Siglecs are a family of sialic acid-binding receptors expressed by immune cells, which exhibit distinct binding preferences for sialylated GalNAc-type O-glycans presented on different protein sequences. Sulfotransferases can influence Siglec-sialoglycan interactions and impact the binding preferences for O-glycan patterns, highlighting a potential link between Siglec-3 binding epitope and late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The study of human sialome in cell-based display provides a versatile platform for dissecting the genetic and biosynthetic basis of the Siglec glycan interactome and other sialic acid-binding proteins.
Siglecs are a family of sialic acid-binding receptors expressed by cells of the immune system and a few other cell types capable of modulating immune cell functions upon recognition of sialoglycan ligands. While human Siglecs primarily bind to sialic acid residues on diverse types of glycoproteins and glycolipids that constitute the sialome, their fine binding specificities for elaborated complex glycan structures and the contribution of the glycoconjugate and protein context for recognition of sialoglycans at the cell surface are not fully elucidated. Here, we generated a library of isogenic human HEK293 cells with combinatorial loss/gain of individual sialyltransferase genes and the introduction of sulfotransferases for display of the human sialome and to dissect Siglec interactions in the natural context of glycoconjugates at the cell surface. We found that Siglec-4/7/15 all have distinct binding preferences for sialylated GalNAc-type O-glycans but exhibit selectivity for patterns of O-glycans as presented on distinct protein sequences. We discovered that the sulfotransferase CHST1 drives sialoglycan binding of Siglec-3/8/7/15 and that sulfation can impact the preferences for binding to O-glycan patterns. In particular, the branched Neu5Ac alpha 2-3(6-O-sulfo)Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc (6'-Su-SLacNAc) epitope was discovered as the binding epitope for Siglec-3 (CD33) implicated in late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The cell-based display of the human sialome provides a versatile discovery platform that enables dissection of the genetic and biosynthetic basis for the Siglec glycan interactome and other sialic acid-binding proteins.
