Unliganded and CMP-Neu5Ac bound structures of human α-2,6-sialyltransferase ST6Gal I at high resolution.

Abstract:

:Sialic acid residues found as terminal monosaccharides in various types of glycan chains in cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids have been identified as important contributors of cell-cell interactions in normal vs. abnormal cellular behavior and are pivotal in diseases such as cancers. In vertebrates, sialic acids are attached to glycan chains by a conserved subset of sialyltransferases with different enzymatic and substrate specificities. ST6Gal I is a sialyltransferase using activated CMP-sialic acids as donor substrates to catalyze the formation of a α2,6-glycosidic bond between the sialic acid residue and the acceptor disaccharide LacNAc. Understanding sialyltransferases at the molecular and structural level shed light into their function. We present here two human ST6Gal I structures, which show for the first time the enzyme in the unliganded state and with the full donor substrate CMP-Neu5Ac bound. Comparison of these structures reveal flexibility of the catalytic loop, since in the unliganded structure Tyr354 adopts a conformation seen also as an alternate conformation in the substrate bound structure. CMP-Neu5Ac is bound with the side chain at C5 of the sugar residue directed outwards at the surface of the protein. Furthermore, the exact binding mode of the sialic acid moiety of the substrate directly involves sialylmotifs L, S and III and positions the sialylmotif VS in the immediate vicinity. We also present a model for the ternary complex of ST6Gal I with both the donor and the acceptor substrates.
