Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus toxin PirABvp is the major virulence factor exotoxin that contributes to the disruption of the hepatopancreatic epithelium in acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in shrimp. The PirBvp subunit is a lectin that recognizes amino sugars; however, its potential role in recognition of the hepatopancreas has not been identified. In the present work, we identified the cellular receptor for PirBvp in the shrimp hepatopancreas. A ligand blot assay of hepatopancreas lysate showed that the PirBvp subunit recognizes two glycoprotein bands of 60 and 70 kDa (Gc60 and Gc70). The hepatopancreas lysate was fractionated by anion-exchange chromatography, and the three main fractions obtained contained the recognized Gc60 and Gc70 protein bands. LC-MS/MS indicated that beta-hexosaminidases subunit beta and mucin-like 5 AC corresponded to the 60 and 70 kDa bands, respectively, which seem to be expressed in the epithelial cells of the hepatopancreas. Endoglycosidase treatment of hepatopancreas lysate with the O-glycosidase from Enterococcus faecalis, inhibits the binding of PirBvp. Altogether, these results suggest the relevance of the interaction of PirBvp with the hepatopancreas in the pathogenesis of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in shrimp.

Abstract
Useful information about glycoconjugates can be obtained by labeling their aglycone (noncarbohydrate) portions-e.g., labeling proteins with radioactive amino acids-and then using techniques described elsewhere in this chapter to infer the presence, type, and nature of glycan chains. This unit describes metabolic labeling techniques that provide more specific information about the structure, sequence, and distribution of the sugar chains of glycoconjugates. Following metabolic labeling, the radioactive glycoconjugate of interest is isolated, individual glycosylation sites are identified and separated if necessary, and the labeled glycans are subjected to structural analysis.

Abstract
This unit describes metabolic labeling techniques that provide specific information about the structure, sequence, and distribution of the sugar chains of glycoconjugates. In the Basic Protocol, cells in culture are grown through several population doublings in complete medium supplemented with radiolabeled glycoconjugate precursors to reach a steady-state level of incorporation. In the alternate protocols, cells are cultured for a short period of time in a deficient medium that contains a high concentration of radiolabeled precursor. A pulse or pulse-chase labeling procedure is provided to analyze precursor-product relationships. With the sequential pulse-labeling method described here, it is possible to obtain quantities of labeled glycoconjugates with the use of a minimum amount of labeled precursor by using the same batch of medium to pulse-label a series of cultures. A support protocol describes the preparation of multiply deficient medium (MDM) for use in making appropriate deficient media.

Abstract
Recent observations in cell culture provide evidence that negatively charged glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) at the surface of biological cells bind cationic cell-penetrating compounds (CPCs) and cluster during CPC binding, thereby contributing to their endocytotic uptake. The GAG binding and clustering occur in the low-micromolar concentration range and suggest a tight interaction between GAGs and CPCs, although the relation between binding affinity and specificity of this interaction remains to be investigated. We therefore measured the GAG binding and clustering of various mono- and multivalent CPCs such as DNA transfection vectors (polyethylenimine; 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane), amino acid homopolymers (oligoarginine; oligolysine), and cell-penetrating peptides (Penetratin; HIV-1 Tat) by means of isothermal titration calorimetry and dynamic light scattering. We find that these structurally diverse CPCs share the property of GAG binding and clustering. The binding is very tight (microscopic dissociation constants between 0.34 and 1.34 microM) and thus biologically relevant. The hydrodynamic radius of the resulting aggregates ranges from 78 nm to 586 nm, suggesting that they consist of numerous GAG chains cross-linked by CPCs. Likewise, the membrane-permeant monovalent cation acridine orange leads to GAG binding and clustering, in contrast to its membrane-impermeant structural analogs propidium iodide and ethidium bromide. Because the binding and clustering of GAGs were found to be a common denominator of all CPCs tested, these properties might be helpful to identify further CPCs.

Abstract
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) traverse the membrane of biological cells at low micromolar concentrations and are able to take various cargo molecules along with. Despite large differences in their chemical structure, CPPs share the structural similarity of a high cationic charge density. This property confers to them the ability to bind electrostatically membrane constituents such as anionic lipids and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Controversies exist, however, about the biological response after the interaction of CPPs with such membrane constituents. Present review compares thermodynamic binding studies with conditions of the biological CPP uptake. It becomes evident that CPPs enter biological cells by different and probably competing mechanisms. For example, some amphipathic CPPs traverse pure lipid model membranes at low micromolar concentrations--at least in the absence of cargos. In contrast, no direct translocation at these conditions is observed for non-amphipathic CPPs. Finally, CPPs bind GAGs at low micromolar concentrations with potential consequences for endocytotic pathways.

Abstract
This unit describes metabolic labeling techniques that provide specific information about the structure, sequence, and distribution of the sugar chains of glycoconjugates. Although these techniques provide less information than complete sequencing of the sugar chains, the partial structural information derived is sufficient for many purposes. In the basic procedure presented in this unit, actively growing cell cultures are grown through several population doublings in complete medium supplemented with radiolabeled glycoconjugate precursors to reach a steady-state level of incorporation. In alternate protocols, cells are cultured for a short period of time in a deficient medium that contains a high concentration of radiolabeled precursor. A pulse or pulse-chase labeling procedure can be used to analyze precursor-product relationships. With sequential pulse-labeling, it is possible to obtain quantities of labeled glycoconjugates with the use of a minimal amount of labeled precursor by using the same medium to pulse-label a series of cultures.

Abstract
To clarify the structure of non-sialic acid anionic residue on N-glycans in the mammalian tissues, we have isolated sialidase-resistant anionic residue on N-glycans from bovine lung. Analyses by partial acid hydrolysis and glycosidase digestions combined with a two-dimensional HPLC mapping method revealed that the major sialidase-resistant anionic N-glycan had a fucosylbianntenary core structure. The anionic residue was identified as a sulfate ester by methanolysis, anion-exchange chromatography, and mass spectrometry. The linkage position of the sulfate ester was the 6-position of the GlcNAc residue on the Manalpha1-6 branch. This conclusion was based on the results of glycosidase digestions followed by two-dimensional HPLC mapping. Furthermore, the disialylated form of this sulfated glycan was dominant, and no asialo form was detected. The structure of the major anionic N-glycan prepared from bovine lung and having a sulfate was proposed to be the pyridylamino derivative of Siaalpha2-3Galphalbeta1-4(HSO(3)-6)GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-6(Siaalpha2-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3)Manbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-6)GlcNAc.

Abstract
A variety of human adenocarcinomas express sialylated, fucosylated Lewis blood group antigens on cell surface and secreted mucins. Binding of these antigens to P-selectin on platelets is thought to facilitate formation of platelet-tumor emboli in the circulation, which in turn allows sequestration of the tumor cells in the microvasculature. Here we report a pharmacologic approach for blocking these interactions through metabolic inhibition of sialylation. Peracetylated forms of Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-O-naphthalenemethanol and GlcNAcbeta1,3Galbeta-O-naphthalenemethanol were taken up by LS180 human colon carcinoma cells, O-deacetylated, and utilized as biosynthetic intermediates, resulting in heterogeneous oligosaccharides. The primed oligosaccharides included sialylated, sulfated, and fucosylated products based on mass spectrometry. Assembly of free oligosaccharides on the glycosides decoyed glycosylation of cellular glycoproteins, as assessed by altered binding of lectins and carbohydrate-specific antibodies. Expression of alpha2,3-sialylated oligosaccharides on the cell surface was diminished specifically, whereas alpha2,6-sialylation and fucosylation were not. In U937 lymphoma cells, the glycosides decreased fucosylation without affecting sialylation. The differential inhibitory activities correlated inversely with fucosyltransferase and sialyltransferase activity based on enzyme assays and microarray analysis. Regardless of the mechanism, the disaccharides blocked the cells from forming selectin ligands and inhibited adhesion to immobilized selectins, suggesting that the glycosides might prove useful for interfering with tumor cell adhesion and metastasis.

Abstract
We previously found that endo-beta-xylosidase from Patinopecten is an endo-type glycosidase that cleaves the xylosyl serine linkage between a glycosaminoglycan chain and its core protein (Takagaki, K., Kon, A., Kawasaki, H., Nakamura, T., Tamura, S., and Endo, M. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 854-860). Screening for endo-beta-xylosidase activity in several cellulases detected this activity in the enzymes from Aspergillus niger, Penicillium funiculosum, Trichoderma reesei, Trichoderma viride, and Irpex lacteus. The cellulase derived from A. niger was purified, and its molecular weight was determined to be 26,000 by SDS-PAGE. Examination of the specificity of the cellulase revealed that 1) the enzyme acts on the linkage region (xylosyl serine) between a core peptide and a glycosaminoglycan chain; 2) enzymatic activity is greater with shorter glycosaminoglycan chains; 3) the enzyme readily hydrolyzes the linkage in glycosaminoglycan peptides, but intact proteoglycan is cleaved only slowly; and 4) the activity is unaffected by the glycosaminoglycan component (chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and heparan sulfate). Judging from these enzymatic characteristics, this cellulase is different from the endo-beta-xylosidase of Patinopecten. We believe that this cellulase will become a useful tool in the further development of glycotechnology, because, like the endo-beta-xylosidase of Patinopecten, it enables the release of intact glycosaminoglycans from glycosaminoglycan peptides.

Abstract
We report the characterization of two Chinese hamster ovary cell lines that produce large amounts of sulfated N-linked oligosaccharides. Clones 26 and 489 were derived by stable transfection of the glycosaminoglycan-deficient cell mutant pgsA-745 with a cDNA library prepared from wild-type cells. Peptide:N-glycanase F released nearly all of the sulfate label, indicating that sulfation had occurred selectively on the Asn-linked glycans. Hydrazinolysis followed by nitrous acid treatment at pH 4 and borohydride reduction yielded reduced sulfated disaccharides that comigrated with standard Gal3SO4beta1-4anhydromannitol. The disaccharides were resistant to periodate oxidation but became sensitive after the sulfate group was removed by methanolysis, indicating that the sulfate was located at C3 of the galactose residues. Maackia amurensis lectin bound to the sulfated glycopeptides on the cell surface and in free form, even after sialidase treatment. This finding indicates that the lectin requires only a charged group at C3 of the galactose unit and not an intact sialic acid. Growth of cells with chlorate restored sialidase sensitivity to lectin binding, indicating that sulfation and sialylation occurred largely at the same sites. The enhanced sulfation was due to elevated sulfotransferase activity that catalyzed transfer of sulfate from phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate to Galbeta1-4(3)GlcNAcbeta-O-naphthalenemethanol.

Abstract
PSGL-1, a specific ligand for P-, E- and L-selectin, was isolated from in vivo [3H]-glucosamine labeled HL-60 cells by a combination of wheat germ agglutinin-agarose and P- or E-selectin-agarose chromatography. N-linked oligosaccharides were released from the purified, denatured ligand molecule by peptide: N-glycosidase F treatment and, following separation by Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, partially characterized using lectin, ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography in combination with glycosidase digestions. The data obtained suggest that the N-glycans on PSGL-1 are predominantly core-fucosylated, multiantennary complex type structures with extended, poly-N-acetyllactosamine containing outer chains. A portion of the outer chains appears to be substituted with fucose indicating that the N-glycans, in addition to the O-glycans on PSGL-1, may be involved in selectin binding.

Abstract
The proteoglycans of animal cells typically contain one or more heparan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate chains. These glycosaminoglycans assemble on a tetrasaccharide primer, -GlcAbeta1, 3Galbeta1,3Galbeta1,4Xylbeta-O-, attached to specific serine residues in the core protein. Studies of Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants defective in the first or second enzymes of the pathway (xylosyltransferase and galactosyltransferase I) show that the assembly of the primer occurs by sequential transfer of single monosaccharide residues from the corresponding high energy nucleotide sugar donor to the non-reducing end of the growing chain. In order to study the other reactions involved in linkage tetrasaccharide assembly, we have devised a powerful selection method based on induced resistance to a mitotoxin composed of basic fibroblast growth factor-saporin. One class of mutants does not incorporate 35SO4 and [6-3H]GlcN into glycosaminoglycan chains. Incubation of these cells with naphthol-beta-D-xyloside (Xylbeta-O-Np) resulted in accumulation of linkage region intermediates containing 1 or 2 mol of galactose (Galbeta1, 4Xylbeta-O-Np and Galbeta1, 3Galbeta1, 4Xylbeta-O-Np) and sialic acid (Siaalpha2,3Galbeta1, 3Galbeta1, 4Xylbeta-O-Np) but not any GlcA-containing oligosaccharides. Extracts of the mutants completely lacked UDP-glucuronic acid:Galbeta1,3Gal-R glucuronosyltransferase (GlcAT-I) activity, as measured by the transfer of GlcA from UDP-GlcA to Galbeta1,3Galbeta-O-naphthalenemethanol (<0.2 versus 3.6 pmol/min/mg). The mutation most likely lies in the structural gene encoding GlcAT-I since transfection of the mutant with a cDNA for GlcAT-I completely restored enzyme activity and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. These findings suggest that a single GlcAT effects the biosynthesis of common linkage region of both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Abstract
We isolated a cDNA clone encoding mouse N-acetylglucosamine-6-O-sulfotransferase based on sequence homology to the previously cloned mouse chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase. The cDNA clone contained an open reading frame that predicts a type II transmembrane protein composed of 483 amino acid residues. The expressed enzyme transferred sulfate to the 6 position of nonreducing GlcNAc in GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc. Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc and various glycosaminoglycans did not serve as acceptors. Expression of the cDNA in COS-7 cells resulted in production of a cell-surface antigen, the epitope of which was NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(SO4-6)GlcNAc; double transfection with fucosyltransferase IV yielded Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)(SO4-6)GlcNAc antigen. The sulfotransferase mRNA was strongly expressed in the cerebrum, cerebellum, eye, pancreas, and lung of adult mice. In situ hybridization revealed that the mRNA was localized in high endothelial venules of mesenteric lymph nodes. The sulfotransferase was concluded to be involved in biosynthesis of glycoconjugates bearing the 6-sulfo N-acetyllactosamine structure such as 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis X. The products of the sulfotransferase probably include glycoconjugates with intercellular recognition signals; one candidate of such a glycoconjugate is an L-selectin ligand.

Abstract
Abstract
Murine class I molecules are ligands for Ly-49 molecules, a family of regulatory receptors expressed on murine NK cells. Since soluble sulfated mono- and polysaccharides interfere with the interaction of Ly-49A, a C-type lectin, and its class I ligand, Dd, it is possible that the oligosaccharides on class I molecules are sulfated and participate in Ly-49A binding. In this report, we show that H-2Dd expressed by activated T cells and various tumor cell lines is sulfated, as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation of Dd following Na235SO4 labeling. The 35SO4−2 label on Dd expressed by a representative tumor cell, NZB1.1, is removed by peptide N-glycosidase F, but is resistant to endoglycosidase H treatment, indicating that the sulfate group is located on mature N-linked oligosaccharides. Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that all major mature glycosylation variants of the Dd expressed by NZB1.1 are sulfated. Sodium chlorate, a potent inhibitor of ATP-sulfurylase, which prevents the formation of the sulfate donor, 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate, inhibited metabolic sulfation of Dd. NZB1.1 binds isolated Ly-49A immobilized on solid phase through an interaction by cell surface Dd, since cell adhesion was blocked by Abs directed against Dd or Ly-49A. Treatment of the Dd-expressing NZB1.1 tumor cells with sodium chlorate reduced their ability to bind immobilized Ly-49A, particularly when Ly-49A density was limiting. These results provide evidence for sulfation of H-2Dd oligosaccharide moieties, and suggest a role for this posttranslational modification in the interaction of Dd with Ly-49A.

Abstract
The major high affinity ligand for P-selectin on human leukocytes is P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). To bind P-selectin, PSGL-1 must be modified with tyrosine sulfate and sialylated, fucosylated, core-2 O-glycan(s). The required sites for these modifications on full-length PSGL-1 have not been defined. The N-terminal region of mature PSGL-1, which begins at residue 42, includes tyrosines at residues 46, 48, and 51, plus potential sites for Thr-linked O-glycans at residues 44 and 57. We expressed full-length PSGL-1 constructs with substitutions of these residues in transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. The cells were co-transfected with cDNAs for the glycosyltransferases required to construct sialylated and fucosylated, core-2 O-glycans on PSGL-1. The transfected cells were assayed for their abilities to bind fluid-phase P-selectin and to support rolling adhesion of pre-B cells expressing P-selectin under hydrodynamic flow. In both assays, substitution of Thr-57 with alanine eliminated binding of PSGL-1 to P-selectin without affecting sulfation of PSGL-1, whereas substitution with serine, to which an O-glycan might also be attached, did not affect binding. Binding was not altered by substituting alanines for the two amino acids on either side of Thr-57, or by substituting alanine for Thr-44. Substitution of all three tyrosines with phenylalanines markedly reduced sulfation and prevented binding to P-selectin. However, all constructs in which one or two tyrosines were replaced with phenylalanines bound P-selectin. These results suggest that full-length PSGL-1 requires an O-glycan attached to Thr-57 plus sulfation of any one of its three clustered tyrosines to bind P-selectin.

Abstract
We showed previously that HL-60 and F9 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells will take up and deblock peracetylated Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta-O-naphthalenemethanol (Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM) and use the disaccharide as a primer of oligosaccharide chains (Sarkar, A. K., Fritz, T. A., Taylor, W. H., and Esko, J. D. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92, 3323-3327). We now report that another disaccharide, acetylated GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-naphthalenemethanol (GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM), has even greater potency and that both compounds will inhibit sialyl LewisX (sLex)-dependent cell adhesion. When fed to U937 cells, acetylated forms of Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM and GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM primed oligosaccharides in a dose-dependent manner. Analysis of compounds assembled on Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM showed only one product, namely Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc-NM. In contrast, GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM generated Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM, Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM, NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM, and NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1- 3Gal-NM. Both compounds decreased the incorporation of [3H]fucose into cellular glycoconjugates, without affecting the incorporation of [3H]mannosamine, a precursor of sialic acid residues. Moreover, the overall extent of sialylation was not affected based on the reactivity of cells to fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated Maackia amurensis lectin. Priming inhibited expression of sLex on cell surface glycoconjugates, which reduced E-selectin-dependent cell adhesion to tumor necrosis factor-alpha-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM and Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM represent starting points for making enzyme-specific, site-directed inhibitors of glycosyltransferases that could act in living cells.

Abstract
Aggrecan (PG) was isolated from Swarm rat chondrosarcoma and the chondroitin 4-sulfate removed with chondroitinase ABC (ABC) or ACII (AC), leaving a 4-deoxy-beta-d-gluc-4-enuronosyl (DeltaGlcA) residue on the nonreducing terminus of the attached chondroitin sulfate chains. Mercuric acetate (as low as 5 mm) removed the DeltaGlcA from the PG-ABC within 10 min at 25 degrees C at pH 5.0, and the rate was pH independent between pH 3.0 and 5.0. The reaction was readily monitored by following the loss of reactivity to the monoclonal antibodies specific for 4-sulfated and nonsulfated unsaturated disaccharides in ELISA. After mercury treatment, there was a loss of carbazole-positive material and a decrease in the size of the linkage region oligosaccharides consistent with DeltaGlcA being removed. Aside from the loss of DeltaGlcA, neutral sugar composition and sialic acid content remained unchanged. After electrophoresis in a 4% polyacrylamide gel, Hg-treated PG-ABC and PG-AC migrated as single major bands, but with reduced mobilities, which is consistent with a loss of charge. There was a loss of reactivity to specific monoclonal antibodies. Treated aggrecan did not bind hyaluronic acid. This loss was not completely prevented by being present in a complex with link protein and hyaluronic acid. However, link protein could partially restore the hyaluronic acid interaction, so the effect of mercuric acetate on biological function will have to be assessed on an individual basis. Treatment with mercuric acetate is an effective, rapid, reproducible way of removing DeltaGlcA from both chondroitinase ABC and ACII-digested proteoglycan.

Abstract
In the last twenty years many peptides and proteins were introduced to the market for pharmaceutical use. The high complexity of the biomacromolecules requires the use not only of physicochemical methodologies but also of immunochemical and biological techniques for the characterization and quality control of these substances. Characterization of the active conformation and post-translational modifications is important for the understanding of the in vivo activity of peptides and proteins. Among other spectroscopic techniques circular dichroism has become a helpful tool for evaluating the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins and peptides. A combination of several analytical methods is necessary for a comprehensive characterization of the substance under investigation and for an appropriate quality control of the product concerning identity, purity and potency. Suitable analytical methodologies are discussed using erythropoietin as an example.

Abstract
This study represents the first detailed investigation of the nature of highly sulfated (keratan-sulfate-like) complex-type asparagine-linked glycans having a tetraantennary core structure and shows the effectiveness of fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometric (FAB-MS) methods incorporating derivatization and mild methanolysis for analyzing such complex types of sulfated glycans. The structure of the N-glycan chains was unambiguously established by a combination of compositional analysis, methylation analysis, mild methanolysis for desulfation, hydrazinolysis/nitrous acid deamination, enzymatic (endo-beta-galactosidase and peptide:N-glycosidase F) digestions, and instrumental analyses (1H-NMR spectroscopy and FAB-MS) which revealed the novel repeating sulfated carbohydrate sequences, +/- Gal beta 1-->4Gal beta 1[-->(HSO3-->6)GlcNAc beta 1-->3(+/- Gal beta 1-->4)Gal beta 1]n--> (see Structure I; p + q + r + s approximately 14). This sequence is unique in: (a) the skeletal structure is similar to that of keratan sulfate but is completely devoid of 6-O-sulfated Gal residues and (b) the presence of branched Gal residues in the sequence -->4GlcNAc beta 1-->3(Gal beta 1-->4)Gal beta 1-->.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that vegetative Dictyostelium discoideum cells make a lysosomal proteinase, proteinase-1, that contains multiple GlcNAc-alpha-1-P residues in phosphodiester linkage to serine. We extended these studies and, in contrast to earlier reports, found that proteinase-1 contains 7.5 mol of Fuc, 8 mol of Man, 2 mol of Xyl, and 30 mol of GlcNAc per calculated mol of protein but no Man-6-P residues. The protein binds to concanavalin A and wheat germ agglutinin lectin affinity columns, and PNGase-F digestion released most of the mannose and xylose but little of the GlcNAc. beta-Elimination under reducing conditions released only GlcNAc-alpha-1-P. There was no evidence for the release of disaccharides or of fucitol. A rabbit antiserum and monoclonal antibodies prepared against proteinase-1 recognize GlcNAc-alpha-1-P residues in immunoblots and are specifically competed by UDP-GlcNAc or GlcNAc-alpha-1-P. Use of other monoclonal antibodies showed the presence of mannose-6-sulfate on N-linked sugar chains, and alpha-fucose residues on the protein. Thus, proteinase-1 has at least two types of modifications: Glc NAc-alpha-1-P-Ser, which we call phosphoglycosylation, and N-linked oligosaccharides. This is the first purified lysosomal enzyme in Dictyostelium that does not contain Man-6-P residues. The GlcNAc-alpha-1-P-specific antibodies also recognize a group of developmentally regulated proteins, especially enriched in vegetative cells. Some of them are also lysosomal cysteine proteinases, and all bind to the GlcNAc-alpha-1-P-specific monoclonal antibody but not to the mammalian CI-Man-6-P receptor. Conversely, lysosomal enzymes that have Man-6-P do not bind to the GlcNAc-alpha-1-P-specific antibody. An exception to this is beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, where 15% of the activity binds to this antibody. Thus, there appear to be two sets of lysosomal enzymes with distinct post-translational modifications.

Abstract
We previously described a diverse family of sulfated anionic N-linked oligosaccharides released by peptide: N-glycosidase F (PNGaseF) from calf pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells (Roux, L., Holoyda, S., Sundblad, G., Freeze, H.H., and Varki, A. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 8879-8889). Since a major fraction of the intact lung consists of endothelial cells, we reasoned that bovine lung might be a rich source of similar molecules. Total N-linked oligosaccharides from bovine lung acetone powder were released by PNGaseF, labeled by [3H]NaBH4 reduction, and the anionic fractions were studied with a variety of techniques. The sugar chains with lesser negative charge (designated Class I) share several properties of conventional multiantennary complex-type chains. However, unlike the case with CPAE cells, sialic acids account only for a minority of the anionic properties and only a small proportion carry sulfate esters. A variety of different treatments indicate that most of the unexplained negative charge is due to multiple carboxylic acid groups. Resistance to beta-glucuronidase and alpha-iduronidase suggests that these may be previously undescribed modifications of mammalian oligosaccharides. The most highly charged N-linked chains (designated Class II) are more similar in general structure to the corresponding ones from CPAE cells, although relatively more abundant. Their high charge is primarily due to chondroitin sulfate, heparin/heparan sulfate, or keratan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains. Sequential digestion studies suggest that a significant proportion of these molecules have more than one type of glycosaminoglycan chain associated with them. Compositional analysis indicates the presence of xylose residues in Class II, but not Class I molecules. However, unlike the case with conventional glycosaminoglycans, these residues are not at the reducing terminus. Most previously reported structures of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides are derived from the glycoproteins of blood cells, plasma, or the secretions of cultured mammalian cells. This library of N-linked oligosaccharides from an intact mammalian organ (lung) contains a high proportion of novel anionic sugar chains whose structures are different from conventional complex-type sialylated chains and only partially related to those from CPAE cells. Further exploration of the N-linked chains of intact mammalian tissues seems warranted.

Abstract
The pituitary glycoprotein hormone lutropin is characterized by its pulsatile appearance in the bloodstream which is important for the expression of its biological activity in the ovary. We have previously shown that lutropin bears unique Asn-linked oligosaccharides terminating with GalNAc-4-SO4 which allow the hormone to be rapidly cleared from the bloodstream via a specific receptor in the liver, thus contributing to its pulsatile appearance in the circulation. Furthermore, we have found that carbonic anhydrase VI, synthesized by the submaxillary gland and secreted into the saliva, also bears Asn-linked oligosaccharides terminating with GalNAc-4-SO4, suggesting that this unique sulfated structure mediates other biological functions in addition to rapid clearance from the circulation. We report here the purification of a GalNAc-4-sulfotransferase which transfers sulfate to terminal beta 1,4-linked GalNAc on Asn-linked oligosaccharides. We show that the purified submaxillary gland enzyme has kinetic parameters identical to the pituitary enzyme, indicating that the same sulfotransferase is responsible for the sulfation of lutropin oligosaccharides in pituitary and carbonic anhydrase VI oligosaccharides in submaxillary gland. This GalNAc-4-sulfotransferase has an apparent molecular mass of 128 kDa and can be specifically photoaffinity radiolabeled with 3',5'-ADP, a competitive inhibitor of sulfotransferase activity. The acceptor specificity of this GalNAc-4-sulfotransferase indicates that it is able to transfer sulfate to terminal GalNAc beta 1,4GlcNAc on both N- and O-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides, suggesting that this enzyme is also responsible for the sulfation of O-linked glycans on proopiomelanocortin.

Abstract
We earlier reported calcium-dependent, heparin-like L-selectin ligands in cultured bovine endothelial cells (Norgard-Sumnicht, K. E., Varki, N. M., and Varki, A. (1993) Science 261,480-483). Here we show that these are heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) associated either with the cultured cells or secreted into the medium and extracellular matrix. Activation of the endothelial cells with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) does not markedly alter the amount or distribution of this material. A major portion of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains released from these HSPGs by alkaline beta-elimination rebinds to L-selectin in the presence of calcium, indicating that these saccharides alone can mediate the high affinity recognition. Heparin lyase digestions indicate that these GAG chains are enriched in heparan sulfate, not heparin sequences. Current understanding of the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate chains indicates that all glucosamine amino groups must be either N-acetylated or N-sulfated. However, nitrous acid deamination at pH 4.0 suggests the presence of some unsubstituted amino groups in these L-selectin-binding GAG chains from endothelial cell HSPGs. This is confirmed by chemical N-reacetylation and by reactivity with sulfo-N-hydroxysuccinimide-biotin. These unsubstituted amino groups are also found on HSPGs from human umbilical vein endothelial cells, but are not detected in those from Chinese hamster ovary cells. In both bovine and human endothelial cells, these novel groups are enriched for in the HS-GAG chains which bind to L-selectin. Despite this, studies with N-reacetylation and nitrous acid deamination do not show conclusive evidence for the direct involvement of the unsubstituted amino groups in L-selectin binding. This may be because the chemical reactions used to modify the amino groups do not go to completion. Alternatively, the unsubstituted amino groups may only be indirectly involved in generating binding, by dictating the biosynthesis of another critical group. Regardless, these studies shown that HSPGs from cultured endothelial cells which can bind to L-selectin are enriched with unsubstituted amino groups on their GAG chains. The possible biochemical mechanisms for generation of these novel groups are discussed.

Abstract
Differential expression of glycosyltransferases has the potential to generate functionally distinct glycoforms of otherwise identical proteins. We have previously demonstrated the presence of unique oligosaccharides terminating with GalNAc-4-SO4 on the pituitary glycoproteins lutropin (LH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). A glycoprotein hormone:GalNAc-transferase and a GalNAc-4-sulfotransferase are present in the pituitary and can account for the synthesis of these unique oligosaccharides on specific glycoproteins. Both transferases are coordinately expressed in a number of tissues in addition to pituitary, including submaxillary gland, lacrimal gland, and kidney, suggesting that additional glycoproteins bearing oligosaccharides terminating with GalNAc-4-SO4 are synthesized in these tissues. In this study we show that while the glycoprotein hormone:GalNAc-transferase and the GalNAc-4-sulfotransferase are coordinately expressed in bovine submaxillary gland, the GalNAc-transferase is expressed in the parotid gland in the absence of the GalNAc-4-sulfotransferase. The relative expression of these two transferases in submaxillary and parotid glands correlates with the presence of unique Asn-linked oligosaccharides on carbonic anhydrase VI (CA VI) synthesized in each of these tissues. The majority of Asn-linked oligosaccharides on CA VI synthesized in submaxillary gland terminate with GalNAc-4-SO4. In contrast, CA VI which is synthesized in bovine parotid gland bears oligosaccharides which terminate predominantly with beta 1,4-linked GalNAc which is not sulfated. The presence of different terminal residues on the Asn-linked oligosaccharides of submaxillary and parotid CA VI thus correlates with the complement of transferases in these glands and suggests differing biological roles for submaxillary and parotid CA VI.

Abstract
N-Acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (NG6SS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sulfate esters from the C-6 hydroxyl of N-acetylglucosamine. We report our purification and characterization of the enzyme and the discovery that it can remove sulfate from internally sulfated GlcNAc on glycopeptides and glycoproteins. The enzyme was purified from bovine kidney over 200,000-fold using a combination of ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. NG6SS is soluble and occurs as a single subunit with apparent solution molecular weight of 60.2 kDa on gel filtration chromatography and approximately 52.5 and 57.8 kDa on reducing and nonreducing SDS/PAGE, respectively. The enzyme is highly basic and exhibits a broad pH range with an optimum at pH 6.5 and a temperature optimum of 37 degrees C. Among the mono- and disaccharide sulfates tested, only GlcNAc-6-SO4 is an effective substrate with a Km of 4.7 mM, and either free sulfate or phosphate inhibits the activity. Unexpectedly, we found that the enzyme displays endosulfatase activity and quantitatively releases 35SO4 from 35SO4-labeled glycopeptides and intact glycoproteins isolated from human Molt-3 cells, which we have previously shown to synthesize glycoproteins containing GlcNAc-6-SO4 residues within the sequence Gal beta 1-4[SO-3-6]-GlcNAc beta 1-R of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides. The N-terminal sequence of the bovine NG6SS was homologous to a human-liver-derived N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase. The endosulfatase activity of bovine kidney NG6SS may be important in its potential role in the degradation of sulfated glycans and may make this enzyme a valuable reagent to study the biological functions of sulfated glycoproteins.

Abstract
L-Selectin is a calcium-dependent mammalian lectin that mediates lymphocyte trafficking by recognizing sialylated ligands on high endothelial venules in lymph nodes. Although L-selectin probably mediates neutrophil extravasation into nonlymphoid tissues, no corresponding ligand has been characterized. Staining of cultured endothelial cells with an L-selectin chimera (LS-Rg) showed an internal pool of ligands. Metabolic labeling with sulfur-35-labeled sulfate revealed heparin lyase-sensitive ligands that bound LS-Rg in a calcium-dependent, sialic acid-independent manner. A fraction of commercial heparin bound to LS-Rg and LS-Rg bound to heparin-agarose, both in a calcium-dependent manner. Thus, L-selectin recognizes endothelial heparin-like chains, which could be physiological ligands mediating leucocyte trafficking.

Abstract
We have previously identified endothelial ligands for L-selectin as sialylated, fucosylated and sulfated glycoproteins of approximately 50 kDa and 90 kDa (Sgp50 and Sgp90). In this report, we use the beta elimination reaction to demonstrate directly the presence of sulfated O-linked sugar chains on one of these ligands, after metabolic labeling with radiolabeled sulfate or fucose. All of the sulfated and the majority of the fucosylated O-linked sugar chains were shown to be sialylated by affinity chromatography on a Limax agglutinin column. Analyses by anion exchange and gel permeation chromatography revealed a complexity of sugar chains, which were heterogeneous both in charge and size. Charged groups other than sialic acid appeared to exert a predominant influence on the total charge of the sugar chains. The probable existence of a varying number of sulfate modifications per sugar chain is discussed.

Abstract
The single oligosaccharide moiety of the major myelin glycoprotein, P0, resides in an immunoglobulin-like domain that appears to participate in homophilic binding. The studies presented here indicate that the structure of the P0 oligosaccharide from rat nerve changes as a function of Schwann cell age. Examination of 5-day-old nerve revealed that P0 contained predominantly endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo H)-resistant, complex-type oligosaccharide. In contrast, P0 from adult rats had mostly endo H-sensitive carbohydrate, indicating the presence of appreciable high-mannose and/or hybrid-type oligosaccharide on the glycoprotein. The endo H-sensitive and -resistant P0 of adult nerve could be readily phosphorylated by protein kinase C, as could the complex-type P0 from 5-day-old nerve. This suggests that the glycoprotein progresses to the plasma membrane and myelin regardless of the type of oligosaccharide chain. Analysis of 35SO4(2-)-labeled P0 showed that the sulfate group was found on both endo H-sensitive and -resistant oligosaccharide. The endo H-sensitive P0 carbohydrate from adult nerve appears to be primarily of the hybrid type, as evidenced by (a) the elution profile of [3H]mannose-labeled P0 glycopeptides from adult nerve during concanavalin A chromatography and (b) the inability of P0 from adult nerve to interact with Galanthus nivalis agglutinin. The observed age-dependent changes of P0 oligosaccharide may modify the binding properties of this myelin glycoprotein.

Abstract
Previous studies have established the importance of a complex, N-linked oligosaccharide chain, recognized by a monoclonal antibody (mAb 1223), in the formation of sea urchin embryonic skeletal components known as spicules. To further investigate the function of this epitope, mAb 1223 was added to primary mesenchyme (PM) cell cultures prior to spiculogenesis. The antibody did not inhibit cell migration, cell attachment, or synthesis of the filapodial networks upon which the spicules are deposited. However, it did block deposition of mineralized CaCO3 along these filapodia, strongly supporting the previously proposed role for the 1223 epitope in calcium accumulation and/or deposition. Previously the 1223 epitope has been most extensively studied in association with a mesenchyme-specific protein of 130 kDa (msp 130). It has now been established, by Western blot analysis of whole embryo and PM cell extracts using mAb 1223, that two other proteins of 205 and 250 kDa contain the 1223 epitope. A study of the developmental profiles of expression of these glycoproteins revealed that all three were first expressed just prior to spiculogenesis, consistent with a role for any or all of these proteins in this process. Additionally all three proteins incorporated ethanolamine, myristate, and palmitate, the precursors of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Further labeling studies revealed differences in the metabolic lability of the GPI anchor in the three proteins; pulse-chase studies demonstrated that the ethanolamine moiety was stable in msp 130, but was rapidly chased from the 205-kDa protein (T1/2 = 14 hr). Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C partially released (50%) msp 130 from the PM cell surface, whereas it had no effect on release of the 205- and 250-kDa proteins. Studies with 35SO4 labeling and PNGase F treatment directly established that all three proteins are sulfated, and that most of the sulfate is attached to the N-linked oligosaccharide chains. Thus, the three major mAb 1223-reactive glycoproteins in PM cells are also the three major proteins containing both sulfated N-linked oligosaccharide chains and GPI anchors. Further investigation of this intriguing correlation may help to define the precise function of the 1223 epitope in the process of spicule formation.

Abstract
The N-linked oligosaccharides, released by hydrazinolysis from the major 55-kDa family, PZP3, of porcine zona pellucida glycoproteins, were separated into neutral (28%) and acidic (72%) carbohydrate chains by anion-exchange HPLC. By competition assay, it was shown that the mixture of neutral chains has the sperm-receptor activity, while that of the acidic chains has no activity. Their carbohydrate structures were analyzed after the reducing ends were modified with 2-aminopyridine. The neutral chains were fractionated into several components by reverse-phase and normal-phase HPLC. By sequential glycosidase digestion and 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy, the structures of three major components were determined. The structures of some of the minor components were analyzed only by sequential glycosidase digestion. By these analyses, it was found that a diantennary complex-type structure with a fucose residue was predominant in the neutral chains. Furthermore, the analyses of the endo-beta-galactosidase digests of the acidic chains revealed that the partially sulfated and sialylated N-acetyllactosamines are linked to the non-reducing ends of diantennary, triantennary, and tetra-antennary complex-type neutral chains, forming heterogeneous acidic chains.

Abstract
P0, the most abundant glycoprotein of PNS myelin, is a homophilic and heterophilic adhesion molecule. P0 is known to contain a glycoform population that expresses the L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope found on other neural adhesion molecules, and to be functionally implicated centrally in neural cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. This carbohydrate epitope has been characterized previously from glycolipid structures and contains a sulphated glucuronic acid residue. However, the L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope has not been characterized in glycoproteins. Because P0 possesses only one glycosylation sequon, the number of P0 glycoforms is equal to the heterogeneity of the glycan species. Here we report that the carbohydrate analysis of L2/HNK-1-reactive P0 showed the presence of anionic structures containing sialic acid and sulphate in various combinations. At least one sulphate residue was present in 80% of the monosaccharide sequences, and 20% contained three sulphates. High-resolution P4 gel chromatography of the desialylated and desulphated oligosaccharides showed substantial heterogeneity of monosaccharide sequences. Sequential exoglycosidase digestions indicated that the majority of the structures were of the hybrid class, although the sulphated structures were found to be endoglycosidase H-resistant.

Abstract
alpha 1 Inhibitor3 (alpha 1I3) is a monomeric protease inhibitor of about 190 kDa which is secreted by rodent hepatocytes. We have studied intracellular modifications of this protein in [35]methionine-labelled rat hepatocytes by pulse/chase experiments followed by immunoprecipitation and gel electrophoresis under reducing and nonreducing conditions. Directly after the pulse, most of the unreduced alpha 1I3 migrated faster than the reduced form, indicating that disulphide bridges are formed during or shortly after synthesis yielding a compact structure. With increasing chase time however, an increasing portion of the unreduced alpha 1I3 migrated with a mobility lower than that of the reduced protein, half-maximal conversion occurring after about 10 min. This finding suggests that alpha 1I3 undergoes a conformational change in the endoplasmic reticulum, possibly becoming more elongated. During 10-30 min of chase, the protein acquired the capacity to undergo autolytic cleavage upon heating, a property due to the existence of an internal thiolester bond [Howard, J. B., Vermeulen, M. & Swenson, R. P. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 3820-3823; Esnard, F., Gutman, N., El Moujahed, A. & Gauthier, F. (1985) FEBS Lett. 182, 125-129]. Analysis by subcellular fractionation indicated that this bond is formed in the endoplasmic reticulum. Finally, we show that secreted alpha 1I3 is sulphated, presumably at Tyr618.

The positive- and negative-ion f.a.b.-mass spectra and the fragmentation of sulphated oligosaccharides derived from ovine lutropin are described. Negative-ion f.a.b.-m.s. of methylated derivatives offers a sensitive and rapid method for screening glycans for sulphation, for defining the location of sulphated residues, and for sequencing sulphated branches. Positive-ion f.a.b.-m.s. gives complementary data on non-sulphated branches in both complex and hybrid-type sulphated structures.

Abstract
We have examined the binding and functional activity of monoclonal antibody (MAb) SG-1 that was raised by immunization against embryonal carcinoma cells and screened using KHT fibrosarcoma cells. Quantitative absorption, binding and in situ immunochemical staining assays indicate that the MAb SG-1-defined epitopes are expressed preferentially by the highly metastatic KHT35-L1 cells relative to the weakly metastatic, parental KHTp cells. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation (p less than 0.05) between the expression of MAb SG-1-defined antigen on the cells, following trypsin treatment, and their metastatic ability. Binding of MAb SG-1 to antigen was inhibited by specific sulfated polysaccharides including cerebroside sulfate (brain sulfatide), fucoidan, and dextran sulfate (500 kD) but not by heparan, chondroitin, keratan or dextran (5 kD) sulfates. Initial characterization of antigen from KHT cells indicates that the epitope of MAb SG-1 is defined by sulfated glycoconjugates containing galactose and sulfate but not N-acetylglucosamine. In the total lipid extracts of KHT35-L1 cells the antigen was detected in the delipidated protein fraction as well as in the chloroform/methanol fraction. These results suggest that the sulfated glycoconjugate determinants identified by MAb SG-1 may be relevant to the metastatic process of KHT fibrosarcoma cells.

Abstract
N-glycosylation was measured in wild-type cell lysates of Dictyostelium discoideum and in two mutant strains that synthesize a truncated lipid-linked oligosaccharide, Man6GlcNAc2 lacking terminal mannose and glucose residues. Endogenous lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) was transferred to octanoyl-Asn-[125I]Tyr-ThrNH2 by membrane fractions. About 50% of the glycopeptide product remained associated with membranes. Taurocholate and saponin promoted and preserved glycosylation, but NP-40 and Triton X-100 did not. Using this artificial assay, the rate and extent of transfer of the truncated lipid-linked oligosaccharide in extracts of the two mutant strains, HL241 and HL243, was reduced 5-10-fold relative to that of wild-type. The low activity found in the mutant strains appears to result from either reduced affinity of the truncated LLO for the transferase or from its improper topological localization in the membrane. When protein N-glycosylation is measured in living cells it is nearly normal in HL241, but it is 3-4-fold decreased in HL243. Although the results of the in vitro and in vivo assays differ, they are not in conflict. Rather, they suggest that the static in vitro assay may be capable of revealing subtleties in the productive positioning of LLO and the oligosaccharyl transferase. The decrease in glycosylation seen in intact HL243 cells may be a consequence of the pleiotropic effects of the primary mutation rather than a direct result of the altered LLO structure. Genetic analysis showed that the mutation in HL241 is recessive, while the mutation in HL243 is dominant and prevents normal development. Thus, the two mutants share a lesion in lipid-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis and in cell-free glycosylation, but differ in their in vivo glycosylation. Their primary defects are probably different.
