PG - 24838-48 AB - P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is a dimeric membrane mucin on leukocytes that binds selectins. The molecular features of PSGL-1 that determine this high affinity binding are unclear. Here we demonstrate the in vitro synthesis of a novel glycosulfopeptide (GSP-6) modeled after the extreme N terminus of PSGL-1, which has been predicted to be important for P-selectin binding. GSP-6 contains three tyrosine sulfate (TyrSO(3)) residues and a monosialylated, core 2-based O-glycan with a sialyl Lewis x (C2-O-sLe(x)) motif at a specific Thr residue. GSP-6 binds tightly to immobilized P-selectin, whereas glycopeptides lacking either TyrSO(3) or C2-O-sLe(x) do not detectably bind. Remarkably, an isomeric glycosulfopeptide to GSP-6, termed GSP-6', which contains sLe(x) on an extended core 1-based O-glycan, does not bind immobilized P-selectin. Equilibrium gel filtration analysis revealed that GSP-6 binds to soluble P-selectin with a K(d) of approximately 350 nM. GSP-6 (<5 microM) substantially inhibits neutrophil adhesion to P-selectin in vitro, whereas free sLe(x) (5 mM) only slightly inhibits adhesion. In contrast to the inherent heterogeneity of post-translational modifications of recombinant proteins, glycosulfopeptides permit the placement of sulfate groups and glycans of precise structure at defined positions on a polypeptide. This approach should expedite the probing of structure-function relationships in sulfated and glycosylated proteins, and may facilitate development of novel drugs to treat inflammatory diseases involving P-selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion.
