Sulfated N-linked carbohydrate chains in porcine thyroglobulin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
N-linked carbohydrate chains of porcine thyroglobulin were released by the hydrazinolysis procedure. The resulting mixture of oligosaccharide-alditols was fractionated by high-voltage paper electrophoresis, the acidic fractions were further separated by high-performance liquid chromatography on Lichrosorb-NH2, and analyzed by 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and, partially, by permethylation analysis. Of the acidic oligosaccharide-alditols, the following sulfated carbohydrate chains could be identified: NeuAc alpha 2----6Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----2Man alpha 1----3[(SO3Na----3)Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta1----2-Mana alpha 1----6]Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4[Fuc alpha 1----6]GlcNAc-ol and NeuAc alpha 2----6Gal beta 1----4(SO3Na----)0-1 GlcNAc beta 1----2-Man alpha 1----3[NeuAc alpha 2----6Gal beta 1----4(SO3Na----6)1-0GlcNAc beta 1----2Man alpha 1----6]Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4[Fuc alpha 1----6]GlcNAc- ol. The sulfated structural elements for porcine thyroglobulin form novel details of N-linked carbohydrate chains. They contribute to the fine structure of these oligosaccharides and are another type of expression of microheterogeneity. 相似文献

Sequential biosynthesis of sulfated and/or sialylated Lewis x determinants by transferases of the human bronchial mucosa. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The structural determination of sulfated carbohydrate chains from a cystic fibrosis patient respiratory mucins has shown that sulfation may occur either on the C-3 of the terminal Gal, or on the C-6 of the GlcNAc residue of a terminal N -acetyllactosamine unit. The two enzymes responsible for the transfer of sulfate from PAPS to the C-3 of Gal or to the C-6 of GlcNAc residues have been characterized in human respiratory mucosa. These two enzymes, in conjunction with fucosyl- and sialyltransferases, allow the synthesis of different sulfated epitopes such as 3-sulfo Lewis x (with a 3- O -sulfated Gal), 6-sulfo Lewis x and 6-sulfo-sialyl Lewis x (with a 6- O -sulfated GlcNAc). In the present study, the sequential biosynthesis of these epitopes has been investigated using microsomal fractions from human respiratory mucosa incubated with radiolabeled nucleotide-sugars or PAPS, and oligosaccharide acceptors, mostly prepared from human respiratory mucins. The structures of the radiolabeled products have been determined by their coelution in HPAEC with known oligosaccharidic standards. In the biosynthesis of 6- O -sulfated carbohydrate chains by the human respiratory mucosa, the 6- O -sulfation of a terminal nonreducing GlcNAc residue precedes beta1-4-galactosylation, alpha2-3-sialylation (to generate 6-sulfo-sialyl- N -acetyllactosamine), and alpha1-3-fucosylation (to generate the 6-sulfo-sialyl Lewis x determinant). The 3- O -sulfation of a terminal N -acetyllactosamine may occur if this carbohydrate unit is not substituted. Once an N -acetyllactosamine unit is synthesized, alpha1-3-fucosylation of the GlcNAc residue to generate a Lewis x structure blocks any further substitution. Therefore, the present study defines the pathways for the biosynthesis of Lewis x, sialyl Lewis x, sulfo Lewis x, and 6-sulfo-sialyl Lewis x determinants in the human bronchial mucosa. 相似文献

Sulfated oligosaccharides isolated from the respiratory mucins of a secretor patient suffering from chronic bronchitis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The most acidic carbohydrate chains released by alkaline borohydride treatment of the bulk of airway mucins secreted by a patient (blood group O, secretor) suffering from a mildly infected chronic bronchitis have been fractionated using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) according to a protocol already described [Lo-Guidice et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269 (1994) 18794] and were analyzed using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser-adsorption-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry. Many fractions corresponded to mixtures of oligosaccharides. This confirmed the wide diversity of the post-translational processes involved in the biosynthesis of airway mucins, which had already been observed in bronchial diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis (CF). Seven fractions were directly purified by HPAEC, allowing their structural determination. Six of them corresponded to 3-O-sulfated oligosaccharide chains terminated by a sulfated N-acetyllactosamine, a sulfated Lewis X or a sulfated Lewis A determinant, and the last one corresponded to a 6-O-sulfated chain terminated by a sulfated H-2 determinant. Three oligosaccharides had core type 2 and the other four had core type 4: IIIc2-9: Gal(beta1-3)[HSO(3)-3-Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol, IIIc2-10: Gal(beta1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)[HSO(3)-6-]GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol, IIIc2-4: Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-3)[HSO(3)-3-Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol, IIIc2-8: Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-3)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[HSO(3)-3-Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol, IIIc2-7: Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-3)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Gal(beta1-4)[HSO(3)-6-]GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol, IIIc2-3: Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-3)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[HSO(3)-3-Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol, IIIc1-4: Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-3)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[HSO(3) -3-Gal(beta1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-4)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol. Like previous data concerning the airway mucins from another patient (blood group O and non-secretor) suffering from chronic bronchitis [Lo-Guidice et al., Glycoconj. J. 14 (1997) 113], no disialylated oligosaccharide and no sialylated and sulfated oligosaccharide bearing sialyl Lewis X epitope could be isolated. This is in contrast with the data obtained with the airway mucins secreted by the patient severely infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and suffering from CF, suggesting that important differences occur in the biosynthesis of airway mucins secreted by patients suffering from different bronchial diseases with or without severe infection. 相似文献

We have previously cloned keratan sulfate Gal-6-sulfotransferase (KSGal6ST), which transfers sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to position 6 of Gal residue of keratan sulfate. In this study, we examined whether KSGal6ST could transfer sulfate to sialyl N -acetyllactosamine oligosaccharides or fetuin oligo-saccharides. KSGal6ST expressed in COS-7 cells catalyzed transfer of sulfate to NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc (3'SLN), NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Gl cNAc (SL1L1), NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(6-sulfo)GlcNAcbeta1-3(6-sulfo) Galbeta1-4(6-su lfo)GlcNAc (SL2L4), and their desialylated derivatives except for Galbeta1-4GlcNAc, but not to NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc (SLex). When the sulfated product formed from 3'SLN was degraded with neuraminidase and reduced with NaBH(4), the resulting sulfated disaccharide alditol showed the same retention time in SAX-HPLC as that of [(3)H]Gal(6SO(4))beta1-4GlcNAc-ol. KSGal6ST also catalyzed sulfation of fetuin. When the sulfated oligosaccharides released from the sulfated fetuin after sequential digestion with proteinase and neuraminidase were subjected to a reaction sequence of hydrazin-olysis, deaminative cleavage and NaBH(4)reduction, the major product was co-eluted with [(3)H]Gal(6SO(4))beta1-4anhydromannitol in SAX-HPLC. These observations show that KSGal6ST is able to sulfate position 6 of Gal residue of 3'SLN and fetuin oligosaccharides. The relative rates of the sulfation of SL2L4 was much higher than the rate of the sulfation of keratan sulfate. These results suggest that KSGal6ST may function in the sulfation of sialyl N -acetyllactosamine oligosaccharide chains attached to glycoproteins. 相似文献

We determined whether the two major structural modifications, i.e. phosphorylation and sulfation of the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage region (GlcAbeta1-3Galbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Xylbeta1), govern the specificity of the glycosyltransferases responsible for the biosynthesis of the tetrasaccharide primer. We analyzed the influence of C-2 phosphorylation of Xyl residue on human beta1,4-galactosyltransferase 7 (GalT-I), which catalyzes the transfer of Gal onto Xyl, and we evaluated the consequences of C-4/C-6 sulfation of Galbeta1-3Gal (Gal2-Gal1) on the activity and specificity of beta1,3-glucuronosyltransferase I (GlcAT-I) responsible for the completion of the glycosaminoglycan primer sequence. For this purpose, a series of phosphorylated xylosides and sulfated C-4 and C-6 analogs of Galbeta1-3Gal was synthesized and tested as potential substrates for the recombinant enzymes. Our results revealed that the phosphorylation of Xyl on the C-2 position prevents GalT-I activity, suggesting that this modification may occur once Gal is attached to the Xyl residue of the nascent oligosaccharide linkage. On the other hand, we showed that sulfation on C-6 position of Gal1 of the Galbeta1-3Gal analog markedly enhanced GlcAT-I catalytic efficiency and we demonstrated the importance of Trp243 and Lys317 residues of Gal1 binding site for enzyme activity. In contrast, we found that GlcAT-I was unable to use digalactosides as acceptor substrates when Gal1 was sulfated on C-4 position or when Gal2 was sulfated on both C-4 and C-6 positions. Altogether, we demonstrated that oligosaccharide modifications of the linkage region control the specificity of the glycosyltransferases, a process that may regulate maturation and processing of glycosaminoglycan chains. 相似文献

A preparation of porcine stage 14 intestinal heparin, which contains Ser as a predominant amino acid, was used for isolation of the carbohydrate-protein linkage region of heparin. Two glycoserines were isolated in a molar ratio of 96:4 after an exhaustive digestion with a mixture of bacterial heparinase and heparitinases. Their structures were determined by composition analysis, heparitinase digestion, co-chromatography with an authentic glycoserine on high performance liquid chromatography, and by 500-MHz one- and two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. The structure of the major one is delta GlcA beta 1-3Gal beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Xyl beta 1-O-Ser and that of the minor is delta GlcA beta 1-4GlcNAc(6-O-sulfate) alpha 1-4GlcA beta 1-3Gal beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Xyl beta 1-O-Ser. The novel 6-O-sulfated GlcNAc residue was demonstrated to occur in the vicinity of the carbohydrate-protein linkage region. The Gal residues were nonsulfated, in contrast to the sulfated Gal structures recently discovered in the carbohydrate-protein linkage region of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. The structural features are discussed in relation to biosynthetic mechanisms of the heparin glycosaminoglycans. 相似文献

We have established a unique enzymatic approach for obtaining sulfated disaccharides using Bacillus circulans beta-D-galactosidase-catalyzed 6-sulfo galactosylation. When 4-methyl umbelliferyl 6-sulfo beta-D-galactopyranoside (S6Gal beta-4MU) was used as a donor, the enzyme induced transfer of 6-sulfo galactosyl residue to GlcNAc acceptor. As a result, the desired compound 6'-sulfo N-acetyllactosamine (S6Gal beta1-4GlcNAc) and its positional isomer 6'-sulfo N-acetylisolactosamine (S6Gal beta1-6GlcNAc) were observed by HPAEC-PAD, in 49% total yield based on the donor added, and in a molar ratio of 1:3.5. With a glucose acceptor, the regioselectivity was substantially changed and S6Gal beta1-2Glc was mainly produced along with beta-(1-1)alpha, beta-(1-3), beta-(1-6) isomers in 74% total yield. When methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside (Glc alpha-OMe) was an acceptor, the enzyme also formed mainly S6Gal beta1-2Glc alpha-OMe with its beta-(1-6)-linked isomer in 41% total yield based on the donor added. In both cases, it led to the predominant formation of beta-(1-2)-linked disaccharides. In contrast, with the corresponding methyl beta-D-glucopyranoside (Glc beta-OMe) acceptor, S6Gal beta1-3Glc beta-OMe and S6Gal beta1-6Glc beta-OMe were formed in a low total yield of 12%. These results indicate that the regioselectivity and efficiency on the beta-D-galactosidase-mediated transfer reaction significantly depend on the anomeric configuration in the glucosyl acceptors. 相似文献

Sulphated N-linked carbohydrate chains isolated from recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator expressed in mouse epithelial (C127) cells were analysed as oligosaccharide alditols by methylation analysis, liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry, and one- and two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the major component has the following novel structure: NeuAc-alpha 2-6Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-2[NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1- 4GlcNAc beta 1-4]-Man alpha 1-3[NeuAc alpha 2-3(SO4-6)Gal beta 1- 4-GlcNAc beta 1-2Man alpha 1-6]-Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1- 4[Fuc alpha 1-6]GlcNAc-o1. 相似文献

Structural characterization of neutral oligosaccharides of human midcycle cervical mucin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
It was previously shown that alkaline borohydride treatment of human midcycle cervical mucin releases a heterogeneous population of reduced neutral, sialylated, and sulfated oligosaccharides (Yurewicz, E. C., and Moghissi, K. S. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 11895-11905). Three major neutral oligosaccharides were isolated with approximate compositions of Fuc:Gal:GlcNAc:N-acetylgalactosaminitol (GalNAcol) = 0:2:1:1 (A1), 1:2:1:1 (A2), and 2:2:1:1 (A3). They comprised roughly 21%, 13%, and 8% of human cervical mucin oligosaccharide chains, respectively. In the present report, each was analyzed by periodate oxidation, methylation, and sequential degradation with glycosidases. A1 was shown to contain more than one component, but structural analyses clearly demonstrated the presence of one predominant (75%) tetrasaccharide. The proposed structure, Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6(Gal beta 1-3)GalNAcol, has previously been found in human gastric, submaxillary, and ovarian cyst mucins in their carbohydrate-to-protein linkage regions. beta-Galactosidase from Aspergillus niger selectively cleaved the Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc linkage in the intact tetrasaccharide. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the Gal beta 1-3GalNAcol linkage required prior removal of the Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-unit attached to 0-6 of GalNAcol. The data for A2 indicated a mixture of two oligosaccharides, Gal beta 1-4,3(Fuc alpha 1-3,4)GlcNAc beta 1-6(Gal beta 1-3)GalNacol and Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-4GlcNac beta 1-6(Gal beta 1-3)-GalNacol, in an approximate molar ratio of 3 to 4:1, respectively. Two structures are consistent with the data obtained for A3: Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-4,3(Fuc alpha 1-3,4)GlcNAc beta 1-6(Gal beta 1-3)GalNAcol and/or Gal beta 1-4,3(Fuc alpha 1-3,4)GlcNac beta 1-6(Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-3)GalNacol. The results indicate that A1 represents the "core" tetrasaccharide of the larger human cervical mucin oligosaccharides A2 and A3. 相似文献

The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides at individual glycosylation sites in human thyrotrophin. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The asparagine-linked carbohydrate structures at each of the three glycosylation sites of human thyrotrophin were investigated by 400 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Highly purified, biologically active human thyrotrophin (hTSH) was dissociated into its subunits hTSH alpha (glycosylated at Asn 52 and Asn 78) and hTSH beta (glycosylated at Asn 23). The alpha-subunit was further treated with trypsin which gave two glycopeptides that were subsequently separated by reverse-phase HPLC and identified by amino acid sequence analysis. The oligosaccharides were liberated from hTSH alpha glycopeptides and from intact hTSH beta by hydrazinolysis, and were fractionated as alditols by anion-exchange and ion-suppression amine-adsorption HPLC preparatory to structural analysis. The N-glycans present on hTSH were mainly diantennary complex-type structures with a common Man alpha 1-3 branch that terminated with 4-O-sulphated GalNAc. The Man alpha 1-6 branch displayed structural heterogeneity in the terminal sequence, with chiefly alpha 2-3-sialylated Gal and/or 4-O-sulphated GalNAc. The relative amounts of the two major complete diantennary oligosaccharides and their core fucosylation differed according to glycosylation site; the sulphated/sialylated diantennary oligosaccharide was most abundant at the two sites on the alpha-subunit, whereas the disulphated, core-fucosylated oligosaccharide was more plentiful on the beta-subunit. Some interesting structural features, not previously reported for the N-glycans of hTSH, included 3-O-sulphated galactose (SO4-3Gal) and peripheral fucose (Fuc alpha 1-3GlcNAc) in the Man alpha 1-6 branch of some diantennary structures; the former suggests the presence of a hitherto uncharacterized galactose-3-O-sulphotransferase in thyrotroph cells of the human anterior pituitary gland. 相似文献

Adhesion of Mycoplasma pneumoniae to sulfated glycolipids and inhibition by dextran sulfate 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

A virulent strain of Mycoplasma pneumoniae was metabolically labeled with [3H]palmitate and studied for binding to glycolipids and to WiDr human colon adenocarcinoma cells. The organism binds strongly to sulfatide and other sulfated glycolipids, such as seminolipid and lactosylsulfatide which all contain terminal Gal(3SO4) beta 1-residues and weakly to some neolactoseries neutral glycolipids. M. pneumoniae do not bind gangliosides including the sialylneolacto-series and other neutral glycolipids that were tested. Only metabolically active M. pneumoniae cells bind to sulfatide, as binding is maximal in RPMI medium at 37 degrees C and almost completely abolished in nutrient-deficient medium or by keeping the cells at 4 degrees C. Dextran sulfate but not other sulfated or anionic polysaccharides at 10 micrograms/ml completely inhibits binding of M. pneumoniae to purified sulfatide. Dextran sulfate does not inhibit binding to the neolacto-series neutral glycolipids. Dextran sulfate partially inhibits adhesion of M. pneumoniae to cultured human colon adenocarcinoma cells (WiDr). The biological relevance of these data is suggested by our finding that sulfatide occurs in large amounts in human trachea, lung, and WiDr cells. Thus, there are at least two distinct receptors that mediate binding of M. pneumoniae to cells: glycolipids containing terminal Gal(3SO4) beta 1-residues as reported here, and glycoproteins containing terminal NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc sequences (Roberts, D. D., Olson, L. D., Barile, M. F., Ginsburg, V., and Krivan, H. C. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 9289-9293). 相似文献

Spatial structures of the oligosaccharide parts of globotriaosylceramide, Gal(alpha 1-4)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer (Cer = ceramide) and isoglobotriaosylceramide, Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer were investigated in (C2H3)2SO solution by means of laboratory and rotating frame NOE, hydroxyl protons being used as long-range sensors defining the distance constraints. Both oligosaccharides were found to exist in more than one conformation interconverting rapidly on the NMR time scale. The conformation of the Gal(alpha 1-4)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc beta trisaccharide dissolved in 2H2O appeared to be the same as that of the corresponding part of the glycosphingolipid in (C2H3)2SO solution. 相似文献

Toxin A from Clostridium difficile binds to rabbit erythrocyte glycolipids with terminal Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc sequences 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The binding of Toxin A isolated from Clostridium difficile to rabbit erythrocyte glycolipids has been studied. Total lipid extracts from rabbit erythrocytes were subjected to thin-layer chromatography and toxin-binding glycolipids detected by using 125I-labeled Toxin A in a direct binding overlay technique. Two major and several minor toxin-binding glycolipids were detected in rabbit erythrocytes by this method. The results of structural analyses of the major toxin-binding glycolipids were consistent with a pentasaccharide-ceramide (Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc-Cer) and a branched decasaccharide-ceramide (Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3[Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6]Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc-Cer) previously identified as the two most abundant glycolipids in rabbit erythrocytes. 125I-Toxin A binding to these glycolipids could be inhibited by bovine thyroglobulin, monospecific antiserum to the toxin, or by treatment of the glycolipids with alpha-galactosidase. The absence of toxin interaction with isoglobotriaosylceramide (Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc-Cer) isolated from canine intestine suggested that the GlcNAc residue present in the terminal Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GLcNAc sequence common to all known toxin binding glycoconjugates is required for carbohydrate-specific recognition by Toxin A. These observations are consistent with the proposed carbohydrate binding specificity of Toxin A for the nonreducing terminal sequence, Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc. 相似文献

Human serum Krebs von den Lugen-6 (KL-6) antigen is a MUC1 glycoprotein (KL-6/MUC1) recognized by anti-KL-6 monoclonal antibody (KL-6/mAb) and has been utilized as a diagnostic marker for interstitial pneumonia. KL-6/mAb is thought to recognize the specific glycopeptides sequence of MUC1, but the precise glycan structure of the epitope is unclear. In this study, we determined the carbohydrate structures of KL-6/MUC1 to search the carbohydrate epitopes for KL-6/mAb. KL-6/MUC1 was purified from the culture medium of human breast cancer YMB-S cells by KL-6/mAb-affinity chromatography; the O-linked glycan structures were determined in combination with paper electrophoresis, several lectin column chromatographies, sialidase digestion and methanolysis. KL-6/MUC1 contained core 1 and extended core 1 glycans modified with one or two sialic acid/sulfate residues. Based on these structures, several synthetic glycans binding to anti-KL-6/mAb were compared with one another by surface plasmon resonance. Sequentially, related radiolabeled oligosaccharides were enzymatically synthesized and analyzed for binding to a KL-6/mAb-conjugated affinity column. 3'-sialylated, 6'-sulfated LNnT [Neu5Acα2-3(SO(3)(-)-6)Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-4Glc], 3'-sialylated, 6-sulfated core 1 [Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-3(SO(3)(-)-6)GalNAc] and disulfated core 1 SO(3)(-)-3Galβ1-3(SO(3)(-)-6)GalNAc exhibited substantial affinity for KL-6/mAb, and 3'-sulfated core 1 derivatives [SO(3)(-)-3Galβ1-3(±Neu5Acα2-6)GalNAc] and 3'-sialylated core 1 weakly interacted with KL-6/mAb. These results indicated that the possible carbohydrate epitopes of KL-6/mAb involve not only 3'-sialylated core 1 but also novel core 1 and extended core 1 with sulfate and sialic acid residues. Epitope expressing changes with suppression or over-expression of the Gal6ST (Gal 6-O-sulfotransferase) gene, suggesting that Gal6ST is involved in the biosynthesis of the unique epitopes of KL-6/mAb. 相似文献

Identification of UDP-galactose: lactose (lactosylceramide) alpha-4 and beta-3 galactosyltransferases in human kidney 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
P Bailly F Piller J P Cartron Y Leroy B Fournet 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1986,141(1):84-91
Two galactosyltransferases were identified in human kidney microsomes which both transfer galactose from UDP Gal to lactose as well as to lactosylceramide. Using a solubilized and a partially purified enzyme preparation sufficient product could be obtained for detailed structural analysis. The trisaccharide products were isolated by gel permeation chromatography and separated by preparative high performance thin layer chromatography. The anomeric configuration of the transferred galactose was determined by specific glycosidase digestion and the linkage was identified by methylation and gas-liquid-chromatography. The glycolipid products were not separated but analyzed directly, before and after alpha or beta galactosidase digestion, by methylation, hydrolysis and thin layer chromatography. Into both acceptor substrates galactose was incorporated in alpha 1-4 (30%) and beta 1-3 (70%) linkages. The alpha 1-4 galactosyltransferase is responsible for the synthesis of the Pk antigen Gal alpha 1-4 Gal beta 1-4 Glc-ceramide in human kidney. The beta 1-3 galactosyltransferase has not previously been identified. 相似文献

Carbohydrates were extracted from milk of a bearded seal, Erignathus barbatus (Family Phocidae). Free neutral oligosaccharides were separated by gel filtration, anion-exchange chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography, while free acidic oligosaccharides were separated by gel filtration and then purified by ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography. Oligosaccharide structures were determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The structures of the neutral oligosaccharides were as follows; lactose, 2'-fucosyllactose, lacto-N-fucopentaose IV, difucosyl lacto-N-neohexaose and difucosyl decasaccharide which contained a lacto-N-neohexaose unit as well as an additional Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3) unit and two residues of non-reducing Fuc(alpha1-2). The acidic oligosaccharides were thought to contain an Neu5Ac(alpha2-6) residue linked to GlcNAc or a sulfate linked to Gal at OH-3. The sialyl oligosaccharides and sulfated oligosaccharides had a lacto-N-neohexaose unit and two non-reducing Fuc(alpha1-2) residues and some of them had in addition one or two Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3) units. The milk oligosaccharides of the bearded seal were compared to those of the harbour seal, which had been studied previously. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of L-selectin ligands: sulfation of sialyl Lewis x-related oligosaccharides by a family of GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferases 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The leukocyte adhesion molecule L-selectin mediates lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid organs and to certain sites of inflammation. The cognate ligands for L-selectin possess the unusual sulfated tetrasaccharide epitope 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis x (Siaalpha2-->3Galbeta1-->4[Fucalpha1-->3][SO(3)-->6]GlcNAc). Sulfation of GlcNAc within sialyl Lewis x is a crucial modification for L-selectin binding, and thus, the underlying sulfotransferase may be a key modulator of lymphocyte trafficking. Four recently discovered GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferases are the first candidate contributors to the biosynthesis of 6-sulfo sLex in the context of L-selectin ligands. Here we report the in vitro activity of the four GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferases on a panel of synthetic oligosaccharide substrates that comprise structural motifs derived from sialyl Lewis x. Each enzyme preferred a terminal GlcNAc residue, and was impeded by the addition of a beta1,4-linked Gal residue (i.e., terminal LacNAc). Surprisingly, for three of the enzymes, significant activity was observed with sialylated LacNAc, and two of the enzymes were capable of detectable sulfation of GlcNAc in the context of sialyl Lewis x. On the basis of these results, we propose possible pathways for 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis x biosynthesis and suggest that sulfation may be an early committed step. 相似文献

The inception of the acrosome reaction (AR) in the starfish Asterias amurensis is perceived to be strongly associated with sulfated polysaccharide chains derived from an extremely large proteoglycan-like molecule called AR-inducing substance (ARIS), in which one of the sugar fragments, named fragment 1 (Fr. 1), was composed of the repeating units of [-->4]-beta-D-Xylp-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1-->3)-alpha-L-Fucp-4 (SO3-)-(1-->3)- alpha-L-Fucp-4(SO3-)-(1-->4)-alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->)n. In the current study, this sugar chain is inferred to link to the peptide part by O-glycosidic linkage through a sugar chain with different structural features from Fr. 1. This inner sugar portion of ARIS was isolated as Fr. 2 from the sonicated products of pronase digest of ARIS. Fr. 2, which retains AR-inducing activity to an admirable extent and has an apparent molecular size of 400 kDa, is composed of Gal, Xyl, Fuc, GalNAc, and GlcNAc in a molar ratio of 5:1:5:4:2 with O-sulfate substitutions at Gal-4, Gal-2, Gal-2,3 and Gal-2,4 (disulfated), Fuc-4, and GlcNAc-6. The study of Fr. 2 revealed that the major portion of the inner sugar chain of ARIS is composed of the heptasaccharide units of -->3)-Galp-(1-->3)-Fucp-(1-->3)-Galp-(1-->4)-GalNAcp-(1-->4)-GlcNAcp-6(SO3-)-(1-->6)-Galp-4(SO3-)-(1-->4)-GalNAcp-(1-->. This new structure of inner sugar chains of ARIS is elucidated by using electrospray ionization MS along with tandem mass analysis, sugar composition analysis, and methylation analysis of the sugar fragments obtained by acid-catalyzed resin-based partial hydrolysis of Fr. 2. Furthermore, this study corroborates that the sulfate groups are solely liable to the anionic character of ARIS, which ought to be present in the sugar chains of ARIS for its biological activity. 相似文献

Enzymatic alpha 2,3-sialylation of GalNAc has not been described previously, although some glycoconjugates containing alpha 2,3-sialylated GalNAc residues have been reported. In the present experiments, recombinant soluble alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase ST3Gal II efficiently sialylated the X(2) pentasaccharide GalNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, globo-N-tetraose GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc, and the disaccharide GalNAc beta 1-3Gal in vitro. The purified products were identified as Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc, and Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal, respectively, by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, enzymatic degradations, and one- and two-dimensional NMR-spectroscopy. In particular, the presence of the Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc linkage was firmly established in all three products by a long range correlation between Neu5Ac C2 and GalNAc H3 in heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectra. Collectively, the data describe the first successful sialyltransfer reactions to the 3-position of GalNAc in any acceptor. Previously, ST3Gal II has been shown to transfer to the Gal beta 1-3GalNAc determinant. Consequently, the present data show that the enzyme is multifunctional, and could be renamed ST3Gal(NAc) II. In contrast to ST3Gal II, ST3Gal III did not transfer to the X(2) pentasaccharide. The Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc linkage of sialyl X(2) was cleaved by sialidases from Arthrobacter ureafaciens and Clostridium perfringens, but resisted the action of sialidases from Newcastle disease virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Therefore, the latter two enzymes cannot be used to differentiate between Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc and Neu5Ac alpha 2-6GalNAc linkages, as has been assumed previously. 相似文献
