Résumé
Sialylation, the final stage of post-translational modification of proteins, is achieved in the Golgi apparatus and is related to the malignant phenotype of cancer. Disialylation of ganglioside (GD3) by St8sia1 and polysialylation by St8sia2 and 4 have been shown to be related to malignant phenotypes; however, di/oligosialylation by St8sia6 is still unknown. In this study, we analyzed the malignant phenotype of St8sia6 and found that upregulation of St8sia6 in melanoma B16 cells increased anchorage-independent cell growth, which was not due to sialic acid cleavage by a sialidase. Moreover, unlike other sialyltransferases, St8sia6 localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We found that the localization to the Golgi apparatus could be regulated by swapping experiments using St8sia2; however, the malignant phenotype did not change. These data demonstrate that the enhancement of anchorage-independent cell growth by St8sia6 is not due to its localization of ER, but is due to the expression of the protein itself.
