WHAT ARE GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS?
The most common characteristic component of
glycosphingolipids is the aliphatic amino
alcohol discovered by Thudichum.
Thudichum named it Sphingosine after the
enigmatic Sphinx from Egypt having a head of
Pharaoh and body of a lion.

PURIFICATION GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS
 Alkaline methanolysis
 The Glycolipid fraction from the silicic acid column is
treated with mild base to remove contaminating
phospholipids. This treatment does not affect glycolipids
or gangliosides unless they contain an O-acyl group. The
following quantities are used for 1-10mg of glycolipid
fraction. Add 1ml of chloroform and 1ml of 0.6 N NaOH in
methanol to the dry fraction and allow the mixture to
react at room temperature for 1 hour. Then add 1.2 ml of
0.5 N HCL in methanol, 1.7ml of water, and 3.4ml of
chloroform, mix well, centrifuge, and remove the lower
layer containing the glycolipids. Was the lower layer three
times with methanol:water (1:1) and then evaporate it to
dryness in vacuo.

MASS SPECTROMETRY OF INTACT TMSI
DERIVATIVES OF GLYCOLIPIDS
 Mass spectrometr y of intact TMS derivatives of glycolipids gives
information about the sugar groups, the fatty acid and the sphingosine
por tion of glycosphingolipids. Bis (trimethylsiyl ) trifluroroacetamide
(100microliter) and pyridine (50 microliter) are added to 20 -200microgram
of the purified glycospingolipid in a small capped vial and heated at 60
degrees F for about 30 minutes. An aliquot containing 10 -20 microgram of
the TMS glycolipid is evaporated to dr yness under nitrogen in a mass
spectrometer direct probe tube. The samples are volatilized in the mass
spectrometer ion source at temperatures ranging 100 degrees to 1 80
degrees depending on the size of the oligosacc haride unit.
 The following information can be obtained by comparison of the resulting
mass spectra with those of reference samples: (1) whether the terminal
residue is a hexose or hexosamine ; (2) the number of and nature of N acetylneuramine acid groups (i.e., terminal or branched); (3) whether N acetyl and/or N -glycol ylneuraminate is present; (4) information regarding
the number of glycosyl residues present and the fatty acid and sphingosine
composition. It is essential, because of the limitations of this technique
(e.g., the inability to distinguish between hexoses), that it be used in
conjuncti on with other techniques, such as permethylation analyses, and
studies with specific glycosidases .

PERBENZOYLATION
 Principle:
 Since neutral glycosphingolpids do not
possess a characteristic chromophore that
permits their quantitation by UV
detection, they can be derivatized with
benzoylchloride to form stable per -O,N
benzoylated products. These products can
be quantified by UV light at 280nm or at a
higher sensitivity at 230nm.
 GSL(200ng) plus N -acetylpsychosine (an
internal standard) are dried in N2.
Perbenzoylation is carried out by adding
500uL of 10% benzoylchloride in pyridine
for 16hr at 37 C. The samples are N2
dried and washed thrice with 1 .8mL of
methanol: water(saturated with sodium
carbonate). The hexane layer is washed
and finally dried in N2. The derivatives are
dissolved in CCL4(100uL) and a suitable
aliquot injected in to the HPLC
column(Zipax,E.I DuPont column 2.1
mmx500nm).

LOCALIZATION OF GSL USING
GALACTOSEOXIDASE
 Galactose oxdiase oxidizes D-galactosyl and N-acetylD-galactosaminyl residues at nonreducing terminals
of glycoproteins and glycolipids to carbon -6
aldehydes.
 These aldehydes are then reduced back to
galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine with tritiated
borohydride. When intact cells are treated with the
enzyme, only surface-exposed glycoconjugates are
oxidized subsequently reduced, because the enzyme
is unable to penetrate the cell plasma membrane.
 Because sialic acids often are linked to penultimate
galactosyl residues, more efficient labeling is
achieved by the simultaneous use of neuraminidase.

Reaction
GSL GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASE ASSAYS
 An essential feature of this galactosyltransferase is the
requirement for manganese ions and detergent for optimal
activity. This is because this is a Golgi –bound enzyme but is
also present in the cell membrane.
 Radiolabeled UDP-galactose serves as the galactose donor
and GlcCer as the acceptor. The pH optima is 7.8 and Tris or
Cacodylate buf fer is preferred.
 Following incubation for 2hr at 37 C, the reaction is
terminated with C:M 2:1 .The upper aqueous layer is discarded.
The lower phase is N2 dried mixed with unlabeled LacCer and
separated by HPTLC. The LacCer band id identified by
exposing the HPTLC plate to iodine vapors. Gel area
corresponding to LacCer is scraped and radioactivity s
measured. The data is expressed as pmol LacCer synthesized
