Abstract
Efficient degradation of by‐products of protein biogenesis maintains cellular fitness. Strikingly, the major biosynthetic compartment in eukaryotic cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lacks degradative machineries. Misfolded proteins in the ER are translocated to the cytosol for proteasomal degradation via ER‐associated degradation (ERAD). Alternatively, they are segregated in ER subdomains that are shed from the biosynthetic compartment and are delivered to endolysosomes under control of ER‐phagy receptors for ER‐to‐lysosome‐associated degradation (ERLAD). Demannosylation of N‐linked oligosaccharides targets terminally misfolded proteins for ERAD. How misfolded proteins are eventually marked for ERLAD is not known. Here, we show for ATZ and mutant Pro‐collagen that cycles of de‐/re‐glucosylation of selected N‐glycans and persistent association with Calnexin (CNX) are required and sufficient to mark ERAD‐resistant misfolded proteins for FAM134B‐driven lysosomal delivery. In summary, we show that mannose and glucose processing of N‐glycans are triggering events that target misfolded proteins in the ER to proteasomal (ERAD) and lysosomal (ERLAD) clearance, respectively, regulating protein quality control in eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Extensive trimming of mannose residues targets a misfolded glycoprotein for endoplasmic reticulum–associated degradation (ERAD). Surprisingly, overexpression of EDEM1 or its up-regulation by the unfolded protein response bypasses this requirement. Delivery to OS9 in the ER-derived quality control compartment and ERAD becomes mannose trimming–independent, accelerating glycoprotein disposal. Trimming of mannose residues from the N-linked oligosaccharide precursor is a stringent requirement for glycoprotein endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD). In this paper, we show that, surprisingly, overexpression of ER degradation–enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein 1 (EDEM1) or its up-regulation by IRE1, as occurs in the unfolded protein response, overrides this requirement and renders unnecessary the expression of ER mannosidase I. An EDEM1 deletion mutant lacking most of the carbohydrate-recognition domain also accelerated ERAD, delivering the substrate to XTP3-B and OS9. EDEM1 overexpression also accelerated the degradation of a mutant nonglycosylated substrate. Upon proteasomal inhibition, EDEM1 concentrated together with the ERAD substrate in the pericentriolar ER-derived quality control compartment (ERQC), where ER mannosidase I and ERAD machinery components are localized, including, as we show here, OS9. We suggest that a nascent glycoprotein can normally dissociate from EDEM1 and be rescued from ERAD by reentering calnexin-refolding cycles, a condition terminated by mannose trimming. At high EDEM1 levels, glycoprotein release is prevented and glycan interactions are no longer required, canceling the otherwise mandatory ERAD timing by mannose trimming and accelerating the targeting to degradation.

Abstract
Although the trimming of α1,2-mannose residues from precursor N-linked oligosaccharides is an essential step in the delivery of misfolded glycoproteins to endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD), the exact role of this trimming is unclear. EDEM1 was initially suggested to bind N-glycans after mannose trimming, a role presently ascribed to the lectins OS9 and XTP3-B, because of their in vitro affinities for trimmed oligosaccharides. We have shown before that ER mannosidase I (ERManI) is required for the trimming and concentrates together with the ERAD substrate and ERAD machinery in the pericentriolar ER-derived quality control compartment (ERQC). Inhibition of mannose trimming prevents substrate accumulation in the ERQC. Here, we show that the mannosidase inhibitor kifunensine or ERManI knockdown do not affect binding of an ERAD substrate glycoprotein to EDEM1. In contrast, substrate association with XTP3-B and with the E3 ubiquitin ligases HRD1 and SCF(Fbs2) was inhibited. Consistently, whereas the ERAD substrate partially colocalized upon proteasomal inhibition with EDEM1, HRD1, and Fbs2 at the ERQC, colocalization was repressed by mannosidase inhibition in the case of the E3 ligases but not for EDEM1. Interestingly, association and colocalization of the substrate with Derlin-1 was independent of mannose trimming. The HRD1 adaptor protein SEL1L had been suggested to play a role in N-glycan-dependent substrate delivery to OS9 and XTP3-B. However, substrate association with XTP3-B was still dependent on mannose trimming upon SEL1L knockdown. Our results suggest that mannose trimming enables delivery of a substrate glycoprotein from EDEM1 to late ERAD steps through association with XTP3-B.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a highly organized and specialized organelle optimized for the production of proteins. It is comprised of a highly interconnected network of tubules that contain a large set of resident proteins dedicated to the maturation and processing of proteins that traverse the eukaryotic secretory pathway. As protein maturation is an imperfect process, frequently resulting in misfolding and/or the formation of aggregates, proteins are subjected to a series of evaluation processes within the ER. Proteins deemed native are sorted for anterograde trafficking, while immature or non-native proteins are initially retained in the ER in an attempt to rescue the aberrant products. Terminally misfolded substrates are eventually targeted for turnover through the ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway to protect the cell from the release of a defective product. A clearer picture of the identity of the machinery involved in these quality control evaluation processes and their mechanisms of actions has emerged over the past decade.

Abstract
Over one-third of all newly synthesized polypeptides in eukaryotes interact with or insert into the membrane or the lumenal space of the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), an event that is essential for the subsequent folding, post-translational modification, assembly and targeting of these proteins. Consequently, the ER houses a large number of factors that catalyse protein maturation, but, in the event that maturation is aborted or inefficient, the resulting aberrant proteins may be selected for ERAD (ER-associated degradation). Many of the factors that augment protein biogenesis in the ER and that mediate ERAD substrate selection are molecular chaperones, some of which are heat- and/or stress-inducible and are thus known as Hsps (heat-shock proteins). But, regardless of whether they are constitutively expressed or are inducible, it has been assumed that all molecular chaperones function identically. As presented in this review, this assumption may be false. Instead, a growing body of evidence suggests that a chaperone might be involved in either folding or degrading a given substrate that transits through the ER. A deeper appreciation of this fact is critical because (i) the destruction of some ERAD substrates results in specific diseases, and (ii) altered ERAD efficiency might predispose individuals to metabolic disorders. Moreover, a growing number of chaperone-modulating drugs are being developed to treat maladies that arise from the synthesis of a unique mutant protein; therefore it is critical to understand how altering the activity of a single chaperone will affect the quality control of other nascent proteins that enter the ER.

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
Although much is known about alphaIIbbeta3 structure and function, relatively little is understood about its biogenesis. Thus, we studied the kinetics of pro-alphaIIb production and degradation, focusing on whether proteasomal degradation or the calnexin cycle participates in these processes. In pulse-chase analyses, the time to half-disappearance of pro-alphaIIb (t1/2) was the same in (1) HEK293 cells transfected with (a) alphaIIb plus beta3, (b) alphaIIb alone, (c) mutant V298FalphaIIb plus beta3, or (d) I374TalphaIIb plus beta3; and (2) murine wild-type and beta3-null megakaryocytes. Inhibition of the proteasome prolonged the t1/2 values in both HEK293 cells and murine megakaryocytes. Calnexin coprecipitated with alphaIIb from HEK293 cells transfected with alphaIIb alone, alphaIIb plus beta3, and V298FalphaIIb plus beta3. For proteins in the calnexin cycle, removal of the terminal mannose residue of the middle branch of the core N-linked glycan results in degradation. Inhibition of the enzyme that removes this mannose residue prevented pro-alphaIIb degradation in beta3-null murine megakaryocytes. alphaIIb contains a conserved glycosylation consensus sequence at N15, and an N15Q mutation prevented pro-alphaIIb maturation, complex formation, and degradation. Our findings suggest that pro-alphaIIb engages the calnexin cycle via the N15 glycan and that failure of pro-alphaIIb to complex normally with beta3 results in proteasomal degradation.

Abstract
Biosynthesis and folding of multidomain transmembrane proteins is a complex process. Structural fidelity is monitored by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control involving the molecular chaperone calnexin. Retained misfolded proteins undergo ER-associated degradation (ERAD) through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Our data show that the major degradation pathway of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) with F508del (the most frequent mutation found in patients with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis) from the ER is independent of calnexin. Moreover, our results demonstrate that inhibition of mannose-processing enzymes, unlike most substrate glycoproteins, does not stabilize F508del-CFTR, although wild-type (wt) CFTR is drastically stabilized under the same conditions. Together, our data support a novel model by which wt and F508del-CFTR undergo ERAD from two distinct checkpoints, the mutant being disposed of independently of N-glycosidic residues and calnexin, probably by the Hsc70/Hsp70 machinery, and wt CFTR undergoing glycan-mediated ERAD.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality-control machinery maintains the fidelity of the maturation process by sorting aberrant proteins for ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), a process requiring retrotranslocation from the ER lumen to the cytosol and degradation by the proteasome. Here, we assessed the role of N-linked glycans in ERAD by monitoring the degradation of wild-type (Tyr) and albino mutant (Tyr(C85S)) tyrosinase. Initially, mutant tyrosinase was established as a genuine ERAD substrate using intact melanocyte and semi-permeabilized cell systems. Inhibiting mannose trimming or accumulating Tyr(C85S) in a monoglucosylated form led to its stabilization, supporting a role for lectin chaperones in ER retention and proteasomal degradation. In contrast, ablating the lectin chaperone interactions by preventing glucose trimming caused a rapid disappearance of tyrosinase, initially due to the formation of protein aggregates, which were subsequently degraded by the proteasome. The co-localization of aggregated tyrosinase with protein disulfide isomerase and BiP, but not calnexin, supports an ER organization, which aids in protein maturation and degradation. Based on these studies, we propose a model of tyrosinase degradation in which interactions between N-linked glycans and lectin chaperones help to minimize tyrosinase aggregation and also target non-native substrates for retro-translocation and subsequent degradation.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of misfolded or misprocessed glycoproteins in mammalian cells is prevented by inhibitors of class I alpha-mannosidases implicating mannose trimming from the precursor oligosaccharide Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 as an essential step in this pathway. However, the extent of mannose removal has not been determined. We show here that glycoproteins subject to endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation undergo reglucosylation, deglucosylation, and mannose trimming to yield Man6GlcNAc2 and Man5GlcNAc2. These structures lack the mannose residue that is the acceptor of glucose transferred by UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase. This could serve as a mechanism for removal of the glycoproteins from folding attempts catalyzed by cycles of reglucosylation and calnexin/calreticulin binding and result in targeting of these molecules for proteasomal degradation.

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
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as a way-station during the biogenesis of nearly all secreted proteins, and associated with or housed within the ER are factors required to catalyze their import into the ER and facilitate their folding. To ensure that only properly folded proteins are secreted and to temper the effects of cellular stress, the ER can target aberrant proteins for degradation and/or adapt to the accumulation of misfolded proteins. Molecular chaperones play critical roles in each of these phenomena.

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
Degradation of proteins that, because of improper or suboptimal processing, are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) involves retrotranslocation to reach the cytosolic ubiquitin-proteasome machinery. We found that substrates of this pathway, the precursor of human asialoglycoprotein receptor H2a and free heavy chains of murine class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC), accumulate in a novel preGolgi compartment that is adjacent to but not overlapping with the centrosome, the Golgi complex, and the ER-to-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). On its way to degradation, H2a associated increasingly after synthesis with the ER translocon Sec61. Nevertheless, it remained in the secretory pathway upon proteasomal inhibition, suggesting that its retrotranslocation must be tightly coupled to the degradation process. In the presence of proteasomal inhibitors, the ER chaperones calreticulin and calnexin, but not BiP, PDI, or glycoprotein glucosyltransferase, concentrate in the subcellular region of the novel compartment. The "quality control" compartment is possibly a subcompartment of the ER. It depends on microtubules but is insensitive to brefeldin A. We discuss the possibility that it is also the site for concentration and retrotranslocation of proteins that, like the mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, are transported to the cytosol, where they form large aggregates, the "aggresomes."

Abstract
In order to study the role of N-glycans in the ER-associated degradation of unassembled immunoglobulin light (Ig L) chains, we introduced N-glycan acceptor sites into the variable domain of the murine Ig L chain kappaNS1, which is unfolded in unassembled molecules. We investigated the fate of kappaNS1 glycosylated at position 70 (K70) and of a double mutant (kappa18/70) in stably transfected HeLa cells. Degradation of both chains was impaired by lactacystin, a specific inhibitor of the proteasome. The mannosidase inhibitor dMNJ also blocked degradation in a step preceding proteasome action, as did two protein synthesis inhibitors, cycloheximide and puromycin. In contrast, ER glucosidase inhibitors dramatically accelerated the degradation of the chains when added either pre- or posttranslationally. The accelerated degradation was sensitive to lactacystin, dMNJ and cycloheximide, too. None of these drugs, except lactacystin, affected the degradation of unglycosylated kappaNS1 chains. We conclude that ER mannosidases and proteasome activities, but not glucose trimming (and therefore, most likely not the calnexin/calreticulin UDP:glucose glycoprotein glucosyl transferase cycle), are essential for ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of soluble glycoproteins. A role for a short-lived protein, acting before or simultaneously to ER mannosidases, is suggested.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] is a component of atherogenic lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. Differences in the extent of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated degradation (ERAD) of apo(a) allelic variants contribute to the >1000-fold variation in plasma Lp(a) levels. Using human apo(a) transgenic mouse hepatocytes, we analyzed the role of the ER chaperones calnexin (CNX) and calreticulin (CRT), and ER mannosidase I in apo(a) intracellular targeting. Co-immunoprecipitation and pulse-chase analyses revealed similar kinetics of apo(a) interaction with CNX and CRT, peaking 15-30 min after apo(a) synthesis. Trapping of apo(a) N-linked glycans in their monoglucosylated form, by posttranslational inhibition of ER glucosidase activity with castanospermine (CST), enhanced apo(a)-CNX/CRT interaction and prevented both apo(a) secretion and ERAD. Delay of CST addition until 20 or 30 min after apo(a) synthesis [when no apo(a) had yet undergone degradation or Golgi-specific carbohydrate modification] allowed a portion of apo(a) to be secreted or degraded. These results are consistent with a transient apo(a)-CNX/CRT association and suggest that events downstream of CNX/CRT interaction determine apo(a) intracellular targeting. Inhibition of ER mannosidase I with deoxymannojirimycin or kifunensine had no effect on apo(a) secretion, but inhibited proteasome-mediated apo(a) ERAD even under conditions where apo(a)-CNX/CRT interaction was prevented. These results suggest a role for an additional, mannose-specific, ER lectin in targeting secretory proteins to the proteasome for destruction.
