    Abstract N-Glycosylation has long been linked to protein folding and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recent work has shown that O-linked glycosylation and the corresponding glycosyltransferases also participate in this important function. Notably, Protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 (Ofut1/Pofut1), a soluble, ER localized enzyme that fucosylates Epidermal Growth Factor-like (EGF) repeats, functions as a chaperone involved in the proper localization of the Notch receptor in certain contexts. Pofut2, a related enzyme that modifies Thrombospondin type I repeats (TSRs), has also been hypothesized to play a role in the folding and quality control of TSR-containing proteins. Both enzymes only modify fully folded substrates suggesting that they are able to distinguish between folded and unfolded structures. Pofuts have known physiological relevance and are conserved across metazoans. Though consensus sequences for O-fucosylation have been established and structures of both Pofuts have been studied, the mechanism of how they participate in protein folding is not known. This article discusses past and recent advances made in novel roles for these protein O-glycosyltransferases.

    Abstract We previously showed that the sialoglycoprotein, CD34, which is expressed on primitive human hematopoietic progenitor cells, is cleaved by a unique glycoprotease from Pasteurella haemolytica (P.h. glycoprotease). This proteolytic enzyme specifically cleaves glycoproteins rich in O-sialoglycans. Glycoproteins containing only N-linked glycans are not cleaved. Cleavage of the CD34 antigen results in the loss of epitopes detected by five of seven CD34-designated antibodies. In this study, we investigated the role of the P.h. glycoprotease in isolating CD34+ cells from unfractionated normal human bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNCs), and determined the effect of the glycoprotease on the proliferative capacity of the progenitor-enriched fraction. CD34+ cells were isolated from MNCs using immunomagnetic beads attached via a CD34 antibody whose epitope is susceptible to removal by the cleavage with the glycoprotease. Subsequent cleavage with P.h. glycoprotease for 30 min at 37 degrees C released the CD34+ cells from the beads with a recovery of up to 78%. Using a CD34 antibody whose epitope was not removed by the glycoprotease, up to 95% of the recovered cells expressed CD34. Compared to unseparated MNCs, the CD34+ cells showed the following enrichment of committed hematopoietic progenitors, as assayed in semi-solid media: CFU-GM, 45-fold; CFU-M, 13-fold; BFU-E, 26-fold and CFU-GEMM, 81-fold. Hematopoiesis was also studied in two-stage long-term bone marrow cultures in which the CD34+ cells were co-cultured over irradiated, allogeneic adherent layers. Output of CFU-GM over a seven week period from these cultures was similar to that from control cultures with autologous adherent-cell-depleted marrow MNCs. These data suggest that the loss of O-sialo-glycosylated peptide moieties from P.h. glycoprotease-released CD34+ cells neither affects the functional capacity of committed progenitors, nor impairs the proliferation of long-term culture-generating cells. The P.h. glycoprotease can be used to facilitate the isolation and recovery of functionally competent CD34+ cells at high yield and purity, without prior removal of other adherent cells. The ability to rapidly purify CD34+ cells using this non-cytotoxic enzyme has important implications for bone marrow transplantation as well as for gene transfer studies in vitro.
