Loss of the poly-N-acetyllactosamine oligosaccharide branches created by GnT V results in reduced galectin-3 binding, which shows that glycoprotein-galectin lattices on the cell surface modulate TCR signaling.

Previous work proposed that galectin antagonism of integrin-mediated cell binding to the ECM was due to competition between galectins and integrins for matrix glycoproteins. This work provides evidence for a novel mechanism by which galectin-3 antagonizes integrins by removing them from the cell surface. This study also adds to the growing body of work showing that galectin-3 has both intracellular and extracellular functions.

CD8 binding to MHC class I molecules is influenced by T cell maturation and glycosylation. Immunity. 15:2001;1051-1061. These two papers [44••,45••] describe a novel role for glycosylation in regulating the interactions of antigen-presenting molecules during T cell development in the thymus. Although the binding of MHC class I molecules to their ligand CD8 on mature peripheral T cells is highly restricted, promiscuous binding of different MHC class I molecules to immature thymocytes was observed. This promiscuous binding is inhibited by the sialylation of glycoproteins on mature thymocytes and peripheral T cells, as removal of sialic acid restored binding. Moody et al. [44••] attribute this, at least in part, to regulated expression of the ST3Gal I sialyltransferase late in thymocyte development. Together, these two studies [44••,45••] show that glycosylation affects the organization and presentation of cell surface receptors to regulate ligand binding.
