Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are glycolipids found ubiquitously in eukaryotes. They consist of a glycan and an inositol phospholipid, and act as membrane anchors of many cell-surface proteins by covalently linking to their C-termini. GPIs also exist as unlinked, free glycolipids on the cell surface. In human cells, at least 160 proteins with various functions are GPI-anchored proteins. Because the attachment of GPI is required for the cell-surface expression of GPI-anchored proteins, a thorough knowledge of the molecular basis of mammalian GPI-anchored protein biosynthesis is important for understanding the basic biochemistry and biology of GPI-anchored proteins and their medical significance. In this paper, I review our previous knowledge of the biosynthesis of mammalian GPI-anchored proteins and then examine new findings made since 2020.

Hong S, Lee HG, Huh WK. ARV1 deficiency induces lipid bilayer stress and enhances rDNA stability by activating the unfolded protein response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107273. [PMID: 38588806 PMCID: PMC11089378 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The stability of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is maintained through transcriptional silencing by the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase Sir2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Alongside proteostasis, rDNA stability is a crucial factor regulating the replicative lifespan of S. cerevisiae. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is induced by misfolding of proteins or an imbalance of membrane lipid composition and is responsible for degrading misfolded proteins and restoring endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane homeostasis. Recent investigations have suggested that the UPR can extend the replicative lifespan of yeast by enhancing protein quality control mechanisms, but the relationship between the UPR and rDNA stability remains unknown. In this study, we found that the deletion of ARV1, which encodes an ER protein of unknown molecular function, activates the UPR by inducing lipid bilayer stress. In arv1Δ cells, the UPR and the cell wall integrity pathway are activated independently of each other, and the high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway is activated in a manner dependent on Ire1, which mediates the UPR. Activated Hog1 translocates the stress response transcription factor Msn2 to the nucleus, where it promotes the expression of nicotinamidase Pnc1, a well-known Sir2 activator. Following Sir2 activation, rDNA silencing and rDNA stability are promoted. Furthermore, the loss of other ER proteins, such as Pmt1 or Bst1, and ER stress induced by tunicamycin or inositol depletion also enhance rDNA stability in a Hog1-dependent manner. Collectively, these findings suggest that the induction of the UPR enhances rDNA stability in S. cerevisiae by promoting the Msn2-Pnc1-Sir2 pathway in a Hog1-dependent manner.

J Cell Biol 2023; 222:213904.

Abstract
We previously reported that glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis is upregulated when endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is defective; however, the underlying mechanistic basis remains unclear. Based on a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen, we show that a widely expressed GPI-anchored protein CD55 precursor and ER-resident ARV1 are involved in upregulation of GPI biosynthesis under ERAD-deficient conditions. In cells defective in GPI transamidase, GPI-anchored protein precursors fail to obtain GPI, with the remaining uncleaved GPI-attachment signal at the C-termini. We show that ERAD deficiency causes accumulation of the CD55 precursor, which in turn upregulates GPI biosynthesis, where the GPI-attachment signal peptide is the active element. Among the 31 GPI-anchored proteins tested, only the GPI-attachment signal peptides of CD55, CD48, and PLET1 enhance GPI biosynthesis. ARV1 is prerequisite for the GPI upregulation by CD55 precursor. Our data indicate that GPI biosynthesis is balanced to need by ARV1 and precursors of specific GPI-anchored proteins.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through a specialized export pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have recently shown that a very-long acyl chain (C26) ceramide present in the ER membrane drives clustering and sorting of GPI-APs into selective ER exit sites (ERES). Now, we show that this lipid-based ER sorting also involves the C26 ceramide as a lipid moiety of GPI-APs, which is incorporated into the GPI anchor through a lipid-remodeling process after protein attachment in the ER. Moreover, we also show that a GPI-AP with a C26 ceramide moiety is monitored by the GPI-glycan remodelase Ted1, which, in turn, is required for receptor-mediated export of GPI-APs. Therefore, our study reveals a quality-control system that ensures lipid-based sorting of GPI-APs into selective ERESs for differential ER export, highlighting the physiological need for this specific export pathway.

[PMID: 34017911 PMCID: PMC8131096 DOI: 10.1212/nxg.0000000000000593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Objective To report longitudinal clinical, EEG, and MRI findings in 2 sisters carrying compound heterozygous ARV1 mutations and exhibiting a peculiar form of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Neuropathologic features are also described in one of the sisters. Methods Clinical course description, video-EEG polygraphic recordings, brain MRI, skin and muscle biopsies, whole-exome sequencing (WES), and brain neuropathology. Results Since their first months of life, both girls exhibited severe axial hypotonia, visual inattention, dyskinetic movements, severe developmental delay, and slow background EEG activity. Intractable nonmotor seizures started in both at the eighth month of life, exhibiting the electroclinical characteristics of epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS). In the second year of life, continuous epileptiform EEG activity of extremely high amplitude appeared in association with myoclonic status, leading to severely impaired alertness and responsiveness. Repeated brain MRI revealed progressive atrophic changes and severe hypomyelination. WES identified a compound heterozygous in the ARV1 gene [(p.Ser122Glnfs*7) and (p.Trp163*)] in one patient and was subsequently confirmed in the other. Both sisters died prematurely during respiratory infections. Postmortem neuropathologic examination of the brain, performed in one, revealed atrophic brain changes, mainly involving the cerebellum. Conclusions This report confirms that biallelic ARV1 mutations cause a severe form of DEE and adds epilepsy with migrating focal seizures and myoclonic status to the spectrum of epilepsy phenotypes. Considering the potential role of human ARV1 in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis, this severe syndrome can be assigned to the group of inherited GPI deficiency disorders, with which it shares remarkably similar clinical and neuroimaging features. ARV1 should be considered in the genetic screening of individuals with EIMFS.

Abstract
The first step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis in all eukaryotes is the addition of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to phosphatidylinositol (PI) which is catalysed by a UDP-GlcNAc: PI α1-6 GlcNAc-transferase, also known as GPI GnT. This enzyme has been shown to be a complex of seven subunits in mammalian cells and a similar complex of six homologous subunits has been postulated in yeast. Homologs of these mammalian and yeast subunits were identified in the Trypanosoma brucei predicted protein database. The putative catalytic subunit of the T. brucei complex, TbGPI3, was epitope tagged with three consecutive c-Myc sequences at its C-terminus. Immunoprecipitation of TbGPI3-3Myc followed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and anti-Myc Western blot showed that it is present in a ~240 kDa complex. Label-free quantitative proteomics were performed to compare anti-Myc pull-downs from lysates of TbGPI-3Myc expressing and wild type cell lines. TbGPI3-3Myc was the most highly enriched protein in the TbGPI3-3Myc lysate pull-down and the expected partner proteins TbGPI15, TbGPI19, TbGPI2, TbGPI1 and TbERI1 were also identified with significant enrichment. Our proteomics data also suggest that an Arv1-like protein (TbArv1) is a subunit of the T. brucei complex. Yeast and mammalian Arv1 have been previously implicated in GPI biosynthesis, but here we present the first experimental evidence for physical association of Arv1 with GPI biosynthetic machinery. A putative E2-ligase has also been tentatively identified as part of the T. brucei UDP-GlcNAc: PI α1-6 GlcNAc-transferase complex.

Homozygous splice-variants in human ARV1 cause GPI-anchor synthesis deficiency. Mol Genet Metab 2020; 130:49-57. [PMID: 32165008 PMCID: PMC7303973 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2020.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the ARV1 Homolog, Fatty Acid Homeostasis Modulator (ARV1), have recently been described in association with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 38. Affected individuals presented with epilepsy, ataxia, profound intellectual disability, visual impairment, and central hypotonia. In S. cerevisiae, Arv1 is thought to be involved in sphingolipid metabolism and glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor synthesis. The function of ARV1 in human cells, however, has not been elucidated. METHODS Mutations were discovered through whole exome sequencing and alternate splicing was validated on the cDNA level. Expression of the variants was determined by qPCR and Western blot. Expression of GPI-anchored proteins on neutrophils and fibroblasts was analyzed by FACS and immunofluorescence microscopy, respectively. RESULTS Here we describe seven patients from two unrelated families with biallelic splice mutations in ARV1. The patients presented with early onset epilepsy, global developmental delays, profound hypotonia, delayed speech development, cortical visual impairment, and severe generalized cerebral and cerebellar atrophy. The splice variants resulted in decreased ARV1 expression and significant decreases in GPI-anchored protein on the membranes of neutrophils and fibroblasts, indicating that the loss of ARV1 results in impaired GPI-anchor synthesis. CONCLUSION Loss of GPI-anchored proteins on our patients' cells confirms that the yeast Arv1 function of GPI-anchor synthesis is conserved in humans. Overlap between the phenotypes in our patients and those reported for other GPI-anchor disorders suggests that ARV1-deficiency is a GPI-anchor synthesis disorder.

Abstract
At least 150 human proteins are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs). The protein moiety of GPI-APs lacking transmembrane domains is anchored to the plasma membrane with GPI covalently attached to the C-terminus. The GPI consists of the conserved core glycan, phosphatidylinositol and glycan side chains. The entire GPI-AP is anchored to the outer leaflet of the lipid bilayer by insertion of fatty chains of phosphatidylinositol. Because of GPI-dependent membrane anchoring, GPI-APs have some unique characteristics. The most prominent feature of GPI-APs is their association with membrane microdomains or membrane rafts. In the polarized cells such as epithelial cells, many GPI-APs are exclusively expressed in the apical surfaces, whereas some GPI-APs are preferentially expressed in the basolateral surfaces. Several GPI-APs act as transcytotic transporters carrying their ligands from one compartment to another. Some GPI-APs are shed from the membrane after cleavage within the GPI by a GPI-specific phospholipase or a glycosidase. In this review, I will summarize the current understanding of GPI-AP biosynthesis in mammalian cells and discuss examples of GPI-dependent functions of mammalian GPI-APs.

Jain P, Sethi SC, Pratyusha VA, Garai P, Naqvi N, Singh S, Pawar K, Puri N, Komath SS. Ras signaling activates glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis via the GPI- N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) in Candida albicans. J Biol Chem 2018; 293:12222-12238. [PMID: 29907567 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.ra117.001225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2017] [Revised: 04/17/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The ability of Candida albicans to switch between yeast to hyphal form is a property that is primarily associated with the invasion and virulence of this human pathogenic fungus. Several glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins are expressed only during hyphal morphogenesis. One of the major pathways that controls hyphal morphogenesis is the Ras-signaling pathway. We examine the cross-talk between GPI anchor biosynthesis and Ras signaling in C. albicans. We show that the first step of GPI biosynthesis is activated by Ras in C. albicans This is diametrically opposite to what is reported in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Of the two C. albicans Ras proteins, CaRas1 alone activates GPI-GnT activity; activity is further stimulated by constitutively activated CaRas1. CaRas1 localized to the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is sufficient for GPI-GnT activation. Of the six subunits of the GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT) that catalyze the first step of GPI biosynthesis, CaGpi2 is the key player involved in activating Ras signaling and hyphal morphogenesis. Activation of Ras signaling is independent of the catalytic competence of GPI-GnT. This too is unlike what is observed in S. cerevisiae where multiple subunits were identified as inhibiting Ras2. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies indicate a specific physical interaction between CaRas1 and CaGpi2 in the ER, which would explain the ability of CaRas1 to activate GPI-GnT. CaGpi2, in turn, promotes activation of the Ras-signaling pathway and hyphal morphogenesis. The Cagpi2 mutant is also more susceptible to macrophage-mediated killing, and macrophage cells show better survival when co-cultured with Cagpi2.

Abstract
We report an individual who presented with severe neurodevelopmental delay and an intractable infantile-onset seizure disorder. Exome sequencing identified a homozygous single nucleotide change that abolishes a splice donor site in the ARV1 gene (c.294 + 1G > A homozygous). This variant completely prevented splicing in minigene assays, and resulted in exon skipping and an in-frame deletion of 40 amino acids in primary human fibroblasts (NP_073623.1: p.(Lys59_Asn98del). The p.(Lys59_Asn98del) and previously reported p.(Gly189Arg) ARV1 variants were evaluated for protein expression and function. The p.(Gly189Arg) variant partially rescued the temperature-dependent growth defect in arv1Δ yeast, while p.(Lys59-Asn98del) completely failed to rescue at restrictive temperature. In contrast to wild type human ARV1, neither variant expressed detectable levels of protein in mammalian cells. Mice with a neuronal deletion of Arv1 recapitulated the human phenotype, exhibiting seizures and a severe survival defect in adulthood. Our data support ARV1 deficiency as a cause of autosomal recessive epileptic encephalopathy.
