| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Myelin is formed by highly specialized glial cells and enwraps axons with a multilayered myelin membrane in vertebrates. Myelin serves essential roles in the functioning of the nervous system. Many glycoproteins have been identified in myelin. However, the roles of glycans on myelin glycoproteins remain poorly understood. In this study, we report that peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin glycoproteins contain highly abundant sulfated N-glycans. Major sulfated N-glycans were identified in both porcine and mouse PNS myelin, demonstrating that the GlcNAc-6-O-sulfation is highly conserved in PNS myelin between these species. Mice deficient in GlcNAc6ST-1 failed to synthesize sulfated N-glycans and exhibited abnormal myelination and axonal degeneration in the PNS. Taken together, these results demonstrate that GlcNAc6ST-1 modulates PNS myelination and myelinated axonal survival through the GlcNAc-6-O-sulfation of N-glycans on glycoproteins.
