Ehrlich ascites tumor cells and ascitic fluid were assayed for glycosidase activity. .alpha.-Galactosidase, and .beta.-galactosidase, .alpha.- and .beta.-mannosidase, .alpha.-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, and .beta.-N-acetylglucosaminidase activities were detected using p-nitrophenyl glycosides as substrates. .alpha.-Galactosidase and .alpha.-N-acetylgalactosaminidase were isolated from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells on .epsilon.-aminocaproylgalactosylamine-Sepharose. .alpha.-Galactosidase was purified 160,000-fold and was free of other glycosidase activities. .alpha.-N-Acetylgalactosaminidase was also purified 160,000-fold but exhibited a weak .alpha.-galactosidase activity which appears to be inherent in this enzyme. Substrate specificity of the .alpha.-galactosidase was investigated with 12 substrates and compared with that of the corresponding coffee bean enzyme. The pH optimum of the Ehrlich cell .alpha.-galactosidase centered near 4.5, irrespective of substrate, whereas the pH optimum of the coffee bean enzyme for PNP-.alpha.-Gal was 6.0, which is 1.5 pH units higher than that for other substrates of the coffee bean enzyme. The reverse was found for .alpha.-N-acetylgalactosaminidase: the pH optimum for the hydrolysis of PNP-.alpha.-GalNAc was 3.6, lower than the pH 4.5 required for the hydrolysis of GalNAc.alpha.1,3Gal. Coffee bean .alpha.-galactosidase showed a relatively broad substrate specificity, suggesting that it is suited for cleaving many kinds of terminal .alpha.-galactosyl linkages. On the other hand, the substrate specificity of Ehrlich .alpha.-galactosidase appears to be quite narrow. This enzyme was highly active toward the terminal .alpha.-galactosyl linkages of Ehrlich glycoproteins and laminin, both of which possess Gal.alpha.1,3Gal.beta.1,4GlcNAc.beta.-trisaccharide sequences. The .alpha.-N-acetylgalactosaminidase was found to be active toward the blood group type A disaccharide, and trisaccharide, and glycoproteins with type A-active carbohydrate chains.
