additional information | construction of a recombinant human lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase Fc fusion (huLCAT-Fc), a chimeric protein produced by fusing human Fc to the C-terminus of the human enzyme via a linker sequence. The huLCAT-Fc homodimer contains five N-linked glycosylation sites per monomer. The heterogeneity and site-specific distribution of the various glycans are examined using enzymatic digestion and LC-MS/MS, followed by automatic processing. Almost all of the N-linked glycans in human LCAT are fucosylated and sialylated. The predominant LCAT N-linked glycoforms are biantennary glycans, followed by triantennary sugars, whereas the level of tetraantennary glycans is much lower. Glycans at the Fc N-linked site exclusively contain typical asialobiantennary structures. HuLCAT-Fc is also confirmed to have mucin-type glycans attached at T407 and S409. When LCAT-Fc fusions are constructed using a G-S-G-G-G-G linker, an unexpected 1632 Da xylose-based glycosaminoglycan (GAG) tetrasaccharide core of Xyl-Gal-Gal-GlcA is attached to S418. Several minor intermediate species including Xyl, Xyl-Gal, Xyl-Gal-Gal, and a phosphorylated GAG core are also present. GAG incorporation can be eliminated through engineering by shifting the linker Ser residue downstream in the linker sequence | Homo sapiens |

E416 (the C-terminus of LCAT) combined with the linker sequence is likely serving as a substrate for peptide O-xylosyltransferase | Homo sapiens |
