The core 1 structure of the mucin type O-glycan is synthesized by core 1 beta 1,3-galactosyltransferase (C1GalT). Core 1 synthase specific molecular chaperone (Cosmc), a molecular chaperone specific for C1GalT, is essential for the expression of functional C1GalT in mammalian cells. In this study, we have established a procedure for detecting the chaperone activity of Cosmc by using a wheat germ cell-free translation system. Active C1GalT was expressed following simultaneous translation with Cosmc or translation in the presence of recombinant Cosmc protein. Moreover, we show that recombinant Cosmc must be present during the translation of C1GalT, as it is ineffective when added after translation. These results indicate that Cosmc mediates the co-translational activation of C1GalT and that it may prevent the unfavorable aggregation of C1GalT.
