TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: N-glycosylation influences the structure and self-association abilities of recombinant nucleolin

Nucleolin is a major nucleolar protein involved in fundamental processes of ribosome biogenesis, regulation of cell proliferation and growth. Nucleolin is known to shuttle between nucleus, cytoplasm and cell surface. We have pre-viously found that nucleolin undergoes complex N- and O-glycosylations in extra-nuclear isoforms. | IFEBS Journal N-glycosylation influences the structure and self-association abilities of recombinant nucleolin Marie-Estelle Losfeld1 2 3 Arnaud Leroy1 2 3 4 Bernadette Coddeville1 2 3 Mathieu Carpentier1 2 3 Joel Mazurier1 2 3 and Dominique Legrand1 2 3 1 Univ Lille Nord de France Lille France 2 USTL UGSF Villeneuve d Ascq France 3 CNRS UMR Villeneuve d Ascq France 4 EA 4529 Laboratoire de Biochimie appliquee Faculte de Pharmacie Universite Paris XI Chatenay-Malabry France Keywords glycans glycosylation intermolecular interactions nucleolin Correspondence D.

Nucleolin is known to shuttle between nucleus cytoplasm and cell surface. We have previously found that nucleolin undergoes complex N- and O-glycosylations in extra-nuclear isoforms. We found that surface nucleolin is exclusively glycosylated and that N-glycosylation is required for its expression on the cells. Interestingly the two N-glycans are located in the RNA-binding domains RBDs which participate in the self-association properties of nucleolin. We hypothesized that the occupancy of RBDs by N-glycans plays a role in these self-association properties. Here owing to the inability to quantitatively produce full-size nucleolin we expressed four N-glycosylation nucleolin variants lacking the N-terminal acidic domain in a baculovirus insect cell system. As assessed by heptafluorobutyrate derivatization and mass spectrometry this strategy allowed the production of proteins bearing or not paucimannosidic-type glycans on either one .
