Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo H) was found to bring about the complete hydrolysis of dolichyl pyrophosphoryl oligosaccharides. Both glucosylated and unglucosylated polymannose oligosaccharides were released by the enzyme through cleavage of the di-N-acetylchitobiose sequence. The action of the endo H on the oligosaccharidelipids was facilitated by the inclusion of Triton X-100 (maximal stimulation at concentrations greater than 0.03%) or small amounts of a variety of other detergents; however, sodium dodecyl sulfate (0.1%) was strongly inhibitory. Although incubations were routinely carried out at pH 5.2, the enzyme was noted to be equally effective at pH 6.5 and to retain 75% of its activity toward oligosaccharide-lipid at pH 7.4. While these results broaden the known specificity of the endo H for the aglycon moiety, it was observed that even under optimal conditions the rate of hydrolysis of lipid-linked Glc3Man9GlcNAc2was substantially slower than that of the same oligosaccharide attached to asparagine in a peptide sequence. The use of endo H, an enzyme which can be obtained free of exoglycosidases, appears to have a number of advantages over mild acid hydrolysis as a tool for cleaving oligosaccharide-lipids. It was found that the latter procedure causes a small but detectable degradation of the sugar chains and, when carried out in the presence of methanol, leads to the release of about 10% of the oligosaccharide as its β-methyl glycoside. Furthermore, the oligosaccharides released by the endo H can be directly compared to those liberated by this enzyme from glycoproteins; this may prove to be useful in metabolic studies dealing with oligosaccharidelipid assembly and their involvement in theN-glycosylation of proteins.
