The O-linked oligosaccharides
(O-glycans) in mammalian glycoproteins are classified
according to their core structures. Among the most common is the core 1 disaccharide structure consisting of
Gal 1 3GalNAc 1 Ser/Thr, which is also the precursor for
many extended O-glycan structures. The key enzyme for
biosynthesis of core 1 O-glycan from the precursor
GalNAc- -Ser/Thr is UDP-Gal:GalNAc- -Ser/Thr 3-galactosyltransferase (core1 3-Gal-T). Core 1 3-Gal-T
activity, which requires Mn2+, was solubilized from rat
liver membranes and purified 71,034-fold to apparent homogeneity
(>90% purity) in 5.7% yield by ion exchange chromatography on
SP-Sepharose, affinity chromatography on immobilized asialo-bovine
submaxillary mucin, and gel filtration chromatography on Superose 12. The purified enzyme is free of contaminating glycosyltransferases. Two
peaks of core 1 3-Gal-T activity were identified in the final step
on Superose 12. One peak of activity contained protein bands on
non-reducing SDS-PAGE of ~84- and ~86-kDa disulfide-linked dimers,
whereas the second peak of activity contained monomers of ~43 kDa.
Reducing SDS-PAGE of these proteins gave ~42- and ~43-kDa monomers.
Both the 84/86-kDa dimers and the 42/43-kDa monomers have the same
novel N-terminal sequence. The purified enzyme, which is remarkably
stable, has an apparent Km for UDP-Gal of 630 µM and an apparent Vmax of 206 µmol/mg/h protein using GalNAc 1-O-phenyl as the
acceptor. The reaction product was generated using asialo-bovine
submaxillary mucin as an acceptor; treatment with
O-glycosidase generated the expected disaccharide Gal 1 3GalNAc. These studies demonstrate that activity of the core
1 1,3-Gal-T from rat liver is contained within a single, novel,
disulfide-bonded, dimeric enzyme.
