Abstract: | Aggrecan-derived chondroitin sulfate (CS) chains, released by beta-elimination, were derivatized with p-aminobenzoic acid or p-aminophenol; radioiodinated; and subjected to graded or complete degradations by chondroitin ABC lyase to generate linkage region fragments of the basic structure DeltaGlyUA-GalNAc-GlcUA-Gal-Gal-Xyl-R (where DeltaGlyUA represents 4, 5-unsaturated glycuronic acid, and R is the adduct), by chondroitin AC lyase to generate the shorter fragment DeltaGlyUA-Gal-Gal-Xyl-R, or by chondroitin C lyase to generate the same fragment when it was linked to a 6-O-sulfated or unsulfated GalNAc at the nonreducing end. Fragments were separated by size using gel chromatography, by charge using ion-exchange chromatography, and by size/charge using electrophoresis and then characterized by stepwise degradations from the nonreducing end by using mercuric acetate to remove all terminal DeltaGlyUA, by bacterial glycuronidase to remove the same residue when linked to unsulfated or 6-O-sulfated GalNAc/Gal, by mammalian 4-sulfatase to remove sulfate from terminal GalNAc 4-O-sulfate, by chondro-4-sulfatase to remove 4-O-sulfate from other GalNAc/Gal residues, and by beta-galactosidase to remove terminal Gal. Results with CS from bovine nasal cartilage aggrecan show that, in nearly all chains, Xyl and probably also the first Gal are unsubstituted, whereas the second Gal is 4-O-sulfated in one CS chain out of five. The first disaccharide repeat is sulfated at C-4 of GalNAc in one chain out of three and unsulfated in the other two. A sulfated first disaccharide is always joined to an unsulfated GlcUA-Gal-Gal sequence. In contrast, CS from human articular cartilage usually has a sulfated first disaccharide repeat. In CS from young human cartilage, sulfate groups are mostly at C-4 of GalNAc in the major part of the chain, but at C-6 in the nonreducing distal portion. In CS from old cartilage, sulfation at C-6 of GalNAc is a major feature from the nonreducing end down to approximately positions 4 and 5 from the linkage region, where GalNAc 4-O-sulfate is common. |
