Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent posttranslational modifications that profoundly affects the structure and functions of proteins in a wide variety of biological recognition events. However, the structural complexity and heterogeneity of glycoproteins, usually resulting from the variations of glycan components and/or the sites of glycosylation, often complicates detailed structure-function relationship studies and hampers the therapeutic applications of glycoproteins. To address these challenges, various chemical and biological strategies have been developed for producing glycan-defined homogeneous glycoproteins. This review highlights recent advances in the development of chemoenzymatic methods for synthesizing homogeneous glycoproteins, including the generation of various glycosynthases for synthetic purposes, endoglycosidase-catalyzed glycoprotein synthesis and glycan remodeling, and direct enzymatic glycosylation of polypeptides and proteins. The scope, limitation, and future directions of each method are discussed.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is a post-translational modification that occurs in all three domains. In Archaea, however, N-linked glycans present a degree of compositional diversity not observed in either Eukarya or Bacteria. As such, it is surprising that nonulosonic acids (NulOs), nine-carbon sugars that include sialic acids, pseudaminic acids, and legionaminic acids, are routinely detected as components of protein-linked glycans in Eukarya and Bacteria but not in Archaea. In the following, we report that the N-linked glycan attached to the S-layer glycoprotein of the haloarchaea Halorubrum sp. PV6 includes an N-formylated legionaminic acid. Analysis of the Halorubrum sp. PV6 genome led to the identification of sequences predicted to comprise the legionaminic acid biosynthesis pathway. The transcription of pathway genes was confirmed, as was the co-transcription of several of these genes. In addition, the activities of LegI, which catalyzes the condensation of 2,4-di-N-acetyl-6-deoxymannose and phosphoenolpyruvate to generate legionaminic acid, and LegF, which catalyzes the addition of cytidine monophosphate (CMP) to legionaminic acid, both heterologously expressed in Haloferax volcanii, were demonstrated. Further genome analysis predicts that the genes encoding enzymes of the legionaminic acid biosynthetic pathway are clustered together with sequences seemingly encoding components of the N-glycosylation pathway in this organism. In defining the first example of a legionaminic acid biosynthesis pathway in Archaea, the findings reported here expand our insight into archaeal N-glycosylation, an almost universal post-translational modification in this domain of life.

Abstract
Protein N-glycosylation is one of the major post-translational modifications in eukaryotic cells. In lower unicellular eukaryotes, the known functions of N-glycans are predominantly in protein folding and quality control within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In multicellular organisms, complex N-glycans are important for developmental programs and immune responses. However, little is known about the functions of complex N-glycans in plants. Formed in the Golgi apparatus, plant complex N-glycans have structures distinct from their animal counterparts due to a set of glycosyltransferases unique to plants. Severe basal underglycosylation in the ER lumen induces misfolding of newly synthesized proteins, which elicits the unfolded protein response (UPR) and ER protein quality control (ERQC) pathways. The former promotes higher capacity of proper protein folding and the latter degradation of misfolded proteins to clear the ER. Although our knowledge on plant complex N-glycan functions is limited, genetic studies revealed the importance of complex N-glycans in cellulose biosynthesis and growth under stress.

Abstract
Statins, which reduce LDL-cholesterol by inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, are among the most widely prescribed drugs. Skeletal myopathy is a known statin-induced adverse effect associated with mitochondrial changes. We hypothesized that similar effects would occur in cardiac myocytes in a lipophilicity-dependent manner between 2 common statins: atorvastatin (lipophilic) and pravastatin (hydrophilic). Neonatal cardiac ventricular myocytes were treated with atorvastatin and pravastatin for 48 h. Both statins induced endoplasmic reticular (ER) stress, but only atorvastatin inhibited ERK1/2T202/Y204, AktSer473, and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling; reduced protein abundance of caveolin-1, dystrophin, epidermal growth factor receptor, and insulin receptor-β; decreased Ras homolog gene family member A activation; and induced apoptosis. In cardiomyocyte-equivalent HL-1 cells, atorvastatin, but not pravastatin, reduced mitochondrial oxygen consumption. When male mice underwent atorvastatin and pravastatin administration per os for up to 7 mo, only long-term atorvastatin, but not pravastatin, induced elevated serum creatine kinase; swollen, misaligned, size-variable, and disconnected cardiac mitochondria; alteration of ER structure; repression of mitochondria- and endoplasmic reticulum-related genes; and a 21% increase in mortality in cardiac-specific vinculin-knockout mice during the first 2 months of administration. To our knowledge, we are the first to demonstrate in vivo that long-term atorvastatin administration alters cardiac ultrastructure, a finding with important clinical implications.-Godoy, J.

Abstract
Glycoproteins are major players in the mucus protective barrier in the gastrointestinal and other mucosal surfaces. In particular the mucus glycoproteins, or mucins, are responsible for the protective gel barrier. They are characterized by their high carbohydrate content, present in their variable number, tandem repeat domains. Throughout evolution the mucins have been maintained as integral components of the mucosal barrier, emphasizing their essential biological status. The glycosylation of the mucins is achieved through a series of biosynthetic pathways processes, which generate the wide range of glycans found in these molecules. Thus mucins are decorated with molecules having information in the form of a glycocode. The enteric microbiota interacts with the mucosal mucus barrier in a variety of ways in order to fulfill its many normal processes. How bacteria read the glycocode and link to normal and pathological processes is outlined in the review.

J Biotechnol 2018; 283:120-129.

Abstract
In spite of huge endeavors in cell line engineering to produce glycoproteins with desired and uniform glycoforms, it is still not possible in vivo. Alternatively, in vitro glycoengineering can be used for the modification of glycans. However, in vitro glycoengineering relies on expensive nucleotide sugars, such as uridine 5'-diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) which serves as GlcNAc donor for the synthesis of various glycans. In this work, we present a systematic study for the cell-free de novo synthesis and regeneration of UDP-GlcNAc from polyphosphate, UMP and GlcNAc by a cascade of five enzymes (N-acetylhexosamine kinase (NahK), Glc-1P uridyltransferase (GalU), uridine monophosphate kinase (URA6), polyphosphate kinase (PPK3), and inorganic diphosphatase (PmPpA). All enzymes were expressed in E. coli BL21 Gold (DE3) and purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Results from one-pot experiments demonstrate the successful production of UDP-GlcNAc with a yield approaching 100%. The highest volumetric productivity of the cascade was about 0.81 g L-1 h-1 of UDP-GlcNAc. A simple model based on mass action kinetics was sufficient to capture the dynamic behavior of the multienzyme pathway. Moreover, a design equation based on metabolic control analysis was established to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the UDP-GlcNAc flux and to demonstrate that the flux of UDP-GlcNAc can be controlled by means of the enzyme concentrations. The effect of temperature on the UDP-GlcNAc flux followed an Arrhenius equation and the optimal co-factor concentration (Mg2+) for high UDP-GlcNAc synthesis rates depended on the working temperature. In conclusion, the study covers the entire engineering process of a multienzyme cascade, i.e. pathway design, enzyme expression, enzyme purification, reaction kinetics and investigation of the influence of basic parameters (temperature, co-factor concentration, enzyme concentration) on the synthesis rate. Thus, the study lays the foundation for future cascade optimization, preparative scale UDP-GlcNAc synthesis and for in situ coupling of the network with UDP-GlcNAc transferases to efficiently regenerate UDP-GlcNAc. Hence, this study provides a further step towards cost-effective in vitro glycoengineering of antibodies and other glycosylated proteins.

Mosquito-larvicidal BinA toxin displays affinity for glycoconjugates: Proposal for BinA mediated cytotoxicity. J Invertebr Pathol 2018; 156:29-40.

Abstract
Lysinibacillus sphaericus parasporal BinAB toxin displays mosquito larvicidal activity against Culex and Anopheles, but several Aedes species are refractory. Recently reported crystal structure of BinAB revealed the presence of N-terminal lectin-like domain in BinA. Hemagglutination and hemolytic activities were not observed for BinA in the present studies. We attempted to characterize carbohydrate specificity of BinA by high-throughput approaches using extrinsic fluorescence and thermofluor shift assay. A total of 34 saccharides (mono-, di- and polysaccharides, and glycoproteins) were used for initial high-throughput screening. The promising glycans were identified based on significant change in the fluorescence intensity. Surface plasmon resonance revealed differential binding of BinA with glycoproteins (fetuin, asialofetuin and thyroglobulin) and affinity for simple sugars, l-fucose and l-arabinose. In the limited carbohydrate competition assay, arabinose, fucose and fetuin inhibited BinA toxicity towards Culex larvae. This study for the first time provides direct evidence that BinA is competent to bind diverse and structurally different glycosylated proteins. This activity may be linked to its intracellular cytotoxicity, as protein N-glycosylation is thought to be critical for development and survival of insect larvae. The glycoproteins do not form stable complexes with BinA, however, as observed in the pull-down assay using affinity immobilized BinA and in native-PAGE analysis. As BinA displays only mild affinity with receptor polypeptide, we hypothesize that toxin-receptor specificity of BinA in Culex may be mediated by dual interaction of BinA with glycan core of GPI anchor and receptor polypeptide. The study shall be useful for refining strategies for improving larvicidal activity and for broadening target specificity of BinAB toxin.

Abstract
![]()
Fetuin,
also known as alpha-2-Heremans Schmid glycoprotein (AHSG),
belongs to some of the most abundant glycoproteins secreted into the
bloodstream. In blood, fetuins exhibit functions as carriers of metals
and small molecules. Bovine fetuin, which harbors 3 N-glycosylation
sites and a suggested half dozen O-glycosylation sites, has been used
often as a model glycoprotein to test novel analytical workflows in
glycoproteomics. Here we characterize and compare fetuin in depth,
using protein from three different biological sources: human serum,
bovine serum, and recombinant human fetuin expressed in HEK-293 cells,
with the aim to elucidate similarities and differences between these
proteins and the post-translational modifications they harbor. Combining
data from high-resolution native mass spectrometry and glycopeptide
centric LC-MS analysis, we qualitatively and quantitatively gather
information on fetuin protein maturation, N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation,
and phosphorylation. We provide direct experimental evidence that
both the human serum and part of the recombinant proteins are processed
into two chains (A and B) connected by a single interchain disulfide
bridge, whereas bovine fetuin remains a single-chain protein. Although
two N-glycosylation sites, one O-glycosylation site, and a phosphorylation
site are conserved from bovine to human, the stoichiometry of the
modifications and the specific glycoforms they harbor are quite distinct.
Comparing serum and recombinant human fetuin, we observe that the
serum protein harbors a much simpler proteoform profile, indicating
that the recombinant protein is not ideally engineered to mimic human
serum fetuin. Comparing the proteoform profile and post-translational
modifications of human and bovine serum fetuin, we observe that, although
the gene structures of these two proteins are alike, they represent
quite distinct proteins when their glycoproteoform profile is also
taken into consideration.

Abstract
Glycoproteins on the surface of cells play critical roles in cellular function, including signalling, adhesion and transport. On leukocytes, several of these glycoproteins possess immunoglobulin (Ig) folds and are central to immune recognition and regulation. Here, we present a platform for the design, expression and biophysical characterization of the extracellular domain of human B cell receptor CD22. We propose that these approaches are broadly applicable to the characterization of mammalian glycoprotein ectodomains containing Ig domains. Two suspension human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell lines, HEK293F and HEK293S, are used to express glycoproteins harbouring complex and high-mannose glycans, respectively. These recombinant glycoproteins with different glycoforms allow investigating the effect of glycan size and composition on ligand binding. We discuss protocols for studying the kinetics and thermodynamics of glycoprotein binding to biologically relevant ligands and therapeutic antibody candidates. Recombinant glycoproteins produced in HEK293S cells are amenable to crystallization due to glycan homogeneity, reduced flexibility and susceptibility to endoglycosidase H treatment. We present methods for soaking glycoprotein crystals with heavy atoms and small molecules for phase determination and analysis of ligand binding, respectively. The experimental protocols discussed here hold promise for the characterization of mammalian glycoproteins to give insight into their function and investigate the mechanism of action of therapeutics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Parallel signaling reduces the effects of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-targeted therapies in glioma. We hypothesized that inhibition of protein N-linked glycosylation, an endoplasmic reticulum co- and posttranslational modification crucial for RTK maturation and activation, could provide a new therapeutic approach for glioma radiosensitization.Experimental Design: We investigated the effects of a small-molecule inhibitor of the oligosaccharyltransferase (NGI-1) on EGFR family receptors, MET, PDGFR, and FGFR1. The influence of glycosylation state on tumor cell radiosensitivity, chemotherapy-induced cell toxicity, DNA damage, and cell-cycle arrest were determined and correlated with glioma cell receptor expression profiles. The effects of NGI-1 on xenograft tumor growth were tested using a nanoparticle formulation validated by in vivo molecular imaging. A mechanistic role for RTK signaling was evaluated through the expression of a glycosylation-independent CD8-EGFR chimera. RESULTS NGI-1 reduced glycosylation, protein levels, and activation of most RTKs. NGI-1 also enhanced the radiosensitivity and cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy in those glioma cells with elevated ErbB family activation, but not in cells without high levels of RTK activation. NGI-1 radiosensitization was associated with increases in both DNA damage and G1 cell-cycle arrest. Combined treatment of glioma xenografts with fractionated radiotherapy and NGI-1 significantly reduced tumor growth compared with controls. Expression of the CD8-EGFR eliminated the effects of NGI-1 on G1 arrest, DNA damage, and cellular radiosensitivity, identifying RTK inhibition as the principal mechanism for the NGI-1 effect. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that oligosaccharyltransferase inhibition with NGI-1 is a novel approach to radiosensitize malignant gliomas with enhanced RTK signaling.See related commentary by Wahl and Lawrence, p. 455.

Abstract
Most the pharmaceutical proteins are derived not from their natural sources, rather their recombinant analogs are synthesized in various expression systems. Plant expression systems, unlike mammalian cell cultures, combine simplicity and low cost of procaryotic systems and the ability for posttranslational modifications inherent in eucaryotes. More than 50% of all human proteins and more than 40% of the currently used pharmaceutical proteins are glycosylated, that is, they are glycoproteins, and their biological activity, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity depend on the correct glycosylation pattern. This review examines in detail the similarities and differences between N- and O-glycosylation in plant and mammalian cells, as well as the effect of plant glycans on the activity, pharmacokinetics, immunity, and intensity of biosynthesis of pharmaceutical proteins. The main current strategies of glycoengineering of plant expression systems aimed at obtaining fully humanized proteins for pharmaceutical application are summarized.

Abstract
Trafficking regulator of GLUT4 1 (TRARG1) was recently identified to localize to glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) storage vesicles (GSVs) and to positively regulate GLUT4 trafficking. Our knowledge of TRARG1 structure and membrane topology is limited to predictive models, hampering efforts to further our mechanistic understanding of how it carries out its functions. Here, we use a combination of bioinformatics prediction tools and biochemical assays to define the membrane topology of the 173-amino acid mouse TRARG1. These analyses revealed that, contrary to the consensus prediction, the N-terminus is cytosolic and that a short segment at the C-terminus resides in the luminal/extracellular space. Based on our biochemical analyses including membrane association and antibody accessibility assays, we conclude that TRARG1 has one transmembrane domain (TMD) (145-172) and a re-entrant loop between residues 101 and 127.

Abstract
Trichomonas vaginalis is a sexually-transmitted protozoan parasite that causes vaginitis and cervicitis. Although mast cell activation is important for provoking tissue inflammation during infection with parasites, information regarding the signaling mechanisms in mast cell activation and T. vaginalis infection is limited. O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a post-translational modification of serine and threonine residues that functions as a critical regulator of intracellular signaling, regulated by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA). We investigated if O-GlcNAcylation was associated with mast cell activation induced by T. vaginalis-derived secretory products (TvSP). Modified TvSP collected from live trichomonads treated with the 5-lipooxygenase inhibitor AA861 inhibited migration of mast cells. This result suggested that mast cell migration was caused by stimulation of T. vaginalis-secreted leukotrienes. Using the BLT1 antagonist U75302 or BLT1 siRNA, we found that migration of mast cells was evoked via LTB4 receptor (BLT1). Furthermore, TvSP induced protein O-GlcNAcylation and OGT expression in HMC-1 cells, which was prevented by transfection with BLT1 siRNA. TvSP-induced migration, ROS generation, CD63 expression and IL-8 release were significantly suppressed by pretreatment with OGT inhibitor ST045849 or OGT siRNA. These results suggested that BLT1-mediated OGlcNAcylation was important for mast cell activation during trichomoniasis.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of maturation for roughly one-third of all cellular proteins. ER-resident molecular chaperones and folding catalysts promote folding and assembly in a diverse set of newly synthesized proteins. Because these processes are error-prone, all eukaryotic cells have a quality-control system in place that constantly monitors the proteins and decides their fate. Proteins with potentially harmful nonnative conformations are subjected to assisted folding or degraded. Persistent folding-defective proteins are distinguished from folding intermediates and targeted for degradation by a specific process involving clearance from the ER. Although the basic principles of these processes appear conserved from yeast to animals and plants, there are distinct differences in the ER-associated degradation of misfolded glycoproteins. The general importance of ER quality-control events is underscored by their involvement in the biogenesis of diverse cell surface receptors and their crucial maintenance of protein homeostasis under diverse stress conditions.

Abstract
The solute carrier family 26 (SLC26) gene family encodes at least 10 different anion exchangers. SLC26 member 6 (SLC26A6 or CFEX/PAT-1) and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) co-localize to the apical membrane of pancreatic duct cells, where they act in concert to drive HCO3- and fluid secretion. In contrast, in the small intestine, SLC26A6 serves as the major pathway for oxalate secretion. However, little is known about the function of Slc26a6 in murine salivary glands. Here, RNA sequencing-based transcriptional profiling and Western blots revealed that Slc26a6 is highly expressed in mouse submandibular and sublingual salivary glands. Slc26a6 localized to the apical membrane of salivary gland acinar cells with no detectable immunostaining in the ducts. CHO-K1 cells transfected with mouse Slc26a6 exchanged Cl- for oxalate and HCO3-, whereas two other anion exchangers known to be expressed in salivary gland acinar cells, Slc4a4 and Slc4a9, mediated little, if any, Cl-/oxalate exchange. Of note, both Cl-/oxalate exchange and Cl-/HCO3- exchange were significantly reduced in acinar cells isolated from the submandibular glands of Slc26a6-/- mice. Oxalate secretion in submandibular saliva also decreased significantly in Slc26a6-/- mice, but HCO3- secretion was unaffected. Taken together, our findings indicate that Slc26a6 is located at the apical membrane of salivary gland acinar cells, where it mediates Cl-/oxalate exchange and plays a critical role in the secretion of oxalate into saliva.

Abstract
A 41-year old female underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan in 2010 because of symptoms suggestive of appendicitis. Incidentally, multiple liver lesions characterised as cysts were detected. The presence of small to medium sized liver cysts (diameter between <1 cm and 4 cm) in all liver segments (>100 cysts) and absence of kidney cysts in the context of normal renal function led to the clinical diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD). Five years later she was referred to the outpatient clinic with increased abdominal girth, pain in the right upper abdomen and right flank, and early satiety. She had difficulties bending over and could neither cut her toenails nor tie her shoe laces. In her early twenties she had used oral contraception for five years. She has been pregnant twice. Clinical examination showed an enlarged liver reaching into the right pelvic region and crossing the midline of the abdomen. Laboratory testing demonstrated increased gamma-glutamyl transferase (80 IU/L, normal <40 IU/L) and alkaline phosphatase (148 IU/L, normal <100 IU/L) levels. Bilirubin, albumin and coagulation times were within the normal range. A new CT scan in 2015 was compatible with an increased number and size of liver cysts. The diameter of cysts varied between <1 cm and 6 cm (anatomic distribution shown [Fig. 2B]). There were no signs of hepatic venous outflow obstruction, portal hypertension or compression on the biliary tract. Height-adjusted total liver volume (htTLV) increased from 2,667 ml/m in 2012 to 4,047 ml/m in 2015 (height 172 cm). The case we present here is not uncommon, and prompts several relevant questions.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of sialylated molecules of crucial relevance for eukaryotic cell life is achieved by sialyltransferases (ST) of the CAZy family GT29. These enzymes are widespread in the Deuterostoma lineages and more rarely described in Protostoma, Viridiplantae and various protist lineages raising the question of their presence in the Last eukaryotes Common Ancestor (LECA). If so, it is expected that the main enzymes associated with sialic acids metabolism are also present in protists. We conducted phylogenomic and protein sequence analyses to gain insights into the origin and ancient evolution of ST and sialic acid pathway in eukaryotes, Bacteria and Archaea. Our study uncovered the unreported occurrence of bacterial GT29 ST and evidenced the existence of 2 ST groups in the LECA, likely originating from the endosymbiotic event that generated mitochondria. Furthermore, distribution of the major actors of the sialic acid pathway in the different eukaryotic phyla indicated that these were already present in the LECA, which could also access to this essential monosaccharide either endogenously or via a sialin/sialidase uptake mechanism involving vesicles. This pathway was lost in several basal eukaryotic lineages including Archaeplastida despite the presence of two different ST groups likely assigned to other functions.

Abstract
Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) is a plasma carrier of glucocorticoids. Human and rat CBGs have six N-glycosylation sites. Glycosylation of human CBG influences its steroid-binding activity, and there are N-glycosylation sites in the reactive center loops (RCLs) of human and rat CBGs. Proteolysis of the RCL of human CBG causes a structural change that disrupts steroid binding. We now show that mutations of conserved N-glycosylation sites at N238 in human CBG and N230 in rat CBG disrupt steroid binding. Inhibiting glycosylation by tunicamycin also markedly reduced human and rat CBG steroid-binding activities. Deglycosylation of fully glycosylated human CBG or human CBG with only one N-glycan at N238 with Endo H-reduced steroid-binding affinity, while PNGase F-mediated deglycosylation does not, indicating that steroid binding is preserved by deamidation of N238 when its N-glycan is removed. When expressed in N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-I-deficient Lec1 cells, human and rat CBGs, and a human CBG mutant with only one glycosylation site at N238, have higher (2-4 fold) steroid-binding affinities than when produced by sialylation-deficient Lec2 cells or glycosylation-competent CHO-S cells. Thus, the presence and composition of an N-glycan in this conserved position both appear to influence the steroid binding of CBG. We also demonstrate that neutrophil elastase cleaves the RCL of human CBG and reduces its steroid-binding capacity more efficiently than does chymotrypsin or the Pseudomonas aeruginosa protease LasB. Moreover, while glycosylation of N347 in the RCL limits these activities, N-glycans at other sites also appear to protect CBG from neutrophil elastase or chymotrypsin.

Abstract
The galactomannans (GMs) that are produced by filamentous fungi belonging to Pezizomycotina, many of which are pathogenic for animals and plants, are polysaccharides consisting of α-(1→2)-/α-(1→6)-mannosyl and β-(1→5)-/β-(1→6)-galactofuranosyl residues. GMs are located at the outermost layer of the cell wall. When a pathogenic fungus infects a host, its cell surface must be in contact with the host. The GMs on the cell surface may be involved in the infection mechanism of a pathogenic fungus or the defense mechanism of a host. There are two types of GMs in filamentous fungi, fungal-type galactomannans and O-mannose type galactomannans. Recent biochemical and genetic advances have facilitated a better understanding of the biosynthesis of both types. This review summarizes our current information on their biosynthesis.

Abstract
Asparagine ( N)-linked glycosylation requires the ordered, stepwise synthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-pyrophosphate-dolichol (Glc3Man9Gn2-PDol) on the endoplasmic reticulum. The fourth and fifth steps of LLO synthesis are catalyzed by Alg2, an unusual mannosyltransferase (MTase) with two different MTase activities; Alg2 adds both an α1,3- and α1,6-mannose onto ManGlcNAc2-PDol to form the trimannosyl core Man3GlcNAc2-PDol. The biochemical properties of Alg2 are controversial and remain undefined. In this study, a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based quantitative assay was established and used to analyze the MTase activities of purified yeast Alg2. Alg2-dependent Man3GlcNAc2-PDol production relied on net-neutral lipids with a propensity to form bilayers. We further showed addition of the α1,3- and α1,6-mannose can occur independently in either order but at differing rates. The conserved C-terminal EX7E motif, N-terminal cytosolic tail, and 3 G-rich loop motifs in Alg2 play crucial roles for these activities, both in vitro and in vivo. These findings provide insight into the unique bifunctionality of Alg2 during LLO synthesis and lead to a new model in which alternative, independent routes exist for Alg2 catalysis of the trimannosyl core oligosaccharide.-Li, S.-T., Wang, N., Xu, X.-X., Fujita, M., Nakanishi, H., Kitajima, T., Dean, N., Gao, X.-D.

Abstract
Glycoengineering by N- and/or O-hyperglycosylation represents a procedure to introduce potential sites for adding N- and/or O-glycosyl structures to proteins with the aim of producing biotherapeutics with improved pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. In this chapter, a detailed description of the steps routinely performed to generate new proteins having high content of N- and/or O-glycosyl moieties is carried out. The rational strategy involves the initial stage of designing N- and/or O-hyperglycosylated muteins to be expressed by mammalian cells and includes the upstream and downstream processing stages necessary to develop hyperglycosylated versions of the proteins of interest with the purpose of beginning the long road toward producing biobetters.

Abstract
SCOPE Bovine lactoferrin (bLF) is an ingredient of food supplements and infant formulas given its antimicrobial and antiviral properties. We modified bLF enzymatically to alter its N-glycosylation and to isolate the glycan chains. The aims of this study include (1) to evaluate whether such derivates induce responses via pattern recognition receptors namely Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and (2) to relate those responses to their different glycosylation profiles. METHODS AND RESULTS The unmodified and modified bLF fractions are incubated with reporter cell lines expressing pattern recognition receptors. Afterwards, we screen for TLRs and analyze for nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activation. Activation of reporter cell lines show that signaling is highly dependent on TLRs. The activation pattern of bLF is reduced with the desialylated form and increased with the demannosylated form. In reporter cells for TLR, bLF activate TLR-4 and inhibit TLR-3. The isolated glycans from bLF inhibit TLR-8. TLR-2, TLR-5, TLR-7, and TLR-9 are not significantly altered. CONCLUSION The profile of glycosylation is key for the biological activity of bLF. By understanding how this affects the human defense responses, the bLF glycan profile can be modified to enhance its immunomodulatory effects when used as a dietary ingredient.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is an essential protein modification that plays roles in many diverse biological processes including protein folding, quality control and protein interactions. Despite recent advances in characterization of the N-glycosylation and N-glycan processing machinery our understanding of N-glycosylation related processes in plant development is limited. In Arabidopsis thaliana, failure of mannose trimming from oligomannosidic N-glycans in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cis/medial-Golgi leads to a defect in root development in the mns123 triple mutant. Here, we show that the severe root phenotype of mns123 is restored in asparagine-linked glycosylation (ALG)-deficient plants with distinct defects in the biosynthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor. The root growth of these ALG-deficient plants is not affected by the α-mannosidase inhibitor kifunensine. Genetic evidence shows that the defect is uncoupled from the glycan-dependent ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway that removes misfolded glycoproteins with oligomannosidic N-glycans from the ER. Restoration of mannose trimming using a trans-Golgi targeted α-mannosidase suppresses the defect of mns123 roots. These data suggest that processing of terminal mannose residues from oligomannosidic N-glycans is important for an unknown late-Golgi or post-Golgi process that is implicated in proper root formation.

Abstract
Protein N-glycosylation is an essential posttranslational modification which is initiated in the endoplasmic reticulum. In plants, the N-glycans play a pivotal role for protein folding and quality control. Through the interaction of glycan processing and binding reactions mediated by ER-resident glycosidases and specific carbohydrate binding proteins, the N-glycans contribute to the adoption of a native protein conformation. Properly folded glycoproteins are released from these processes and allowed to continue their transit to the Golgi where further processing and maturation of N-glycans leads to the formation of more complex structures with different functions. Incompletely folded glycoproteins are removed from the ER by a highly conserved degradation process to prevent the accumulation or secretion of misfolded proteins and maintain ER homeostasis. Here, we describe methods to analyze the N-glycosylation status and the glycan-dependent ER-associated degradation process in plants.

Abstract
Glycosylation of asparagine residues is a ubiquitous protein modification. This N-glycosylation is essential in Eukaryotes, but principally nonessential in Prokaryotes (Archaea and Eubacteria), although it facilitates their survival and pathogenicity. In many reviews, Archaea have received far less attention than Eubacteria, but this review will cover the N-glycosylation in the three domains of life. The oligosaccharide chain is preassembled on a lipid-phospho carrier to form a donor substrate, lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO). The en bloc transfer of an oligosaccharide from LLO to selected Asn residues in the Asn-X-Ser/Thr (X≠Pro) sequons in a polypeptide chain is catalyzed by a membrane-bound enzyme, oligosaccharyltransferase (OST). Over the last 10 years, the three-dimensional structures of the catalytic subunits of the Stt3/AglB/PglB proteins, with an acceptor peptide and a donor LLO, have been determined by X-ray crystallography, and recently the complex structures with other subunits have been determined by cryo-electron microscopy . Structural comparisons within the same species and across the different domains of life yielded a unified view of the structures and functions of OSTs. A catalytic structure in the TM region accounts for the amide bond twisting, which increases the reactivity of the side-chain nitrogen atom of the acceptor Asn residue in the sequon. The Ser/Thr-binding pocket in the C-terminal domain explains the requirement for hydroxy amino acid residues in the sequon. As expected, the two functional structures are formed by the involvement of short amino acid motifs conserved across the three domains of life.

Abstract
Oligosaccharyltransferases (OSTs) mediate the en bloc transfer of N-glycan intermediates onto the asparagine residue in glycosylation sequons (N-X-S/T, X≠P). These enzymes are typically heteromeric complexes composed of several membrane-associated subunits, in which STT3 is highly conserved as a catalytic core. Metazoan organisms encode two STT3 genes (STT3A and STT3B) in their genome, resulting in the formation of at least two distinct OST isoforms consisting of shared subunits and complex specific subunits. The STT3A isoform of OST primarily glycosylates substrate polypeptides cotranslationally, whereas the STT3B isoform is involved in cotranslational and post-translocational glycosylation of sequons that are skipped by the STT3A isoform. Here, we describe mutant constructs of monomeric enhanced green fluorescent protein (mEGFP), which are susceptible to STT3B-dependent N-glycosylation. The endoplasmic reticulum-localized mEGFP (ER-mEGFP) mutants contained an N-glycosylation sequon at their C-terminus and exhibited increased fluorescence in response to N-glycosylation. Isoform-specific glycosylation of the constructs was confirmed by using STT3A- or STT3B-knockout cell lines. Among the mutant constructs that we tested, the ER-mEGFP mutant containing the N185 -C186 -T187 sequon was the best substrate for the STT3B isoform in terms of glycosylation efficiency and fluorescence change. Our results suggest that the mutant ER-mEGFP is useful for monitoring STT3B-dependent post-translocational N-glycosylation in cells of interest, such as those from putative patients with a congenital disorder of glycosylation.

Abstract
The most frequent disorder of glycosylation, PMM2-CDG, is caused by a deficiency of phosphomannomutase activity. In humans two paralogous enzymes exist, both of them require mannose 1,6-bis-phosphate or glucose 1,6-bis-phosphate as activators, but only phospho-mannomutase1 hydrolyzes bis-phosphate hexoses. Mutations in the gene encoding phosphomannomutase2 are responsible for PMM2-CDG. Although not directly causative of the disease, the role of the paralogous enzyme in the disease should be clarified. Phosphomannomutase1 could have a beneficial effect, contributing to mannose 6-phosphate isomerization, or a detrimental effect, hydrolyzing the bis-phosphate hexose activator. A pivotal role in regulating mannose-1phosphate production and ultimately protein glycosylation might be played by inosine monophosphate that enhances the phosphatase activity of phosphomannomutase1. In this paper we analyzed human phosphomannomutases by conventional enzymatic assays as well as by novel techniques such as 31P-NMR and thermal shift assay. We characterized a triple mutant of phospomannomutase1 that retains mutase and phosphatase activity, but is unable to bind inosine monophosphate.

N-Glycan-dependent protein folding and endoplasmic reticulum retention regulate GPI-anchor processing. J Cell Biol 2017; 217:585-599.

Abstract
N-Glycosylation and GPI anchoring of proteins occur in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Liu et al. revealed N-glycans participate in quality control and temporal ER retention of GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs), ensuring their correct folding and GPI processing before exiting from the ER. Chronic ER stress induced exposure of unprocessed GPI-APs on the cell surface. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring of proteins is a conserved posttranslational modification in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Soon after GPI is attached, an acyl chain on the GPI inositol is removed by post-GPI attachment to proteins 1 (PGAP1), a GPI-inositol deacylase. This is crucial for switching GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) from protein folding to transport states. We performed haploid genetic screens to identify factors regulating GPI-inositol deacylation, identifying seven genes. In particular, calnexin cycle impairment caused inefficient GPI-inositol deacylation. Calnexin was specifically associated with GPI-APs, dependent on N-glycan and GPI moieties, and assisted efficient GPI-inositol deacylation by PGAP1. Under chronic ER stress caused by misfolded GPI-APs, inositol-acylated GPI-APs were exposed on the cell surface. These results indicated that N-glycans participate in quality control and temporal ER retention of GPI-APs, ensuring their correct folding and GPI processing before exiting from the ER. Once the system is disrupted by ER stress, unprocessed GPI-APs become exposed on the cell surface.

Abstract
Trypanosoma brucei causes African trypanosomiasis and contains three full-length oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) genes; two of which, TbSTT3A and TbSTT3B, are expressed in the bloodstream form of the parasite. These OSTs have different peptide acceptor and lipid-linked oligosaccharide donor specificities, and trypanosomes do not follow many of the canonical rules developed for other eukaryotic N-glycosylation pathways, raising questions as to the basic architecture and detailed function of trypanosome OSTs. Here, we show by blue-native gel electrophoresis and stable isotope labeling in cell culture proteomics that the TbSTT3A and TbSTT3B proteins associate with each other in large complexes that contain no other detectable protein subunits. We probed the peptide acceptor specificities of the OSTs in vivo using a transgenic glycoprotein reporter system and performed glycoproteomics on endogenous parasite glycoproteins using sequential endoglycosidase H and peptide:N-glycosidase-F digestions. This allowed us to assess the relative occupancies of numerous N-glycosylation sites by endoglycosidase H-resistant N-glycans originating from Man5GlcNAc2-PP-dolichol transferred by TbSTT3A, and endoglycosidase H-sensitive N-glycans originating from Man9GlcNAc2-PP-dolichol transferred by TbSTT3B. Using machine learning, we assessed the features that best define TbSTT3A and TbSTT3B substrates in vivo and built an algorithm to predict the types of N-glycan most likely to predominate at all the putative N-glycosylation sites in the parasite proteome. Finally, molecular modeling was used to suggest why TbSTT3A has a distinct preference for sequons containing and/or flanked by acidic amino acid residues. Together, these studies provide insights into how a highly divergent eukaryote has re-wired protein N-glycosylation to provide protein sequence-specific N-glycan modifications. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifiers PXD007236, PXD007267, and PXD007268.

Abstract
In the three domains of life, lipid-linked glycans contribute to various cellular processes ranging from protein glycosylation to glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis to peptidoglycan assembly. In generating many of these glycoconjugates, phosphorylated polyprenol-based lipids are charged with single sugars by polyprenol phosphate glycosyltransferases. The resultant substrates serve as glycosyltransferase donors, complementing the more common nucleoside diphosphate sugars. It had been accepted that these polyprenol phosphate glycosyltransferases acted similarly, given their considerable sequence homology. Recent findings, however, suggest that matters may not be so simple. In this Opinion we propose that the stereochemistry of sugar addition by polyprenol phosphate glycosyltransferases is not conserved across evolution, even though the GT-A fold that characterizes such enzymes is omnipresent.

Abstract
The multi-domain non-structural protein 3 (Nsp3) is the largest protein encoded by the coronavirus (CoV) genome, with an average molecular mass of about 200 kD. Nsp3 is an essential component of the replication/transcription complex. It comprises various domains, the organization of which differs between CoV genera, due to duplication or absence of some domains. However, eight domains of Nsp3 exist in all known CoVs: the ubiquitin-like domain 1 (Ubl1), the Glu-rich acidic domain (also called “hypervariable region”), a macrodomain (also named “X domain”), the ubiquitin-like domain 2 (Ubl2), the papain-like protease 2 (PL2pro), the Nsp3 ectodomain (3Ecto, also called “zinc-finger domain”), as well as the domains Y1 and CoV-Y of unknown functions. In addition, the two transmembrane regions, TM1 and TM2, exist in all CoVs. The three-dimensional structures of domains in the N-terminal two thirds of Nsp3 have been investigated by X-ray crystallography and/or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy since the outbreaks of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2003 as well as Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012. In this review, the structures and functions of these domains of Nsp3 are discussed in depth. Nonstructural protein 3 (∼200 kD) is a multifunctional protein comprising up to 16 different domains and regions. Nsp3 binds to viral RNA, nucleocapsid protein, as well as other viral proteins, and participates in polyprotein processing. The papain-like protease of Nsp3 is an established target for new antivirals. Through its de-ADP-ribosylating, de-ubiquitinating, and de-ISGylating activities, Nsp3 counteracts host innate immunity. Structural data are available for the N-terminal two thirds of Nsp3, but domains in the remainder are poorly characterized.

Abstract
Plant roots have the potential capacity to grow almost indefinitely if meristematic and lateral branching is sustained. In a genetic screen we identified an Arabidopsis mutant showing limited root growth (lrg1) due to defects in cell division and elongation in the root meristem. Positional cloning determined that lrg1 affects an alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase gene, LEW3, involved in protein N-glycosylation. The lrg1 mutation causes a synonymous substitution that alters the correct splicing of the fourth intron in LEW3, causing a mix of wild-type and truncated protein. LRG1 RNA missplicing in roots and short root phenotypes in lrg1 are light-intensity dependent. This mutation disrupts a GC-base pair in a three-base-pair stem with a four-nucleotide loop, which seems to be necessary for correct LEW3 RNA splicing. We found that the lrg1 short root phenotype correlates with high levels of reactive oxygen species and low pH in the apoplast. Proteomic analyses of N-glycosylated proteins identified GLU23/PYK10 and PRX34 as N-glycosylation targets of LRG1 activity. The lrg1 mutation reduces the positive interaction between Arabidopsis and Serendipita indica. A prx34 mutant showed a significant reduction in root growth, which is additive to lrg1. Taken together our work highlights the important role of N-glycosylation in root growth and development.

Abstract
Glycosylation of proteins is a key function of the biosynthetic‐secretory pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. Glycosylated proteins play a crucial role in cell trafficking and signaling, cell‐cell adhesion, blood‐group antigenicity, and immune response. In addition, the glycosylation of proteins is an important parameter in the optimization of many glycoprotein‐based drugs such as monoclonal antibodies. In vitro glycoengineering of proteins requires glycosyltransferases as well as expensive nucleotide sugars. Here, we present a designed pathway consisting of five enzymes, glucokinase (Glk), phosphomannomutase (ManB), mannose‐1‐phosphate‐guanyltransferase (ManC), inorganic pyrophosphatase (PmPpA), and 1‐domain polyphosphate kinase 2 (1D‐Ppk2) expressed in E. coli for the cell‐free production and regeneration of GDP‐mannose from mannose and polyphosphate with catalytic amounts of GDP and ADP. It was shown that GDP‐mannose is produced at various conditions, that is pH 7–8, temperature 25–35°C and co‐factor concentrations of 5–20 mM MgCl2. The maximum reaction rate of GDP‐mannose achieved was 2.7 μM/min at 30°C and 10 mM MgCl2 producing 566 nmol GDP‐mannose after a reaction time of 240 min. With respect to the initial GDP concentration (0.8 mM) this is equivalent to a yield of 71%. Additionally, the cascade was coupled to purified, transmembrane‐deleted Alg1 (ALG1ΔTM), the first mannosyltransferase in the ER‐associated lipid‐linked oligosaccharide (LLO) assembly. Thereby, in a one‐pot reaction, phytanyl‐PP‐(GlcNAc)2‐Man1 was produced with efficient nucleotide sugar regeneration for the first time. Phytanyl‐PP‐(GlcNAc)2‐Man1 can serve as a substrate for the synthesis of LLO for the cell‐free in vitro glycosylation of proteins. A high‐performance anion exchange chromatography method with UV and conductivity detection (HPAEC‐UV/CD) assay was optimized and validated to determine the enzyme kinetics. The established kinetic model enabled the optimization of the GDP‐mannose regenerating cascade and can further be used to study coupling of the GDP‐mannose cascade with glycosyltransferases. Overall, the study envisages a first step towards the development of a platform for the cell‐free production of LLOs as precursors for in vitro glycoengineering of proteins.
