The diversity of glycan chains in jellyfish mucin of three Cubozoan species: the contrast in molecular evolution rates of the peptide chain and Glycans.
The O-glycan composition of jellyfish (JF) mucin (qniumucin: Q-mucin) extracted from three Cubozoan species was studied after the optimization of the purification protocol. Application of a stepwise gradient of ionic strength to anion exchange chromatography (AEXC) was effective for isolating Q-mucin from coexisting impurities. In the three species, the amino acid sequence of the tandem repeat (TR) region in Q-mucin in all three Cubozoans seemed to remain the same as that in all Scyphozoans, although their glycan chains seemed to exhibit clear diversity. In particular, the amounts of acidic moieties on the glycan chains of Q-mucin from the Cubozoans markedly varied even in these genetically close species. In two of the three Cubozoan species, the fraction of disaccharides was large, showing a sharp contrast to that of the glycans of Q-mucin in Scyphozoans. This study also indicates that the simple sequence of TR commonly inherited in all Cubozoan and Scyphozoan JF species after the long term of evolution over 500 M years. According to this research, the glycans and the TR of mucin-type glycoproteins (MTGPs), forming a hierarchical structure, appear to complement each other in the evolutionary changes because the time required for their hereditary conversion is considerably different. The cooperation of these mechanisms is a strategy to achieve the contradictory functions of biosystems, namely species conservation and diversity acquisition.
期刊介绍:
Established as the leading journal in the field, Glycobiology provides a unique forum dedicated to research into the biological functions of glycans, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and free oligosaccharides, and on proteins that specifically interact with glycans (including lectins, glycosyltransferases, and glycosidases).
Glycobiology is essential reading for researchers in biomedicine, basic science, and the biotechnology industries. By providing a single forum, the journal aims to improve communication between glycobiologists working in different disciplines and to increase the overall visibility of the field.
