Expression cloning of a CMP-NeuAc:NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Cer alpha 2,8-sialyltransferase (GD3 synthase) from human melanoma cells.
Nara K., Watanabe Y., Maruyama K., Kasahara K., Nagai Y., Sanai Y.
Using an expression cloning approach, we have isolated a cDNA encoding GD3 synthase (CMP-NeuAc:NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Cer alpha 2,8-sialyltransferase, EC 2.4.99.8), which is a key regulatory enzyme determining the prominence of the ganglioside biosynthesis pathway.

Using an expression cloning approach, we have isolated a cDNA encoding GD3 synthase (CMP-NeuAc:NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Cer alpha 2,8-sialyltransferase, EC 2.4.99.8), which is a key regulatory enzyme determining the prominence of the ganglioside biosynthesis pathway. The cloned cDNA encodes a 341-amino acid protein containing a single transmembrane domain at its N-terminal region, suggesting that the protein has a type II transmembrane topology. The sequence of alpha 2,8-sialyltransferase showed a high level of similarity with other sialyltransferases at two conserved regions typical in the sialyltransferase family. Transfected cells containing the cloned cDNA expressed GD3 ganglioside on the cell surface, which was detectable with specific anti-GD3 antibody by immunofluorescence and immunostaining after separation of isolated glycolipids on thin-layer chromatography. The cDNA hybridized to a single mRNA species of 2.4 kb in melanoma cells. This sialyltransferase is distinctive in catalyzing the formation of the alpha 2-8 linkage of sialic acids. << Less

For the isolation of ganglioside GD3 synthase (EC 2.4.99.8) cDNA, we developed an expression cloning approach that used an anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody for selection. A host recipient cell line that we have named KF3027-Hyg5 was also utilized. This cell line expresses high levels of GM2 as well as GM3 but no GD3 or GD2 and was constructed from mouse B16 melanoma cells transfected with the polyoma large tumor antigen gene (KF3027) and the previously cloned beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.92) cDNA. Four rounds of transfection, monoclonal antibody 3F8 panning, and Hirt extraction resulted in the isolation of two cDNA clones, transfection of which directed the expression of GD3 in KF3027 and B16 melanoma cells and GD3 and GD2 in KF3027-Hyg5 cells. The cDNA contained a 1650-bp insert and a single open reading frame. The deduced amino acid predicted a type II membrane topology consisting of cytoplasmic (14 aa), transmembrane (18 aa), and catalytic (309 aa) domains. The sequence also predicted the presence of a sialyl motif similar to that found in the other sialyltransferases cloned so far. As expected, mRNA of this gene (2.6 kb) was strongly expressed in human melanoma lines. << Less

Expression cloning of a GM3-specific alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase (GD3 synthase).
Sasaki K., Kurata K., Kojima N., Kurosawa N., Ohta S., Hanai N., Tsuji S., Nishi T.

A cDNA encoding a GM3-specific alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase (GD3 synthase) was obtained from an expression cDNA library of human melanoma cell line WM266-4 by enrichment of Namalwa KJM-1 cells highly expressing GD3 using an anti-GD3 antibody and a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Selection of B-cell line Namalwa cells expressing transfected cDNAs in the presence of anti-GD3 monoclonal antibody KM641 gave a cDNA (pAMo-GD3) encoding a protein with a type II transmembrane topology as found for mammalian glycosyltransferases. The following evidence confirms that the cDNA encodes an alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase, which specifically converts GM3 to GD3. (i) Transfection of pAMo-GD3 into Namalwa KJM-1 cells leads to the appearance of GD3 and a GD3 synthase activity. (ii) Northern blot analysis revealed a correlation between the expression of this gene and GD3 in several cell lines. (iii) The putative COOH-terminal active domain of this cloned enzyme fused with protein A has been purified with IgG-Sepharose beads and has been shown to possess GD3-synthesizing activity, excluding the possibility that the cloned cDNA encodes a transacting factor inducing a GD3 synthase. The deduced primary sequence also contains the "sialyl motif" conserved among all the sialyltransferases cloned to date. The polymerase chain reaction analysis reveals that this gene is located on chromosome 12. << Less

Expression cloning of a human GT3 synthase. GD3 and GT3 are synthesized by a single enzyme.

Gangliosides of the C series such as GT3 are polysialylated glycosphingolipids whose synthesis is developmentally regulated.

Gangliosides of the C series such as GT3 are polysialylated glycosphingolipids whose synthesis is developmentally regulated. Here we report the expression cDNA cloning and characterization of GT3 synthase that adds the second alpha-2,8-sialic acid to GD3, NeuNAcalpha2-->8NeuNAcalpha2-->3Galbeta1-->4Glc-->Cer, thus forming GT3, NeuNAcalpha2-->8NeuNAcalpha2-->8NeuNAc alpha2-->3Galbeta1--> 4Glc-->Cer. Unexpectedly, the cloned cDNA was found to be identical to the cDNA that encodes GD3 synthase. The newly identified enzyme was therefore named GD3/GT3 synthase (GD3/GT3ST). GD3/GT3ST synthesized GT3 most efficiently when GM3, NeuNAcalpha2-->3Galbeta1-->4Glc-->Cer, was incubated as an acceptor, indicating that GD3/GT3ST is a polysialyltransferase that can transfer more than one sialic acid residue via alpha-2,8 linkage to gangliosides. Moreover, a longer period of incubation of GD3 with GD3/GT3ST produced a significant amount of GT3 and higher polysialogangliosides. Among various cell lines expressing GD3/GT3ST, higher polysialogangliosides including GT3 were detected only in cell lines where the amount of GD3/GT3 mRNA is sufficiently high. The expression of GD3/GT3ST mRNA among human tissues is highly restricted to fetal and adult brains. The GD3/GT3ST gene was found to be located at chromosome 12, region p12. Taken together, these results indicate that C series polysialogangliosides are synthesized by a ganglioside-specific polysialyltransferase, GD3/GT3ST, that is specifically expressed in neural tissues. << Less
