Abstract
 We have identified, and purified to homogeneity, a high molecular weight Ginkgo biloba α-fucosidase (α-fucosidase Gb, 120 kDa estimated by SDS‒PAGE) with activity against α-fucosylated oligosaccharides. When a Lewis a epitope-containing N-glycan was used as a substrate, α-fucosidase Gb showed optimum activity at approximately pH 5.5, suggesting that it functions in acidic environments such as the vacuole. It remains uncertain, however, whether this Ginkgo α-fucosidase belongs to the GH29 family, since its N-terminal sequence could not be determined, probably due to a chemical modification. α-Fucosidase Gb showed substantial activity towards the α1,3-fucosyl linkage in Lacto-N-fucopentaose III and an α1,4-fucosyl linkage in the Lewis a epitope found in plant complex type N-glycans, indicating an involvement in the degradation process of α-fucosylated oligosaccharides or N-glycoproteins.
Abstract Alternative
 銀杏種子から高分子量 (SDS-PAGE で120 kDa) を有し,α-フコース含有オリゴ糖に活性を示すα-フコシダーゼ(α-fucosidase Gb)を均一に精製した.ルイス a エピトープ含有 N-グリカンを基質とした場合,α-fucosidase Gb の至適 pH は 5.5 付近であることから,本酵素は液胞のような酸性環境で機能していることが示唆された.N‒末端アミノ酸配列が化学修飾のため同定できなかったため,本酵素が GH29 ファミリーに属するかどうかは不明である.α-Fucosidase Gb は,Lacto-N-fucopentaose IIIの α1,3-フコース残基やルイス a エピトープ含有の植物複合型N-グリカンのα1,4-フコース残基を加水分解することから,α-フコース含有オリゴ糖やN 型糖タンパク質の分解プロセスに関与することが示唆された.
