Abstract
A .beta.1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase having the following properties: (1) Action: it transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to .alpha.-6-D-mannoside; (2) Substrate specificity: it shows a reactivity of about 79% for GnGnF-bi-PA, about 125% for GnGnGn-tri-PA and about 66% for GnM-Pa, when taking a reactivity for GnGn-bi-PA as 100%; (3) Optimum pH: 6.2 to 6.3; (4) Inhibition, Activation and Stability: Mn.sup.2+ is not necessary for expression of activity, and the activity is not inhibited in the presence of 20 mM EDTA; (5) Molecular weight: about 73,000 as determined by SDS-PAGE in the absence of reducing agent; and about 73,000 and about 60,000 as determined in the presence of a reducing agent; (6) Km value: 133 .mu.M and 3.5 mM for acceptor GnGn-bi-PA and donor UDP-GlcNAc, respectively; and (7) It includes the following peptide fragments:
