Plants are regarded as a promising system for the production of
heterologous proteins. However, little is known about the influence of
plant development and growth conditions on N-linked glycosylation. To investigate this, transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv Samsun NN) plants expressing a mouse immunoglobulin G
antibody (MGR48) were grown in climate rooms under four different climate conditions, i.e. at 15°C and 25°C and at either low or high
light conditions. N-glycans on plantibodies and soluble
endogenous proteins were analyzed with matrix-assisted laser desorption
ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS).
Antibodies isolated from young leaves have a relatively high amount of
high- mannose glycans compared with antibodies from older leaves, which
contain more terminal N-acetylglucosamine. Senescence
was shown to affect the glycosylation profile of endogenous proteins.
The relative amount of N-glycans without terminal
N-acetylglucosamine increased with leaf age. Major
differences were observed between glycan structures on endogenous
proteins versus those on antibodies, probably to be attributed to their
subcellular localization. The relatively high percentage of antibody
N-glycan lacking both xylose and fucose is
interesting.
