Core-type protein O glycosylation is initiated by pollypeptide N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) transferase (ppGalNAcT) activity and produces the covalent linkage of serine and threonine residues of proteins. More than a dozen ppGalNAcTs operate within multicellular organisms, and they differ with respect to expression patterns and substrate selectivity. These distinctive features imply that each ppGalNAcT may differentially modulate regulatory processes in animal development, physiology, and perhaps disease. We found that ppGalNAcT-1 plays key roles in cell and glycoprotein selective functions that modulate the hematopoietic system. Loss of ppGalNAcT-1 activity in the mouse results in a bleeding disorder which tracks with reduced plasma levels of blood coagulation factors V, VII, VIII, IX, X, and XII. ppGalNAcT-1 further supports leukocyte trafficking and residency in normal homeostatic physiology as well as during inflammatory responses, in part by providing a scaffold for the synthesis of sellectin ligands expressed by neutrophils and endothellial cells of peripheral lymph nodes. Animals lacking ppGalNAcT4 are also markedly impaired in immunoglobulin G production, coincident with increased germinal center B-cell apoptosis and reduced levels of plasma B cells. These findings reveal that the initiation of protein 0 glycosylation by ppGalNAcT-1 provides a distinctive repertoire of advantageous functions that support vascular responses and humoral immunity.
