ABSTRACT A new family of bacterial serine-rich repeat glycoproteins can function as adhesins required for biofilm formation and pathogenesis in streptococci and staphylococci. Biogenesis of these proteins depends on a gene cluster coding for glycosyltransferases and accessory secretion proteins. Previous studies show that Fap1, a member of this family from Streptococcus parasanguinis, can be glycosylated by a protein glycosylation complex in a recombinant heterogeneous host. Here we report a tandem affinity purification (TAP) approach used to isolate and study protein complexes from native streptococci. This method demonstrated that a putative glycosyltransferase (Gtf2), which is essential for Fap1 glycosylation, readily copurified with another glycosyltransferase (Gtf1) from native S. parasanguinis. This result and the similar isolation of a homologous two-protein complex from Streptococcus pneumoniae indicate the biological relevance of the complexes to the glycosylation in streptococci. Furthermore, novel N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity was discovered for the complexes. Optimal activity required heterodimer formation and appears to represent a novel type of glycosylation.

Eukaryotic protein glycosylation is mediated by glycosyl- and oligosaccharyl-transferases. Here, we describe how African trypanosomes exhibit both evolutionary conservation and significant divergence compared with other eukaryotes in how they synthesise their glycoproteins. The kinetoplastid parasites have conserved components of the dolichol-cycle and oligosaccharyltransferases (OSTs) of protein N-glycosylation, and of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis and transfer to protein. However, some components are missing, and they process and decorate their N-glycans and GPI anchors in unique ways. To do so, they appear to have evolved a distinct and functionally flexible glycosyltransferases (GT) family, the GT67 family, from an ancestral eukaryotic β3GT gene. The expansion and/or loss of GT67 genes appears to be dependent on parasite biology. Some appear to correlate with the obligate passage of parasites through an insect vector, suggesting they were acquired through GT67 gene expansion to assist insect vector (tsetse fly) colonisation. Others appear to have been lost in species that subsequently adopted contaminative transmission. We also highlight the recent discovery of a novel and essential GT11 family of kinetoplastid parasite fucosyltransferases that are uniquely localised to the mitochondria of Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania major. The origins of these kinetoplastid FUT1 genes, and additional putative mitochondrial GT genes, are discussed.

ABSTRACT Fap1, a serine-rich glycoprotein, is essential for fimbrial biogenesis and biofilm formation of Streptococcus parasanguinis (formerly S. parasanguis). Fap1-like proteins are conserved in many streptococci and staphylococci and have been implicated in bacterial virulence. Fap1 contains two serine-rich repeat regions that are modified by O-linked glycosylation. A seven-gene cluster has been identified, and this cluster is implicated in Fap1 biogenesis. In this study, we investigated the initial step of Fap1 glycosylation by using a recombinant Fap1 as a model. This recombinant molecule has the same monosaccharide composition profile as the native Fap1 protein. Glycosyl linkage analyses indicated that N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is among the first group of sugar residues transferred to the Fap1 peptide. Two putative glycosyltransferases, Gtf1 and Gtf2, were essential for the glycosylation of Fap1 with GlcNAc-containing oligosaccharide(s) in both S. parasanguinis as well as in the Fap1 glycosylation system in Escherichia coli. Yeast two-hybrid analysis as well as in vitro and in vivo glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays demonstrated the two putative glycosyltransferases interacted with each other. The interaction domain was mapped to an N-terminal region of Gtf1 that was required for the Fap1 glycosylation. The data in this study suggested that the formation of the Gtf1 and Gtf2 complex was required for the initiation of the Fap1 glycosylation and that the N-terminal region of Gtf1 was necessary.

Glycosyltransferase 6 gene family includes ABO, Ggta1, iGb3S, and GBGT1 genes and by three putative genes restricted to mammals, GT6m6, GTm6, and GT6m7, only the latter is found in primates. GT6 genes may encode functional and nonfunctional proteins. Ggta1 and GBGT1 genes, for instance, are pseudogenes in catarrhine primates, while iGb3S gene is only inactive in human, bonobo, and chimpanzee. Even inactivated, these genes tend to be conversed in primates. As some of the GT6 genes are related to the susceptibility or resistance to parasites, we investigated (i) the selective pressure on the GT6 paralogs genes in primates; (ii) the basis of the conservation of iGb3S in human, chimpanzee, and bonobo; and (iii) the functional potential of the GBGT1 and GT6m7 in catarrhines. We observed that the purifying selection is prevalent and these genes have a low diversity, though ABO and Ggta1 genes have some sites under positive selection. GT6m7, a putative gene associated with aggressive periodontitis, may have regulatory function, but experimental studies are needed to assess its function. The evolutionary conservation of iGb3S in humans, chimpanzee, and bonobo seems to be the result of proximity to genes with important biological functions.

ABSTRACT The glycosyltransferase (GT) module of class A penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and monofunctional GTs (MGTs) belong to the GT51 family in the sequence-based classification of GTs. They both possess five conserved motifs and use lipid II precursor (undecaprenyl-pyrophosphate-N-acetylglucosaminyl-N-acetylmuramoyl- pentapeptide) to synthesize the glycan chain of the bacterial wall peptidoglycan. MGTs appear to be dispensable for growth of some bacteria in vitro. However, new evidence shows that they may be essential for the infection process and development of pathogenic bacteria in their hosts. Only a small number of class A PBPs have been characterized so far, and no kinetic data are available on MGTs. In this study, we present the principal enzymatic properties of the Staphylococcus aureus MGT. The enzyme catalyzes glycan chain polymerization with an efficiency of ∼5,800 M−1 s−1 and has a pH optimum of 7.5, and its activity requires metal ions with a maximum observed in the presence of Mn2+. The properties of S. aureus MGT are distinct from those of S. aureus PBP2 and Escherichia coli MGT, but they are similar to those of E. coli PBP1b. We examined the role of the conserved Glu100 of S. aureus MGT (equivalent to the proposed catalytic Glu233 of E. coli PBP1b) by site-directed mutagenesis. The Glu100Gln mutation results in a drastic loss of GT activity. This shows that Glu100 is also critical for catalysis in S. aureus MGT and confirms that the conserved glutamate of the first motif EDXXFXX(H/N)X(G/A) is likely the key catalytic residue in the GT51 active site.

Bacillus subtilis ATCC (American type culture collection) 6633 was found to biotransform ganoderic acid A (GAA), which is a major lanostane triterpenoid from the medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum. Five glycosyltransferase family 1 (GT1) genes of this bacterium, including two uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) genes, BsUGT398 and BsUGT489, were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography confirmed the two purified UGT proteins biotransform ganoderic acid A into a metabolite, while the other three purified GT1 proteins cannot biotransform GAA. The optimal enzyme activities of BsUGT398 and BsUGT489 were at pH 8.0 with 10 mM of magnesium or calcium ion. In addition, no candidates showed biotransformation activity toward antcin K, which is a major ergostane triterpenoid from the fruiting bodies of Antrodia cinnamomea. One biotransformed metabolite from each BsUGT enzyme was then isolated with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. The isolated metabolite from each BsUGT was identified as ganoderic acid A-15-O-β-glucoside by mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The two BsUGTs in the present study are the first identified enzymes that catalyze the 15-O-glycosylation of triterpenoids.

ABSTRACT Glycopeptidolipids (GPLs) are major components present on the outer layers of the cell walls of several nontuberculous mycobacteria. GPLs are antigenic molecules and have variant oligosaccharides in mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium avium. In this study, we identified four genes (gtf1, gtf2, gtf3, and gtf4) in the genome of Mycobacterium smegmatis. These genes were independently inactivated by homologous recombination in M. smegmatis, and the structures of GPLs from each gene disruptant were analyzed. Thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry analyses revealed that the mutants Δgtf1 and Δgtf2 accumulated the fatty acyl-tetrapeptide core having O-methyl-rhamnose and 6-deoxy-talose as sugar residues, respectively. The mutant Δgtf4 possessed the same GPLs as the wild type, whereas the mutant Δgtf3 lacked two minor GPLs, consisting of 3-O-methyl-rhamnose attached to O-methyl-rhamnose of the fatty acyl-tetrapeptide core. These results indicate that the gtf1 and gtf2 genes are responsible for the early glycosylation steps of GPL biosynthesis and the gtf3 gene is involved in transferring a rhamnose residue not to 6-deoxy-talose but to an O-methyl-rhamnose residue. Moreover, a complementation experiment showed that M. avium gtfA and gtfB, which are deduced glycosyltransferase genes of GPL biosynthesis, restore complete GPL production in the mutants Δgtf1 and Δgtf2, respectively. Our findings propose that both M. smegmatis and M. avium have the common glycosylation pathway in the early steps of GPL biosynthesis but differ at the later stages.

ABSTRACT Adhesion of Streptococcus parasanguinis to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite (SHA), an in vitro tooth model, is mediated by long peritrichous fimbriae. Fap1, a fimbria-associated serine-rich glycoprotein, is required for fimbrial assembly. Biogenesis of Fap1 is controlled by an 11-gene cluster that contains gly, nss, galT1 and -2, secY2, gap1 to -3, secA2, and gtf1 and -2. We had previously isolated a collection of nine nonadherent mutants using random chemical mutagenesis approaches. These mutants fail to adhere to the in vitro tooth model and to form fimbriae. In this report, we further characterized these randomly selected nonadherent mutants and classified them into three distinct groups. Two groups of genes were previously implicated in Fap1 biogenesis. One group has a mutation in a glycosyltransferase gene, gtf1, that is essential for the first step of Fap1 glycosylation, whereas the other group has defects in the fap1 structural gene. The third group mutant produces an incompletely glycosylated Fap1 and exhibits a mutant phenotype similar to that of a glycosylation-associated protein 1 (Gap1) mutant. Analysis of this new mutant revealed that a conserved C-terminal 13-amino-acid motif was missing in Gap1. Site-directed mutagenesis of a highly conserved amino acid tryptophan within this motif recapitulated the deletion phenotype, demonstrating the importance of the Gap1 C-terminal motif for Fap1 biogenesis. Furthermore, the C-terminal mutation does not affect Gap1-Gap3 protein-protein interaction, which has been shown to mediate Fap1 glycosylation, suggesting the C-terminal motif has a distinct function related to Fap1 biogenesis.

Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is one of the major pathogens of sugarcane. SCMV infection causes dynamic changes in plant cells, including decreased photosynthetic rate, respiration, and sugar metabolism. To understand the basics of pathogenicity mechanism, we performed transcriptome and proteomics analysis in two sugarcane genotypes (Badila: susceptible to SCMV and B-48: SCMV resistant). Using Saccharum spontaneum L. genome as a reference, we identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) that participate in sugar metabolism, transport of their metabolites, and Carbohydrate Activating enZYmes (CAZymes). Sequencing data revealed 287 DEGs directly or indirectly involved in sugar metabolism, transport, and storage, while 323 DEGs are associated with CAZymes. Significant upregulation of glucose, sucrose, fructose, starch, and SWEET-related transcripts was observed in the Badila after infection of SCMV. B-48 showed resistance against SCMV with a limited number of sugar transcripts up-regulation at the post-infection stage. For CAZymes, only glycosyltransferase (GT)1 and glycosyl hydrolase (GH)17 were upregulated in B-48. Regulation of DEGs was analyzed at the proteomics level as well. Starch, fructose, glucose, GT1, and GH17 transcripts were expressed at the post-translational level. We verified our transcriptomic results with proteomics and qPCR data. Comprehensively, this study proved that Badila upregulated sugar metabolizing and transporting transcripts and proteins, which enhance virus multiplication and infectionl.

Abstract The formation of β1,3-linkages on animal glycoconjugates is catalyzed by a subset of β1,3-glycosyltransferases grouped in the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes family glycosyltransferase-31 (GT31). This family represents an extremely diverse set of β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases [B3GNTs and Fringe β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases], β1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (B3GALNTs), β1,3-galactosyltransferases [B3GALTs and core 1 β1,3-galactosyltransferases (C1GALTs)], β1,3-glucosyltransferase (B3GLCT) and β1,3-glucuronyl acid transferases (B3GLCATs or CHs). The mammalian enzymes were particularly well studied and shown to use a large variety of sugar donors and acceptor substrates leading to the formation of β1,3-linkages in various glycosylation pathways. In contrast, there are only a few studies related to other metazoan and lower vertebrates GT31 enzymes and the evolutionary relationships of these divergent sequences remain obscure. In this study, we used bioinformatics approaches to identify more than 920 of putative GT31 sequences in Metazoa, Fungi and Choanoflagellata revealing their deep ancestry. Sequence-based analysis shed light on conserved motifs and structural features that are signatures of all the GT31. We leverage pieces of evidence from gene structure, phylogenetic and sequence-based analyses to identify two major subgroups of GT31 named Fringe-related and B3GALT-related and demonstrate the existence of 10 orthologue groups in the Urmetazoa, the hypothetical last common ancestor of all animals. Finally, synteny and paralogy analysis unveiled the existence of 30 subfamilies in vertebrates, among which 5 are new and were named C1GALT2, C1GALT3, B3GALT8, B3GNT10 and B3GNT11. Altogether, these various approaches enabled us to propose the first comprehensive analysis of the metazoan GT31 disentangling their evolutionary relationships.

Poly-N-acetyl-lactosamine (poly-LacNAc) structures are composed of repeating [-Galβ(1,4)-GlcNAcβ(1,3)-]n glycan extensions. They are found on both N- and O-glycoproteins and glycolipids, and play an important role in development, immune function, and human disease. The majority of mammalian poly-LacNAc is synthesized by the alternating iterative action of β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 (B3GNT2) and β1,4-galactosyltransferases. B3GNT2 is in the largest mammalian glycosyltransferase family, GT31, but little is known about the structure, substrate recognition, or catalysis by family members. Here we report the structures of human B3GNT2 in complex with UDP:Mg2+, and in complex with both UDP:Mg2+ and a glycan acceptor, lacto-N-neotetraose. The B3GNT2 structure conserves the GT-A fold and the DxD motif that coordinates a Mg2+ ion for binding the UDP-GlcNAc sugar donor. The acceptor complex shows interactions with only the terminal Galβ(1,4)-GlcNAcβ(1,3)- disaccharide unit, which likely explains the specificity for both N- and O-glycan acceptors. Modeling of the UDP-GlcNAc donor supports a direct displacement inverting catalytic mechanism. Comparative structural analysis indicates that nucleotide sugar donors for GT-A fold glycosyltransferases bind in similar positions and conformations without conserving interacting residues, even for enzymes that use the same donor substrate. In contrast, the B3GNT2 acceptor binding site is consistent with prior models suggesting that the evolution of acceptor specificity involves loops inserted into the stable GT-A fold. These observations support the hypothesis that GT-A fold glycosyltransferases employ co-evolving donor, acceptor, and catalytic subsite modules as templates to achieve the complex diversity of glycan linkages in biological systems.

AbstractArabidopsis glycosyltransferase family 41 (GT41) protein SPINDLY (SPY) plays pleiotropic roles in plant development. Despite the amino acid sequence is similar to human O-GlcNAc transferase, Arabidopsis SPY has been identified as a novel nucleocytoplasmic protein O-fucosyltransferase. SPY-like proteins extensively exist in diverse organisms, indicating that O-fucosylation by SPY is a common way to regulate intracellular protein functions. However, the details of how SPY recognizes and glycosylates substrates are unknown. Here, we present a crystal structure of Arabidopsis SPY/GDP complex at 2.85 Å resolution. SPY adopts a head-to-tail dimer. Strikingly, the conformation of a ‘catalytic SPY’/GDP/‘substrate SPY’ complex formed by two symmetry-related SPY dimers is captured in the crystal lattice. The structure together with mutagenesis and enzymatic data demonstrate SPY can fucosylate itself and SPY’s self-fucosylation region negatively regulates its enzyme activity, reveal SPY’s substrate recognition and enzyme mechanism, and provide insights into the glycan donor substrate selection in GT41 proteins.

Glycosylation reactions are essential but challenging from a conventional chemistry standpoint. Conversely, they are biotechnologically feasible as glycosyltransferases can transfer sugar to an acceptor with perfect regio- and stereo-selectivity, quantitative yields, in a single reaction and under mild conditions. Low stability is often alleged to be a limitation to the biotechnological application of glycosyltransferases. Here we show that these enzymes are not necessarily intrinsically unstable, but that they present both dilution-induced inactivation and low chemostability towards their own acceptor substrates, and that these two phenomena are synergistic. We assessed 18 distinct GT1 enzymes against three unrelated acceptors (apigenin, resveratrol, and scopoletin—respectively a flavone, a stilbene, and a coumarin), resulting in a total of 54 enzymes: substrate pairs. For each pair, we varied catalyst and acceptor concentrations to obtain 16 different reaction conditions. Fifteen of the assayed enzymes (83%) displayed both low chemostability against at least one of the assayed acceptors at submillimolar concentrations, and dilution-induced inactivation. Furthermore, sensitivity to reaction conditions seems to be related to the thermal stability of the enzymes, the three unaffected enzymes having melting temperatures above 55°C, whereas the full enzyme panel ranged from 37.4 to 61.7°C. These results are important for GT1 understanding and engineering, as well as for discovery efforts and biotechnological use.

AbstractGlycosyltransferases (GTs) play fundamental roles in nearly all cellular processes through the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates and glycosylation of diverse protein and small molecule substrates. The extensive structural and functional diversification of GTs presents a major challenge in mapping the relationships connecting sequence, structure, fold and function using traditional bioinformatics approaches. Here, we present a convolutional neural network with attention (CNN-attention) based deep learning model that leverages simple secondary structure representations generated from primary sequences to provide GT fold prediction with high accuracy. The model learns distinguishing secondary structure features free of primary sequence alignment constraints and is highly interpretable. It delineates sequence and structural features characteristic of individual fold types, while classifying them into distinct clusters that group evolutionarily divergent families based on shared secondary structural features. We further extend our model to classify GT families of unknown folds and variants of known folds. By identifying families that are likely to adopt novel folds such as GT91, GT96 and GT97, our studies expand the GT fold landscape and prioritize targets for future structural studies.

Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are members of the hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) superfamily, a group of highly diverse proteoglycans that are present in the cell wall, plasma membrane as well as secretions of almost all plants, with important roles in many developmental processes. The role of GALT8 (At1g22015), a Glycosyltransferase-31 (GT31) family member of the Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme database (CAZy), was examined by biochemical characterization and phenotypic analysis of a galt8 mutant line. To characterize its catalytic function, GALT8 was heterologously expressed in tobacco leaves and its enzymatic activity tested. GALT8 was shown to be a β-(1,3)-galactosyltransferase (GalT) that catalyzes the synthesis of a β-(1,3)-galactan, similar to the in vitro activity of KNS4/UPEX1 (At1g33430), a homologous GT31 member previously shown to have this activity. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) confirmed the products were of 2-6 degree of polymerisation (DP). Previous reporter studies showed that GALT8 is expressed in the central and synergid cells, from whence the micropylar endosperm originates after the fertilization of the central cell of the ovule. Homozygous mutants have multiple seedling phenotypes including significantly shorter hypocotyls and smaller leaf area compared to wild type (WT) that are attributable to defects in female gametophyte and/or endosperm development. KNS4/UPEX1 was shown to partially complement the galt8 mutant phenotypes in genetic complementation assays suggesting a similar but not identical role compared to GALT8 in β-(1,3)-galactan biosynthesis. Taken together, these data add further evidence of the important roles GT31 β-(1,3)-GalTs play in elaborating type II AGs that decorate AGPs and pectins, thereby imparting functional consequences on plant growth and development.
