The specificity of endothelial cell leukocyte adhesion molecule-1, ELAM-1, for binding to a panel of carbohydrate structures was determined by a sensitive cell binding assay with immobilized synthetic glycoconjugates. ELAM-1 cDNA transfectants were found to bind Sialyl Lea (sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose II) or sialylated Lewis a antigen (NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3(Fuc alpha 1-4)GlcNAc), as well as or slightly better than Sialyl Lex (sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose III) or sialylated Lewis X antigen (NeuAc alpha 2-3 Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc). A monoclonal antibody, HECA-452, which has been identified recently as recognizing ELAM-1 ligands in addition to those containing Sialyl Lex, was also found to bind both Sialyl Lex and Sialyl Lea. Hard sphere exo-anomeric (HSEA) calculations were performed on these two hexasaccharides. The conformations indicate that Sialyl Lea and Sialyl Lex show a high degree of similarity in both the nonreducing and reducing termini. As Lea and Lex show much weaker reactivity, the determinants recognized by ELAM-1 and HECA-452 probably involve neuraminic acid and fucose residues which on one face of both Sialyl Lex and Sialyl Lea can be similarly positioned. The finding that Sialyl Lea is a potent ligand for ELAM-1 is important, as circulating Sialyl Lea and Sialyl Lex containing mucins which are elevated in the serum of many cancer patients may block leukocyte interactions with ELAM-1 and may contribute to the pathological immunodepression observed in these patients.  相似文献

The oligosaccharides present in the milk of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana africana), collected 4 days post partum, were separated by size exclusion-, anion exchange- and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before characterisation by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Neutral and acidic oligosaccharides were identified. Neutral oligosaccharides characterised were isoglobotriose, Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc and a novel oligosaccharide that has not been reported in the milk or colostrum of any other mammal: Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc. Acidic oligosaccharides that are also found in the milk of Asian elephant were Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc and Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3){Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)}Gal(beta1-4)Glc, while Neu5Gc(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc and Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3){Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)}Gal(beta1-4)Glc have not been found in Asian elephant milk. The oligosaccharides characterised contained both alpha(2-3)- and alpha(2-6)-linked Neu5Ac residues. They also contain only the type II chain, as found in most non-human, eutherian mammals.  相似文献

Carbohydrates were extracted from the milk of a beluga, Delphinopterus leucas (family Odontoceti), and two Minke whales, Balaenoptera acutorostrata (Family Mysticeti), sampled late in their respective lactation periods. Free oligosaccharides were separated by gel filtration and then neutral oligosaccharides were purified by preparative thin layer chromatography and gel filtration, while acidic oligosaccharides were purified by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Their structures were determined by 1H-NMR. In one of the Minke whale milk samples, lactose was a dominant saccharide, with Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)Glc(2'-fucosyllactose), Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc(lacto-N-neotetraose), GalNAc(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc(A-tetrasaccharide), Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (para lacto-N-neohexaose), Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (sialyl lacto-N-neotetraose), Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (LST c) and Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (sialyl para lacto-N-neohexaose) also being found in the milk. The second Minke whale sample contained similar amounts of lactose, 2'-fucosyllactose and A-tetrasaccharide, but no free sialyl oligosaccharides. Sialyl lacto-N-neotetraose and sialyl para lacto-N-neohexaose are novel oligosaccharides which have not been previously reported from any mammalian milk or colostrum. These and other oligosaccharides of Minke whale milk may have biological significance as anti-infection factors, protecting the suckling young against bacteria and viruses. The lactose of Minke whale milk could be a source of energy for them. The beluga whale milk contained trace amounts of Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc(3'-N-acetylneuraminyllactose), but the question of whether it contained free lactose could not be clarified. Therefore, lactose may not be a source of energy for suckling beluga whales.  相似文献

Milk of an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), collected at 11 days post partum, contained 91 g/L of hexose and 3 g/L of sialic acid. The dominant saccharide in this milk sample was lactose, but it also contained isoglobotriose (Glc(alpha1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc) as well as a variety of sialyl oligosaccharides. The sialyl oligosaccharides were separated from neutral saccharides by anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and successive gel chromatography on Bio Gel P-2. They were purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an Amide-80 column and characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Their structures were determined to be those of 3'-sialyllactose, 6'-sialyllactose, monofucosyl monosialyl lactose (Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]Glc), sialyl lacto-N-neotetraose c (LST c), galactosyl monosialyl lacto-N-neohexaose, galactosyl monofucosyl monosialyl lacto-N-neohexaose and three novel oligosaccharides as follows: Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, Neu5Ac(alpha2-6)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc, and Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc. The higher oligosaccharides contained only the type II chain (Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc); this finding differed from previously published data on Asian elephant milk oligosaccharides.  相似文献

Sialyl Lewis x (sLe(x)) is an established selectin ligand occurring on N- and O-linked glycans. Using a completely enzymic approach starting from p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminide (GalNAc(alpha1-pNp as core substrate, the sLe(x)-oligosaccharide Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(bet a1-3)]GalNAc(alpha1-pNp, representing the O-linked form, was synthesized in an overall yield of 32%. In a first step, Gal(beta1-3)GalNAc(alpha1-pNp was prepared in a yield of 52% using UDP-Gal and an enriched preparation of beta3-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.122) from rat liver. UDP-GlcNAc and a recombinant affinity-purified preparation of core 2 beta6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.102) fused to Protein A were used to branch the core 1 structure, affording GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc(alpha1-pNp in a yield of >85%. The core 2 structure was galactosylated using UDP-Gal and purified human milk beta4-galactosyltransferase 1 (EC 2.4.1.38) (yield of >85%), then sialylated using CMP-Neu5Ac and purified recombinant alpha3-sialyltransferase 3 (EC 2.4.99.X) (yield of 87%), and finally fucosylated using GDP-Fuc and recombinant human alpha3-fucosyltransferase 6 (EC 2.4.1.152) produced in Pichia pastoris (yield of 100%). Overall 1.5 micromol of product was prepared. MALDI TOF mass spectra, and 1D and 2D TOCSY and ROESY 1H NMR analysis confirmed the obtained structure.  相似文献

Recently we identified sialyl 6-sulfo Le(x) as a major L-selectin ligand on high endothelial venules of human peripheral lymph nodes. In this study we investigated the ligand activity of sialyl 6-sulfo Le(x) to E- and P-selectins and compared it with the binding activity of conventional sialyl Le(x), by using cultured human lymphoid cells expressing both carbohydrate determinants. The results of the recombinant selectin binding studies and the nonstatic monolayer cell adhesion assays indicated that both sialyl 6-sulfo Le(x) and conventional sialyl Le(x) served as ligand for E- and P-selectins, while L-selectin was quite specific to sialyl 6-sulfo Le(x). Anti-PSGL-1 antibodies as well as O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase treatment almost completely abrogated the binding of P-selectin but barely affected the binding of E-selectin, indicating that these carbohydrate determinants carried by O-glycans of PSGL-1 selectively serves as a ligand for P-selectin, while the ligand for E-selectin is not restricted to PSGL-1 nor to O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase-sensitive glycans. The binding of L-selectin was markedly reduced by O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase treatment but only minimally affected by anti-PSGL-1 antibodies, indicating that O-glycans carrying sialyl 6-sulfo Le(x) were the major L-selectin ligands, while PSGL-1 was only a minor core protein for L-selectin in these cells. These results indicated that each member of the selectin family has a distinct ligand binding specificity.  相似文献

L-selectin mediates lymphocyte homing by facilitating lymphocyte adhesion to addressins expressed in the high endothelial venules (HEV) of secondary lymphoid organs. Peripheral node addressin recognized by the MECA-79 antibody is apparently part of the L-selectin ligand, but its chemical nature has been undefined. We now identify a sulfated extended core1 mucin-type O-glycan, Gal beta 1-->4(sulfo-->6)GlcNAc beta 1-->3Gal beta 1-->3GalNAc, as the MECA-79 epitope. Molecular cloning of a HEV-expressed core1-beta 1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (Core1-beta 3GlcNAcT) enabled the construction of the 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis x on extended core1 O-glycans, recapitulating the potent L-selectin-mediated, shear-dependent adhesion observed with novel L-selectin ligands derived from core2 beta1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-I null mice. These results identify Core1-beta 3GlcNAcT and its cognate extended core1 O-glycans as essential participants in the expression of the MECA-79-positive, HEV-specific L-selectin ligands required for lymphocyte homing.  相似文献

Starting from a tumor-associated synthetic MUC1-derived peptide MUC1a' and using a completely enzymatic approach for the synthesis of the core-2 sialyl Lewis X glycopart, the following glycopeptide was synthesized: AHGV[Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)[Fuc(alpha1-3)]GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc(alpha1-O)]TSAPDTR. First, polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 was used to site-specifically glycosylate MUC1a' to give MUC1a'-GalNAc. Then, in a one-pot reaction employing beta-galactosidase and core-2 beta6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase the core-2 O-glycan structure was prepared. The core-2 structure was then sequentially galactosylated, sialylated, and fucosylated by making use of beta4-galactosyltransferase 1, alpha3-sialyltransferase 3, and alpha3-fucosyltransferase 3, respectively, resulting in the sialyl Lewis X glycopeptide. The overall yield of the final compound was 23% (3.2 mg, 1.4 micromol). During the synthesis three intermediate glycopeptides containing O-linked GalNAc, Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc, and Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc, respectively, were isolated in mg quantities. All products were characterized by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy.  相似文献

In the present study we show that the H (0) blood group determinant Fuc alpha1-2Gal beta1-4GlcNAc beta1-R is present on N-linked glycans of soluble human L-selectin recombinantly expressed in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. The glycans were isolated using complementary HPLC techniques and characterized by a combination of exoglycosidase digestion and mass spectrometry. The linkage of the fucose residues was determined by incubation of the glycans with specific fucosidases. The H blood determinant Fuc alpha1-2Gal beta1-4GlcNAc beta1 was detected for bi-, 2,4 branched tri- and tetraantennary structures. To our knowledge, the proposed oligosaccharide structures represent a new glycosylation motif for recombinant glycoproteins expressed on BHK cells.  相似文献

Sialyl oligosaccharides were separated from two samples of Japanese black bear milk by extraction with chloroform/methanol, gel filtration on Bio Gel P-2, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a TSK gel Amido-80 column. They were characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The structures of four sialyl oligosaccharides separated from the milk were the following:
Neu5Ac(α2-3)Gal(β1-4)Glc
Neu5Ac(α2-6)Gal(β1-4)GlcNAc(β1-3) Gal(α1-3)Gal(β1-4)[Fuc(α1-3)]GlcNAc(β1-6) Gal(β1-4)Glc

A comparative study of thin carbohydrate specificity of the lectin from the bark of laburnum Laburnum anagyroides (LABA) and fucolectin from asparagus pea Tetragonolobus purpureus (TPA) was performed using inhibition of agglutination of the complex formed by H-active neoglycoprotein and nanoparticles of colloidal gold. Both lectins bound most strongly the H type 2 oligosaccharides comprising O-glycanes; however, TPA was almost unable to discriminate between them. LABA bound more weakly the H type 6 trisaccharide (Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-4Glc) and difucosyllactose (Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-4[Fuc alpha 1-3]Glc), a glucoanalogue of the Le(y) antigen, and, even more weakly, the Le(a) pentasaccharide lacto-N-fucopentaose II (Gal beta 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc). However, LABA did not bind the antigens Le(b), Le(c), and Le(d), very poorly interacted with the terminal Le(x), and somewhat more strongly bound the internal Le(x). The lectin also had a hydrophobic binding site. Both lectins exhibited a cluster effect with polymeric ligands (neoglycoproteins).  相似文献

Poly-N-acetyllactosamine extension has been found in O-glycans in addition to N-glycans and glycosphingolipids. Attempts were made in HL-60 and K562 cells to determine the amount of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycans in the major sialoglycoprotein, leukosialin. Leukosialin was immunoprecipitated from [3H]glucosamine-labeled HL-60 and K562 cells. Glycopeptides were prepared by Pronase digestion, and O-glycan-containing glycopeptides were isolated by affinity chromatography using Jacalin-agarose. The glycopeptides bound to Jacalin-agarose and those unbound were treated with alkaline borohydride, and the released O-glycans were fractionated by Bio-Gel P-4 filtration. Sequential glycosidase digestion of the O-glycans, with or without pretreatment by fucosidase or neuraminidase, revealed the following conclusions. 1) Leukosialin from HL-60 cells contains about 1-2 poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycan chains/molecule. 2) About 50% of these poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycans contain sialyl Le(x) termini, NeuNAc alpha 2-->3Gal beta 1-->4 (Fuc alpha 1-->3)GlcNAc beta 1-->R. The amount of sialyl Le(x) structure in leukosialin is roughly equivalent to that on cell surfaces of HL-60 cells. 3) Leukosialin from K562 cells, on the other hand, contains no detectable amount of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycans. 4) The presence of poly-N-acetyllactosamine in O-glycans is dependent on the core 2 beta 1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase. 5) Jacalin-agarose binds to sialylated small oligosaccharides such as NeuNAc alpha 2-->3Gal beta 1-->3(NeuNAc alpha 2-->6) GalNAc but not the hexasaccharide NeuNAc alpha 2-->3Gal beta 1-->3(NeuNAc alpha 2-->3Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc beta 1-->6) GalNAc. These results indicate that the formation of polylactosaminyl O-glycans and sialyl Le(x) structure in O-glycans is dependent on the core 2 formation.  相似文献

Lymphocyte homing is initiated by the binding of L-selectin on lymphocytes to its ligands on high endothelial venules (HEV). Sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X is a major capping group of L-selectin ligands. N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) 6-sulfation is essential for the ligand activity, and is catalyzed by GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferases (GlcNAc6STs) of which GlcNAc6ST-1 and GlcNAc6ST-2 are expressed in HEV. Here, we report that mice deficient in GlcNAc6ST-1 were impaired in the elaboration of sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X in HEV and that an epitope of L-selectin ligands recognized by the MECA-79 anti-body was greatly reduced or abolished in the abluminal aspect of HEV. Lymphocyte homing to peripheral lymph nodes, mesenteric lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches was significantly reduced in GlcNAc6ST-1 null mice. These results demonstrate that GlcNAc6ST-1 is involved in lymphocyte homing in vivo, and indicate that GlcNAc6ST-1 and -2 play complementary roles. The importance of GlcNAc6ST-1 is particularly high-lighted by its involvement in lymphocyte homing to Peyer's patches where GlcNAc6ST-2 expression is undetectable.  相似文献

The structure of a nonasaccharide and of two decasaccharides isolated from human milk has been investigated by using methylation, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and 1H-/13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The structures of these oligosaccharides were: trifucosyllacto-N-hexaose; Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-3(Fuc alpha 1-4)GlcNAc beta 1-3[Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-6]Gal beta 1-4Glc, difucosyllacto-N-octaoses; Gal beta 1-3(Fuc alpha 1-4)GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-6[Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc beta 1-3]Gal beta 1-4Glc and Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-6[Fuc alpha 1-3 Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc beta 1-3]Gal beta 1-4Glc. The two decasaccharides possess a new type of core structure proposed to be named iso-lacto-N-octaose.  相似文献

Two trisaccharides, two tetrasaccharides, one penta-, one hexa-, two hepta-, one deca- and two undeca-saccharides were isolated from several Japanese black bear milk samples by chloroform/methanol extraction, gel filtration and preparative thin-layer chromatography. The oligosaccharides were characterized by 1H-NMR as follows: Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (alpha 3'-galactosyllactose), Fuc(alpha 1-2)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (2'-fucosyllactose), Gal(alpha 1-3)(Fuc(alpha 1-2))Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (B-tetrasaccharide), Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)(Fuc(alpha 1-3))Glc, Gal(alpha 1-3)[Fuc(alpha 1-2)]Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]Glc (B-pentasaccharide), Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (monofucosylhexasaccharide), Gal(alpha 1-3)[Fuc(alpha 1-2)]Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (difucosylheptasaccharide), Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]Glc (difucosylheptasaccharide), Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-3)[Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-6)]Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (difucosyldecasaccharide), Gal(alpha 1-3)[Fuc(alpha 1-2)]Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-3)[Gal(alpha 1-3) Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-6)]Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (trifucosylundecasaccharide), Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-3)[Gal(alpha 1-3)[Fuc(alpha 1-2)]Gal(beta 1-4)[Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-6)]Gal(beta 1-4)Glc (trifucosylundecasaccharide). Lactose was present only in trace amounts. B-pentasaccharide was a dominant saccharide in early lactation milk, while alpha 3'-galactosyllactose was dominant in milk, later. The milk oligosaccharides of the Japanese black bear were compared with those of the Ezo brown bear.  相似文献

We demonstrate an additional step and a positive feedback loop in leukocyte accumulation on inflamed endothelium. Leukocytes in shear flow bind to adherent leukocytes through L-selectin/ligand interactions and subsequently bind downstream and roll on inflamed endothelium, purified E-selectin, P-selectin, L-selectin, VCAM-1, or peripheral node addressin. Thus adherent leukocytes nucleate formation of strings of rolling cells and synergistically enhance leukocyte accumulation. Neutrophils, monocytes, and activated T cell lines, but not peripheral blood T lymphocytes, tether to each other through L-selectin. L- selectin is not involved in direct binding to either E- or P-selectin and is not a major counterreceptor of endothelial selectins. Leukocyte- leukocyte tethers are more tolerant to high shear than direct tethers to endothelial selectins and, like other L-selectin-mediated interactions, require a shear threshold. Synergism between leukocyte- leukocyte and leukocyte-endothelial interactions introduces novel regulatory mechanisms in recruitment of leukocytes in inflammation.  相似文献

Carbohydrates were extracted from hooded seal milk, Crystophora cristata (family Phocidae). Free oligosaccharides were separated by gel filtration and then purified by ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and preparative thin layer or paper chromatography and their structures determined by 1H-NMR. The hooded seal milk was found to contain inositol and at least nine oligosaccharides, most of which had lacto-N-neotetraose or lacto-N-neohexaose as core units, similar to those in milk of other species of Carnivora such as bears (Ursidae). Their structures were as follows: Gal(beta1-4)Glc (lactose); Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (2'-fucosyllactose); Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (lacto-N-neotetraose); Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (lacto-N-fucopentaose IV); Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(1-4)Glc (lacto-N-neohexaose); Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc (monofucosyl lacto-N-neohexaose a); Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc (monofucosyl lacto-N-neohexaose b); Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-4)Glc (difucosyl lacto-N-neohexaose); Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (para lacto-N-neohexaose); Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc (monofucosyl para lacto-N-neohexaose). Milk of the Australian fur seal, Arctophalus pusillus doriferus (family Otariidae) contained inositol but no lactose or free oligosaccharides. These results, therefore, support the hypothesis that the milk of otariids, unlike that of phocids, contains no free reducing saccharides.  相似文献

Polylactosamines Neu5Ac alpha2-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex and Neu5Ac alpha2-3'LNbeta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex [Lex, Gal beta1-4(Fuc alpha1-3)GlcNAc; LN, Gal beta1-4GlcNAc] decorate selectin counterreceptors in human HL-60 cells. Here, we show that HL-60 cell lysates catalyze distal alpha3-sialylation of LNbeta1-3'LNbeta1-3'LN and LNbeta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex efficiently, outlining two potential sets of biosynthetic pathways leading to the selectin ligands. In one set, alpha3-sialylation precedes internal fucosylation of the polylactosamine backbone, whereas in the other one, internal fucosylation is initiated before alpha3-sialylation. In contrast to alpha3-sialylation, LNbeta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex was alpha6-sialylated much less efficiently than LNbeta1-3'LNbeta1-3'LN by HL-60 cell lysates. Hence, internal fucosylation may regulate the extent of alpha6-sialylation of polylactosamines in these cells.  相似文献

Granule membrane protein-140 (GMP-140) is an inducible receptor for myeloid leukocytes on activated platelets and endothelium. Like other selectins, GMP-140 recognizes specific oligosaccharide ligands. However, prior data on the nature of these ligands are contradictory. We investigated the structural features required for ligand interaction with GMP-140 using purified GMP-140, cells naturally expressing specific oligosaccharides, and cells expressing cloned glycosyltransferases. Like the related selectin endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), GMP-140 recognizes alpha(2-3)sialylated, alpha(1-3)fucosylated lactosaminoglycans on both myeloid and nonmyeloid cells, including the sequence Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNac beta-R (sialyl Lewis x). Recognition requires sialic acid, because cells expressing large amounts of Lewis x, but not sialyl Lewis x, do not interact with GMP-140. Although sialyl Lewis x is expressed by both myeloid HL-60 cells and CHO cells transfected with an alpha 1-3/4 fucosyltransferase, GMP-140 binds with significantly higher affinity to HL-60 cells. Thus, the sialyl Lewis x tetrasaccharide may require additional structural modifications or specific presentations in order for leukocytes in flowing blood to interact rapidly and with high affinity to GMP-140 on activated platelets or endothelium.  相似文献
