T lymphocyte activation evokes distinct changes in cell surface O-glycans. CD8+ T cells undergo an elimination of sialic acid on core 1 O-glycans and an induction of core 2 O-glycans until either apoptotic death or differentiation into memory cells. We find that the ST3Gal-I sialyltransferase is required for core 1 O-glycan sialylation and its deficiency induces core 2 O-glycan biosynthesis. Apoptosis ensues with the loss of peripheral CD8+ T cells in the absence of immune stimulation. Cell surface ligation of the ST3Gal-I substrate CD43 recapitulates this phenotype by a caspase 3-independent mechanism. Control of core 1 O-glycan sialylation in T lymphocytes by ST3Gal-I comprises a homeostatic mechanism that eliminates CD8+ T cells by apoptosis while facilitating the production of viable CD8+ memory T cells.
