The recent discovery of free oligosaccharides typical for the complex type of glycan chains terminating with a free di-N-acetylchitobiosyl structure in certain fish eggs and early embryos (Ishii, K., Iwasaki, M., Inoue, S., Kenny, P. T. M., Komura, H., and Inoue, Y. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 1623-1630; Seko, A., Kitajima, K., Iwasaki, M., Inoue, S., and Inoue, Y. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 15922-15929; Inoue, S., Iwasaki, M., Ishii, K., Kitajima, K., and Inoue, Y. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 18520-18526) led us to find an enzyme responsible for detachment of N-linked glycan chains from glycoproteins by hydrolyzing the beta-aspartyl-glucosylamine linkage in Oryzias latipes embryos. The enzyme, peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase or peptide:N-glycosidase (PNGase), was partially (2090-fold) purified, and the reaction site at which this enzyme acts was specified by analysis and identification of the reaction products. This is the first demonstration showing PNGase in animal sources, although the presence of PNGases was reported in a variety of plant extracts and bacteria. Thus, the commonality of this type of enzyme is now demonstrated, and the possible physiological role of PNGase in de-N-glycosylation as a basic biologic process is proposed.
