The Asparagine-linked Oligosaccharides of the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Subunit Facilitate Correct Disulfide Bond Pairing

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 p1 into p2, the rate-determining step in folding, was 7 min for wild-type but 33 min for lacking both N-linked glycans. The p1 p2 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.
