Peracetylated N-alpha-azidoacetylmannosamine (Ac(4)ManNAz) is metabolized by cells to CMP-azidosialic acid. It has been demonstrated previously that in this way azidosialic acid-containing glycoproteins are formed that can be labeled on the cell surface by a modified Staudinger ligation. Here, we first demonstrate that the same procedure also results in the formation of azidosialic acid-containing gangliosides. Deoxymannojirimycin, an inhibitor of N-glycan processing in proteins, decreases the total cell surface labeling in Jurkat cells by similar to 25%. Inhibition of ganglioside biosynthesis with N-[5-(adamantan-1-yl-methoxy)-pentyl]1-deoxynojirimycin reduces cell surface labeling by similar to 75%. In conclusion, exposure of cells to Ac(4)ManNAz allows in vivo chemical tagging of gangliosides.
