摘要
The fifth type GalNAc alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase (mST6GalNAc V) was cloned from a mouse brain cDNA library. mST6GalNAc V exhibited type II transmembrane topology containing a polyglutamine repeat, which showed 42.6% and 44.8% identity to mouse ST6GalNAc III and IV, respectively. Northern blot analysis revealed that the mST6GalNAc V gene was specifically expressed in forebrain and cerebellum. mST6GalNAc V exhibited GD1 alpha synthetic activity from GM1b the same as mST6GalNAc III and IV. The activity ratio of GM1b toward fetuin and the expression pattern were completely different among the three ST6GalNAcs, Interestingly, the polyglutamine repeat number was different from that of inbred mice, We report the first glycosyltransferase with a polymorphic polyglutamine repeat.
