    Abstract:
    The primary envelope gene product of the polycythemia-inducing strain of Friend spleen focus-forming virus, glycoprotein 52 (gp52), as well as its processed form, glycoprotein 65 (gp65), were isolated from virus-infected normal rat kidney cells metabolically labeled with [2-3H]mannose. Following digestion with trypsin, glycopeptides containing individual N-glycosylation sites were obtained by gel filtration and subsequent reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the glycopeptides demonstrated that only asparagine residues 11 and 26, located in the N-terminal domains of gp52 and gp65, carry carbohydrate substituents, while the potential N-glycosylation sites in the C-terminal portions of the molecules are not used. Carbohydrates attached were liberated by treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H or peptide: N-glycosidase F and characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results demonstrated that gp52 carries similar patterns of oligomannosidic glycans in both positions. In gp65, however, asparagine residue 11 is almost exclusively substituted by complete, fucosylated N-acetyllactosaminic oligosaccharides, whereas asparagine residue 26 carries oligomannosidic or truncated N-acetyllactosaminic glycans.
