Human lung tumor alpha1,3/4-L-fucosyltransferase (FT) was purified (2000-fold, 29% recovery) from 290 g of tissue by including a chromatography step on Affinity Gel-GDP. Two molecular forms (FTA, larger size carrying 15% alpha1,4-FT activity; FTB, the major form with 85% activity) were separated by further fractionation on a Sephacryl S-100 HR column. A difference in the electrophoretic mobilities of these two activities was also found on native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Both forms were devoid of typical alpha1,2-fucosylating activity but were associated with the novel alpha1,2-fucosylating ability of converting the Lewis a determinant to Lewis b. Based on percentage activity toward 2-O-MeCal beta1,3GlcNAc beta -O-Bn, broth forms exhibited the same extent of activity toward various accepters, which included sulfated, sialylated, or methylated LacNAc type 1 or type 2 as well as mucin core 2 accepters. However, FTA and FTB exhibited a difference in their ability to act on mucin core 2 3'-sialyl LacNAc (activities 24.2% and 40.8%, respectively, as compared to 2-O-MeGal beta1,3GlcNAc beta -O-Bn). The unsubstituted LacNAc type 1 accepters were 15-20 times as active as the corresponding LacNAc type 2 accepters. The 3-O-substitution on the beta1,4-linked Gal (methyl, sulfate, or sialyl) in mucin core 2 accepters increased the efficiency of these accepters five- to eightfold. The most efficient acceptor for FTA and FTB was 3-O-sulfoGal beta1,3GlcNAc beta -O-Al (K-m 100 and 47 muM, respectively). The K-m (mM) values for 2-O-methyl Gal beta1,3GlcNAc beta -O-Bn and 3-O-sialyl Gal beta1,3GlcNAc beta -O-Bn were 0.40 and 2.5 (FTA) and 0.16 and 0.67 (FTB), respectively.The 35-kDa glycoprotein ancrod (from Malayan pit viper venom) containing 36% complex N-glycans with the antennae NeuAc alpha2,3Gal beta1,3GlcNAc beta- acted as the best macromolecular acceptor substrate (K-m: 45 muM), as examined with FTB. On desialylation the acceptor efficiency dropped to similar to 50% (K-m for asialo ancrod: 167 muM). Sialylglyco-proteins, such as carcinoembryonic antigen, fetuin, and bovine alpha1-acid glycoprotein, were better accepters than asialo fetuin, On the contrary, fetuin triantennary glycopeptide containing predominantly NeuAc alpha2,3Gal beta1,4GlcNAc beta- was only 55 % active as compared to the asialo glycopeptide (K-m: 1.43 and 0.63 mM, respectively). Thus, the human lung tumor alpha1,3/4-L-FT has the potential to generate clustered sialyl Lewis a and Lewis b determinants in N-glycans and sialyl Lewis x determinant in mucin core 2 structures.
