Publication Abstract from PubMed Human beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase I (ST6Gal-I) establishes the final glycosylation pattern of many glycoproteins by transferring a sialyl moiety to a terminal galactose. Complete sialylation of therapeutic immunoglobulins is essential for their anti-inflammatory activity and protein stability, but is difficult to achieve in vitro owing to the limited activity of ST6Gal-I towards some galactose acceptors. No structural information on ST6Gal-I that could help to improve the enzymatic properties of ST6Gal-I for biotechnological purposes is currently available. Here, the crystal structures of human ST6Gal-I in complex with the product cytidine 5'-monophosphate and in complex with cytidine and phosphate are described. These complexes allow the rationalization of the inhibitory activity of cytosine-based nucleotides. ST6Gal-I adopts a variant of the canonical glycosyltransferase A fold and differs from related sialyltransferases by several large insertions and deletions that determine its regiospecificity and substrate specificity. A large glycan from a symmetry mate localizes to the active site of ST6Gal-I in an orientation compatible with catalysis. The glycan binding mode can be generalized to any glycoprotein that is a substrate of ST6Gal-I. Comparison with a bacterial sialyltransferase in complex with a modified sialyl donor lends insight into the Michaelis complex. The results support an SN2 mechanism with inversion of configuration at the sialyl residue and suggest substrate-assisted catalysis with a charge-relay mechanism that bears a conceptual similarity to serine proteases.
