The leukocytic adhesion receptor L-selectin plays a crucial role in the first step of the adhesion cascade, enabling leukocytes to migrate into surrounding tissues during inflammation and immune surveillance. We analyzed the site-specific N-glycosylation of the lectin and EGF-like domain of L-selectin using recombinant variants (LEHis). The three glycosylation sites of LEHis were mutated to obtain singly glycosylated variants that were expressed in HEK293F cells, alpha 1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP), expressed in the same system, was used to distinguish between cell type- and protein-specific glycosylation. Using mass spectrometry and exoglycosidase digestions, we established that LEHis was mostly bearing multifucosylated diantennary N-glycans with a major fraction terminating with GaINAc residues replacing the more common Gal. We could also show that parts of the GaINAc residues were sulfated. Furthermore, we identified novel diantennary glycan structures terminating with the motif GaINAc-GaINAc or SO4-GaINAc-GaINAc, which have not been described for N-glycans yet. Interestingly, none of these specific features were found in the N-glycan profile of AGP. This indicates that protein intrinsic information of L-selectin leads to decoration with specific N-glycans, which in turn may be related to L-selectin function.
