The contribution of oligosaccharides to the biochemical composition and antigen heterogeneity of the phosphotyrosine phosphatase CD45 glycoproteins has been studied on the K-562 erythroleukemic cell line. Treatment of immunoprecipitated CD45 glycoproteins with distinct exo- and endoglycosidases revealed the presence of highly sialylated O- and N-linked complex carbohydrates in the composition of mature CD45 glycoproteins. Incubation of K-562 cells with the N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin blocked carbohydrate processing during biosynthesis of CD45 proteins, generating unglycosylated polypeptides similar in size to those resulting from digestion of CD45 proteins with a mixture of both N- and O-glycanases. Epitopes defining the T cell maturation related CD45R0 and CD45RB antigen specificities were present on the mature 180- and 190-kDa K-562 CD45 proteins, respectively. However, the CD45R0 and CD45RB epitopes were not detected on the high mannose biosynthetic CD45 precursors. Furthermore, treatment of CD45 proteins with O-glycanase or neuraminidase resulted in the loss of both CD45R0 and CD45RB epitopes, although reactivity of the anti-CD45R0 and anti-CD45RB mAb was not affected by mAb preincubation with either sialic acids or sialyllactose in solution. From these results we conclude that the blockade of early steps of N-glycosylation during carbohydrate processing resulted in the inhibition of subsequent incorporation of O-linked sugars on CD45 polypeptides, thus preventing the late acquisition of the CD45R0 and CD45RB determinants on the 180- and 190-kDa CD45 polypeptides.
