Binding of pertussis toxin (PTx) was examined by a glycan microarray; 53 positive hits fell into four general groups. One group represents sialylated biantennary compounds with an N-glycan core terminating in α2−6-linked sialic acid. The second group consists of multiantennary compounds with a canonical N-glycan core, but lacking terminal sialic acids, which represents a departure from the previous understanding of PTx binding to N-glycans. The third group consists of Neu5Acα2−3(lactose orN-acetyllactosamine) forms that lack the branched mannose core found in N-glycans; thus, their presentation is more similar to that of O-linked glycans and glycolipids. The fourth group of compounds consists of Neu5Acα2−8Neu5Acα2−8Neu5Ac, which is seen in the c series gangliosides and some N-glycans. Quantitative analysis by surface plasmon resonance of the relative affinities of PTx for terminal Neu5Acα2−3 versus Neu5Acα2−6, as well as the affinities for the trisaccharide Neu5Acα2−8Neu5Acα2−8Neu5Ac versus disaccharide, revealed identical global affinities, even though the amount of bound glycan varied by 4−5-fold. These studies suggest that the conformational space occupied by a glycan can play an important role in binding, independent of affinity. Characterization of N-terminal and C-terminal binding sites on the S2 and S3 subunits by mutational analysis revealed that binding to all sialylated compounds was mediated by the C-terminal binding sites, and binding to nonsialylated N-linked glycans is mediated by the N-terminal sites present on both the S2 and S3 subunits. A detailed understanding of the glycans recognized by pertussis toxin is essential to understanding which cells are targeted in clinical disease.
