Crystal structure of pp-GalNAc-T10 complexed with GalNAc-Ser on lectin domain

Overview

Mucin-type O-glycans are important carbohydrate chains involved in, differentiation and malignant transformation. Biosynthesis of the O-glycan, is initiated by the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) which is, catalyzed by UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide, alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (pp-GalNAc-Ts). Here we present, crystal structures of the pp-GalNAc-T10 isozyme, which has specificity for, glycosylated peptides, in complex with the hydrolyzed donor substrate, UDP-GalNAc and in complex with GalNAc-serine. A structural comparison with, uncomplexed pp-GalNAc-T1 suggests that substantial conformational changes, occur in two loops near the catalytic center upon donor substrate binding, and that a distinct interdomain arrangement between the catalytic and, lectin domains forms a narrow cleft for acceptor substrates. The distance, between the catalytic center and the carbohydrate-binding site on the, lectin beta sub-domain influences the position of GalNAc glycosylation on, GalNAc-glycosylated peptide substrates. A chimeric enzyme in which the two, domains of pp-GalNAc-T10 are connected by a linker from pp-GalNAc-T1, acquires activity toward non-glycosylated acceptors, identifying a, potential mechanism for generating the various acceptor specificities in, different isozymes to produce a wide range of O-glycans.
