摘要
Mammalian neurofilaments ( NFs) are modified by post-translational modifications that are thought to regulate NF assembly and organization. Whereas phosphorylation has been intensely studied, the role of another common modification, the attachment of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine ( GlcNAc) to individual serine and threonine residues, is hardly understood. We generated a novel monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes an O-glycosylated epitope in the tail domain of NF-M and allows determination of the glycosylation state at this residue. The antibody displays strong species preference for human NF-M, shows some reactivity with rat but not with mouse or bovine NF-M. By immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis of biopsy-derived human temporal lobe tissue we show that immunoreactivity is highly enriched in axons parallel to hyperphosphorylated NFs. Treatment of cultured neurons with the GlcNAcase inhibitor PUGNAc causes a 40% increase in immunoreactivity within 1 h, which is completely reversible and parallels the total increase in cellular O-GlcNAc modification. Treatment with the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD-98059 leads to a similar increase in immunoreactivity. In spinal cord tissue of a transgenic rat model for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, immunoreactivity is strongly decreased compared with wild-type animals while phosphorylation is increased. The data suggest that hyper-phosphorylation and tail domain O-glycosylation of NFs are synchronously regulated in axons of human neurons in situ and that O-glycosylation of NF-M is highly dynamic and closely interweaved with phosphorylation cascades and may have a pathophysiological role.
