The role of asparagine (N)-linked oligosaccharide
chains in intracellular folding of the human chorionic gonadotropin
(hCG)- subunit was determined by examining the kinetics of folding
in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with wild-type or
mutant hCG- genes lacking one or both of the asparagine
glycosylation sites. The half-time for folding of p 1 into p 2,
the rate-determining step in folding, was 7 min for wild-type
but 33 min for lacking both N-linked glycans. The
p 1 p 2 half-time was 7.5 min in CHO cells expressing
the subunit missing the Asn -linked glycan and 10 min
for the subunit missing the Asn -linked glycan. The
inefficient folding of hCG- lacking both N-linked glycans
correlated with the slow formation of the last three disulfide bonds
(i.e. disulfides 23-72, 93-100, and 26-110)
to form in the hCG- -folding pathway. Unglycosylated hCG- was
slowly secreted from CHO cells, and subunit-folding intermediates
retained in cells for more than 5 h were degraded into a hCG- core
fragment-like protein. However, coexpression of the hCG- gene
enhanced folding and formation of disulfide bonds 23-72,
93-100, and 26-110 of hCG- lacking N-linked
glycans. In addition, the molecular chaperones BiP, ERp72, and ERp94,
but not calnexin, were found in a complex with unglycosylated, unfolded
hCG- and may be involved in the folding of this form. These
data indicate that N-linked oligosaccharides assist hCG-
subunit folding by facilitating disulfide bond formation.
