The serum mannan-binding protein (MBP) is a host defense C-type lectin specific for mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, and fucose residues, and exhibits growth inhibitory activity toward human colorectal carcinoma cells. The MBP-ligand oligosaccharides (MLO) isolated from a human colorectal carcinoma cell line, SW1116, are large, multiantennary N-glycans with highly fucosylated polylactosamine-type structures having Leb-Lea or tandem repeats of the Lea structure at their nonreducing ends. In this study, we isolated the major MBP-ligand glycoproteins from SW1116 cell lysates with an MBP column and identified them as CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) (110 kDa) and CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc)/4F2hc (82 kDa). Glycosidase digestion revealed that CD26 contained such complex-type N-glycans that appear to mediate the MBP binding. MALDI-MS of the N-glycans released from CD26 by PNGase F demonstrated conclusively that CD26 is the major MLO-carrying protein. More interestingly, a comparison of the N-glycans released from the MBP-binding and non-MBP-binding glycopeptides suggested that complex-type N-glycans carrying a minimum of 4 Lea/Leb epitopes arranged either as multimeric tandem repeats or terminal epitopes on multiantennary structures are critically important for the high affinity binding to MBP. Analysis of the N-glycan attachment sites demonstrated that the high affinity MLO was expressed preferentially at some N-glycosylation sites, but this site preference was not so stringent. Finally, hypothetical 3D models of tandem repeats of the Lea epitope and the MBP-Lewis oligosaccharide complex were presented.
