    Abstract:
    Bovine blood coagulation factor IX (Christmas factor) contains four asparagine-linked sugar chains in one molecule. The sugar chains were quantitatively liberated as radioactive oligosaccharides from the polypeptide moiety by hydrazinolysis followed by N-acetylation and NaB3H4 reduction. The structures of these sugar chains were determined by sequential exoglycosidase digestion in combination with methylation analysis. Bovine factor IX contained two unique penta- and tetrasialyl triantennary sugar chains with the structures shown below in addition to tetra-, tri-, and disialyl biantennary sugar chains of Sia alpha 2 leads to 3 Gal beta 1 leads 3(Sia alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Sia alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(Sia alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNac beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Sia alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Sia alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3(Sia alpha 2 leads to 6)GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, and Sia alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6(Sia alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc and their partially desialized forms.
