The CD15 carbohydrate epitope is expressed in mature human neutrophils, monocytes, and promyelocytes. We aimed to determine the alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase responsible for the expression of CD15 in each subpopulation of leukocytes. Three alpha1,3-fucosyltransferases, FUT4, FUT7, and FUT9, are expressed in human leukocytes. We demonstrated that FUT9 exhibits 20-fold stronger activity for CD15 synthesis than FUT4, whereas FUT4 exhibits 4.5-fold stronger activity for CDw65 synthesis than FUT9. By competitive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, FUT9 was found to be strongly expressed in mature granulocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cell, but not in monocytes. CD34(+) and CD15(+) cells in cord blood and myeloid cell lines (HL-60 and U937) did not express FUT9 at all. FUT4 transcripts were ubiquitously expressed in all blood cells and all cultured cell lines, with HL-60 and U937 cells in particular expressing a number of FUT4 transcripts. Transfection of the FUT9 gene into Jurkat and U937 cells demonstrated that FUT9 has the potential to express CD15 in myeloid and lymphoid cells. These findings suggest that the expression of CD15 in mature granulocytes is directed by FUT9, whereas it is determined in promyelocytes and monocytes by FUT4. Measurement of CD15 synthesizing activity in cell homogenates of each cell population using the polylactosamine acceptor further supported these conclusions. << Less

We have used the human Lewis blood group fucosyltransferase cDNA and cross-hybridization procedures to isolate a human gene that encodes a distinct fucosyltransferase. Its DNA sequence predicts a type II transmembrane protein whose sequence is identical to 133 of 231 amino acids at corresponding positions within the catalytic domain of the Lewis fucosyltransferase. When expressed by transfection in cultured cell lines, this gene determines expression of a fucosyltransferase capable of efficiently utilizing N-acetyllactosamine to form the Lewis x determinant (Gal beta 1----4[Fuc alpha 1----3]GlcNAc). By contrast, biochemical and flow cytometry analyses suggest that the enzyme cannot efficiently utilize the type II acceptor NeuNAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc, to form the sialyl Lewis x determinant. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, however, the enzyme can determine expression of the alpha 2----3-sialylated, alpha 1----3-fucosylated structure known as VIM-2, a putative oligosaccharide ligand for ELAM-1. Cell adhesion assays using VIM-2-positive, sialyl Lewis x-negative transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells indicate that surface expression of the VIM-2 determinant is not sufficient to confer ELAM-1-dependent adhesive properties upon the cells. These results demonstrate that substantial structural similarities can exist between mammalian glycosyltransferases with closely related enzymatic properties, thus facilitating isolation of their cognate genes by cross-hybridization methods. The results further suggest that cell surface expression of the VIM-2 determinant is not necessarily sufficient to mediate ELAM-1-dependent cell adhesion. << Less
