- Abstract
The hydroxylysine-glycosides in bovine and mouse C1q are directly quantified in parallel with those in human C1q after the alkaline hydrolysis of these molecules. Human, bovine and mouse C1q contain 68.3, 66.3 and 64.0 hydroxylysine-galactosylglucose residues in each of these molecules respectively. Only human C1q contains 2.5 residues of hydroxylysine-galactose per molecule, and both of bovine and mouse C1q contain no detectable hydroxylysine-monosaccharides in their molecules. The percentage of hydroxylysine residues glycosylated to total hydroxylysine residues in each of these molecules is calculated to be 86.4, 92.0 and 95.1% for human, bovine and mouse C1q respectively and is comparable with each other. The percentages of hydroxylysine residues resistant to periodate oxidation to total hydroxylysine residues in these molecules were 61.1, 65.3 and 74.3% for human, bovine and mouse C1q respectively and were significantly lower than those estimated by the direct quantification of hydroxylysine-glycosides after the alkaline hydrolysis of these molecules.
