The respiratory and intestinal tracts are exposed to physical and biological hazards accompanying the intake of air and food. Likewise, the vasculature is threatened by inflammation and trauma. Mucin glycoproteins and the related von Willebrand factor guard the vulnerable cell layers in these diverse systems. Colon mucins additionally house and feed the gut microbiome. Here, we present an integrated structural analysis of the intestinal mucin MUC2. Our findings reveal the shared mechanism by which complex macromolecules responsible for blood clotting, mucociliary clearance, and the intestinal mucosal barrier form protective polymers and hydrogels. Specifically, cryo-electron microscopy and crystal structures show how disulfide-rich bridges and pH-tunable interfaces control successive assembly steps in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Remarkably, a densely O-glycosylated mucin domain performs an organizational role in MUC2. The mucin assembly mechanism and its adaptation for hemostasis provide the foundation for rational manipulation of barrier function and coagulation. Mucin glycoprotein supramolecular assembly at Golgi pH promotes polymer formation O-glycosylated regions help orchestrate mucin assembly CysD domains have a novel fold, calcium binding motifs, and a role in mucin assembly Mucins and von Willebrand factor share a mechanism to form linear polymers Javitt et al. describe molecularly how mucin glycoproteins and von Willebrand factor—complex macromolecules responsible for mucociliary clearance in the lung, the intestinal mucosal barrier, and blood clotting—use a shared mechanism to form polymers and hydrogels that protect the respiratory tract, intestinal tract, and vasculature.
