Abstract

Tyrosine sulfate on PSGL-1, particularly at least one of residues 46, 48 and 51, functions in conjunction with sialylated and fucosylated glycans, most preferably Thr-57, to mediate high affinity binding to P-selectin. PSGL-1 O-glycans have been determined to consist of disialylated or neutral forms of the core-2 tetrasaccharide Gal.beta.1.fwdarw.4GlcNAc.beta.1.fwdarw.6(Gal.beta.1.fwdarw.3)GalNAcOH. A minority of the O-glycans are .alpha.1,3 fucosylated that occur as two major species containing the sialyl Lewis x antigen--one species is a disialylated monofucosylated glycan: Fuc.alpha.1 .dwnarw. 3 NeuAc.alpha.2.fwdarw.3Gal.beta.1.fwdarw.4GlcNAc.beta.1 .dwnarw. 6 NeuAc.alpha.2.fwdarw.3Gal.beta.1.fwdarw.3GalNAc-R, and the other is a monosialylated, trifucosylated glycan having a polylactosamine backbone: Fuc.alpha.l .dwnarw. 3 NeuAc.alpha.2.fwdarw.3Gal.beta.1.fwdarw.4GlcNAc.beta.1.fwdarw.3Gal.beta.1. fwdarw.
