Prolyl hydroxylase is a tetrameric glycoprotein that catalyzes a vital posttranslational modification in the biosynthesis of collagen. The enzyme purified from whole chick embryos (WCE) possesses two nonidentical subunits, alpha and beta, and has been shown by several techniques to reside in the endoplasmic reticulum of chick embryo fibroblasts. The studies described here demonstrate that the larger of the two subunits (alpha) exists in two forms in chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF); these two forms differ in carbohydrate content. The larger alpha subunit, alpha', contains two N-linked high mannose oligosaccharides, each containing eight mannose units; the smaller subunit, alpha, contains a single seven-mannose N-linked oligosaccharide. Both oligosaccharides could be cleaved by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and completely digested with alpha-mannosidase to yield mannosyl-N-acetylglucosamine.
