Albers MD, Tiemann B, Kaynert JT, Pich A, Bakker H. Conserved cysteines prevent C-mannosylation of mucin Cys domains. FEBS J 2024; 291:3539-3552.

Abstract
Mucins are major components of the mucus. Besides the highly O-glycosylated tandem repeat domains, mucins contain Cys domains (CysDs). CysDs contain conserved disulfide-forming cysteine residues as well as a WxxW motif. Since this is the consensus sequence for tryptophan C-mannosylation, mucin CysDs have been suggested to be targets for C-mannosyltransferases, but this has never been directly shown. Here, we recombinantly expressed human mucin CysDs in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and analyzed the C-mannosylation status. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that the putative C-mannose site is not or only barely C-mannosylated. However, mutation of the adjacent cysteine residues enabled C-mannosylation to occur. In contrast to mucin CysDs, the homologous CysD of human cartilage intermediate layer protein 1 (CILP1) lacks these cysteine residues preceding the WxxW motif. We show that CILP1 CysD is C-mannosylated, but introducing a cysteine at the -2 position causes this modification to be lost. We thus conclude that the presence of cysteine residues prevents the modification of the WxxW motif in CysDs.

Abstract
Protein O-linked mannose (O-Man) glycosylation is an evolutionary conserved posttranslational modification that fulfills important biological roles during embryonic development. Three nonredundant enzyme families, POMT1/POMT2, TMTC1-4, and TMEM260, selectively coordinate the initiation of protein O-Man glycosylation on distinct classes of transmembrane proteins, including α-dystroglycan, cadherins, and plexin receptors. However, a systematic investigation of their substrate specificities is lacking, in part due to the ubiquitous expression of O-Man glycosyltransferases in cells, which precludes analysis of pathway-specific O-Man glycosylation on a proteome-wide scale. Here, we apply a targeted workflow for membrane glycoproteomics across five human cell lines to extensively map O-Man substrates and genetically deconstruct O-Man initiation by individual and combinatorial knockout of O-Man glycosyltransferase genes. We established a human cell library for the analysis of substrate specificities of individual O-Man initiation pathways by quantitative glycoproteomics. Our results identify 180 O-Man glycoproteins, demonstrate new protein targets for the POMT1/POMT2 pathway, and show that TMTC1-4 and TMEM260 pathways widely target distinct Ig-like protein domains of plasma membrane proteins involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. The identification of O-Man on Ig-like folds adds further knowledge on the emerging concept of domain-specific O-Man glycosylation which opens for functional studies of O-Man-glycosylated adhesion molecules and receptors.

Abstract
The chemical modification of biopolymers like peptides and proteins is a key technology to access vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Similarly, the tunable derivatization of individual amino acids is important as they are key building blocks of biomolecules, bioactive natural products, synthetic polymers, and innovative materials. The high diversity of functional groups present in amino acid-based molecules represents a significant challenge for their selective derivatization Recently, visible light-mediated transformations have emerged as a powerful strategy for achieving chemoselective biomolecule modification. This technique offers numerous advantages over other methods, including a higher selectivity, mild reaction conditions and high functional-group tolerance. This review provides an overview of the most recent methods covering the photoinduced modification for single amino acids and site-selective functionalization in peptides and proteins under mild and even biocompatible conditions. Future challenges and perspectives are discussed beyond the diverse types of photocatalytic transformations that are currently available.

Abstract
Premelanosome protein (PMEL), a melanocyte-specific glycoprotein, has an essential role in melanosome maturation, assembling amyloid fibrils for melanin deposition. PMEL undergoes several post-translational modifications, including N- and O-glycosylations, which are associated with proper melanosome development. C-mannosylation is a rare type of protein glycosylation at a tryptophan residue that might regulate the secretion and localization of proteins. PMEL has one putative C-mannosylation site in its core amyloid fragment (CAF); however, there is no report focusing on C-mannosylation of PMEL. To investigate this, we expressed recombinant PMEL in SK-MEL-28 human melanoma cells and purified the protein. Mass spectrometry analyses demonstrated that human PMEL is C-mannosylated at multiple tryptophan residues in its CAF and N-terminal fragment (NTF). In addition to the W153 or W156 residue (CAF), which lies in the consensus sequence for C-mannosylation, the W104 residue (NTF) was C-mannosylated without the consensus sequence. To determine the effects of the modifications, we deleted the PMEL gene by using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and re-expressed wild-type or C-mannosylation-defective mutants of PMEL, in which the C-mannosylated tryptophan was replaced with a phenylalanine residue (WF mutation), in SK-MEL-28 cells. Importantly, fibril-containing melanosomes were significantly decreased in W104F mutant PMEL-re-expressing cells compared with wild-type PMEL, observed using transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, western blot and immunofluorescence analysis suggested that the W104F mutation may cause mild endoplasmic reticulumretention, possibly associated with early misfolding, and lysosomal misaggregation, thus reducing functional fibril formation. Our results demonstrate that C-mannosylation of PMEL is required for proper melanosome development by regulating PMEL-derived fibril formation.

Abstract
C-linked glycosylation is essential for the trafficking, folding and function of secretory and transmembrane proteins involved in cellular communication processes. The tryptophan C-mannosyltransferase (CMT) enzymes that install the modification attach a mannose to the first tryptophan of WxxW/C sequons in nascent polypeptide chains by an unknown mechanism. Here, we report cryogenic-electron microscopy structures of Caenorhabditis elegans CMT in four key states: apo, acceptor peptide-bound, donor-substrate analog-bound and as a trapped ternary complex with both peptide and a donor-substrate mimic bound. The structures indicate how the C-mannosylation sequon is recognized by this CMT and its paralogs, and how sequon binding triggers conformational activation of the donor substrate: a process relevant to all glycosyltransferase C superfamily enzymes. Our structural data further indicate that the CMTs adopt an unprecedented electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism to enable the C-glycosylation of proteins. These results afford opportunities for understanding human disease and therapeutic targeting of specific CMT paralogs.

FEBS Open Bio 2023; 13:490-499.

Abstract
C-mannosylation is a rare type of protein glycosylation whereby a single mannose is added to the first tryptophan in the consensus sequence Trp-Xaa-Xaa-Trp/Cys (in which Xaa represents any amino acid). Its consensus sequence is mainly found in proteins containing a thrombospondin type-1 repeat (TSR1) domain and in type I cytokine receptors. In these proteins, C-mannosylation affects protein secretion, intracellular localization, and protein stability; however, the role of C-mannosylation in proteins that are not type I cytokine receptors and/or do not contain a TSR1 domain is less well explored. In this study, we focused on human vitelline membrane outer layer protein 1 homolog (VMO1). VMO1, which possesses two putative C-mannosylation sites, is a 21-kDa secreted protein that does not contain a TSR1 domain and is not a type I cytokine receptor. Mass spectrometry analyses revealed that VMO1 is C-mannosylated at Trp105 but not at Trp44 . Although C-mannosylation does not affect the extracellular secretion of VMO1, it destabilizes the intracellular VMO1. In addition, a structural comparison between VMO1 and C-mannosylated VMO1 showed that the modification of the mannose changes the conformation of three loops in VMO1. Taken together, our results demonstrate the first example of C-mannosylation for protein destabilization of VMO1.

Abstract
This review is the tenth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2018. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to glycan and glycoprotein analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, new methods, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation and the use of arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides, and biopharmaceuticals. Most of the applications are presented in tabular form. The third part of the review covers medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions, and applications to chemical synthesis. The reported work shows increasing use of combined new techniques such as ion mobility and highlights the impact that MALDI imaging is having across a range of diciplines. MALDI is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and the range of applications continue steady progress.

Abstract
Radical-based reactions usually exhibit excellent functional-group compatibilities due to their mild initiation conditions. Glycosyl radical involved C-glycosylation modifications are important strategies to achieve highly regio- and chemoselective constructions of C-glycosidic bonds or C-glycoside linkages of peptides and proteins. In this Concept, we cover recent developments in glycosyl radical-based synthesis of unnatural amino acids and late-stage modification of peptides and proteins, and provide a preliminary outlook on the possible development of this direction in the future.

Abstract
C-Mannosylation is a rare type of protein glycosylation and is reportedly critical for the proper folding and secretion of parental proteins. Still, the effects of C-mannosylation on the biological functions of these modified proteins remain to be elucidated. The Trp-x-x-Trp (WxxW) sequences, whose first tryptophan (Trp) can be C-mannosylated, constitute the consensus motifs for this glycosylation modification and are commonly found in thrombospondin type 1 repeats that regulate molecular functions of thrombospondin 1 in binding and activation of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). TGF-β plays critical roles in the control of the central nervous system including synaptogenesis. Here, we investigated whether C-mannosylation of the synthetic Trp-Ser-Pro-Trp (WSPW) peptide may confer certain functions to this peptide in TGF-β-mediated synaptogenesis. By using primary cultured rat astrocytes and cortical neurons, we found that the C-mannosylated WSPW (C-Man-WSPW) peptide, but not non-mannosylated WSPW peptide, suppressed astrocyte-conditioned medium (ACM)-stimulated synaptogenesis. C-Man-WSPW peptide inhibited both ACM- and recombinant mature TGF-β1-induced activations of Smad 2, an important mediator in TGF-β signaling. Interactions of recombinant mature TGF-β with the C-Man-WSPW peptide were similar to those with non-C-mannosylated WSPW peptide. Taken together, our results reveal a novel function of C-mannosylation of the WxxW motif in signaling and synaptogenesis mediated by TGF-β. Molecular details of how C-mannosylation affects the biological functions of WxxW motifs deserve future study for clarification.

Abstract
DPY19L3 has been identified as a C-mannosyltransferase for thrombospondin type-1 repeat domain-containing proteins. In this study, we focused on the role of DPY19L3 in the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 mouse myoblast cells. We carried out DPY19L3 gene depletion using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The result showed that these DPY19L3-knockout cells could not be induced for differentiation. Moreover, the phosphorylation levels of MEK/ERK and p70S6K were suppressed in the DPY19L3-knockout cells compared with that of parent cells, suggesting that the protein(s) that is(are) DPY19L3-mediated C-mannosylated and regulate(s) MEK/ERK or p70S6K signaling is(are) required for the differentiation.

Abstract
C-Mannosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Monomeric α-mannose is attached to specific Trp residues at the first Trp in the Trp-x-x-Trp/Cys (W-x-x-W/C) motif of substrate proteins, by the action of C-mannosyltransferases, DPY19-related gene products. The acceptor substrate proteins are included in the thrombospondin type I repeat (TSR) superfamily, cytokine receptor type I family, and others. Previous studies demonstrated that C-mannosylation plays critical roles in the folding, sorting, and/or secretion of substrate proteins. A C-mannosylation-defective gene mutation was identified in humans as the disease-associated variant affecting a C-mannosylation motif of W-x-x-W of ADAMTSL1, which suggests the involvement of defects in protein C-mannosylation in human diseases such as developmental glaucoma, myopia, and/or retinal defects. On the other hand, monomeric C-mannosyl Trp (C-Man-Trp), a deduced degradation product of C-mannosylated proteins, occurs in cells and extracellular fluids. Several studies showed that the level of C-Man-Trp is upregulated in blood of patients with renal dysfunction, suggesting that the metabolism of C-Man-Trp may be involved in human kidney diseases. Together, protein C-mannosylation is considered to play important roles in the biosynthesis and functions of substrate proteins, and the altered regulation of protein C-manosylation may be involved in the pathophysiology of human diseases. In this review, we consider the biochemical and biomedical knowledge of protein C-mannosylation and C-Man-Trp, and introduce recent studies concerning their significance in biology and medicine.

Abstract
The biological functions of tryptophan C-mannosylation are poorly understood, in part, due to a dearth of methods for preparing pure glycopeptides and glycoproteins with this modification. To address this issue, efficient and scalable methods are required for installing this protein modification. Here, we describe unique Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling conditions that utilize photocatalysis or a Hantzsch ester photoreductant to couple glycosyl halides with (hetero)aryl bromides, thereby enabling the α-C-mannosylation of 2-bromo-tryptophan, peptides thereof, and (hetero)aryl bromides more generally. We also report that 2-(α-d-mannopyranosyl)-L-tryptophan undergoes facile anomerization in the presence of acid: something that must be considered when preparing and handling peptides with this modification. These developments enabled the first automated solid-phase peptide syntheses of C-mannosylated glycopeptides, which we used to map the epitope of an antibody, as well as providing the first verified synthesis of Carmo-HrTH-I, a C-mannosylated insect hormone. To complement this approach, we also performed late-stage tryptophan C-mannosylation on a diverse array of peptides, demonstrating the broad scope and utility of this methodology for preparing glycopeptides.

Abstract
Glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylation (GGH) is one type of post-translational modification, which is mainly observed in collagen-like domain-containing proteins. Using LC-MS/MS analysis, we found a GGH-like modification at Lys65 of fibrinogen-like protein 1 (FGL1), although it does not contain a collagen-like domain. To identify the glycosyltransferases responsible for this modification, we established LH3/GLT25D1-knockout FGL1-overexpressing HT1080 cell lines. The result showed that knockout of LH3 or GLT25D1 significantly inhibited the glycosylation. Furthermore, deficiency of GGH by point mutation of the FGL1 protein or knockout of the GGH-related glycosyltransferase reduced FGL1 protein levels. Taken together, these data indicate that Lys65 of FGL1 is glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylated by LH3 and GLT25D1. Our results provide novel insights to regulate various FGL1 functions.

Abstract
C-mannosylation is a modification of tryptophan residues with a single mannose and can affect protein folding, secretion, and/or function. To date, only a few proteins have been demonstrated to be C-mannosylated, and studies that globally assess protein C-mannosylation are scarce. To interrogate the C-mannosylome of human induced pluripotent stem cells, we compared the secretomes of CRISPR–Cas9 mutants lacking either the C-mannosyltransferase DPY19L1 or DPY19L3 to WT human induced pluripotent stem cells using MS-based quantitative proteomics. The secretion of numerous proteins was reduced in these mutants, including that of A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin Motifs 16 (ADAMTS16), an extracellular protease that was previously reported to be essential for optic fissure fusion in zebrafish eye development. To test the functional relevance of this observation, we targeted dpy19l1 or dpy19l3 in embryos of the Japanese rice fish medaka (Oryzias latipes) by CRISPR–Cas9. We observed that targeting of dpy19l3 partially caused defects in optic fissure fusion, called coloboma. We further showed in a cellular model that DPY19L1 and DPY19L3 mediate C-mannosylation of a recombinantly expressed thrombospondin type 1 repeat of ADAMTS16 and thereby support its secretion. Taken together, our findings imply that DPY19L3-mediated C-mannosylation is involved in eye development by assisting secretion of the extracellular protease ADAMTS16. TSR1 of ADAMTS16 can be C-mannosylated. Deletion of DPY19L1 or DPY19L3 in hiPSCs caused reduced secretion of ADAMTS16. Targeting of dpy19l3 in medaka occasionally led to coloboma.

Abstract
Tryptophan C-mannosylation is an unusual co-translational protein modification performed by metazoans and apicomplexan protists. The prevalence and biological functions of this modification are poorly understood, with progress in the field hampered by a dearth of convenient tools for installing and detecting the modification. Here, we engineer a yeast system to produce a diverse array of proteins with and without tryptophan C-mannosylation and interrogate the modification's influence on protein stability and function. This system also enabled mutagenesis studies to identify residues of the glycosyltransferase and its protein substrates that are crucial for catalysis. The collection of modified proteins accrued during this work facilitated the generation and thorough characterization of monoclonal antibodies against tryptophan C-mannosylation. These antibodies empowered proteomic analyses of the brain C-glycome by enriching for peptides possessing tryptophan C-mannosylation. This study revealed many new modification sites on proteins throughout the secretory pathway with both conventional and non-canonical consensus sequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND C-mannosylation is a type of protein glycosylation. Human Isthmin-1 (ISM1) is a 52-kDa secreted protein with a thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR) domain, containing two consensus C-mannosylation sequences at Trp223 and Trp226. In this study, we sought to examine the role of C-mannosylation in the secretion of ISM1. METHODS We established and cultured an ISM1-overexpressing HT1080 cell line and purified recombinant ISM1 for analysis from the conditioned medium by LC-MS/MS. Subcellular localization of ISM1 was observed by confocal fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS We found that ISM1 is C-mannosylated at Trp223 and Trp226 in the TSR domain. To determine the functions of the C-mannosylation of ISM1, we established a C-mannosylation-defective mutant ISM1-overexpressing HT1080 cell line and measured its secretion of ISM1. The secretion of ISM1 decreased significantly in this mutant ISM1-overexpressing line compared with wild-type cells. Furthermore, ISM1 was N-glycosylated only in these C-mannosylation-defective cells. CONCLUSIONS ISM1 is C-mannosylated in its TSR domain, and the status of the C-mannosylation of ISM1 affects its N-glycosylation. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The C-mannosylation of ISM1 regulates its N-glycosylation status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND C-mannosylation is a unique type of glycosylation. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) is a multidomain extracellular metalloproteinase that contains several potential C-mannosylation sites. Although some ADAMTS family proteins have been reported to be C-mannosylated proteins, whether C-mannosylation affects the activation and protease activity of these proteins is unclear. METHODS We established wild-type and mutant ADAMTS4-overexpressing HT1080 cell lines. Recombinant ADAMTS4 was purified from the conditioned medium of the wild-type ADAMTS4-overexpressing cells, and the C-mannosylation sites of ADAMTS4 were identified by LC-MS/MS. The processing, secretion, and intracellular localization of ADAMTS4 were examined by immunoblot and immunofluorescence analyses. ADAMTS4 enzymatic activity was evaluated by assessing the cleavage of recombinant aggrecan. RESULTS We identified that ADAMTS4 is C-mannosylated at Trp404 in the metalloprotease domain and at Trp523, Trp526, and Trp529 in the thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR). The replacement of Trp404 with Phe affected ADAMTS4 processing, without affecting secretion and intracellular localization. In contrast, the substitution of Trp523, Trp526, and Trp529 with Phe residues suppressed ADAMTS4 secretion, processing, intracellular trafficking, and enzymatic activity. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that the C-mannosylation of ADAMTS4 plays important roles in protein processing, intracellular trafficking, secretion, and enzymatic activity. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Because C-mannosylation appears to regulate many ADAMTS4 functions, C-mannosylation may also affect other members of the ADAMTS superfamily.

Abstract
C-Mannosylation is a relatively rare form of protein glycosylation involving the attachment of an α-mannopyranosyl residue to C-2 of the indole moiety of the amino acid tryptophan. This type of linkage was initially discovered in RNase 2 from human urine but later confirmed to be present in many other important proteins. Based on NMR experiments and extensive molecular dynamics simulations on the hundred microsecond timescale we demonstrate that, for isolated glycopeptides and denatured RNase 2, the C-linked mannopyranosyl residue exists as an ensemble of conformations, among which 1C4 is the most abundant. However, for native RNase 2, molecular dynamics and NMR studies revealed that the mannopyranosyl residue favors a specific conformation, which optimally stabilizes the protein fold through a network of hydrogen bonds and which leads to a significant reduction of the protein dynamics on the microsecond timescale. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the biological role of C-mannosylation. NMR and MD show that C-linked mannose exists as an ensemble of conformations Conformation of mannose is influenced by the protein environment and solvent In RNase 2 mannose favors a conformation that optimally stabilizes the protein fold Efficient methods for analysis of a large number of MD trajectories are presented

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated importance of C-mannosylation for efficient protein secretion. To study its impact on protein folding and stability, we analyzed both C-mannosylated and non-C-mannosylated thrombospondin type 1 repeats (TSRs) of netrin receptor UNC-5. In absence of C-mannosylation, UNC-5 TSRs could only be obtained at low temperature and a significant proportion displayed incorrect intermolecular disulfide bridging, which was hardly observed when C-mannosylated. Glycosylated TSRs exhibited higher resistance to thermal and reductive denaturation processes, and the presence of C-mannoses promoted the oxidative folding of a reduced and denatured TSR in vitro. Molecular dynamics simulations supported the experimental studies and showed that C-mannoses can be involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding and limit the flexibility of the TSR tryptophan-arginine ladder. We propose that in the endoplasmic reticulum folding process, C-mannoses orient the underlying tryptophan residues and facilitate the formation of the tryptophan-arginine ladder, thereby influencing the positioning of cysteines and disulfide bridging.

Abstract
Apicomplexan parasites are amongst the most prevalent and morbidity-causing pathogens worldwide. They are responsible for severe diseases in humans and livestock and are thus of great public health and economic importance. Until the sequencing of apicomplexan genomes at the beginning of this century, the occurrence of N- and O-glycoproteins in these parasites was much debated. The synthesis of rudimentary and divergent N-glycans due to lineage-specific gene loss is now well established and has been recently reviewed. Here, we will focus on recent studies that clarified classical O-glycosylation pathways and described new nucleocytosolic glycosylations in Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agents of toxoplasmosis. We will also review the glycosylation of proteins containing thrombospondin type 1 repeats by O-fucosylation and C-mannosylation, newly discovered in Toxoplasma and the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The functional significance of these post-translational modifications has only started to emerge, but the evidence points towards roles for these protein glycosylation pathways in tissue cyst wall rigidity and persistence in the host, oxygen sensing, and stability of proteins involved in host invasion.

RSC Adv 2018; 8:41012-41022.

Abstract
Cordyceps militaris is a crude dietary therapeutic mushroom with high nutritional and medicinal values. Mushroom-derived polysaccharides have been found to possess antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activities. This study aimed to partially clarify the structural characterization and comparatively evaluate hypolipidemic potentials of intracellular- (IPCM) and extracellular polysaccharides of C. militaris (EPCM) in high fat diet fed mice. Results indicated that IPCM-2 is α-pyran polysaccharide with an average molecular weight of 32.5 kDa, was mainly composed of mannose, glucose and galactose with mass percentages of 51.94%, 10.54%, and 37.25%, respectively. EPCM-2 is an α-pyran polysaccharide with an average molecular weight of 20 kDa that is mainly composed of mannose, glucose and galactose with mass percentages of 44.51%, 18.33%, and 35.38%, respectively. In in vivo study, EPCM-1 treatment (100 mg kg-1 d-1) showed potential effects on improving serum lipid profiles of hyperlipidemic mice, reflected by decreasing serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels by 20.05%, 45.45% and 52.63%, respectively, while IPCM-1 treatment (100 mg kg-1 d-1) remarkably decreased TC, TG and LDL-C levels by 20.74%, 47.93%, and 38.25%, respectively. In addition, EPCM-1 ameliorated hyperlipidemia possibly through upregulating the expression of serum lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and down-regulating the expression of hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR), as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, while IPCM-1 remarkably upregulated the expression of serum LPL. This study confirms polysaccharides from C. militaris could be explored as functional foods or natural medicines for preventing hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
C-mannosylation is a rare type of protein glycosylation, the functions and mechanisms of which remain unclear. Recently, we identified DPY19L3 as a C-mannosyltransferase of R-spondin1 in human cells. DPY19L3 is predicted to be a multipass transmembrane protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, its structure is undetermined. In this study, we propose a topological structure of DPY19L3 by in silico analysis and experimental methods such as redox-sensitive luciferase assay and introduction of N-glycosylation sites, suggesting that DPY19L3 comprises 11 transmembrane regions and two re-entrant loops with the N- and C-terminal ends facing the cytoplasm and ER lumen, respectively. Furthermore, DPY19L3 has four predicted N-glycosylation sites, and we have demonstrated that DPY19L3 is N-glycosylated at Asn118 and Asn704 but not Asn319 and Asn439 , supporting our topological model. By mass spectrometry, we measured the C-mannosyltransferase activity of N-glycosylation-defective mutants of DPY19L3 and isoform2, a splice variant, which lacks the C-terminal luminal region of DPY19L3. Isoform2 does not possess C-mannosyltransferase activity, indicating the importance of the C-terminal region; however, N-glycosylations of DPY19L3 do not have any roles for its enzymatic activity. These novel findings on DPY19L3 provide important insights into the mechanism of C-mannosylation.

Abstract
Mucus is a hydrogel that constitutes the first innate defense in all mammals. The main organic component of mucus, gel-forming mucins, forms a complex network through both reversible and irreversible interactions that drive mucus gel formation. Significant advances in the understanding of irreversible gel-forming mucins assembly have been made using recombinant protein approaches. However, little is known about the reversible interactions that may finely modulate mucus viscoelasticity, which can be characterized using rheology. This approach can be used to investigate both the nature of gel-forming mucins interactions and factors that influence hydrogel formation. This knowledge is directly relevant to the development of new drugs to modulate mucus viscoelasticity and to restore normal mucus functions in diseases such as in cystic fibrosis. The aim of the present review is to summarize the current knowledge about the relationship between the mucus protein matrix and its functions, with emphasis on mucus viscoelasticity.

Enrichment and characterization of a bacterial mixture capable of utilizing C-mannosyl tryptophan as a carbon source. Glycoconj J 2018; 35:165-176. [PMID: 29335800 DOI: 10.1007/s10719-017-9807-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2017] [Revised: 11/18/2017] [Accepted: 11/22/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
C-Mannosylation, a protein-modification found in various eukaryotes, involves the attachment of a single mannose molecule to selected tryptophan residues of proteins. Since C-mannosyl tryptophan (CMW) was detected in human urine, it is generally thought that CMW is not catabolized inside our body and instead is excreted via the urine. This paper reports enrichment of a bacterial consortium from soil that degrades CMW. The bacteria grew in minimal medium supplemented with CMW as the carbon source. Interestingly, even after successive clonal picks of individual colonies, several species were still present in each colony as revealed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, indicating that a single species may not be responsible for this activity. A next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis was therefore carried out in order to determine which bacteria were responsible for the catabolism of CMW. It was found that a species of Sphingomonadaceae family, but not others, increased with simultaneous decrease of CMW in the media, suggesting that this species is most likely the one that is actively involved in the degradation of CMW.
