Poly-N-acetyllactosamine extension has been found in O-glycans in addition to N-glycans and glycosphingolipids. Attempts were made in HL-60 and K562 cells to determine the amount of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycans in the major sialoglycoprotein, leukosialin. Leukosialin was immunoprecipitated from [3H]glucosamine-labeled HL-60 and K562 cells. Glycopeptides were prepared by Pronase digestion, and O-glycan-containing glycopeptides were isolated by affinity chromatography using Jacalin-agarose. The glycopeptides bound to Jacalin-agarose and those unbound were treated with alkaline borohydride, and the released O-glycans were fractionated by Bio-Gel P-4 filtration. Sequential glycosidase digestion of the O-glycans, with or without pretreatment by fucosidase or neuraminidase, revealed the following conclusions. 1) Leukosialin from HL-60 cells contains about 1-2 poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycan chains/molecule. 2) About 50% of these poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycans contain sialyl Le(x) termini, NeuNAc alpha 2–>3Gal beta 1–>4 (Fuc alpha 1–>3)GlcNAc beta 1–>R. The amount of sialyl Le(x) structure in leukosialin is roughly equivalent to that on cell surfaces of HL-60 cells. 3) Leukosialin from K562 cells, on the other hand, contains no detectable amount of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl O-glycans. 4) The presence of poly-N-acetyllactosamine in O-glycans is dependent on the core 2 beta 1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase. 5) Jacalin-agarose binds to sialylated small oligosaccharides such as NeuNAc alpha 2–>3Gal beta 1–>3(NeuNAc alpha 2–>6) GalNAc but not the hexasaccharide NeuNAc alpha 2–>3Gal beta 1–>3(NeuNAc alpha 2–>3Gal beta 1–>4GlcNAc beta 1–>6) GalNAc. These results indicate that the formation of polylactosaminyl O-glycans and sialyl Le(x) structure in O-glycans is dependent on the core 2 formation.
