Hirayama H, Fujihira H, Suzuki T. Development of new NGLY1 assay systems - toward developing an early screening method for NGLY1 deficiency. Glycobiology 2024; 34:cwae067.

Abstract
Cytosolic peptide: N-glycanase (PNGase/NGLY1 in mammals) is an amidase (EC:3.5.1.52) widely conserved in eukaryotes. It catalyzes the removal of N-glycans on glycoproteins, converting N-glycosylated Asn into Asp residues. This enzyme also plays a role in the quality control system for nascent glycoproteins. Since the identification of a patient with an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by NGLY1 gene dysfunction, known as NGLY1 deficiency or NGLY1 congenital disorder of deglycosylation (OMIM: 615273), in 2012, more than 100 cases have been reported worldwide. NGLY1 deficiency is characterized by a wide array of symptoms, such as global mental delay, intellectual disability, abnormal electroencephalography findings, seizure, movement disorder, hypolacrima or alacrima, and liver dysfunction. Unfortunately, no effective therapeutic treatments for this disease have been established. However, administration of adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9) vector harboring human NGLY1 gene to an NGLY1-deficient rat model (Ngly1-/- rat) by intracerebroventricular injection was found to drastically improve motor function defects. This observation indicated that early therapeutic intervention could alleviate various symptoms originating from central nervous system dysfunction in this disease. Therefore, there is a keen interest in the development of facile diagnostic methods for NGLY1 deficiency. This review summarizes the history of assay development for PNGase/NGLY1 activity, as well as the recent progress in the development of novel plate-based assay systems for NGLY1, and also discusses future perspectives.

Abstract
Cancer cells acquire metabolic advantages over their normal counterparts regarding the use of nutrients for sustained cell proliferation and cell survival in the tumor microenvironment. Notable among the metabolic traits in cancer cells is the Warburg effect, which is a reprogrammed form of glycolysis that favors the rapid generation of ATP from glucose and the production of biological macromolecules by diverting glucose into various metabolic intermediates. Meanwhile, mannose, which is the C-2 epimer of glucose, has the ability to dampen the Warburg effect, resulting in slow-cycling cancer cells that are highly susceptible to chemotherapy. This anticancer effect of mannose appears when its catabolism is compromised in cancer cells. Moreover, de novo synthesis of mannose within cancer cells has also been identified as a potential target for enhancing chemosensitivity through targeting glycosylation pathways. The underlying mechanisms by which alterations in mannose metabolism induce cancer cell vulnerability are just beginning to emerge. This review summarizes the current state of our knowledge of mannose metabolism and provides insights into its manipulation as a potential anticancer strategy.

Abstract
The stepwise addition of monosaccharides to N-glycans attached to client proteins to generate a repertoire of mature proteins involves a concerted action of many glycosidases and glycosyltransferases. Here, we report that Golgi α-mannosidase II (GMII), a pivotal enzyme catalyzing the first step in the conversion of hybrid- to complex-type N-glycans, is activated by Zn2+ supplied by the early secretory compartment-resident ZNT5-ZNT6 heterodimers (ZNT5-6) and ZNT7 homodimers (ZNT7). Loss of ZNT5-6 and ZNT7 function results in marked accumulation of hybrid-type and complex/hybrid glycans with concomitant reduction of complex- and high-mannose-type glycans. In cells lacking the ZNT5-6 and ZNT7 functions, the GMII activity is substantially decreased. In contrast, the activity of its homolog, lysosomal mannosidase (LAMAN), is not decreased. Moreover, we show that the growth of pancreatic cancer MIA PaCa-2 cells lacking ZNT5-6 and ZNT7 is significantly decreased in a nude mouse xenograft model. Our results indicate the integral roles of ZNT5-6 and ZNT7 in N-glycosylation and highlight their potential as novel target proteins for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting a growing number of elderly people. In order to improve the early and differential diagnosis of AD, better biomarkers are needed. Glycosylation is a protein post-translational modification that is modulated in the course of many diseases, including neurodegeneration. Aiming to improve AD diagnosis and differential diagnosis through glycan analytics methods, we report the glycoprotein glycome of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) isolated from a total study cohort of 262 subjects. The study cohort consisted of patients with AD, healthy controls and patients suffering from other types of dementia. CSF free-glycans were also isolated and analyzed in this study, and the results reported for the first time the presence of 19 free glycans in this body fluid. The free-glycans consisted of complete or truncated N-/O-glycans as well as free monosaccharides. The free-glycans Hex1 and HexNAc1Hex1Neu5Ac1 were able to discriminate AD from controls and from patients suffering from other types of dementia. Regarding CSF N-glycosylation, high proportions of high-mannose, biantennary bisecting core-fucosylated N-glycans were found, whereby only about 20% of the N-glycans were sialylated. O-Glycans and free-glycan fragments were less sialylated in AD patients than in controls. To conclude, this comprehensive study revealed for the first time the biomarker potential of free glycans for the differential diagnosis of AD.

Abstract
Cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase/NGLY1 in mammals) catalyzes deglycosylation of N-glycans on glycoproteins. A genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NGLY1 gene leads to NGLY1 deficiency with symptoms including motor deficits and neurological problems. Effective therapies have not been established, though, a recent study used the administration of an adeno-associated viral vector expressing human NGLY1 to dramatically rescue motor functions in young Ngly1-/- rats. Thus, early therapeutic intervention may improve symptoms arising from central nervous system dysfunction, and assay methods for measuring NGLY1 activity in biological samples are critical for early diagnostics. In this study, we established an assay system for plate-based detection of endogenous NGLY1 activity using a FRET-based probe. Using this method, we revealed significant changes in NGLY1 activity in rat brains during aging. This novel assay offers reliable disease diagnostics and provides valuable insights into the regulation of PNGase/NGLY1 activity in diverse organisms under different stress conditions.

Abstract
We recently established a method for the isolation of serum-free oligosaccharides, and characterized various features of their structures. However, the precise mechanism for how these glycans are formed still remains unclarified. To further investigate the mechanism responsible for these serum glycans, here, we utilized rat primary hepatocytes to examine whether they are able to secrete free glycans. Our findings indicated that a diverse array of free oligosaccharides such as sialyl/neutral free N-glycans (FNGs), as well as sialyl lactose/LacNAc-type glycans, were secreted into the culture medium by primary hepatocytes. The structural features of these free glycans in the medium were similar to those isolated from the sera of the same rat. Further evidence suggested that an oligosaccharyltransferase is involved in the release of the serum-free N-glycans. Our results indicate that the liver is indeed secreting various types of free glycans directly into the serum.

Hydrolytic activity of yeast oligosaccharyltransferase is enhanced when misfolded proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum. FEBS J 2024; 291:884-896. [PMID: 37997624 DOI: 10.1111/febs.17011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
It is known that oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) has hydrolytic activity toward dolichol-linked oligosaccharides (DLO), which results in the formation of free N-glycans (FNGs), i.e. unconjugated oligosaccharides with structural features similar to N-glycans. The functional importance of this hydrolytic reaction, however, remains unknown. In this study, the hydrolytic activity of OST was characterized in yeast. It was shown that the hydrolytic activity of OST is enhanced in ubiquitin ligase mutants that are involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation. Interestingly, this enhanced hydrolysis activity is completely suppressed in asparagine-linked glycosylation (alg) mutants, bearing mutations related to the biosynthesis of DLO, indicating that the effect of ubiquitin ligase on OST-mediated hydrolysis is context-dependent. The enhanced hydrolysis activity in ubiquitin ligase mutants was also found to be canceled upon treatment of the cells with dithiothreitol, a reagent that potently induces protein unfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Our results clearly suggest that the hydrolytic activity of OST is enhanced under conditions in which the formation of unfolded proteins is promoted in the ER in yeast. The possible role of FNGs on protein folding is discussed.

Abstract
Glycans, either alone or in complex with glycan-binding proteins, are essential structures that can regulate cell biology by mediating protein stability or receptor dimerization under physiological and pathological conditions. Certain glycans are ligands for lectins, which are carbohydrate-specific receptors. Bone is a complex tissue that provides mechanical support for muscles and joints, and the regulation of bone mass in mammals is governed by complex interplay between bone-forming cells, called osteoblasts, and bone-resorbing cells, called osteoclasts. Bone erosion occurs when bone resorption notably exceeds bone formation. Osteoclasts may be activated during cancer, leading to a range of symptoms, including bone pain, fracture, and spinal cord compression. Our understanding of the role of protein glycosylation in cells and tissues involved in osteoclastogenesis suggests that glycosylation-based treatments can be used in the management of diseases. The aims of this review are to clarify the process of bone resorption and investigate the signaling pathways mediated by glycosylation and their roles in osteoclast biology. Moreover, we aim to outline how the lessons learned about these approaches are paving the way for future glycobiology-focused therapeutics.

Abstract
This study determined the effect of brefeldin A (BFA) on the free N-glycomic profile of HepG2 cells to better understand the effect of blocking intracellular vesicle formation and transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. A series of exoglycosidase- and endoglycosidase-assisted analyses clarified the complex nature of altered glycomic profiles. A key feature of BFA-mediated alterations in Gn2-type glycans was the expression of unusual hybrid-, monoantennary- and complex-type free N-glycans (FNGs). BFA-mediated alterations in Gn1-type glycans were characterized by the expression of unusual hybrid- and monoantennary-FNGs, without significant expression of complex-type FNGs. A time course analysis revealed that sialylated hybrid- and complex-type Gn2-type FNGs were generated later than asialo-Gn2-type FNGs, and the expression profiles of Gn2-type FNGs and N-glycans were found to be similar, suggesting that the metabolic flux of FNGs is the same as that of protein-bound N-glycans. Subcellular glycomic analysis revealed that almost all FNGs were detected in the cytoplasmic extracts. Our data suggest that hybrid-, monoantennary- and complex-type Gn2-type FNGs were cleaved from glycoproteins in the cytosol by cytosolic PNGase, and subsequently digested by cytosolic endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) to generate Gn1-type FNGs. The substrate specificity of ENGase explains the limited expression of complex Gn1 type FNGs.

Abstract
Being part of the human diet, peach is an important fruit consumed worldwide. In the present study, a systematic first insight into the N-glycosylation of peach fruit during ripening was provided. First, N-glycome by reactive matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry indicated that 6 of 24 N-glycans of peach were differentially expressed. Second, a comparative N-glycoproteome was characterized via 18O-tagged N-glycosylation site labeling followed by nano-liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-ESI-MS/MS). Totally 1464 N-glycosites on 881 N-glycoproteins were identified, among which 291 N-glycosites on 237 N-glycoproteins were expressed differentially with a fold change value of 1.5 or 0.67. The enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG revealed that four pathways including other glycan degradation, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum were mainly enriched, in which several important N-glycoproteins with dynamic change during fruit ripening were further screened out. Our findings on a large scale for N-glycosylation analysis of peach fruit during ripening may provide new molecular insights for comprehending N-glycoprotein functions, which should be of great interest to both glycobiologists and analytical chemists.

Convergent synthesis of oligomannose-type glycans via step-economical construction of branch structures. Carbohydr Res 2023; 525:108764. [PMID: 36812846 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
Oligomannose-type glycans on glycoproteins are important signaling molecules in the glycoprotein quality control system in the endoplasmic reticulum. Recently, free oligomannose-type glycans generated by the hydrolysis of glycoproteins or dolichol pyrophosphate-linked oligosaccharides were recognized as important signals for immunogenicity. Hence, there is a high demand for pure oligomannose-type glycans for biochemical experiments; however, the chemical synthesis of glycans to achieve high-concentration products is laborious. In this study, we demonstrate a simple and efficient synthetic strategy for oligomannose-type glycans. Sequential regioselective α-mannosylation at the C-3 and C-6 positions of 2,3,4,6-unprotected galactose residues in galactosylchitobiose derivatives was demonstrated. Subsequently, the inversion of the configuration of the two hydroxy groups at the C-2 and C-4 positions of the galactose moiety was successfully carried out. This synthetic route reduces the number of the protection-deprotection reactions and is suitable for constructing different branching patterns of oligomannose-type glycans, such as M9, M5A, and M5B.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is equipped with multiple quality control systems (QCS) that are necessary for shaping the glycoproteome of eukaryotic cells. These systems facilitate the productive folding of glycoproteins, eliminate defective products, and function as effectors to evoke cellular signaling in response to various cellular stresses. These ER functions largely depend on glycans, which contain sugar-based codes that, when needed, function to recruit carbohydrate-binding proteins that determine the fate of glycoproteins. To ensure their functionality, the biosynthesis of such glycans is therefore strictly monitored by a system that selectively degrades structurally defective glycans before adding them to proteins. This system, which is referred to as the glycan QCS, serves as a mechanism to reduce the risk of abnormal glycosylation under conditions where glycan biosynthesis is genetically or metabolically stalled. On the other hand, glycan QCS increases the risk of global hypoglycosylation by limiting glycan availability, which can lead to protein misfolding and the activation of unfolded protein response to maintaining cell viability or to initiate cell death programs. This review summarizes the current state of our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying glycan QCS in mammals and its physiological and pathological roles in embryogenesis, tumor progression, and congenital disorders associated with abnormal glycosylation.

Evaluation of the context of downstream N- and free N-glycomic alterations induced by swainsonine in HepG2 cells. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2022; 1866:130168.

Abstract
Swainsonine (SWA), a potent inhibitor of class II α-mannosidases, is present in a number of plant species worldwide and causes severe toxicosis in livestock grazing these plants. The mechanisms underlying SWA-induced animal poisoning are not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the alterations that occur in N- and free N-glycomic upon addition of SWA to HepG2 cells to understand better SWA-induced glycomic alterations. After SWA addition, we observed the appearance of SWA-specific glycomic alterations, such as unique fucosylated hybrid-type and fucosylated M5 (M5F) N-glycans, and a remarkable increase in all classes of Gn1 FNGs. Further analysis of the context of these glycomic alterations showed that (fucosylated) hybrid type N-glycans were not the precursors of these Gn1 FNGs and vice versa. Time course analysis revealed the dynamic nature of glycomic alterations upon exposure of SWA and suggested that accumulation of free N-glycans occurred earlier than that of hybrid-type N-glycans. Hybrid-type N-glycans, of which most were uniquely core fucosylated, tended to increase slowly over time, as was observed for M5F N-glycans. Inhibition of swainsonine-induced unique fucosylation of hybrid N-glycans and M5 by coaddition of 2-fluorofucose caused significant increases in paucimannose- and fucosylated paucimannose-type N-glycans, as well as paucimannose-type free N-glycans. The results not only revealed the gross glycomic alterations in HepG2 cells induced by swainsonine, but also provide information on the global interrelationships between glycomic alterations.

Increased levels of acidic free-N-glycans, including multi-antennary and fucosylated structures, in the urine of cancer patients. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0266927.

Abstract
We recently reported increased levels of urinary free-glycans in some cancer patients. Here, we focused on cancer related alterations in the levels of high molecular weight free-glycans. The rationale for this study was that branching, elongation, fucosylation and sialylation, which lead to increases in the molecular weight of glycans, are known to be up-regulated in cancer. Urine samples from patients with gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer and normal controls were analyzed. The extracted free-glycans were fluorescently labeled with 2-aminopyridine and analyzed by multi-step liquid chromatography. Comparison of the glycan profiles revealed increased levels of glycans in some cancer patients. Structural analysis of the glycans was carried out by performing chromatography and mass spectrometry together with enzymatic or chemical treatments. To compare glycan levels between samples with high sensitivity and selectivity, simultaneous measurements by reversed-phase liquid chromatography-selected ion monitoring of mass spectrometry were also performed. As a result, three lactose-core glycans and 78 free-N-glycans (one phosphorylated oligomannose-type, four sialylated hybrid-type and 73 bi-, tri- and tetra-antennary complex-type structures) were identified. Among them, glycans with α1,3-fucosylation ((+/− sialyl) Lewis X), triply α2,6-sialylated tri-antennary structures and/or a (Man3)GlcNAc1-core displayed elevated levels in cancer patients. However, simple α2,3-sialylation and α1,6-core-fucosylation did not appear to contribute to the observed increase in the level of glycans. Interestingly, one tri-antennary free-N-glycan that showed remarkable elevation in some cancer patients contained a unique Glcβ1-4GlcNAc-core instead of the common GlcNAc2-core at the reducing end. This study provides further insights into free-glycans as potential tumor markers and their processing pathways in cancer.

Abstract
Free oligosaccharides (fOSs) are soluble oligosaccharide species generated during N-glycosylation of proteins. Although little is known about fOS metabolism, the recent identification of NGLY1 deficiency, a congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG) caused by loss of function of an enzyme involved in fOS metabolism, has elicited increased interest in fOS processing. The catabolism of fOSs has been linked to the activity of a specific cytosolic mannosidase, MAN2C1, which cleaves α1,2-, α1,3-, and α1,6-mannose residues. In this study, we report the clinical, biochemical, and molecular features of six individuals, including two fetuses, with bi-allelic pathogenic variants in MAN2C1; the individuals are from four different families. These individuals exhibit dysmorphic facial features, congenital anomalies such as tongue hamartoma, variable degrees of intellectual disability, and brain anomalies including polymicrogyria, interhemispheric cysts, hypothalamic hamartoma, callosal anomalies, and hypoplasia of brainstem and cerebellar vermis. Complementation experiments with isogenic MAN2C1-KO HAP1 cells confirm the pathogenicity of three of the identified MAN2C1 variants. We further demonstrate that MAN2C1 variants lead to accumulation and delay in the processing of fOSs in proband-derived cells. These results emphasize the involvement of MAN2C1 in human neurodevelopmental disease and the importance of fOS catabolism.

Abstract
Background: Dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide–protein glycosyltransferase non-catalytic subunit (DDOST) is an important enzyme in the process of high-mannose oligosaccharide transferring in cells. Increasing DDOST expression is associated with impairing liver function and the increase of hepatic fibrosis degrees, hence exacerbating the liver injury. However, the relation between DDOST and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been revealed yet. Method: In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value of DDOST in HCC based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The relationship between DDOST expression and clinical-pathologic features was evaluated by logistic regression, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Kruskal–Wallis test. Prognosis-related factors of HCC including DDOST were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Cox regression and the Kaplan–Meier method. DDOST-related key pathways were identified by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The correlations between DDOST and cancer immune infiltrates were investigated by the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) of TCGA data. Results: High DDOST expression was associated with poorer overall survival and disease-specific survival of HCC patients. GSEA suggested that DDOST is closely correlated with cell cycle and immune response via the PPAR signaling pathway. ssGSEA indicated that DDOST expression was positively correlated with the infiltrating levels of Th2 cells and negatively correlated with the infiltration levels of cytotoxic cells. Conclusion: All those findings indicated that DDOST was correlated with prognosis and immune infiltration in HCC.

Abstract
Recent studies demonstrated the occurrence of sialyl free N-glycans (FNGs) in sera from a variety of animals. Unlike the intracellular FNGs that mainly carry a single N-acetylglucosamine at their reducing termini (Gn1-type), these extra-cellular FNGs have an N,N'-diacetylchitobiose at their reducing termini (Gn2-type). The detailed mechanism for how they are formed, however, remains unclarified. In this study, we report on an improved method for isolating FNGs from sera and found that, not only sialyl FNGs, but also neutral FNGs are present in animal sera. Most of the neutral oligomannose-type FNGs were found to be Gn1-type. We also found that a small portion of sialyl FNGs were Gn1-type. The ratio of Gn1-type sialyl FNGs varies between species, and appears to be partially correlated with the distribution of lysosomal chitobiase activity. We also identified small sialylated glycans similar to milk oligosaccharides, such as sialyl lactose or sialyl N-acetyllactosamine in sera. Our results indicate that there are variety of free oligosaccharides in sera and the mechanism responsible for their formation is more complicated than currently envisaged.

Cytosolic peptide: N-glycanase (PNGase; NGLY1), an enzyme responsible for de-glycosylation of N-glycans on glycoproteins, is known to play pivotal roles in a variety of biological processes. In 2012, NGLY1 deficiency, a rare genetic disorder, was reported and since then, more than 100 patients have now been identified worldwide. Patients with this disease exhibit several common symptoms that are caused by the dysfunction of NGLY1. However, correlation between the severity of patient symptoms and the extent of the reduction in NGLY1 activity in these patients remains to be clarified, mainly due to the absence of a facile quantitative assay system for this enzyme, especially in a crude extract as an enzyme source. In this study, a quantitative, non-radioisotope (RI)-based assay method for measuring recombinant NGLY1 activity was established using a BODIPY-labeled asialoglycopeptide (BODIPY-ASGP) derived from hen eggs. With this assay, the activities of 27 recombinant NGLY1 mutants that are associated with the deficiency were examined. It was found that the activities of 3 (R469X, R458fs, and H494fs) out of the 27 recombinant mutant proteins were 30-70 percent of the activities of wild-type NGLY1. We further developed a method for measuring endogenous NGLY1 activity in crude extracts derived from cultured cells, patients' fibroblasts, iPS cells or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), using a glycosylated cyclopeptide (GCP) that exhibited resistance to the endogenous proteases in the extract. Our methods will not only provide new insights into the molecular mechanism responsible for this disease but also promises to be applicable for its diagnosis.

Abstract
Cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase (NGLY1) is an enzyme that cleaves N-glycans from glycoproteins that has been retrotranslocated from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen into the cytosol. It is known that NGLY1 is involved in the degradation of cytosolic glycans (non-lysosomal glycan degradation) as well as ER-associated degradation (ERAD), a quality control system for newly synthesized glycoproteins. The discovery of NGLY1 deficiency, which is caused by mutations in the human NGLY1 gene and results in multisystemic symptoms, has attracted interest in the physiological functions of NGLY1 in mammals. Studies using various animal models led to the identification of possible factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of NGLY1 deficiency. In this review, we summarize phenotypic consequences that have been reported for various Ngly1-deficient rodent models, and discuss future perspectives to provide more insights into the physiological functions of NGLY1.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been reported in a variety of diseases. Although ER stress can be detected using specific markers, it is still difficult to quantitatively evaluate the degree of stress and to identify the cause of the stress. The ER is the primary site for folding of secretory or transmembrane proteins as well as the site where glycosylation is initiated. This study therefore postulates that tracing the biosynthetic pathway of asparagine-linked glycans (N-glycans) would be a reporter for reflecting the state of the ER and serve as a quantitative descriptor of ER stress. Glycoblotting-assisted mass spectrometric analysis of the HeLa cell line enabled quantitative determination of the changes in the structures of N-glycans and degraded free oligosaccharides (fOSs) in response to tunicamycin- or thapsigargin-induced ER stress. The integrated analysis of neutral and sialylated N-glycans and fOSs showed the potential to elucidate the cause of ER stress, which cannot be readily done by protein markers alone. Changes in the total amount of glycans, increase in the ratio of high-mannose type N-glycans, increase in fOSs, and changes in the ratio of sialylated N-glycans in response to ER stress were shown to be potential descriptors of ER stress. Additionally, drastic clearance of accumulated N-glycans was observed in thapsigargin-treated cells, which may suggest the observation of ER stress-mediated autophagy or ER-phagy in terms of glycomics. Quantitative analysis of N-glycoforms composed of N-glycans and fOSs provides the dynamic indicators reflecting the ER status and the promising strategies for quantitative evaluation of ER stress.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is a fundamental post-translational protein modification in the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotic cells. The biosynthetic and catabolic flux of N-glycans in eukaryotic cells has long been analyzed by metabolic labeling using radiolabeled sugars. Here, we introduce a non-radiolabeling protocol for the isolation, structural determination, and quantification of N-glycan precursors, dolichol-linked oligosaccharides, and the related metabolites, including phosphorylated oligosaccharides and nucleotide sugars. Our protocol allows for capturing of the biosynthesis and degradation of N-glycan precursors at steady state. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Harada et al. (2013), Harada et al. (2020), and Nakajima et al. (2013).

Abstract
Folding of proteins is essential so that they can exert their functions. For proteins that transit the secretory pathway, folding occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and various chaperone systems assist in acquiring their correct folding/subunit formation. N-glycosylation is one of the most conserved posttranslational modification for proteins, and in eukaryotes it occurs in the ER. Consequently, eukaryotic cells have developed various systems that utilize N-glycans to dictate and assist protein folding, or if they consistently fail to fold properly, to destroy proteins for quality control and the maintenance of homeostasis of proteins in the ER.

Abstract
Fungal α‐mannosidase Ams1 and its mammalian homolog MAN2C1 hydrolyze terminal α‐linked mannoses in free oligosaccharides released from misfolded glycoproteins or lipid‐linked oligosaccharide donors. Ams1 is transported by selective autophagy into vacuoles. Here, we determine the tetrameric structure of Ams1 from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe at 3.2 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy. Distinct from a low resolution structure of S. cerevisiae Ams1, S. pombe Ams1 has a prominent N‐terminal tail that mediates tetramerization and an extra β‐sheet domain. Ams1 shares a conserved active site with other enzymes in glycoside hydrolase family 38, to which Ams1 belongs, but contains extra N‐terminal domains involved in tetramerization. The atomic structure of Ams1 reported here will aid understanding of its enzymatic activity and transport mechanism.

Abstract
Oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) is a multi-span membrane protein complex that catalyzes the addition of glycans to selected Asn residues within nascent polypeptides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. This process, termed N-glycosylation, is a fundamental post-translational protein modification that is involved in the quality control, trafficking of proteins, signal transduction, and cell-to-cell communication. Given these crucial roles, N-glycosylation is essential for homeostasis at the systemic and cellular levels, and a deficiency in genes that encode for OST subunits often results in the development of complex genetic disorders. A growing body of evidence has also demonstrated that the expression of OST subunits is cell context-dependent and is frequently altered in malignant cells, thus contributing to tumor cell survival and proliferation. Importantly, a recently developed inhibitor of OST has revealed this enzyme as a potential target for the treatment of incurable drug-resistant tumors. This review summarizes our current knowledge regarding the functions of OST in the light of health and tumor progression, and discusses perspectives on the clinical relevance of inhibiting OST as a tumor treatment.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, unconjugated oligosaccharides that are structurally related to N-glycans (i.e. free N-glycans) are generated either from misfolded N-glycoproteins destined for the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation or from lipid-linked oligosaccharides, donor substrates for N-glycosylation of proteins. The mechanism responsible for the generation of free N-glycans is now well-understood, but the issue of whether other types of free glycans are present remains unclear. Here, we report on the accumulation of free, O-mannosylated glycans in budding yeast that were cultured in medium containing mannose as the carbon source. A structural analysis of these glycans revealed that their structures are identical to those of O-mannosyl glycans that are attached to glycoproteins. Deletion of the cyc8 gene, which encodes for a general transcription repressor, resulted in the accumulation of excessive amounts of free O-glycans, concomitant with a severe growth defect, a reduction in the level of an O-mannosylated protein, and compromised cell wall integrity. Our findings provide evidence in support of a regulated pathway for the degradation of O-glycoproteins in yeast and offer critical insights into the catabolic mechanisms that control the fate of O-glycosylated proteins.

Abstract
Glycans from microbial pathogens are well known pathogen-associated molecular patterns that are recognized by the host immunity; however, little is known about whether and how mammalian self-glycans activate the host immune response, especially in the context of autoimmune disease. Using biochemical fractionation and two-dimensional HPLC, we identify an abundant and bioactive free glycan, the Manβ1-4GlcNAc disaccharide in TREX1-associated autoimmune diseases. We report that both monosaccharide residues and the β1-4 linkage are critical for bioactivity of this disaccharide. We also show that Manβ1-4GlcNAc is produced by oligosaccharyltransferase hydrolysis of lipid-linked oligosaccharides in the ER lumen, followed by ENGase and mannosidase processing in the cytosol and lysosomes. Furthermore, synthetic Manβ1-4GlcNAc disaccharide stimulates a broad immune response in vitro, which is in part dependent on the STING-TBK1 pathway, and enhances antibody response in vivo. Together, our data identify Manβ1-4GlcNAc as a novel innate immune modulator associated with chronic autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Desialylation is a pivotal part of sialic acid metabolism, which initiates the catabolism of glycans by removing the terminal sialic acid residues on glycans, thereby modulating the structure and functions of glycans, glycoproteins, or glycolipids. The functions of sialic acids have been well recognized, whereas the function of desialylation process is underappreciated or largely ignored. However, accumulating evidence demonstrates that desialylation plays an important role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge pertaining to desialylation in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, with a focus on the underlying molecular mechanisms. The potential of targeting desialylation process for diagnostic and therapeutic development is also discussed.

Abstract
Oligosaccharyltransferases (OSTs) N-glycosylate proteins by transferring oligosaccharides from lipid-linked oligosaccharides (LLOs) to asparaginyl residues of Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr acceptor sequons. Mammals have OST isoforms with STT3A or STT3B catalytic subunits for cotranslational or posttranslational N-glycosylation, respectively. OSTs also hydrolyze LLOs, forming free oligosaccharides (fOSs). It has been unclear whether hydrolysis is due to one or both OSTs, segregated from N-glycosylation, and/or regulated. Transfer and hydrolysis were assayed in permeabilized HEK293 kidney and Huh7.5.1 liver cells lacking STT3A or STT3B. Transfer by both STT3A-OST and STT3B-OST with synthetic acceptors was robust. LLO hydrolysis by STT3B-OST was readily detected and surprisingly modulated: Without acceptors, STT3B-OST hydrolyzed Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-LLO but not Man9GlcNAc2-LLO, yet it hydrolyzed both LLOs with acceptors present. In contrast, LLO hydrolysis by STT3A-OST was negligible. STT3A-OST however may be regulatory, because it suppressed STT3B-OST-dependent fOSs. TREX1, a negative innate immunity factor that diminishes immunogenic fOSs derived from LLOs, acted through STT3B-OST as well. In summary, only STT3B-OST hydrolyzes LLOs, depending upon LLO quality and acceptor site occupancy. TREX1 and STT3A suppress STT3B-OST-dependent fOSs. Without strict kinetic limitations during posttranslational N-glycosylation, STT3B-OST can thus moonlight for LLO hydrolysis. In contrast, the STT3A-OST/translocon complex preserves LLOs for temporally fastidious cotranslational N-glycosylation.

Abstract
Proteins on the cell surface and secreted proteins are modified with sugar chains that generate and modulate biological complexity and diversity. Sugar chains not only contribute physically to the conformation and solubility of proteins, but also exert various functions via sugar-binding proteins (lectins) that reside on the cell surface or in organelles of the secretory pathway. However, some glycosidases and lectins are found in the cytosol or nucleus. Recent studies of cytosolic sugar-related molecules have revealed that sugar chains on proteins in the cytosol act as signals of adverse cellular conditions. In this review, we summarize recent reports that cytosolic sugar chains can trigger ubiquitination, followed by proteasomal and autophagic degradation to maintain cellular homeostasis. In addition, we discuss the functions of sugar-binding proteins revealed to date, along with possibilities not yet explored.

Abstract
The cell surface is the platform for presentation of biochemical signals that are required for intercellular communication. Their profile necessarily needs to be responsive to internal and external factors in a highly dynamic manner. The structural features of the signals must meet the criterion of high-density information coding in a minimum of space. Thus, only biomolecules that can generate many different oligomers ('words') from few building blocks ('letters') qualify to meet this challenge. Examining the respective properties of common biocompounds that form natural oligo- and polymers comparatively, starting with nucleotides and amino acids (the first and second alphabets of life), comes up with sugars as clear frontrunner. The enzymatic machinery for the biosynthesis of sugar chains can indeed link monosaccharides, the letters of the third alphabet of life, in a manner to reach an unsurpassed number of oligomers (complex carbohydrates or glycans). Fittingly, the resulting glycome of a cell can be likened to a fingerprint. Conjugates of glycans with proteins and sphingolipids (glycoproteins and glycolipids) are ubiquitous in Nature. This implies a broad (patho)physiologic significance. By looking at the signals, at the writers and the erasers of this information as well as its readers and ensuing consequences, this review intends to introduce a broad readership to the principles of the concept of the sugar code.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase (Ngly1 in mammals) is a de-N-glycosylating enzyme that is highly conserved among eukaryotes. It was recently reported that subjects harboring mutations in the NGLY1 gene exhibited severe systemic symptoms (NGLY1-deficiency). While the enzyme obviously has a critical role in mammals, its precise function remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed Ngly1-deficient mice and found that they are embryonic lethal in C57BL/6 background. Surprisingly, the additional deletion of the gene encoding endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (Engase), which is another de-N-glycosylating enzyme but leaves a single GlcNAc at glycosylated Asn residues, resulted in the partial rescue of the lethality of the Ngly1-deficient mice. Additionally, we also found that a change in the genetic background of C57BL/6 mice, produced by crossing the mice with an outbred mouse strain (ICR) could partially rescue the embryonic lethality of Ngly1-deficient mice. Viable Ngly1-deficient mice in a C57BL/6 and ICR mixed background, however, showed a very severe phenotype reminiscent of the symptoms of NGLY1-deficiency subjects. Again, many of those defects were strongly suppressed by the additional deletion of Engase in the C57BL/6 and ICR mixed background. The defects observed in Ngly1/Engase-deficient mice (C57BL/6 background) and Ngly1-deficient mice (C57BL/6 and ICR mixed background) closely resembled some of the symptoms of patients with an NGLY1-deficiency. These observations strongly suggest that the Ngly1- or Ngly1/Engase-deficient mice could serve as a valuable animal model for studies related to the pathogenesis of the NGLY1-deficiency, and that cytoplasmic ENGase represents one of the potential therapeutic targets for this genetic disorder. Ngly1 is a cytoplasmic de-N-glycosylating enzyme that is ubiquitously found in eukaryotes. This enzyme is involved in a process referred to as endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), one of the quality control mechanisms for newly synthesized proteins. A genetic disorder, NGLY1-deficiency, caused by mutations in the NGLY1 gene has recently been discovered. However, the precise mechanism for the pathogenesis of this devastating disease continues to remain unclear. We report herein that Ngly1-deficient mice are embryonically lethal in a C57BL/6 background. Surprisingly, the lethality was suppressed by crossing the mice with an outbred mouse strain (ICR), suggesting that the phenotypic consequence of Ngly1 is greatly influenced by their genetic background. In both cases, the additional deletion of Engase in Ngly1-deficient mice could strongly mitigate the phenotypes. Interestingly, the remaining defects in Ngly1-deficient or Ngly1/Engase-deficient mice were reminiscent of the symptoms of subjects with an NGLY1-deficiency. Our results clearly point to the importance of Ngly1 in mammals and show that the inhibition of ENGase represents an effective therapy for treating an NGLY1-deficiency. Most importantly, the mice described herein could serve as valuable viable model mice for studies related to the pathophysiology of an NGLY1-deficiency.

Abstract
Free oligosaccharides that are structurally related to N-glycans [free N-glycans (FNGs)] are widely distributed in the cytosol of animal cells. The diverse molecular mechanisms responsible for the formation of these FNGs have been well clarified. In this study we demonstrate the wide occurrence of sialylated FNGs in sera of various animals. The features of these extracellular FNGs are quite distinct from the cytosolic FNGs, as they are Gn2-type glycans, bearing an N,N'-diacetylchitobiose unit at their reducing termini, while the cytosolic FNGs are predominantly Gn1-type, with a single GlcNAc at their reducing termini. The major structures observed varied from species to species, and the structures of the FNGs appear to be correlated with the major sialyl N-glycans on serum glycoproteins, suggesting that the serum FNGs are produced by hepatocytes. Interestingly, glycan-profiles of the FNGs indicated that they are altered in a developmental stage-dependent manner. Sialyl FNGs in the sera may not only be of biological relevance, in that they might reflect the functionality of the liver, but also can be attractive sources for obtaining uniform sialyl FNGs in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycoproteins.

Abstract
Proteins are frequently modified by complex carbohydrates (glycans) that play central roles in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of cells and tissues in humans and lower organisms. Mannose forms an essential building block of protein glycosylation, and its functional involvement as components of larger and diverse α-mannosidic glycoepitopes in important intra- and intercellular glycoimmunological processes is gaining recognition. With a focus on the mannose-rich asparagine (N-linked) glycosylation type, this review summarises the increasing volume of literature covering human and non-human protein mannosylation, including their structures, biosynthesis and spatiotemporal expression. The review also covers their known interactions with specialised host and microbial mannose-recognising C-type lectin receptors (mrCLRs) and antibodies (mrAbs) during inflammation and pathogen infection. Advances in molecular mapping technologies have recently revealed novel immuno-centric mannose-terminating truncated N-glycans, termed paucimannosylation, on human proteins. The cellular presentation of α-mannosidic glycoepitopes on N-glycoproteins appears tightly regulated; α-mannose determinants are relative rare glycoepitopes in physiological extracellular environments, but may be actively secreted or leaked from cells to transmit potent signals when required. Simultaneously, our understanding of the molecular basis on the recognition of mannosidic epitopes by mrCLRs including DC-SIGN, mannose receptor, mannose binding lectin and mrAb is rapidly advancing, together with the functional implications of these interactions in facilitating an effective immune response during physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Ultimately, deciphering these complex mannose-based receptor-ligand interactions at the detailed molecular level will significantly advance our understanding of immunological disorders and infectious diseases, promoting the development of future therapeutics to improve patient clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces two different α-glucosidases, Glucosidase 1 (Gls1) and Glucosidase 2 (Gls2), which are responsible for the removal of the glucose molecules from N-glycans (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2) of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Whether any additional α-glucosidases playing a role in catabolizing the glucosylated N-glycans are produced by this yeast, however, remains unknown. We report herein on a search for additional α-glucosidases in S. cerevisiae. To this end, the precise structures of cytosolic free N-glycans (FNGs), mainly derived from the peptide:N-glycanase (Png1) mediated deglycosylation of N-glycoproteins were analyzed in the endoplasmic reticulum α-glucosidase-deficient mutants. 12 new glucosylated FNG structures were successfully identified through 2-dimentional HPLC analysis. On the other hand, non-glucosylated FNGs were not detected at all under any culture conditions. It can therefore be safely concluded that no catabolic α-glucosidases acting on N-glycans are produced by this yeast.

Abstract
Phosphorylated oligosaccharides (POSs) are produced by the degradation of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides (DLOs) by an unclarified mechanism in mammalian cells. Although POSs are exclusively found in the cytosol, their intracellular fates remain unclear. Our findings indicate that POSs are catabolized via a non-lysosomal glycan degradation pathway that involves a cytosolic endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase). Quantitative and structural analyses of POSs revealed that ablation of the ENGase results in the significant accumulation of POSs with a hexasaccharide structure composed of Manα1,2Manα1,3(Manα1,6)Manβ1,4GlcNAcβ1,4GlcNAc.In vitroENGase assays revealed that the presence of an α1,2-linked mannose residue facilitates the hydrolysis of POSs by the ENGase. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric analyses and fluorescent labeling experiments show that such POSs contain one phosphate group at the reducing end. These results indicate that ENGase efficiently hydrolyzes POSs that are larger than Man4GlcNAc2-P, generating GlcNAc-1-P and neutral Gn1-type free oligosaccharides. These results provide insight into important aspects of the generation and degradation of POSs.

Abstract
NGLY1/Ngly1 is a cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase, i.e. de-N-glycosylating enzyme acting on N-glycoproteins in mammals, generating free, unconjugated N-glycans and deglycosylated peptides in which the N-glycosylated asparagine residues are converted to aspartates. This enzyme is known to be involved in the quality control system for the newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this system, misfolded (glyco)proteins are retrotranslocated to the cytosol, where the 26S proteasomes play a central role in degrading the proteins: a process referred to as ER-associated degradation or ERAD in short. PNGase-mediated deglycosylation is believed to facilitate the efficient degradation of some misfolded glycoproteins. Human patients harboring mutations of NGLY1 gene (NGLY1-deficiency) have recently been discovered, clearly indicating the functional importance of this enzyme. This review summarizes the current state of our knowledge on NGLY1 and its gene product in mammalian cells.

Abstract
In the cytosol of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, most of the free N-glycans (FNGs) are generated from misfolded glycoproteins by the action of the cytoplasmic peptide: N-glycanase (Png1). A cytosol/vacuole α-mannosidase, Ams1, then trims the FNGs to eventually form a trisaccharide composed of Manβ1,4GlcNAc β1,4GlcNAc (Man1GlcNAc2). Whether or not the resulting Man1GlcNAc2 is enzymatically degraded further, however, is currently unknown. The objective of this study was to unveil the fate of Man1GlcNAc2 in S. cerevisiae. Quantitative analyses of the FNGs revealed a steady increase in the amount of Man1GlcNAc2 produced in the post-diauxic and stationary phases, suggesting that this trisaccharide is not catabolized during this period. Inoculation of the stationary phase cells into fresh medium resulted in a reduction in the levels of Man1GlcNAc2. However, this reduction was caused by its dilution due to cell division in the fresh medium. Our results thus indicate that Man1GlcNAc2 is not enzymatically catabolized in S. cerevisiae.
