In comparisons of [3H]mannose-labelled glycopeptides from chick-embryo fibroblasts infected and transformed with non-defective Prague C Rous-sarcoma virus and from untransformed fibroblasts infected with a transformation-defective derivative of Prague C Rous-sarcoma virus, we have detected transformation-dependent alterations in both the acidic-type and the neutral-type asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of cellular glycoproteins. Pronase-digested glycopeptides were analysed by the combined techniques of gel filtration, exo- and endo-glycosidase digestion and concanavalin A-agarose affinity chromatography. The transformed cell glycoproteins contained more sialic acid and were enriched for more highly branched (versus biantennary) acidic-type structures compared with the untransformed cell glycoproteins, similarly to previously reported transformation-dependent alterations. In addition, the glycopeptides from the virus-transformed cells contained several neutral-type structures that were apparently absent from the untransformed cells: small neutral-type oligosaccharides (Man3GlcNAc2) that were sensitive to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D but resistant to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, and oligosaccharides with the property of 'truncated' precursor oligosaccharides (endoglycosidase-resistant, alpha-mannosidase-sensitive). Endoglycosidase-released oligosaccharides with the properties of hybrid-type structures were derived from the glycoproteins of both transformed and untransformed cells.
