Abstract
Asparagine (N)-linked protein glycosylation, which takes place in the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is important for protein folding, quality control and the intracellular trafficking of secretory and membrane proteins. It is known that, during N-glycosylation, considerable amounts of lipid-linked oligosaccharides (LLOs), the glycan donor substrates for N-glycosylation, are hydrolyzed to form free N-glycans (FNGs) by unidentified mechanisms. FNGs are also generated in the cytosol by the enzymatic deglycosylation of misfolded glycoproteins during ER-associated degradation. FNGs derived from LLOs and misfolded glycoproteins are eventually merged into one pool in the cytosol and the various glycan structures are processed to a near homogenous glycoform. This article summarizes the current state of our knowledge concerning the formation and catabolism of FNGs.

Abstract
A series of pentahydroxylated pyrrolidines, displaying five contiguous stereogenic centres and epimeric to α-glucosidase inhibitor homoDMDP, have been synthesized. The key step involves a γ-aminoalcohol rearrangement applied to polyhydroxylated azepanes. These five-membered iminosugars demonstrate micromolar inhibition of glycosidases.

Abstract
The lysosomal α-mannosidases are class II mannosidases that belong to glycoside hydrolase family 38 and play an important role in the degradation of asparagine-linked carbohydrates of glycoproteins. Based on peptide similarity to human and bovine lysosomal mannosidase (LM), recombinant α-mannosidase from Drosophila melanogaster (dLM408) was cloned and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The recombinant form of dLM408 designed for structural analysis lacks the transmembrane domain and was crystallized using standard vapour-diffusion and counter-diffusion techniques. The crystals grew as flat plates and as tetragonal bipyramids, respectively. The plate-shaped crystals exhibited the symmetry of space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and diffracted to a minimum d-spacing of 3.5 Å.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a conserved posttranslational modification that is found in all eukaryotes, which helps generate proteins with multiple functions. Our knowledge of glycosylation mainly comes from the investigation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian cells. However, during the last decade, glycosylation in the human pathogenic mold Aspergillus fumigatus has drawn significant attention. It has been revealed that glycosylation in A. fumigatus is crucial for its growth, cell wall synthesis, and development and that the process is more complicated than that found in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae. The present paper implies that the investigation of glycosylation in A. fumigatus is not only vital for elucidating the mechanism of fungal cell wall synthesis, which will benefit the design of new antifungal therapies, but also helps to understand the role of protein glycosylation in the development of multicellular eukaryotes. This paper describes the advances in functional analysis of protein glycosylation in A. fumigatus.

Abstract
Quality control of protein folding represents a fundamental cellular activity. Early steps of protein N-glycosylation involving the removal of three glucose and some specific mannose residues in the endoplasmic reticulum have been recognized as being of importance for protein quality control. Specific oligosaccharide structures resulting from the oligosaccharide processing may represent a glycocode promoting productive protein folding, whereas others may represent glyco-codes for routing not correctly folded proteins for dislocation from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol and subsequent degradation. Although quality control of protein folding is essential for the proper functioning of cells, it is also the basis for protein folding disorders since the recognition and elimination of non-native conformers can result either in loss-of-function or pathological-gain-of-function. The machinery for protein folding control represents a prime example of an intricate interactome present in a single organelle, the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, current views of mechanisms for the recognition and retention leading to productive protein folding or the eventual elimination of misfolded glycoproteins in yeast and mammalian cells are reviewed.

Alpha-1,2-mannosidase and hence N-glycosylation are required for regulatory T cell migration and allograft tolerance in mice. PLoS One 2010; 5:e8894.

Abstract
Background Specific immunological unresponsiveness to alloantigens can be induced in vivo by treating mice with a donor alloantigen in combination with a non-depleting anti-CD4 antibody. This tolerance induction protocol enriches for alloantigen reactive regulatory T cells (Treg). We previously demonstrated that alpha-1,2-mannosidase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis and processing of N-linked glycoproteins, is highly expressed in tolerant mice, in both graft infiltrating leukocytes and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Principal Findings In this study we have identified that alpha-1,2-mannosidase expression increases in CD25+CD4+ Treg when they encounter alloantigen in vivo. When alpha-1,2-mannosidase enzyme activity was blocked, Treg retained their capacity to suppress T cell proliferation in vitro but were unable to bind to physiologically relevant ligands in vitro. Further in vivo analysis demonstrated that blocking alpha-1,2-mannosidase in Treg resulted in the migration of significantly lower numbers to the peripheral lymph nodes in skin grafted mice following adoptive transfer, where they were less able to inhibit the proliferation of naïve T cells responding to donor alloantigen and hence unable prevent allograft rejection in vivo. Significance Taken together, our results suggest that activation of alloantigen reactive Treg results in increased alpha-1,2-mannosidase expression and altered N-glycosylation of cell surface proteins. In our experimental system, altered N-glycosylation is not essential for intrinsic Treg suppressive capacity, but is essential in vivo as it facilitates Treg migration to sites where they can regulate immune priming. Migration of Treg is central to their role in regulating in vivo immune responses and may require specific changes in N-glycosylation upon antigen encounter.

Abstract
The mammalian ER/cytosolic alpha-mannosidase (Man2C1p), yeast vacuolar alpha-mannosidase (Ams1p) and the Aspergillus nidulans alpha-mannosidase are members of Class IIC subgroup, which is involved in oligosaccharide catabolism and N-glycan processing. Unlike their mammalian counterparts, the yeast Ams1p and A. nidulans Class IIC alpha-mannosidase are not essential for morphogenesis and cellular function. In this study, the Afams1, a gene encoding a member of Class IIC alpha-mannosidases, was identified in the opportunistic pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Deletion of the Afams1 led to a severe defect in conidial formation, especially at a higher temperature. In addition, abnormalities of polarity and septation were associated with the DeltaAfams1 mutant. Our results showed that the Afams1 gene, in contrast to its homolog in yeast or A. nidulans, was required for morphogenesis and cellular function in A. fumigatus.

Abstract
Cytosolic α-mannosidases are glycosyl hydrolases that participate in the catabolism of cytosolic free N-oligosaccharides. Two soluble α-mannosidases (E-I and E-II) belonging to glycosyl hydrolases family 47 have been described in Candida albicans. We demonstrate that addition of pepstatin A during the preparation of cell homogenates enriched α-mannosidase E-I at the expense of E-II, indicating that the latter is generated by proteolysis during cell disruption. E-I corresponded to a polypeptide of 52 kDa that was associated with mannosidase activity and was recognized by an anti-α1,2-mannosidase antibody. The N-mannan core trimming properties of the purified enzyme E-I were consistent with its classification as a family 47 α1,2-mannosidase. Differential density-gradient centrifugation of homogenates revealed that α1,2-mannosidase E-I was localized to the cytosolic fraction and Golgi-derived vesicles, and that a 65 kDa membrane-bound α1,2-mannosidase was present in endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi-derived vesicles. Distribution of α-mannosidase activity in a kex2Δ null mutant or in wild-type protoplasts treated with monensin demonstrated that the membrane-bound α1,2-mannosidase is processed by Kex2 protease into E-I, recognizing an atypical cleavage site of the precursor. Analysis of cytosolic free N-oligosaccharides revealed that cytosolic α1,2-mannosidase E-I trims free Man8GlcNAc2 isomer B into Man7GlcNAc2 isomer B. This is believed to be the first report demonstrating the presence of soluble α1,2-mannosidase from the glycosyl hydrolases family 47 in a cytosolic compartment of the cell.

Abstract
Progress in glycobiology has undergone explosive growth over the past decade with more of the researchers now realizing the importance of glycan chains in various inter- and intracellular processes. However, there is still an area of glycobiology awaiting exploration. This is especially the case for the field of "glycobiology in the cytosol" which remains rather poorly understood. Yet evidence is accumulating to demonstrate that the glycoconjugates and their recognition molecules (i.e. lectins) are often present in this subcellular compartment.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that N-linked glycans play pivotal roles in protein folding and intra- and/or intercellular trafficking of N-glycosylated proteins. It has been shown that during the N-glycosylation of proteins, significant amounts of free oligosaccharides (free OSs) are generated in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by a mechanism which remains to be clarified. Free OSs are also formed in the cytosol by enzymatic deglycosylation of misfolded glycoproteins, which are subjected to destruction by a cellular system called "ER-associated degradation (ERAD)." While the precise functions of free OSs remain obscure, biochemical studies have revealed that a novel cellular process enables them to be catabolized in a specialized manner, that involves pumping free OSs in the lumen of the ER into the cytosol where further processing occurs. This process is followed by entry into the lysosomes. In this review we summarize current knowledge about the formation, processing and degradation of free OSs in eukaryotes and also discuss the potential biological significance of this pathway. Other evidence for the occurrence of free OSs in various cellular processes is also presented.

Abstract
A glycosyl hydrolase family 38 enzyme, neutral alpha-mannosidase, has been proposed to be involved in hydrolysis of cytosolic free oligosaccharides originating either from ER-misfolded glycoproteins or the N-glycosylation process. Although this enzyme has been isolated from the cytosol, it has also been linked to the ER by subcellular fractionations. We have studied the subcellular localization of neutral alpha-mannosidase by immunofluorescence microscopy and characterized the human recombinant enzyme with natural substrates to elucidate the biological function of this enzyme. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed neutral alpha-mannosidase to be absent from the ER, lysosomes, and autophagosomes, and being granularly distributed in the cytosol. In experiments with fluorescent recovery after photo bleaching, neutral alpha-mannosidase had slower than expected two-phased diffusion in the cytosol. This result together with the granular appearance in immunostaining suggests that portion of the neutral alpha-mannosidase pool is somehow complexed. The purified recombinant enzyme is a tetramer and has a neutral pH optimum for activity. It hydrolyzed Man(9)GlcNAc to Man(5)GlcNAc in the presence of Fe(2+), Co(2+), and Mn(2+), and uniquely to neutral alpha-mannosidases from other organisms, the human enzyme was more activated by Fe(2+) than Co(2+). Without activating cations the main reaction product was Man(8)GlcNAc, and Cu(2+) completely inhibited neutral alpha-mannosidase. Our findings from enzyme-substrate characterizations and subcellular localization studies support the suggested role for neutral alpha-mannosidase in hydrolysis of soluble cytosolic oligomannosides.

Abstract
In the early secretory pathway, opportunistic cleavage of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mannosidase I targets misfolded glycoproteins for dislocation into the cytosol and destruction by 26 S proteasomes. The low basal concentration of the glycosidase is believed to coordinate the glycan cleavage with prolonged conformation-based ER retention, ensuring that terminally misfolded glycoproteins are preferentially targeted for destruction. Herein the intracellular fate of human ER mannosidase I was monitored to determine whether a post-translational process might contribute to the regulation of its intracellular concentration. The transiently expressed recombinant human glycosidase was subject to rapid intracellular turnover in mouse hepatoma cells, as was the endogenous mouse ortholog. Incubation with either chloroquine or leupeptin, but not lactacystin, led to intracellular stabilization, implicating the involvement of lysosomal acid hydrolases. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide led to intracellular depletion of the glycosidase and concomitant ablation of asparagine-linked glycoprotein degradation, confirming the physiologic relevance of the destabilization process. Metabolic incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate, detection by anti-phosphoserine antiserum, and the stabilizing effect of general serine kinase inhibition implied that ER mannosidase I is subjected to regulated proteolysis. Stabilization in response to genetically engineered removal of the amino-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a postulated regulatory domain, and colocalization of green fluorescent protein fusion proteins with Lamp1 provided two additional lines of evidence to support the hypothesis. A model is proposed in which proteolytically driven checkpoint control of ER mannosidase I contributes to the establishment of an equitable glycoprotein quality control standard by which the efficiency of asparagine-linked glycoprotein conformational maturation is measured.

Abstract
The endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation of misfolded (glyco)proteins ensures that only functional, correctly folded proteins exit from the endoplasmic reticulum and that misfolded ones are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. During the degradation of misfolded glycoproteins, they are deglycosylated by the PNGase (peptide:N-glycanase). The free oligosaccharides released by PNGase are known to be further catabolized by a cytosolic alpha-mannosidase, although the gene encoding this enzyme has not been identified unequivocally. The findings in the present study demonstrate that an alpha-mannosidase, Man2C1, is involved in the processing of free oligosaccharides that are formed in the cytosol. When the human Man2C1 orthologue was expressed in HEK-293 cells, most of the enzyme was localized in the cytosol. Its activity was enhanced by Co2+, typical of other known cytosolic alpha-mannosidases so far characterized from animal cells. The down-regulation of Man2C1 activity by a small interfering RNA drastically changed the amount and structure of oligosaccharides accumulating in the cytosol, demonstrating that Man2C1 indeed is involved in free oligosaccharide processing in the cytosol. The oligosaccharide processing in the cytosol by PNGase, endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase may represent the common 'non-lysosomal' catabolic pathway for N-glycans in animal cells, although the molecular mechanism as well as the functional importance of such processes remains to be determined.

Abstract
Most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are N-glycosylated proteins but the role of this post-translational modification in GPCR biosynthesis has not been extensively studied. We previously showed that the non-glycosylated AT(1) receptor is inefficiently expressed at the cell surface. In this study, we addressed whether AT(1) interacts with elements of the ER-based quality control processes. Interestingly, non-glycosylated AT(1) receptors associated with the molecular chaperones calnexin and HSP70, suggesting the importance of protein-based interactions between these partners. We also demonstrate that ER mannosidase I participates in the acquisition of mature glycoforms and in the targeting of the AT(1) receptor to the membrane. Taken together, these results indicate that decreased cell-surface expression of the non-glycosylated receptor cannot be attributed to diminished interactions with molecular chaperones and that mannose trimming of the wild-type AT(1) receptor by ER mannosidase I plays a critical role in its cell-surface expression.

Abstract
Alpha-mannosidases in eukaryotic cells are involved in both glycan biosynthetic reactions and glycan catabolism. Two broad families of enzymes have been identified that cleave terminal mannose linkages from Asn-linked oligosaccharides (Moremen, 2000), including the Class 1 mannosidases (CAZy GH family 47 (Henrissat and Bairoch, 1996)) of the early secretory pathway involved in the processing of N-glycans and quality control and the Class 2 mannosidases (CAZy family GH38 [Henrissat and Bairoch, 1996]) involved in glycoprotein biosynthesis or catabolism. Within the Class 1 family of alpha-mannosidases, three subfamilies of enzymes have been identified (Moremen, 2000). The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) alpha1,2-mannosidase I (ERManI) subfamily acts to cleave a single residue from Asn-linked glycans in the ER. The Golgi alpha-mannosidase I (GolgiManI) subfamily has at least three members in mammalian systems (Herscovics et al., 1994; Lal et al., 1994; Tremblay and Herscovics, 2000) involved in glycan maturation in the Golgi complex to form the Man(5)GlcNAc(2) processing intermediate. The third subfamily of GH47 proteins comprises the ER degradation, enhancing alpha-mannosidase-like proteins (EDEM proteins) (Helenius and Aebi, 2004; Hirao et al., 2006; Mast et al., 2005). These proteins have been proposed to accelerate the degradation of misfolded proteins in the lumen of the ER by a lectin function that leads to retrotranslocation to the cytosol and proteasomal degradation. Recent studies have also indicated that ERManI acts as a timer for initiation of glycoprotein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (Hosokawa et al., 2003; Wu et al., 2003). This article discusses methods for analysis of the GH47 alpha-mannosidases, including expression, purification, activity assays, generation of point mutants, and binding studies by surface plasmon resonance.

Abstract
In the past decades, a large number of studies in mammalian cells have revealed that processing of glycoproteins is compartmentalized into several subcellular organelles that process N-glycans to generate complex-type oligosaccharides with terminal N -acetlyneuraminic acid. Recent studies also suggested that processing of N-glycans in insect cells appear to follow a similar initial pathway but diverge at subsequent processing steps. N-glycans from insect cell lines are not usually processed to terminally sialylated complex-type structures but are instead modified to paucimannosidic or oligomannose structures. These differences in processing between insect cells and mammalian cells are due to insufficient expression of multiple processing enzymes including glycosyltransferases responsible for generating complex-type structures and metabolic enzymes involved in generating appropriate sugar nucleotides. Recent genomics studies suggest that insects themselves may include many of these complex transferases and metabolic enzymes at certain developmental stages but expression is lost or limited in most lines derived for cell culture. In addition, insect cells include an N -acetylglucosaminidase that removes a terminal N -acetylglucosamine from the N-glycan. The innermost N -acetylglucosamine residue attached to asparagine residue is also modified with alpha(1,3)-linked fucose, a potential allergenic epitope, in some insect cells. In spite of these limitations in N-glycosylation, insect cells have been widely used to express various recombinant proteins with the baculovirus expression vector system, taking advantage of their safety, ease of use, and high productivity. Recently, genetic engineering techniques have been applied successfully to insect cells in order to enable them to produce glycoproteins which include complex-type N-glycans. Modifications to insect N-glycan processing include the expression of missing glycosyltransferases and inclusion of the metabolic enzymes responsible for generating the essential donor sugar nucleotide, CMP- N -acetylneuraminic acid, required for sialylation. Inhibition of N -acetylglucosaminidase has also been applied to alter N-glycan processing in insect cells. This review summarizes current knowledge on N-glycan processing in lepidopteran insect cell lines, and recent progress in glycoengineering lepidopteran insect cells to produce glycoproteins containing complex N-glycans.

Abstract
Insects, yeasts and plants generate widely different N-glycans, the structures of which differ significantly from those produced by mammals. The processing of the initial Glc2Man9GlcNAc2 oligosaccharide to Man8GlcNAc2 in the endoplasmic reticulum shows significant similarities among these species and with mammals, whereas very different processing events occur in the Golgi compartments. For example, yeasts can add 50 or even more Man residues to Man(8-9)GlcNAc2, whereas insect cells typically remove most or all Man residues to generate paucimannosidic Man(3-1)GlcNAc2N-glycans. Plant cells also remove Man residues to yield Man(4-5)GlcNAc2, with occasional complex GlcNAc or Gal modifications, but often add potentially allergenic beta(1,2)-linked Xyl and, together with insect cells, core alpha(1,3)-linked Fuc residues. However, genomic efforts, such as expression of exogenous glycosyltransferases, have revealed more complex processing capabilities in these hosts that are not usually observed in native cell lines. In addition, metabolic engineering efforts undertaken to modify insect, yeast and plant N-glycan processing pathways have yielded sialylated complex-type N-glycans in insect cells, and galactosylated N-glycans in yeasts and plants, indicating that cell lines can be engineered to produce mammalian-like glycoproteins of potential therapeutic value.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of newly synthesized glycoproteins has been demonstrated previously using various mammalian cell lines. Depending on the cell type, glycoproteins bearing Man9 glycans and glycoproteins bearing Man5 glycans can be efficiently degraded. A wide variety of variables can lead to defective synthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharides and, therefore, in mammalian cells, species derived from Man9GlcNAc2 or Man5GlcNAc2 are often recovered on newly synthesized glycoproteins. The degradation of glycoproteins bearing these two species has not been studied. We used a Chinese hamster ovary cell line lacking Glc-P-Dol-dependent glucosyltransferase I to generate various proportions of Man5GlcNAc2 and Man9GlcNAc2 on newly synthesized glycoproteins. By studying the structure of the soluble oligomannosides produced by degradation of these glycoproteins, we demonstrated the presence of a higher proportion of soluble oligomannosides originating from truncated glycans, showing that glycoproteins bearing Man5GlcNAc2 glycans are degraded preferentially.

Abstract
Recently, the role of N-linked glycans in the process of ERAD (endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation) of proteins has been widely recognized. In the present study, we attempted to delineate further the sequence of events leading from a fully glycosylated soluble protein to its deglycosylated form. Degradation intermediates of a truncated form of ribophorin I, namely RI(332), which contains a single N-linked oligosaccharide and is a substrate for the ERAD/ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, were characterized in HeLa cells under conditions blocking proteasomal degradation. The action of a deoxymannojirimycin- and kifunensine-sensitive alpha1,2-mannosidase was shown here to be required for both further glycan processing and progression of RI(332) in the ERAD pathway. In a first step, the Man(8) isomer B, generated by ER mannosidase I, appears to be the major oligomannoside structure associated with RI(332) intermediates. Some other trimmed N-glycan species, in particular Glc(1)Man(7)GlcNAc(2), were also found on the protein, indicating that several mannosidases might be implicated in the initial trimming of the oligomannoside. Secondly, another intermediate of degradation of RI(332) accumulated after proteasome inhibition. We demonstrated that this completely deglycosylated form arose from the action of an N-glycanase closely linked to the ER membrane. Indeed, the deglycosylated form of the protein remained membrane-associated, while being accessible from the cytoplasm to ubiquitinating enzymes and to added protease. Our results indicate that deglycosylation of a soluble ERAD substrate glycoprotein occurs in at least two distinct steps and is coupled with the retro-translocation of the protein preceding its proteasomal degradation.

Abstract
Free oligosaccharides (fOS) are generated during glycoprotein biosynthesis in mammalian cells. Here we report on the origin and fate of these structures in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After metabolic radiolabelling with [2-(3)H]mannose ([2-(3)H]Man) for 30 min, Man(8)GlcNAc(2) was identified as the predominant fOS in this organism, and radioactivity associated with this structure was found to correspond to approximately 1% of that associated with the same structure N -linked to glycoprotein. Despite provoking a fourfold increase in radioactivity associated with lipid-linked oligosaccharide, the protein-synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide blocked [2-(3)H]Man incorporation into both endo-beta-D- N -acetylglucosamine H-sensitive N-glycans and fOS. Peptide:N-glycanase, encoded by the PNG1 gene, was found to be required for the generation of a large proportion of yeast fOS during, and soon after, protein glycosylation. Use of an ams1 Delta strain deficient in the vacuolar alpha-mannosidase revealed this enzyme to be responsible for the slow growth-associated catabolism of fOS. The present paper constitutes the first description of fOS formation in intact S. cerevisiae, and, with the demonstration that fOS are degraded by the vacuolar mannosidase, a novel function for this poorly understood enzyme has been identified.

Abstract
The maturation of N-glycans to complex type structures on cellular and secreted proteins is essential for the roles that these structures play in cell adhesion and recognition events in metazoan organisms. Critical steps in the biosynthetic pathway leading from high mannose to complex structures include the trimming of mannose residues by processing mannosidases in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex. These exo-mannosidases comprise two separate families of enzymes that are distinguished by enzymatic characteristics and sequence similarity. Members of the Class 2 mannosidase family (glycosylhydrolase family 38) include enzymes involved in trimming reactions in N-glycan maturation in the Golgi complex (Golgi mannosidase II) as well as catabolic enzymes in lysosomes and cytosol. Studies on the biological roles of complex type N-glycans have employed a variety of strategies including the treatment of cells with glycosidase inhibitors, characterization of human patients with enzymatic defects in processing enzymes, and generation of mouse models for the enzyme deficiency by selective gene disruption approaches. Corresponding studies on Golgi mannosidase II have employed swainsonine, an alkaloid natural plant product that causes "locoism", a phenocopy of the lysosomal storage disease, alpha-mannosidosis, as a result of the additional targeting of the broad-specificity lysosomal mannosidase by this compound. The human deficiency in Golgi mannosidase II is characterized by congenital dyserythropoietic anemia with splenomegaly and various additional abnormalities and complications. Mouse models for Golgi mannosidase II deficiency recapitulate many of the pathological features of the human disease and confirm that the unexpectedly mild effects of the enzyme deficiency result from a tissue-specific and glycoprotein substrate-specific alternate pathway for synthesis of complex N-glycans. In addition, the mutant mice develop symptoms of a systemic autoimmune disorder as a consequence of the altered glycosylation. This review will discuss the biochemical features of Golgi mannosidase II and the consequences of its deficiency in mammalian systems as a model for the effects of alterations in vertebrate N-glycan maturation during development.

Abstract
Protein folding and quality control in the early secretory pathway function as posttranslational checkpoints in eukaryote gene expression. Herein, an aberrant form of the hepatic secretory protein alpha1-antitrypsin was stably expressed in a human embryonic kidney cell line to elucidate the mechanisms by which glycoprotein endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (GERAD) is administered in cells from higher eukaryotes. After biosynthesis, genetic variant PI Z underwent alternative phases of secretion and degradation, the latter of which was mediated by the proteasome. Degradation required release from calnexin- and asparagine-linked oligosaccharide modification by endoplasmic reticulum mannosidase I, the latter of which occurred as PI Z was bound to the molecular chaperone grp78/BiP. That a distinct GERAD program operates in human embryonic kidney cells was supported by the extent of PI Z secretion, apparent lack of polymerization, inability of calnexin to participate in the degradation process, and sequestration of the glycoprotein folding sensor UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase in the Golgi complex. Because UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase sustains calnexin binding, its altered distribution is consistent with a GERAD program that hinders the reentry of substrates into the calnexin cycle, allowing grp78/BiP to partner with a lectin, other than calnexin, in the recognition of a two-component GERAD signal to facilitate substrate recruitment. How the processing of a mutant protein, rather than the mutation itself, can contribute to disease pathogenesis, is discussed.

Abstract
B-lineage acute leukaemia cells are generally resistant to CD95-mediated apoptosis. In this report, the CD95-resistant B-leukaemia lines SEM, RS4;11, and REH were used to investigate the mechanisms of resistance to CD95-signalling. We found that interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) treatment increased the presence of high molecular weight forms of CD95 in these cells as judged by Western analysis, and treatment of protein extracts with Peptide: N -glycosidase F indicated that the majority of high molecular weight forms were due to N-linked glycosylation. Treatment of whole cells with neuraminidase from Vibrio cholerae substantially reduced the relative molecular mass of CD95 observed after IFN-gamma treatment and partially sensitized the three leukaemia lines to CD95-mediated death. To further characterize the different steps of oligosaccharide processing that may regulate CD95 signalling, the leukaemic cells were treated with IFN-gamma and the glycosidase inhibitors castanospermine, 1-deoxymannojirimycin (DMM), and swainsonine. Treatment with DMM, a mannosidase inhibitor, efficiently reduced the appearance of high molecular weight forms of CD95 after IFN-gamma treatment, and sensitized SEM and REH cells to CD95-mediated death. However, the IFN-gamma-induced increases of CD95 on the cell surface were not altered by treatment with any of the glycosidase inhibitors, suggesting that the generation of complex oligosaccharide structures is not required for trafficking of CD95, but may instead be used as a mechanism of partially blocking CD95 signalling in these cells. In conclusion, IFN-gamma treatment of the B-lineage leukaemia lines provides a novel, inducible system for the further characterization of post-translational modifications involved in modulating sensitivity to CD95-signalling.

Abstract
To further explore the localization of the N-deglycosylation involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated quality control system we studied HepG2 cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and its ts045 mutant, as in this system oligosaccharide release can be attributed solely to the VSV glycoprotein (G protein). We utilized the restricted intracellular migration of the mutant protein as well as dithiothreitol (DTT), low temperature, and a castanospermine (CST)-imposed glucosidase blockade to determine in which intracellular compartment deglycosylation takes place. Degradation of the VSV ts045 G protein was considerably greater at the nonpermissive than at the permissive temperature; this was reflected by a substantial increase in polymannose oligosaccharide release. Under both conditions these oligosaccharides were predominantly in the characteristic cytosolic form, which terminates in a single N-acetylglucosamine (OS-GlcNAc(1)); this was also the case in the presence of DTT, which retains the G protein completely in the ER. However when cells infected with the VSV mutant were examined at 15 degrees C or exposed to CST, both of which represent conditions that impair ER-to-cytosol transport, the released oligosaccharides were almost exclusively (> 95%) in the vesicular OS-GlcNAc(2) form; glucosidase blockade had a similar effect on the wild-type virus. Addition of puromycin to glucosidase-inhibited cells resulted in a pronounced reduction (> 90%) in oligosaccharide release, which reflected a comparable impairment in glycoprotein biosynthesis and indicated that the OS-GlcNAc(2) components originated from protein degradation rather than hydrolysis of oligosaccharide lipids. Our findings are consistent with N-deglycosylation of the VSV G protein in the ER and the subsequent transport of the released oligosaccharides to the cytosol where OS-GlcNAc(2) to OS-GlcNAc(1) conversion by an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase takes place. Studies with the ts045 G protein at the nonpermissive temperature permitted us to determine that it can be processed by Golgi endomannosidase although remaining endo H sensitive, supporting the concept that it recycles between the ER and cis-Golgi compartments.

Abstract
A soluble form of ribophorin I (RI(332)) is rapidly degraded in Hela and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by a cytosolic proteasomal pathway, and the N-linked glycan present on the protein may play an important role in this process. Specifically, it has been suggested that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mannosidase I could trigger the targeting of improperly folded glycoproteins to degradation. We used a CHO-derived glycosylation-defective cell line, MadIA214, for investigating the role of mannosidase(s) as a signal for glycoprotein degradation. Glycoproteins in MadIA214 cells carry truncated Glc(1)Man(5)GlcNAc(2) N-glycans. This oligomannoside structure interferes with protein maturation and folding, leading to an alteration of the ER morphology and the detection of high levels of soluble oligomannoside species caused by glycoprotein degradation. An HA-epitope-tagged soluble variant of ribophorin I (RI(332)-3HA) expressed in MadIA214 cells was rapidly degraded, comparable to control cells with the complete Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) N-glycan. ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of RI(332)-3HA was also proteasome-mediated in MadIA214 cells, as demonstrated by inhibition of RI(332)-3HA degradation with agents specifically blocking proteasomal activities. Two inhibitors of alpha1,2-mannosidase activity also stabilized RI(332)-3HA in the glycosylation-defective cell line. This is striking, because the major mannosidase activity in the ER is the one of mannosidase I, specific for a mannose alpha1,2-linkage that is absent from the truncated Man(5) structure. Interestingly, though the Man(5) derivative was present in large amounts in the total protein pool, the two major species linked to RI(332)-3HA shortly after synthesis consisted of Glc(1)Man(5 )and Man(4), being replaced by Man(4 )and Man(3) when proteasomal degradation was inhibited. In contrast, the untrimmed intermediate of RI(332)-3HA was detected in mutant cells treated with mannosidase inhibitors. Our results unambiguously demonstrate that an alpha1,2-mannosidase that is not ER mannosidase I is involved in ERAD of RI(332-)3HA in the glycosylation-defective cell line, MadIA214.

Abstract
Previously, we cloned and characterized an insect (Sf9) cell cDNA encoding a class II alpha-mannosidase with amino acid sequence and biochemical similarities to mammalian Golgi alpha-mannosidase II. Since then, it has been demonstrated that other mammalian class II alpha-mannosidases can participate in N-glycan processing. Thus, the present study was performed to evaluate the catalytic properties of the Sf9 class II alpha-mannosidase and to more clearly determine its relationship to mammalian Golgi alpha-mannosidase II. The results showed that the Sf9 enzyme is cobalt-dependent and can hydrolyze Man(5)GlcNAc(2) to Man(3)GlcNAc(2), but it cannot hydrolyze GlcNAcMan(5)GlcNAc(2). These data establish that the Sf9 enzyme is distinct from Golgi alpha-mannosidase II. This enzyme is not a lysosomal alpha-mannosidase because it is not active at acidic pH and it is localized in the Golgi apparatus. In fact, its sensitivity to swainsonine distinguishes the Sf9 enzyme from all other known mammalian class II alpha-mannosidases that can hydrolyze Man(5)GlcNAc(2). Based on these properties, we designated this enzyme Sf9 alpha-mannosidase III and concluded that it probably provides an alternate N-glycan processing pathway in Sf9 cells.

Abstract
Quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum must discriminate nascent proteins in their folding process from terminally unfolded molecules, selectively degrading the latter. Unassembled Ig-mu and J chains, two glycoproteins with five N-linked glycans and one N-linked glycan, respectively, are degraded by cytosolic proteasomes after a lag from synthesis, during which glycan trimming occurs. Inhibitors of mannosidase I (kifunensine), but not of mannosidase II (swainsonine), prevent the degradation of mu chains. Kifunensine also inhibits J chain dislocation and degradation, without inhibiting secretion of IgM polymers. In contrast, glucosidase inhibitors do not significantly affect the kinetics of mu and J degradation. These results suggest that removal of the terminal mannose from the central branch acts as a timer in dictating the degradation of transport-incompetent, glycosylated Ig subunits in a calnexin-independent way. Kifunensine does not inhibit the degradation of an unglycosylated substrate (lambda Ig light chains) or of chimeric mu chains extended with the transmembrane region of the alpha T cell receptor chain, implying the existence of additional pathways for extracting proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen for proteasomal degradation.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) class I alpha1,2-mannosidase (also known as ER alpha-mannosidase I) is a critical enzyme in the maturation of N-linked oligosaccharides and ER-associated degradation. Trimming of a single mannose residue acts as a signal to target misfolded glycoproteins for degradation by the proteasome. Crystal structures of the catalytic domain of human ER class I alpha1,2-mannosidase have been determined both in the presence and absence of the potent inhibitors kifunensine and 1-deoxymannojirimycin. Both inhibitors bind to the protein at the bottom of the active-site cavity, with the essential calcium ion coordinating the O-2' and O-3' hydroxyls and stabilizing the six-membered rings of both inhibitors in a (1)C(4) conformation. This is the first direct evidence of the role of the calcium ion. The lack of major conformational changes upon inhibitor binding and structural comparisons with the yeast alpha1, 2-mannosidase enzyme-product complex suggest that this class of inverting enzymes has a novel catalytic mechanism. The structures also provide insight into the specificity of this class of enzymes and provide a blueprint for the future design of novel inhibitors that prevent degradation of misfolded proteins in genetic diseases.

Abstract
In the early secretory pathway, a distinct set of processing enzymes and family of lectins facilitate the folding and quality control of newly synthesized glycoproteins. In this regard, we recently identified a mechanism in which processing by endoplasmic reticulum mannosidase I, which attenuates the removal of glucose from asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, sorts terminally misfolded alpha(1)-antitrypsin for proteasome-mediated degradation in response to its abrogated physical dissociation from calnexin (Liu, Y., Choudhury, P., Cabral, C., and Sifers, R. N. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 5861-5867). In the present study, we examined the quality control of genetic variant PI Z, which undergoes inappropriate polymerization following biosynthesis. Here we show that in stably transfected hepatoma cells the additional processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides by endoplasmic reticulum mannosidase II partitions variant PI Z away from the conventional disposal mechanism in response to an arrested posttranslational interaction with calnexin. Intracellular disposal is accomplished by a nonproteasomal system that functions independently of cytosolic components but is sensitive to tyrosine phosphatase inhibition. The functional role of ER mannosidase II in glycoprotein quality control is discussed.

Abstract
The membrane anchoring of the following glycohydrolases of human erythrocyte plasma membranes was investigated: alpha- and beta-D-glucosidase, alpha- and beta-D-galactosidase, beta-D-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, alpha-D-mannosidase, and alpha-L-fucosidase. Optimized fluorimetric methods for the assay of these enzymes were set up. Treatment of the ghost preparation with 1.0 mol/l (optimal concentration) NaCl caused release ranging from 4.2% of alpha-D-glucosidase to 70% of beta-D-galactosidase; treatment with 0.4% (optimal concentration) Triton X-100 liberated 5.1% of beta-D-galactosidase to 89% of alpha-D-glucosidase; treatment with 1.75% (optimal concentration) octylglucoside yielded solubilization from 6.3% of beta-D-galactosidase to 85% of alpha-D-glucosidase. Treatment with phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C caused no liberation of any of the studied glycohydrolases. These results are consistent with the notion that the above glycohydrolases are differently anchored or associated with the erythrocyte plasma membrane, and provide the methodological basis for inspecting the occurrence of these enzymes in different membrane microdomains.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation pathways are relatively poorly characterized in insect cells. As part of an overall effort to address this problem, we previously isolated a cDNA from Sf9 cells that encodes an insect alpha1,2-mannosidase (SfManI) which requires calcium and is inhibited by 1-deoxymannojirimycin. In the present study, we have characterized the substrate specificity of SfManI. A recombinant baculovirus was used to express a GST-tagged secreted form of SfManI which was purified from the medium using an immobilized glutathione column. The purified SfManI was then incubated with oligosaccharide substrates and the resulting products were analyzed by HPLC. These analyses showed that SfManI rapidly converts Man(9)GlcNAc(2)to Man(6)Glc-NAc(2)isomer C, then more slowly converts Man(6)GlcNAc(2)isomer C to Man(5)GlcNAc(2). The slow step in the processing of Man(9)GlcNAc(2)to Man(5)GlcNAc(2)by SfManI is removal of the alpha1,2-linked mannose on the middle arm of Man(9)GlcNAc(2). In this respect, SfManI is similar to mammalian alpha1,2-mannosidases IA and IB. However, additional HPLC and(1)H-NMR analyses demonstrated that SfManI converts Man(9)GlcNAc(2)to Man(5)GlcNAc(2)primarily through Man(7)GlcNAc(2)isomer C, the archetypal Man(9)GlcNAc(2)missing the lower arm alpha1,2-linked mannose residues. In this respect, SfManI differs from mammalian alpha1,2-mannosidases IA and IB, and is the first alpha1,2-mannosidase directly shown to produce Man(7)GlcNAc(2)isomer C as a major processing intermediate.

Abstract
It is now well known that the addition and trimming of oligosaccharide side chains during post-translational modification play an important role in determining the fate of secretory, membrane, and lysosomal glycoproteins. Recent studies have suggested that trimming of oligosaccharide side chains also plays a role in the degradation of misfolded glycoproteins as a part of the quality control mechanism of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, we examined the effect of several inhibitors of carbohydrate processing on the fate of the misfolded secretory protein alpha1 antitrypsin Z. Retention of this misfolded glycoprotein in the ER of liver cells in the classical form of alpha1 antitrypsin (alpha1-AT) deficiency is associated with severe liver injury and hepatocellular carcinoma and lack of its secretion is associated with destructive lung disease/emphysema. The results show marked alterations in the fate of alpha1 antitrypsin Z (alpha1-ATZ). Indeed, one glucosidase inhibitor, castanospermine (CST), and two mannosidase inhibitors, kifunensine (KIF) and deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ), mediate marked increases in secretion of alpha1-ATZ by distinct mechanisms. The effects of these inhibitors on secretion have interesting implications for our understanding of the quality control apparatus of the ER. These inhibitors may also constitute models for development of additional drugs for chemoprophylaxis of liver injury and emphysema in patients with alpha1-AT deficiency.

Abstract
To gain insight into how sugar chain processing events modulate endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/proteasomal degradation we looked at human asialoglycoprotein receptor polypeptides H2a and H2b, variants which differ only by an extra pentapeptide (EGHRG) present in H2a. Membrane-bound H2a is a precursor of a soluble secreted form while H2b reaches the plasma membrane. Uncleaved precursor H2a molecules are completely retained in the ER and degraded as well as a portion of H2b. Inhibition of N-linked sugar chain mannose trimming stabilized both variants. In contrast, inhibition of glucose trimming with castanospermine greatly enhanced the degradation rate of H2a but not that of H2b. We studied a possible involvement of the ER chaperone calnexin, as inhibitors of glucose trimming are known to prevent calnexin binding. Incubation of cells with low concentrations of castanospermine (30 microg/ml) did not interfere with calnexin binding to H2a while causing the same accelerated degradation as high concentrations (>100 microg/ml) which did inhibit the association. Castanospermine treatment after calnexin binding blocked the dissociation of the chaperone but still caused accelerated degradation. The increased degradation could be blocked by a specific proteasome inhibitor, ZL(3)VS. Our results suggest that extensive mannose trimming or retention of glucose residues due to lack of glucose trimming are signals for ER/proteasomal degradation independent of interaction with calnexin.

Abstract
We have isolated a full-length cDNA clone encoding a human alpha1, 2-mannosidase that catalyzes the first mannose trimming step in the processing of mammalian Asn-linked oligosaccharides. This enzyme has been proposed to regulate the timing of quality control glycoprotein degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells. Human expressed sequence tag clones were identified by sequence similarity to mammalian and yeast oligosaccharide-processing mannosidases, and the full-length coding region of the putative mannosidase homolog was isolated by a combination of 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends and direct polymerase chain reaction from human placental cDNA. The open reading frame predicted a 663-amino acid type II transmembrane polypeptide with a short cytoplasmic tail (47 amino acids), a single transmembrane domain (22 amino acids), and a large COOH-terminal catalytic domain (594 amino acids). Northern blots detected a transcript of approximately 2.8 kilobase pairs that was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. Expression of an epitope-tagged full-length form of the human mannosidase homolog in normal rat kidney cells resulted in an ER pattern of localization. When a recombinant protein, consisting of protein A fused to the COOH-terminal luminal domain of the human mannosidase homolog, was expressed in COS cells, the fusion protein was found to cleave only a single alpha1,2-mannose residue from Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to produce a unique Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer (Man8B). The mannose cleavage reaction required divalent cations as indicated by inhibition with EDTA or EGTA and reversal of the inhibition by the addition of Ca(2+). The enzyme was also sensitive to inhibition by deoxymannojirimycin and kifunensine, but not swainsonine. The results on the localization, substrate specificity, and inhibitor profiles indicate that the cDNA reported here encodes an enzyme previously designated ER mannosidase I. Enzyme reactions using a combination of human ER mannosidase I and recombinant Golgi mannosidase IA indicated that that these two enzymes are complementary in their cleavage of Man(9)GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharides to Man(5)GlcNAc(2).

Abstract
Most T lymphocytes express on their surfaces a multisubunit receptor complex, the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) containing alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta molecules, that has been widely studied as a model system for protein quality control. Although the parameters of TCR assembly are relatively well established, little information exists regarding the stage(s) of TCR oligomerization where folding of TCR proteins is completed. Here we evaluated the modification of TCR glycoproteins by the endoplasmic reticulum folding sensor enzyme UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (GT) as a unique and sensitive indicator of how TCR subunits assembled into multisubunit complexes are perceived by the endoplasmic reticulum quality control system. These results demonstrate that all TCR subunits containing N-glycans were modified by GT and that TCR proteins were differentially reglucosylated during their assembly with partner TCR chains. Importantly, these data show that GT modification of most TCR subunits persisted until assembly of CD3alpha beta chains and formation of CD3-associated, disulfide-linked alpha beta heterodimers. These studies provide a novel evaluation of the folding status of TCR glycoproteins during their assembly into multisubunit complexes and are consistent with the concept that TCR folding is finalized convergent with formation of alpha beta delta epsilon gamma epsilon complexes.

Abstract
The role of conformation-based quality control in the early secretory pathway is to eliminate misfolded polypeptides and unassembled multimeric protein complexes from the endoplasmic reticulum, ensuring the deployment of only functional molecules to distal sites. The intracellular fate of terminally misfolded human alpha1-antitrypsin was examined in hepatoma cells to identify the functional role of asparagine-linked oligosaccharide modification in the selection of glycoproteins for degradation by the cytosolic proteasome. Proteasomal degradation required physical interaction with the molecular chaperone calnexin. Altered sedimentation of intracellular complexes following treatment with the specific proteasome inhibitor lactacystin, and in combination with mannosidase inhibition, revealed that the removal of mannose from attached oligosaccharides abrogates the release of misfolded alpha1-antitrypsin from calnexin prior to proteasomal degradation. Intracellular turnover was arrested with kifunensine, implicating the participation of endoplasmic reticulum mannosidase I in the disposal process. Accelerated degradation occurred in a mannosidase-independent manner and was arrested by lactacystin, in response to the posttranslational inhibition of glucosidase II, demonstrating that the attenuated removal of glucose from attached oligosaccharides functions as the underlying rate-limiting step in the proteasome-mediated pathway. A model is proposed in which the removal of mannose from multiple attached oligosaccharides directs calnexin in the selection of misfolded alpha1-antitrypsin for degradation by the proteasome.

Abstract
The catalytic domains of murine Golgi alpha1,2-mannosidases IA and IB that are involved in N-glycan processing were expressed as secreted proteins in P.pastoris . Recombinant mannosidases IA and IB both required divalent cations for activity, were inhibited by deoxymannojirimycin and kifunensine, and exhibited similar catalytic constants using Manalpha1,2Manalpha-O-CH3as substrate. Mannosidase IA was purified as a 50 kDa catalytically active soluble fragment and shown to be an inverting glycosidase. Recombinant mannosidases IA and IB were used to cleave Man9GlcNAc and the isomers produced were identified by high performance liquid chromatography and proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Man9GlcNAc was rapidly cleaved by both enzymes to Man6GlcNAc, followed by a much slower conversion to Man5GlcNAc. The same isomers of Man7GlcNAc and Man6GlcNAc were produced by both enzymes but different isomers of Man8GlcNAc were formed. When Man8GlcNAc (Man8B isomer) was used as substrate, rapid conversion to Man5GlcNAc was observed, and the same oligosaccharide isomer intermediates were formed by both enzymes. These results combined with proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy data demonstrate that it is the terminal alpha1, 2-mannose residue missing in the Man8B isomer that is cleaved from Man9GlcNAc at a much slower rate. When rat liver endoplasmic reticulum membrane extracts were incubated with Man9GlcNAc2, Man8GlcNAc2was the major product and Man8B was the major isomer. In contrast, rat liver Golgi membranes rapidly cleaved Man9GlcNAc2to Man6GlcNAc2and more slowly to Man5GlcNAc2. In this case all three isomers of Man8GlcNAc2were formed as intermediates, but a distinctive isomer, Man8A, was predominant. Antiserum to recombinant mannosidase IA immunoprecipitated an enzyme from Golgi extracts with the same specificity as recombinant mannosidase IA. These immunodepleted membranes were enriched in a Man9GlcNAc2to Man8GlcNAc2-cleaving activity forming predominantly the Man8B isomer. These results suggest that mannosidases IA and IB in Golgi membranes prefer the Man8B isomer generated by a complementary mannosidase that removes a single mannose from Man9GlcNAc2.

Abstract
In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an efficient "quality control system" operates to ensure that mutated and incorrectly folded proteins are selectively degraded. We are studying ER-associated degradation using a truncated variant of the rough ER-specific type I transmembrane glycoprotein, ribophorin I. The truncated polypeptide (RI332) consists of only the 332 amino-terminal amino acids of the protein corresponding to most of its luminal domain and, in contrast to the long-lived endogenous ribophorin I, is rapidly degraded. Here we show that the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in the destruction of the truncated ribophorin I. Thus, when RI332 that itself appears to be a substrate for ubiquitination was expressed in a mutant hamster cell line harboring a temperature-sensitive mutation in the ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1 affecting ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, the protein is dramatically stabilized at the restrictive temperature. Moreover, inhibitors of proteasome function effectively block the degradation of RI332. Cell fractionation experiments indicate that RI332 accumulates in the cytosol when degradation is prevented by proteasome inhibitors but remains associated with the lumen of the ER under ubiquitination-deficient conditions, suggesting that the release of the protein into the cytosol is ubiquitination-dependent. Accordingly, when ubiquitination is impaired, a considerable amount of RI332 binds to the ER chaperone calnexin and to the Sec61 complex that could effect retro-translocation of the polypeptide to the cytosol. Before proteolysis of RI332, its N-linked oligosaccharide is cleaved in two distinct steps, the first of which might occur when the protein is still associated with the ER, as the trimmed glycoprotein intermediate efficiently interacts with calnexin and Sec61. From our data we conclude that the steps that lead a newly synthesized luminal ER glycoprotein to degradation by the proteasome are tightly coupled and that especially ubiquitination plays a crucial role in the retro-translocation of the substrate protein for proteolysis to the cytosol.

Abstract
The transport of free polymannose-type oligosaccharides from the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol has been recently demonstrated (Moore,S.E.H., et al., 1995, EMBO J., 14, 6034-6042), but at present little is known of the characteristics of this process. Here, it is shown that inhibition of the transport of endogenously synthesized metabolically radiolabeled free oligosaccharides out of the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol of permeabilized HepG2 cells occurs when assays are conducted in the presence of mannose (IC50, 4.9 mM), or its derivatives modified at the first carbon (C1) of the sugar ring; alpha-methyl mannoside (IC50, 2.0 mM), mannoheptulose (IC50, 1.6 mM), and alpha-benzyl mannoside (IC50, 0.8 mM), whereas other monosaccharides (50 mM), differing from mannose at position; C2 (glucose), C3 (altrose), C4 (talose), C5 (l-rhamnose), and C6 (mannoheptose), have little effect. N-Acetylglucosamine does not inhibit oligosaccharide transport and, furthermore, although mannobioses and a mannotriose inhibit free oligosaccharide transport, di-N-acetylchitobiose is without effect. It is also shown that if the transport assay buffer is either depleted of calcium ions, or supplemented with the Ca2+/Mg2+ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin, or with calcium ionophores, free oligosaccharide transport out of the endoplasmic reticulum is inhibited. These results demonstrate that the terminal nonreducing mannosyl residues of free polymannose-type oligosaccharides and not their N-acetylglucosamine-containing reducing termini, play an important role in the interaction of the free oligosaccharide with the transport machinery, and that this transport process requires the presence of calcium sequestered in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.
