OglyZOR™ – Hydrolysis of Core 1 O-glycans

OglyZOR is an endoglycosidase (O-Glycosidase) that specifically hydrolyzes core 1 O-glycans on native glycoproteins.

SmartEnzymes™

OglyZOR is used for removal of O-glycans for glycan analysis, confirmation of O-glycan presence and reduction of sample heterogeneity.

About OglyZOR™

OglyZOR is an endoglycosidase (endo-α-N-Acetylgalactosaminidase) that catalyzes the hydrolysis of core 1, and to a limited extent core 3, O-glycans from native glycoproteins.

Removal of sialic acids is required for OglyZOR enzyme activity, and therefore, SialEXO Lyophilized composed of a mix of sialidases for removal of α2-3, α2-6 and α2-8-linked sialic acids, is supplied together with OglyZOR. Optimal activity is obtained at pH 6.5 to 7.5 and at 37°C.

OglyZOR is derived from Streptococcus oralis and expressed in E. coli. The enzyme contains a His-tag and the molecular weight is 227 kDa. SialEXO is derived from Akkermansia muciniphila and expressed in E. coli. The SialEXO enzymes contain His-tags and the molecular weights of the components are 42 kDa and 66 kDa, respectively.

FAQ and Support

Yes, this workflow enables MS/MS of O-glycosylated peptides with removed O-glycans.

OglyZOR only works on desialylated O-glycans therefore is a sialidase (SialEXO) included with the product. SialEXO is not O-glycan specific and will therefore desialylate any N-glycans that are present.

No, OglyZOR recognizes the core 1 disaccharide HexNAcHex (or GalNAcGal) and to some extend also the core 3 disaccharide HexNAc(2) (or GalNAcGlcNAc).

Yes, we have performed successful experiments with OglyZOR, SialEXO and PNGaseF in the same reaction under native conditions O/N at pH ~7.0.  If denaturing reaction conditions are required for PNGaseF, the reaction with OglyZOR and SialEXO needs to be performed first under native conditions, then add PNGaseF and the required buffer.
