To address the role of alpha2,8-sialyltransferase (GD3 synthase) in the biosynthesis of gangliosides, we examined the substrate specificity of the enzyme. In the ganglioside synthesis pathway, it has been generally accepted that sialyltransferase II (SAT II) catalyzes the production of GD3 from GM3, and sialyltransferase V (SAT V) catalyzes the production of GD1c/GT1a/GQ1b from GM1h/GD1a/GT1b. However, acceptor specificity of the clones GD3 synthase that was isolated from human melanoma cells [Nara, K., Watanabe, Y., Maruyama, K., Kasahara, K., Nagai. Y. & Sanai, Y. (1994) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 91, 7952-7956] has revealed that this enzyme utilized the gangliosides containing the terminal Sia(alpha2-3)Gas structure of the carbohydrate moiety, which includes GM3, GM1b, GD1a and GT1B as exogenous substrates. Kinetic data also showed that the enzyme was able to utilize both GM3 and GM1b/GD1a/GT1b as acceptor substrates. These data indicate that the enzyme catalyzes the formation of not only GD3 but also GD1c, GT1a, and GQ1B in vitro. Furthermore, by transfection of the cloned human alpha2,8-sialyltransferase cDNA, transient and stable expression of GT1a and GQ1b wa also observed in COS-7 cells and Swiss 3T3 cells that originally lacked SAT II and SAT V activities. These observations indicate that the enzyme has both SAT II and SAT V activities in vivo. << Less

Molecular cloning and expression of a fifth type of alpha2,8-sialyltransferase (ST8Sia V). Its substrate specificity is similar to that of SAT-V/III, which synthesize GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b and GT3.
Kono M., Yoshida Y., Kojima N., Tsuji S.
The cDNAs encoding a new alpha2,8-sialyltransferase (ST8Sia V) were cloned from a mouse brain cDNA library by means of a polymerase chain reaction-based method using the nucleotide sequence information on mouse ST8Sia I (GD3 synthase) and mouse ST8Sia III (Siaalpha2,3Galbeta1,4GlcNAcalpha2,8-sialy ... >> More
The cDNAs encoding a new alpha2,8-sialyltransferase (ST8Sia V) were cloned from a mouse brain cDNA library by means of a polymerase chain reaction-based method using the nucleotide sequence information on mouse ST8Sia I (GD3 synthase) and mouse ST8Sia III (Siaalpha2,3Galbeta1,4GlcNAcalpha2,8-sialyltransferase ), both of which exhibit activity toward glycolipids. The predicted amino acid sequence of ST8Sia V shows 36.1% and 15.0% identity to those of mouse ST8Sia I and III, respectively. The recombinant protein A-fused ST8Sia V expressed in COS-7 cells exhibited an alpha2, 8-sialyltransferase activity toward GM1b, GD1a, GT1b, and GD3, and synthesized GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b, and GT3, respectively. The apparent Km values for GM1b, GD1a, GT1b and GD3 were 1.1, 0.082, 0.070, and 0.28 mM, respectively. However, ST8Sia V did not exhibit activity toward GM3. Thus, the substrate specificity of ST8Sia V is different from those of ST8Sia I and III, both of which exhibit activity toward GM3. Transfection of the ST8Sia V gene into COS-7 cells, which express GD1a as a major glycolipid, led to the expression of determinants for monoclonal antibody 4F10, which recognizes GT1a and GQ1b, suggesting that ST8Sia V exhibits activity toward gangliosides GD1a and/or GT1b in vivo. The expression of the ST8Sia V gene was tissue- and developmental stage-specific, and was clearly different from those of other alpha2,8-sialyltransferase genes. The ST8Sia V gene was strongly expressed in the brain and weakly in other tissues such as the liver. In addition, its expression was greater in the adult than fetal brain. These results strongly indicate that ST8Sia V is a candidate for SAT-V, the alpha2,8-sialyltransferase involved in GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b, and GT3 synthesis. << Less

The cDNA encoding human alpha2,8-sialyltransferase (hST8Sia V) which exhibits activity toward gangliosides, GM1b, GD1a, GT1b, and GD3, was isolated by screening of human brain cDNA library with a DNA probe generated from the cDNA sequence of mouse ST8Sia V (mST8Sia V) and by 5'-RACE of mRNA from human brain tissue. Comparative analysis of this cDNA with mST8Sia V showed that each sequence of the predicted coding region contains 84% identity in both nucleotide and amino acid. Northern analysis of this cDNA indicated that, in contrast to mST8Sia V, two different sizes of transcripts corresponding to 11 and 2.5 kb were expressed in both human fetal and adult brain, while the transcript of 2.5 kb was detected only in adult heart and skeletal muscle. The enzyme expressed in COS cells showed a substrate specificity very similar to that of mST8Sia V. << Less
