When sialidase digests of the acidic fractions as shown in Fig. 1 were separately subjected to BioGel P-4 column chromatography, it was shown that the tetraantennary oligosaccharide AN4 is included in the asialooligosaccharides of A-2, -3, -5, and -6, respectively (data not shown). Thus, the result and the mobility of each acidic fraction relative to authentic oligosaccharide standards indicated that one to four sites of AN4 are sialylated. Other oligosaccharides were also analyzed in the same way (data not shown). Methylation analysis of the oligosaccharide fraction of rHuEPO before (A) and after (AN) sialidase treatment indicated that almost all sialyl residues are linked at theC-3 position of galactosyl residues (Table 111). This is in agreement with the fact that all the sialic acid residues of rHuEPO were susceptible to Newcastle disease virus sialidase (data not shown), which specifically cleaves the Siaa2-3Gal linkage. In contrast, approximately 40% of sialyl linkages were resistant to this viral sialidase in thecase of urinary HuEPO (data not shown), indicating that other linkages are involved. Methylation analysis of oligosaccharide mixtures obtained from urinary HuEPO before and aftersialidase treatment revealed that sialic acids in these oligosaccharides are linked at theC- 3 and C-6 positions of galactose residues (data not shown). Therefore, the sialyl linkages resistant to the viral sialidase are considered to occur as the NeuAca24Galgroup. DISCUSSION Several glycoproteins have recently been produced by using recombinant techniques (15-17). To our knowledge, however, this is the first case to have analyzed comparatively the naturally occurring and the biotechnologically produced glycoproteins on thefine structural basis. Both rHuEPO and urinary HuEPOcontained tetraantennary oligosaccharides as major components. The residual oligosaccharides hadbiantennaryandtriantennary sugar chain structures. Both samples were also rich in fucosylated oligosaccharides. In addition to these similarities, some differences were also found in the sugar chains of the two erythropoietin samples. The total amount of complex-type oligosaccharides with N-acetyllactosamine repeating units in their outer chain moieties accounted for 34.5% in the case of rHuEPO, which was approximately five times higher than that of urinary HuEPO (7.5%).All sialic acid residues in the sugar chains of rHuEPO occur as theNeuAca2-3Gal group, while about 60% of those of urinary HuEPO occur as the Case 1:05-cv-12237-WGY 3660 Document 547-36 Filed 06/22/2007 Page 5 of 8 Sugars of Recombinant andErythropoietins Native TABLE I11 Methylation analysis of acidic (A) and asialo-ol&osaccharide(AN) fractions derived from rHuEP0 Molar ratio" A AN Fucitols 2,3,4-Tri-O-methyl (1,5-di-Oacetyl) Galactitols 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-methyl (1,5-di0-acetyl) 2,4,6-Tri-O-methyl (1,3,5-tri-Oacetyl) Mannitols 3,4,6-Tri-O-methyl (1,2,5-tri-0acetyl) 3,6-Di-0-methyl (1,2,4,5-tetra0-acetyl) 3.4-Di-0-methyl (1,2,5,6-tetra0-acetyl) 1.0 2,4-Di-O-methyl (1,3,5,6-tetra0-acetyl) 2-N-Methylacetamido-2-deoxyglucitols 1,3,5,6-Tetra-O-methyl (4mono-0-acetyl) 3,6-Di-O-methyl (1,4,5-tri-0acetyl) 1,3,5-Tri-O-methyl (4,6-di-Oacetyl) 0.8 0.8 3.0 0.9 3.3 0.6 0.3 0.2 0.9 0.9 0.8 0.8 1.0 0.2 5.0 0.2 5.0 1.0 1.0 a Numbers were calculated by taking the value for 2,4-di-O-methylmannitol as 1.00. Glycosylation of proteins primarily depends on the level of glycosyltransferases in the cells and is also affected by their primary amino acid sequences. The difference in sialyl linkages detected in the two erythropoietin samples may be the result of the former situation. In accordance with rHuEPO, G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus grown in CHO cells (44,45) and recombinant y-interferon produced in CHO cells (17) have been shown to contain only the NeuAcaBj3Gal linkage. Therefore, the exclusive expression of this sialyl linkage may indicate that CHO cells lack CMPNeuAc:Gal@l-t4GlcNAca2+6sialyltransferase. All of the oligosaccharides detected in rHuEPO were also found in urinary HuEPO. This results also suggests the similarity of biosynthetic background between CHO cells and erythropoietinproducing cells in the human kidney. Alternatively, large parts of sugar chain structures may be regulated by the primary amino acid sequence of peptide. The major oligosaccharides of rHuEPO have tetraantennary structure, and considerable amounts of N-acetyllactosamine repeating structures were detected. However, such structures have been detected neither in y-interferon produced in CHO cells (17) nor in vesicular stomatitis virus grown in CHO cells (40, 41). Instead, yinterferon exclusively expressed biantennary structure, and vesicular stomatitis virus expressed biantennary and 2,6branched triantennary structures. On the basis of these results, it seems likely that theprimary amino acid sequence of polypeptide moiety is another important factor controlling the synthesis of sugar chains.
