Summary
Enables alpha-N-acetylneuraminate alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ganglioside biosynthetic process; glycoprotein metabolic process; and oligosaccharide metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Orthologous to human ST8SIA4 (ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

  1. Mice deficient for ST8SiaIV have impaired long-term spatial memory in two tasks that critically rely on the hippocampus.
    Title: Environmental enrichment rescues memory in mice deficient for the polysialytransferase ST8SiaIV.
  2. Results demonstrate that the early development of calbindin-positive periglomerular interneurons depends on the presentation of polysialic acid on NCAM and requires the activity of both St8sia2 and St8sia4
    Title: Deficits of olfactory interneurons in polysialyltransferase- and NCAM-deficient mice.
  3. NCAM-140 significantly promoted cell proliferation, motility and migration, while polysialylation of NCAM-140 catalyzed by STX, but not by PST, enhanced NCAM-mediated cell migration, but not cell proliferation or motility.
    Title: Promotion of cell migration by neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is enhanced by PSA in a polysialyltransferase-specific manner.
  4. ST8SiaIV synthesized polySia selectively on a NRP2 glycoform that was characterized by the presence of sialylated core 1 and core 2 O-glycans.
    Title: Polysialic acid on neuropilin-2 is exclusively synthesized by the polysialyltransferase ST8SiaIV and attached to mucin-type o-glycans located between the b2 and c domain.
  5. Results indicate that the polySTs ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV not only recognize an acidic patch in the FN1 domain of NCAM but also must contact sequences in the Ig5 domain for polysialylation of Ig5 N-glycans to occur.
    Title: The polysialyltransferases interact with sequences in two domains of the neural cell adhesion molecule to allow its polysialylation.
  6. the negative and positive effects of ST8SiaIV overexpression observed during peripheral nerve regeneration suggest that an optimized time- and differentiation-dependent control of expression in Schwann cells may further improve nerve regeneration
    Title: Polysialyltransferase overexpression in Schwann cells mediates different effects during peripheral nerve regeneration.
  7. While both ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV mRNA levels decrease around the time of eye opening in mouse visual cortex, only ST8SiaII mRNA level reduction is regulated by sensory experience
    Title: Sensory experience differentially modulates the mRNA expression of the polysialyltransferases ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV in postnatal mouse visual cortex.
  8. ST8Sia4 knockout mice display a decreased motivation in social interaction. This deficit can be partly explained by olfactory deficits and was associated with a clear decrease in PSA-NCAM expression in all brain regions analyzed.
    Title: Differential impact of polysialyltransferase ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV knockout on social interaction and aggression.
  9. This study demonistrated that mice lacking St8siaIV polysialyltransferase have an accelerated onset of remyelination after cuprizone-induced demyelination.
    Title: Remyelination after cuprizone induced demyelination is accelerated in mice deficient in the polysialic acid synthesizing enzyme St8siaIV.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
