Here we report the cDNA sequence of a human ganglioside sialidase. The cDNA was isolated from a human brain cDNA library by screening with a 240 bp probe generated by polymerase chain reaction using primers based on the sequences of rat cytosolic and bovine membrane sialidases which we previously cloned. The 3.0 kb cDNA encodes an open reading frame of 436 amino acids containing a putative transmenbrane domain and an Arg-Ile-Pro and three Asp-box sequences characteristic of sialidases and showing overall 83% and 39% identities to the bovine and rat enzymes, respectively. Northern blot analysis revealed high expression in skeletal muscle and testis, but low level in kidney, placenta, lung, and digestive organs. Transient expression of the cDNA in COS-1 cells resulted in a 130-fold increase in sialidase activity compared to the control level, and the activity was found to be almost specific for gangliosides. Fluorescent in situ hybridization allowed the human sialidase gene localized to chromosome 11 at q 13.5. << Less

Based on the human cDNA sequence predicted to represent the NEU4 sialidase gene in public databases, a cDNA covering the entire coding sequence was isolated from human brain and expressed in mammalian cells. The cDNA encodes two isoforms: one possessing an N-terminal 12-amino-acid sequence that is predicted to be a mitochondrial targeting sequence, and the other lacking these amino acids. Expression of the isoforms is tissue specific, as assessed by reverse transcription-PCR. Brain, muscle and kidney contained both isoforms; liver showed the highest expression, and the short form was predominant in this organ. In transiently transfected COS-1 cells, enzyme activity was markedly increased with gangliosides as well as with glycoproteins and oligosaccharides as substrates compared with the control levels. This differs from findings with other human sialidases. Although the isoforms were not distinguishable with regard to substrate specificity, they exhibited differential subcellular localizations. Immunofluorescence microscopy and biochemical fractionation demonstrated that an exogenously expressed haemagglutinin-tagged long form of NEU4 was concentrated in mitochondria in several human culture cell types, whereas the short form was present in intracellular membranes, indicating that the sequence comprising the N-terminal 12 amino acid residues acts as a targeting signal for mitochondria. Co-localization of the long form to mitochondria was further supported by efficient targeting of the N-terminal region fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein, and by the targeting failure of a mutant with an amino acid substitution in this region. NEU4 is possibly involved in regulation of apoptosis by modulation of ganglioside G(D3), which accumulates in mitochondria during apoptosis and is the best substrate for the sialidase. << Less
