Product Introduction

O-Glycosidase, also known as Endo-α-N-Acetylgalactosaminidase, catalyzes the removal of Core 1 and Core 3 O-linked disaccharides from glycoproteins.

  • Can be used in conjunction with other exoglycosidases to remove more complex O-glycans
  • Recombinant enzyme with no detectable exoglycosidase or other endoglycosidase contaminating activities
  • Glycerol -free for optimal performance in HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis
  • ≥95% purity, as determined by SDS-PAGE and intact ESI-MS
  • Optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit of enzyme cleaves 1 pmol of Neuraminidase treated FAM-labelled O-glycopeptide in 1 hour at 37 °C.

Reaction Conditions

1X GlycoBuffer 2
Incubate at 37°C

1X GlycoBuffer 2
50 mM Sodium Phosphate
(pH 7.5 @ 25°C)

Storage Buffer

20 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
1 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Heat Inactivation

65°C for 10 minutes

Molecular Weight

Apparent: 147 kDa

Unit Assay Conditions

Two fold serial dilutions of O-Glycosidase are added to reaction mixtures of 2 pmol Neuraminidase treated FAM-labelled O-glycopeptide in 1X GlycoBuffer 2. The reactions are incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour. The amount of deglycosylated O-glycopeptide is determined by capillary electrophoresis.

Application Features

  • Removal of Core 1 and Core 3 O-linked disaccharide glycans from glycoproteins

Product Notes

  1. Since O-Glycosidase is inhibited by SDS, it is essential to have NP-40 in the reaction mixture. It is not known why this non-ionic detergent counteracts the SDS inhibition at the present time. Double digest with Endo H must have NP-40 present (NP-40 does not inhibit Endo H).
  2. To deglycosylate a native glycoprotein, longer incubation time as well as more enzyme may be required.
  3. It is necessary to treat glycoproteins concomitantly with Neuraminidase and O-Glycosidase. Neuraminic Acid residues must be removed in order to allow O-Glycosidase to cleave the O-linked disaccharides. A general Neuraminidase (#P0720) or the O-Glycosidase and Neuraminidase bundle (#E0540S)  is recommended.
  4. Under denaturing conditions the enzyme activity is increased two-fold. This observation is substrate dependent.
  5. O-glycosidase contains a C-terminal hexahistidine tag (6xHis-tag).

Tech Tips

Don’t forget to include Neuraminidase (P0720) in your reaction! It is necessary to treat glycoproteins concomitantly with Neuraminidase and O-Glycosidase. Neuraminic Acid residues must be removed in order to allow O-Glycosidase to cleave the O-linked disaccharides.

NEB’s O-Glycosidase is the only available O-Glycosidase that catalyzes the removal of Core 1 and Core 3 O-linked disaccharides from glycoproteins

You can use this enzyme under native or denaturing conditions

Under native conditions we recommend adding more enzyme and using longer incubation times

Under denaturing conditions the enzyme activity is increased two-fold. However, this observation may be substrate dependent.
