Resumen en ingles
Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase (TS) is a recently
described enzyme whkh transfers a(2-3)-linked sialic acid
from host-derived sialylated glycoconjugates to parasite
surface molecules [Schenkman et al. (1991) Cell, 65, 1117].
We report here on the ability of TS to transfer sialic acid
from donor sialyl-a(2-3)lactose to sialidase-treated sheep
and human erythrocytes. Up to ~ 50% resialylation of both
desialylated red cells could be attained. Resialylation of
desialylated sheep erythrocytes restores their resistance to
lysis by human complement. This ascribes a possible
biological role for T.cruzi TS and demonstrates directly that
sialic acid is solely responsible for preventing alternative
pathway activation of human complement by sheep
erythrocytes.
