PNGase A cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and short complex oligosaccharides such as those found in plant and insect cells from N-linked glycoproteins and glycopeptides. PNGase A differs from PNGase F in that it cleaves N-linked glycans with or without α(1,3)-linked core fucose residues.
PNGase A is a recombinant amidase, which cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and short complex oligosaccharides such as those found in plant and insect cells from N-linked glycoproteins and glycopeptides. PNGase A differs from PNGase F in that it cleaves N-linked glycans with or without α(1,3)-linked core fucose residues.
The following reagents are supplied with this product:
NEB # | Component Name | Component # | Stored at (°C) | Amount | Concentration |
1X GlycoBuffer 3
Incubate at 37°C
1X GlycoBuffer 3
50 mM sodium acetate
(pH 6 @ 25°C)
20 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
5 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C
NEB's version of PNGase A can cleave glycoproteins, there is no need for tryptic digest prior to deglycosylation.
PNGase A can cleave N-linked glycans containing core α1-3 Fucose.
PNGase A 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.
A good positive control substrate is recombinant avidin from maize or HRP.
