- Two glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage tetrasaccharide-serine compounds, GlcA beta 1-3Gal beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Xyl beta 1-O-Ser and GlcA beta 1-3Gal(4-O-sulfate)beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Xyl beta 1-O-Ser, were tested as hexosamine accepters, using UDP-[H-3]GlcNAc and UDP-[H-3]GalNAc as sugar donors, and solubilized mouse mastocytoma microsomes as enzyme source. The nonsulfated Ser-tetrasaccharide was found to function as an acceptor for a GalNAc residue, whereas the Ser-tetrasaccharide containing a sulfated galactose unit was inactive. Characterization of the radio-labelled product by digestion with alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase revealed that the [H-3]GalNAc unit was alpha-linked, as in the product previously synthesized using serum enzymes, and not beta-linked as found in the chondroitin sulfate polymer. Heparan sulfate/heparin biosynthesis could not be primed by either of the two linkage Ser-tetrasaccharides, since no transfer of [H-3]GlcNAc from UDP-[H-3]GlcNAc could be detected. By contrast, transfer of a [H-3]GlcNAc unit to a [GlcA beta 1-4GlcNAca1-4](2)-GlcA beta 1-4-aMan hexasaccharide acceptor used to assay the GlcNAc transferase involved in chain elongation, was readily detected. These results are in agreement with the recent proposal that two different N-acetylglucosaminyl transferases catalyse the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate. Although the mastocytoma system contains both the heparan sulfate/heparin and chondroitin sulfate biosynthetic enzymes the Ser-tetrasaccharides do not seem to fulfil the requirements to serve as accepters for the first HexNAc transfer reactions involved in the formation of these polysaccharides.
