PNGase F is the most effective enzymatic method for removing almost all N-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. PNGase F is an amidase, which cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides. 

  • Leaves N-glycan core oligosaccharides intact and suitable for further analysis
  • Non-recombinant with no detectable endoglycosidase F1, F2 or F3 contamination
  • ≥ 95% purity, as determined by SDS-PAGE and intact ESI-MS
  • Stored in 50% glycerol
  • Optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months
  • Can be used under native or denaturing conditions

    Overview of Glycobiology

Peptide -N-Glycosidase F, also known as PNGase F, is an amidase that cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides from N-linked glycoproteins (1)

Detailed Specificity:
PNGase F is not able to cleave N-linked glycans from glycoproteins when the innermost GlcNAc residue is linked to an α1-3 Fucose residue. This modification is most commonly found in plant and some insect glycoproteins.
Product Source
PNGase F is purified from Flavobacterium meningosepticum (3) and it is free of proteases and Endo F activities.

Properties & Usage

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.

Unit Definition Assay:
10 µg of RNase B are denatured with 1X Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer (0.5% SDS, 40 mM DTT) at 100°C for 10 minutes. After the addition of NP-40 and GlycoBuffer 2, 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.

Notes
  • 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.
  • To deglycosylate a native glycoprotein, longer incubation time as well as more enzyme may be required.
  • PNGase F will not cleave N-linked glycans containing core α1-3 Fucose.
  • Typical reaction conditions: Please see Protocols

FAQs
Tech Tips
  • PNGase F
    You can use this enzyme under native or denaturing conditions
    Under native conditions we recommend adding more enzyme and using longer incubation times
    PNGase F activity is inhibited by SDS, therefore under denaturing conditions it is essential to have NP-40 present in the reaction mixture in a 1:1 ratio.
    PNGase F will not cleave N-linked glycans containing core a1-3 Fucose (PNGase A must be used in this instance)
    Enzyme activity varies at different temperatures: 37°C - 100%; 30°C - 100%; 23°C - 65%; 17°C - 40% and 3°C - 0%
    A good positive control substrate is RNase B
