The HNK-1 carbohydrate is expressed on various adhesion molecules in the nervous system and is suggested to play a role in cell-cell and cell-substratum interactions. Here we describe the isolation and functional expression of a cDNA encoding a human sulfotransferase that synthesizes the HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope. A mutant Chinese hamster ovary cell line, Lec2, which stably expresses human neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) (Lec2-NCAM), was first established. Lec2-NCAM was co-transfected with a human fetal brain cDNA library, a cDNA encoding the rat glucuronyltransferase that forms a precursor of the HNK-1 carbohydrate, and a vector encoding the polyoma large T antigen. The transfected Lec2-NCAM cells expressing the HNK-1 glycan were enriched by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Sibling selection of recovered plasmids resulted in a cDNA encoding a sulfotransferase, HNK-1ST, that directs the expression of the HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope on the cell surface. The deduced amino acid sequence indicates that the enzyme is a type II membrane protein. Sequence analysis revealed that there is a short amino acid sequence in the presumed catalytic domain, which is highly homologous to the corresponding sequence in other Golgi-associated sulfotransferases so far cloned. The amount of HNK-1ST transcript is high in fetal brain compared with fetal lung, kidney, and liver. Expression of HNK-1ST resulted in the formation of the HNK-1 epitope on N-CAM and a soluble chimeric form of HNK-1ST was shown to add a sulfate group to a precursor, GlcAbeta 1right-arrow3Galbeta 1right-arrow4GlcNAcbeta 1right-arrowR, forming sulforight-arrow3GlcAbeta 1right-arrow3Galbeta 1right-arrow4GlcNAcbeta 1right-arrowR. The results combined together indicate that the cloned HNK-1ST directs the synthesis of the HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope on both glycoproteins and glycolipids in the nervous tissues.
