Human erythroleukemic (HEL) cells contain high activity for GDP-L-Fuc-N-acetyl-fl-D-glucosaminide al~ 3fucosyltransferase, although Fucal~ 3GlcNAc residues are not found on the glycoproteins of HEL cells. To investigate these disparate results it was reasoned that differentiation of HEL ceils may bring about glycosylation changes in the membrane glycoproteins. Treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) differentiates the HEL cells including the ability to adhere within a few hours whereas they normally grow in suspension culture. HEL cells were treated with 0.1/aM PMA, labeled with L-[3H] fucose for two days as adherent cells and harvested. In contrast to HEL cells non PMA-treated, the glycopeptides derived from the PMA-treated cells contained a small amount of Fucal~ 3GlcNAc residues as detected with almond al~ 3 (4) fucosidase. At the same time, t~ l~ 3fucosyltransferase activity in the cell extracts was similar with or without treatment. Therefore it is not the activity of al~ 3fucosyltransferase per se which controls the cell surface expression of Fucal 3GlcNAc. A study of the requirements of al~ 3fucosyltransferase to fucosylate glycoproteins in HEL cells may provide information regarding the activation of ligands for Selectins as well as relate to the ability of other types of cells to form solid tumors at distal sites.
