Abstract A β-(1→ 6)-d-galactosyltransferase has been purified over 2000-fold by affinity chromatography on UDP-p-aminophenyl-Sepharose. The enzyme, from a pellet fraction (8000× g) of Helix pomatia albumen gland, catalyzes transfer of d-galactose from UDP-galactose to a (1→ 6) linkage on acceptor H. pomatia galactogen. Three other polymers served as acceptors: beef lung galactan, Lymnaea stagnalis galactogen and arabinogalactan from larch wood. To determine the linkage specificity of the enzyme, it was incubated with UDP-d-galactose and acceptor galactogen that had been tritiated previously by treatment with galactose oxidase and [3 H] KBH 4. The [3 H] galactogen reaction product was recovered, methylated, hydrolyzed and acetylated; tritiated derivatives were identified by mass spectroscopy of effluent fractions separated by gas chromatography. This analysis revealed that (1→ 6)-linked galactosyl groups had been added to the enzyme-treated acceptor galactogen. Also identified was a hydrolytic enzyme that removed terminal α1, 2-linked l-galactosyl residues from H. pomatia galactogen.
