    Abstract:
    The structures of the predominant high mannose oligosaccharides present in a human IgM myeloma protein (Patient Wa) have been determined. The IgM glycopeptides, produced by pronase digestion, were fractionated on DEAE-cellulonalysis shows that glycopeptide I contains Asn, Pro, Ala, Thr, and His and glycopeptide II contains Asn, Val, and Ser, which are the same amino acids found in the sequences around Asn 402 and Asn 563 respectively, to which high mannose oligosaccharides are attached in IgM (Patient Ou) (Putnman, F.W., Florent, G., Paul, C., Shinoda, T., and Shimizu, A. (1973) Science 182, 287-290). The high mannose glycopeptides in IgM (Wa) exhibit heterogeneity in the oligosaccharide portion. Structural analysis of the major oligosaccharides indicates that the simplest structure is: (see article of journal). The larger oligosaccharides present have additional mannose residues linked alpha 1 yields 2 to terminal mannose residues in the above structure. Glycopeptide I contains primarily Man5 and Man6 species, while glycopeptide II contains Man6 and Man8 species. The two Man6 oligosaccharides have different branching patterns.
