What is Novel purification of the catalytic domain of Golgi alpha-mannosidase II. Characterization and comparison with the intact enzyme. about?

Rat liver alpha-mannosidase II, a hydrolase involved in the processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, is an integral membrane glycoprotein facing the lumen of Golgi membranes. We have previously shown (Moremen, K. W., and Touster, O. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 10945-10951) that mild chymotrypsin digestion of permeabilized or solubilized Golgi membranes will result in the cleavage of the intact 124,000-dalton alpha-mannosidase II subunit, releasing a 110,000-dalton hydrophilic polypeptide which contains the catalytic site. Consistent with the removal of a membrane binding domain, the chymotrypsin-generated 110,000-dalton peptide was found exclusively in the aqueous phase in Triton X-114 phase separation studies, whereas the intact enzyme was found in the detergent phase. Taking advantage of this conversion in phase partitioning behavior, a purification procedure was developed to isolate the 110,000-dalton proteolytic digestion product as a homogeneous polypeptide for further characterization and protein sequencing at a yield of greater than 65% from a rat liver Golgi-enriched membrane fraction. An improved purification procedure for the intact enzyme was also developed. The
