Abstract
Using the mouse ES cell line with green fluorescent protein knocked-in at the Rx locus (Rx-KI ES cell), we previously showed that photoreceptors can be efficiently obtained in defined culture conditions by enriching Rx-positive retinal progenitor cells. We aimed to explore a protocol applicable for non-Rx-labeled stem cell lines for subsequent enrichment of retinal photoreceptor precursors for transplantation. The Rx-KI ES cell line was differentiated according to the serum-free suspension conditions with serum-free suspension/Dkk1/LeftyA/serum/activin method (SFEB/DLFA) described previously. Enrichment efficacy by negative selection was compared among 20 different lectins and the lectin combination that effectively enriched the Rx-positive cells by selecting the lectin low-binding population was determined. Subsequent differentiation efficiency to photoreceptor precursors and the contamination of Nanog or Oct3/4+ cells in the culture were evaluated between the cell cultures using negative selection with lectins and Rx positive selection. The effect of cytarabine (Ara-C) for minimizing the contamination of undifferentiated cells after the selection was also studied. The combination of the lectins, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), and Erythrina crista-galli agglutinin (ECA) enabled us to enrich the Rx-positive population by approximately twice the original Rx percentage. The selection also minimized the percentage of Oct3/4+ cells. The lectin-selected cells produced a comparable percentage of Crx/rhodopsin-positive colonies with Rx-positive selection and were differentiated into photoreceptors. The Ara-C treatment on differentiating days 24–26 decreased Nanog and Oct3/4 expression in subsequent cultures. Enrichment of Rx-positive cells using WGA and ECA was comparable to Rx-positive selection, and the method could be applied to achieve efficient photoreceptor differentiation from other ES or iPS cell lines in which the Rx gene is not marked.

Abstract
Prion diseases are characterized by the presence of an abnormal isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrPc) whose physiological role still remains elusive. To better understand the function of PrPc, it is important to identify the different subcellular localization(s) of the protein and the different partners with which it might be associated. In this context, the PrPc-lectins interactions are investigated because PrPc is a sialoglycoprotein which can react with lectins which are carbohydrate-binding proteins. We have previously characterized a nuclear lectin CBP70 able to recognize N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine residues in HL60 cells. Using confocal immunofluorescence, flow-cytofluorometry, and Western-blotting, we have found that PrPc is expressed in the nucleus of the NB4 human promyelocytic leukemia cell line. It was also found that the lectin CBP70 is localized in NB4 cell nuclei. Moreover, several approaches revealed that PrPc and CBP70 are colocalized in the nucleus. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that these proteins are coprecipitated and interact via a sugar-dependent binding moiety. In conclusion, PrPc and CBP70 are colocalized in the nuclear compartment of NB4 cells and this interaction may be important to better understand the biological function and possibly the conversion process of PrPc into its pathological form (PrPsc).

Abstract
Direct and indirect staining procedures were developed to characterize sialoglycoconjugates in developing rat submandibular gland. Lectin histochemistry, with and without prior sialidase digestion, combined with differential oxidation and deacetylation procedures was performed in situ. This allowed the expression of sialic acids to be followed during acinar cell development. It was found that terminal periodate-labile sialic acids linked to beta-galactose occurred early. In contrast, the terminal disaccharide sialic acid-N-acetylgalactosamine was only detectable at the adult stage and so was considered to be a good marker of the full maturity of this gland. The developing acinar cells were mainly characterized by C4-acetylated sialic acids belonging to short side-chains. Dimorphic expression of sialoglycoconjugate components was evident by postnatal day 44.

Abstract
A human cDNA for UDP- N -acetylglucosamine:alpha1,3-d-mannoside beta1,4- N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-IV) was isolated from a liver cDNA library using a probe based on a partial cDNA sequence of the bovine GnT-IV. The cDNA encoded a complete sequence of a type II membrane protein of 535 amino acids which is 96% identical to the bovine GnT-IV. Transient expression of the human cDNA in COS7 cells increased total cellular GnT-IV activity 25-fold, demonstrating that this cDNA encodes a functional human GnT-IV. Northern blot analysis of normal tissues indicated that at least five different sizes of mRNA (9.7, 7.6, 5.1, 3.8, and 2.4 kb) forGnT-IV are expressed in vivo. Furthermore, these mRNAs are expressed at different levels between tissues. Large amounts of mRNA were detected in tissues harboring T lineage cells. Also, the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 and the lymphoblastic leukemia cell line MOLT-4 revealed abundant mRNA. Lastly, the gene was mapped at the locus on human chromosome 2, band q12 by fluorescent in situ hybridization.

Abstract
We isolated a novel cDNA encoding a second isoenzyme of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:alpha1,3-D-mannoside beta1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-IV; EC 2.4.1.145). The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the cDNA were homologous to those of the previously cloned human GnT-IV cDNA (63% and 62% identity, respectively). The new cDNA is also confirmed to express GnT-IV activity, suggesting that two isoenzymes of human GnT-IV exist. Although genomic Southern analysis suggested that both genes exist in many mammalian species and the chicken, northern analysis revealed that both genes are expressed in different ways in human tissues. This is the first report concerning the gene family of an N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase in mammals.

Abstract
The dopamine transporter (DAT) in rat striatum was examined during postnatal development and aging after photolabeling with [125I]DEEP. The DAT-[125I]DEEP protein complex from adult rats (2 months) appeared as a broad diffuse band in SDS-PAGE gels with average apparent molecular mass of about 80,000 Da as previously found. However, the molecular mass was lower at birth (day 0) and at postnatal ages 4 and 14 days. In aged rats (104 weeks), the molecular mass was slightly higher than that found in young adults (60 days). In binding experiments with [3H]BTCP, there were age-related differences in Kd and Bmax with decreases in both Kd and Bmax found in aged rats. Treatment of photolabeled membranes with neuraminidase caused a reduction in DAT molecular mass, but age-related differences were maintained. Treatment with N-glycanase greatly reduced or eliminated the age-related differences. Several DAT peptide-specific polyclonal antibodies immunoprecipitated DAT-[125I]DEEP protein complex at different developmental ages. Taken together, these results suggest differential glycosylation of rat DAT occurs during postnatal development and aging; the increase is due to increases in the N-linked sugars rather than changes in either sialic acid content or the polypeptide.

Abstract
The HT-29 cell line derived from a human colon adenocarcinoma has a glucose-dependent state of differentiation which is negatively correlated with the presence of D-glucose in the culture medium. The contribution of glucose to the biosynthesis of N-glycan chains, as a function of the differentiation state of HT-29 cells, was shown by: (a) [14C]glucose incorporation by undifferentiated HT-29 cells being lower after 2 h and higher after 19 h of metabolic labeling than that by differentiated cells; (b) a lack of glucose in the culture medium of undifferentiated HT-29 cells diminishing [14C]glucose incorporation into glycan chains, but not changing the glucose distribution between lipid- and protein-linked saccharides; (c) glucose behavior in undifferentiated HT-29 cells being not related to mannose-glycan metabolism, as the high-mannose compounds labeled with glucose and observed by HPLC showing a different distribution associated with the duration of glucose labeling; and (d) glucose being interconverted into other monosaccharide-glycan constituents in proportions different in differentiated and undifferentiated cell populations.

Abstract
We studied the carbohydrate recognition systems of hepatocytes isolated from 16-day-old embryos, 19-day-old embryos and chicks within 24 h of hatching. We localized and quantified at the ultrastructural level the binding sites for glycoproteins exposing terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), mannose and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues by means of protein-gold complexes. Binding sites specific for GlcNAc and mannose residues are present on hepatocytes from embryos and chicks. On the contrary GalNAc specific binding sites are exclusively observed on cells from 16-day-old embryos. The number and distribution of gold particles on hepatocyte cell surfaces depend on the binding sites and the age considered. We describe a modulation in the number of GlcNAc, and mannose specific receptors present on the cell surface between the embryonal stage and neonatal life.

Abstract
We analyzed the overall structures of N-linked oligosaccharides on glycoproteins of various murine lymphocytic and lymphoma cells employing a newly developed method which was performed on high-performance liquid chromatography after derivatization of oligosaccharides with 2-aminopyridine. A total of 15 types of bi, tri- and tetra-antennary N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides with or without fucose and oligomannose-type oligosaccharides were identified on these cells in variable amounts depending on the type and maturation stage of the cells. It was found that all murine lymphocytic cells carry N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides with the additional alpha-linked galactose residue on the non-reducing ends. Thymocytes had exceptionally large amounts of oligosaccharides with one or even two alpha-galactose residues per molecule. In contrast, peripheral resting T cells possessed those oligosaccharides only in a small amount, although the cells produced more the oligosaccharides after stimulation with Con A. Two thymoma lines such as BW 5147 and EL-4 and one B cell lymphoma line WEHI231 contained relatively large amount of oligosaccharides with alpha-galactose residues. Significant change of the molar ratio of component carbohydrates by cell activation was observed also in oligommanose-type oligosaccharides which were few in resting T cells but were markedly increased in Con A activated cells. Molar ratio of triantennary oligosaccharides in total N-acetyllactosamine type oligosaccharides was high in thymocytes and low in resting T cells, but was increased in T cells after Con A activation. It was also very high in WEHI 231 B cell lymphoma. Although BW 5147 and EL-4 thymoma did not contain tri-antennary oligosaccharides in high proportion, they carried larger tetra-antennary oligosaccharides with an N-acetyllactosamine repeating unit in definitive amounts. It is suggested from these results that overall structures of oligosaccharides on cell surface proteins of lymphocytes are finely controlled with link to cell differentiation, activation and transformation.

Abstract
We previously showed that differences in the adhesive behaviour of fibroblasts obtained from 8-day-old (8-day CEF) and 16-day-old chick embryos (16-day CEF) were not due to alterations of cell surface fibronectin receptors. Herein we show that fibronectin (FN) was expressed more rapidly on the 8-day CEF surface (30 min) than on the 16-day CEF surface (60 min). In order to elucidate the mechanism responsible for these differences in the expression of cell surface FN we investigated the biosynthesis and the post-translational modifications of FN in 8- and 16-day CEF. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that FN was processed more slowly to an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo H)-resistant form in 16-day CEF than in 8-day CEF, whereas the kinetic of FN biosynthesis was similar in both cell populations. This difference was not related to a differential retention of FN in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as determined after saponin-permeabilization. These results suggested that the rate-limiting step in the transport of FN to the cell surface in 16-day cells occurred between the ER and the medial part of the Golgi apparatus. It seems that the delay in the processing of endo H-resistant N-glycans was sufficient to account for differences between 8- and 16-day CEF in the rate of surface expression of FN and CEF adhesion to a plastic substratum.

Abstract
In vitro assays for the beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (GlcNAcTase) were performed on crude microsomal fractions prepared from 8-day chick embryo fibroblasts (8-day-CEF) and 16-day chick embryo fibroblasts (16-day-CEF) using [3H]mannose-labeled GlcNAc beta 1----2 Man alpha 1----6 (GlcNAc beta 1----2 Man alpha 1----3) Man beta 1----4 GlcNAc beta 1----4 (Fuc alpha 1----6) GlcNAc-Asn and UDP-GlcNAc as substrates. 8-day-CEF synthesize preferentially triantennary complex type chains, whereas 16-day-CEF produce essentially tetraantennary complex type chains. Furthermore oligosaccharides containing the GlcNAc beta 1----4 Man alpha 1----3 Man sequence represent 90% of the structures found in 16-day-CEF versus 30% in 8-day-CEF, indicating an increase in beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase IV activity during embryo development.

Abstract
We studied the carbohydrate recognition systems on liver sinusoidal cells of adult chicken and 20-day-old embryos. We localized and quantified the binding sites for glycoproteins exposing terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), mannose and galactose (Gal) residues. Sinusoidal liver cells from animals of both ages express on their cell surfaces binding sites for GlcNAc, mannose and galactose residues, while hepatocytes bind glycoproteins with GlcNAc residues. The gold particles distribution on Kupffer cells depend on the binding sites and the age considered. Binding sites for GlcNAc and Gal residues are generally present as clusters of gold granules, while mannose-specific binding sites are always as single gold granules. Ligand-gold complexes bound on endothelial cells are always present on the coated regions of the cell surface. The number of GlcNAc and Gal-specific receptors expressed on the cell surface of Kupffer cells undergoes modifications between embryonal and adult life.

Abstract
Many of the products prepared by biotechnological approaches, including recombinant genetic engineering, cell tissue culture, and monoclonal technologies, are glycoproteins. As little as five years ago, glycosylation was believed to play no significant role in the function of glycoproteins. Recent large scale testing of glycoprotein-based pharmaceuticals has indicated that both the extent and type of glycosylation can play a central role in glycoprotein activity. Although methods for compositional and sequence analysis of proteins and nucleic acids are generally available, similar methods have yet to be developed for carbohydrate oligomers and polymers. This review focuses on new, developing methods for the analysis and sequencing of the carbohydrate portion of glycoproteins. Included are: (1) the release of oligosaccharides and hydrolysis of carbohydrate chains using enzymatic and chemical methods; (2) fractionation by LPLC, electrophoresis, HPLC, and lectin affinity chromatography; (3) detection through the preparation of derivatives or by new electrochemical methods; (4) analysis by spectroscopic methods, including MS and high-field NMR; and (5) their sequencing through the use of multiple, well-integrated techniques. The ultimate goal of the analytical approaches discussed is to firmly establish structure and, thus, permit the study of structure-function relationships and eventually to allow the intelligent application of carbohydrate remodeling techniques in the preparation of new glycoproteins.

Abstract
The inability of HT-29 cells to undergo an enterocytic differentiation when grown in a glucose-containing (Glc+) medium has been recently correlated to an overall impairment of N-glycan processing. These results were obtained using confluent HT-29 cells in which the differentiation characteristics are fully expressed under differentiation permissive conditions (glucose-deprived medium, Glc-). Whether these changes of N-glycan processing appear progressively during the cell growth or are already present from the beginning of the culture was investigated in this work by comparing the actual status of N-glycan processing in both exponentially growing Glc+ and Glc- HT-29 cells. Under these conditions, HT-29 cells do not express any characteristics of enterocytic differentiation, even when grown in differentiation permissive conditions. We show here that the conversion of high-mannose to complex glycoproteins is, however, severely reduced in HT-29 cells grown in differentiation non-permissive conditions (HT-29 Glc+) whatever the phase of growth studied. In contrast, HT-29 cells grown in differentiation permissive conditions (HT-29 Glc-) display a normal pattern of N-glycan processing in both the exponential and the stationary phase of growth. We also show that both growing and confluent HT-29 Glc+ cells accumulate Man GlcNAc2 species, thus suggesting that there is an important regulatory point at this level. We therefore conclude that the N-glycan processing may be used as an early biochemical probe for the enterocytic differentiation of HT-29 cells. Whether these early changes result from an early metabolic regulation or are the consequence of a genetic control remains to be studied.

Abstract
The embryonic development of skeletal muscle proceeds by the adherence and fusion of myoblast cells to form multinucleated myotubes. In the present study, enzymes in the dolichol pathway for asparagine-linked glycoprotein synthesis and oligosaccharide chain composition were characterized in myoblasts and myotubes derived from the C2 (mouse) muscle cell line. The N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase responsible for chain initiation and the mannosyl- and glucosyltransferases for Dol-P-Man and Dol-P-Glc synthesis were characterized with respect to substrate, cation, and detergent dependence. Time course studies in the absence and presence of exogenous Dol-P revealed that myoblasts had a two- to threefold higher capacity than myotubes for Dol-sugar synthesis. Pulse-chase experiments following the elongation of the Dol-oligosaccharide by intact cells showed myoblasts to label oligosaccharide intermediates approximately fourfold greater than myotubes; myotubes, however, were more efficient than myoblasts for converting the intermediates to the glucosylated Dol-tetradecasaccharide. Oligosaccharide chains isolated from sarcolemma glycopeptides were analyzed by Con A, WGA, and QAE chromatography. There were no differences between myoblast and myotube oligosaccharides with respect to the proportion of tri-tetraantennary complex, biantennary complex, and high mannose chains. Hybrid chains were not detected. The major high mannose chain contained nine mannose residues. Sialyltransferase activity was identical. The results suggest that higher levels of Dol-P and protein acceptor contribute to the greater degree of protein glycosylation in myoblast vs myotube muscle cells.

Abstract
[3H]Mannose-labelled glycopeptides in the slices of livers from neonatal and 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-week-old rats were characterized by column chromatographies on Sephadex G-50 and concanavalin A-Sepharose and by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H digestion. The proportion of complex-type glycopeptides was increased with time until 2 weeks post partum and then returned to the neonatal level. This was mainly due to the increased proportion of concanavalin A-bound (biantennary) species. These changes were accompanied by consistent changes in the activities of processing enzymes in liver microsomal fraction, especially of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I. Complex-type glycopeptides from neonatal and 2- and 5-week-old rat livers were further characterized by column chromatographies on Bio-Gel P-6 and DE 52 DEAE-cellulose in combination with neuraminidase digestion. No significant difference was found between concanavalin A-bound species from neonatal liver and those from liver 5 weeks post partum, most of which were sialylated. Concanavalin A-bound species 2 weeks post partum were comparatively smaller in size and less sialylated. On the other hand, there was no significant difference among concanavalin A-unbound species from the three different sources, most of which were sialylated. Since glycoproteins from regenerating rat liver also contain a higher proportion of complex-type oligosaccharides, as previously reported, such changes in N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins may be related to control of the growth of liver cells.

Abstract
The beta 2-adrenergic receptors of the human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells reside on two polypeptide chains revealed by photoaffinity labelling with [125I]iodocyanopindolol-diazirine. These proteins correspond to two distinct populations of N-asparagine-linked glycoproteins: the 55-52 kDa molecules are associated with complex carbohydrate chain(s), the 65-63 kDa component with polymannosidic carbohydrate chain(s). Both types of receptors are present in preconfluent cells, but only the polymannosidic type is found in the postconfluent cells. Moreover, complex chains appear to be associated with the receptors with the highest affinity for (-)-isoproterenol and polymannosidic chains with the receptors with the lowest affinity for this agonist. the carbohydrate moiety of the beta-adrenergic receptor is involved in the expression and function of the beta 2-adrenergic receptors at the surface of the A431 cells, since tunicamycin and monensin, complete and partial inhibitors of glycosylation respectively, diminish the number of binding sites at the cell surface and increase the total number of sites in the cell. In these conditions a diminution of cyclic AMP accumulation is also observed.

Abstract
During growth and differentiation the plasma membrane has a key role not only in the reception and transmission of extracellular signals such as hormones and growth factors, but also in communicating cellular response to the cellular microenvironment. Cellular response to trophic stimuli includes alterations of cell shape and cell surface antigenicity, of cell-cell recognition and cellular adhesion, of cell matrix binding and the adaptation of cell surface receptors. The plasma membrane is therefore regarded as a 'central agency' for the integration of a single cell into the complex system of a tissue or of an organism. The numerous functions of the plasma membrane are mainly mediated by membrane integrated glycoproteins or glycolipids both sharing the common feature of covalently bound oligosaccharide side chains. Specific alterations of oligosaccharide structure and metabolism associated with growth, differentiation and various pathologic conditions suggest a specific role for the oligosaccharide moieties in the regulation of cell surface functions (Table 1). This review intends to focus on the role of plasma membrane glycoproteins describing briefly principles of glycoprotein structure and function, and characteristics of their biosynthesis and degradation.
