Unusual N-type glycosylation of salivary prolactin-inducible protein (PIP): multiple Lewis Y epitopes generate highly-fucosylated glycan structures. Glycoconj J 2018; 35:323-332. [PMID: 29858715 DOI: 10.1007/s10719-018-9826-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2018] [Revised: 05/08/2018] [Accepted: 05/10/2018] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Prolactin-inducible protein (PIP) is a glycoprotein found in body secretions from exocrine glands like saliva and seminal plasma. Important biological functions of PIP concentrations have been demonstrated, e.g. in tumor diagnosis and progression. PIP quantity has been also found useful to determine the success of chemotherapy of mammary carcinoma. Here, we present the analysis of the N-glycosylation of PIP isolated from different sources by LC-MS(/MS) and 1H-NMR. We found a very uncommon N-type glycosylation of PIP in healthy individuals from both, seminal fluid and saliva. PIP carries unusual highly fucosylated N-linked glycans with multiple Lewisy (Ley) epitopes on bi-, tri- and tetraantennary structures resulting in up to nine fucosyl residues on a tetraantennary glycan. In most organs, Ley epitopes are not present on N-glycans except in case of a tumor when it is highly up-regulated and important for prognosis. Here, for the first time on a specific glycoprotein Ley antigens are unambiguously characterized on an N-type glycan by NMR spectroscopy. So far, for specific glycoproteins Ley epitopes had only been reported on O-glycans. Furthermore, a correlation between a nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and glycosylation pattern was detected: individuals heterozygous for the SNP causing the amino acid exchange 51Gln to 51His have glycan structures with a higher degree of sialylation compared to individuals lacking the SNP.

Abstract
Salivary agglutinin plays a vital biological role modulating the protective effect in the oral cavity by interacting with a broad range of oral pathogens. Here, we describe the first characterization of the O-linked oligosaccharides of salivary agglutinin identified by negative ion liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The dominating structures were neutral or monosialylated core 1 (Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr) and core 2 (Galbeta1-3(GlcNAcbeta1-6)GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr) structures extended by fucosylated oligo-N-acetyllactosamine units. Oligosaccharides detected as [M-H](-) or [M-2H](2)(-) ions ranged from the disaccharide Galbeta1-3GalNAcol up to structures of almost 4000 Da, corresponding to core 1/2 structures with five N-acetyllactosamine units and 11 fucoses. Fucose was found either as terminal or internal blood group H structures in type 1 (Galbeta1-3GlcNAcbeta1-R), type 2 (Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-R) and type 3 (Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr) units, where the chains also could be fucosylated on GlcNAc yielding repeated Lewis a/b or Lewis x/y structures. Sialylation was located either at the non-reducing end of the N-acetyllactosamine chains as sialyl-Lewis x or as sialyl-T (NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr) type structures with or without further extension of the C-6 branch of GalNAc with neutral fucosylated N-acetyllactosamine chains. The data indicated that sialylation, fucosylation and type 1 N-acetyllactosamine termination are important regulatory elements for controlling the oligosaccharide chain length. Furthermore, it was shown that these regulatory oligosaccharide elements could be utilized by the pathogen Helicobacter pylori to colonize the oral cavity, reside in dental plaque and serve as a reservoir for reinfection after successful clearance of H. pylori gastric infection.

Abstract
Human airway mucins represent a very broad family of polydisperse high molecular mass glycoproteins, which are part of the airway innate immunity. Apomucins, which correspond to their peptide part, are encoded by at least 6 different mucin genes (MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5B, MUC5AC and MUC7). The expression of some of these genes (at least MUC2 and MUC5AC) is induced by bacterial products, tobacco smoke and different cytokines. Human airway mucins are highly glycosylated (70-80% per weight). They contain from one single to several hundred carbohydrate chains. The carbohydrate chains that cover the apomucins are extremely diverse, adding to the complexity of these molecules. Structural information is available for more than 150 different O-glycan chains corresponding to the shortest chains (less than 12 sugars). The biosynthesis of these carbohydrate chains is a stepwise process involving many glycosyl- or sulfo-transferases. The only structural element shared by all mucin O-glycan chains is a GalNAc residue linked to a serine or threonine residue of the apomucin. There is growing evidence that the apomucin sequences influence the first glycosylation reactions. The elongation of the chains leads to various linear or branched extensions. Their non-reducing end, which corresponds to the termination of the chains, may bear different carbohydrate structures, such as histo-blood groups A or B determinants, H and sulfated H determinants, Lewis a, Lewis b, Lewis x or Lewis y epitopes, as well as sialyl- or sulfo- (sometimes sialyl- and sulfo-) Lewis a or Lewis x determinants. The synthesis of these different terminal determinants involves three different pathways with a whole set of glycosyl- and sulfo-transferases. Due to their wide structural diversity forming a combinatory of carbohydrate determinants as well as their location at the surface of the airways, mucins are involved in multiple interactions with microorganisms and are very important in the protection of the underlying airway mucosa. Airway mucins are oversulfated in cystic fibrosis and this feature has been considered as being linked to a primary defect of the disease. However, a similar pattern is observed in mucins from patients suffering from chronic bronchitis when they are severely infected. Airway mucins from severely infected patients suffering either from cystic fibrosis or from chronic bronchitis are also highly sialylated, and highly express sialylated and sulfated Lewis x determinants, a feature which may reflect severe mucosal inflammation or infection. These determinants are potential sites of attachment for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the pathogen responsible for most of the morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis, and the expression of the sulfo- and glycosyl-transferases involved in their biosynthesis is increased by TNFalpha. In summary, airway inflammation may simultaneously induce the expression of mucin genes (MUC2 and MUC5AC) and the expression of several glycosyl- and sulfo-transferases, therefore modifying the combinatory glycosylation of these molecules.

Abstract
Twenty novel disulfated oligosaccharides were purified in nanomolar quantities from tracheo-bronchial mucous glycoproteins from a patient with cystic fibrosis via cleavage by alkaline borohydride treatment, followed by anion-exchange chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition to positive ion fast-atombombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS), proposed structures for the resulting purified disulfated oligosaccharides were also based on carbohydrate permethylation analyses, periodate oxidation, complete sequential exoglycosidase digestion, and parallel analysis of desulfated products. Sulfate esters were found to reside on C-3 or C-6 of terminal D-galactose and on C-6 of internal D-galactose or 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose residues. For this group of oligosaccharides, ranging in size from tri- to undeca-saccharides and possessing linear, di- and tri-antennary forms, it was also observed that sulfate esters could be located on the same or on different branches and that branched oligosaccharides can possess sulfate esters on C-3 and C-6 of different terminal galactose residues within the same structure.

Abstract
There has been a recent resurgence of interest in the post-translational modification of serine and threonine hydroxyl groups by glycosylation, because the resulting O-linked oligosaccharide chains tend to be clustered over short stretches of peptide and hence they can present multivalent carbohydrate antigenic or functional determinants for antibody recognition, mammalian cell adhesion and microorganism binding. Co-operativity can greatly increase the affinity of interactions with antibodies or carbohydrate binding proteins. Thus, in addition to their known importance in bearing tumour associated antigens in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, glycoproteins with O-linked chains have been implicated as ligands or co-receptors for selectins (mammalian carbohydrate binding proteins). Microorganisms may have adopted similar mechanisms for interactions with mammalian cells in infection, by having relatively low affinity ligands (adhesins) for carbohydrate binding, which may bind with higher affinity due to the multivalency of the host ligand and which are complemented by other virulence factors such as interactions with integrin-type molecules. In addition to specific adhesion signals from O-linked carbohydrate chains, multivalent O-glycosylation is involved in determining protein conformation and forming conjugate oligosaccharide-protein antigenic, and possible functional determinants.

Abstract
We have constructed by enzyme-aided in vitro synthesis a hexasaccharide alditol Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6(Gal beta 1-3) GalNAc-ol and shown that it resists the action of endo-beta-galactosidase from Bacteroides fragilis under conditions where a related pentasaccharide alditol, GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6(Gal beta 1-3)GalNAc-ol, was completely cleaved. Together with earlier results from this laboratory, our present data imply that endo-beta-galactosidase from B. fragilis, apparently, can be used to distinguish between GlcNAc beta 1-6Gal and GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal units within linear backbone sequences of all known types of oligo-(N-acetyllactosamino)glycans.

Abstract
During the last decade, there have been enormous advances in our knowledge of glycoproteins and the stage has been set for the biotechnological production of many of them for therapeutic use. These advances are reviewed, with special emphasis on the structure and function of the glycoproteins (excluding the proteoglycans). Current methods for structural analysis of glycoproteins are surveyed, as are novel carbohydrate-peptide linking groups, and mono- and oligo-saccharide constituents found in these macromolecules. The possible roles of the carbohydrate units in modulating the physicochemical and biological properties of the parent proteins are discussed, and evidence is presented on their roles as recognition determinants between molecules and cells, or cell and cells. Finally, examples are given of changes that occur in the carbohydrates of soluble and cell-surface glycoproteins during differentiation, growth and malignancy, which further highlight the important role of these substances in health and disease.

Abstract
Glycosyltransferases acting on O-glycans have been shown to exhibit distinct specificity for the carbohydrate and the peptide moiety of their substrates. As an approach to study the 3-dimensional interactions between enzymes and O-glycan substrates, we determined the preferred conformations of five oligosaccharide-core structures of mucin type glycoproteins by NMR spectroscopy and by static and dynamic force field calculations. Seven oligosaccharides, representing five basic core structures, were investigated: Gal beta (1-3)GalNAc alpha Bzl (1, core 1), GlcNAc beta (1-6)[Gal beta (1-3)]GalNAc alpha Bzl (2, core 2), GlcNAc beta (1-3)GalNAc alpha Bzl (3, core 3), GlcNAc beta (1-6)[GlcNAc beta (1-3)]GalNAc alpha Bzl (4, core 4), GlcNAc beta (1-6)GalNAc alpha Bzl (5, core 6), the elongated core 2, Gal beta (1-4)GlcNAc beta (1-6)[Gal beta (1-3)]GalNAc alpha pNp (6) and GalNAc alpha-Bzl (7). The dynamic behaviour of the molecules was studied by Metropolis Monte Carlo (MMC) simulations. Experimental coupling constants, chemical shift changes, and NOEs were compared with results from static energy minimizations and dynamic MMC simulations and show a good agreement. MMC simulations show that the (1-6) linkage is much more flexible than the (1-3) or the (1-4) linkages. The preferred conformations of the disaccharides (1) and (3) show only slight differences due to the additional N-acetyl group in (3). The conformational equilibrium of beta (1-3) glycosidic bonds of 1 and 3 was not affected by attaching a beta (1-6) linked GlcNAc unit to the GalNAc residue in 2 and 4. However, experimental and theoretical data show that the beta (1-6) linkages of the trisaccharides 2 and 4, which carry an additional beta (1-3) linked glycosyl residue, change their preferred conformations when compared with (5). The 6-branch also shows significant interactions with the benzyl aglycon altering the preferred conformation of the hydroxymethyl group of the GalNAc to a higher proportion of the gt conformer. The (1-6) linkage of 2, 4, and 6 can have two different families of conformations of which the lower energy state is populated only to about 20% of the time whereas the other state with a relative enthalpy of approximately 4 kcal mol-1 is populated to 80%. This fact demonstrates that the two conformational states have different entropy contents. Entropy is implicitly included in MMC simulations but cannot be derived from energy minimizations.

Abstract
The carbohydrate chains of the respiratory-mucus glycoproteins of a patient (blood group O) suffering from bronchiectasis due to Kartagener's syndrome, were released by alkaline borohydride treatment of a pronase digest. The structures of 82 neutral and low-molecular-mass sialylated oligosaccharides have been described previously [van Kuik A., de Waard P., Vliegenthart J. F. G., Klein A., Carnoy C., Lamblin G. Roussel P. (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 198, 169-182]. In the present work, medium-size sialylated oligosaccharides were obtained after ion-exchange chromatography and were subsequently separated into 36 fractions utilizing gel filtration, HPLC on normal-phase alkylamine-bonded silica and reverse-phase HPLC. From these fractions, the following six sialylated hepta- and octa-saccharide-alditols have been characterized by employing 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy, in conjunction with fast-atom-bombardment mass spectroscopy and methylation analysis.

Abstract
Forty five oligosaccharide-alditols, purified after reductive beta-elimination of human bronchial mucins, were analyzed by HPLC on alkylamine-bonded silica column (Lichrosorb-NH2). The comparison of their structural features and retention times permitted the extension of some previous findings. The chromatographic behavior of the oligosaccharide depends more on the accessibility of oligosaccharide hydroxyl groups than on the sugar composition. The use of this type of fractionation is very efficient for low-molecular-mass oligosaccharide-alditols but needs to be completed by a second chromatographic step for higher molecular-mass oligosaccharide-alditols.

Abstract
Thirteen novel oligosaccharides, each possessing both a sulfate ester and a sialic acid residue, were isolated from tracheobronchial mucous glycoproteins from a patient with cystic fibrosis via cleavage by alkaline borohydride treatment, and by employing immobilized Limulus polyphemus lectin affinity chromatography, SynChroprep AX300 anion-exchange chromatography, Bio-Gel P-2 size-exclusion chromatography, and Hypersil 120A APS-2 high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Proposed structures for the resulting purified sulfated sialyl-oligosaccharides were based on carbohydrate/permethylation analyses, periodate oxidation, complete sequential exoglycosidase digestion, analysis of desulfated products and, analysis by positive-ion fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS). Sulfate esters on these sialyl-oligosaccharides resided on C-6 of a terminal or an internal D-galactose or 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose residue or C-4 of a terminal D-galactose residue. The sialic acid residues were found to be either bound (2-->6)-alpha to 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactitol or (2-->3)-alpha or (2-->6)-alpha to a D-galactose residue occupying a nonreducing terminus. For this group of oligosaccharides, ranging in size from tri- to hepta-saccharides, it was also observed that a sialic acid residue and a sulfate ester did not residue on the same oligosaccharide branch when more than one branch existed. On linear unbranched sulfated sialyl-oligosaccharides, the sialic acid residue was bound to a D-galactose residue occupying a nonreducing terminus with the sulfate ester residing on an internal D-galactose or a 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose residue. These results demonstrate that it is possible for sialic acid and a sulfate ester to exist on the same oligosaccharide and that this oligosaccharide can be as small as a trisaccharide.
