JAR malignant trophoblast cells produce a free alpha subunit in addition to an alpha combined with beta subunit as hCG. The free alpha is larger by gel chromatography and SDS-PAGE than combined alpha and is unable to associate with beta subunit to form hCG. A tryptic fragment, representing amino acid residues 36-42, derived from free alpha was larger than the corresponding fragment from combined alpha. After neuraminidase treatment, the fragment from free alpha bound peanut lectin agarose, which is specific for Gal beta 1-3GalNAc as found in O-linked oligosaccharides. The fragment also contained Gal and GalNAc (and a lesser amount of GlcNAc) as determined by glycosidase sensitivity and amino sugar analyses. Removal of this tryptic fragment ablated the size difference between free and combined alpha subunits.
