title: Study of O-glycan sialylation in C6 cultured glioma cells: regulation of a beta-galactoside alpha 2,3 sialyltransferase activity by Ca2+/calmodulin antagonists and phosphatase inhibitors.
abstract: We have demonstrated that the alpha 2,3 sialyltransferase (alpha 2,3 ST) from C6 cultured glioma cells was inhibited in vivo by W-7 and related Ca2+/Calmodulin (Ca/CaM) antagonists while protein kinase C effectors had no effect. Dephosphorylation of alpha 2,3 ST by the wide specificity alkaline phosphatase led to inactivation indicating that the enzyme is phosphorylated. The serine/threonine protein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and Calyculin A led also to an inhibition of alpha 2,3 ST activity. In addition, Ca/CaM antagonists and phosphatase inhibitors led both to an inhibition of a alpha 2,3 sialoglycoprotein from C6 glioma cells as demonstrated with lectin affinity blotting. A concerted regulatory mechanism with phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of alpha 2,3 ST is then postulated.
