Peracetylated N-alpha -azidoacetylmannosamine is metabolized by cells to CMP-azidosialic acid. It has earlier been demonstrated that in this way azidosialic acid-containing glycoproteins are formed that can be labeled on the cell surface by a modified Staudinger ligation. We here firstly demonstrate that the same procedure also results in formation of azidosialic acid-containing gangliosides. Deoxymannojirimycin, an inhibitor of N-glycan processing in proteins, lowers by about 25% the total cell surface labeling in Jurkat cells. Inhibition of ganglioside biosynthesis with N-(adamantanemethyloxy)pentyl-deoxynojirimycin reduces by about 75% cell surface labeling. In conclusion, exposure of cells to peracetylated N-alpha -azidoacetylmannosamine allows in vivo chemical tagging of gangliosides.
