From the Dagger  Department of Neurobiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Hönggerberg, 8093 Zürich, Switzerland, the § Department of Biological Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kyoto University, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-01, Japan, the  Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninsky Prospect 47, Moscow B-334, 117913 Russia, and the par  Zentrum für Molekulare Neurobiologie, Universität Hamburg, Martinistraße 52, D-20246 Hamburg, Germany

The HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope is expressed on several neural adhesion glycoproteins and as a glycolipid, and is involved in cell interactions. The structural element of the epitope common to glycoproteins and glycolipids has been determined to be sulfate-3-GlcAbeta 1right-arrow 3Galbeta 1right-arrow4GlcNAc. The glucuronyltransferase and sulfotransferase are considered to be the key enzymes in the biosynthesis of this epitope because the rest of the structure occurs often in glycoconjugates. Here we describe the isolation of the rat sulfotransferase cDNA via an expression cloning strategy. The clone finally isolated predicts a protein of 356 amino acids, with characteristics of a type II transmembrane protein and with no sequence similarity to other known sulfotransferases. Both the enzyme expressed as a soluble fusion protein and homogenates of cells transfected with the full-length cDNA could transfer sulfate from a sulfate donor to acceptor substrates containing terminal glucuronic acid.
