Analysis of Selenoprotein F Binding to UDP-Glucose:Glycoprotein Glucosyltransferase (UGGT) by a Photoreactive Crosslinker. Chembiochem 2023; 24:e202200444. [PMID: 36219527 DOI: 10.1002/cbic.202200444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
In the endoplasmic reticulum glycoprotein quality control system, UDP-glucose : glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) functions as a folding sensor. Although it is known to form a heterodimer with selenoprotein F (SelenoF), the details of the complex formation remain obscure. A pulldown assay using co-transfected SelenoF and truncated mutants of human UGGT1 (HUGT1) revealed that SelenoF binds to the TRXL2 domain of HUGT1. Additionally, a newly developed photoaffinity crosslinker was selectively introduced into cysteine residues of recombinant SelenoF to determine the spatial orientation of SelenoF to HUGT1. The crosslinking experiments showed that SelenoF formed a covalent bond with amino acids in the TRXL3 region and the interdomain between βS2 and GT24 of HUGT1 via the synthetic crosslinker. SelenoF might play a role in assessing and refining the disulfide bonds of misfolded glycoproteins in the hydrophobic cavity of HUGT1 as it binds to the highly flexible region of HUGT1 to reach its long hydrophobic cavity. Clarification of the SelenoF-binding domain of UGGT and its relative position will help predict and reveal the function of SelenoF from a structural perspective.

Abstract
UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) flags misfolded glycoproteins for ER retention. We report crystal structures of full-length Chaetomium thermophilum UGGT (CtUGGT), two CtUGGT double-cysteine mutants, and its TRXL2 domain truncation (CtUGGT-ΔTRXL2). CtUGGT molecular dynamics (MD) simulations capture extended conformations and reveal clamping, bending, and twisting inter-domain movements. We name "Parodi limit" the maximum distance on the same glycoprotein between a site of misfolding and an N-linked glycan that can be reglucosylated by monomeric UGGT in vitro, in response to recognition of misfold at that site. Based on the MD simulations, we estimate the Parodi limit as around 70-80 Å. Frequency distributions of distances between glycoprotein residues and their closest N-linked glycosylation sites in glycoprotein crystal structures suggests relevance of the Parodi limit to UGGT activity in vivo. Our data support a "one-size-fits-all adjustable spanner" UGGT substrate recognition model, with an essential role for the UGGT TRXL2 domain.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum glycoprotein folding quality control (ERQC) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) preside over cellular glycoprotein secretion and maintain steady glycoproteostasis. When cells turn malignant, cancer cell plasticity is affected and supported either by point mutations, preferential isoform selection, altered expression levels, or shifts to conformational equilibria of a secreted glycoprotein. Such changes are crucial in mediating altered extracellular signalling, metabolic behavior, and adhesion properties of cancer cells. It is therefore conceivable that interference with ERQC and/or ERAD can be used to selectively damage cancers. Indeed, inhibitors of the late stages of ERAD are already in the clinic against cancers such as multiple myeloma. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of the complex relationship between glycoproteostasis and cancer biology and discuss the potential of ERQC and ERAD modulators for the selective targeting of cancer cell plasticity.

Abstract
In this article, we report a relationship between glycan structures and expression levels of a recombinant ER-resident glycoprotein, uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucose: glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT1). The function of glycan structures attached to a glycoprotein is actively studied; however, the glycan structures of recombinant, and not endogenous, glycoproteins have not been examined. In this study, we indicate a relationship between the glycan structure and the level of protein expression. Expression levels were controlled utilizing a series of vectors (pFN21K, pFN22K, pFN23K, and pFN24K HaloTag CMV Flexi Vectors). Qualitative and semi-quantitative confirmation of glycan structures was achieved with tandem mass spectrometry. The results of this study indicate that glycan structures are similar to endogenous glycans at low expression levels.
