Probing the contribution of individual polypeptide GalNAc-transferase isoforms to the O-glycoproteome by inducible expression in isogenic cell lines

ABSTRACT: The GalNAc-type O-glycoproteome is orchestrated by a large family of polypeptide GalNAc-transferase isoenzymes (GalNAc-Ts) with partially overlapping contributions to the O-glycoproteome as well as distinct non-redundant functions. Increasing evidence indicate that individual GalNAc-Ts co-regulate and fine-tune specific protein functions in health and disease, and deficiencies in individual GALNT genes underlie congenital diseases with distinct phenotypes. Studies of GalNAc-T specificities have mainly been performed with in vitro enzyme assays using short peptide substrate, but recently quantitative differential O-glycoproteomics of isogenic cells with and without GALNT genes has enabled a more unbiased exploration of the non-redundant contributions of individual GalNAc-Ts. Both approaches suggest that fairly small subsets of O-glycosites are non-redundantly regulated by specific GalNAc-Ts, but how these isoenzymes orchestrate regulation amongst competing redundant substrates is unclear. To explore this, we developed isogenic cell model systems with Tet-On inducible expression of two GalNAc-T genes, GALNT2 and GALNT11, in a knockout background. Using quantitative O-glycoproteomics with TMT labelling we found that isoform-specific glycosites were glycosylated in a dose dependent manner, and induction of GalNAc-T2 or T11 produced discrete glycosylation effects without affecting the major part of the glycoproteome. The results support the findings that individual GalNAc-T isoenzymes can serve in fine-tuned regulation of distinct protein functions
