Polysialic acid (polySia), a glycoepitope critical for neural development and plasticity, remains difficult to quantify owing to its structural complexity. Here, we present a highly sensitive sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) utilizing novel probes to measure polySia expression. Using this method, we quantified polySia levels in mouse brain samples across various developmental and aging stages. Notable age-related changes were observed, particularly in neuroplastic regions such as the hippocampus and olfactory bulb, where polySia levels increased at 12 months, potentially reflecting resilience mechanisms against brain aging. Elevated polySia levels in blood samples were also detected in both a schizophrenia mouse model and human patients, with a notable male preponderance. In contrast, no significant changes were observed in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. These findings, enabled by the novel probes, highlight a potential role for polySia in brain aging and neuropsychiatric disorders, offering new insights into developmental and disease mechanisms and supporting its utility as a diagnostic biomarker for brain impairments.

Background: Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators. How anemonefish manage to avoid their host toxic stings remains unclear. One hypothesis suggests that low levels of sialic acids in anemonefish mucus prevent nematocyst discharge. Results: This study verified four predictions: (i) anemonefish mucus has lower sialic acid levels than non-symbiotic damselfish; (ii) this reduction is specific to mucus; (iii) during development, sialic acid levels inversely correlate with protection; (iv) sea anemone mucus has minimal sialic acids. Conclusions: We conclude that anemonefish regulates the level of sialic acids in their mucus to avoid nematocyst discharge. We also highlight several genes implicated in sialic acid removal that could explain the protection mechanisms in place. This mechanism, potentially used by Dascyllus trimaculatus juveniles, suggests a convergent strategy for mutualistic associations with sea anemones.

Background: This study conducted a comprehensive glycan analysis of serum to determine how glycan biomarkers are associated with the pathophysiology of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and the effects of its treatment. Methods: We comparatively analyzed N- and O-glycans in the pretreatment serum of 27 treatment-naïve patients with typical CIDP and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC) using mass spectrometry. We determined the association between clinical parameters and glycans. The serum glycan and neurofilament light-chain (NfL) levels were assessed at the baseline, and treatment response was defined according to the degree of improvement in the modified Rankin scale 12 weeks after the first dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). Results: Compared with the HC, the CIDP group demonstrated significantly lower levels of serum total N-glycans (CIDP, median 973.3 [IQR 836.2–1131.3] pmol/μL; HC, 1125.0 [1005.0–1236.2] pmol/μL; p < 0.05), especially sialylated N-glycans (CIDP, 898.0 [752.2–1037.2] pmol/μL; HC, 1064.4 [942.7–1189.8] pmol/μL; p < 0.01). In contrast, the O-glycan levels did not differ significantly between the two groups. The treatment response was associated with low N-glycan levels, but not with the serum NfL levels. Low levels of sialylated N-glycans were associated with resistance to treatment over 12 weeks, with an area under the curve of 0.822 (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Low levels of sialylated N-glycans could potentially serve as a novel biomarker, reflecting pathophysiology and therapeutic resistance in typical CIDP.

Sialic acids are important glycan components not only in the conformation of the structure but also in functions of many biological activities. Detection methods for sialic acid have been developed, and fluorescent labeling of sialic acids with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene (DMB) is the best method for its analysis. However, identifying and quantifying sialic acids using mass spectrometry (MS) remains difficult because of the diversity of sialic acids, including O-acetylation. In this study, we initially focused on enhancing the liquid chromatography (LC) separation of DMB-labeled sialic acids in bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM). We successfully achieved highly resolutive separation of 14 types of sialic acids, including multiply O-acetylated species, using a CAPCELL CORE C18 column. These structures were subsequently confirmed through collision-induced dissociation (CID) fragmentation. We then assessed MS and fluorescence detection (FLD) sensitivity using Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, and Kdn standards, determining detection limits of 32 fmol for MS and 320 amol for FLD, with 320 fmol needed for CID-based structural analysis. These findings highlight the complementary nature of fluorescence and mass spectrometry techniques for DMB-labeled sialic acids identification and quantification. We also examined both CID and electron-activated dissociation (EAD) on the ZenoTOF 7600. CID fragment analysis revealed C5-specific diagnostic fragment ions for Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, and Kdn. EAD spectra predominantly induced fragmentation of the fluorescent DMB core, regardless of applied variable kinetic energies. This study also led to the discovery of a new structure, Neu5Gc7,8,9Ac<inf>3</inf>, alongside the previously reported Neu5,7,8,9Ac<inf>4</inf> in BSM.

Oligo/polysialic acid (oligo/polySia) refers to a class of linear polymers composed of Sias, found extensively at the non-reducing ends of glycans across various organisms, from bacteria to vertebrates. Different types of oligo/polySia have been characterized, varying in Sia composition, α-ketosidic linkages to penultimate Sia residues, and degree of polymerization. Detection of oligo/polySia-capped glycans is typically achieved through western blotting or ELISA using specific antibodies or endo-N-acylneuraminidase. Additionally, a sensitive chemical approach involving the direct labeling of oligo/polySia with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene, followed by separation and quantification via anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography, has been developed. However, detection through mass spectrometry (MS) has remained challenging due to the multiple negative charges and structural instability of these glycans. In this study, we applied a permethylation technique to convert carboxyl group of Sias into methyl esters, thereby neutralizing their negative charges, which allowed for improved MS analysis of sialylated glycans. We optimized both the permethylation and glycan purification processes. Consequently, we achieved the first successful detection of polySia structures using MALDI-TOF MS. There are more in-source decay ions in the MS profiling of permethylated α2,9-linked polySias compared to α2,8-linked polySias. Furthermore, we present the first examples of oligo/polySia sequencing by collision-induced dissociation on a TOF/TOF instrument, enabling us to differentiate between α2,8- and α2,9-linked polySias. We extended this approach to analyze oligo/polySia structures with O-linked glycans in polysialoglycoprotein from salmonid eggs. For the first time, the analysis of intact oligo/polySia structures with O-linked glycans were successfully detected using MALDI-TOF/TOF MS/MS with this optimized permethylation method.

The Human Glycome Atlas (HGA) Project was launched in April 2023, spearheaded by three Japanese institutes: the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System, the National Institutes of Natural Sciences, and Soka University. This was the first time that a field in the life sciences was adopted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) for a Large-scale Academic Frontiers Promotion Project. This project aims to construct a knowledgebase of human glycans and glycoproteins as a standard for the human glycome. A high-throughput pipeline for comprehensively analyzing 20,000 blood samples in its first five years is planned, at which time an access-controlled version of a human glycomics knowledgebase, called TOHSA, will be released. By the end of the final tenth year, TOHSA will provide a central resource linking human glycan data with other omics data including disease-related information.

In the injured brain, new neurons produced from endogenous neural stem cells form chains and migrate to injured areas and contribute to the regeneration of lost neurons. However, this endogenous regenerative capacity of the brain has not yet been leveraged for the treatment of brain injury. Here, we show that in healthy brain chains of migrating new neurons maintain unexpectedly large non-adherent areas between neighboring cells, allowing for efficient migration. In instances of brain injury, neuraminidase reduces polysialic acid levels, which negatively regulates adhesion, leading to increased cell–cell adhesion and reduced migration efficiency. The administration of zanamivir, a neuraminidase inhibitor used for influenza treatment, promotes neuronal migration toward damaged regions, fosters neuronal regeneration, and facilitates functional recovery. Together, these findings shed light on a new mechanism governing efficient neuronal migration in the adult brain under physiological conditions, pinpoint the disruption of this mechanism during brain injury, and propose a promising therapeutic avenue for brain injury through drug repositioning.

<jats:p>Radial neuronal migration is a key neurodevelopmental event for proper cortical laminar organization. The multipolar-to-bipolar transition, a critical step in establishing neuronal polarity during radial migration, occurs in the subplate/intermediate zone (SP/IZ), a distinct region of the embryonic cerebral cortex. It has been known that the extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules are enriched in the SP/IZ. However, the molecular constitution and functions of the ECM formed in this region remain poorly understood. Here, we identified neurocan (NCAN) as a major chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in the mouse SP/IZ. NCAN binds to both radial glial-cell-derived tenascin-C (TNC) and hyaluronan (HA), a large linear polysaccharide, forming a ternary complex of NCAN, TNC, and HA in the SP/IZ. Developing cortical neurons make contact with the ternary complex during migration. The enzymatic or genetic disruption of the ternary complex impairs radial migration by suppressing the multipolar-to-bipolar transition. Furthermore, both TNC and NCAN promoted the morphological maturation of cortical neurons in vitro. The present results provide evidence for the cooperative role of neuron- and radial glial-cell-derived ECM molecules in cortical development.</jats:p>

We recently established a method for the isolation of serum-free oligosaccharides, and characterized various features of their structures. However, the precise mechanism for how these glycans are formed still remains unclarified. To further investigate the mechanism responsible for these serum glycans, here, we utilized rat primary hepatocytes to examine whether they are able to secrete free glycans. Our findings indicated that a diverse array of free oligosaccharides such as sialyl/neutral free N-glycans (FNGs), as well as sialyl lactose/LacNAc-type glycans, were secreted into the culture medium by primary hepatocytes. The structural features of these free glycans in the medium were similar to those isolated from the sera of the same rat. Further evidence suggested that an oligosaccharyltransferase is involved in the release of the serum-free N-glycans. Our results indicate that the liver is indeed secreting various types of free glycans directly into the serum.

Sialic acids (Sias) are often linked to galactose (Gal) residues by α2,6- and α2,3-linkages in glycans of glycoproteins. Sias are indispensable for vertebrate development, because organisms deficient in some enzymes in the Sia synthetic pathway are lethal during the development. However, it remains unknown if the difference of Siaα2,6Gal or α2,3Gal linkage has a critical meaning. To find a clue to understand significance of the linkage difference at the organism level, medaka was used as a vertebrate model. In embryos, Siaα2,6Gal epitopes recognized by Sambucus nigra lectin (SNA) and Siaα2,3Gal epitopes recognized by Maackia amurensis lectin (MAA) were enriched in the blastodisc and the yolk sphere, respectively. When these lectins were injected in the perivitelline space, SNA, but not MAA, impaired embryo body formation at 1 day post-fertilization (dpf). Most Siaα2,6Gal epitopes occurred on N-glycans owing to their sensitivity to peptide:N-glycanase. Of knockout-medaka (KO) for either of two β-galactoside:α2,6-sialyltransferase genes, ST6Gal I and ST6Gal II, only ST6Gal I–KO showed severe cardiac abnormalities at 7–16 dpf, leading to lethality at 14–18 dpf. Interestingly, however, these cardiac abnormalities of ST6Gal I–KO were rescued not only by forced expression of ST6Gal I, but also by that of ST6Gal II and the β-galactoside:α2,3-sialyltransferase IV gene (ST3Gal IV). Taken together, the Siaα2,6Gal linkage synthesized by ST6Gal I are critical in heart development; however, it can be replaced by the linkages synthesized by ST6Gal II and ST3Gal IV. These data suggest that sialylation itself is more important than its particular linkage for the heart development.

Alveolin is a cortical alveolus proteinase that is secreted in the perivitelline space (PVS) at fertilization to act on the chorion. Purified alveolin is known to induce chorion hardening in vitro by processing zona pellucida B (ZPB), a major chorion component. However, in vivo function of alveolin remains unclear; thus, in this study, the effects of alveolin efficiency (Alv^−/−) at the organism level were investigated using the medaka, Oryzias latipes. The Alv^−/− fertilized eggs were mechanically fragile; however, they developed normally and left offspring as long as they were carefully handled before hatching. A mechanical press test showed that the Alv^−/− fertilized eggs were six times more fragile than the wild-type eggs. They were 35% larger owing to the enlarged PVS, 34% thinner, and permeable to even 10 kDa FITC-dextran. These results are consistent with the transmission electron microscopy observation that the periphery of the inner layers was highly porous in the Alv^−/− chorion. In chorion hardening, the alveolin-mediated processing of ZPB and the transglutaminase (TGase)-mediated crosslinking of chorion components are the key steps. This study was the first to show that alveolin also processed TGase concomitantly with ZPB, which greatly facilitated the crosslinking. Thus, alveolin was concluded to be the primary trigger for chorion hardening in vivo. Furthermore, fertilization in a balanced salt solution could partially improve the impaired chorion hardening of the Alv^−/− eggs fertilized in water, probably through an alveolin-independent mechanism.

Sialic acid (Sia) is a group of acidic sugars with a 9-carbon backbone, and classified into 3 species based on the substituent group at C5 position: N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), and deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn). In Escherichia coli, the sialate aldolase or N-acetylneuraminate aldolase (NanA) is known to catabolize these Sia species into pyruvate and the corresponding 6-carbon mannose derivatives. However, in bacteria, very little is known about the catabolism of Kdn, compared with Neu5Ac. In this study, we found a novel Kdn-specific aldolase (Kdn-aldolase), which can exclusively degrade Kdn, but not Neu5Ac or Neu5Gc, from Sphingobacterium sp., which was previously isolated from a Kdn-assimilating bacterium. Kdn-aldolase had the optimal pH and temperature at 7.0–8.0 and 50 ^◦C, respectively. It also had the synthetic activity of Kdn from pyruvate and mannose. Site-specific mutagenesis revealed that N50 residue was important for the Kdn-specific reaction. Existence of the Kdn-aldolase suggests that Kdn-specific metabolism may play a specialized role in some bacteria.

The CMP-sialic acid synthetase (CSS) activates free sialic acid (Sia) to CMP-Sia using CTP, and is prerequisite for the sialylation of cell surface glycoconjugates. The vertebrate CSS consists of two domains, a catalytic N-domain and a non-catalytic C-domain. Although the C-domain is not required for the CSS enzyme to synthesize CMP-Sia, its involvement in the catalytic activity remains unknown. First, the real-time monitoring of CSS-catalyzed reaction was performed by ³¹P NMR using the rainbow trout CSS (rtCSS). While a rtCSS lacking the C-domain (rtCSS-N) similarly activated both deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn) and N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), the full-length rtCSS (rtCSS-FL) did not activate Kdn as efficiently as Neu5Ac. These results suggest that the C-domain of rtCSS affects the enzymatic activity, when Kdn was used as a substrate. Second, the enzymatic activity of rtCSS-FL and rtCSS-N was measured under various concentrations of CMP-Kdn. Inhibition by CMP-Kdn was observed only for rtCSS-FL, but not for rtCSS-N, suggesting that the inhibition was C-domain-dependent. Third, the inhibitory effect of CMP-Kdn was also investigated using the mouse CSS (mCSS). However, no inhibition was observed with mCSS even at high concentrations of CMP-Kdn. Taken together, the data demonstrated that the C-domain is involved in the CMP-Kdn-dependent inhibition of rtCSS, which is a novel regulation of the Sia metabolism in rainbow trout.

Glycosylation of proteins and lipids occurs in vertebrates, usually terminating with sialylation, which regulates the physicochemical and biological properties of these glycoconjugates. Although less commonly known, sialic acid residues also undergo various modifications, such as acetylation, methylation, and sulfation. However, except for acetylation, the enzymes or functions of the other modification processes are unknown. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate the ubiquitous occurrence of sulfated sialic acids and two genes encoding the sialate: O-sulfotransferases 1 and 2 in vertebrates. These two enzymes showed about 50% amino acid sequence identity, and appeared to be complementary to each other in acceptor substrate preferences. Gene targeting experiments showed that the deficiency of these genes was lethal for medaka fish during young fry development and accompanied by different phenotypes. Thus, the sulfation of sialic acids is essential for the vertebrate development.

We characterized the existence of O-β(1,4)-GlcNAc polymers (β1,4GNP) that were anchored on the O-linked glycosylation sites of shrimp thrombospondin (pmTSP-II). There were five putative β1,4GNP linkages on the epithelial growth factor-like domain of pmTSP-II. Antibody against O-β-GlcNAc (CTD110.6) was used to prove the existence of linear and complex β1,4GNP. The antibody well reacted with linear chito-triose, -tetraose and -pentaose conjugated with phosphatidylethanolamine lipid. The immunoreactivity could also be detected with a complex β1,4GNP within pmTSP-II (at MW > 250 kDa). Upon denaturing the protein with SDS-PAGE buffer, the size of pmTSP-II was shifted to be 250 kDa, approximately 2.5 folds larger than the deduced molecular mass of pmTSP-II (110 kDa), suggesting additional association of pmTSP-II apart from its known disulfide bridging. This was confirmed by chitinase digestion on pmTSP-II protein leading to the subsequent smaller protein bands at 110–170 kDa in time- and concentration-dependent manners. These bands well reacted with CTD110.6 antibody and disappeared after extensive chitinase hydrolysis. Together, we believe that β1,4GNP on pmTSP-II serve the function in an inter-chain association to provide structural architecture of egg extracellular matrix, a novel function of pmTSP-II in reproductive biology.

Gangliosides are important components of the membrane and are involved in many biological activities. St8sia5 is an α2,8-sialyltransferase involved in ganglioside synthesis, and has three isoforms. In this study, we analyzed the features of three isoforms, St8sia5-S, -M, and -L that had not been analyzed, and found that only St8sia5-L was localized in the Golgi, while the majority of St8sia5-M and -S were localized in the ER. The localization of Golgi of St8sia5 depended on the stem region. In addition, the incorporation of exogenous GD3 was upregulated only in St8sia5-L expressing cells. Taken together, the localization of St8sia5 is important for the activity of the enzyme.

Vertebrate CMP-sialic acid synthetase (CSS), which catalyzes the synthesis of CMP-sialic acid (CMP-Sia), consists of a 28 kDa-N-domain and a 20 kDa-C-domain. The N-domain is known to be a catalytic domain; however, the significance of the C-domain still remains unknown. To elucidate the function of the C-domain at the organism level, we screened the medaka TILLING library and obtained medaka with non-synonymous mutations (t911a), or single amino acid substitutions of CSS, L304Q, in the C-domain. Prominently, most L304Q medaka was lethal within 19 days post-fertilization (dpf). L304Q young fry displayed free Sia accumulation, and impairment of sialylation, up to 8 dpf. At 8 dpf, a marked abnormality in ventricular contraction and skeletal myogenesis was observed. To gain insight into the mechanism of L304Q-induced abnormalities, L304Q was biochemically characterized. Although bacterially expressed soluble L304Q and WT showed the similar V<inf>max</inf>/K<inf>m</inf> values, very few soluble L304Q was detected when expressed in CHO cells in sharp contrast to the WT. Additionally, the thermostability of various mutations of L304 greatly decreased, except for WT and L304I. These results suggest that L304 is important for the stability of CSS, and that an appropriate level of expression of soluble CSS is significant for animal survival.

Sialic acid (Sia)-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 7 (Siglec-7) is an inhibitory receptor primarily expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and monocytes. Siglec-7 is known to negatively regulate the innate immune system through Sia binding to distinguish self and nonself; however, a counterreceptor bearing its natural ligand remains largely unclear. Here, we identified a counter-receptor of Siglec-7 using K562 hematopoietic carcinoma cells presenting cell surface ligands for Siglec-7. We affinity-purified the ligands using Fc-ligated recombinant Siglec-7 and diSia-dextran polymer, a strong inhibitor for Siglec-7. We then confirmed the counter-receptor for Siglec-7 as leukosialin (CD43) through mass spectrometry, immunoprecipitation, and proximity labeling. Additionally, we demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of NK cells toward K562 cells was suppressed by overexpression of leukosialin in a Siglec-7-dependent manner. Taken together, our data suggest that leukosialin on K562 is a counter-receptor for Siglec-7 on NK cells and that a cluster of the Sia-containing glycan epitope on leukosialin is key as trans-ligand for unmasking the cis-ligand.

ST8SIA2 is an important molecule regulating expression of the phenotype involved in schizophrenia. Lowered promoter activity of the ST8SIA2 gene is considered to be protective against schizophrenia by conferring tolerance to psychosocial stress. Here, we examined the promoter-type composition of anatomically modern humans (AMHs) and archaic humans (AHs; Neanderthals and Denisovans), and compared the promoter activity at the population level (population promoter activity; PPA) between them. In AMHs, the TCT-type, showing the second lowest promoter activity, was most prevalent in the ancestral population of non-Africans. However, the detection of only the CGT-type from AH samples and recombination tracts in AH sequences showed that the CGT- and TGT-types, exhibiting the two highest promoter activities, were common in AH populations. Furthermore, interspecies gene flow occurred into AMHs from AHs and into Denisovans from Neanderthals, influencing promoter-type compositions independently in both AMHs and AHs. The difference of promoter-type composition makes PPA unique in each population. East and Southeast Asian populations show the lowest PPA. This results from the selective increase of the CGC-type, showing the lowest promoter activity, in these populations. Every non-African population shows significantly lower PPA than African populations, resulting from the TCT-type having the highest prevalence in the ancestral population of non-Africans. In addition, PPA reduction is also found among subpopulations within Africa via a slight increase of the TCT-type. These findings indicate a trend toward lower PPA in the spread of AMHs, interpreted as a continuous adaptation to psychosocial stress arising in migration. This trend is considered as genetic tuning for the evolution of collective brains. The inferred promoter-type composition of AHs differed markedly from that of AMHs, resulting in higher PPA in AHs than in AMHs. This suggests that the trend toward lower PPA is a unique feature in AMH spread.

Sialic acids (Sias) are an outermost-situated sugar of glycoproteins and glycolipids to play important roles in various biological phenomena. They are often modified by additional substituents, such as O-acetyl group, to display more than 50 different structures in nature. Of those modified Sia, nothing is known about the occurrence and biological functions of sulfated Sias (SiaSs) in mammals. To elucidate the significance of sialic acid sulfation, we investigated various mammalian-cultured cell lines for the expression of SiaS using the specific antibody 3G9. First, SiaS is expressed in a cell line-dependent and a cell density-dependent manner. Second, in CHO cells, the expression of SiaS is reversibly induced by treatment with the antibiotic G418. Taken together, the expression of SiaS is changed by intrinsic and extrinsic factors in mammalian cells. This is the first demonstration of regulated expression of SiaS.

Bacterial sialidases are widely used to remove sialic acid (Sia) residues from glycans. Most of them cleave the glycosides of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) under acidic pHs; however, currently available bacterial sialidases had no activity to the glycosides of deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn). In this study, we found a novel sialidase from Sphingobacterium sp. strain HMA12 that could cleave any of the glycosides of Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, and Kdn. It also had a broad linkage specificity, i.e., α2,3-, α2,6-, α2,8-, and α2,9-linkages, and the optimal pH at neutral ranges, pH 6.5–7.0. These properties are particularly important when sialidases are applied for in vivo digestion of the cell surface sialosides under physiological conditions. Interestingly, 2,3-didehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac2en), which is a transition state analog-based inhibitor, competitively inhibited the enzyme-catalyzed reaction for Kdn as well as for Neu5Ac, suggesting that the active site is common to the Neu5Ac and Kdn residues. Taken together, this sialidase is versatile and useful for the in vivo research on sialo-glycoconjugates.

The extracellular glycan polysialic acid linked to neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) is principally expressed in the developing brain and the adult neurogenic regions. Although colocalization of PSA-NCAM with cholecystokinin (CCK) was found in the adult brain, the role of PSA-NCAM remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the functional significance of PSA-NCAM in the CA1 region of the male mouse hippocampus. Combined fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry showed that few vesicular glutamate transporter 3-negative/CCK-positive (VGluT3 ^–/CCK ⁺) cells were colocalized with PSA-NCAM, but most of the VGluT3 ⁺/ CCK ⁺ cells were colocalized with PSA-NCAM. The somata of PSA-NCAM ⁺/CCK ⁺ cells were highly innervated by serotonergic boutons than those of PSA-NCAM ^–/CCK ⁺ cells. The expression ratios of 5-HT<inf>3A</inf> receptors and p11, a serotonin receptor-interacting protein, were higher in PSA-NCAM ⁺/CCK ⁺ cells than in PSA-NCAM ^–/CCK ⁺ cells. Pharmacological digestion of PSA-NCAM impaired the efficacy of antidepressant fluoxetine (FLX), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, but not the efficacy of benzodiazepine anxiolytic diazepam. A Western blot showed that restraint stress decreased the expressions of p11 and mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and FLX increased them. Interestingly, the FLX-induced elevation of expression of p11, but not mature BDNF, was impaired by the digestion of PSA-NCAM. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed that restraint stress reduced the expression of polysialyltransferase ST8Sia IV and FLX elevated it. Collectively, PSA-NCAM colocalized with VGluT3 ⁺/CCK ⁺ cells in the CA1 region of the hippocampus may play a unique role in the regulation of antidepressant efficacy via the serotonergic pathway.

Sialic acid (Sia) is known to present as a monosialyl residue at a non-reducing terminal end of glycan in nature. In some cases, Sias occur as polymerized sialyl structures, di/oligo/polysialic acids (diSia/oligoSia/polySias). Here, we focus on the structure, function and biological significance of diSia/oligoSia/polySias. Following the definition of di/oligo/polySia structures and establishment of chemical and immunochemical detection methods, we analyzed these structures and their function based on a set of working hypotheses. So far, the biological meanings of degree of polymerization (DP) were shown and they lead to the change the concept of polySia. In addition, this research is applicable in the study of diseases such as mental disorder and cancer. However, research on the biological significance of the diversity in di/oligo/polySia structures is still ongoing.

74-year-old man lost consciousness immediately after defecation. The loss of consciousness lasted for several minutes, and he experienced difficulty in walking when he regained consciousness. He was transferred to our hospital via an ambulance. Upon neurological examination, nystagmus and ataxia in the left arm and leg were noted. An MRI of the brain revealed multiple acute infarcts mainly in the bilateral cerebellum. Intravenous thrombolytic therapy with alteplase was initiated 3 h and 20 min after the onset of symptoms, and an improvement in neurological symptoms was observed. Echocardiography displayed a mobile mass in the left atrium, suggesting myxoma. After 14 days from the onset of symptoms, the tumor was surgically resected, and a pathological diagnosis of myxoma was established. Because of the unique event surrounding the onset in this case, we considered that there was a potential detachment of myxoma and/or thrombi fragments triggered by an increase in intrathoracic pressure induced by the action of defecation. This present case suggests that clinicians should consider cardiac myxoma in patients with cerebral infarction if the stroke is preceded by a Valsalva maneuver-like action and accompanied by the loss of consciousness.

Polysialic acid (polySia) is a linear polymer of sialic acid that modifies neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in the vertebrate brain. PolySia is a large and exclusive molecule that functions as a negative regulator of cell-cell interactions. Recently, we demonstrated that polySia can specifically bind fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and BDNF; however, the protective effects of polySia on the proteolytic cleavage of these proteins remain unknown, although heparin/heparan sulfate has been shown to impair the cleavage of FGF2 by trypsin. Here, we analyzed the protective effects of polySia on the proteolytic cleavage of FGF2 and proBDNF/BDNF. We found that polySia protected intact FGF2 from tryptic activity via the specific binding of extended polySia chains on NCAM to FGF2. Oligo/polySia also functioned to impair the processing of proBDNF by plasmin via binding of oligo/polySia chains on NCAM. In addition, the polySia structure synthesized by mutated polysialyltransferase, ST8SIA2/STX(SNP7), which was previously identified from a schizophrenia patient, was impaired for these functions compared with polySia produced by normal ST8SIA2. Taken together, these data suggest that the protective effects of polySia toward FGF2 and proBDNF may be involved in the regulation of the concentrations of these neurologically active molecules.

Neurons have well-developed membrane microdomains called "rafts" that are recovered as a detergent-resistant membrane microdomain fraction (DRM). Neuronal tissue-enriched acidic protein of 22 kDa (NAP-22) is one of the major protein components of neuronal DRM. To determine the cellular function of NAP-22, interacting proteins were screened with an immunoprecipitation assay, and calcineurin (CaN) was detected. Further studies with NAP-22 prepared from DRM and CaN expressed in bacteria showed the binding of these proteins and a dose-dependent inhibitory effect of the NAP-22 fraction on the phosphatase activity of CaN. On the other hand, NAP-22 expressed in bacteria showed low binding to CaN and a weak inhibitory effect on phosphatase activity. To solve this discrepancy, identification of a nonprotein component that modulates CaN activity in the DRM-derived NAP-22 fraction was attempted. After lyophilization, a lipid fraction was extracted with chloroform/methanol. The lipid fraction showed an inhibitory effect on CaN without NAP-22, and further fractionation of the extract with thin-layer chromatography showed the presence of several lipid bands having an inhibitory effect on CaN. The mobility of these bands coincided with that of authentic ganglioside (GM1a, GD1a, GD1b, and GT1b), and authentic ganglioside showed an inhibitory effect on CaN. Treatment of lipid with endoglycoceramidase, which degrades ganglioside to glycochain and ceramide, caused a diminution of the inhibitory effect. These results show that DRM-derived NAP-22 binds several lipids, including ganglioside, and that ganglioside inhibits the phosphatase activity of CaN.

As acidic glycocalyx on primary mouse microglial cells and a mouse microglial cell line Ra2, expression of polysialic acid (polySia/PSA), a polymer of the sialic acid Neu5Ac (N-acetylneuraminic acid), was demonstrated. PolySia is known to modulate cell adhesion, migration, and localization of neurotrophins mainly on neural cells. PolySia on Ra2 cells disappeared very rapidly after an inflammatory stimulus. Results of knockdown and inhibitor studies indicated that rapid surface clearance of polySia was achieved by secretion of endogenous sialidase Neu1 as an exovesicular component. Neu1-mediated polySia turnover was accompanied by the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor normally retained by polySia molecules. Introduction of a single oxygen atom change into polySia by exogenous feeding of the non-neural sialic acid Neu5Gc (N-glycolylneuraminic acid) caused resistance to Neu1-induced polySia turnover and also inhibited the associated release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. These results indicate the importance of rapid turnover of the poly-Sia glycocalyx by exovesicular sialidases in neurotrophin regulation.

The 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70), one of the major stress-inducible molecular chaperones, is localized not only in the cytosol, but also in extracellular milieu in mammals. Hsp70 interacts with various cell surface glycolipids including sulfatide (3'-sulfogalactosphingolipid). However, the molecular mechanism, as well as the biological relevance, underlying the glycolipid-Hsp70 interaction is unknown. Here we report that sulfatide promotes Hsp70 oligomerization through the N-terminal ATPase domain, which stabilizes the binding of Hsp70 to unfolded protein in vitro. We find that the Hsp70 oligomer has apparent molecular masses ranging from 440 kDa to greater than 669 kDa. The C-terminal peptide-binding domain is dispensable for the sulfatide-induced oligomer formation. The oligomer formation is impaired in the presence of ATP, while the Hsp70 oligomer, once formed, is unable to bind to ATP. These results suggest that sulfatide locks Hsp70 in a high-affinity state to unfolded proteins by clustering the peptide-binding domain and blocking the binding to ATP that induces the dissociation of Hsp70 from protein substrates.

Mammalian sperm acquire fertility through a functional maturation process called capacitation, where sperm membrane molecules are drastically remodeled. In this study, we found that a wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-reactive protein on lipid rafts, named WGA16, is removed from the sperm surface on capacitation. WGA16 is a prostate-derived seminal plasma protein that has never been reported and is deposited on the sperm surface in themalereproductive tract. BasedonproteinandcDNAsequences for purified WGA16, it is a homologue of human zymogen granule protein16(ZG16) belonging to the Jacalin-related lectin (JRL) family in crystal and primary structures. A glycan array shows that WGA16 binds heparin through a basic patch containing Lys-53/ Lys-73 residues but not the conventional lectin domain of the JRL family. WGA16 is glycosylated, contrary to other ZG16 members, and comparative mass spectrometry clearly shows its unique N-glycosylation profile among seminal plasma proteins. It has exposed GlcNAc and GalNAc residues without additional Gal residues. The GlcNAc/GalNAc residues can work as binding ligands foraspermsurface galactosyltransferase,whichactually galactosylatesWGA16in situ in the presence of UDP-Gal. Interestingly, surface removal of WGA16 is experimentally induced by either UDPGal or heparin. In the crystal structure, N-glycosylated sites and a potential heparin-binding site face opposite sides. This geography of two functional sites suggest that WGA16 is deposited on the sperm surface through interaction between its N-glycans and the surface galactosyltransferase, whereas its heparin-binding domain may be involvedinbindingto sulfatedglycosaminoglycansinthefemaletract, enabling removal ofWGA16from the sperm surface.

As an anti-adhesive, a reservoir for key biological molecules, and a modulator of signaling, polysialic acid (polySia) is critical for nervous system development and maintenance, promotes cancer metastasis, tissue regeneration and repair, and is implicated in psychiatric diseases. In this review, we focus on the biosynthesis and functions of mammalian polySia, and the use of polySia in therapeutic applications. PolySia modifies a small subset of mammalian glycoproteins, with the neural cell adhesion molecule, NCAM, serving as its major carrier. Studies show that mammalian polysialyltransferases employ a unique recognition mechanism to limit the addition of polySia to a select group of proteins. PolySia has long been considered an anti-adhesive molecule, and its impact on cell adhesion and signaling attributed directly to this property. However, recent studies have shown that polySia specifically binds neurotrophins, growth factors, and neurotransmitters and that this binding depends on chain length. This work highlights the importance of considering polySia quality and quantity, and not simply its presence or absence, as its various roles are explored. The capsular polySia of neuroinvasive bacteria allows these organisms to evade the host immune response. While this "stealth" characteristic has made meningitis vaccine development difficult, it has also made polySia a worthy replacement for polyetheylene glycol in the generation of therapeutic proteins with low immunogenicity and improved circulating half-lives. Bacterial polysialyltransferases are more promiscuous than the protein-specific mammalian enzymes, and new studies suggest that these enzymes have tremendous therapeutic potential, especially for strategies aimed at neural regeneration and tissue repair.

Polysialic acid is a linear homopolymer of α2-8-linked sialic acids attached mainly onto glycoproteins. Cell surface polysialic acid plays roles in cell adhesion and differentiation events in a manner that is often dependent on the degree of polymerization (DP). Anti-oligo/polysialic acid antibodies have DP-dependent antigenic specificity, and such antibodies are widely utilized in biological studies for detecting and distinguishing between different oligo/polysialic acids. A murine monoclonal antibody mAb735 has a unique preference for longer polymers of polysialic acid (DP > 10), yet the mechanism of recognition at the atomic level remains unclear. Here, we report the crystal structure of mAb735 single chain variable fragment (scFv735) in complex with octasialic acid at 1.8 Å resolution. In the asymmetric unit, two scFv735 molecules associate with one octasialic acid. In both complexes of the unit, all the complementaritydetermining regions except for L3 interact with three consecutive sialic acid residues out of the eight. A striking feature of the complex is that 11 ordered water molecules bridge the gap between antibody and ligand, whereas the direct antibodyligand interaction is less extensive. The dihedral angles of the trisialic acid unit directly interacting with scFv735 are not uniform, indicating that mAb735 does not strictly favor the previously proposed helical conformation. Importantly, both reducing and nonreducing ends of the bound ligand are completely exposed to solvent. We suggest that mAb735 gains its apparent high affinity for a longer polysialic acid chain by recognizing every three sialic acid units in a paired manner. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

We previously reported on the accumulation of a substantial amount of free N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac)-containing complex-type N-glycans in human pancreatic cancer cells (Yabu M, Korekane H, Takahashi H, Ohigashi H, Ishikawa O, Miyamoto Y. 2013. Accumulation of free Neu5Ac-containing complex-type N-glycans in human pancreatic cancers. Glycoconj J, 30(3):247-256). In the present paper, we further extend our cancer glycomic study of human prostate cancer. Specifically, we demonstrate that, in addition to the free Neu5Ac-containing N-glycans, significant amounts of free deaminoneuraminic acid (KDN, 2-keto-3-deoxy-d-glycero-d-galacto-nononic acid)-containing N-glycans had accumulated in the prostate cancer tissues from four of five patients. Indeed, in one of the four cases, the free KDN glycans accumulated as major components in prostate cancer tissue. The structures of the KDN-containing free oligosaccharides were analyzed by a variety of methods. Specifically, we used fluorescent labeling with aminopyridine combined with two-dimensional mapping, KDNase digestion and mass spectrometry to facilitate identification. The analysis also utilized newly synthesized KDN-linked oligosaccharides as standards. The prostate-specific glycans were composed of five species having the following sequence, KDN-Gal-GlcNAc-Man-Man-GlcNAc (α2,6-KDN-linked glycans being the dominant form). The most abundant free KDN-containing N-glycan was KDNα2-6Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-2Manα1-3Manβ1-4GlcNAc followed by KDNα2-6Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-2Manα1-6Manβ1- 4GlcNAc. This is the first study to show unequivocal chemical evidence for the occurrence of KDN glycoconjugates in human tissues together with their detailed structures. These oligosaccharides might be developed as tumor markers, especially for prostate cancer. © 2012 The Author.

Psychiatric disorders are a group of human diseases that impair higher cognitive functions. Whole-genomic analyses have recently identified susceptibility genes for several psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Among the genes reported to be involved in psychiatric disorders, a gene encoding a polysialyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of polysialic acid (polySia or PSA) on cell surfaces has attracted attention for its potential role in emotion, learning, memory, circadian rhythm, and behaviors. PolySia is a unique polymer that spatio-temporally modifies neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and is predominantly found in embryonic brains, although it persists in areas of the adult brain where neural plasticity, remodeling of neural connections, or neural generation is ongoing, such as the hippocampus, subventricular zone, thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala. PolySia is thought to be involved in the regulation of cell-cell interactions; however, recent evidence suggests that it is also involved in the functional regulation of ion channels and neurologically active molecules, such as BDNF, FGF2, and dopamine that are deeply involved in psychiatric disorders. In this review, the possible involvement of polysialyltransferase (ST8SIA2/ST8SiaII/STX/Siat8B) and its enzymatic product, polySia, in schizophrenia is discussed. © 2013 Sato and Kitajima.

Sialic acid, a common terminal substitution of glycoconjugates, has been so far consistently identified in all vertebrates as well as in a growing number of bacterial species. It is assumed to be widely distributed among animal species of the deuterostome phylum, based on its identification in few echinoderm and all vertebrate species. However, whole sections of deuterostome, especially those intermediate species between invertebrates and vertebrates including cephalochordates, urochordates and hemichordates, are still unexplored in term of sialylation capacities. The discovery of functional sialic acid machinery in some of these species may shed new light onto the evolution of glycosylation capacities in deuterostome lineage. In a first approach, we investigated the sialylation pattern of a cephalocordate species, Branchiostoma belcheri, which occupies a strategic phylogenetic position to understand the transition of invertebrates toward vertebrates. Structural analysis of B. belcheri glycoconjugates established that this organism synthesizes large quantities of various sialic acids, some of which present rare or novel structures such as methylated sialic acids. These sialic acids were shown to be mainly associated with mono-and disialylated core 1-type O-glycans. Moreover, screening of the animal organs revealed the existence of exquisite tissue specificity in the distribution of sialic acids. Description of sialylation profiles was then correlated with the expression patterns of key enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of major forms of sialic acids, which provides the first complete overview of the sialylation patterns in cephalochordates. © 2011 The Author.

Polysialic acid (polySia) is a homopolymer of sialic acid with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 8-100. When present on neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), polySia has anti-adhesive effects on cell-cell interactions owing to its bulky polyanionic nature, and is involved in the regulation of neurogenesis and neuronal functions. Recently, we demonstrated that polySia functions not only as an anti-cell adhesion molecule, but also as a reservoir scaffold for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), which are biologically active molecules in neurogenesis. To understand the significance of polySia structure in the reservoir function, we focused on polySia-NCAM biosynthesized by mutated polysialyltransferase (ST8SiaII or STX) that was reported in a schizophrenia patient. The polySia-NCAM biosynthesized by mutant ST8SiaII/STX contained less polySia with shorter chain length and exhibited impaired reservoir function for BDNF and FGF2 as compared with that synthesized by wild-type (wt) ST8SiaII/STX. Our findings suggest that the quantity and quality of polySia on NCAM are important for normal neuronal functioning. © 2012 IU PAC.

Naturally occurring polysialic acid (polySia) structures have a large diversity, primarily arising from the diversity in the sialic acid components as well as in the intersialyl linkages. In 2004, we demonstrated the presence of a new type of polySia, 8-O-sulfated N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) capped α2,9-linked polyNeu5Ac, on the O-glycans of a major 40-80 kDa sialoglycoprotein, flagellasialin, in sea urchin sperm. In this study, we demonstrated that another type of polySia, the α2,8-linked polyNeu5Ac, exclusively occurs on O-glycans of a 190 kDa glycoprotein (190 kDa-gp), whereas the α2,9-linked polyNeu5Ac is exclusively present on flagellasialin. The 190 kDa-gp is localized in both flagellum and head of sperm. We also demonstrated that polysialogangliosides containing the α2,8-linked polyNeu5Ac are present in sperm head. Thus, this study shows two novel features of the occurrence of polySia in nature, the co-localization of polySia with different intersialyl linkages, the α2,8-and α2,9-linkages, in a single cell and the occurrence of α2,8-linked polyNeu5Ac in glycolipids. Anti-α2,8-linked polyNeu5Ac antibody had no effect on fertilization, which contrasted with the previous results that anti-α2,9-linked polyNeu5Ac antibody inhibited sperm motility and fertilization. Based on these properties, distinct functions of α2,8-and α2,9-polySia structures are implicated in fertilization. © 2011 The Author.

Polysialic acid (polySia), particularly α2,8-linked polyNeu5Ac (DP=8~400), is a unique polymer that spatiotemporally modifies neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), predominantly in embryonic brains. PolySia is considered to function as a negative regulator of adhesion between cells, and between cells and extracellular matrix due to its extremely polyanionic nature and steric hindrance. Through its antiadhesive property and spatio-temporal expression, polySia is involved in cell migration, neural outgrowth, axonal guidance, synaptic plasticity, and the development of normal neural circuits and neurogenesis. Due to improvements of polySiadetection methods, it has been shown that polySia expression persists in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb of adults, where neurogenesis is ongoing; however, the functions of polySia, particularly in adult brains, remain incompletely resolved. Recently, we demonstrated that polySia functions not only as an anti-adhesive molecule, but also as a reservoir for specific bioactive molecules, such as neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitters, and growth factors, which regulate neural function. In addition, studies have revealed that the enzymatic activity of STX, which is involved in the synthesis of polySia, derived from schizophrenic patient is low and that the product of the enzyme, polySia on NCAM is impaired with respect to both quantity and quality. Notably, impaired polySia-NCAM cannot effectively retain bioactive molecules, including BDNF, dopamine, and FGF2. Taken together, the impairment of polySia might influence the retention function of polySia and lead to the development of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, which are reported to express either lower or elevated amounts of polySia compared with normal brains. ©2011 FCCA.

Polysialic acid (polySia), a unique acidic glycan modifying neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), is known to regulate embryonic neural development and adult brain functions. Polysialyltransferase STX is responsible for the synthesis of polySia, and two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the coding region of STX are reported from schizophrenic patients: SNP7 and SNP9, respectively, giving STX(G421A) with E141K and STX(C621G) with silent mutations. In this study, we focused on these mutations and a binding activity of polySia to neural materials, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Here we describe three new findings. First, STX(G421A) shows a dramatic decrease in polySia synthetic activity on NCAM, whereas STX(C621G) does not. The STX(G421A)-derived polySia-NCAM contains a lower amount of polySia with a shorter chain length. Second, polySia shows a dopamine (DA) binding activity, which is a new function of polySia as revealed by frontal affinity chromatography for measuring the polySia-neurotransmitter interactions. Interestingly, the STX(G421A)-derived polySia-NCAM completely loses the DA binding activity, whereas it greatly diminishes but does not lose the BDNF binding activity. Third, an impairment of the polySia structure with an endosialidase modulates the DA-mediated Akt signaling. Taken together, impairment of the amount and quality of polySia may be involved in psychiatric disorders through impaired binding to BDNF and DA, which are deeply involved in schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder. © 2011 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

Few common carbohydrate epitopes consisting of terminal β-(1,2)-xylose and/or α-(1,3)-fucose residues are shared by a variety of glycoproteins from plants, insects and parasitic worms, termed cross-reactive carbohydrate determinant (CCD), and frequently recognized by IgE antibodies of patients with food and/or respiratory allergy, though clinical relevancy of such CCD-specific IgE is still controversial. Attention has also been focused on CCDs from the undesired post-translational modification of recombinant therapeutic proteins produced by transgenic plants and insects. In the present study, to clarify immunogenic potentials of CCD-bearing glycoproteins, the antibody response to a model plant glycoprotein, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was investigated in a mouse model. C3H/He mice were immunized with HRP plus Al(OH)<inf>3</inf> or Freund's adjuvant, and IgG and IgE responses to CCDs in addition to HRP were analyzed by ELISA using some distinct glycoproteins with known N-glycan structures. IgE response to HRP was induced remarkably, whereas that to CCD was weaker and delayed. Moreover, apparent ratio of the CCD-specific antibodies to HRP-specific ones tended to be higher in IgG2a and IgG2b isotypes than IgG1, IgG3 and IgE. In contrast to rabbit antibodies, the CCD-specific antibodies from the mice gave poor reactivity with bromelain and honeybee phospholipase A2, suggesting the critical role of both β-(1,2)-xylose and α-(1,3)-mannose in the CCD-recognition by the mouse antibodies. Moreover, the mouse antibodies showed weaker cross-reactivity to pollen- and insect-derived glycoproteins than the rabbit ones. Thus, in this mouse model, not only IgE but also IgG2 antibody responses to CCDs were induced by immunizing with a CCD-bearing glycoprotein, suggesting that CCDs affected not only Th2-type but also Th1-type antibody response at least in C3H/He mice. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is the second most populous sialic acid (Sia). The only known biosynthetic pathway of Neu5Gc is the hydroxylation of cytidine-5′monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac), catalyzed by CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase (CMAH). Neu5Gc is abundantly found in mammals except for human, in which CMAH is inactivated due to mutation in the CMAH gene. Evidence has accumulated to show occurrence of Neu5Gc-containing glycoconjugates in sera of cancer patients, human cancerous tissues and cultured human cell lines. Recently, occurrence of natural antibodies against Neu5Gc was shown in healthy humans and is a serious problem for clinical xenotransplantation and stem cell therapies. Studying human occurrence of Neu5Gc is of importance and interest in a broad area of medical sciences. In this study, using a fluorometric high performance liquid chromatography method, we performed quantitative analyses of Sias both inside and in the external environment of the cell and found that (i) incorporation of Neu5Gc was most prominent in soluble glycoproteins found both in the extracellular space and inside the cell as the major Sia compounds. (ii) Of the total Neu5Gc in the Sia compounds that the cells synthesized, 90% was found in the secreted sialoglycoproteins, whereas for Neu5Ac, 70% was found in the secreted sialoglycoproteins. (iii) The Neu5Gc ratio was higher in the secreted sialoglycoproteins (as high as 40% of total Sias) than in intracellular sialoglycoproteins. (iv) The majority of the secreted sialoglycoproteins was anchored on the culture dishes and solubilized by brief trypsin treatment. Based on these findings, a new idea on the mechanism of accumulation of Neu5Gc in cancer cells was proposed. © The Author 2010. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.

Proteins and lipids are often modified with glycan chains, which due to their large hydration effect and structural heterogeneity, significantly alter the surface physicochemical properties of proteins and biomembranes. This "glyco-atmosphere" also serves as a field for interactions with various molecules, including other glycans, lipids, peptides, proteins, and small molecules such as neurotransmitters and drugs as well as lectins. Therefore, sensitive techniques for measuring these glycan-based interactions are becoming more and more necessary, with the appropriate method largely depending on the interacting molecules. In this chapter, we focus on frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for examining polysialic acid-involved interactions with neurotransmitters and neurotrophins. FAC is characterized by its applicability to analyze weak interactions that are difficult to measure using conventional methods, and by the ease of principle and experimental procedures. SPR is advantageous due to the availability of suitable surface materials and for real-time monitoring with nonlabeled analytes. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), large anionic glycopolymers, are the glycan portion of proteoglycans and are important components of the extracellular matrix. Recently we reported that polysialic acid, a polyanionic glycopolymer specific to the brain, binds neurotrophic factors to form a large complex. It is not clear whether GAGs also bind neurotrophic factors to form a large complex. In the present study, we demonstrate that a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) dimer directly binds GAGs other than chondroitin and hyaluronic acid to form a large complex. Neurotrophin-3 showed similar GAG binding properties. Furthermore, BDNF, after forming a large complex with GAG, bound to the BDNF receptors tropomyosin-related kinase (Trk) B and p75 neurotrophin receptor (NTR). These findings suggest that GAGs function to produce a reservoir of BDNF and other neurotrophic factors, and may serve to regulate their local concentrations on the cell surface.

Zebrafish appears as a relevant model for the functional study of glycoconjugates along vertebrate's development. Indeed, as a prelude to such studies, we have previously identified a vast array of potentially stage-specific glycoconjugates, which structures are reminiscent of glycosylation pathways common to all vertebrates. In the present study, we have focused on the identification and regulation of major protein and lipids associated α2-8-linked oligosialic acids motifs in the early development of zebrafish. By a combination of partial hydrolysis, anion exchange HPLC-FD and mass spectrometry, we demonstrated that glycoproteins and glycolipids differed by the extent and the nature of their substituting oligosialylated sequences. Furthermore, relative quantifications showed that α2-8-linked sialylation was differentially regulated in both families of glycoconjugates along development. Accordingly, we established that α2,8-sialyltransferase mRNA levels was directly correlated with changes of α2,8-sialylation status of glycolipids, but independent of those observed on major glycoproteins that appear to originate from the mother. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

Formation of membrane microdomain is critical for cell migration (epiboly) during gastrulation of medaka fish [Adachi et al. (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 358:848-853, 2007)]. In this study, we characterized membrane microdomain from gastrula embryos to understand its roles in epiboly. A cell adhesion molecule (E-cadherin), its associated protein (β-catenin), transducer proteins (PLCγ, cSrc), and a cytoskeleton protein (β-actin) were enriched in the membrane microdomain. Le^X- containing glycolipids and glycoproteins (Le^X-gp) were exclusively enriched in the membrane microdomain. Interestingly, the isolated membrane microdomain had the ability to bind to each other in the presence of Ca ²⁺. This membrane microdomain binding was achieved through the E-cadherin homophilic and the Le^X-glycan-mediated interactions. E-cadherin and Le^X-gp were co-localized on the same membrane microdomain, suggesting that these two interactions are operative at the same time. Thus, the membrane microdomain functions as a platform of the E-cadherin- and Le^X-glycan-mediated cell adhesion and signal transduction. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

Polysialic acid (polySia) is the homopolymer of sialic acid and negatively regulates neuronal cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions through steric and repulsive hindrance due to its bulky polyanionic structure. Whether polySia also functions as a positive regulator in the nervous system through binding to specific ligands is not known. In the present study, we demonstrated that a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) dimer binds directly to polySia to form a large complex with an M<inf>r</inf> greater than 2000 kDa under physiologic conditions. Although somewhat affected by the linkage and type of sialic acid components in the polySia, the complex formation is highly dependent on the polySia chain length. The minimum degree of polymerization required for the complex formation is 12. This is the first study to demonstrate the biologic significance of the degree of polySia polymerization in eukaryotes. Similar large polySia complexes form with other neurotrophic factors such as nerve growth factor, neurotrophin-3, and neurotrophin-4. Furthermore, the BDNF, after making a complex with polySia, can bind to the BDNF receptors, TrkB and p75NTR. The complex formation of BDNF with polySia upregulates growth or/and survival of neuroblastoma cells. These findings suggest that polySia functions as a reservoir of BDNF and other neurotrophic factors and may serve to regulate their local concentrations on the cell surface. © The Author 2008.

Sulfated sialic acid (SiaS) is a unique sialic acid (Sia) derivative in which an additional anionic group is attached to a carboxylated monosaccharide. Very little is known about the occurrence and biologic function of SiaS, due to the limitations of analytical methods to detect it in minute amounts. In this study, to develop methods and probes for detecting and pursuing the functions of SiaS, we developed sensitive chemical and immunochemical detection methods. First, we synthesized as model compounds 4-methylumbelliferyl glycosides of 8-O- and 9-O-sulfated Sia consisting of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), and deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn). Second, we applied fluorometric high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis to these synthetic glycosides. After acid hydrolysis of the samples, the liberated SiaS were labeled with a fluorescent reagent, 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene, and analyzed on fluorometric HPLC. We established an optimal elution condition for successful separation of 8-O- and 9-O-sulfated Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, and Kdn on HPLC. Third, we generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2C4 against SiaS using sea urchin egg components as the immunogen. mAb.2C4 recognizes both 8-O-sulfated Neu5Ac (Neu5Ac8S) and Neu5Gc8S, whereas the previously prepared mAb.3G9 only recognizes Neu5Ac8S. Finally, using the fluorometric HPLC and monoclonal antibodies, we demonstrated that glycoconjugates from sea urchin sperm exclusively contained Neu5Ac8S, whereas those from eggs contained Neu5Gc8S. Furthermore, we clarified the quantitative differences in the SiaS content in eggs and sperm from two different species of sea urchins. Immunostaining using mAb.2C4 showed that Neu5Gc8S is localized in the cortical granules in unfertilized eggs, whereas it is localized in the outer surface of the fertilization layer as well as in the inner surface of fertilized eggs. Thus, 8-O-sulfation is dependent on the species, gametic cell-type, site-localization of the eggs, and glycoconjugates. © 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

The terminal sugar sialic acid (Sia) plays a pivotal role in cell-cell interaction and recognition. A prerequisite for the biosynthesis of sialoglycoconjugates is the activation of Sia to cytidine monophosphate-Sia (CMP-Sia), by CMP-Sia synthetases (CMP-Sia-syn). CMP-Sia-syn are conserved from bacteria to man, and have been found to reside in the nucleus of all vertebrate species analysed to date. We previously cloned the CMP-Sia-syn from rainbow trout (rt) and identified three clusters of basic amino acids (BC) that might act as nuclear localization signals (NLS). Here, we utilised chimeric proteins and rt CMP-Sia-syn mutants in which putative NLS sequences were deleted, to identify the nuclear transport signal. Divergent from the mouse enzyme, where the crucial NLS is part of the enzyme's active site, in the rt CMP-Sia-syn the NLS and active site are disparate. The crucial NLS in the fish enzyme is bipartite and the functionality depends on a free N-terminus. Comparative analysis of all putative rt NLS in mouse and fish cells identified a second inferior motif (rtBC5-6), which was functional only in fish cells suggesting some differences in transport mechanism or folding variabilities in fish. Moreover, based on computational analyses of putative CMP-Sia-syn from distant deuterostomian organisms it was concluded that CMP-Sia-syn nuclear localization is a relatively recent invention, originating in echinoderms. In summary, our data describing structural differences in the NLS of vertebrate CMP-Sia-syn, and the independence of Sia activation from the subcellular localization of the enzyme, provide supporting evidence that nuclear localization is linked to a second yet unknown function. © The Author 2007.

Membrane microdomain (microdomain) was isolated from early gastrula embryos. The isolated microdomain was characterized by enrichment of cholesterol and sphingomyelin, and by the presence of huge glycoproteins containing Lewis X structure. Importance of the microdomain in the progress of epiboly was assessed using methyl β-cyclodextrin (MBCD) and C2-ceramide that disrupt microdomains through different mechanisms. Both reagents efficiently disrupted the microdomain structure and concomitantly impaired epiboly. Interestingly, when embryos pretreated with MBCD, a cholesterol-binding molecule, were exogenously supplemented with cholesterol, the embryos underwent not only reconstitution of the microdomain, but also complete restoration to the normal epiboly. Thus, normal or impaired development is reversibly controlled by the cholesterol-dependent formation or disruption of microdomains. The most typical phenotype of the microdomain-disrupted embryos is detachment of cells from the blastoderm, suggesting that a major contribution of microdomains to epiboly is cell adhesion of blastodermal cells. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Hypoxia is a common characteristic of locally advanced tumors and cancer cells of high invasiveness and metastasis. We first demonstrate that hypoxic culture of human cancer HeLa, LS174T, and Caco-2 cells enhances the de novo synthesis of free sialic acids including deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn), a unique sialic acid. Hypoxic cultures enhance expression of the N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) 9-phosphate synthetase (NPS) and phosphomannoisomerase (PMI) mRNAs and their enzymatic activities. In addition, incorporation of mannose (Man) into the cells is also enhanced. The elevated NPS activity facilitates the synthesis of Kdn as well as Neu5Ac, a typical sialic acid in human. The increased PMI activity, together with the enhanced Man-incorporation ability, leads to the increase of mannose 6-phosphate, which is a substrate of NPS, and subsequently results in the increased expression of Kdn, but not Neu5Ac. Kdn may thus be a target for diagnosis of cancers. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The CMP-sialic acid synthetase (CSS) catalyzes the activation of sialic acid (Sia) to CMP-Sia which is a donor substrate of sialyltransferases. The vertebrate CSSs are usually localized in nucleus due to the nuclear localization signal (NLS) on the molecule. In this study, we first point out that a small, but significant population of the mouse CMP-sialic acid synthetase (mCSS) is also present in cytoplasm, though mostly in nucleus. As a mechanism for the localization in cytoplasm, we first identified two nuclear export signals (NESs) in mCSS, based on the localization studies of the potential NES-deleted mCSS mutants as well as the potential NES-tagged eGFP proteins. These two NESs are conserved among mammalian and fish CSSs, but not present in the bacterial or insect CSS. These results suggest that the intracellular localization of vertebrate CSSs is regulated by not only the NLS, but also the NES sequences. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Naturally occurring polysialic acids (polySias), a unique homopolymer of sialic acid (Sia) residues, have a large structural diversity, primarily arising from the diversities in Sia components as well as in the intersialyl linkages. The α2,8-linked polySia on the neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAM) is the most extensively studied and recognized as a regulator of cell-cell interactions during development and differentiation in vertebrate brain. However, little is known about the occurrence and functions of polySia other than the α2,8-linked polySia on NCAM. Recently, it has been shown that polySia occurs in nature more frequently than previously recognized, as analytical methods to detect polySia structures have been greatly improved. Using these methods, two different types of polySia, α2,8- and α2,9-linked polySia, have been discovered on the sea urchin sperm, although the α2,5O glycolyl-linked polySia was already known in sea urchin egg. This is the first example of the co-localization of polySia with different intersialyl linkages in the same cell. The α2,9-linked polySia-containing glycoprotein of sea urchin sperm flagella was identified and named "flagellasialin". The α2,9-linked polySia on flagellasialin is suggested as a regulator of intracellular Ca 2+ and sperm motility. In addition, the α2,50 glycolyl-linked polySia has recently been shown to increase intracellular pH and potentiate acrosome reaction of sea urchin sperm. These results indicate that these polySia structures in sea urchin gametes have new functions other than the negative regulator for the NCAM-mediated cell adhesion. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in structural and functional studies of polySia in sea urchin gametes. © 2007 FCCA.

A new property of a heat-inducible heat shock protein (Hsp) 70.1 that it forms a complex with acidic lipids was first demonstrated. Based on the behaviors of the complexes on the native PAGE, the acidic lipid/Hsp70.1 complexes are categorized into two groups. The first group is the sulfatide-induced large-sized complex, which stays on the gel top on the native PAGE. Only the N-terminal ATPase domain is responsible for the complex formation. The second group is the ganglioside-induced complex, which is diffused in the resolution gel on the native PAGE. Both the N-terminal ATPase and the C-terminal peptide-binding domains are involved in the complex formation. No complex is formed by neutral glyco- and phospholipids. The complex formation with the acidic glyco- and phospholipids implicates the various functions of Hsp70 on the membrane surfaces. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Polysialoglycoprotein (PSGP) in salmonid fish egg is a unique glycoprotein bearing α2,8-linked polysialic acid (polySia) on its O-linked glycans. Biosynthesis of the polySia chains is developmentally regulated and only occurs at later stage of oogenesis. Two α2,8-polysialyltransferases (α2,8-polySTs), PST (ST8Sia IV) and STX (ST8Sia II), responsible for the biosynthesis of polySia on N-glycans of glycoproteins, are known in mammals. However, nothing has been known about which α2,8-polySTs are involved in the biosynthesis of polySia on O-linked glycans in any glycoproteins. We thus sought to identify cDNA encoding the α2,8-polyST involved in polysialylation of PSGP. A clone for PST orthologue, rtPST, and two clones for the STX orthologue, rtSTX-ov and rtSTX-em, were identified in rainbow trout. The deduced amino acid sequence of rtPST shows a high identity (72-77%) to other vertebrate PSTs, while that of rtSTX-ov shows 92% identity with rtSTX-em and a significant identity (63-76%) to other vertebrate STXs. The rtPST exhibited the in vivo α2,8-polyST activity, although its in vitro activity was low. However, the rtSTXs showed no in vivo and very low in vitro activities. Interestingly, co-existence of rtPST and rSTX-ov in the reaction mixture synergistically enhanced the α2,8-polyST activity. During oogenesis, rtPST was constantly expressed, while the expression of rtSTX-ov was not increased until polySia chain is abundantly biosynthesized in the later stage. rtSTX-em was not expressed in ovary. These results suggest that the enhanced expression of rtSTX-ov under the co-expression with rtPST may be important for the biosynthesis of polySia on O-linked glycans of PSGP. © 2006 The Japanese Biochemical Society.

Deaminoneuraminic acid (KDN) is a unique member of the sialic acid family. We previously demonstrated that free KDN is synthesized de novo from mannose as its precursor sugar in trout testis, and that the amount of intracellular KDN increases in mouse B16 melanoma cells cultured in mannose-rich media [Angata et al. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 22949-56; Angata et al. (1999) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 261, 326-31]. In the present study, we first demonstrated a mannose-induced increase in intracellular KDN in various cultured mouse and human cell lines. These results led us to examine whether KDN expression in mouse organs is altered by exogenously administered mannose. Under normal feeding conditions, intracellular free KDN was present at very low levels (19-48 pmol/mg protein) in liver, spleen, and lung, and was not detected in kidney or brain. Oral ingestion of mannose, both short-term (90 min) and long-term (2 wk), resulted in an increase of intracellular KDN up to 60-81 pmol/mg protein in spleen and lung and 6.9-18 pmol/mg protein in kidney and brain; however, no change was observed in liver. The level of KDN in organs appears not to be determined only by the KDN 9-phosphate synthase activity, but might also be affected by other enzymes that utilize mannose 6-phosphate as a substrate as well as the enzymes that breakdown KDN, like KDN-pyruvate lyase. In blood, the detectable amount of free KDN did not change on oral ingestion of mannose. These findings indicate that mannose in the diet affects KDN metabolism in various organs, and provide clues to the mechanism of altered KDN expression in some tumor cells and aged organs. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2006.

A milk membrane glycoprotein, MFG-E8 [milk fat globule-EGF (epidermal growth factor) factor 8], is expressed abundantly in lactating mammary glands in stage- and tissue-specific manners, and has been believed to be secreted in association with milk fat globules. In the present paper, we describe further up-regulation of MFG-E8 in involuting mammary glands, where the glands undergo a substantial increase in the rate of epithelial cell apoptosis, and a possible role of MFG-E8 in mediating recognition and engulfment of apoptotic cells through its specific binding to PS (phosphatidylserine). Immunoblotting and RNA blotting analyses revealed that both MFG-E8 protein and MFG-E8 mRNA were markedly increased in mammary tissue within 3 days of either natural or forced weaning (pup withdrawal) of lactating mice. Using immunohistochemical analysis of the mammary tissue cryosections, the MFG-E8 signal was detected around the epithelium of such involuting mammary glands, but was almost undetectable at early- and mid-lactation stages, although strong signals were obtained for milk fat globules stored in the alveolar lumen. Some signals double positive to a macrophage differentiation marker, CD68, and MFG-E8 were detected in the post-weaning mammary tissue, although such double-positive signals were much smaller in number than the MFG-E8 single-positive ones. Total MFG-E8 i n milk was also increased in the post-weaning mammary glands and, furthermore, the free MFG-E8 content in the post-weaning milk, as measured by in vitro PS-binding and apoptotic HC11 cell-binding activities, was much higher than that of lactation. In addition, the post-weaning milk enhanced the binding of apoptotic HC11 cells to J774 macrophages. Sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation analyses revealed that such enhanced PS-binding activity of MFG-E8 was present in membrane vesicle fractions (density 1.05-1.13 g/ml), rather than milk fat globule fractions. The weaning-induced MFG-E8 might play an important role in the recognition and engulfment of apoptotic epithelial cells by the neighbouring phagocytic epithelial cells in involuting mammary glands. © 2006 Biochemical Society.

Tumor hypoxia figures heavily in malignant progression by altering the intracellular glucose metabolism and inducing angiogenic factor production, thus, selecting and expanding more aggressive cancer cell clones. Little is known, however, regarding hypoxia-induced antigenic changes in cancers. We investigated the expression of N-glycolyl sialic acid (NeuGc)-G<inf>M2</inf>, a cancer-associated ganglioside containing non-human sialic acid, NeuGc, in human cancers. Cancer tissues prepared from patients with colon cancers frequently expressed NeuGc-G<inf>M2</inf>, whereas it was virtually absent in nonmalignant colonic epithelia. Studies on cultured cancer cells indicated that the non-human sialic acid was incorporated from culture medium. Hypoxic culture markedly induced mRNA for a sialic acid transporter, sialin, and this accompanied enhanced incorporation of NeuGc as well as N-acetyl sialic acid. Transfection of cells with sialin gene conferred accelerated sialic acid transport and induced cell surface expression of NeuGc-G<inf>M2</inf>. We propose that the preferential expression of NeuGc-G<inf>M2</inf> in cancers is closely associated with tumor hypoxia. Hypoxic culture of tumor cells induces expression of the sialic acid transporter, and enhances the incorporation of non-human sialic acid from the external milieu. A consequence of this is the acquisition of cancer-associated cell surface gangliosides, typically G<inf>M2</inf>, containing non-human sialic acid (NeuGc), which is not endogenously synthesized through CMP-N-acetyl sialic acid hydroxylase because humans lack the gene for the synthetic enzyme. As hypoxia is associated with diminished response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, NeuGc-G<inf>M2</inf> is a potential therapeutic target for hypoxic cancer cells. ©2006 American Association for Cancer Research.

Fertilization begins with interaction between the sperm and the egg. The surface of the vertebrate oocyte is covered with the egg envelope, which is composed of ZP (zona pellucida) glycoproteins. We have identified two glycoproteins, ZP1/gp97 and ZPC/gp42, as the major components of the chicken egg envelope. In the present study, another 42 kDa protein, designated ZPD, has been found as a new major component of the chicken egg envelope. ZPD was specifically released from the egg envelope by ultrasonication treatment without urea. ZPD cDNA was cloned using a chicken granulosa cell cDNA pool. The deduced amino acid sequence showed that preproprotein of ZPD is composed of 418 amino acid residues with four potential N-glycosylation sites and includes a ZP domain, common in vertebrate ZP glycoproteins, and a transmembrane domain. ZPD belongs phylogenetically to a distinct group from known ZP glycoprotein subfamilies, ZPA, ZPB, and ZPC. In two-dimensional gel electrophoresis ZPD proteins were identified to be several isoforms with different pi values between 5 and 7. ZP1, ZPC and the newly identified ZPD were confirmed to be the major components of chicken egg envelope by MS of proteolytic digests of whole egg envelope. The in vitro incubation of chicken sperm with calcium ionophore A23187 induced sperm activation, resulting in the fragmentation and release of a 41 kDa PNA (peanut agglutinin)-positive glyco-protein and the decrease or loss of sperm PNA-stainability. The incubation with ZPD and dimeric ZP1, but not ZPC and monomeric ZPl, also induced the decrease or loss of sperm PNA-stainability, suggesting the in vitro sperm activation by these ZP components. Collectively, ZPD might bind loosely to egg envelope matrix and play a key role in the sperm activation on avian sperm-egg interaction.

Sialic acids are commonly present as monosialyl residues at the non-reducing terminal end of glycoconjugates. In some cases, αc2→8 linked di/oligosialic acid chains with DP 2 or 3 sialic acid residues are common structural units of gangliosides, and involved in various biological processes, such as cell adhesion, cell differentiation, signal transduction, and surface expression of stage specific antigen. In contrast, little attention has been paid to the occurrence and functions of such short sialyl di/oligomers on glycoproteins, while polysialic acid (DP≥8) in embryonic NCAM has been extensively studied as a regulator of cell adhesion in neurogenesis. As analytical methods to detect di/oligosialic acid structures have been improved, several glycoproteins containing di/oligo/polysialic acid chains have been identified. It is thus hypothesized that these di/oligosialic acid residues on glycoproteins may have similar important functions in common with those proposed for the gangliosides or may have new functions. Currently, several studies showing the importance of di/oligosialic acid-containing glycoproteins have emerged. In this review, recent advances in such studies of di/ oligosialic acid residues on glycoproteins, including analytical methods, occurrence, biosynthetic pathways, and functions, are described.

Polysialoglycoprotein (PSGP) is a major cortical alveolus glycoprotein of rainbow trout eggs that is characterized by the attachment of a polysialic acid structure to its O-glycan chains. It has been demonstrated that the polysialic acid structure is synthesized by at least three sialyltransferases mostly localized in cortical alveoli. Here we have cloned a cDNA encoding the sialyltransferase, designated rtST6GalNAc, responsible for the transfer of the first sialic acid residue onto the O-glycan chain of PSGP. This enzyme belongs to the vertebrate ST6GalNAc II family, and is strongly expressed in ovaries. Of those O-glycoproteins tested as substrates, asialo-PSGP is the best substrate. These results indicate that rtST6GalNAc is the enzyme responsible for the sialylation of PSGP during oogenesis. Furthermore, the rtST6GalNAc mRNA is expressed throughout oogenesis, is down-regulated at the late yolk vesicle stage (May), and then up-regulated during vitellogenesis (until August). This developmental profile is highly similar to that of STL2, a cortical alveolus lectin, while it is quite different from that of PSGP, which is extensively expressed at the yolk vesicle stage and down-regulated at later stages. Thus, not all cortical alveolus components are transcribed concomitantly. This is the first description of a developmental change in the transcription of a glycosyltransferase during oogenesis.

α-C-Mannosyltryptophan (C-Man-Trp) is a novel, naturally occurring C-linked carbohydrate-protein linkage first found in 1994 from human ribonuclease 2. Since then, a number of C-Man-Trp residue have been found from several important proteins such as interleukin 12β, components of complement system, thrombospondin-1, and erythropoietin receptor, however, the biological functions have remained unknown even though its biosynthetic pathway has been revealed. In order to find a clue as to the biological functions, we examined the affinity of C-Man-Trp with conventional mannose lectin such as concanavarin A (Con A) and mannose-binding lectin (MBL). The affinity of C-Man-Trp with Con A, a typical mannose-binding lectin from plant was examined using a Con A-Sepharose column. Unlike p-nitrophenyl-α-O-Man, C-Man-Trp was not retained on the column. MBL-C, a major mannose-binding lectin purified from mouse serum, did not bind with N-biotinylated C-Man-Trp, judging from ELISA based assay. These results imply that C-Man-Trp may be recognized with the other specific proteins associated with its unknown biological functions. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

We previously demonstrated that α2,8-linked disialic acid (diSia) residues occur in several glycoproteins of mammalian brains (Sato, C., Fukuoka, H., Ohta, K., Matsuda, T., Koshino, R., Kobayashi, K., Troy, F. A., II, and Kitajima, K. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 15422-15431). The role of the diSia epitope on these glycoproteins is not known, whereas the importance of the diSia epitope on glycolipids is well documented in neurite formation. In this study, we demonstrated that the diSia epitope (Neu5Acα2 → 8Neu5Acα2 → 3Gal) on glycoproteins, but not on glycolipids, is involved in neurite formation in a mouse neuroblastoma cell line, Neuro2A, based on the following lines of evidence. First, the amount of diSia epitope on glycoproteins increased during retinoic acid-induced neurite formation. Second, retinoic acid treatment primarily increased the diSia epitope on a 100-kDa glycoprotein. We identified this protein as CD166 (SC1), an immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecule involved in neurite extension. Third, a monoclonal antibody against the diSia epitope specifically inhibited neurite formation. We also demonstrated that α2,8-sialyltransferase III mRNA expression increased 1.7-fold after the induction of neurite formation, suggesting that α2,8-sialyltransferase III is responsible for formation of the diSia epitope on CD166.

Integrin α5β1, a major fibronectin receptor, functions in a wide variety of biological phenomena. We have found that α2-8-linked oligosialic acids with 5 ≤ degree of polymerization (DP) ≤ 7 occur on integrin α5 subunit of the human melanoma cell line G361. The integrin α5 subunit immunoprecipitated with anti-integrin α5 antibody reacted with the monoclonal antibody 12E3, which recognizes oligo/polysialic acid with DP ≥ 5 but not with the polyclonal antibody H.46 recognizing oligo/polysialic acid with DP ≥ 8. The occurrence of oligosialic acids was further demonstrated by fluorometric C7/C9 analysis on the immunopurified integrin α5 subunit. Oligosialic acids were also found in the α5 subunit of several other human cells such as foreskin fibroblast and chronic erythroleukemia K562 cells. These results suggest the ubiquitous modification with unique oligosialic acids occurs on the α 5 subunit of integrin α5β1. The adhesion of human melanoma G361 cells to fibronectin was mainly mediated by integrin α5β1. Treatment of cells with sialidase from Arthrobacter ureafaciens cleaving α2-3-, α2-6-, and α2-8-linked sialic acids inhibited adhesion to fibronectin. On the other hand, N-acetylneuraminidase II, which cleaves α2-3 and α2-6 but not α2-8 linkages, showed no inhibitory activity. After the loss of oligosialic acids, integrin α5β1 failed to bind to fibronectin-conjugated Sepharose, indicating that the oligosialic acid on the α5 subunit of integrin α5β 1 plays important roles in cell adhesion to fibronectin.

Recently, we have shown that α2,8-linked disialic acid (diSia) residue occurs in glycoproteins more frequently than ever recognized (Sato, C., Fukuoka, H., Ohta, K., Matsuda, T., Koshino, R., Kobayashi K., Troy, F. A., II, and Kitajima, K. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 15422-15431). In the course of identification of the diSia-containing glycoproteins in mammals, the 30-kDa glycoprotein was found in bovine serum. The 30-kDa glycoprotein was shown to be the bovine adipo Q, an adipocyte-specific protein, based on the partial amino acid sequences and the immuno-cross-reactivity with the recombinant mouse adipo Q. The bovine adipo Q was shown to have no N-linked but O-linked glycan(s) containing the diSia epitope, Neu5Acα2→8Neu5Acα2→3Gal. Furthermore, the diSia epitope was also found in the mouse adipo Q in serum as well as in the 3T3-L1 cells that are fully differentiated into adipocytes. Notably, among the known α2,8-sialyltransferases, only the α2,8-sialyltransferase III mRNA was detected in the 3T3-L1 cells at any stages of differentiation, and the recombinant α2,8-sialyltransferase III could sialylate the purified bovine adipo Q. Thus, this study clearly provides the new findings that adipo Q is the diSia-containing glycoprotein and a physiological substrate of α2,8-sialyltransferase III, whose substrates have not been identified so far.

The low density, detergent-insoluble membrane fraction (LD-DIM), where gangliosides are likely to be highly enriched, was prepared from sperm of two sea urchin species, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Immunoblotting showed the presence in the LD-DIM of two receptors for egg ligands, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, and four proteins which may be involved in signal transduction. Co-immunoprecipitation revealed that at least three proteins, the speract receptor, the 63kDa GPI-anchored protein and the α subunit of a heterotrimeric Gs protein, are localized in the LD-DIM. This suggests that the LD-DIM fraction may be a membrane microdomain for speract-speract receptor interaction, as well as the subsequent signal transduction pathway involved in induction of sperm respiration, motility and possibly the acrosome reaction.

The pre-existence of α2→8-linked disialic acid (di-Sia) and oligosialic acid (oligo-Sia) structures with up to 7 Sia residues was shown to occur on a large number of brain glycoproteins, including neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAMs), by two highly sensitive chemical methods (Sato, C., Inoue, S., Matsuda, T., and Kitajima, K. (1998) Anal. Biochem. 261, 191- 197; Sato, C., Inoue, S., Matsuda, T., and Kitajima, K. (1999) Anal Biochem. 266, 102-109). This unexpected finding was also confirmed using a newly developed antibody prepared using a copolymer of α2→8-linked N- acetylneuraminyl p-vinylbenzylamide and acrylamide as an immunogen and known antibodies whose immunospecificities were determined to be di- and oligo-Sia residues with defined chain lengths. The major significance of the new finding that di- and oligo-Sia chains exist on a large number of brain glycoproteins is 2-fold. First, it reveals a surprising diversity in the number and M(r) of proteins distinct from N-CAM that are covalently modified by these short sialyl glycotopes. Second, it suggests that synthesis of di- and/or oligo-Sia units may be catalyzed by α2→8-sialyltransferase(s) that are distinct from the known polysialyltransferases, STX and PST, which are partially responsible for polysialylation of N-CAM.

α2→8-Linked di- and oligosialic acid (diSia and oligoSia) chains with DP 2,3 Sia residues are known to be common structural units of gangliosides, and to be involved in various biological processes, such as cell adhesion, cell differentiation, signal transduction, and surface expression of stage specific antigen. In contrast, little attention has been paid to the occurrence and functions of such short sialyl oligomers on glycoproteins. However, it has recently been shown that glycoproteins containing di- and oligoSia groups occur in nature more frequently than was ever recognized, as analytical methods to detect di- and oligoSia structures have improved. It is thus hypothesized that these di- and oligoSia moieties on glycoproteins may have similar important functions in common with those proposed for the gangliosides. In this review, we describe the recent advances in the study of di- and oligoSia residues on glycoproteins, including analytical methods, occurrence, functions, and biosynthetic pathways.

A membrane microdomain called raft has been under extensive study since the assembly of various signal-transducing molecules into this region has been envisaged. This domain is isolated as a low buoyant membrane fraction after the extraction with a nonionic detergent such as Triton X-100. The characteristic low density of this fraction is ascribed to the enrichment of several lipids including cholesterol. To clear the molecular mechanism of raft formation, several extraction methods were applied to solubilize raft components. Cholesterol extraction using methyl-β-cyclodextrin was found to be effective to solubilize NAP-22, a neuron-enriched Ca2+-dependent calmodulin-binding protein as well as one of the main protein components of brain raft. Purified NAP-22 bound to the liposomes that were made from phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol. This binding was dependent on the amount of cholesterol in liposomes. Calmodulin inhibited this binding in a dose- dependent manner. These results suggest that the presence of a calcium- dependent regulatory mechanism works on the assembly of raft within the neuron.

The low density detergent-insoluble membrane (LD-DIM) fraction was obtained by a sucrose-density gradient centrifugation from sperm of three sea urchin species, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and Anthocidaris crassispina. These LD-DIM preparations were characterized by enriched glycosphingolipids (GSL) including gangliosides and sulfatide (SLF), having more than 50% of the total amount of GSL present in these sperm. Interestingly, a minor component of H. pulcherrimus sperm (HO3S→8Neu5Acα2→8Neu5Acα2→6Glcβ1→Cer) was shown to be even more enriched in the LD-DIM as revealed by using monoclonal antibody (mAb.3G9) specific to this ganglioside. In addition to the GSL, phosphatidylserine (PS) and diacylglycerol (DG) were enriched in the LD-DIM. On the other hand, cholesterol (CL) and sphingomyelin (SM) were not so enriched, which contrasted with the LD-DIM from Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, where CL and SM were reported to be abundant. Because mammalian somatic cell-derived DIMs have been proposed to be associated with functional signal transduction, it seems possible that the ganglioside-enriched LD-DIM in sea urchin sperm can participate in binding to eggs and the subsequent egg activation process. To our knowledge this is the first chemical characterization of the LD-DIM fraction of a gametic cell.

A glycoprotein with molecular mass of 42 kDa was identified as the major component of the chicken egg-envelope, the filamentous, extracellular matrix known as the perivitelline layer. By using a DNA probe amplified with degenerative primers derived from the protein's partial amino acid sequences, a cDNA clone encoding the egg-envelope 42-kDa glycoprotein (gp42) was isolated from a hen's ovary cDNA library. The gp42 open reading frame encoded 435 amino acid residues, including a putative signal peptide of 20 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of gp42 showed significant similarity to egg-envelope glycoproteins of the ZPC family of several other vertebrate species, including human ZP3, mouse ZP3, Xenopus laevis gp43 and medaka (Oryzias latipes) ZI3 (LS-F), which play important roles for sperm-egg interaction. A single N-glycosylation site present in chicken gp42 is conserved among all five of these proteins: carbohydrate analysis of gp42 revealed the presence of a complex type glycan chain at this site. N-terminal sequence analysis of the mature polypeptide suggests that C-terminal processing of the pro-protein occurs during synthesis and secretion. The 1.4- kb gp42 transcript was detected only in follicles, and was found to be accumulated in granulosa cells in a manner dependent on ovarian follicular development. Furthermore, a metabolically radio-labeled gp42 was immunoprecipitated from both cell lysate and culture supernatant of the granulosa cells with specific anti-gp42 antibody, suggesting granulosa cell- specific synthesis and secretion of the glycoprotein.

A highly sensitive chemical method to detect various types of oligo/polysialic acid (oligo/polySia) units in glycoconjugates, i.e., α2 → 8-linked homooligo/polySia [N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), N- glcolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), or 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto- nononic acid], α2 → 8-linked heterodimers of Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc, α2 → 9- linked homooligo/polyNeu5Ac, and α2 → 5-O(glycolyl)-linked homooligo/polyNeu5Gc, was developed with an α-keto acid-reactive fluorescent labeling reagent, 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene (DMB). Fluorescent labeled di- or oligoSia was separated and quantitated by fluorometric anion- exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). As little as 13 fmol of Neu5Acα2 → 8Neu5Ac was detectable by this method. When α2 → 8-linked oligo/polyNeu5Ac with on average eight Neu5Ac residues was labeled with DMB, DMB derivatives of oligomers with only lower degrees of polymerization of 2 to 7, were detected, due to concomitant partial depolymerization of oligo/polySia chain with the derivatization. For glycoproteins and glycolipids, mild acid hydrolysis was performed to release oligoSia prior to DMB derivatization. The mild acid hydrolysis/fluorometric HPLC method was also applicable to glycoprotein samples blotted on the membrane.

A highly sensitive chemical method for detecting α2→8-linked oligo/polysialic acid (oligo/polySia) chains was developed, including (i) periodate oxidation, reduction with sodium borohydride, and subsequent acid hydrolysis, giving rise to C7 analogues and intact C9 compounds from nonreducing terminal and internal sialic acid residues, respectively; (ii) fluorescent labeling of these C7 and C9 compounds with 1,2-diamino-4,5- methylenedioxybenzene (DMB); and (iii) quantitation of these DMB derivatives on fluorometric high-performance liquid chromatography. As little as 1 ng of internal sialic acid residues of oligo/polySia chains, the existence of which indicates the presence of oligo/polySia structure, was detectable by this method. This fluorometric C7/C9 analysis was successfully applied to glycoproteins blotted onto a slit of polyvinylidene fluoride membranes and suggested the presence of some novel oligoSia-containing glycoproteins in pig embryonic brains.

The occurrence of the α2→8-linked oligomeric form of N- glycolylneuraminic acid (oligo-Neu5Gc) residues in mammalian glycoproteins was unequivocally demonstrated using a newly developed anti-oligo/poly- Neu5Gc monoclonal antibody as well as by chemical and biochemical methods. First, the antibody, designated mAb.2-4B, which specifically recognized oligo/poly-Neu5Gc with a degree of polymerization of >2, was developed by establishing a hybridoma cell line from P3U1 myeloma cells fused with splenocytes from an MRL autoimmune mouse immunized with dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine-conjugated oligo/poly-Neu5Gc. Second, oligo-Neu5Gc was shown to occur in glycoproteins derived from pig spleen by Western blot analysis using mAb.2-4B, which was also confirmed by fluorometric high performance liquid chromatographic analysis of the product of periodate oxidation/reduction/acid hydrolysis of the purified glycopeptide fractions and by TLC and 600-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of their mild acid hydrolysates. Finally, the ubiquitous occurrence of oligo-Neu5Gc chains as glycoproteinaceous components in Wistar rat tissue was immunochemically indicated. This is the first example demonstrating the diversity in oligo/poly-Sia structure in mammalian glycoproteins, where only poly-N- acetylneuraminic acid is known to occur. Such diversity in oligo/poly-Sia structure also implicates a diverged array of biological functions of this glycan unit in glycoproteins.

The Pronase digestion of a 54K glycoprotein present in ovarian fluid of rainbow trout yielded a major glycopeptide. Carbohydrate compositional analysis revealed that this glycopeptide was likely to possess a single large N-glycan chain having low molecular weight oligomers of N-acetylneuraminic acid (oligoNeu5Ac). Structural studies of this glycopeptide revealed novel α2 → 8-linked disialylated poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains with Le(X) and I antigenic determinants on the N-linked tetraantennary core glycan. In our recent studies (Kitazume, S., Kitajima, K., Inoue, S., Inoue, Y. and Troy, F.A. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 10330-10340) we presented evidence that synthesis of α2 → 8-linked polysialic acid (polySia) chains is a two-step process in which chain initiation is catalyzed by an α2 → 8-sialyltransferase (α2 → 8-ST; initiase) that catalyzes synthesis of the first Sia α2 → 8-linkage, forming the disialic acid (diSia) unit, Siaα2 → 8-Siaα2 → 6-Gal-.Chain polymerization is then postulated to be catalyzed by a second enzyme, an α2 → 8-polyST ('polymerase') that converts the diSia units to polySia chains. The present structural studies leading to the discovery of α2 → 8-linked disialylated units that terminate poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains in an N-linked glycoprotein is further evidence in support of our hypothesis that more than one sialyltransferase activity is required for polySia chain synthesis and polymerization.

The polysialyltransferases ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4 and their product, polysialic acid (polySia), are known to be related to cancers and mental disorders. ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4 have conserved amino acid (AA) sequence motifs essential for the synthesis of the polySia structures on the neural cell adhesion molecule. To search for a new motif in the polysialyltransferases, we adopted the in silico Individual Meta Random Forest program that can predict disease-related AA substitutions. The Individual Meta Random Forest program predicted a new eight-amino-acids sequence motif consisting of highly pathogenic AA residues, thus designated as the pathogenic (P) motif. A series of alanine point mutation experiments in the pathogenic motif (P motif) showed that most P motif mutants lost the polysialylation activity without changing the proper enzyme expression levels or localization in the Golgi. In addition, we evaluated the enzyme stability of the P motif mutants using newly established calculations of mutation energy, demonstrating that the subtle change of the conformational energy regulates the activity. In the AlphaFold2 model, we found that the P motif was a buried β-strand underneath the known surface motifs unique to ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4. Taken together, the P motif is a novel buried β-strand that regulates the full activity of polysialyltransferases from the inside of the molecule.

Polysialic acid is an important glyco-epitope in vertebrate brains, while altered expressions of polySia and biosynthetic enzyme have been reported in brain diseases such as schizophrenia and depression. Recently, the binding between polySia and dopamine and the involvement of this in Akt signaling has been demonstrated. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the binding of polySia and dopamine remains unknown. Therefore, here, we demonstrated the interaction between dopamine and polySia using frontal affinity chromatography alongside docking simulations. In addition, we prepared dopamine-lead compounds to understand the detailed molecular basis of polySia binding by frontal affinity chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and docking simulations.

A transition of sialic acid (Sia) species on GM3 ganglioside from N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) takes place in mouse C2C12 myoblast cells during their differentiation into myotube cells. However, the meaning of this Sia transition remains unclear. This study thus aims to gain a functional insight into this phenomenon. The following lines of evidence show that the increased de novo synthesis of Neu5Gc residues in differentiating myoblast cells promotes adhesiveness of the cells, which is beneficial for promotion of differentiation. First, the Sia transition occurred even in the C2C12 cells cultured in serum-free medium, indicating that it happens through de novo synthesis of Neu5Gc. Second, GM3(Neu5Gc) was localized in myoblast cells, but not in myotube cells, and related to expression of the CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase (CMAH) gene. Notably, expression of CMAH precedes myotube formation not only in differentiating C2C12 cells, but also in mouse developing embryos. Since the myoblast cells were attached on the dish surface more strongly than the myotube cells, expression of GM3(Neu5Gc) may be related to the surface attachment of the myoblast cells. Third, exogenous Neu5Gc, but not Neu5Ac, promoted differentiation of C2C12 cells, thus increasing the number of cells committed to fuse with each other. Fourth, the CMAH-transfected C2C12 cells were attached on the gelatin-coated surface much more rapidly than the mock-cells, suggesting that the expression of CMAH promotes cell adhesiveness through the expression of Neu5Gc.

Sialylation, the final stage of post-translational modification of proteins, is achieved in the Golgi apparatus and is related to the malignant phenotype of cancer. Disialylation of ganglioside (GD3) by St8sia1 and polysialylation by St8sia2 and 4 have been shown to be related to malignant phenotypes; however, di/oligosialylation by St8sia6 is still unknown. In this study, we analyzed the malignant phenotype of St8sia6 and found that upregulation of St8sia6 in melanoma B16 cells increased anchorage-independent cell growth, which was not due to sialic acid cleavage by a sialidase. Moreover, unlike other sialyltransferases, St8sia6 localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We found that the localization to the Golgi apparatus could be regulated by swapping experiments using St8sia2; however, the malignant phenotype did not change. These data demonstrate that the enhancement of anchorage-independent cell growth by St8sia6 is not due to its localization of ER, but is due to the expression of the protein itself.

In cancer cells, cell-surface sialylation is altered, including a change in oligo/polysialic acid (oligo/polySia) structures. Since they are unique and rarely expressed in normal cells, oligo/polySia structures may serve as promising novel biomarkers and targets for therapies. For the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, a precise understanding of the oligo/polySia structures in cancer cells is necessary. In this study, flow cytometric analysis and gene expression datasets were obtained from sixteen different cancer cell lines. These datasets demonstrated the ability to predict glycan structures and their sialylation status. Our results also revealed that sialylation patterns are unique to each cancer cell line. Thus, we can suggest promising combinations of antibody and cancer cell for glycan prediction. However, the precise prediction of minor glycans need to be further explored.

Schizophrenia is a serious psychiatric disorder that affects the social life of patients. Psychiatric disorders are caused by a complex combination of genetic (G) and environmental (E) factors. Polysialylation represents a unique posttranslational modification of a protein, and such changes in neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs) have been reported in postmortem brains from patients with psychiatric disorders. To understand the G × E effect on polysialylated NCAM expression, in this study, we performed precise measurements of polySia and NCAM using a disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1)-mutant mouse (G), a mouse model of schizophrenia, under acute stress conditions (E). This is the first study to reveal a lower number and smaller length of polySia in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of DISC1 mutants relative to those in wild-type (WT) mice. In addition, an analysis of polySia and NCAM responses to acute stress in five brain regions (olfactory bulb, prefrontal cortex, suprachiasmatic nucleus, amygdala, and hippocampus) revealed that the pattern of changes in these responses in WT mice and DISC1 mutants differed by region. These differences could indicate the vulnerability of DISC1 mutants to stress.

Polysialic acid (polySia, PSA) is a unique constituent of the glycocalyx on the surface of bacterial and vertebrate cells. In vertebrates, its biosynthesis is highly regulated, not only in quantity and quality, but also in time and location, which allows polySia to be involved in various important biological phenomena. Therefore, impairments in the expression and structure of polySia sometimes relate to diseases, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and cancer. Some bacteria express polySia as a tool for protecting themselves from the host immune system during invasion. PolySia is proven to be a biosafe material; polySia, as well as polySia-recognizing molecules, are key therapeutic agents. This review first comprehensive outlines the occurrence, features, biosynthesis, and functions of polySia and subsequently focuses on the related diseases.

Human metabolic incorporation of nonhuman sialic acid (Sia) N-glycolylneuraminic acid into endogenous glycans generates inflammation via preexisting antibodies, which likely contributes to red meat-induced atherosclerosis acceleration. Exploring whether this mechanism affects atherosclerosis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), we instead found serum accumulation of 2-keto-3-deoxy-d-glycero-d-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid (Kdn), a Sia prominently expressed in cold-blooded vertebrates. In patients with ESRD, levels of the Kdn precursor mannose also increased, but within a normal range. Mannose ingestion by healthy volunteers raised the levels of urinary mannose and Kdn. Kdn production pathways remained conserved in mammals but were diminished by an M42T substitution in a key biosynthetic enzyme, N-acetylneuraminate synthase. Remarkably, reversion to the ancestral methionine then occurred independently in 2 lineages, including humans. However, mammalian glycan databases contain no Kdn-glycans. We hypothesize that the potential toxicity of excess mannose in mammals is partly buffered by conversion to free Kdn. Thus, mammals probably conserve Kdn biosynthesis and modulate it in a lineage-specific manner, not for glycosylation, but to control physiological mannose intermediates and metabolites. However, human cells can be forced to express Kdn-glycans via genetic mutations enhancing Kdn utilization, or by transfection with fish enzymes producing cytidine monophosphate-Kdn (CMP-Kdn). Antibodies against Kdn-glycans occur in pooled human immunoglobulins. Pathological conditions that elevate Kdn levels could therefore result in antibody-mediated inflammatory pathologies.

Surface expression of the common vertebrate sialic acid (Sia) N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) by commensal and pathogenic microbes appears structurally to represent “molecular mimicry” of host sialoglycans, facilitating multiple mechanisms of host immune evasion. In contrast, ketodeoxynonulosonic acid (Kdn) is a more ancestral Sia also present in prokaryotic glycoconjugates that are structurally quite dis-tinct from vertebrate sialoglycans. We detected human antibodies against Kdn-termi-nated glycans, and sialoglycan microarray studies found these anti-Kdn antibodies to be directed against Kdn-sialoglycans structurally similar to those on human cell surface Neu5Ac-sialoglycans. Anti-Kdn-glycan antibodies appear during infancy in a pattern similar to those generated following incorporation of the nonhuman Sia N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) onto the surface of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), a human commensal and opportunistic pathogen. NTHi grown in the presence of free Kdn took up and incorporated the Sia into its lipooligosaccharide (LOS). Surface display of the Kdn within NTHi LOS blunted several virulence attributes of the pathogen, including Neu5Ac-mediated resistance to complement and whole blood kill-ing, complement C3 deposition, IgM binding, and engagement of Siglec-9. Upper air-way administration of Kdn reduced NTHi infection in human-like Cmah null (Neu5Gc-deficient) mice that express a Neu5Ac-rich sialome. We propose a mechanism for the induction of anti-Kdn antibodies in humans, suggesting that Kdn could be a natural and/or therapeutic “Trojan horse” that impairs colonization and virulence phenotypes of free Neu5Ac-assimilating human pathogens. IMPORTANCE All cells in vertebrates are coated with a dense array of glycans often capped with sugars called sialic acids. Sialic acids have many functions, including serving as a signal for recognition of “self” cells by the immune system, thereby guiding an appropriate immune response against foreign “nonself” and/or damaged cells. Several pathogenic bacteria have evolved mechanisms to cloak themselves with sialic acids and evade immune responses. Here we explore a type of sialic acid called “Kdn” (ketodeoxy-nonulosonic acid) that has not received much attention in the past and compare and contrast how it interacts with the immune system. Our results show potential for the use of Kdn as a natural intervention against pathogenic bacteria that take up and coat themselves with external sialic acid from the environment.

Siglecs are sialic acid (Sia)-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins; the majority of Siglecs functions as transmembrane receptors on the immune cells via Sia residues. Recently, a new Sia binding site in Siglec-7, termed site 2, where arginine (R) 67 was critical, was identified by computational modeling and biochemical analyses, relative to the primary Sia binding site, termed site 1, containing critical R124. Here, the presence of a new essential R94 residue, which is completely conserved among all identified Siglecs, was demonstrated. A mutation of R94 residue in Siglec-7 led to the disappearance of the Sia binding property, similar to a site 1 mutation (R124A). R94 is close to R67 in site 2, and site 2 mutations at either of them abolished the ligand-binding properties to both gangliosides and glycoproteins. These data suggest that, in addition to site 1, the conserved R residue among Siglecs in site 2 is another functional site.

Polysialic acid (polySia/PSA) is a linear homopolymer of sialic acid (Sia) that primarily modifies the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in mammalian brains. PolySia-NCAM not only displays an anti-adhesive function due to the hydration effect, but also possesses a molecule-retaining function via a direct binding to neurologically active molecules. The quality and quantity of polySia determine the function of polySia-NCAM and are considered to be profoundly related to the maintenance of normal brain functions. In this study, to compare the structures of polySia-NCAM in brains of five different vertebrates (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish), we adopted newly developed combinational methods for the analyses. The results revealed that the structural features of polySia considerably varied among different species. Interestingly, mice, as a mammal, possess eminently distinct types of polySia, in both quality and quantity, compared with those possessed by other animals. Thus, the mouse polySia is of larger quantities, of longer and more diverse chain lengths, and of a larger molecular size with higher negative charge, compared with polySia of other species. These properties might enable more advanced brain function. Additionally, it is suggested that the polySia/Sia ratio, which likely reflects the complexity of brain function, can be used as a new promising index to evaluate the intelligence of different vertebrate brains.

Polysialic acid (polySia/PSA) is an anionic glycan polymer of sialic acid, and it mostly modifies the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in mammalian brains. Quality and quantity of the polySia of the polySia–NCAM is spatio-temporally regulated in normal brain development and functions, and their impairments are reported to be related to diseases, such as psychiatric disorders and cancers. Therefore, precise understanding of the state of polySia–NCAM structure would lead to the diagnosis of diseases for which their suitable evaluation methods are necessary. In this study, to develop these evaluation methods, structures of polySia–NCAM from mouse brains at six different developmental stages were analyzed by several conventional and newly developed methods. Integrated results of these experiments clearly demonstrated the existence of different types of polySia–NCAMs in developing brains. In addition, combinational analyses were shown to be useful for precise understanding of the quantity and quality of polySia, which can provide criteria for the diagnosis of diseases.

Siglec-7 is a human CD33-like siglec, and is localised predominantly on human natural killer (NK) cells and monocytes. Siglec-7 is considered to function as an immunoreceptor in a sialic acid-dependent manner. However, the underlying mechanisms linking sialic acid-binding and function remain unknown. Here, to gain new insights into the ligand-binding properties of Siglec-7, we carried out in silico analysis and site-directed mutagenesis, and found a new sialic acid-binding region (site 2 containing R67) in addition to the well-known primary ligand-binding region (site 1 containing R124). This was supported by equilibrium dialysis, STD-NMR experiments, and inhibition analysis of GD3-binding toward Siglec-7 using synthetic sialoglycoconjugates and a comprehensive set of ganglioside-based glycoconjugates. Our results suggest that the two ligand-binding sites are potentially controlled by each other due to the flexible conformation of the C-C′ loop of Siglec-7.

ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 2 (ST8SIA2) synthesizes polysialic acid (PSA), which is essential for brain development. Although previous studies reported that St8sia2-deficient mice that have a mixed 129 and C57BL/6 (B6) genetic background showed mild and variable phenotypes, the reasons for this remain unknown. We hypothesized that this phenotypic difference is caused by diversity in the expression or function of flanking genes of St8sia2. A genomic polymorphism and gene expression analysis in the flanking region revealed reduced expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (Igf1r) on the B6 background than on that of the 129 strain. This observation, along with the finding that administration of an IGF1R agonist during pregnancy increased litter size, suggests that the decreased expression of Igf1r associated with ST8SIA2 deficiency caused lethality. This study demonstrates the importance of gene expression level in the flanking regions of a targeted null allele having an effect on phenotype.

Sialic acids are typically added to the end of glycoconjugates by sialyltransferases. Among the six ST8 α-N-acetyl-neuraminide α-2,8-sialyltransferases (ST8SIA) existing in adult brains, ST8SIA2 is a schizophrenia-associated gene. However, the in vivo substrates and physiological functions of most sialyltransferases are currently unknown. The ST8SIA3 is enriched in the striatum. Here, we showed that ablation of St8sia3 in mice (St8sia3-KO) led to fewer disialylated and trisialylated terminal glycotopes in the striatum of St8sia3-KO mice. Moreover, the apparent sizes of several striatum-enriched G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) (including the adenosine A<inf>2A</inf> receptor (A<inf>2A</inf>R) and dopamine D<inf>1</inf>/D<inf>2</inf> receptors (D<inf>1</inf>R and D<inf>2</inf>R)) were smaller in St8sia3-KO mice than in WT mice. A sialidase treatment removed the differences in the sizes of these molecules between St8sia3-KO and WT mice, confirming the involvement of sialylation. Expression of ST8SIA3 in the striatum of St8sia3-KO mice using adeno-associated viruses normalized the sizes of these proteins, demonstrating a direct role of ST8SIA3. The lack of ST8SIA3-mediated sialylation altered the distribution of these proteins in lipid rafts and the interaction between D<inf>2</inf>R and A<inf>2A</inf>R. Locomotor activity assays revealed altered pharmacological responses of St8sia3-KO mice to drugs targeting these receptors and verified that a greater population of D<inf>2</inf>R formed heteromers with A<inf>2A</inf>R in the striatum of St8sia3-KO mice. Since the A<inf>2A</inf>R-D<inf>2</inf>R heteromer is an important drug target for several basal ganglia diseases (such as schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease), the present study not only reveals a crucial role for ST8SIA3 in striatal functions but also provides a new drug target for basal ganglia-related diseases.

Stress is an important environmental factor influencing human behaviour and causing several mental disorders. Alterations in the structure of polysialic acid (polySia/PSA) due to genetic alterations in ST8SIA2, which encodes a polySia-synthesizing enzyme, are related to certain mental disorders. However, whether stress as an environmental factor leads to changes in polySia structure is unknown. Here we studied the effects of acute stress on polySia expression and found reductions in both the quantity and quality of polySia in the olfactory bulb and prefrontal cortex, even with short-term exposure to acute stress. The use of inhibitors for sialidase, microglia and astrocytes revealed that these declines were due to a transient action of sialidase from microglia and astrocytes in the olfactory bulb and prefrontal cortex, respectively. These data suggest that sialidase dynamically regulates polySia expression in a brain region-specific manner.

Glycoconjugates in egg extracellular matrices are known to serve several functions in reproductive processes. Here, the presence of N-linked mannose (Man) glycoconjugates on shrimp thrombospondin (pmTSP-II) and their physiological functions were investigated in the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon. A molecular analysis of pmTSP-II demonstrated anchorage sites for N-linked glycans in both the chitin-binding and TSP3 domains. The presence of Man residues was verified by concanavalin A lectin histochemistry on the purified fraction of pmTSP-II (250 kDa with protease inhibitor). The function of the Man glycoconjugates was evident by the Con A interference with the pmTSP-II-induced acrosome reaction (AR) as well as by the ability to recover the induction of the AR by the inclusion of Mans in the treatment mixture. In addition, the recombinant proteins of the three signature pmTSP-II domains expressed in E. coli (lacking glycosylation) and mannosidase-treated pmTSP-II showed a minimal ability to initiate the AR response. Together, these results provide evidence of the pivotal role that Man-linked pmTSP-II plays in modulating the shrimp sperm AR, a novel role for a TSP family protein in shrimp reproductive biology.

Sialic acid (Sia) is involved in many biological activities and commonly occurs as a monosialyl residue at the nonreducing terminal end of glycoconjugates. The loss of activity of UDP-GlcNAc2-epimerase/ManNAc kinase, which is a key enzyme in Sia biosynthesis, is lethal to the embryo, which clearly indicates the importance of Sia in embryogenesis. Occasionally, oligo/polymeric Sia structures such as disialic acid (diSia), oligosialic acid (oligoSia), and polysialic acid (polySia) occur in glycoconjugates. In particular, polySia, a well-known epitope that commonly occurs in neuroinvasive bacteria and vertebrate brains, is one of the most well-known and biologically/neurologically important glycotopes in vertebrates. The biological effects of polySia, especially on neural cell-adhesion molecules, have been well studied, and in-depth knowledge regarding polySia has been accumulated. In addition, the importance of diSia and oligoSia epitopes has been reported. In this chapter, the recent advances in the study of diSia, oligoSia, and polySia residues in glycoproteins in neurology, and their history, definition, occurrence, analytical methods, biosynthesis, and biological functions evaluated by phenotypes of gene-targeted mice, biochemical features, and related diseases are described.

The emergence of zebrafish Danio rerio as a versatile model organism provides the unique opportunity to monitor the functions of glycosylation throughout vertebrate embryogenesis, providing insights into human diseases caused by glycosylation defects. Using a combination of chemical modifications, enzymatic digestion and mass spectrometry analyses, we establish here the precise glycomic profiles of eight individual zebrafish organs and demonstrate that the protein glycosylation and glycosphingolipid expression patterns exhibits exquisite specificity. Concomitant expression screening of a wide array of enzymes involved in the synthesis and transfer of sialic acids shows that the presence of organ-specific sialylation motifs correlates with the localized activity of the corresponding glycan biosynthesis pathways. These findings provide a basis for the rational design of zebrafish lines expressing desired glycosylation profiles.

Mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorder, are challenging to manage, worldwide. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders is essential and required. Studies investigating such molecular mechanisms are well performed and important findings are accumulating apace. Based on the fact that these disorders are due in part to the accumulation of genetic and environmental risk factors, consideration of multi-molecular and/or multi-system dependent phenomena might be important. Acidic glycans are an attractive family of molecules for understanding these disorders, because impairment of the fine-tuned glycan system affects a large number of molecules that are deeply involved in normal brain function. One of the candidates of this important family of glycan epitopes in the brain is polysialic acid (PSA/polySia). PSA is a well-known molecule because of its role as an oncodevelopmental antigen and is also widely used as a marker of adult neurogenesis. Recently, several reports have suggested that PSA and PSA-related genes are associated with multiple mental disorders. The relationships among PSA, PSA-related genes, and mental disorders are reviewed here.

A number of loci are associated with highly heritable schizophrenia and the prevalence of this mental illness has had considerable negative fitness effects on human populations. Here we focused on one particular schizophrenia-associated gene that encodes a sialyltransferase (ST8SIA2) and is expressed preferentially in the brain with the level being largely determined by three SNPs in the promoter region. It is suggested that the expression level of the ST8SIA2 gene is a genetic determinant of schizophrenia risk, and we found that a geographically differentiated non-risk SNP type (CGC-type) has significantly reduced promoter activity. A newly developed method for detecting ongoing positive selection was applied to the ST8SIA2 genomic region with the identification of an unambiguous sweep signal in a rather restricted region of 18 kb length surrounding the promoter. We also found that while the CGC-type emerged in anatomically modern humans in Africa over 100 thousand years ago, it has increased its frequency in Asia only during the past 20–30 thousand years. These findings support that the positive selection is driven by psychosocial stress due to changing social environments since around the last glacial maximum, and raise a possibility that schizophrenia extensively emerged during the Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic era.

Polysialic acid (polySia) is mainly found as a modification of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in whole embryonic brains, as well as restricted areas of adult vertebrate brains, including the hippocampus. PolySia shows not only repulsive effects on NCAM-involved cell–cell interactions due to its bulky and hydrated properties, but also attractive effects on the interaction with neurologically active molecules, which exerts a reservoir function. Two different polysialyltransferases, ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4, are involved in the synthesis of polySia chains; however, to date, the differences of the properties between polySia chains synthesized by these two enzymes remain unknown. In this study, to clarify this point, we first prepared polySia-NCAMs from HEK293 cells stably expressing ST8SIA4 and ST8SIA2, or ST8SIA2 (SNP-7), a mutant ST8SIA2 derived from a schizophrenia patient. The conventional sensitive chemical and immunological characterizations showed that the quantity and quality (structural features) of polySia are not so much different between ST8SIA4- and ST8SIA2-synthesized ones, apart from those of ST8SIA2 (SNP-7). Then, we assessed the homophilic and heterophilic interactions mediated by polySia-NCAM by adopting a surface plasmon resonance measurement as an in vitro analytical method. Our novel findings are as follows: (i) the ST8SIA2- and ST8SIA4-synthesized polySia-NCAMs exhibited different attractive and repulsive effects than each other; (ii) both polySia- and oligoSia-NCAMs synthesized by ST8SIA2 were able to bind polySia-NCAMs; (iii) the polySia-NCAM synthesized by a ST8SIA2 (SNP-7) showed markedly altered attractive and repulsive properties. Collectively, polySia-NCAM is suggested to simultaneously possess both attractive and repulsive properties that are highly regulated by the two polysialyltransferases.

A new sialic acid (Sia)-containing glycopolymer—a fluorescent probe with high-density disialic acid (diSia) on the surface of polysaccharide dextran (diSia-Dex)—was synthesized as a key molecule to regulate the Sia recognition lectins, Siglecs, that are involved in the immune system. According to our original methods, diSia was synthesized by α-selective sialylation, and a dextran template possessing terminal acetylenes and amino groups was prepared. A diSia and a fluorescent molecule were subsequently introduced to surface-modified dextran by Hüisgen reaction and amidation, respectively. The modulatory activity of Siglec7 was evaluated by using synthetic probes. DiSia-Dex showed high binding avidity toward Siglec7, with a K<inf>D</inf> value of 5.87×10⁻¹⁰ m, and a high inhibitory activity for the interaction between Siglec7 and a ligand (GD3), with a IC<inf>50</inf> value of 1.0 nm. Notably, diSia-Dex was able to release Siglec7 from the pre-existing Siglec7–GD3 complex, possibly due to its unique properties of a slow dissociation rate and a high association rate. Together, these data show that diSia-Dex can be widely applicable as a modulator of Siglec7 functions.

A 250-kDa protein was isolated from fluid in the middle spermatic duct (MSD) of the blue crab (Portunus pelagicus). N-terminal and partial amino acid sequences revealed that this MSD-specific protein is highly similar to the plasma-enriched protein Alpha-2 macroglobulin (α2M). The P. pelagicus ortholog (Ppα2M) is a large glycoprotein possessing mannose and N-acetylglucosamine residues. Ppa2m mRNA was detected in the spermatic duct, androgenic gland, and hematopoietic tissue, whereas the protein was primarily observed in the apical cytoplasm of MSD epithelium and in the matrix of the acrosome of MSD sperm; distally within spermatic duct, Ppα2M was lost from the sperm membrane but remained in the sperm acrosome. These results suggest that Ppα2M is expressed and glycosylated in the epithelium of spermatic ducts, secreted into MSD fluid, taken up by sperm in the MSD, and removed from the surface of sperm during its transit towards the female spermatheca. Given that Ppα2M also exhibits protease inhibitor activity, we hypothesize that acrosome localized Ppα2M may suppress premature acrosome reaction during post-testicular sperm maturation in this crab.

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is modified by polysialic acid (polySia or PSA) in embryonic brains. In adult brains, polySia modification of NCAM is only observed in restricted areas where neural plasticity, remodeling of neural connections, or neural generation is ongoing although the amount of NCAM remains unchanged. Impairments of the polySia-expression and several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the polysialyltransferase (polyST) ST8SIA2 gene are reported to be associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) is well-known as an agent for treating schizophrenia, and our hypothesis is that CPZ may affect the polySia expression or the gene expression of polySTs or NCAM. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the effects of CPZ on the expression of polySia-NCAM on human neuroblastoma cell line, IMR-32 cells, by immunochemical and chemical methods. Interestingly, the cell surface expression of polySia, especially those with lower chain lengths, was significantly increased on the CPZ-treated cells, while mRNAs for polySTs and NCAM, and the amounts of total polySia-NCAM remained unchanged. The addition of brefeldin A, an inhibitor of endocytosis, suppressed the CPZ-induced cell surface polySia expression. In addition, polySia-NCAM was also observed in the vesicle compartment inside the cell. All these data suggest that the level of cell surface expression of polySia in IMR-32 is highly regulated and that CPZ changes the rate of the recycling of polySia-NCAM, leading to the up-regulation of polySia-NCAM on the cell surface. We also analyzed the effect of CPZ on polySia-expression in various brain regions in adult mice and found that CPZ only influenced the total amounts of polySia-NCAM in prefrontal cortex. These results suggest a brain-region-specific effect of CPZ on the expression of total polySia in mouse brain. Collectively, anti-schizophrenia agent CPZ consistently up-regulates the expression polySia at both cellular and animal levels.

Gangliosides (sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids) help regulate many important biological processes, including cell proliferation, signal transduction, and differentiation, via formation of functional microdomains in plasma membranes. The structural diversity of gangliosides arises from both the ceramide moiety and glycan portion. Recently, differing molecular species of a given ganglioside are suggested to have distinct biological properties and regulate specific and distinct biological events. Elucidation of the function of each molecular species is important and will provide new insights into ganglioside biology. Gangliosides are also suggested to be involved in skeletal muscle differentiation; however, the differential roles of ganglioside molecular species remain unclear. Here we describe striking changes in quantity and quality of gangliosides (particularly GM3)during differentiation of mouse C2C12 myoblast cells and key roles played by distinct GM3 molecular species at each step of the process.

The occurrence and biological importance of sialic acid (Sia) and its metabolic enzymes in insects have been studied using Drosophila melanogaster. The most prominent feature of D. melanogaster CMP-Sia synthetase (DmCSS) is its Golgi-localization, contrasted with nuclear localization of vertebrate CSSs. However, it remains unclear if the Golgi-localization is common to other insect CSSs and why it happens. To answer these questions, Aedes aegypti (mosquito) CSS (AaCSS) and Tribolium castaneum (beetle) CSS (TcCSS) were cloned and characterized for their activity and subcellular localization. Our new findings show: (1) AaCSS and TcCSS share a common overall structure with DmCSS in terms of evolutionarily conserved motifs and the absence of the C-terminal domain typical to vertebrate CSSs; (2) when expressed in mammalian and insect cells, AaCSS and TcCSS showed in vivo and in vitro CSS activities, similar to DmCSS. In contrast, when expressed in bacteria, they lacked CSS activity because the N-terminal hydrophobic region appeared to induce protein aggregation; (3) when expressed in Drosophila S2 cells, AaCSS and TcCSS were predominantly localized in the ER, but not in the Golgi. Surprisingly, DmCSS was mainly secreted into the culture medium, although partially detected in Golgi. Consistent with these results, the N-terminal hydrophobic regions of AaCSS and TcCSS functioned as a signal peptide to render them soluble in the ER, while the N-terminus of DmCSS functioned as a membrane-spanning region of type II transmembrane proteins whose cytosolic KLK sequence functioned as an ER export signal. Accordingly, the differential subcellular localization of insect CSSs are distinctively more diverse than previously recognized.

Neurotrophins are well-characterized neurologically active molecules in the central nervous system. The regulation of these signaling molecules, which are involved in cell growth, differentiation, and survival, is critical for normal brain function. Among the different types of neurotrophins, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in various brain functions, including memory consolidation, synaptic plasticity, and adult neurogenesis, and is therefore a key molecule for understanding comprehensive brain function and neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diseases. The concentration of BDNF in body fluid is highly related to several neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer's diseases, depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. In the present review, the mechanisms by which BDNF is released from secretory vesicles are reviewed, with a particular focus on the recently described glycan-mediated release. In addition, the impact of glycan-mediated BDNF release on psychiatric disorders is also discussed.

Polysialic acid (polySia) is a linear homopolymer of sialic acid and mainly modifies neural cell adhesion molecule. PolySia plays important roles in synapse formation, learning and memory, social behavior and is associated with several diseases. Gene analyses of one of the biosynthetic enzymes for polySia, ST8SIA2, have revealed that several SNPs and genetic variations in the ST8SIA2 gene are associated with several psychiatric disorders; however, the mechanisms underlying these associations remain unknown. Here, we analyzed the effects of two iSNPs of ST8SIA2, rs2168351 and rs3784730, which are associated with bipolar disorder and autism spectrum disorder, respectively, on the expression of mRNA, ST8SIA2 and its final product, polySia in mouse neuroblastoma and human adenocarcinoma cell lines. We found that both iSNPs affected the expression of pre-mRNA and mRNA of ST8SIA2, and altered the cellular levels of ST8SIA2 and polySia. Taken together, these results indicate that impairment of the regulated expression of ST8SIA2 and the resulting downstream effects on gene products by these two iSNPs contribute to the development of these psychiatric disorders.

Polysialic acid (polySia, PSA) is a unique and functionally important glycan, particularly in vertebrate brains. It is involved in higher brain functions such as learning, memory, and social behaviors. Recently, an association between several genetic variations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ST8SIA2/STX, one of two polysialyltransferase genes in vertebrates, and psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), was reported based on candidate gene approaches and genome-wide studies among normal and mental disorder patients. It is of critical importance to determine if the reported mutations and SNPs in ST8SIA2 lead to impairments of the structure and function of polySia, which is the final product of ST8SIA2. To date, however, only a few such forward-directed studies have been conducted. In addition, the molecular mechanisms underlying polySia-involved brain functions remain unknown, although polySia was shown to have an anti-adhesive effect. In this report, we review the relationships between psychiatric disorders and polySia and/or ST8SIA2, and describe a new function of polySia as a regulator of neurologically active molecules, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and dopamine, which are deeply involved in psychiatric disorders.

Precise directional control of pollen-tube growth by pistil tissue is critical for successful fertilization of flowering plants [1-3]. Ovular attractant peptides, which are secreted from two synergid cells on the side of the egg cell, have been identified [4-6]. Emerging evidence suggests that the ovular directional cue is not sufficient for successful guidance but that competency control by the pistil is critical for the response of pollen tubes to the attraction signal [1, 3, 7]. However, the female molecule for this competency induction has not been reported. Here we report that ovular methyl-glucuronosyl arabinogalactan (AMOR) induces competency of the pollen tube to respond to ovular attractant LURE peptides in Torenia fournieri. We developed a method for assaying the response capability of a pollen tube by micromanipulating an ovule. Using this method, we showed that pollen tubes growing through a cut style acquired a response capability in the medium by receiving a sufficient amount of a factor derived from mature ovules of Torenia. This factor, named AMOR, was identified as an arabinogalactan polysaccharide, the terminal 4-O-methyl-glucuronosyl residue of which was necessary for its activity. Moreover, a chemically synthesized disaccharide, the β isomer of methyl-glucuronosyl galactose (4-Me-GlcA-β-(1→6)-Gal), showed AMOR activity. No specific sugar-chain structure of plant extracellular matrix has been identified as a bioactive molecule involved in intercellular communication. We suggest that the AMOR sugar chain in the ovary renders the pollen tube competent to the chemotropic response prior to final guidance by LURE peptides.

Very little knowledge has been available on structure and function of heavily glycosylated proteins, whose glycan parts amount to more than 90 % of the whole molecules, mainly because of technical difficulties in detection and determination of structure. In 2004 flagellasialin was discovered as a major cell surface component in the lipid rafts of sea urchin sperm. The extremely high content of glycan chains completely prevented detecting this glycoprotein by conventional protein staining methods, such as Coomassie Brilliant Blue and silver staining. To make this glycoprotein visible, monoclonal antibodies 4F7 and 3G9 were developed as specific probes for detecting glycan chains of flagellasialin. The frequent occurrence of GPI-anchored proteins in lipid rafts is well recognized. Flagellasialin was actually demonstrated to contain a GPI-anchor, based on three lines of experiments. In addition to the computational predictions from the cDNA sequence and the phosphatidylinositolspecific phospholipase C treatment of the sperm membrane fraction, nitrous acid deamination of a flagellasialin-blotted membrane was newly introduced. The immunostaining of flagellasialin on the membrane disappeared after the nitrous acid treatment of the blotted membrane. This method was easy and effective for identifying flagellasialin as a GPI-anchored protein.

It has been shown that polysialic acid (polySia) is an indispensable component for viability of mouse during development. Especially, it is deeply involved in normal brain function in mouse and human, affecting cell adhesion, cell migration, cell growth, neurogenesis, and synaptogenesis. PolySia is synthesized by two polysialyltransferases, ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4. Mice deficient in both enzymes show lethality soon after birth. Mice deficient in either ST8SIA2 or ST8SIA4 show significant impairments in learning, memory, circadian rhythm, and social behavior. Interestingly, different phenotypes are often observed between ST8SIA2- and ST8SIA4-deficient mice. Therefore, characterization of these enzymes in vitro and in vivo and precise understanding of the structurefunction relationship of polySia become more and more important. In this chapter, assay procedures for in vitro activity of the polysialyltransferases are focused on to obtain clear results of their in vitro activities that are often said to be very weak compared with other sialyltransferases.

Polysialic acid (polySia), particularly α2,8-linked polyNeu5Ac (DP ¼ 8 ~ 400), is a unique polymer of sialic acid (Sia) and modifies neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) spatiotemporally in embryonic brains. PolySia is involved in cell migration, neural outgrowth, axonal guidance, synaptic plasticity, and the development of normal neural circuits and neurogenesis due to its anti- adhesive property and spatiotemporal expression. Recent improvements of polySia-detection methods have told us that polySia expression persists in certain areas of the adult brain, such as the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, subventricular zone, thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala, where neural plasticity, remodeling of neural connections, or neural generation is ongoing. Importantly, several lines of evidence have raised a new concept of polySia function that polySia works as an attractive field that associates with particular ion channels and neurologically active molecules, such as neurotrophic factor (BDNF), growth factor (FGF2), and neurotransmitter (dopamine), to regulate their involved signaling. It has been shown that polySia is involved in learning, memory, circadian rhythm, and social behaviors using polySia-impaired mice. In addition, SNPs and some deletions in genes encoding the polysialyltransferase and NCAM have been reported from patients of schizophrenia, mood disorder and autism. Such impairments of polySia structure derived from polysialyltransferase gene alterations might influence the polySia function not only as the repulsive field but also as the attractive field.

Although the structural diversity of sialic acid (Sia) is rapidly expanding, understanding of its biological significance has lagged behind. Advanced technologies to detect and probe diverse structures of Sia are absolutely necessary not only to understand further biological significance but also to pursue medicinal and industrial applications. Here we describe analytical methods for detection of Sia that have recently been developed or improved, with a special focus on 9-O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5,9Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn),O-sulfated Sia (SiaS), and di-, oligo-, and polysialic acid (diSia/oligoSia/polySia) in glycoproteins and glycolipids. Much more attention has been paid to these Sia and sialoglycoconjugates during the last decade, in terms of regulation of the immune system, neural development and function, tumorigenesis, and aging.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; thyrotropin) is a glycoprotein secreted from the pituitary gland. Pars distalis-derived TSH (PD-TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (THs), whereas pars tuberalis-derivedTSH(PT-TSH) actsonthe hypothalamus to regulate seasonal physiology and behavior. However, it had not been clear how these two TSHs avoid functional crosstalk. Here, we show that this regulation ismediated by tissue-specific glycosylation. AlthoughPT-TSHis releasedinto the circulation, it does not stimulate the thyroid gland. PD-TSH is known to have sulfated biantennary N-glycans, and sulfated TSH is rapidly metabolized in the liver. In contrast, PT-TSH has sialylated multibranched N-glycans; in the circulation, it forms the macro-TSH complex with immunoglobulin or albumin, resulting in the loss of its bioactivity. Glycosylation is fundamental to awide range of biological processes. This report demonstrates its involvement in preventing functional crosstalk of signaling molecules in the body.

Interaction of Hsp70 with natural and artificial acidic glycans is demonstrated based on the native PAGE analysis. Hsp70 interacts with acidic glycopolymers that contain clustered sulfated and di-sialylated glycan moieties on a polyacrylamide backbone, but not with neutral or mono-sialylated glycopolymers. Hsp70 also interacts and forms a large complex with heparin, heparan sulfate, and dermatan sulfate that commonly contain 2-O-sulfated iduronic acid residues, but not with other types of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Hsp70 consists of the N-terminal ATPase domain and the C-terminal peptide-binding domain. The interaction analyses using the recombinant N- and C-terminal half domains show that the ATPase domain mediates the direct interaction with acidic glycans, while the peptide-binding domain stabilizes the large complexes with particular GAGs. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of direct binding of Hsp70 to the particular GAGs. This property may be involved in the physiological functions of Hsp70 at the plasma membrane and extracellular environments.

Frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) is a simple and effective method that is applicable to the analysis of interactions between glycans and glycan-recognition proteins, including lectins, with weak affinity ranging from 10^-4 to 10^-6 (M) in terms of dissociation constant (K <inf>d</inf>). Using conventional instruments, such as a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system equipped with pump, injector, (fluorescent) detector, and data recorder, the dissociation constants for weak glycan-based interactions can be easily determined with high throughput and accuracy. Notably, if the glycans are labeled with fluorescent dyes, only a small amount of glycans is required for the analysis. Fluorescent labeling of glycans is a common technique, and an increasing number of fluorescent-labeled glycans are commercially available. In this chapter, an advanced FAC method using fluorescent-labeled glycans is described. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Oligo/polysialic acids consisting of consecutive α(2,8)-linkages on gangliosides and glycoproteins play a role in cell adhesion and differentiation events in a manner that is dependent on the degree of polymerization (DP). Anti-oligo/polysialic acid antibodies often have DP-dependent antigenic specificity, and such unique antibodies are often used in biological studies for the detection and differentiation of oligo/polysialic acids. However, molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We here use NMR techniques to analyze the binding epitopes of the anti-oligo/polysialic acid monoclonal antibodies (mAb) A2B5 and 12E3. The mAb A2B5, which has a preference for trisialic acid, recognizes sialic acid residues at the non-reducing terminus and those in nascent units. On the other hand, mAb 12E3, which prefers oligo/polysialic acids of more than six sugar units, recognizes inner sialic acid residues. In both structural complexes, the interresidue transferred NOE correlations are significantly different from those arising from analogs of the free states, indicating that the bound and free sugar conformations are distinct. The ability of the two mAbs to distinguish the chain lengths comes from different binding epitopes and possibly from the conformational differences in the oligo/polysialic acids. Information on the recognition modes is needed for the structural design of immunoreactive antigens for the development of high-affinity anti-polysialic acid antibodies and of related vaccines against pathogenic, polysialic acid-coated bacteria. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Sialic acids (Sia) are involved in many biological activities and frequently exist as monosialyl residues at the non-reducing terminal end of glycoconjugates. Occasionally, polymerized structures in the form of disialic acid (diSia), oligosialic acid (oligoSia) and polysialic acid (polySia) are also found in glycoconjugates. In particular, polySia, which is an evolutionarily conserved epitope from sea urchin to humans, is one of the most biologically important glycotopes in vertebrates. The biological functions of polySia, especially on neural cell adhesion molecules, have been well studied and an in-depth body of knowledge concerning polySia has been accumulated. However, considerably less attention has been paid to glycoproteins containing di-and oligoSia groups. However, advances in analytical methods for detecting oligo/polymerized structures have allowed the identification and characterization of an increasing number of glycoproteins containing di/oligo/polySia chains in nature. In addition, sophisticated genetic techniques have also helped to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of polySia-mediated activities. In this review, recent advances in the study of the chemical properties, distribution and functions of di-, oligo-and polySia residues on glycoproteins are described. © 2013 The Authors.

A highly glycosylated protein, which has unique, novel features in localization, structure, and potential function, is found in pig sperm, and named WGA-gp due to its high binding property with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). WGA-gp is localized mainly in flagella and enriched in membrane microdomains or lipid rafts. It is not detected by ordinary protein staining methods due to a high content of both N- and O-glycans consisting of neutral monosaccharides. Interestingly, WGA-gp may be involved in intracellular Ca²⁺ regulation. Treatment of sperm with anti-WGA-gp antibody enhances the amplitude of Ca²⁺ oscillation without changing the basal intracellular Ca²⁺ concentrations. All these features of WGA-gp, except for different carbohydrate structures occupying most part of the molecules, are similar to those of flagellasialin in sea urchin sperm, which regulates the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration. Presence of carbohydrate-enriched flagellar proteins involved in intracellular Ca²⁺ regulation may be a common feature among animal sperm. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Gangliosides are a family of glycolipids, which possess sialic acids that play important roles in biological events on cell surfaces. Ganglio-series gangliosides are composed of the tetrasaccharide, (Galβ(1,3)GalNAcβ(1,4)Galβ(1,4)Glc), which bears α(2,8) oligosialic acid units. Glycolipids that vary in number of sialic acids are known as the a-, b-, and c-series of gangliosides. Chemical synthesis of these di-/oligo-sialo-containing glycolipids and their derivatives would facilitate identification of their biological roles. However, the α(2,8) oligosialic acid unit and the compact and rigid 3,4 dibranched galactoside unit are difficult to prepare. Therefore, an effective method for the synthesis of a-, b-, and c-series of gangliosides is still needed. In this report, we describe combinatorial synthesis of ganglio-series ganglioside epitopes varying at the number of the sialic acids. The α(2,3) and α(2,8) sialylations were accomplished by use of 5N,4O-carbonyl and 7,8-O-isopropyliden, and 5N,4O-carbonyl- and 7,8-di-O-chloroacetyl-protected sialyl donors in good yields with excellent a-selectivity, respectively. The two sialyl donors enable synthesis of the di- and tri-sialylgalactosides by simple glycosylation and deprotection. We successfully prepared the ganglioside epitopes via direct construction of a compact, rigid, branched structure. We also reported on a competitive inhibiting activity of the soluble glycolipid library to binding solid-supported GD3 with Siglec-7.

The sialic acid (Sia)N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its hydroxylated derivative N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) differ by one oxygen atom. CMP-Neu5Gc is synthesized from CMP-Neu5Ac, with Neu5Gc representing a highly variable fraction of total Sias in various tissues and among different species. The exception may be the brain, where Neu5Ac is abundant and Neu5Gc is reported to be rare. Here, we confirm this unusual pattern and its evolutionary conservation in additional samples from various species, concluding that brain Neu5Gc expression has been maintained at extremely low levels over hundreds of millions of years of vertebrate evolution. Most explanations for this pattern do not require maintaining neural Neu5Gc at such low levels. We hypothesized that resistance of α2-8-linked Neu5Gc to vertebrate sialidases is the detrimental effect requiring the relative absence of Neu5Gc from brain. This linkage is prominent in polysialic acid (polySia), a molecule with critical roles in vertebrate neural development.Weshow that Neu5Gc is incorporated into neural polySia and does not cause in vitro toxicity. Synthetic polymers of Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc showed that mammalian and bacterial sialidases are much less able to hydrolyze α2-8-linked Neu5Gc at the nonreducing terminus. Notably, this difference was not seen with acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of polySias. Molecular dynamics modeling indicates that differences in the three-dimensional conformation of terminal saccharides may partly explain reduced enzymatic activity. In keeping with this, polymers of N-propionylneuraminic acid are sensitive to sialidases. Resistance of Neu5Gc-containing polySia to sialidases provides a potential explanation for the rarity of Neu5Gc in the vertebrate brain. © 2012 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

Modulation of levels of polysialic acid (polySia), a sialic acid polymer, predominantly associated with the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), influences neural functions, including synaptic plasticity, neurite growth, and cell migration. Biosynthesis of polySia depends on two polysialyltransferases ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV in vertebrate. However, the enzyme involved in degradation of polySia in its physiological turnover remains uncertain. In the present study, we identified and characterized a murine sialidase NEU4 that catalytically degrades polySia. Murine NEU4, dominantly expressed in the brain, was found to efficiently hydrolyze oligoSia and polySia chains as substrates in sialidase in vitro assays, and also NCAM-Fc chimera as well as endogenous NCAM in tissue homogenates of postnatal mouse brain as assessed by immunoblotting with anti-polySia antibodies. Degradation of polySia by NEU4 was also evident in neuroblastoma Neuro2a cells that were co-transfected with Neu4 and ST8SiaIV genes. Furthermore, in mouse embryonic hippocampal primary neurons, the endogenously expressed NEU4 was found to decrease during the neuronal differentiation. Interestingly, GFP- or FLAG-tagged NEU4 was partially co-localized with polySia in neurites and significantly suppressed their outgrowth, whereas silencing of NEU4 showed the acceleration together with an increase in polySia expression. These results suggest that NEU4 is involved in regulation of neuronal function by polySia degradation in mammals. © 2012 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

Polysialic acid (polySia) is a unique polysaccharide that modifies neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) spatiotemporally. Recently, we demonstrated that polySia functions as a reservoir for several neurotrophic factors and neurotransmitters. Here, we showed the direct interaction between polySia and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) by native-PAGE, gel filtration, and surface plasmon resonance. The minimum chain length of polySia required for the interaction with FGF2 was 17. Compared with heparan sulfate, a well known glycosaminoglycan capable of forming a complex with FGF2, polySia formed a larger complex with distinct properties in facilitating oligomerization of FGF2, as well as in binding to FGF receptors. In polySia-NCAM-expressing NIH-3T3 cells, which were established by transfecting cells with either of the plasmids for the expression of the polysialyltransferases ST8SiaII/STX and ST8SiaIV/PST that can polysialylate NCAM, FGF2-stimulated cell growth, but not cell survival, was inhibited. Taken together, these results suggest that polySia-NCAM might be involved in the regulation of FGF2-FGF receptor signaling through the direct binding of FGF2 in a manner distinct from heparan sulfate. © 2012 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

Sialic acids are a family of nine-carbon carboxylated sugars having a nonulosonate skeletal structure (Fig. 35.1). This structure is uniquely different from that of other sugar units of animal glycans. The most popular sialic acid is N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), which is universally found on cell surface glycocalyx and in secreted glycoproteins of vertebrates and some invertebrates. Sialic acids have low acid-base dissociation constants and give a negative charge on the cell surface under a wide range of physiological pH. In nature, more than 50 kinds of sialic acids are known. Nearly all of them are derived from Neu5Ac by a substitution on the hydroxyl groups (e.g., O-acetyl-Neu5Ac) and/or a hydroxylation of the N-acetyl group (e.g., N-glycolylneuraminic acid, Neu5Gc). Each modified sialic acid has properties different from those of Neu5Ac and is believed to contribute to specific physiological functions. In animal cells, sialic acids are most frequently the terminal sugars of cell surface glycolipids and glycoproteins, and any change that occurs on sialic acids can considerably influence the biological properties of a cell. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

Flagellar movement of the sea urchin sperm is regulated by intracellular Ca2+. Flagellasialin, a polysialic acid-containing glycoprotein, as well as other membrane proteins seems responsible for the Ca2+ control. To elucidate the mechanism of Ca2+ dynamics underlying flagellar movement, we analysed the sperm's mechanosensory behavioural responses by using microtechniques. In sea water containing 10 mM Ca2+, the sperm swim in circular paths. When a mechanical stimulus was applied to the sperm head with a glass microstylus, the sperm showed a series of flagellar responses, consisting of a stoppage of beating (quiescence) and a recovery of swimming in a straight path, followed by swimming in a circular path again; as the result the sperm avoided the obstacle. Ca2+-imaging with Fluo-4 showed that the intracellular Ca2+ was high in the quiescence and gradually decreased after that. The effects of blockers and antibodies against candidate components revealed that the Ca2+ influx was induced by Ca2+ channels and the Ca2+ efflux was induced by a flagellasialin-related Ca2+- efflux system, plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases and the K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. The results show that the Ca2+-dependent mechanosensory behaviour of the sea urchin sperm is regulated by organized functioning of the membrane environment including the plasma membrane proteins and flagellasialin. © 2011 by Japan Society for Cell Biology.

The monoclonal antibody mAb.A2B5 is a marker for the detection of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells that differentiate into type-2 astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. It is also a useful antibody for separating these cells from other lineage populations. The epitope of this antibody is considered to be the gangliosides GT3 and GQ1c. In this study, we sought to define more precisely the structure of the epitope. Accordingly, we chemically synthesized defined oligosialic acid structures linked to phosphatidylethanolamine and bovine serum albumin and used these to determine the antigenic specificity. mAb.A2B5 recognized the Neu5Acα2→8-Neu5Acα2→8Neu5Acα → structure on both glycolipids and glycoproteins. We then examined whether the mAb. A2B5 epitope exists on glycoproteins in developing mouse brains. Western blot analyses revealed the expression of four glycoproteins reactive with the mAb.A2B5, and their expression was dependent on the stage of neural development. All the immunoreactivity in these glycoproteins with mAb.A2B5 disappeared after sialidase treatment and were resistant to chloroform/methanol extraction. These epitopes were also detected in brain homogenates from both GD3 synthetase-null and GD3/GD2 synthetase double null mice. These findings show that the α 2,8- trisialic acid (triSia) unit recognized by mAb.A2B5 resides not only on gangliosides but also on glycoproteins in developing mouse brain. We postulate that the triSia structure on glycoproteins may be involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation, similar to the case with the α 2,8-triSia structure on gangliosides. Real time polymerase chain reaction analysis of the developmental expression of all known ST8Sia genes, which are responsible for the biosynthesis of α 2,8- linked Sia residues, showed that ST8Sia III gene expression correlated with expression of the triSia epitope. We suggest that ST8Sia III is the principal sialyltransferase responsible for synthesis of the α 2,8-triSia units on glycoproteins. © The Author 2010. Published by Oxford University Press.

The β(1,2)-xylose- and/or α(1,3)-fucose-containing cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs) are present in various plant and insect N-glycans, and have been attracted as potential antigens in IgE-mediated allergies and immunologically undesired post-translational products on some recombinant therapeutic proteins. By using ELISA and immunoblotting, CCDs-specific IgG and IgE antibodies from some, but not all, of mice and humans were found to fully retain their binding activity after a typical periodate-treatment to CCDs, which did cause the CCDs' antigenic activity to those from the other mice and rabbits to disappear almost completely. Furthermore, the mouse IgE recognizing the periodate-resistant CCDs induced the CCDs/IgE-dependent degranulation of rat basophilic RBL-2H3 cells. These findings indicate that in some cases CCDs include those dependent of the core trisaccharide more strongly than the terminal xylose and fucose, which might have been screened out in the CCDs analyses based on the loss of antibody-binding by the periodate-treatment. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Acute-phase proteins are an important marker of inflammation and sometimes have a role in the general defense response towards tissue injury. In the present study, we identified a 32-kDa protein that was immunoreactive with monoclonal antibody 2-4B (mAb.2-4B), which is specific to di/oligoNeu5Gc structures, and that behaved as an acute-phase protein following stimulation with either turpentine oil or lipopolysaccharides. The 32-kDa protein was identified as carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II), based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analyses of the purified protein. Mouse and human CA-II was immunoreactive and immunoprecipitated with mAb.2-4B, but contained no sialic acid. In addition to mAb.2-4B, the mAb. S2-566 an antibody specific for diNeu5Ac-containing glycans, recognized the CA-II, whereas an anti-oligo/polysialic acid antibody did not. These results indicate that a part of the CA-II protein structure mimics the disialic acid structure recognized by the monoclonal antibodies. This is the first report that CA-II circulates in the serum following inflammation. © 2007 The Japanese Biochemical Society.

The egg envelope, referred to as zona pellucida (ZP) in mammalian eggs, is a fibrous and noncollagenous extracellular matrix surrounding vertebrate eggs, and composed of three to four homologous glycoproteins with a common ZP domain. In birds, a liver-derived ZP glycoprotein (ZP1/ZPB1) is transported through the bloodstream to ovarian follicles and joins the egg-envelope matrix construction together with the other ZP glycoproteins, such as ZPC and ZPD/ZPX2, both secreted from follicular granulosa cells. We report here that, through its ZP domain, ZPB1 specifically associates with ZPC, which might lead to the construction of egg-envelope matrix. The ZPB1 in laying hen's serum specifically bound to ZPC, but not to ZPX2, separated by SDS-PAGE and blotted on a membrane. Hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged ZPC expressed in a mammalian cell line (COS-7) cells was processed and secreted as a mature-form into the culture medium. From the culture supernatant of ZPC-expressing transfectants cultured in the presence of ZPB1, both ZPB1 and ZPC were recovered as heterocomplexes by immunoprecipitation using either anti-HA or anti-ZPB1 antibody. Interestingly, a monoclonal antibody, 8E1, which immunoprecipitated free ZPB1, did not immunoprecipitate the ZPB1-ZPC heterocomplexes. An 8E1 epitope was mapped on a C-terminal region of the ZP domain in a ZPB1 molecule by identifying an 8E1-positive peptide using mass spectroscopy. Furthermore, by laser scanning confocal microscopy, ZPB1 and ZPC were observed to colocalize on the surface of ZPC-expressing transfectants cultured in the presence of ZPB1, whereas almost no ZPC was detected on the surface of the transfectants cultured in the absence of ZPB1. Taken together, these results suggest that ZPB1 transported into ovarian follicles encounters and associates with ZPC secreted from granulosa cells, resulting in the formation of heterocomplexes around an oocyte. In addition, it appears that such ZPB1-ZPC complexes accumulated on the oocyte surface act as a scaffold for subsequent matrix construction events including ZPX2 association. © 2007 by the Society for the Study of Reproduction, Inc.

A novel α2,9-linked polysialic acid (polySia)-containing glycoprotein of sea urchin sperm flagella was identified and named "flagellasialin." Flagellasialin from Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus shows a diverse relative molecular mass on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of 40-80 kDa. Flagellasialin is a 96-amino acid, threonine-rich, heavily O-glycosylated (80-90% by weight) glycoprotein with a single transmembrane segment at its C-terminus and no apparent cytosolic domain. Of 12 extracellular Thr residues, eight are O-glycosylated and three are nonglycosylated. Flagellasialin is highly expressed in the testis but cannot be detected in the ovary. The amino acid sequences of flagellasialin from three sea urchin species (H. pulcherrimus, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) are identical, but some species differences exist in the three core glycan structures to which the sulfated α2,9-linked polyNeu5Ac chain is linked. Finally, the treatment of sperm with a specific antibody against the α2,9-linked polyNeu5Ac structure results in the elevation of intracellular Ca²⁺ and inhibition of sperm motility and fertilization, implicating flagellasialin as a regulator of these critical processes. © 2006 Oxford University Press.

Serum glycoproteins are involved in various biologic activities, such as the removal of exogenous antigens, fibrinolysis, and metal transport. Some of them are also useful markers of inflammation and disease. Although the amount of sialic acid increases following inflammation, little attention has been paid to the presence of linkage-specific epitopes in serum, especially the α2,8-linkage. In a previous study, we demonstrated that four components in mouse serum contain α2,8-linked disialic acid (diSia), based on immunoreactivity with monoclonal antibody 2-4B, which is specific to N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc)α2→(8Neu5Gcα2→)<inf>n-1</inf>, n ≥ 2 [Yasukawa et al., (2005) Glycobiology, 15, 827-837]. In this study, we purified three components, 30-, 70-, and 120-kDa gp, and identified them as an immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain, vitronectin, and plasminogen, respectively, using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy analyses. Modifications of these proteins with α2,8-linked diSia were chemically confirmed by fluorometric C<inf>7</inf>/C<inf>9</inf> analyses and mild acid hydrolysates-fluorometric anion-exchange chromatography analyses. We also demonstrated that the IgG, IgM, and IgE light chains are commonly modified with α2,8-linked diSia. In addition, both mouse and rat vitronectin contained diSia, and the amount of disialylation in vitronectin dramatically decreased after hepatectomy. These results indicate that a novel diSia modification of serum glycoproteins is biologically important for immunologic events and fibrinolysis. © 2006 Oxford University Press.

A novel α2,9-linked polysialic acid-containing glycoprotein of sea urchin sperm flagella was previously identified and named “flagellasialin". Flagellasialin from Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus shows a diverse relative molecular mass on SDS-PAGE of 40-80 kDa. Its glycan structures were determined as HSO3→8Neu5Acα2→9(Neu5Acα2→9)n-2Neu5Acα2→6GalNAcα1→Thr (n, averaging 15) [Miyata et al. (2004) Glycobiology, 14, 827-840]. In this study, we purified flagellasialin, and cloned its cDNA. Flagellasialin is a 96-amino acid, threonine-rich, heavily O-glycosylated (80-90% by weight) glycoprotein with a single transmembrane segment at its C-terminus and no apparent cytosolic domain. Of 12 extracellular Thr residues, eight are O-glycosylated and three are non-glycosylated. Flagellasialin is highly expressed in testis, but cannot be detected in ovary.

In this study, we purified three components, 30kDa-gp, 70kDa-gp, and 120kDa-gp and identified as the light chain of immunoglobulins, vitronectin, and plasminogen, respectively, using MALDI-TOF MS analyses. The modifications of these proteins with the α2,8-linked disialic acid was chemically confirmed by fluorometric C7/C9 analyses and acid hydrolysates-DMB methods. We also showed that the light chains of IgG, IgM and IgE are commonly modified with the α2,8-linked disialic acid. In addition, not only mouse vitronectin but also rat vitronectin was also modified with disialic acid and the amount of disialylation on vitronectin decreased after hepatectomy. These results indicate that disialic acid-modification on serum glycoprotein has some biological meanings in immunological events and fibrinolysis.

The expression of acute-phase serum proteins increases in response to inflammatory stimuli. Most of these proteins are glycoproteins that often contain sialic acids (Sia). It is unknown, however, how the expression of Sia in these glycoproteins changes during inflammation. This study demonstrates changes in the α2,3-, α2,6-, and α2,8-Sia glycotopes on serum glycoproteins in response to turpentine oil-induced inflammation, based on lectin- and immunoblot analyses by using sialyl linkage-specific lectins, Maackia amurensis for the α2,3-Sia glycotope and Sambucus sieboldiana for the α2,6-Sia glycotopes, and monoclonal antibody 2-4B (mAb.2-4B) recognizing the di- and oligomers of the α2,8-Neu5Gc residue. There was an increase in a limited number of sialoglycoproteins containing the α2,3-, α2,6-, or α2,8-Sia glycotopes. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of the expression profiles of mRNAs for the known sialyltransferases in mouse liver during inflammation indicated the up-regulated expression of β-galactoside α2,3-sialyltransferases (ST3Gal I and ST3Gal III) and β-N-acetylgalactosaminide α2,6-sialyltransferase (ST6GalNAc VI) as well as β-galactoside α2,6-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal I) mRNAs. Notably, ST3Gal I and III and ST6GalNAc VI are involved in the synthesis of the α2,3- and α2,6-Sia glycotopes on O-glycan chains and possibly on gangliosides, whereas ST6Gal I is specific for N-glycan chains. These results provide evidence for the inflammation-induced expression of sialyl glycotopes in serum glycoproteins. We demonstrated that inflammation significantly increased the expression of an unknown 32-kDa glycoprotein containing the α2,8-Sia glycotope. The mechanism for the increase in glycoprotein in inflamed mouse serum remains to be examined, as mRNA expression for all of the α2,8-sialyltransferases (ST8Sia I-VI) was unchanged during inflammation. © The Author 2005.

Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV), is an autosomal recessive disorder with early adult onset, displays distal dominant muscular involvement and is characterized by the presence of numerous rimmed vacuoles in the affected muscle fibers. The pathophysiology of DMRV has not been clarified yet, although the responsible gene was identified as that encoding UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase involved hi the biosynthesis of sialic acids. To identify defective carbohydrate moieties of muscular glycoproteins from DMRV patients, frozen skeletal muscle sections from seven patients with DMRV, as well as normal and pathological controls, were treated with or without sialidase or N-glycosidase F followed by lectin staining and lectin blotting analysis. The sialic acid contents of the O-glycans in the skeletal muscle specimens from the DMRV patients were also measured. We found that Arachis hypogaea agglutinin (PNA) lectin reacted strongly with sarcolemmal glycoproteins in the DMRV patients but not with those in control subjects. α-Dystroglycan from the DMRV patients strongly associated with PNA lectin, although that from controls did not. The sialic acid level of the O-glycans in the DMRV muscular glycoproteins with molecular weights of 30 to 200 kd was reduced to 60 to 80% of the control level. The results show that impaired sialyl O-glycan formation in muscular glycoproteins, including α-dystroglycan, occurs in DMRV.

A new reliable method to assay the activity of cytidine monophosphate sialic acid (CMP-Sia) synthetase (CSS) has been developed. The activation of sialic acids (Sia) to CMP-Sia is a prerequisite for the de novo synthesis of sialoglycoconjugates. In vertebrates, CSS has been cloned from human, mouse, and rainbow trout, and the crystal structure has been resolved for the mouse enzyme. The mouse and rainbow trout enzyme have been compared with respect to substrate specificity, demonstrating that the mouse enzyme exhibits a pronounced specificity for N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), while the rainbow trout CSS is equally active with either of three Sia species, Neu5Ac, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), and deaminoneuraminic acid (KDN). However, molecular details that explain the pronounced substrate specificities are unknown. Understanding the catalytic mechanisms of these enzymes is of major importance, since CSSs play crucial roles in cellular sialylation patterns and thus are potential drug targets in a number of pathophysiological situations. The availability of the cDNAs and the obtained structural data enable rational approaches; however, these efforts are limited by the lack of a reliable high-throughput assay system. Here we describe a new assay system that allows product quantification in a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent color reaction. The activation reaction catalyzed by CSS, CTP + Sia → CMP-Sia + pyrophosphate, was evaluated by a consumption of Sia, which corresponds to that of NADH on the following two successive reactions: (i) Sia → pyruvate + ManNAc (or Man), catalyzed by a sialic acid lyase (SAL), and (ii) pyruvate + NADH → lactate + oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ⁺), catalyzed by a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Consumption of NADH can be photometrically monitored on a microtiter plate reader for a number of test samples at the same time. Furthermore, based on the quantification of CSS used in the SAL/LDH assay, relative activities toward Sia derivatives have been obtained. The preference of mouse CSS toward Neu5Ac and the ability of the rainbow trout enzyme to activate both KDN and Neu5Ac were confirmed. Thus, this simple and time-saving method is suitable for a systematic comparison of enzyme activity of structurally mutated enzymes based on the relative specific activity. © 2004 Elsevier Inc.

A new type of polysialic acid (polySia) structure was demonstrated to occur in a major unknown sialoglycoprotein with a diverse molecular mass of 40-80 kDa in sea urchin sperm. The polySia-containing glycan structure was determined to be HSO<inf>3</inf>→8Neu5Acα2→9(Neu5Acα2→9 <inf>n-2</inf> Neu5Acα2→6GalNAcα1→Ser/Thr (n, on average 15), based on carbohydrate analysis of the sialoglycopeptide obtained by an exhaustive protease digestion of whole sperm, fluorometric anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography, and methylation analysis. The sulfate group was predominantly localized to the nonreducing terminus of the polySia chain. This is the first example of an α2,9-linked polySia structure in animal sperm. The polySia-containing sialoglycoprotein was present in sperm flagellum but not in the head. Furthermore, this sialoglycoprotein localized in the sperm lipid raft, which contains an enriched ganglioside (Neu5Acα 2→8Neu5Acα2→6GlcCer), a receptor for sperm-activating peptide (speract), and its associated guanylate cyclase. © Oxford University Press 2004; all rights reserved.

The 350-kDa sperm-binding protein (SBP), a species-specific sperm-binding protein, is localized in the vitelline layer of sea urchin eggs. In this study, we have shown for the first time that sperm gangliosides are ligands for the intact glycosylated SBP. Using recombinant fragments of the SBP, the N-terminal heat shock protein 110-like domain was shown to be responsible for the binding. The intact SBP could bind various gangliosides, and the binding was sialidase-sensitive and inhibited by sialyllactose, thus indicating that it is the sialic acid-binding protein. Calcium and magnesium ions were not required but they did enhance the binding activity of SBP. The observation that bacterially expressed recombinant SBP and the sialidase-treated intact glycosylated SBP lost divalent cation-dependent enhancement of binding activity suggests that the sialylated carbohydrate moieties of the SBP may be involved in this property. Furthermore, the SBP was shown to bind sperm lipid rafts, in which gangliosides are enriched, and this binding was lost upon sialidase treatment of the lipid rafts. Finally, liposomes containing the ganglioside specifically inhibited fertilization. Taken together, these results allow us to identify SBP as a member of a new class of sialic acid-binding lectin belonging to the Hsp110 family, and indicate that SBP may be involved in interaction of sperm with the vitelline layer of the egg.

The neural cell adhesion molecule and the voltage-sensitive sodium channel α-subunit are the only two molecules in mammals known to be modified by α-2,8-linked polysialic acid (polySia). We found a new polySia-containing glycoprotein in human milk and identified it as CD36, a member of the B class of the scavenger receptor superfamily. The polysia-containing glycan chain(s) were removed by alkaline treatment but not by peptide: N-glycanase F digestion, indicating that milk CD36 contained polysia on O-linked glycan chain(s). Polysialylation of CD36 occurs not only in human milk but also in mouse milk. However, CD36 in human platelets is not polysialylated. PolySia CD36 is secreted in milk at any lactation stage and reaches peak level at 1 month after parturition. Thus, it is suggested that polySia of milk CD36 is significant for neonatal development in terms of protection and nutrition.

The Pronase digestion of a 54K glycoprotein present in ovarian fluid of rainbow trout yielded a major glycopeptide, Carbohydrate compositional analysis revealed that this glycopeptide was likely to possess a single large N-glycan chain having low molecular weight oligomers of N-acetylneuraminic acid (oligoNeu5Ac), Structural studies of this glycopeptide revealed novel alpha 2 --&gt; 8-linked disialylated poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains with Le(X) and I antigenic determinants on the N-linked tetraantennary core glycan, In our recent studies (Kitazume,S., Kitajima,K., Inoue,S., Inoue,Y. and Troy,F.A. (1994) J., Biol, Chem, 269, 10330-10340) we presented evidence that synthesis of alpha 2 --&gt; 8-linked polysialic acid (polySia) chains is a two-step process in which chain initiation is catalyzed by an alpha 2 --&gt; 8-sialyltransferase (alpha 2 --&gt; 8-ST; initiase) that catalyzes synthesis of the first Sia alpha 2 --&gt; 8-linkage, forming the disialic acid (diSia) unit, Sia alpha 2 --&gt; 8-Sia alpha 2 --&gt; 6-Gal-.Chain polymerization is then postulated to be catalyzed by a second enzyme, an alpha 2 --&gt; 8-polyST (''polymerase'') that converts the diSia units to polySia chains, The present structural studies leading to the discovery of alpha 2 --&gt; 8-linked disialylated units that terminate poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains in an N-linked glycoprotein is further evidence in support of our hypothesis that more than one sialyltransferase activity is required for polySia chain synthesis and polymerization.
