The cationic peanut peroxidase is a complex enzyme consisting of a heme group, two calcium ions and three complex carbohydrate chains at positions Asn60, 144 and 185. Details of the heme and calcium ligation, necessary for oxidation, have recently been revealed from the three-dimensional structure of the peroxidase. However, the three glycans that may be important for the stability of the enzyme as well as its activity were not resolved. In order to determine the configuration of one of these glycans, PNGase A was used to cleave the glycan from the enzyme at Asn-144. This glycan was studied by two dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy to identify the sugar linkages. The results indicated a glycan structure comprising a Man alpha1-6(Xyl beta1-2)Man beta1-4GlcNAc beta1-4(Fuc alpha1-3)GlcNAc beta core but with an additional Man alpha1-3 appendage linked to Man3. The glycan also appeared to be heterogeneous as was noted from a single terminating galactose being linked to approximately 20-25% glycan.
