The Drosophila melanogaster glucuronyltransferases dGlcAT-S and dGlcAT-P were reported to be expressed ubiquitously and results of in vitro activity assays indicate a functional redundancy. We analyzed both transferases in vivo and in vitro and could show significant differences in their activity towards N-and O-glycoproteins in vivo. While GlcAT-P is able to use N-linked N-acetyllactosamine chains and the O-linked T-antigen as a substrate to form non-sulfated HNK1- (GlcAβ1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-) and glucuronyl-T-antigens in vivo, GlcAT-S adds glucuronic acid only to N-linked chains, thereby synthesizing only the non-sulfated HNK1-antigen.
据报道,果蝇的葡萄糖醛酸转移酶dGlcAT-S和dGlcAT-P在体内广泛表达,体外活性测定结果表明它们具有功能冗余性。我们在体内和体外对这两种转移酶进行了分析,结果显示它们在体内对N-糖蛋白和O-糖蛋白的活性存在显著差异。虽然GlcAT-P能够利用N-连接的N-乙酰乳糖胺链和O-连接的T抗原作为底物,在体内形成非硫酸化的HNK1-(GlcAβ1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-)和葡萄糖醛酸基-T抗原,但GlcAT-S仅将葡萄糖醛酸添加到N-连接链上,因此仅合成非硫酸化的HNK1抗原。
