Cytosolic sialidase was purified from rat skeletal muscle, and the purified enzyme migrated as a single band of Mr 43,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electropho-resis. A polyclonal antibody raised against the enzyme inhibited and immunoprecipitated rat liver cytosolic sialidase as well as the muscle enzyme but failed to cross-react with the intralysosomal sialidase of rat liver and membrane sialidases I (synaptosomal) and II (lysosomal) of rat brain. The antibody against brain membrane sialidase I (anti-I) and that against sialidase II (anti-II), which could be useful to discriminate the two enzymes, did not cross-react with the intralysosomal and cytosolic sialidases of liver. Although more than 90% of liver plasma membrane sialidase was immunoprecipitated with anti-I, only 60% of liver lysosomal membrane sialidase was immunoprecipitated with anti-II, the remainder being immunoprecipitated with anti-I. In confirmation of these data, liver lysosomal membrane exhibited two peaks of ganglioside sialidase corresponding to the membrane sialidases I and II on Aminohexyl-Sepharose chromatography while only one peak of ganglioside sialidase corresponding to sialidase I was observed for liver plasma membrane. These results indicate that the four types of rat sialidase are proteins distinct from one another and that the three kinds of antisera described above are useful for discriminating these sialidases qualitatively and probably quantitatively.
