Nagasawa H, Miyazaki S, Kyogashima M. Simple separation of glycosphingolipids in the lower phase of a Folch's partition from crude lipid fractions using zirconium dioxide. Glycoconj J 2022; 39:789-795. [PMID: 36103104 DOI: 10.1007/s10719-022-10080-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
A simple method was developed for the separation of glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from lipid mixtures, including phospholipids and cholesterol, using zirconium dioxide (zirconia, ZrO2). Although this procedure does not incorporate a mild alkali treatment, which is commonly used for eliminating glycerophospholipids, it can be used to remove both alkali-resistant sphingomyelin and glycerophospholipids possessing ether bonds. Importantly, when GSLs were dissolved in organic solvent together with cholesterol (Chol) and phospholipids, and loaded onto ZrO2, Chol did not bind to the ZrO2 but both the GSLs and phospholipids did. When eluted with 5 mg/mL of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid in methanol, GSLs but not phospholipids were recovered, leaving the phospholipids bound to the ZrO2 particles. This method is particularly applicable for GSLs such as triglycosylceramides, tetraglycosylceramides and some pentaglycosylceramides, sulfatide and GM3 located in the lower phase of a Folch's partition, where significant amounts of phospholipids, Chol and neutral lipids reside along with GSLs. This method was successfully used to easily isolate GSLs from biological materials for their subsequent analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry with high resolution.

Abstract
We introduce the principle of a new technique to isolate glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from phospholipids. Neutral and acidic GSLs in organic solvent bind to titanium dioxide under neutral pH and can be eluted with 5 mg/ml of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid in methanol. This special property is applicable for eliminating phospholipids, including sphingomyelin, which cannot be eliminated by a typical mild alkaline treatment. By using this technique, we demonstrated the rapid separation of minor components of GSLs, namely sulfatide and gangliosides from rabbit serum and liver, respectively. The minor GSL components were effectively purified despite both sources containing tremendous amount of phospholipids and simple lipids such as cholesterol, cholesteryl esters and triglycerides.

Abstract
The structural study of glycans and glycoconjugates is essential to assign their roles in homeostasis, health, and disease. Once dominated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometric methods have become the preferred toolbox for the determination of glycan structures at high sensitivity. The patterns of such structures in different cellular states now allow us to interpret the sugar codes in health and disease, based on structure-function relationships. Dr. Catherine E. Costello was the 2017 recipient of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry's Distinguished Contribution Award. In this Perspective article, we describe her seminal work in a historical and geographical context and review the impact of her research accomplishments in the field.8 ᅟ Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are a large family of pore-forming toxins that often exhibit distinct structural changes that modify their pore-forming activity. A soluble platelet aggregation factor from Streptococcus mitis (Sm-hPAF) was characterized and shown to be a functional CDC with an amino-terminal fucose-binding lectin domain. Sm-hPAF, or lectinolysin (LLY) as renamed herein, is most closely related to CDCs from Streptococcus intermedius (ILY) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumolysin or PLY). The LLY gene was identified in strains of S. mitis, S. pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae. LLY induces pore-dependent changes in the light scattering properties of the platelets that mimic those induced by platelet aggregation but does not induce platelet aggregation. LLY monomers form the typical large homooligomeric membrane pore complex observed for the CDCs. The pore-forming activity of LLY on platelets is modulated by the amino-terminal lectin domain, a structure that is not present in other CDCs. Glycan microarray analysis showed the lectin domain is specific for difucosylated glycans within Lewis b (Le (b)) and Lewis y (Le (y)) antigens. The glycan-binding site is occluded in the soluble monomer of LLY but is apparently exposed after cell binding, since it significantly increases LLY pore-forming activity in a glycan-dependent manner. Hence, LLY represents a new class of CDC whose pore-forming mechanism is modulated by a glycan-binding domain.

Abstract
Neutral glycosphingolipids (GSLs) were isolated from Trypanosoma brucei and analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), TLC/secondary ion mass spectrometry (TLC/SIMS), and liposome immune lysis assay (LILA). Three species of neutral GSLs, designated as N-1, -2, and -3 were separated on TLC. N-1 GSL migrated very close to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and N-2 GSL showed the same mobility as lactosylceramide (LacCer). On the other hand, the mobility of N-3 GSL on the TLC plate was slower than globotetraosylceramide (Gb4). In order to characterize the molecular species of neutral GSLs from T. brucei, N-1, -2 and -3 GSLs were analyzed by TLC/SIMS. The TLC/SIMS analysis of N-1 of the parasites revealed a series of (M-H)- ions from m/z 698 to 825 representing the molecular mass range of ceramide monohexoside (CMH) (GlcCer or galactosylceramide). On the other hand, the TLC/SIMS spectra of N-2 GSL revealed a series of (M-H)- ions from m/z 944-987 indicating the molecular mass range of LacCer. In the TLC/SIMS analysis of N-3 GSL, however, the characteristic molecular ions that can elucidate the structure of N-3 GSL were not obtained. In order to confirm the results obtained from TLC/SIMS, N-1, -2, and -3, GSLs were tested by LILA with specific antibodies against GlcCer, LacCer, and Gb4, respectively. N-1 GSL had reactivity to anti-GlcCer antibody and N-2 GSL reacted with the antibody against LacCer. However, N-3 GSL was not recognized by anti-Gb4 antibody. Using anti-GlcCer and anti-LacCer antibodies, furthermore, we studied the expression of GlcCer and LacCer in T. brucei parasites. Both GlcCer and LacCer were detected on the cell surface of T. brucei.

Abstract
Clostridium botulinum type C 16S progenitor toxin consists of a neurotoxin (NTX), a non-toxic non-HA (NTNH), and a haemagglutinin (HA). The HA acts as an adhesin, allowing the 16S toxin to bind to intestinal epithelial cells and erythrocytes. In type C, these bindings are dependent on sialic acid. The HA consists of four distinct subcomponents designated HA1, HA2, HA3a and HA3b. To identify the binding subcomponent(s) of HA of type C 16S toxin, all of the HA-subcomponents and some of their precursor forms were produced as recombinant proteins fused to glutathione S-transferase (GST). These proteins were evaluated for their capacity to adhere to intestinal epithelial cells of guinea pig and human erythrocytes. GST-HA1, GST-HA3b and GST-HA3 (a precursor form of HA3a and HA3b) bound intestinal epithelial cells and erythrocytes, whereas GST alone, GST-HA2 and GST-HA3a did not. GST-HA3b and GST-HA3 showed neuraminidase-sensitive binding to the intestinal epithelial cells and erythrocytes, whereas GST-HA1 showed neuraminidase-insensitive binding. TLC binding assay revealed that GST-HA3b and GST-HA3 recognized sialosylparagloboside (SPG) and GM3 in the ganglioside fraction of the erythrocytes, like native type C 16S toxin [Inoue, K. et al. (1999). Microbiology 145, 2533-2542]. On the other hand, GST-HA1 recognized paragloboside (PG; an asialo- derivative of SPG) in addition to SPG and GM3. Deletion mutant analyses of GST-HA3b showed that the C-terminal region of HA3b is important for its binding activity. Based on these data, it is concluded that the HA component contains two distinct carbohydrate-binding subcomponents, HA1 and HA3b, which recognize carbohydrates in different specificities.

Abstract
The gangliosides of carp intestinal mucosa were isolated and analysed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), TLC immunostaining test, and TLC/secondary ion mass spectrometry (TLC/SIMS). Four species of gangliosides, designated as G-1, G-2, G-3 and G-4, were separated on TLC. The TLC/SIMS analysis of the G-1 ganglioside of carp intestinal mucosa revealed a series of [M-H](-)ions from m/z 1061 to m/z 1131 representing the molecular mass range of GM4-like ganglioside with NeuAc. G-2, G-3 and G-4 gangliosides were analysed by the TLC immunostaining test. G-2 ganglioside was recognised by the monoclonal antibody specific for ganglioside GM1 (AGM-1 monoclonal antibody). However, G-3 ganglioside migrating on TLC between GM3 and GM1 ganglioside was not recognised by anti-GM3 monoclonal antibody and by AGM-1 monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, G-4 ganglioside with a similar TLC mobility as GD1a ganglioside did not show the reactivity to the anti-GD1a monoclonal antibody. In addition using the AGM-1 monoclonal antibody, the expression of GM1 ganglioside in the carp intestinal tissue was studied. GM1 ganglioside was detected on the epithelial cell surface of carp intestinal mucosa.

Abstract
In order to clarify the presence of glycosphingolipids (GSLs) receptors for Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis with SEF21 fimbriae, we analyzed neutral GSLs and gangliosides from chicken oviductal mucosa and investigated the binding of bacteria to neutral GSLs and gangliosides. Five types of neutral GSLs, designated as N-1 to N-5, and two types of gangliosides, designated as G-1 and G-2, were identified on the thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates. In the bacterial binding assay on TLC, the fimbriated bacteria bound only to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) standard, N-1 having the same TLC mobility as GlcCer, GM3 standard and G-1 corresponding to GM3 in TLC mobility, but not to N-2, N-3, N-4, N-5, or G-2. These results suggest the presence of GlcCer (N-1) and ganglioside GM3 (G-1) on the epithelial surface of chicken oviductal tract which act as sites for adherence of SEF21-fimbriated S. Enteritidis.

Abstract
In order to test whether glycosphingolipids (GSLs) on the chicken intestinal mucosa serve as a receptor for Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis with fimbriae, we analyzed neutral GSLs and gangliosides from chicken intestinal mucosa and investigated the binding of bacteria to neutral GSLs and gangliosides. Four kinds of neutral GSLs, designated as N-1 to N-4 and four kinds of gangliosides, named G-1 to G-4, were identified on high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) plates. In TLC immunostaining tests, fimbriated S. Enteritidis bound only to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) standard, N-1, GM3 standard and G-1, but neither to N-2, N-3, N-4, nor to G-2, G-3 and G-4. Further, the bacterial binding to N-1 and G-1 was completely inhibited by preincubation of bacteria with anti-S. Enteritidis fimbriae (SEF) 21 antibody, but not by anti-SEF14 antibody. These results suggest that both GlcCer (N-1) and ganglioside GM3 (G-1) on the epithelial cell surfaces of chicken intestine act as receptors for fimbriated S. Enteritidis.

Abstract
The effect of intestinal IgA antibody against the receptor for verotoxin (VT), globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), on VT-mediated cytotoxicity was examined. Intestinal IgA antibodies against Gb3 were prepared by oral immunization of mice with Gb3 and adjuvant monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL)-containing liposomes composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylserine and cholesterol (1 : 1 : 2, molar ratio) (PS-liposome). Oral administration with Gb3 and MPL-containing PS-liposome induced significant IgA responses to Gb3 in the intestinal lavage fluid in all mice tested. Furthermore, anti-Gb3 IgA antibodies in the lavage fluid effectively inhibited the cytotoxicity of VT2 to Vero cells in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that anti-Gb3 IgA antibodies produced in the intestinal tract, upon oral immunization with Gb3-containing liposome, function as inhibitors against VT and also indicate the potential usefulness of oral PS-liposome vaccines containing MPL for the induction of a protective mucosal immune response against intestinal diseases.

Abstract
The production of mice with genetic alterations in glycosyltransferases has highlighted the need to isolate and study complex mixtures of the major classes of oligosaccharides (glycans) from intact tissues. We have found that nano-NMR spectroscopy of whole mixtures of N- and O-glycans can complement HPLC profiling methods for elucidating structural details. Working toward obtaining such glycan mixtures from mouse tissues, we decided to develop an approach to isolate not only N- and O-glycans, but also to separate out glycosphingolipids, glycosaminoglycans and glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors. We describe here a comprehensive Glycan Isolation Protocol that is based primarily upon the physicochemical characteristics of the molecules, and requires only commonly available reagents and equipment. Using radiolabeled internal tracers, we show that recovery of each major class of glycans is as good or better than with conventional approaches for isolating individual classes, and that cross-contamination is minimal. The recovered glycans are of sufficient purity to provide a "glycoprofile" of a cell type or tissue. We applied this approach to compare the N- and O-glycans from wild type mouse tissues with those from mice genetically deficient in glycosyltransferases. N- and O-glycan mixtures from organs of mice deficient in ST6Gal-I (CMP-Sia:Galbeta1-4GlcNAc alpha2-6 sialyltransferase) were studied by the nano-NMR spectroscopy approach, showing no detectable alpha2-6-linked sialic acids. Thus, ST6Gal-I is likely responsible for generating most or all of these residues in normal mice. Similar studies indicate that this linkage is very rare in ganglioside glycans, even in wild-type tissues. In mice deficient in GalNAcT-8 (UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide O-Ser/Thr GalNAc transferase 8), HPLC profiling indicates that O-glycans persist in the thymus in large amounts, without a major change in overall profile, suggesting that other enzymes can synthesize the GalNAc-O-Ser/Thr linkage in this tissue. These results demonstrate the applicability of nano-NMR spectroscopy to complex glycan mixtures, as well as the versatility of the Glycan Isolation Protocol, which makes possible the concurrent examination of multiple glycan classes from intact vertebrate tissues.

Abstract
Oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage progression is characterized by the transient expression of the disialoganglioside GD3 by OL precursor (preOL) cells followed by the sequential expression of myelin-specific lipids and proteins. Whereas GD3+ preOLs are highly motile cells, the migratory capacity of OLs committed to terminal differentiation is strongly reduced, and we have recently shown that the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-R (TN-R) promotes the stable adhesion and differentiation of O4+ OLs by a sulphatide-mediated autocrine mechanism (O4 is a monoclonal antibody recognizing sulphatides/seminolipids expressed by OLs and in myelin). Using culture conditions that allow the isolation of mouse OLs at distinct lineage stages, here we demonstrate that TN-R is antiadhesive for GD3+ preOLs and inhibits their integrin-dependent adhesion to fibronectin (FN) by a disialoganglioside-mediated signalling mechanism affecting the tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinase. This responsive mechanism appears to be common to various cell types expressing disialogangliosides as: (i) disialogangliosides interfered with the inhibition of cell adhesion of different neural and non-neural cells on substrata containing TN-R and FN or RGD-containing FN fragments. TN-R interacted specifically with disialoganglioside-expressing cells or immobilized gangliosides, and ganglioside treatment of TN-R substrata resulted in a delayed preOL cell detachment as a function of time. We conclude that OL response to one and the same signal in the extracellular matrix critically depends on the molecular repertoire expressed by OLs at different lineage stages and could thus define their final positioning.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the extracellular matrix molecule tenascin-C inhibits fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth by an interaction with a cellular RGD-independent receptor which interferes with the adhesion and neurite outgrowth promoting activities of the fibronectin receptor(s). Here we demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of tenascin-C on beta1integrin-dependent cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth is mediated by the interaction of the protein with membrane-associated disialogangliosides, which interferes with protein kinase C-related signaling pathways. First, in substratum mixtures with fibronectin, an RGD sequence-containing fragment of the molecule or synthetic peptide, tenascin-C inhibited cell adhesion and spreading by a disialoganglioside-dependent, sialidase-sensitive mechanism leading to an inhibition of protein kinase C. Second, the interaction of intact or trypsinized, i.e., cell surface glycoprotein-free, cells with immobilized tenascin-C was strongly inhibited by gangliosides or antibodies to gangliosides and tenascin-C. Third, preincubation of immobilized tenascin-C with soluble disialogangliosides resulted in a delayed cell detachment as a function of time. Similar to tenascin-C, immobilized antibody to GD2 (3F8) or sphingosine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, strongly inhibited RGD-dependent cell spreading. Finally, the degree of tenascin-C-induced inhibition of cell adhesion was proportional to the degree of disialoganglioside levels of expression by different cells suggesting the relevance of such mechanism in modulating integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions during pattern formation or tumor progression.

Abstract
O4(+) oligodendrocyte (OL) progenitors in the mammalian CNS are committed fully to terminal differentiation into myelin-forming cells. In the absence of other cell types in vitro, OL differentiation reproduces the in vivo development with a correct timing, suggesting the existence of an intrinsic regulatory mechanism that presently is unknown. We have examined the effect of two isoforms of the extracellular matrix (ECM) molecule tenascin-R (TN-R), which is expressed by OLs during the process of myelination, on the adhesion and maturation of OLs in vitro. Here we show that the substrate-bound molecules supported the adhesion of O4(+) OLs independently of the CNS region or age from which they were derived. At the molecular level this process was mediated by protein binding to membrane surface sulfatides (Sulf), as indicated by the interference of O4 antibody and Sulf with the attachment of OLs or other Sulf+ cells, erythrocytes, to TN-R substrates and by direct protein-glycolipid binding studies. In the absence of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), exogenous TN-R induced myelin gene expression and the upregulation of its own synthesis by cultured cells, resulting in a rapid terminal differentiation of O4(+) progenitors. Our findings strongly suggest that TN-R represents an intrinsic regulatory molecule that controls the timed OL differentiation by an autocrine mechanism and imply the relevance of TN-R for CNS myelination and remyelination.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans were reported to adhere to the glycosphingolipid asialo-GM1 by means of pili and fimbriae, respectively. These diverse adhesins have been previously reported to have an immunologically conserved antigenic epitope and the role of this cross-reactive epitope in adherence to asialo-GM1 was investigated in this study. Both the unbiotinylated PAK pilus and fimbrial adhesins inhibited biotinylated pili from P. aeruginosa PAK and biotinylated C. albicans fimbriae binding to asialo-GM1 and receptors present on human buccal epithelial cells (BECs), which suggested that the same receptor sites were recognized by the two adhesins. Monoclonal antibodies PK99H and Fm16 raised against the P. aeruginosa PAK pili and C. albicans fimbriae, respectively, recognized a conserved epitope present on the two adhesins. Both Fm16 and PK99H blocked fimbriae binding to asialo-GM1 and BEC receptors and also inhibited P. aeruginosa and C. albicans whole cell binding to BECs. These data suggested that the conserved epitope confers receptor-binding properties to the adhesins, demonstrated that (i) asialo-GM1-like receptors present on epithelial cell surfaces are utilized by the pilus and fimbrial adhesins and (ii) the binding to these glycoreceptors is mediated by a conserved epitope that has receptor-binding properties.

Abstract
Glycolipid receptors for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae attachment were analyzed by using a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) overlay assay. M. hyopneumoniae bound specifically to sulfatide, globoside, and monosialoganglioside GM3. No binding to sphingomyelin, cerebroside, lactosyl ceramide, ceramide trihexoside, monosialogangliosides GM1 and GM2, disialogangliosides (GD1a, GD1b, and GD3), trisialoganglioside (GT1b), cholesterol, cholesterol sulfate, palmitic acid, tripalmitin, or cholesteryl palmitate was detected. Total lipids extracted from cilia of the swine respiratory epithelium, the natural targets of M. hyopneumoniae infection, were also separated on TLC plates and overlaid with mycoplasmas. M. hyopneumoniae bound specifically to three ciliary glycolipids identified as La, Lb, and Lc. Binding to Lc was stronger than to La and Lb. All three lipids were believed to be sulfated glycolipids, as determined by laminin binding and staining with azure A. Lc was identified as a putative sulfatide because it has a mobility similar to that of authentic sulfatide and comigrated with sulfatide on TLC plates. Laminin bound to La, Lb, and Lc and produced dose-dependent inhibition of adherence of the mycoplasma to the three ciliary receptors. Binding of the mycoplasma to sulfatide, La, Lb, and Lc was partially inhibited by dextran sulfate, heparin, fucoidan, mucin, and chondroitin sulfate B. These substances blocked the adherence of M. hyopneumoniae to cilia and ciliated cells as shown in a previous study (Q. Zhang, T. F. Young, and R. F. Ross, Infect. Immun. 62:1616-1622, 1994). These results indicate that La, Lb, and Lc are the major native receptors for M. hyopneumoniae adherence to ciliated cells.

Abstract
The biochemical nature of the feline AB blood group system was characterized by analysing red blood cells from homozygous (genotype A/A) and heterozygous (A/B) type A, type B (B/B), and type AB cats. High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) of red cell glycolipids revealed that specific neuraminic acids (NA) on gangliosides, containing ceramide dihexoside (CDH) as a backbone, correlated with the feline AB blood group antigens. Although disialogangliosides predominated, mono- and trisialogangliosides were also isolated. B cats expressed solely N-acetyl-NA (NeuNAc) on these gangliosides. In addition to expressing N-glycolyl-NA (NeuNGc) containing gangliosides, A red cells have gangliosides with only NeuNAc or mixtures of both NA. HPTLC profiles of disialogangliosides from homozygous and heterozygous A cats differed slightly in the quantity of disialogangliosides. Equal amounts of NeuNAc and NeuNGc containing disialogangliosides, as well as two intermediary forms, were recovered from AB erythrocytes. Analysing disialogangliosides from red cells belonging to 17 genetically related cats, we consistently obtained the expected disialoganglioside profile, based on blood typing and pedigree information. SDS-PAGE of red cell membrane proteins and blotting with Triticum vulgaris, a lectin recognizing NeuNAc, revealed glycoproteins of approximately 51, 53, and 80 kD in B and AB cats but only a faint band of approximately 53 kD in A cats. By haemagglutination, Triticum vulgaris could also distinguish different blood types by specifically binding to B and AB cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The activity of UDP-Gal:LacCer galactosyltransferase in human placenta was studied by using crude homogenate and Triton CF-54 extract as the source of enzyme. Transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide was optimal in the presence of 0.1% Triton CF-54 and Mn2+ at pH 6.3, and the reaction product was susceptible to alpha-galactosidase.

Abstract
Antigens presented on cell membranes or on liposomes are usually more immunogenic than antigens in soluble form, this being one of the reasons for the weak immunogenicity of extracted tumour-associated transplantation antigens (TATA). The main objective of this study is to solubilize TATA from tumour cells and to present them on a membrane-like structure to the immune system. Crude tumour cell membranes of SL2 lymphosarcoma cells (a spontaneously arising, weakly immunogenic tumour) were solubilized with octylglucoside or sodium deoxycholate, and reconstituted membranes (proteoliposomes) were prepared by detergent removal. Mice immunized s.c. with reconstituted membranes were protected against an i.p. challenge with tumour cells. Although octylglucoside solubilized only 41% of the membrane proteins, the reconstituted membranes were as immunoprotective as crude membranes. (Glyco)proteins were probably the major membrane components in the reconstituted membranes that induce immunoprotection, as mice immunized with preparations constituted of (glyco)lipids from SL2 cells could not reject SL2 cells. If Freund's complete adjuvant was used with the first immunization injection, no potentiation of the elicited immune responses was observed. Besides the membrane TATA, SL2 cells contained an apparently non-membrane-bound TATA, which was found in the cytoplasm. It is concluded that detergent solubilization of membranes and subsequent preparation of reconstituted membranes can be used to obtain membrane tumour-associated antigens that retain activity for induction of protective tumour immunity. The major advantage of this method is that membrane proteins are solubilized and are subsequently presented on a membrane-like structure that resembles the tumour cell membrane. On theoretical and practical grounds it provides a promising alternative for whole-cell vaccines.

Abstract
CD62, also called PADGEM protein, GMP-140, or P-selectin, is a granule membrane protein of endothelial cells and platelets that is mobilized to the plasma membrane following exposure to mediators such as thrombin, histamine, complement components, or peroxides. Data presented to date suggest that one ligand of CD62 includes CD15 (Lewis x determinant) and sialic acid. We show here that sulfatides, heterogeneous 3-sulfated galactosyl ceramides, are an apparently unrelated ligand of CD62. Sulfatides are expressed on the plasma membrane of, and are excreted by, granulocytes, and constitute the principal ligand for CD62 on the plasma membrane of some tumor cells. CD62 binds to sulfatides adsorbed to plastic as avidly as it binds to myeloid or tumor cells. We find that granulocytes excrete sulfatides at a rate predicted to allow them to be rapidly released from CD62 once they have exited the bloodstream.

Abstract
The antigenically distinct Shiga-like toxins (SLTs) SLT-1 and SLT-II are cytotoxic for both Vero and HeLa cells and use Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1Cer (Gb3) molecules as functional receptors. SLT-II-related variants SLT-IIvp and SLT-IIvh, produced by a porcine isolate and a human isolate, respectively, are cytotoxic for Vero but not HeLa cells. To investigate the basis for these differences in cytotoxic specificity among SLTs, the nature of the receptor for the SLT-II variants was examined. First, the patterns of binding of SLT-II and the SLT-II variants to Gb3 receptor analogs Gal alpha 1-4Gal-bovine serum albumin and Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc-bovine serum albumin were compared. SLT-IIvp bound the trisaccharide neoglycoprotein preferentially, while SLT-IIvh bound both analogs equally but with less affinity than did SLT-II. Next, the glycolipids to which the SLT-II variants bound in Vero and HeLa cells were identified by thin-layer chromatography. SLT-IIvp bound to Gb3, GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1Cer (Gb4), and Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1Cer (Gb5) in Vero cells but only Gb3 in HeLa cells. However, SLT-IIvh bound to Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-1Cer (Gb2) and Gb3 in HeLa cells but only Gb3 in Vero cells. In addition, hybrid toxins (SLT-IIvp subunit A with SLT-II subunit B or SLT-II subunit A with SLT-IIvp subunit B) were used to show that the receptor specificities of the SLTs was B subunit specific. These differences in receptor specificities are important in vivo, as evidenced by a 400-fold difference in the 50% lethal doses of purified SLT-IIvp and SLT-II (200 versus 0.5 ng, respectively) for mice. These data indicate that SLT-II-cytotoxic variants can occur as a consequence of differences in receptor specificity and affinity.

Abstract
Small unilamellar phosphatidylcholine vesicles containing globo-series glycolipids were labeled by the galactose oxidase/NaB[3H]4 procedure. The major glycolipid of human red cells, globoside, was the best substrate for galactose oxidase both in vesicles and in tetrahydrofuran-containing buffer. The oxidation rates of membrane-bound ceramide trihexoside and Forssman glycolipid were one-fourth and one-tenth, respectively, of the oxidation rate of globoside. Membrane-bound ceramide dihexoside was not a substrate for galactose oxidase, although it was readily oxidized in tetrahydrofuran-containing buffer. Soluble sialoglycoproteins and membrane-incorporated glycophorin A stimulated the oxidation of globoside-containing vesicles, whereas membrane-bound GD1a ganglioside had no effect on globoside oxidation.

Abstract
We have critically addressed the question of lateral distribution of glycolipids in bilayer membranes, and the effect of glycolipid fatty acid chain length upon such distribution. For this purpose we synthesised the complex neutral glycosphingolipid, globoside, with spin-labelled fatty acid. Base hydrolysis to remove the natural fatty acid was found to deacetylate the GalNAc residue concomitantly, necessitating application of the synthetic route described for gangliosides by Neuenhofer et al. (Biochemistry 24, 525-532 (1985)). Globosides were produced with 18-carbon and 24-carbon fatty acids bearing a spin label at the C-16 position. Spin-labelled globosides were incorporated at 2 and 10 mol% into rigid, highly cooperative bilayer matrices of 1,2-dipalmitoylglycerophosphocholine (DPPC) and also into semi-fluid, non-cooperative membranes of DPPC/cholesterol. Recorded electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were analysed by comparison with a library of standards representing samples of known composition. Spectra were manipulated using a computer program which permitted linear combination of standards to stimulate coexistence of laterally separated domains of different composition. The most important conclusions were as follows: (1) at least 80% of the globoside was definitely not confined to domains highly enriched in glycolipid, although there was evidence of binary-phase separation in the rigid DPPC/globoside matrix; (2) the presence of 33 mol% cholesterol reduced the evidence of globoside phase separation; (3) there was remarkably little difference in results whether the globoside fatty acid chain length was similar to that of the phospholipid host matrix or eight carbons longer. Temperature profiles derived over the phase-transition region of DPPC using spin-labelled globoside or an unattached amphiphilic spin label were consistent with these findings. The same systems lent themselves to consideration of the role of glycolipid fatty acid chan length and cholesterol in determining glycolipid crypticity in membranes: (1) polyclonal anti-globoside IgG bound to globoside in DPPC liposomes without inducing agglutination. (2) The same antibodies did agglutinate DPPC/cholesterol liposomes bearing globoside. (3) The effect of cholesterol probably was upon glycolipid dynamics or attitude in the membrane, rather than upon distribution. (4) These observations were basically unaffected by the choice of 18-carbon vs. 24-carbon glycolipid fatty acids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death from infectious disease in the United States. To examine the possible role of carbohydrates as adhesion receptors for infection, several pulmonary pathogenic bacteria were studied for binding to glycosphingolipids. Radiolabeled bacteria were layered on thin-layer chromatograms of separated glycosphingolipids, and bound bacteria were detected by autoradiography. The classic triad of infectious bacteria found in cystic fibrosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcus aureus, along with other bacteria commonly implicated in typical pneumonia, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and certain Escherichia coli, bind specifically to fucosylasialo-GM1 (Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4Gal beta 1-4Cer), asialo-GM1 (Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4Gal beta-1-4Galc beta 1-1Cer), and asialo-GM2 (GalNAc beta 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1Cer). Bacteria maintained in nutrient medium bind better than the same cells suspended in buffer. They do not bind to galactosylceramide, glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide, trihexosylceramide, globoside, paragloboside, Forssman glycosphingolipid, or several other glycosphingolipids tested, including the gangliosides GM1, GM2, GM3, GD1a, GD1b, GT1b, and Cad. The finding that these pathogens do not bind to lactosylceramide suggests that beta 1-4-linked GalNAc, which is positioned internally in fucosylasialo-GM1 and asialo-GM1 and terminally in asialo-GM2, is required for binding. beta-N-Acetylgalactosamine itself, however, is not sufficient for binding, as the bacteria did not bind to globoside, which contains the terminal sequence GalNAc beta 1-3Gal. These data suggest that these bacteria require at least terminal or internal GalNAc beta 1-4Gal sequences unsubstituted with sialyl residues for binding. Other bacteria, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Salmonella species, and some E. coli, do not bind to the GalNAc beta 1-4Gal sequence. The biological relevance of these data is suggested by our finding that substantial amounts of asialo-GM1 occur in human lung tissue.

Abstract
'Interdigitation' is a term coined to describe the phenomenon whereby pure phosphatidylcholines with intramolecular fatty acid chain length heterogeneity when hydrated to form bilayers may insert the methyl ends of long fatty acids from one side across more than half of the membrane thickness to protrude amongst the acyl chains of the opposite side of the bilayer (Keough, K.M.W. and Davis, P.J. (1979) Biochemistry 18, 1453-1459; Huang, C. and Mason, J.T. (1986) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 864, 423-470). In this article we address the fate of long fatty acid chains of glycosphingolipids present as minor components in membranes of non-interdigitating phosphatidylcholines. In this pursuit, derivatives of galactosyl ceramide, lactosyl ceramide, globoside and GM1 were synthesized having either 18-carbon or 24-carbon fatty acid with a spin label covalently attached at C-16. Labelled glycolipids were incorporated at 1-2 mol% into bilayers of synthetic phosphatidylcholines, their mixtures with cholesterol, or natural egg phosphatidylcholine. In each case the C-16 carbon of the glycolipid long chain fatty acid showed considerably greater 'order' and immobility than did C-16 of the fatty acid which was similar in length to the host matrix phospholipids. We interpret this as strong evidence that the long chain fatty acid interdigitates across the mid point of the bilayer in the systems studied. Clearly this phenomenon did not require that the phospholipid host matrix have mixed chain lengths. Furthermore it was totally independent of glycolipid family: for a given host matrix and (glycolipid) fatty acid chain length the order parameter values found were the same amongst all four glycolipid families tested.

Abstract
Human erythrocytes bear carbohydrates linked to both proteins and lipids. The majority of the carbohydrates is carried on two proteins: 1) Band 3 (which carries a high molecular weight polylactosamine, variously termed "Erythroglycan", "poly(glycosyl)peptide" or "lactosaminoglycan" and 2) Glycophorin A (which carries 15 O-linked tetrasaccharides and 1 triantennary N-linked structure). The remainder of carbohydrates are carried mainly by a few other glycoproteins (glycophorins B,C, the glucose transporter and others) with a minor amount carried by glycosphingolipids. This report concerns the Band 3 carbohydrate and its content of potential ABH-active sites. We have determined that an average number of two [Fuc1----2Ga11----4GlcNAc] sequences are carried by each "erythroglycan", polylactosamine N-linked oligosaccharide. One such large oligosaccharide occurs on each molecule of Band 3 polypeptide of which there are 1,000,000 copies per erythrocyte. Therefore, about 2,000,000 possible ABH sites are borne by Band 3 on each erythrocyte. This approximates the number of immunologically estimated ABH sites on human erythrocytes. Thus, Band 3 carbohydrate probably carries the majority of ABH substance on human red cells, while other glycoproteins and glycosphingolipids carry a minor fraction.

Abstract
A novel phospholipase activity was recognized in intact, rat jejunal brush-border membranes and its effect on membrane lipid composition was evaluated following various incubation protocols. Brush-border membranes were isolated from mucosal scrapings by a combination of existing techniques. A brush-border plus nuclei fraction was first prepared by homogenization and low-speed centrifugation in isotonic mannitol, in the presence of 5 mM EDTA. Brush-border membrane vesicles were isolated from this fraction by homogenization, followed by precipitation of the remaining undesired membranes with 10 mM CaCl2. Membranes were judged to be highly purified by marker enzyme content, protein profile, and electron microscopy. In total lipid extracts, prepared immediately following membrane isolation, the ethanolamine phosphatides were found to be the major phospholipid class, accounting for nearly 45% of the total lipid phosphorus. Storage of the intact membranes, at either room temperature or at -20 degrees C, but not at -70 degrees C, resulted in a gradual and progressive hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine to lysophosphatidylethanolamine. Over 60% of the total ethanolamine phospholipid was converted to the lyso form during a 2 week storage period. Incubation of the intact membranes at 37 degrees C produced a similar effect in one hour. Only small amounts of other glycerophospholipids were degraded under these conditions. Hydrolysis was specific for the sn-2 position as more than 80% of the fatty acids in the lysophosphatidylethanolamine were found to be saturated. Substitution of MgCl2 for CaCl2 in the precipitation step did not block the hydrolysis. It was concluded that rat brush-border membranes contain a Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 with a high substrate preference for phosphatidylethanolamine. The physiological significance of this enzyme is not known.

Abstract
Sulfatides (galactosyl ceramide-I3-sulfate) and other sulfated glycolipids are found in many tissues. The cell adhesion proteins laminin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor bind specifically to sulfated glycolipids. Methods for characterizing the specificity of these interactions using surface-adsorbed glycolipids are reviewed. The three proteins do not bind to other anionic lipids, including gangliosides, phospholipids, or cholesterol 3-sulfate. Binding to sulfatides is saturable and of relatively high affinity. Relative binding avidity depends on the oligosaccharide structure of the glycolipids. Binding to sulfatides in erythrocyte membranes can account for the hemagglutinating activities of the three proteins and may play a role in the interactions of these proteins with other cell types.

Abstract
We have detected a disorder in Korat cats (initially imported from Thailand) that is analogous to human Sandhoff's disease. Pedigree analysis indicates that this disease in an autosomal recessive disorder in the American Korat. Postmortem studies on one affected cat showed hepatomegaly that was not reported in the only other known feline model of GM2-gangliosidosis type II. Histologic and ultra-structural evaluation revealed typical storage vacuoles. There was a marked deficiency in the activity of hexosaminidase (HEX) A and B in affected brain and liver as compared to controls. Electrophoresis of a liver extract revealed a deficiency of normal HEX A and B in the affected animals. The blocking primary enzyme immunoassay verified the presence of antigenically reactive HEX present in affected cat livers in quantities slightly elevated with respect to the normal HEX concentration in control cats. In leukocytes, obligate heterozygotes had intermediate levels of total HEX activity with a slight increase in the percent activity due to HEX A. Indeed, 4 of 11 phenotypically normal animals in addition to four obligate heterozygotes appear to be carriers using this assay. Affected brain and liver compared with control brain and liver contained a great excess of bound N-acetylneuraminic acid in the Folch upper-phase solids; thin-layer chromatography showed a marked increase in GM2-ganglioside. In summary, we have characterized the pedigree, pathology, and biochemistry of a new feline model of GM2-gangliosidosis which is similar to but different from the only other known feline model.

Abstract
The concentrations of cerebrosides and sulfatides were measured in the nervous systems of urodeles and related orders with a high performance liquid chromatographic technique. The peripheral and central nervous systems of all three urodele species, Necturus maculosis (mud puppy, a salamander), Notophthalmus viridescens (eastern red spot newt), and Desmognathus ochropheus (mountain salamander), were found to be completely devoid of alpha-hydroxy fatty acid-containing cerebrosides and sulfatides. All species of reptiles and fish classes close to urodeles contain these galactolipids. The levels of nonhydroxy fatty acid-containing cerebrosides and sulfatides are essentially similar in both urodeles and reptiles. Myelin isolated from Necturus spinal cord had a specific density of 1.07, lighter than mammalian myelin. Except for the absence of hydroxycerebrosides and hydroxysulfatides, the lipid composition of Necturus spinal cord myelin is essentially similar to that of frog and rat myelin. The fatty acids of nonhydroxycerebrosides are rich in monounsaturated homologs of C22-C25, and the sphingoid base consists of both sphinganine and sphingosine. Electron microscopic examination of the sciatic nerve showed that the general structure and interlamellar distances of salamander and newt myelin are identical to those of frog, chameleon, and rat. Necturus myelin, therefore, can be used as a model for the study of the functional and structural role of hydroxygalactolipids.

Abstract
A globoside spin labelled on the terminal sugar residue has been synthesized, and employed in model membranes to study headgroup behaviour of complex uncharged glycolipids. The labelled headgroup demonstrated a high degree of motional freedom limited to the aqueous region of the interface between lipid bilayer and surrounding medium. This observation was unaltered by the presence of a dense, tightly-bound surface layer of peripheral proteins or polysaccharide--which might be expected to reproduce conditions present at a cell surface. Headgroup dynamics were only very modestly correlated with the physical state (i.e., fluidity) of the membrane itself. In spite of the absence of charged sugar residues in globoside, the aspects of its headgroup behaviour monitored here we found to be similar to those of oligosaccharide chains on gangliosides and several sialic acid-rich glycoproteins.

Abstract
The neutral glycosphingolipids of human peripheral blood lymphocytes and of the lymphoid cells from a patient with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia were chemically analyzed. Four neutral glycosphingolipids were chemically analyzed. Four neutral glycosphingolipids were isolated from each of these two sources and studied by gas chromatography, methylation analysis, and electron impact--desorption mass spectrometry. The results of these studies indicate that the compounds have the following structures: Glc1 leads to 1Cer Gal1 leads to 4Glc1 leads to 1Cer Gal1 leads to 4Gal1 leads to 4Glc1 leads to 1Cer GalNAc1 leads to 3Gal1 leads to 4Gal1 leads to 4Glc1 leads to 1Cer These compounds, belonging to the globo series, were the only neutral glycosphingolipids found in the lymphoid cells. The ceramide (Cer) moiety of all these compounds contained 4-sphingenine with C16:0, C24:0, and C24:1 as the major fatty acid species. There were no structural differences in the neutral glycosphingolipids of peripheral blood lymphocytes compared to those of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. Peripheral blood lymphocytes contained more di- than monohexosylceramide whereas the reverse was true of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. The proportion of tri- and tetrahexosylceramide was less than 10% for both types of cells. The results of our analyses did not support the existence of any differences in the major neutral glycosphingolipids among T, B, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.

Abstract
Chloroform/methanol extracts of the secondary granule and plasma membrane fractions of polymorphonuclear leukocytes have been shown to contain both non-polar and polar carbohydrate-containing materials. The ratio of the polar to the non-polar material was much higher in the plasma membrane than the secondary granule fraction. The non-polar material contains at least two ceramide-like glycolipids and accounts for most of the broad band of periodic acid/Schiff-positive material which migrates at the dye front in sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoretic gels of granule and plasma membrane extracts. The polar material appears to be a single substance containing no fatty acids or sialic acid and is composed of glucose, hexosamine and a carboxylic acid derivative of pentose. Expressed on a per mg of protein basis, the amount of carbohydrate associated with the polar material in the plasma membrane fraction was about five times that of the secondary granule fraction.
