We have shown previously that the predominant N-CAM isoform in skeletal muscle myotubes contains as a result of alternative splicing a novel domain (MSD1) in its extracellular region. Here we show that this region represents a site for O-linked carbohydrate attachment. The lipid tailed N-CAM in myotubes was found to bind peanut lectin while the transmembrane isoform from myoblasts lacking MSD1 did not. In addition, N-CAM from a variety of neural sources failed to bind the lectin. Analysis of 3T3 fibroblasts transfected with various N-CAM cDNAs, showed that peanut lectin binding was correlated specifically with the expression of the MSD1 region. The oligosaccharides isolated from a purified preparation of myotube N-CAM were shown to contain an O-linked oligosaccharide whose core structure was a sialylated version of Gal beta 1----3GalNac which is the structure recognized specifically by peanut lectin. These data provide the first evidence for the expression of O-linked carbohydrate on any N-CAM isoform and more specifically target this oligosaccharide to the MSD1 region of myotube N-CAM.
