Substrate specificities
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The enzymes in GT-42 were originally examined from isolates of C. jejuni that express a number of ganglioside mimics, some of which have an a-2,8-a-2,3 linked di-sialic acid moiety (Gilbert 2008). The CjGT-42 known as Cst-II was found as part of the LOS biosynthesis operon (Gilbert et al. 2000), which facilitated the correlation of gene content to LOS structure. Based on the LOS structures which contained both a-2,3 and a-2,8 linked sialic acid it was predicted that there should be two sialyltransferases, but the surprising finding was that a single CjGT-42 enzyme, Cst-II, was making both linkages (Gilbert et al. 2002). This bi-functional enzyme has been shown to be a determinant in the development of post-infectious neuropathies (Guillain-Barré syndrome), due to an anti-ganglioside antibody response in some patients who were infected with C. jejuni (Koga et al. 2005) (van Belkum et al. 2001). Some species of Campylobacter express a second GT-42 enzyme known as Cst-I, which was in fact cloned first, but it has been shown not to be involved in LOS biosynthesis on the basis of gene knockouts in strains with both cst genes (Michel Gilbert, personal communication). Cst-I contains an extended C-terminal domain of unknown function, and the target acceptor of this second CjGT-42 is not known at present.
