Self-recognition of N-linked glycans with multivalent GlcNAc, determined as ceramide mimetic conjugate.

چکیده
Aminoceramide mimetic was synthesized and conjugated to N-linked oligosaccharides having multivalent GlcNAc by reductive amination. Ceramide mimetic conjugates with "complex-type" glycan having five or six GlcNAc termini (termed Os Fr. B-Cer) were purified, analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and finally characterized by MS/MS analysis through liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Binding of Os Fr. B-Cer placed on solid phase polystyrene surface with [3H]cholesterol-labeled liposomes containing Os Fr. B-Cer, or containing various glycosphingolipids (GSLs) was determined. The binding of Os Fr. B-Cer liposomes to Os Fr. B-Cer coated plate was significantly higher than binding of GM3 liposomes. Other GSL liposomes showed no binding. Thus, self-recognition of Os Fr. B-Cer was clearly demonstrated using ceramide mimetic conjugates.

Analysis of the human cancer glycome identifies a novel group of tumor-associated N-acetylglucosamine glycan antigens.
The cell surface is covered by a dense layer of protein- and lipid-linked glycans. Although it has been known that distinct glycan structures are associated with cancer, the whole spectrum of cancer-associated glycans has remained undiscovered. In the present study, we analyzed the protein-linked cancer glycome by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometric gly...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans N-glycans containing a Gal-Fuc disaccharide unit linked to the innermost GlcNAc residue are recognized by C. elegans galectin LEC-6.
We report a detailed structural analysis of the N-glycans of Caenorhabditis elegans recognized by C. elegans galectin LEC-6. Glycoproteins of C. elegans captured by an immobilized LEC-6 affinity adsorbent were isolated. The N-glycans of these glycoproteins were then liberated by hydrazinolysis and labeled with the fluorophore 2-aminopyridine (PA). The derived pyridylaminated (PA)-sugars were fu...
متن کاملDisruption of O-GlcNAc Cycling in C. elegans Perturbs Nucleotide Sugar Pools and Complex Glycans
The carbohydrate modification of serine and threonine residues with O-linked beta- N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is ubiquitous and governs cellular processes ranging from cell signaling to apoptosis. The O-GlcNAc modification along with other carbohydrate modifications, including N-linked and O-linked glycans, glycolipids, and sugar polymers, all require the use of the nucleotide sugar UDP-Glc...
متن کاملAlpha-N-acetylglucosamine-linked O-glycans of sialoglycoproteins (Tc-mucins) from Trypanosoma cruzi Colombiana strain.
Trypanosoma cruzi sialoglycoproteins (Tc-mucins) are mucin-like molecules linked to a parasite membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. We previously determined the structures of Tc-mucin O-glycan domains from several T. cruzi strains and observed significant differences among them. We now report the amino acid content and structure of Tc-mucin O-glycan chains from T. cruzi Colombian...
متن کاملThe Recognition of N-Glycans by the Lectin ArtinM Mediates Cell Death of a Human Myeloid Leukemia Cell Line
ArtinM, a D-mannose-binding lectin from Artocarpus heterophyllus (jackfruit), interacts with N-glycosylated receptors on the surface of several cells of hematopoietic origin, triggering cell migration, degranulation, and cytokine release. Because malignant transformation is often associated with altered expression of cell surface glycans, we evaluated the interaction of ArtinM with human myeloc...
