The plant cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP), also call
ed extensin, contains arabinose and oligoarabinaside side chains O-gly
cosidically linked to hydroxyproline (Hyp). We present a highly sensit
ive method for determining both the glycosylation pattern and the Hyp
content of HRGP requiring only nanomole amounts of each Hyp-compound f
or accurate determination. This method is based on anion-exchange chro
matography followed by pulsed amperometric detection of the Hyp-oligoa
rabinosides and Hyp released from HRGP by 0.22 M Ba(ON)(2) hydrolysis,
which cleaves only peptidyl bonds. A sodium acetate gradient. (0-250
mM) in 150 mM NaOH elutes Hyp and the Hyp-oligoarabinosides Hyp-(Ara)(
1-5) in less than 40 min. We have used this procedure to determine the
glycosylation pattern of Hyp in plant cell walls, without prior isola
tion of HRGP. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
