The solution structure of native and systematically modified ovine submaxillary mucin (OSM) has been probed by proton NMR spectroscopic methods. Most of the resonances in the spectra have been tentatively assigned to the peptide and O-linked disaccharide, α-N-acetylneuraminic acid 2 → 6 α-N-acetylgalactosamine protons. On the basis of the observed chemical shifts, spectral resolution, and behavior of the exchangeable protons it is concluded the mucin possesses internal segmental flexibility and exists in solution as a random coil peptide. No long-lived interresidue peptide or carbohydrate hydrogen bonds were detected. The removal of (i) the C8 and C9 carbons of the sialic acid residue, (ii) the entire sialic acid residue, and (iii) the complete disaccharide side chain resulted in no significant changes in peptide core conformation. A limited set of proton spin coupling constants and nuclear Overhauser enhancements has been obtained for the threonine glycopeptide side chains in native and modified mucin. The results are consistent with the previously reported conformations for the (1 → 6) linkage in oligosaccharides and the threonyl glycosidic linkage in glycopeptides. The OSM disaccharide may exist as a extended linear structure with rotational freedom about the GalNAc C5C6 bond, while the threonine glycosidic linkage appears to be sterically constrained, although multiple conformations about the threonine CβOγbond may be allowed. The small chemical shift perturbations detected in the glycosylated threonine methyl protons and the GalNAc carbons upon removal of the terminal sialic acid residue are consistent with this model.
