Differential inhibition of mucin-type O-glycosylation (MTOG) induced by peracetyl N-thioglycolyl-d-galactosamine (Ac 5 GalNTGc) in myeloid cells.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2018 October 16
Investigations on the structure and functional roles of glycosylation - an intricate, complex, and dynamic post translational modification on proteins - in biological processes has been a challenging task. Glycan modifications vary depending on the specific cell type, its developmental stage, and resting or activated state. In the present study, we aim to understand the differences between the mucin-type O-glycosylation (MTOG) of two functionally divergent human cell lines, K562 (chronic myeloid leukemia) and U937 (histiocytic lymphoma), having myeloid origins. MTOG is initiated by the addition of N-acetyl-α-d-galactosamine (GalNAc) to Ser/Thr of glycoproteins. We exploited the metabolic glycan engineering (MGE) strategy using the peracetyl N-thioglycolyl-d-galactosamine (Ac5 GalNTGc), a synthetic GalNAc analogue, to engineer the glycoconjugates. Ac5 GalNTGc was metabolized and incorporated as N-thioglycolyl-d-galactosamine (GalNTGc) in cell surface glycoproteins in both the cell lines with varying degrees of efficiency. Notably, metabolic incorporation of GalNTGc resulted in differential inhibition of MTOG. It was observed that endogenous glycosylation machinery of K562 is relatively more stringent for selecting GalNTGc whereas U937 is flexible towards this selection. Additionally, we studied how the glycan modifications vary on a given CD antigen in these cell lines. Particularly, MTOG on CD43 was differentially inhibited in K562 and U937 as revealed by glycan-dependent and glycan-independent antibodies. It was observed that the effect of MGE on CD43 was similar to global effects on both cell lines. Consequences of MGE using GalNAc analogues depend on the expression and activity of various glycosyl transferases which determine global glycosylation on cell surface as well as on specific glycoproteins.
