Pectin methylesterase (PME) in jelly fig (Ficus awkeotsang) achenes is an N-glycosylated enzyme responsible for the gelation of jelly curd. A recombinant jelly fig PME was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and confirmed by immunodetection and LC-nanoESI-MS/MS analysis. To identify the N-glycosylation site, native PME and its deglycosylated and recombinant forms, which lacked glycan, were purified and subjected to comparative MALDI-MS mapping of the corresponding tryptic fragments. The results showed that N-glycosylation occurred at Asn(153) of the mature jelly fig PME, the only glycosylation site predicted by its sequence analysis. The major N-glycans released from the native PME by PNGase IF were identified by MS/MS analyses as xylosylated, noncore fucosylated pauci-mannose, and complex-type structures. Molecular modeling of the 3D structure of jelly fig PME indicated that the N-glycan was putatively attached to the back region of the active site of this enzyme.
