  • Supplied with 10X G7 Reaction Buffer, 10X Glycoprotein Denaturation buffer, and 10% NP-40
Description:
Peptide: N-Glycosidase F, also known as PNGase F, is an amidase and supplied glycerol free for optimal performance in HPLC intensive methods. PNGase F cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid and complex oligosaccharides from N-linked glycoproteins (1)





PNGase F hydrolyzes nearly all types of N-glycan chains from glycopeptides/proteins. [x = H or sugar(s)]



Source:
PNGase F is purified from Flavobacterium meningosepticum (2).

Applications:
  • Removal of carbohydrate residues from proteins
  • Preferred formulation for HPLC intensive methods
Reagents Supplied:
G7 Reaction Buffer (10X)
Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer[5% SDS, 0.4M DTT] (10X)
NP-40 (10%)


Enzyme Properties


Molecular Weight:
Apparent: 36,000 daltons

Specific Activity:
1,800,000 units/mg


Reaction & Storage Conditions


Reaction Conditions:
1X G7 Reaction Buffer
Supplemented with 1 % NP-40
Incubate at 37°C.

1X G7 Reaction Buffer:
50 mM sodium phosphate
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to remove > 95% of the carbohydrate from 10 µg of denatured RNase B in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 µl (65 NEB units = 1 IUB milliunit). 

Unit Definition Assay:
10 µg of RNase B are denatured with 1X Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer at 100°C for 10 minutes. After the addition of NP-40 and G7 Reaction Buffer, two-fold dilutions of PNGase F are added and the reaction mix is incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. Separation of reaction products are visualized by SDS-PAGE.

Concentration:
500,000 units/ml

Storage Conditions:
20 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
5 mM Na2EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Storage Temperature:
4°C
Store at 4°C, do not freeze.


Notes


Usage notes:
  1. Since PNGase F activity is inhibited by SDS, it is essential to have NP-40 present in the reaction mixture. Why this non-ionic detergent counteracts the SDS inhibition is unknown at present.
  2. To deglycosylate a native glycoprotein, longer incubation time as well as more enzyme may be required.
  3. PNGase F will not cleave N-linked glycans containing core α1-3 Fucose.
  4. Repeated freeze thaw cycles degrade enzyme activity over time.
  5. Activity at different temperatures (measured after a 1 hour incubation of glycosidase and denatured RNase B at the given temperature): 37°C - 100%; 30°C - 100%; 23°C - 65%; 17°C - 40% and  3°C - 0%.
  6. Typical reaction conditions: Please see FAQs.

FAQs


  1. I tried the PNGase F on my glycoprotein and didn't see removal of the carbohydrate. What could be the problem?
  2. What is the difference between PNGase F and Endo H?
  3. How much PNGase F should I use to remove my carbohydrate under native conditions?
  4. How do I inhibit PNGase F?
  5. What is a good endoglycosidase substrate?
  6. Does PNGase F work in Urea?
  7. Do detergents inhibit exoglycosidases/endoglycosidases?
  8. What are the typical reaction conditions for PNGase F (Glycerol Free)?
  9. Why is my immunoprecipitated (IP) protein degraded? When I denature and add SDS all I see on my SDS-PAGE is a smear or no protein?
  10. What are Glycosidases and their uses?

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Quality Assurance Statement:
No contaminating exoglycosidase or Endoglycosidase F2 or F3 activity could be detected. < 0.01% of Endoglycosidase F1 could be detected. No contaminating proteolytic activity could be detected.

Glycosidase Assay:
5,000 units of PNGase F were incubated with 0.1 mM of fluorescently-labeled oligosaccharides and glycopeptides, in a 10 µl reaction for 20 hours at 37°C. The reaction products were analyzed by TLC for digestion of substrate.
