L-selectin, the leukocyte selectin, mediates the carbohydrate dependent attachment of circulating leukocytes to endothelium, preceding emigration into tissues, It functions in inflammatory leukocyte trafficking and in lymphocyte homing to lymph nodes, From previous work, the binding of L-selectin to endothelial-associated glycoprotein ligands, GlyCAM-1 and CD34, requires oligosaccharide sialylation, sulfation, and probably fucosylation, We have recently identified a major capping group in GlyCAM-1 as 6' sulfated sialyl Lewis x, a novel structure which potentially satisfies all of these requirements, In the present study, we define the complete structure of beta-eliminated chains of GlyCAM-1 using metabolic radiolabeling, plant lectin binding, and glycosidase digestions in conjunction with high pH anion-exchange chromatography. The majority of the O-glycans in GlyCAM-1 contain the T-antigen, i.e. Gal beta 1-->GalNAc, which is incorporated into the core-a structure, i.e. Gal beta 1-->3[GlcNAc beta 1-->6]GalNAc or larger core structures with additional GlcNAc residues, The structures of two O-glycans, based on core-2, were determined to be:[GRAPHICS]The implications of these structures and more complex O-glycans for binding by L-selectin are discussed,
