Endo-.beta.-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo H) is an enzyme which acts on asparagine- and lipid-linked oligosaccharides containing 5 or more mannose residues. Complex oligosaccharides and glycopeptides are completely resistant to the action of the enzyme. Pulse-chase experiments with 35S-methionine and 3H-mannose in uninfected cells [chicken embryo fibroblasts] and in cells infected with Sindbis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). In each case, the labeled materials were analyzed for sensitivity to endo H by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration. Endo H releases all the labeled mannose from pulse-labeled proteins. Initially, the released material is nearly identical in size to the endo H cleavage product derived from lipid-linked oligosaccharides present in the same cells. During chase periods, 35S-methionine and 3H-mannose protein becomes increasingly resistant to the enzyme. The 3H-mannose-labeled material released from the protein during chase periods is smaller in size than the oligosaccharide from the lipid. During glycosylation of asparagine residues, a common oligosaccharide is probably transferred from the lipid carrier to protein and is subsequently processed to yield the so-called high mannose and complex oligosaccharides. Based on present evidence, the lipid-linked oligosaccharide contains 2 N-acetylglucosamine, 8-12 mannose and 1-2 glucose molecules, it seems probable that the carbohydrate-processing systems remove half or more of the mannose and all of the glucose residues at sites destined to become complex glycopeptides. Removal of mannose and glucose residues may also occur at sites destined to become mature high mannose glycopeptides.
