Hydroxyproline (Hyp)-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) participate in all aspects of plant growth and development. HRGPs are generally highly O-glycosylated through the Hyp residues, which means carbohydrates help define the interactive molecular surface and, hence, HRGP function. The Hyp contiguity hypothesis predicts that contiguous Hyp residues are sites of HRGP arabinosylation, whereas clustered noncontiguous Hyp residues are sites of galactosylation, giving rise to the arabinogalactan heteropolysaccharides that characterize the arabinogalactan-proteins. Early tests of the hypothesis using synthetic genes encoding only clustered noncontiguous Hyp in the sequence (serine [Ser]-Hyp-Ser-Hyp)n or contiguous Hyp in the series (Ser-Hyp-Hyp)n and (Ser-Hyp-Hyp-Hyp-Hyp)n confirmed that arabinogalactan polysaccharide was added only to noncontiguous Hyp, whereas arabinosylation occurred on contiguous Hyp. Here, we extended our tests of the codes that direct arabinogalactan polysaccharide addition to Hyp by building genes encoding the repetitive sequences (alanine [Ala]-proline [Pro]-Ala-Pro)n, (threonine [Thr]-Pro-Thr-Pro)n, and (valine [Val]-Pro-Val-Pro)n, and expressing them in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Bright-Yellow 2 cells as fusion proteins with green fluorescent protein. All of the Pro residues in the (Ala-Pro-Ala-Pro)n fusion protein were hydroxylated and consistent with the hypothesis that every Hyp residue was glycosylated with arabinogalactan polysaccharide. In contrast, 20% to 30% of Pro residues remained non-hydroxylated in the (Thr-Pro-Thr-Pro)n, and (Val-Pro-Val-Pro)n fusion proteins. Furthermore, although 50% to 60% of the Hyp residues were glycosylated with arabinogalactan polysaccharide, some remained non-glycosylated or were arabinosylated. These results suggest that the amino acid side chains of flanking residues influence the extent of Pro hydroxylation and Hyp glycosylation and may explain why isolated noncontiguous Hyp in extensins do not acquire an arabinogalactan polysaccharide but are arabinosylated or remain non-glycosylated.
