β1,4 Galactosyltransferase-I (GalT-I) is expressed as two nearly identical polypeptides that differ only in the length of their cytoplasmic domains. The longer isoform has been implicated as a cell surface receptor for extracellular glycoside ligands, such as laminin. To more stringently test the function of the long GalT-I isoform during cell interactions with laminin, we created multiple independent fibroblastic cell lines that fail to express the long isoform, but which express the short GalT-I isoform normally and appear to have normal intracellular galactosylation. Cells devoid of the long GalT-I isoform are unable to adhere and spread on laminin substrates as well as control cells, but retain near normal interactions with fibronectin, which do not rely upon surface GalT-I function. The loss of the long GalT-I isoform also leads to a loss of actin stress fibers, focal adhesions and rac GTPase activation.
