Elimination of Potential Sites of Glycosylation Fails to Abrogate Complement Regulatory Function of Cell Surface CD59

Abstract: CD59 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane glycoprotein that serves as the principle cellular inhibitor of the C5b-9 membrane attack complex (MAC) of human complement. Approximately 50% of the total apparent mass of CD59 is attributable to glycosylation of a single Asn (Asn 18 ). The deduced amino acid sequences of CD59 homologues identified in Old and New World primates as well as in rat reveal that the motif for N-linked glycosylation at the residue corresponding to Asn 18 of human CD59 is inva… Show more

“…A UPAR mutant lacking all of the N-glycosylation sites remained trapped in the ER and did not reach the cell surface (5). In the case of CD59, however, N-glycosylation did not appear to be crucial, inasmuch as eliminating the N-glycosylation site did not reduce the cell-surface expression of the molecule or adversely affect its function (12).…”

“…Several GPI-anchored proteins containing Ly-6 domains, such as UPAR and CD59, are known to be N-glycosylated (5,6,12,13). In the current study, we examined the idea Fig.…”

“…1A), the matched CD59 spots in the comparison of PDAC, CP and healthy samples were poorly resolved, forming a vertical streak. This may be due to heterogeneity in added carbohydrates [39] that may have masked any significant changes in abundance in the subsequent experiment. Neither of two antibodies used for validation detected the 14 kDa fragment seen on our 2-D gels, possibly indicating the need for a specific antibody that would target this specific fragment in urine.…”

“…[9,10,21] Just as carbohydrates may not be required for THP’s cofactor activity, the N-glycans present on other complement regulatory proteins, such as C4-binding protein, decay accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) and CD59 are not required for their complement inhibitory activity. [40,41,42]…”
