Cloning and Expression of a Proteoglycan UDP-Galactose:beta -Xylose beta 1,4-Galactosyltransferase I
A SEVENTH MEMBER OF THE HUMAN beta 4-GALACTOSYLTRANSFERASE GENE FAMILY

From the Dagger  School of Dentistry, University of Copenhagen, Nørre Allé 20, 2200 Copenhagen N, Denmark, the § Institute of Molecular Pathology and Immunology of University of Porto, Rua Dr. R. Frias s/n, 4200 Porto, Portugal, the  University of Georgia, Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, Athens, Georgia 30602, and the parallel  Institute of Physiological Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry, University of Münster, 48129 Münster, Germany

A seventh member of the human beta 4-galactosyltransferase family, beta 4Gal-T7, was identified by BLAST analysis of expressed sequence tags. The coding region of beta 4Gal-T7 depicts a type II transmembrane protein with sequence similarity to beta 4-galactosyltransferases, but the sequence was distinct in known motifs and did not contain the cysteine residues conserved in the other six members of the beta 4Gal-T family. The genomic organization of beta 4Gal-T7 was different from previous beta 4Gal-Ts. Expression of beta 4Gal-T7 in insect cells showed that the gene product had beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase activity with beta -xylosides, and the linkage formed was Galbeta 1-4Xyl. Thus, beta 4Gal-T7 represents galactosyltransferase I enzyme (xylosylprotein beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase; EC 2.4.1.133), which attaches the first galactose in the proteoglycan linkage region GlcAbeta 1-3Galbeta 1-3Galbeta 1-4Xylbeta 1-O-Ser. Sequence analysis of beta 4Gal-T7 from a fibroblast cell line of a patient with a progeroid syndrome and signs of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, previously shown to exhibit reduced galactosyltransferase I activity (Quentin, E., Gladen, A., Rodén, L., and Kresse, H. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 87, 1342-1346), revealed two inherited allelic variants, beta 4Gal-T7186D and beta 4Gal-T7206P, each with a single missense substitution in the putative catalytic domain of the enzyme. beta 4Gal-T7186D exhibited a 4-fold elevated Km for the donor substrate, whereas essentially no activity was demonstrated with beta 4Gal-T7206P. Molecular cloning of beta 4Gal-T7 should facilitate general studies of its pathogenic role in progeroid syndromes and connective tissue disorders with affected proteoglycan biosynthesis.
