Polysialic acid (PSA) is a polymer of N-acetylneuraminic acid residues added post-translationally to the membrane-bound neural cell adhesion molecule ( NCAM). The large excluded volume created by PSA polymer is thought to facilitate cell migration by decreasing cell adhesion. Here we used live cell imaging ( spot fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy) combined with biochemical approaches in an attempt to uncover a link between cell motility and the impact of polysialylation on NCAM dynamics. We show that PSA regulates specifically NCAM lateral diffusion and this is dependent on the integrity of the cytoskeleton. However, whereas the glial-derivative neurotrophic factor chemotactic effect is dependent on PSA, the molecular dynamics of PSANCAM is not directly affected by glial-derivative neurotrophic factor. These findings reveal a new intrinsic mechanism by which polysialylation regulates NCAM dynamics and thereby a biological function like cell migration.
