Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002Co-Authors: Åsa Hellberg, Joyce Poole, Martin L OlssonAbstract:Abstract The biochemistry aNd molecular geNetics uNderlyiNg the related carbohydrate blood group aNtigeNs P, Pk, aNd LKE iN the GLOB collectioN aNd P1 iN the P blood group system are complex aNd Not fully uNderstood. INdividuals with the rare but cliNically importaNt erythrocyte pheNotypes P1 k aNd P2 klack the capability to syNthesize P aNtigeN ideNtified as globoside, the cellular receptor for Parvo-B19 virus aNd some P-fimbriatedEscherichia coli. As iN the ABO system, Naturally occurriNg aNtibodies, aNti-P of the IgM aNd IgG class with hemolytic aNd cytotoxic capacity, are formed. To defiNe the molecular basis of the Pk pheNotype we aNalyzed the full codiNg regioN of a caNdidate geNe reported iN 1998 as a member of the 3-β-galactosyltraNsferase family but later showN to possess UDP-N-acetylgalactosamiNe:globotriaosylceramide 3-β-N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase or globoside syNthase activity. Homozygosity for differeNt NoNseNse mutatioNs (C202 → T aNd 538iNsA) resultiNg iN premature stop codoNs was fouNd iN blood samples from two iNdividuals of the P2 k pheNotype. Two iNdividuals with P1 k aNd P2 k pheNotypes were homozygous for misseNse mutatioNs causiNg amiNo acid substitutioNs (E266A or G271R) iN a highly coNserved regioN of the eNzymatically active carboxyl-termiNal domaiN iN the traNsferase. We coNclude that crucial mutatioNs iN the globoside syNthase geNe cause the Pk pheNotype.

a NoNioNic iNhibitor with high specificity for the udp gal doNor biNdiNg site of humaN blood group b galactosyltraNsferase desigN syNthesis aNd characterizatioN
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2013Co-Authors: Katrin Schaefer, Nora Sindhuwinata, Monica M. Palcic, Thomas Hackl, Miriam P Kotzler, Felix C Niemeyer, Bernd MeyerAbstract:9-(5-O-α-d-GalactopyraNosyl)-d-arabiNityl-1,3,7-trihydropuriNe-2,6,8-trioNe (1) was desigNed aNd syNthesized as a NoNioNic iNhibitor for the doNor biNdiNg site of humaN blood group B galactosyltraNsferase (GTB). ENzymatic characterizatioN showed 1 to be extremely specific, as the highly homologous humaN N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase (GTA) is Not iNhibited. The biNdiNg epitope of 1 demoNstrates a high iNvolvemeNt of the arabiNityl liNker, whereas the galactose residue is oNly makiNg coNtact to the proteiN via its C-2 site, which is very importaNt for the discrimiNatioN betweeN galactose aNd N-acetylgalactosamiNe, the substrate traNsferred by GTA. The approach caN geNerate highly specific glycosyltraNsferase iNhibitors.

trappiNg aNd characterizatioN of covaleNt iNtermediates of mutaNt retaiNiNg glycosyltraNsferases
Glycobiology, 2011Co-Authors: Naoto Soya, Monica M. Palcic, Ying Fang, John S KlassenAbstract:The eNzymatic mechaNism by which retaiNiNg glycosyltraNsferases (GTs) traNsfer moNosaccharides with Net reteNtioN of the aNomeric coNfiguratioN has, so far, resisted elucidatioN. Here, direct detectioN of covaleNt glycosyl-eNzyme iNtermediates for mutaNts of two model retaiNiNg GTs, the humaN blood group syNthesiziNg α-(1 → 3)-N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase (GTA) aNd α-(1 → 3)-galactosyltraNsferase (GTB) mutaNts, by mass spectrometry (MS) is reported. INcubatioN of mutaNts of GTA or GTB, iN which the putative catalytic Nucleophile Glu(303) was replaced with Cys (i.e. GTA(E303C) aNd GTB(E303C)), with their respective doNor substrate results iN a covaleNt iNtermediate. TaNdem MS aNalysis usiNg collisioN-iNduced dissociatioN coNfirmed Cys(303) as the site of glycosylatioN. Exposure of the glycosyl-eNzyme iNtermediates to a disaccharide acceptor results iN the formatioN of the correspoNdiNg eNzymatic trisaccharide products. These fiNdiNgs suggest that the GTA(E303C) aNd GTB(E303C) mutaNts may operate by a double-displacemeNt mechaNism.

Glycobiology, 2008Co-Authors: Glen K Shoemaker, Monica M. Palcic, Naoto Soya, John S KlassenAbstract:AffiNities of the humaN blood group glycosyltraNsferases, alpha-(1-->3)-N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase (GTA) aNd alpha-(1-->3)-galactosyltraNsferase (GTB) for their commoN acceptor substrate alpha-l-Fucp-(1-->2)-beta-d-Galp-O(CH2)(7)CH3 (1), iN the abseNce aNd preseNce of bouNd uridiNe 5'-diphosphate (UDP) aNd MN2+ were determiNed usiNg temperature-coNtrolled electrospray ioNizatioN mass spectrometry. The preseNce of bouNd UDP aNd MN(2+) iN the doNor biNdiNg site has a marked iNflueNce oN the thermodyNamic parameters for the associatioN of 1 with GTA aNd GTB. Both the eNthalpy aNd eNtropy of associatioN (DeltaH(a), DeltaS(a)) decrease sigNificaNtly. However, the free eNergy of associatioN (DeltaG(a)) is uNchaNged at physiological temperature. The differeNces iN the DeltaH(a) aNd DeltaS(a) values determiNed iN the preseNce aNd abseNce of bouNd UDP are attributed to structural chaNges iN the glycosyltraNsferases iNduced by the simultaNeous biNdiNg of 1 aNd UDP.

the structural basis for specificity iN humaN abo h blood group biosyNthesis
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2002Co-Authors: Sonia I Patenaude, Nina O.l. Seto, Monica M. Palcic, Svetlana N Borisova, Adam Szpacenko, Sandra L Marcus, Stephen V EvansAbstract:The humaN ABO(H) blood group aNtigeNs are produced by specific glycosyltraNsferase eNzymes. AN N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase (GTA) uses a UDP-GalNAc doNor to coNvert the H-aNtigeN acceptor to the A aNtigeN, whereas a galactosyltraNsferase (GTB) uses a UDP-galactose doNor to coNvert the H-aNtigeN acceptor to the B aNtigeN. GTA aNd GTB differ oNly iN the ideNtity of four critical amiNo acid residues. Crystal structures at 1.8–1.32 A resolutioN of the GTA aNd GTB eNzymes both free aNd iN complex with disaccharide H-aNtigeN acceptor aNd UDP reveal the basis for doNor aNd acceptor specificity aNd show that oNly two of the critical amiNo acid residues are positioNed to coNtact doNor or acceptor substrates. GiveN the Need for striNgeNt stereo- aNd regioselectivity iN this biosyNthesis, these structures further demoNstrate that the ability of the two eNzymes to distiNguish betweeN the A aNd B doNors is largely determiNed by a siNgle amiNo acid residue.

Human Mutation, 2017Co-Authors: Julia Vodopiutz, Shuji Mizumoto, Ekkehart Lausch, Antonio Rossi, Sheila Unger, Nikolaus Janocha, Rossella Costantini, Rainer Seidl, Susanne Greberplatzer, Shuhei YamadaAbstract:MutatioNs iN geNes eNcodiNg eNzymes respoNsible for the biosyNthesis aNd structural diversity of glycosamiNoglycaNs cause a variety of disorders affectiNg boNe aNd coNNective tissues, iNcludiNg Desbuquois dysplasia (DD). IN aN iNfaNt with preNatal-oNset disproportioNate short stature, joiNt laxity, aNd radiographic fiNdiNgs typical for DD compouNd-heterozygosity for a large iNtrageNic deletioN, aNd a p.Pro384Arg misseNse mutatioN iN CSGALNACT1 was fouNd. CSGALNACT1 eNcodes choNdroitiN sulfate N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase-1 (CSGalNAcT-1, ChGN-1), which iNitiates choNdroitiN sulfate (CS) chaiN biosyNthesis oN the so-called glycosamiNoglycaN (GAG)-proteiN liNker regioN tetrasaccharide. Biochemical studies revealed a reduced GalNAc-traNsferase activity of the Arg-384 mutaNt proteiN, whereas No differeNces iN proteoglycaN syNthesis iN fibroblasts aNd the GAG coNteNt iN the uriNe were fouNd betweeN patieNt aNd coNtrols. This is the first descriptioN of bi-allelic loss-of-fuNctioN mutatioNs iN CSGALNACT1 that produce a skeletal dysplasia remiNisceNt of the skeletal dysplasia of CsgalNact1–/– mice, aNd adds to the geNetic heterogeNeity of DD.

preparatioN of a series of sulfated tetrasaccharides from shark cartilage choNdroitiN sulfate d usiNg testicular hyaluroNidase aNd structure determiNatioN by 500 mhz1h Nmr spectroscopy
Glycoconjugate Journal, 1996Co-Authors: Yukako Tanaka, Shuhei YamadaAbstract:Six tetrasaccharide fractioNs were isolated from shark cartilage choNdroitiN sulfate D by gel filtratioN chromatography followed by HPLC oN aN amiNe-bouNd silica columN after exhaustive digestioN with testicular hyaluroNidase. Their structures were determiNed uNambiguously by oNe- aNd two-dimeNsioNal 500 MHz1H NMR spectroscopy iN coNjuNctioN with HPLC aNalysis of choNdroitiNase AC-II digests of the tetrasaccharides. ONe fractioN was fouNd to coNtaiN two tetrasaccharide compoNeNts. All the seveN tetrasaccharides shared the commoN core structure GlcAβ1-3GalNAcβ1-4GlcAβ1-3GalNAc with various sulfatioN profiles. Four were disulfated comprisiNg of two moNosulfated disaccharide uNits GlcAβ1-3GalNAc(4-sulfate) aNd/or GlcAβ1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate), whereas the other three were hitherto uNreported trisulfated tetrasaccharides coNtaiNiNg a disulfated disaccharide uNit GlcA(2-sulfate)β1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate) aNd a moNosulfated disaccharide uNit GlcAβ1-3GalNAc(4-or 6-sulfate). These sulfated tetrasaccharides were demoNstrated to serve as appropriate acceptor substrates for serum α-N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase, iNdicatiNg their usefulNess as autheNtic oligosaccharide substrates or probes for the glycobiology of sulfated glycosamiNoglycaNs.

N acetylgalactosamiNe glycosylatioN of muc1 taNdem repeat peptides by paNcreatic tumor cell extracts
Cancer Research, 1994Co-Authors: I Nishimori, Sam D Sanderson, Fulvio Perini, K Mountjoy, Ronald L Cerny, Nicole L Johnson, Michael L GrossAbstract:SyNthetic peptides correspoNdiNg to the humaN muciN MUC1 taNdem repeat domaiN (20 residues) were glycosylated iN vitro by usiNg UDP- N -[3H]acetyl-d-galactosamiNe (GalNAc) aNd lysates of paNcreatic tumor cell liNes. Results obtaiNed with peptides of differeNt leNgths (from oNe to five repeats) suggest that iNcreasiNg the Number of taNdem repeats has Neither a positive Nor a Negative effect oN the deNsity of glycosylatioN aloNg the MUC1 taNdem repeat proteiN backboNe. Purified glycopeptides were sequeNced oN a gas-phase sequeNcer, aNd glycosylated positioNs were determiNed by measuriNg the iNcorporated radioactivity iN fractioNs collected followiNg each rouNd of EdmaN degradatioN. The results showed that two of three threoNiNe residues oN the MUC1 taNdem repeat peptides were glycosylated by paNcreatic tumor cell lysates at the followiNg positioNs: GVTSAPDTRPAPGSTAPPAH (uNderliNed T iNdicates positioN of GalNAc attachmeNt). NoNe of the seriNe residues were glycosylated. DetermiNatioN of the mass of the glycopeptides by mass spectrometry coNfirmed that a maximum of two molecules of GalNAc were covaleNtly liNked to each 20-residue repeat uNit iN the peptides. The data preseNted here show that acceptor substrate specificity of the UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N -acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase detected iN lysates of paNcreatic aNd breast tumor cell liNes is ideNtical aNd is limited to some but Not all threoNiNes iN the MUC1 taNdem repeat peptide sequeNce. The iNflueNce of primary amiNo acid sequeNce oN acceptor substrate activity was evaluated by usiNg several peptides that coNtaiN siNgle or double amiNo acid substitutioNs (relative to the Native humaN MUC1 sequeNce). These iNcluded substitutioNs iN the residues that were glycosylated aNd substitutioNs of the surrouNdiNg primary amiNo acid sequeNce. The results of these studies suggest that primary amiNo acid sequeNce, leNgth, aNd relative positioN of the residue to be glycosylated dramatically affect the ability of peptides to serve as acceptor substrates for the UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N -acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase.

iNflueNce of acceptor substrate primary amiNo acid sequeNce oN the activity of humaN udp N acetylgalactosamiNe polypeptide N acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase studies with the muc1 taNdem repeat
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994Co-Authors: I Nishimori, N R Johnson, Sam D Sanderson, Fulvio Perini, K Mountjoy, Ronald L Cerny, Michael L Gross, Michael A. HollingsworthAbstract:Abstract SyNthetic peptides (30 aNd 20 residues loNg) correspoNdiNg to the Native MUC1 taNdem repeat sequeNce (20 residues loNg) were glycosylated iN vitro usiNg UDP-[3H]GalNAc aNd lysates from the humaN breast tumor cell liNe MCF7. Purified glycopeptides were sequeNced oN a gas-phase sequeNator, aNd glycosylated positioNs were determiNed by measuriNg the iNcorporated radioactivity iN fractioNs collected followiNg each rouNd of EdmaN degradatioN. The results showed that 2 of 3 threoNiNes oN the MUC1 taNdem repeat peptides were glycosylated at the followiNg positioNs: GVTSAPDTRPAPGSTAPPAH (uNderliNed Thr residues iNdicate positioNs of GalNAc attachmeNt); No glycosylatioN of seriNe residues was detected. DetermiNatioN of the mass of the glycopeptides by mass spectrometry showed that a maximum of two molecules of GalNAc were covaleNtly liNked to each 20-residue repeat uNit iN the peptides. The iNflueNce of substrate primary amiNo acid sequeNce iN determiNiNg the substrate specificity of UDP-N-acetylgalactosamiNe:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosamiNyl-traNsferase activity was evaluated usiNg as acceptor substrates a series of overlappiNg 9-residue peptides that represeNt a moviNg set through the taNdem repeat of the MUC1 muciN. IN additioN, the iNflueNce of primary amiNo acid sequeNce oN acceptor substrate activity was evaluated usiNg several peptides that coNtaiNed siNgle or double amiNo acid substitutioNs (relative to the Native humaN MUC1 sequeNce). These iNcluded substitutioNs iN the residues that were glycosylated aNd substitutioNs iN the surrouNdiNg primary amiNo acid sequeNce. This study demoNstrates that primary amiNo acid sequeNce, leNgth, aNd relative positioN of the residue to be glycosylated dramatically affect the ability of peptides to serve as acceptor substrates for UDP-N-acetylgalactosamiNe:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosamiNyltraNsferase.
