An extracellular α-glucosidase (Mr63,560) fromAspergillus fumigatuswas purified to homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 4.5,KmandVvalues of 1.85 mmand 10 μmoles/min/mg with maltose as substrate. It was specific for the α-configuration, readily hydrolyzed maltose and isomaltose, but utilized trehalose andp-nitrophenyl-α-d-glucoside very slowly. One mole of enzyme contained 55.1 moles of mannose, 3.2 moles of glucosamine, and 5.4 moles of glucose. However, precipitation with trichloroacetic acid released all of the glucose, while mannose and glucosamine remained associated with the protein, indicating that the latter sugais were covalently bound to the enzyme. When the enzyme was treated with 0.05nNaOH in the presence of [3H]NaBH4, no oligosaccharide was released and no tritiated hexitols were observed. However, stronger alkaline treatment (1nNaOH, 100 °C, 6 hr) in the presence of [3H]NaBH4released the oligosaccharide and led to formation of [3H]glucosaminitol. These data suggested a glucosaminyl → asparagine linkage. Treatment of the α-glucosidase with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase caused the release of oligosaccharide chain(s), indicating a Man(GlcNAc)2Asn linkage.
