Friebe S, Deuquet J, van der Goot FG. Differential dependence on N-glycosylation of anthrax toxin receptors CMG2 and TEM8. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0119864.

Abstract
ANTXR 1 and 2, also known as TEM8 and CMG2, are two type I membrane proteins, which have been extensively studied for their role as anthrax toxin receptors, but with a still elusive physiological function. Here we have analyzed the importance of N-glycosylation on folding, trafficking and ligand binding of these closely related proteins. We find that TEM8 has a stringent dependence on N-glycosylation. The presence of at least one glycan on each of its two extracellular domains, the vWA and Ig-like domains, is indeed necessary for efficient trafficking to the cell surface. In the absence of any N-linked glycans, TEM8 fails to fold correctly and is recognized by the ER quality control machinery. Expression of N-glycosylation mutants reveals that CMG2 is less vulnerable to sugar loss. The absence of N-linked glycans in one of the extracellular domains indeed has little impact on folding, trafficking or receptor function of the wild type protein expressed in tissue culture cells. N-glycans do, however, seem required in primary fibroblasts from human patients. Here, the presence of N-linked sugars increases the tolerance to mutations in cmg2 causing the rare genetic disease Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome. It thus appears that CMG2 glycosylation provides a buffer towards genetic variation by promoting folding of the protein in the ER lumen.

Abstract
The synthesis of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that exceeds the protein folding capacity of this organelle is a frequent cause of cellular dysfunction and disease. An example of such a disease is alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency, caused by destabilizing mutations in this glycoprotein. It is considered that the mutant proteins are recognized in the ER by lectins and are subsequently degraded through the proteasome, leading to a deficiency in this enzyme in the afflicted patients. We previously established a Drosophila model of this disease by overexpressing the null Hong Kong (NHK) allele of this gene and found that the Drosophila lectin, ER degradation-enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein 2 (EDEM2), can accelerate the degradation of A1AT when overexpressed. NHK is a rare allele, and in this study, we investigated in depth the mechanisms through which Drosophila EDEMs affect the degradation of the Z variant, which is the predominant disease allele. Specifically, we report that the Z allele does not activate ER stress signaling as prominently as the NHK allele, but similarly requires both Drosophila EDEM1 and EDEM2 for the degradation of the protein. We demonstrate that EDEMs are required for their ubiquitination, and without EDEMs, glycosylated A1AT mutants accumulate in cells. These results support the role of the EDEM-mediated ubiquitination of the alpha-1-antitrypsin Z (ATZ) allele, and establish a Drosophila model for the study of this protein and disease.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase; Ngly1 in mice) is a deglycosylating enzyme involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) process. The precise role of Ngly1 in the ERAD process, however, remains unclear in mammals. The findings reported herein, using mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells, that the ablation of Ngly1 causes dysregulation of the ERAD process. Interestingly, not only delayed degradation but also the deglycosylation of a misfolded glycoprotein was observed in Ngly1(-/-) MEF cells. The unconventional deglycosylation reaction was found to be catalyzed by the cytosolic endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase), generating aggregation-prone N-GlcNAc proteins. The ERAD dysregulation in cells lacking Ngly1 was restored by the additional knockout of ENGase gene. Thus, our study underscores the functional importance of Ngly1 in the ERAD process and provides a potential mechanism underlying the phenotypic consequences of a newly emerging genetic disorder caused by mutation of the human NGLY1 gene.

Abstract
Ricin A chain (RTA) undergoes retrograde trafficking and is postulated to use components of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated degradation (ERAD) pathway to enter the cytosol to depurinate ribosomes. However, it is not known how RTA evades degradation by the proteasome after entry into the cytosol. We observed two distinct trafficking patterns among the precursor forms of wild type RTA and nontoxic variants tagged with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) at their C-termini in yeast. One group, which included wild type RTA, underwent ER-to-vacuole transport, while another group, which included the G83D variant, formed aggregates in the ER and was not transported to the vacuole. Peptide: N-glycanase (Png1), which catalyzes degradation of unfolded glycoproteins in the ERAD pathway affected depurination activity and toxicity of wild type RTA and G83D variant differently. PreG83D variant was deglycosylated by Png1 on the ER membrane, which reduced its depurination activity and toxicity by promoting its degradation. In contrast, wild type preRTA was deglycosylated by the free pool of Png1 in the cytosol, which increased its depurination activity, possibly by preventing its degradation. These results indicate that wild type RTA has a distinct requirement for Png1 compared to the G83D variant and is deglycosylated by Png1 in the cytosol as a possible strategy to avoid degradation by the ERAD pathway to reach the ribosome.

Abstract
N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) is a conserved enzyme that is responsible for the deglycosylation of misfolded N-glycosylated proteins in the cytoplasm prior to their proteasome-mediated degradation. Disruption of this degradation process has been associated with various neurologic diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Here, we describe two siblings with neuromotor impairment, apparent intellectual disability, corneal opacities, and neuropathy who were found to possess a novel homozygous frame-shift mutation due to a 4 base pair deletion in NGLY1 (c.1533_1536delTCAA, p.Asn511LysfsX51). We hypothesize that this mutation likely limits the capability of neuronal cells to respond to stress due to accumulation of misfolded proteins, thereby impairing their survival and resulting in progressive loss of neurological function.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) is a universally important process among eukaryotic cells. ERAD is necessary to preserve cell integrity since the accumulation of defective proteins results in diseases associated with neurological dysfunction, cancer, and infections. This process involves recognition of misfolded or misassembled proteins that have been translated in association with ER membranes. Recognition of ERAD substrates leads to their extraction through the ER membrane (retrotranslocation or dislocation), ubiquitination, and destruction by cytosolic proteasomes. This review focuses on ERAD and its components as well as how viruses use this process to promote their replication and to avoid the immune response.

Abstract
Protein homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells is maintained by a conserved quality control system named ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The ERAD system retains misfolded or unassembled polypeptides in the ER, retrotranslocates them into the cytosol for degradation by the ubiquitin proteasome system. Central to the ERAD process is the AAA+ (ATPase associated with various cellular activities), ATPase p97/VCP (also known as Cdc48p in yeast), and the proteasome. p97/VCP couples ATP hydrolysis to the extraction of misfolded proteins from retrotranslocation sites and subsequently targets them for degradation, but how p97/VCP hands substrate off to the proteasome is unclear. Recent studies suggest that p97/VCP may either directly translocate polypeptides into the proteolytic compartment of the 20S subcomplex, or use a set of shuttling factors to deliver retrotranslocated polypeptides to the proteasome.

Abstract
ER degradation-enhancing α-mannosidase-like 1 protein (EDEM1) is involved in the routing of misfolded glycoproteins for degradation in the cytoplasm. Previously, we reported that EDEM1 leaves the endoplasmic reticulum via non-COPII vesicles (Zuber et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 104:4407-4412, 2007) and becomes degraded by basal autophagy (Le Fourn et al. in Cell Mol Life Sci 66:1434-1445, 2009). However, it is unknown which type of autophagy is involved. Likewise, how EDEM1 is targeted to autophagosomes remains elusive. We now show that EDEM1 is degraded by selective autophagy. It colocalizes with the selective autophagy cargo receptors p62/SQSTM1, neighbor of BRCA1 gene 1 (NBR1) and autophagy-linked FYVE (Alfy) protein, and becomes engulfed by autophagic isolation membranes. The interaction with p62/SQSTM1 and NBR1 is required for routing of EDEM1 to autophagosomes since it can be blocked by short inhibitory RNA knockdown of the cargo receptors. Furthermore, p62/SQSTM1 interacts only with deglycosylated EDEM1 that is also ubiquitinated. The deglycosylation of EDEM1 occurs by the cytosolic peptide N-glycanase and is a prerequisite for interaction and aggregate formation with p62/SQSTM1 as demonstrated by the effect of peptide N-glycanase inhibitors on the formation of protein aggregates. Conversely, aggregation of p62/SQSTM1 and EDEM1 occurs independent of cytoplasmic histone deacetylase. These data provide novel insight into the mechanism of autophagic degradation of the ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) component EDEM1 and disclose hitherto unknown parallels with the clearance of cytoplasmic aggregates of misfolded proteins by selective autophagy.

Abstract
Mulitmeric cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) represent the largest class of ubiquitin ligases in eukaryotes. However, most CRL ubiquitylation pathways remain uncharacterized. CRLs control a myriad of functions by catalyzing mono- or poly-ubiquitylation of target proteins. Recently, novel CRLs have been identified along the secretory pathway where they modify substrates involved in diverse cellular processes such as vesicle coat assembly and cell cycle progression. This review discusses our current understanding of CRL ubiquitylation within the secretory pathway, with special emphasis on the emerging role of the Golgi as a ubiquitylation platform. CRLs are also implicated in endosome function, where their specific roles are less well understood.

Abstract
Secretory and membrane (glyco)proteins are subject to quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to ensure that only functional proteins reach their destination. Proteins deemed terminally misfolded and hence functionally defective may be dislocated to the cytosol, where the proteasome degrades them. What we know about this process stems mostly from overexpression of tagged misfolded proteins, or from situations where viruses have hijacked the quality control machinery to their advantage. We know of only very few endogenous substrates of ER quality control, most of which are degraded as part of a signaling pathway, such as Insig-1, but such examples do not necessarily represent terminally misfolded proteins. Here we show that endogenous dislocation clients are captured specifically in association with the cytosolic chaperone BAG6, or retrieved en masse via their glycan handle.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of synthesis for nearly one-third of the eukaryotic proteome and is accordingly endowed with specialized machinery to ensure that proteins deployed to the distal secretory pathway are correctly folded and assembled into native oligomeric complexes. Proteins failing to meet this conformational standard are degraded by ER-associated degradation (ERAD), a complex process through which folding-defective proteins are selected and ultimately degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. ERAD proceeds through four tightly coupled steps involving substrate selection, dislocation across the ER membrane, covalent conjugation with polyubiquitin, and proteasomal degradation. The ERAD machinery shows a modular organization with central ER membrane-embedded ubiquitin ligases linking components responsible for recognition in the ER lumen to the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the cytoplasm. The core ERAD machinery is highly conserved among eukaryotes and much of our basic understanding of ERAD organization has been derived from genetic and biochemical studies of yeast. In this article we discuss how the core ERAD machinery is organized in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is a constitutive process that identifies misfolded proteins in the ER and shuttles them to the cytosol, where they can be degraded by the proteasome. The accumulation of misfolded proteins can be catastrophic at both the cellular and organismal level. Although the players involved and mechanistic details of ERAD are being characterized, much remains to be learned. Because of the complexity of the pathway, experimental studies generally require labor-intensive biochemical techniques. Here, we report the development of a system to analyze ERAD based on mutants of split or intact Venus fluorescent protein for which fluorescence depends on enzymatic deglycosylation. We have generated variants that only become fluorescent when they are first glycosylated in the ER and subsequently deglycosylated after retrotranslocation into the cytosol. The E3 ubiquitin ligase HMG-coA reductase degradation 1 homolog (Hrd1) and, consistent with the demonstrated glycosylation/deglycosylation requirement, the cytosolic deglycosylating enzyme peptide:N'glycanase are both required for fluorescence. Furthermore, although these deglycosylation-dependent fluorescent proteins are themselves ERAD substrates, they can also be fused to additional ERAD substrates to interrogate substrate-specific pathways. To validate the system we performed a genomewide siRNA screen that successfully identified known ERAD factors such as Hrd1; homocysteine-inducible, endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducible, ubiquitin-like domain member 1 (HERP); sel-1 suppressor of lin-12-like (SEL1L); and p97. These tools should greatly facilitate the identification of ERAD components and investigation of the mechanisms involved in this critical pathway.

Abstract
Human lysyl oxidase-like 2 (hLOXL2) is highly up-regulated in metastatic breast cancer cells and tissues and induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, the first step of metastasis/invasion. hloxl2 encodes four N-terminal scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domains and the highly conserved C-terminal lysyl oxidase (LOX) catalytic domain. Here, we assessed the extent of the post-translational modifications of hLOXL2 using truncated recombinant proteins produced in Drosophila S2 cells. The recombinant proteins are soluble, in contrast to LOX, which is consistently reported to require 2-6 m urea for solubilization. The recombinant proteins also show activity in tropoelastin oxidation. After phenylhydrazine derivatization and trypsin digestion, we used mass spectrometry to identify peptides containing the derivatized lysine tyrosylquinone cross-link at Lys-653 and Tyr-689, as well as N-linked glycans at Asn-455 and Asn-644. Disruption of N-glycosylation by site-directed mutagenesis or tunicamycin treatment completely inhibited secretion so that only small quantities of inclusion bodies were detected. The N-glycosylation site at Asn-644 in the LOX catalytic domain is not conserved in human LOX (hLOX), although the LOX catalytic domain of hLOX shares ∼50% identity and ∼70% homology with hLOXL2. The catalytic domain of hLOX was not secreted from S2 cells using the same expression system. These results suggest that the N-glycan at Asn-644 of hLOXL2 enhances the solubility and stability of the LOX catalytic domain.

Abstract
Some nascent proteins that fold within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) never reach their native state. Misfolded proteins are removed from the folding machinery, dislocated from the ER into the cytosol, and degraded in a series of pathways collectively referred to as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Distinct ERAD pathways centered on different E3 ubiquitin ligases survey the range of potential substrates. We now know many of the components of the ERAD machinery and pathways used to detect substrates and target them for degradation. Much less is known about the features used to identify terminally misfolded conformations and the broader role of these pathways in regulating protein half-lives.

Abstract
Protein folding is a complex, error-prone process that often results in an irreparable protein by-product. These by-products can be recognized by cellular quality control machineries and targeted for proteasome-dependent degradation. The folding of proteins in the secretory pathway adds another layer to the protein folding "problem," as the endoplasmic reticulum maintains a unique chemical environment within the cell. In fact, a growing number of diseases are attributed to defects in secretory protein folding, and many of these by-products are targeted for a process known as endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Since its discovery, research on the mechanisms underlying the ERAD pathway has provided new insights into how ERAD contributes to human health during both normal and diseases states. Links between ERAD and disease are evidenced from the loss of protein function as a result of degradation, chronic cellular stress when ERAD fails to keep up with misfolded protein production, and the ability of some pathogens to coopt the ERAD pathway. The growing number of ERAD substrates has also illuminated the differences in the machineries used to recognize and degrade a vast array of potential clients for this pathway. Despite all that is known about ERAD, many questions remain, and new paradigms will likely emerge. Clearly, the key to successful disease treatment lies within defining the molecular details of the ERAD pathway and in understanding how this conserved pathway selects and degrades an innumerable cast of substrates.

Abstract
PUB domains are identified in several proteins functioning in the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system and considered as p97-binding modules. To address the further functional roles of these domains, we herein characterized the interactions of the PUB domain of peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) with Ub and Ub-like domain (UBL) of the proteasome shuttle factor HR23. NMR data indicated that PNGase-PUB exerts an acceptor preferentially for HR23-UBL, electrostatically interacting with the UBL surface employed for binding to other Ub/UBL motifs. Our findings imply that PNGase-PUB serves not only as p97-binding module but also as a possible activator of HR23 in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND N-linked oligosaccharides operate as tags for protein quality control, consigning glycoproteins to different fates, i.e. folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), vesicular transport between the ER and the Golgi complex, and ER-associated degradation of glycoproteins, by interacting with a panel of intracellular lectins in the early secretory pathway. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the molecular and structural basis for glycoprotein-fate determination in cells that is achieved through the actions of the intracellular lectins and its partner proteins. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Cumulative frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) data demonstrated that the intracellular lectins exhibit distinct sugar-binding specificity profiles. The glycotopes recognized by these lectins as fate determinants are embedded in the triantennary structures of the high-mannose-type oligosaccharides and are exposed upon trimming of the outer glucose and mannose residues during the N-glycan processing pathway. Furthermore, recently emerged 3D structural data offer mechanistic insights into functional interplay between an intracellular lectin and its binding partner in the early secretory pathway. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Structural biology approaches in conjunction with FAC methods provide atomic pictures of the mechanisms behind the glycoprotein-fate determination in cells. This article is a part of a Special issue entitled: Glycoproteomics.

Abstract
The degradation of misfolded secretory proteins is ultimately mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the cytoplasm, therefore endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) substrates must be dislocated across the ER membrane through a process driven by the AAA ATPase p97/VCP. Derlins recruit p97/VCP and have been proposed to be part of the dislocation machinery. Here we report that Derlins are inactive members of the rhomboid family of intramembrane proteases and bind p97/VCP through C-terminal SHP boxes. Human Derlin-1 harboring mutations within the rhomboid domain stabilized mutant α-1 antitrypsin (NHK) at the cytosolic face of the ER membrane without disrupting the p97/VCP interaction. We propose that substrate interaction and p97/VCP recruitment are separate functions that are essential for dislocation and can be assigned respectively to the rhomboid domain and the C terminus of Derlin-1. These data suggest that intramembrane proteolysis and protein dislocation share unexpected mechanistic features.

Abstract
Background White leaf No.1 is a typical albino tea cultivar grown in China and it has received increased attention in recent years due to the fact that white leaves containing a high level of amino acids, which are very important components affecting the quality of tea drink. According to the color of its leaves, the development of this tea cultivar is divided into three stages: the pre-albinistic stage, the albinistic stage and the regreening stage. To understand the intricate mechanism of periodic albinism, a comparative proteomic approach based on two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry was adopted first time to identify proteins that changed in abundance during the three developmental periods. Results The 2-DE results showed that the expression level of 61 protein spots varied markedly during the three developmental stages. To analyze the functions of the significantly differentially expressed protein spots, 30 spots were excised from gels and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry. Of these, 26 spots were successfully identified. All identified protein spots were involved in metabolism of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, photosynthesis, protein processing, stress defense and RNA processing, indicating these physiological processes may play crucial roles in the periodic albinism. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis was used to assess the transcriptional level of differentially expressed proteins. In addition, the ultrastructural studies revealed that the etioplast-chloroplast transition in the leaf cell of White leaf No. 1 was inhibited and the grana in the chloroplast was destroyed at the albinistic stage. Conclusions In this work, the proteomic analysis revealed that some proteins may have important roles in the molecular events involved in periodic albinism of White leaf No. 1 and identificated many attractive candidates for further investigation. In addition, the ultrastructural studies revealed that the change in leaf color of White leaf No. 1 might be a consequence of suppression of the etioplast-chloroplast transition and damage to grana in the chloroplast induced by temperature. These results provide much useful information to improve our understanding of the mechanism of albinism in the albino tea cultivar.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-dependent processes control much of cellular physiology. We show that expression of a highly active, Epstein-Barr virus-derived deubiquitylating enzyme (EBV-DUB) blocks proteasomal degradation of cytosolic and ER-derived proteins by preemptive removal of ubiquitin from proteasome substrates, a treatment less toxic than the use of proteasome inhibitors. Recognition of misfolded proteins in the ER lumen, their dislocation to the cytosol, and degradation are usually tightly coupled but can be uncoupled by the EBV-DUB: a misfolded glycoprotein that originates in the ER accumulates in association with cytosolic chaperones as a deglycosylated intermediate. Our data underscore the necessity of a DUB activity for completion of the dislocation reaction and provide a new means of inhibition of proteasomal proteolysis with reduced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Autocatalytic processing of the Hedgehog ligand from its precursor protein relies on protein disulfide isomerase and ER-associated degradation. The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has important functions during metazoan development. The Hh ligand is generated from a precursor by self-cleavage, which requires a free cysteine in the C-terminal part of the protein and results in the production of the cholesterol-modified ligand and a C-terminal fragment. In this paper, we demonstrate that these reactions occur in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The catalytic cysteine needs to form a disulfide bridge with a conserved cysteine, which is subsequently reduced by protein disulfide isomerase. Generation of the C-terminal fragment is followed by its ER-associated degradation (ERAD), providing the first example of an endogenous luminal ERAD substrate that is constitutively degraded. This process requires the ubiquitin ligase Hrd1, its partner Sel1, the cytosolic adenosine triphosphatase p97, and degradation by the proteasome. Processing-defective mutants of Hh are degraded by the same ERAD components. Thus, processing of the Hh precursor competes with its rapid degradation, explaining the impaired Hh signaling of processing-defective mutants, such as those causing human holoprosencephaly.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic α-mannosidase (Man2C1) has been implicated in non-lysosomal catabolism of free oligosaccharides derived from N-linked glycans accumulated in the cytosol. Suppression of Man2C1 expression reportedly induces apoptosis in various cell lines, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. Development of a specific inhibitor for Man2C1 is critical to understanding its biological significance. In this study, we identified a plant-derived alkaloid, calystegine B(3), as a potent specific inhibitor for Man2C1 activity. Biochemical enzyme assay revealed that calystegine B(3) was a highly specific inhibitor for Man2C1 among various α-mannosidases prepared from rat liver. Consistent with this in vitro result, an in vivo experiment also showed that treatment of mammalian-derived cultured cells with this compound resulted in drastic change in both structure and quantity of free oligosaccharides in the cytosol, whereas no apparent change was seen in cell-surface oligosaccharides. Calystegine B(3) could thus serve as a potent tool for the development of a highly specific in vivo inhibitor for Man2C1.

Abstract
Background Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control mechanisms are part of a comprehensive system to manage cell stress. The flux of molecules is monitored to retain folding intermediates and target misfolded molecules to ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathways. The mechanisms of sorting remain unclear. While some proteins are retained statically, the classical model substrate CPY* is found in COPII transport vesicles, suggesting a retrieval mechanism for retention. However, its management can be even more dynamic. If ERAD is saturated under stress, excess CPY* traffics to the vacuole for degradation. These observations suggest that misfolded proteins might display different signals for their management. Methodology/Principal Findings Here, we report the existence of a functional ER exit signal in the pro-domain of CPY*. Compromising its integrity causes ER retention through exclusion from COPII vesicles. The signal co-exists with other signals used for retention and degradation. Physiologically, the export signal is important for stress tolerance. Disabling it converts a benign protein into one that is intrinsically cytotoxic. Conclusions/Significance These data reveal the remarkable interplay between opposing signals embedded within ERAD substrate molecules and the mechanisms that decipher them. Our findings demonstrate the diversity of mechanisms deployed for protein quality control and maintenance of protein homeostasis.

Abstract
Mutations in the human kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) membrane glycoprotein cause impaired urine acidification resulting in distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). Dominant and recessive dRTA kAE1 mutants exhibit distinct trafficking defects with retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi, or mislocalization to the apical membrane in polarized epithelial cells. We examined the interaction of kAE1 with the quality control system responsible for the folding of membrane glycoproteins and the retention and degradation of misfolded mutants. Using small molecule inhibitors to disrupt chaperone interactions, two functional, dominant kAE1 mutants (R589H and R901stop), retained in the ER and targeted to the proteasome for degradation by ubiquitination, were rescued to the basolateral membrane of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. In contrast, the Golgi-localized, recessive G701D and the severely misfolded, ER-retained dominant Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO) mutants were not rescued. These results show that functional dRTA mutants are retained in the ER due to their interaction with molecular chaperones, particularly calnexin, and that disruption of these interactions can promote their escape from the ER and cell surface rescue.

Abstract
Background Peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) is an enzyme which releases N-linked glycans from glycopeptides/glycoproteins. This enzyme plays a role in the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway in yeast and mice, but the biological importance of this activity remains unknown. Principal Findings In this study, we characterized the ortholog of cytoplasmic PNGases, PNGase-like (Pngl), in Drosophila melanogaster. Pngl was found to have a molecular weight of ∼74K and was mainly localized in the cytosol. Pngl lacks a CXXC motif that is critical for enzymatic activity in other species and accordingly did not appear to possess PNGase activity, though it still retains carbohydrate-binding activity. We generated microdeletions in the Pngl locus in order to investigate the functional importance of this protein in vivo. Elimination of Pngl led to a serious developmental delay or arrest during the larval and pupal stages, and surviving mutant adult males and females were frequently sterile. Most importantly, these phenotypes were rescued by ubiquitous expression of Pngl, clearly indicating that those phenotypic consequences were indeed due to the lack of functional Pngl. Interestingly, a putative “catalytic-inactive” mutant could not rescue the growth-delay phenotype, indicating that a biochemical activity of this protein is important for its biological function. Conclusion Pngl was shown to be inevitable for the proper developmental transition and the biochemical properties other than deglycosylation activity is important for its biological function.

Abstract
Sterol-induced binding to Insigs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) allows for ubiquitination of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. This ubiquitination marks reductase for recognition by the ATPase VCP/p97, which mediates extraction and delivery of reductase from ER membranes to cytosolic 26 S proteasomes for degradation. Here, we report that reductase becomes dislocated from ER membranes into the cytosol of sterol-treated cells. This dislocation exhibits an absolute requirement for the actions of Insigs and VCP/p97. Reductase also appears in a buoyant fraction of sterol-treated cells that co-purifies with lipid droplets, cytosolic organelles traditionally regarded as storage depots for neutral lipids such as triglycerides and cholesteryl esters. Genetic, biochemical, and localization studies suggest a model in which reductase is dislodged into the cytosol from an ER subdomain closely associated with lipid droplets.

Abstract
Peptide:N-glycanases (PNGases) are cytoplasmic de-N-glycosylation enzymes that have been shown in cultured cells to facilitate the degradation of misfolded glycoproteins during endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation and in the processing of major histocompatibility complex class I antigens for proper cell-surface presentation. The gene encoding PNGase activity was initially described in budding yeast (Png1p) and shown to be highly conserved from yeast to humans, but physiological roles in higher organisms have not been elucidated. Here we describe peripheral nervous system defects associated with the first loss-of-function mutations in an animal PNGase. Mutations in png-1, the Caenorhabditis elegans PNGase ortholog, result in an increase in axon branching during morphogenesis of the vulval egg-laying organ and egg-laying behavior changes. Neuronal defects include an increase in the branched morphology of the VC4 and VC5 egg-laying neurons as well as inappropriate branches from axons that run adjacent to the vulva but would normally remain unbranched. We show that png-1 is widely expressed and can act from both neurons and epithelial cells to restrict axon branching. A deletion allele of the DNA repair gene rad-23, orthologs of which are known to physically interact with PNGases in yeast and mammals, displays similar axon branching defects and genetic interactions with png-1. In summary, our analysis reveals a novel developmental role for a PNGase and Rad-23 in the regulation of neuronal branching during organ innervation.

Abstract
Recognition and elimination of misfolded proteins are essential cellular processes. More than thirty percent of the cellular proteins are proteins of the secretory pathway. They fold in the lumen or membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum from where they are sorted to their site of action. The folding process, as well as any refolding after cell stress, depends on chaperone activity. In case proteins are unable to acquire their native conformation, chaperones with different substrate specificity and activity guide them to elimination. For most misfolded proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum this requires retro-translocation to the cytosol and polyubiquitylation of the misfolded protein by an endoplasmic reticulum associated machinery. Thereafter ubiquitylated proteins are guided to the proteasome for degradation. This review summarizes our up to date knowledge of chaperone classes and chaperone function in endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation of protein waste.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is important for the folding and quality control of membrane and secretory proteins. We used mutagenesis to introduce N-glycosylation sequons in recombinant proteins to improve their secretion in HEK293 cells. Seven recombinant proteins, with or without endogenous N-glycosylation sequons, were tested by this method. Our results indicate that N-glycosylation sequons located at the N- or C-terminal are glycosylated at high rates and thus the N- and C-terminal may be convenient sites for effectively attaching oligosaccharide chains. More importantly, introduction of oligosaccharide chains at such positions has been found to improve the secretion levels for the majority of the recombinant proteins in our studies, regardless of endogenous N-glycosylation, presumably by improving their folding in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, N-glycosylation has been recognized as one of the most common and functionally important co- or post-translational modifications of proteins. "Free" forms of N-glycans accumulate in the cytosol of mammalian cells, but the precise mechanism for their formation and degradation remains unknown. Here, we report a method for the isolation of yeast free oligosaccharides (fOSs) using endo-beta-1,6-glucanase digestion. fOSs were undetectable in cells lacking PNG1, coding the cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase gene, suggesting that almost all fOSs were formed from misfolded glycoproteins by Png1p. Structural studies revealed that the most abundant fOS was M8B, which is not recognized well by the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD)-related lectin, Yos9p. In addition, we provide evidence that some of the ERAD substrates reached the Golgi apparatus prior to retrotranslocation to the cytosol. N-Glycan structures on misfolded glycoproteins in cells lacking the cytosol/vacuole alpha-mannosidase, Ams1p, was still quite diverse, indicating that processing of N-glycans on misfolded glycoproteins was more complex than currently envisaged. Under ER stress, an increase in fOSs was observed, whereas levels of M7C, a key glycan structure recognized by Yos9p, were unchanged. Our method can thus provide valuable information on the molecular mechanism of glycoprotein ERAD in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Alpha-mannosidosis is caused by the genetic defect of the lysosomal alpha-d-mannosidase (LAMAN), which is involved in the breakdown of free alpha-linked mannose-containing oligosaccharides originating from glycoproteins with N-linked glycans, and thus manifests itself in an extensive storage of mannose-containing oligosaccharides. Here we demonstrate in a model of mice with alpha-mannosidosis that native lysosomal proteins exhibit elongated N-linked oligosaccharides as shown by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis, deglycosylation assays, and mass spectrometry. The analysis of cathepsin B-derived oligosaccharides revealed a hypermannosylation of glycoproteins in mice with alpha-mannosidosis as indicated by the predominance of extended Man3GlcNAc2 oligosaccharides. Treatment with recombinant human alpha-mannosidase partially corrected the hyperglycosylation of lysosomal proteins in vivo and in vitro. These data clearly demonstrate that LAMAN is involved not only in the lysosomal catabolism of free oligosaccharides but also in the trimming of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides on native lysosomal proteins.

Abstract
Peptide:N-glycanase catalyzes the detachment of N-linked glycan chains from glycopeptides or glycoproteins by hydrolyzing the β-aspartylglucosaminyl bond. Peptide:N-glycanase in yeast binds to Rad23p through its N-terminus. In this study, the complex formed between Peptide:N-glycanase and Rad23p was found to exhibit enhanced deglycosylation activity, which suggests an important role for this enzyme in the misfolded glycoprotein degradation pathway in vivo. To investigate the role of this enzyme in this pathway, we made stepwise deletions of the N-terminal helices of peptide:N-glycanase. Enzymatic analysis of the deletion mutants showed that deletion of the N-terminal H1 helix (Png1p-ΔH1) enhanced the deglycosylation activity of N-glycanase towards denatured glycoproteins. In addition, this mutant exhibited high deglycosylation activity towards native glycoproteins. Dynamic simulations of the wild type and N-terminal H1 deletion mutant implied that Png1p-ΔH1 is more flexible than wild type Png1p. The efficient deglycosylation of Png1p-ΔH1 towards native and non-native glycoproteins offers a potential biotechnological application.

Abstract
Secretory proteins are subjected to a stringent endoplasmic reticulum-based quality control system that distinguishes aberrant from correctly folded proteins. The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase cleaves oligosaccharides from misfolded glycoproteins and prepares them for degradation by the 26 S proteasome. In contrast to abundant in vitro data on its enzymatic function, the in vivo relevance of peptide:N-glycanase activity remains unclear. Here we show that the PNG1 ortholog from the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora crassa is an essential protein, and its deletion results in strong polarity defects. PNG1 and its predicted binding partner RAD23 have distinct functions in N. crassa and are involved in cell wall integrity and DNA repair, respectively. Moreover, wild type PNG1 has substitutions in essential catalytic amino acids, and its deglycosylation activity is lost. These substitutions are conserved in many PNG1 orthologs of the fungal kingdom, implying a so far unrecognized enzyme-independent function of PNG1 that may only become apparent in highly polar cells such as fungal hyphae.

Abstract
Protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an elaborate process conserved from yeast to mammals, ensuring that only newly synthesized proteins with correct conformations in the ER are sorted further into the secretory pathway. It is well known that high-mannose type N-glycans are involved in protein-folding events. In the quality control process, proteins that fail to achieve proper folding or proper assembly are degraded in a process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The ERAD pathway comprises multiple steps including substrate recognition and targeting to the retro-translocation machinery, retrotranslocation from the ER into the cytosol, and proteasomal degradation through ubiquitination. Recent studies have documented the important roles of sugar-recognition (lectin-type) molecules for trimmed high-mannose type N-glycans and glycosidases in the ERAD pathways in both ER and cytosol. In this review, we discuss a fundamental system that monitors glycoprotein folding in the ER and the unique roles of the sugar-recognizing ubiquitin ligase and peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) in the cytosolic ERAD pathway.

Abstract
During the last decade it was unambiguously shown that plants synthesize minute amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins upon exposure to stress situations like drought, high salt, hormone treatment, pathogen attack or insect herbivory. In contrast to the 'classical' plant lectins, which are typically found in storage vacuoles or in the extracellular compartment this new class of lectins is located in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Based on these observations the concept was developed that lectin-mediated protein-carbohydrate interactions in the cytoplasm and the nucleus play an important role in the stress physiology of the plant cell. Hitherto, six families of nucleocytoplasmic lectins have been identified. This review gives an overview of our current knowledge on the occurrence of nucleocytoplasmic plant lectins. The carbohydrate-binding properties of these lectins and potential ligands in the nucleocytoplasmic compartment are discussed in view of the physiological role of the lectins in the plant cell.

Abstract
Ubiquitination regulates membrane events such as endocytosis, membrane trafficking and endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Although the involvement of membrane-associated ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and ligases in these processes is well documented, their regulation by ubiquitin deconjugases is less well understood. By screening a database of human deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), we have identified a putative transmembrane domain in ubiquitin-specific protease (USP)19. We show that USP19 is a tail-anchored ubiquitin-specific protease localized to the ER and is a target of the unfolded protein response. USP19 rescues the ERAD substrates cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)DeltaF508 and T-cell receptor-alpha (TCRalpha) from proteasomal degradation. A catalytically inactive USP19 was still able to partly rescue TCRalpha but not CFTRDeltaF508, suggesting that USP19 might also exert a non-catalytic function on specific ERAD substrates. Thus, USP19 is the first example of a membrane-anchored DUB involved in the turnover of ERAD substrates.

Abstract
As proteins travel through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a quality-control system retains newly synthesized polypeptides and supports their maturation. Only properly folded proteins are released to their designated destinations. Proteins that cannot mature are left to accumulate, impairing the function of the ER. To maintain homeostasis, the protein-quality-control system singles out aberrant polypeptides and delivers them to the cytosol, where they are destroyed by the proteasome. The importance of this pathway is evident from the growing list of pathologies associated with quality-control defects in the ER.

Abstract
Several C(1)-imino conjugates of D: -galactose, D: -lactose and D: -ribose, where the nitrogen center was substituted by the salicylidene or naphthylidene, were synthesized and characterized. Similar C(2)-imino conjugates of D: -glucose have also been synthesized. All the glyco-imino-conjugates, which are transition state analogues, exhibited 100% inhibition of the activity towards glycosidases extracted from soybean and jack bean meal. Among these, a galactosyl-napthyl-imine-conjugate (1c) showed 50% inhibition of the activity of pure alpha-mannosidase from jack bean at 22 +/- 2.5 microM, and a ribosyl-naphthyl-imine-conjugate (3c) showed at 31 +/- 5.5 microM and hence these conjugates are potent inhibitors of glycosidases. The kinetic studies suggested non-competitive inhibition by these conjugates. The studies are also suggestive of the involvement of aromatic, imine and carbohydrate moieties of the glyco-imino-conjugates in the effective inhibition. The binding of glyco-imino-conjugate has been established by extensive studies carried out using fluorescence emission and isothermal titration calorimetry. The conformational changes resulted in the enzyme upon interaction of these derivatives has been established by studying the fluorescence quench of the enzyme by KI as well as from the secondary structural changes noticed in CD spectra. All these studies revealed the difference in the binding strengths of the naphthylidene vs. salicylidene as well as galactosyl vs. lactosyl moieties present in these conjugates. The differential inhibition of these glyco-conjugates has been addressed by quantifying the specific interactions present between the glyco-conjugates and the enzyme by using rigid docking studies.

Abstract
Peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) is an important component of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation pathway in which it de-glycosylates misfolded glycoproteins, thus facilitating their proteasomal degradation. PNGase belongs to the transglutaminase superfamily and features a Cys, His, and Asp catalytic triad, which is essential for its enzymatic activity. An elongated substrate-binding groove centered on the active site Cys191 was visualized in the crystal structure of apo-PNGase, whereas its complex with Z-VAD-fmk, a peptide-based inhibitor of PNGase, revealed that the inhibitor occupied one end of the substrate-binding groove while being covalently linked to the active site Cys. Recently, haloacetamidyl-containing carbohydrate-based inhibitors of PNGase were developed and shown to specifically label the active site Cys. In this study, we describe the crystal structure of yeast PNGase in complex with N,N'-diacetylchitobiose (chitobiose). We found that the chitobiose binds on the side opposite to the peptide binding site with the active site Cys191 being located approximately midway between the carbohydrate and peptide binding sites. Mutagenesis studies confirm the critical role of the chitobiose-interacting residues in substrate binding and suggest that efficient oligosaccharide binding is required for PNGase activity. In addition, the N-terminus of a symmetry-related PNGase was found to bind to the proposed peptide-binding site of PNGase. Together with the bound chitobiose, this enables us to propose a model for glycoprotein binding to PNGase. Finally, deleting the C-terminal residues of yeast PNGase, which are disordered in all structures of this enzyme, results in a significant reduction in enzyme activity, indicating that these residues might be involved in binding of the mannose residues of the glycan chain.

Abstract
Tandem affinity purification (TAP) has been used to isolate proteins that interact with human hepatic lipase (HL) during its maturation in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Using mass spectrometry and Western blotting, we identified 28 proteins in HL-TAP isolated complexes, 16 of which localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the site of HL folding and assembly. Of the 12 remaining proteins located outside the ER, five function in protein translation or ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Components of the two major ER chaperone systems were identified, the BiP/Grp94 and the calnexin (CNX)/calreticulin (CRT) systems. All factors involved in CNX/CRT chaperone cycling were identified, including UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 (UGGT), glucosidase II, and the 57 kDa oxidoreductase (ERp57). We also show that CNX, and not CRT, is the lectin chaperone of choice during HL maturation. Along with the 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp78; BiP) and the 94 kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp94), an associated peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase and protein disulfide isomerase were also detected. Finally, several factors in ERAD were identified, and we provide evidence that terminally misfolded HL is degraded by the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal pathway. We propose that newly synthesized HL emerging from the translocon first associates with CNX, ERp57, and glucosidase II, followed by repeated posttranslational cycles of CNX binding that is mediated by UGGT. BiP/Grp94 may stabilize misfolded HL during its transition between cycles of CNX binding and may help direct its eventual degradation.

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
Membrane and secretory proteins that fail to pass quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum are discharged into the cytosol and degraded by the proteasome. Many of the mammalian components involved in this process remain to be identified. We performed a biochemical search for proteins that interact with SEL1L, a protein that is part of the mammalian HRD1 ligase complex and involved in substrate recognition. SEL1L is crucial for dislocation of Class I major histocompatibility complex heavy chains by the human cytomegalovirus US11 protein. We identified AUP1, UBXD8, UBC6e, and OS9 as functionally important components of this degradation complex in mammalian cells, as confirmed by mutagenesis and dominant negative versions of these proteins.
