Installation of O-glycan sulfation capacities in human HEK293 cells

ABSTRACT: The human genome contains at least 35 genes that encode Golgi sulfotransferases functioning in the secretory pathway, where they are involved in decorating glycosaminoglycans, glycolipids, and glycoproteins with sulfate groups. Our insight into the sulfotransferases that serve glycoproteins and in particular GalNAc-type O-glycoproteins is limited, yet a number of important interactions with sulfated glycans by e.g. Selectins, Galectins, and Siglecs are thought to mainly rely on sulfated O-glycans. Moreover, sulfated mucins appear to be accumulated in respiratory diseases, arthritis and cancer. To explore further the genetic and biosynthetic regulation of sulfated O-glycans, we have started to expand a cell-based glycan array in the human HEK293 cell line with sulfation capacities. Here, we stably engineered O-glycan sulfation capacities in HEK293 cells by site-directed knock-in of sulfotransferase genes, in combination with knockout of endogenous core2 and/or sialylation capacities, to enable production of mucin reporters with sulfated O-glycans. Expression of GAL3ST2 in HEK293 cells resulted in sulfation of core1 and core2 O-glycans, whereas expression of GAL3ST4 resulted in sulfation of core1 only. We used the engineered cell library to dissect the binding specificity of galectin-4 and confirmed binding to the 3-O-sulfo-core1 O-glycan

Project description:The phylum Bacteroidetes is a major component of the human gut microbiota which has a broad impact on the development and physiology of its host, and a potential role in a wide range of disease syndromes1-3. The predominance of Bacteroidetes and the genus Bacteroides in the distal gut is due in large part to the expansion of paralogous gene clusters, termed Polysaccharide Utilization Loci (PULs), dedicated to the uptake and catabolism of host derived and dietary polysaccharides4,5. It is generally thought that the diversity of PULs is key to Bacteroides successful competition for nutrients in the gut environment6. The nutritive value of the available polysaccharides varies greatly and thus their utilization is hierarchical and strictly controlled. A typical PUL includes regulatory genes that control expression in response to the presence of specific glycan substrates. However the existence of additional regulatory mechanisms has been predicted to explain phenomena such as the hierarchical control, catabolite repression, and the fine tuning of gene expression to match catabolic activity7-9. Using Bacteroides fragilis as a model organism, this report describes a previously unknown layer of regulatory control in which cis-encoded antisense small RNAs (sRNA) act as repressors of the PULsâ catabolic genes. Nearly 30% of B. fragilis PULs are subject to this type of sRNA control and these PULs tend to be more closely linked to the utilization of host-derived glycans than dietary polysaccharides. The findings described here indicate the presence of a global control mechanism that underlies the known regulatory circuits which modulate PUL expression in response to substrate availability, and hence provide novel insight into regulation of the gut Bacteroidetes physiology. This is a 4 chip study with 8 technical replicates on each chip. This was an in vitro, exploratory study to determine if mutation or overexpression of a sRNA associated with the Don locus would affect gene expression. In vitro cultures were grown in defined media with mucin glycans as the sole carbon source. The two chips representing growth of the wild type strain (638R) on mucin glycans were also used in a related study GSE53883 (GSM1303101 and GSM1303102).
