Toyopearl chromatography. Endo-enzyme activity eluted around pl 4.8 on a gel chromatofocusing column and eluted with 0.19-0.25 m-NaCl on a DEAE-Toyopearl column. In the enzyme fraction obtained, no exo-glycosidases or proteases could be detected. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated as 105 kDa by gel filtration, and the optimum pH was 5.5. Endo-GalNAc-ase-S hydrolysed the O-glycosidic linkage between GalNAc and Ser (Thr) in H-3-labelled and unlabelled asialofetuin, liberating both the disaccharide (Galbeta1-3GalNAc) and the tetrasaccharide [Galbeta1-3(Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-6)GalNAc]. When endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase from Alcaligenes sp. (endo-GalNac-ase-A) was incubated with H-3-labelled and unlabelled asialofetuin, only the disaccharide (Galbeta1-3GalNAc) was liberated.
