  • Title: Probing sialic acid binding Ig-like lectins (siglecs) with sulfated oligosaccharides.
    Author: Rapoport EM, Pazynina GV, Sablina MA, Crocker PR, Bovin NV.
    Journal: Biochemistry (Mosc); 2006 May; 71(5):496-504. PubMed ID: 16732727.
    Abstract:
    Soluble siglecs-1, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, and -10 were probed with polyacrylamide glycoconjugates in which: 1) the Neu5Ac residue was substituted by a sulfate group (Su); 2) glycoconjugates contained both Su and Neu5Ac; 3) sialoglycoconjugates contained a tyrosine-O-sulfate residue. It was shown that sulfate derivatives of LacNAc did not bind siglecs-1, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, and -10; binding of 6'-O-Su-LacNAc to siglec-8 was stronger than binding of 3'SiaLacNAc. The relative affinity of 3'-O-Su-TF binding to siglecs-1, -4, and -8 was similar to that of 3'SiaTF. 3'-O-Su-Le(c) displayed two-fold weaker binding to siglec-1 and siglec-4 than 3'SiaLe(c). The interaction of soluble siglecs with sulfated oligosaccharides containing sialic acid was also studied. It was shown that siglecs-1, -4, -5, -6, -7, -9, and -10 did not interact with these compounds; binding of 6-O-Su-3'SiaLacNAc and 6-O-Su-3'SiaTF to siglec-8 was weaker than that of the corresponding sulfate-free sialoside probes. Siglec-8 displayed affinity to 6'-O-Su-LacNAc and 6'-O-Su-SiaLe(x), and defucosylation of the latter compound led to an increase in the binding. Sialoside probes containing tyrosine-O-sulfate residue did not display increased affinity to siglecs-1 and -5 compared with glycoconjugates containing only sialoside. Cell-bound siglecs-1, -5, -7, and -9 did not interact with 6-O-Su-3'SiaLacNAc, whereas the sulfate-free probe 3'SiaLacNAc demonstrated binding. In contrast, the presence of sulfate in 6-O-Su-6'SiaLacNAc did not affect binding of the sialoside probe to siglecs. 6'-O-Su-SiaLe(x) displayed affinity to cell-bound siglecs-1 and -5; its isomer 6-O-Su-SiaLe(x) bound more strongly to siglecs-1, -5, and -9 than SiaLe(x).
