    Abstract A large family of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts) initiate mucin type O-glycosylation transferring α-GalNAc from a UDP-GalNAc donor to the hydroxyl groups of Ser and Thr residues of peptides and proteins, thereby defining sites of O-glycosylation. Mutations and differential expression of several GalNAc-Ts are associated with many disease states including cancers. The mechanisms by which these isozymes choose their targets and their roles in disease are not fully understood. We previously showed that the GalNAc-Ts possess common and unique specificities for acceptor type, peptide sequence and prior neighboring, and/or remote substrate GalNAc glycosylation. In the present study, the role of flanking charged residues was investigated using a library of charged peptide substrates containing the central -YAVTPGP- acceptor sequence. Eleven human and one bird GalNAc-T were initially characterized revealing a range of preferences for net positive, net negative, or unique combinations of flanking N- and/or C-terminal charge, correlating to each isozyme's different electrostatic surface potential. It was further found that isoforms with high sequence identity (>70%) within a subfamily can possess vastly different charge specificities. Enzyme kinetics, activities obtained at elevated ionic strength, and molecular dynamics simulations confirm that the GalNAc-Ts differently recognize substrate charge outside the common +/-3 residue binding site. These electrostatic interactions impact how charged peptide substrates bind/orient on the transferase surface, thus modulating their activities. In summary, we show the GalNAc-Ts utilize more extended surfaces than initially thought for binding substrates based on electrostatic, and likely other hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions, furthering our understanding of how these transferases select their target.

    Abstract Protein O-GalNAcylation is an abundant post-translational modification and predicted to occur in over 80% of the proteins passing through the Golgi apparatus. This modification is driven by 20 polypeptide GaINAc (N-acetylgalactosamine)-transferases (GalNAc-Ts), which are unique in that they possess both catalytic and lectin domains. The peptide substrate specificities of GalNAc-Ts are still poorly defined and our understanding of the sequence and structural features that direct O-glycosylation of proteins is limited. Part of this may be attributed to the complex regulation by coordinated action of multiple GalNAc-T isoforms, and part of this may also be attributed to the two functional domains of GalNAc-Ts that both seems to be involved in directing the substrate specificities. Recent studies have resulted in 3D structures of GalNAc-Ts and determination of the reaction mechanism of this family of enzymes. Key advances include the trapping of binary/ternary complexes in combination with computational simulations and AFM/small-SAXS experiments, which have allowed for the dissection of the reaction coordinates and the mechanism by which the lectin domains modulate the glycosylation. These studies not only broaden our knowledge of the modes-of-action of this family of enzymes but also open up potential avenues for the rational design of effective and selective inhibitors of O-glycosylation.

    Abstract Protein O-fucosyltransferase 2 (PoFUT2) is an inverting glycosyltransferase (GT) that fucosylates thrombospondin repeats (TSRs) from group 1 and 2. PoFUT2 recognizes a large and diverse number of TSRs through a dynamic network of water-mediated interactions. By X-ray structural studies of C. elegans PoFUT2 complexed to a TSR of group 2, we demonstrate that this GT recognizes similarly the 3D structure of TSRs from both groups 1 and 2. Its active site is highly exposed to the solvent, suggesting that water molecules might also play an essential role in the fucosylation mechanism. We applied QM/MM methods using human PoFUT2 as a model, and found that HsPoFUT2 follows a classical S

    Abstract Protein O-fucosylation is an important post-translational modification (PTM) found in cysteine-rich repeats in proteins. Protein O-fucosyltransferases 1 and 2 (PoFUT1 and PoFUT2) are the enzymes responsible for this PTM and selectively glycosylate specific residues in epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats and thrombospondin type I repeats (TSRs), respectively. Within the past six years, crystal structures of both enzymes have been reported, revealing important information on how they recognize protein substrates and achieve catalysis. Here, the structural information available today is summarized and how PoFUT1 and PoFUT2 employ different catalytic mechanisms is discussed.

    Abstract Glycans control various biological processes, depending on their structures. Particularly, core fucose, formed by α1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8), has a substantial influence on multiple biological processes. In this study, we investigated the development of FUT8 inhibitors with structural elements encompassing both the glycosyl donor (GDP-fucose) and acceptor ( N -glycan) of FUT8. To efficiently optimize the structure of FUT8 inhibitors, we employed a strategy involving fragmentation of the target structure, followed by a structure optimization using a diversity-oriented synthesis approach. This study proposes an efficient strategy to accelerate the structural optimization of middle molecules.
