Lysosome membrane glycoproteins, lamp-1 and lamp-2, have been shown to contain 18 and 16 N-glycans, some of which are modified by poly-N-acetyl-lactosamine. We have localized the polylactosaminoglycans to specific sites on lamp-1 and lamp-2 purified from human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. Polylactosaminoglycan-containing glycopeptides, obtained by trypsin, pepsin, and V8 protease digestion of the glycoproteins, were isolated by Datura stramonium agglutinin affinity chromatography, gel filtration, and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl structures of isolated glycopeptides were confirmed by the susceptibility of their released oligosaccharides to endo-beta-galactosidase. Amino acid analysis and sequencing demonstrated that polylactosaminoglycans were located at Asn-34, Asn-93 and/or Asn-102, and Asn-195 and/or Asn-200 in lamp-1, and at Asn-4 and/or Asn-10, and Asn-279 in lamp-2. These results indicated that only certain glycosylation sites can be selectively modified by poly-N-acetyllactosamine, and those sites may confer the requirement by beta 1----3-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase.

Six monoclonal antibodies with known specificities for the carbohydrate antigens i, X or Y, and seven anti-myeloid antibodies (determinants unknown) selected for their differing reaction patterns with human leucocytes were tested in chromatogram binding assays for reactions with myeloid cell glycolipids derived from normal human granulocytes and chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. Antigenicities were found exclusively on minor glycolipids which were barely or not at all detectable with orcinol-sulphuric acid stain. Among these, a neutral glycosphingolipid bound the anti-i antibody Den and chromatographed as the ceramide octasaccharide, Gal beta 1----4GlcNac beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4GlcNac beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4Glc-Cer. Several species of neutral glycosphingolipids with six to more than ten monosaccharides were detected which carry the X antigen and others the Y antigen: Gal beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc and Fuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc, respectively. In addition, three new types of carbohydrate specificities were detected among the myeloid cell glycolipids. Two were associated with neutral glycolipids: the first, recognised by anti-myeloid antibodies VIM-1 and VIM-10, was expressed on a distinct set of glycolipids with six or more monosaccharides, and the second, recognized by VIM-8, was expressed on glycolipids with more than ten monosaccharides. The third specificity, recognised by the anti-myeloid antibody VIM-2, was expressed on slow migrating sialoglycolipids with backbone structures of the poly-N-acetyllactosamine type that are susceptible to degradation with endo-beta-galactosidase. Thus, we conclude that the i and Y antigens occur among the glycolipids of normal myeloid and chronic myelogenous leukemia cells and that a high proportion of hybridoma antibodies raised against differentiation antigens of myeloid cells are directed at carbohydrate structures.

Particulate membrane preparations from K-562 [human CML (chronic-myelogenous-leukaemia)-derived] cells catalyse the transfer of [3H]galactose from UDP-[3H]-galactose and [3H]N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-[3H]N-acetylglucosamine into an endogenous product that on digestion with Pronase yields long-chain glycopeptides (mol.wt. 7000--10 000) called 'erythroglycan'. Incorporation of either labelled sugar increased up to 60 min of incubation time. The labelled erythroglycan was isolated by chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and characterized by digestion with endo-beta-galactosidase from Escherichia freundii, followed by analysis on Bio-Gel P-2 and paper chromatography. This digestion gave the following four products: (1) a disaccharide with the sequence beta GlcNAc-beta Gal; (2) a trisaccharide with the sequence betaGal-betaGlcNAc-beta Gal; (3) a larger oligosaccharide containing galactose and N-acetylglucosamine; and (4) a putative protein-linkage region.
