Hirayama H, Tachida Y, Fujinawa R, Matsuda Y, Murase T, Nishiuchi Y, Suzuki T. Development of a fluorescence and quencher-based FRET assay for detection of endogenous peptide:N-glycanase/NGLY1 activity. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107121. [PMID: 38417795 PMCID: PMC11065741 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107121] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024] Open
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
Biallelic mutations in the gene that encodes the enzyme N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) cause a rare disease with multi-symptomatic features including developmental delay, intellectual disability, neuropathy, and seizures. NGLY1's activity in human neural cells is currently not well understood. To understand how NGLY1 gene loss leads to the specific phenotypes of NGLY1 deficiency, we employed direct conversion of NGLY1 patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to functional cortical neurons. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional studies of iPSC-derived neurons lacking NGLY1 function revealed several major cellular processes that were altered, including protein aggregate-clearing functionality, mitochondrial homeostasis, and synaptic dysfunctions. These phenotypes were rescued by introduction of a functional NGLY1 gene and were observed in iPSC-derived mature neurons but not astrocytes. Finally, laser capture microscopy followed by mass spectrometry provided detailed characterization of the composition of protein aggregates specific to NGLY1-deficient neurons. Future studies will harness this knowledge for therapeutic development.

Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation are genetic disorders that occur due to defects in protein and lipid glycosylation pathways. A deficiency of N-glycanase 1, encoded by the NGLY1 gene, results in a congenital disorder of deglycosylation. The NGLY1 enzyme is mainly involved in cleaving N-glycans from misfolded, retro-translocated glycoproteins in the cytosol from the endoplasmic reticulum before their proteasomal degradation or activation. Despite the essential role of NGLY1 in deglycosylation pathways, the exact consequences of NGLY1 deficiency on global cellular protein glycosylation have not yet been investigated. We undertook a multiplexed tandem mass tags-labeling-based quantitative glycoproteomics and proteomics analysis of fibroblasts from NGLY1-deficient individuals carrying different biallelic pathogenic variants in NGLY1. This quantitative mass spectrometric analysis detected 8041 proteins and defined a proteomic signature of differential expression across affected individuals and controls. Proteins that showed significant differential expression included phospholipid phosphatase 3, stromal cell-derived factor 1, collagen alpha-1 (IV) chain, hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1, and thrombospondin-1. We further detected a total of 3255 N-glycopeptides derived from 550 glycosylation sites of 407 glycoproteins by multiplexed N-glycoproteomics. Several extracellular matrix glycoproteins and adhesion molecules showed altered abundance of N-glycopeptides. Overall, we observed distinct alterations in specific glycoproteins, but our data revealed no global accumulation of glycopeptides in the patient-derived fibroblasts, despite the genetic defect in NGLY1. Our findings highlight new molecular and system-level insights for understanding NGLY1-CDDG.

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.

Abstract
O-GlcNAc is a pleotropic, enigmatic post-translational modification (PTM). This PTM modifies thousands of proteins differentially across tissue types and regulates diverse cellular signaling processes. O-GlcNAc is implicated in numerous diseases, and the advent of O-GlcNAc perturbation as a novel class of therapeutic underscores the importance of identifying and quantifying the O-GlcNAc modified proteome. Here, we review recent advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics that will be critical in elucidating the role of this unique glycosylation system in health and disease.

Abstract
Tissue homeostasis requires a delicate balance between stem cell self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation. Essential to this process is glycosylation, with both intra-and extra-cellular glycosylation being required for stem cell homeostasis. However, it remains unknown how intracellular glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation, interfaces with cellular components of the extracellular glycosylation machinery, like the cytosolic N-glycanase NGLY1. In this study, we utilize the Drosophila gut and uncover a pathway in which O-GlcNAcylation cooperates with the NGLY1 homologue PNG1 to regulate proliferation in intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and apoptosis in differentiated enterocytes. Further, the CncC antioxidant signaling pathway and ENGase, an enzyme involved in the processing of free oligosaccharides in the cytosol, interact with O-GlcNAc and PNG1 through regulation of protein aggregates to contribute to gut maintenance. These findings reveal a complex coordinated regulation between O-GlcNAcylation and the cytosolic glycanase PNG1 critical to balancing proliferation and apoptosis to maintain gut homeostasis. Understanding glycosylation is of great importance as changes in both intra- and extra-cellular glycosylation have been well documented in diseases. However, it remains relatively unclear how intracellular glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation, interfaces with the cellular machinery of extracellular glycosylation. In this study, we seek to understand how coordination between a cytosolic N-glycanase, NGLY1, and intracellular glycosylation, is utilized during stem cell proliferation. Using the Drosophila gut as a model system, our data showed O-GlcNAcylation and the Drosophila homologue of NGY1, PNG1, have key roles in both progenitor and differentiated cells that contribute to tissue homeostasis. Further, the CncC antioxidant signaling pathway and ENGase, an enzyme involved in the processing of free oligosaccharides in the cytosol, interact with O-GlcNAc and PNG1 through regulation of protein aggregates to contribute to gut maintenance. Our study suggests that alterations in O-GlcNAc and NGLY1 could be future targets utilized as therapeutics for nutrient-sensitive stem cell-derived diseases such as cancer.

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.

Abstract
Cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase (NGLY1 in mammals), a highly conserved enzyme in eukaryotes, catalyzes the deglycosylation of N-glycans that are attached to glycopeptide/glycoproteins. In 2012, an autosomal recessive disorder related to the NGLY1 gene, which was referred to as NGLY1 deficiency, was reported. Since then, more than 100 patients have been identified. Patients with this disease exhibit various symptoms, including various motor deficits and other neurological problems. Effective therapeutic treatments for this disease, however, have not been established. Most recently, it was demonstrated that the intracerebroventricular administration of an adeno-associated virus 9 vector expressing human NGLY1 during the weaning period allowed some motor functions to be recovered in Ngly1-/- rats. This observation led us to hypothesize that a therapeutic intervention for improving these motor deficits or other neurological symptoms found in the patients might be possible. To achieve this, it is critical to establish robust and facile methods for assaying NGLY1 activity in biological samples, for the early diagnosis and evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of NGLY1 deficiency. In this mini-review, we summarize progress made in the development of various assay methods for NGLY1 activity, as well as a recent progress in the identification of NGLY1 deficiency-specific biomarkers.

Abstract
Antibodies against posttranslational modifications (PTMs) such as lysine acetylation, ubiquitin remnants, or phosphotyrosine have resulted in significant advances in our understanding of the fundamental roles of these PTMs in biology. However, the roles of a number of PTMs remain largely unexplored due to the lack of robust enrichment reagents. The addition of N-acetylglucosamine to serine and threonine residues (O-GlcNAc) by the O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) is a PTM implicated in numerous biological processes and disease states but with limited techniques for its study. Here, we evaluate a new mixture of anti-O-GlcNAc monoclonal antibodies for the immunoprecipitation of native O-GlcNAcylated peptides from cells and tissues. The anti-O-GlcNAc antibodies display good sensitivity and high specificity toward O-GlcNAc-modified peptides and do not recognize O-GalNAc or GlcNAc in extended glycans. Applying this antibody-based enrichment strategy to synaptosomes from mouse brain tissue samples, we identified over 1300 unique O-GlcNAc-modified peptides and over 1000 sites using just a fraction of sample preparation and instrument time required in other landmark investigations of O-GlcNAcylation. Our rapid and robust method greatly simplifies the analysis of O-GlcNAc signaling and will help to elucidate the role of this challenging PTM in health and disease. Anti-O-GlcNAc antibodies are fast and simple enrichment reagents. Anti-O-GlcNAc antibodies are sensitive and achieve significant depth of coverage. Anti-O-GlcNAc antibodies are specific for singular O-GlcNAc modifications. Anti-O-GlcNAc antibody enrichment techniques can be applied to cells and tissues. HCD product-triggered EThcD data acquisition improves depth of coverage.

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.

High-throughput protein modification quantitation analysis using intact protein MRM and its application on hENGase inhibitor screening. Talanta 2021; 231:122384.

Abstract
Proteins are widely used as drug targets, enzyme substrates, and biomarkers for numerous diseases. The emerging demand for proteins quantitation has been increasing in multiple fields. Currently, there is still a big gap for high-throughput protein quantitation at intact protein level using label-free method. Here we choose ribonuclease B (RNB) as a model, which is the substrate for human endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (hENGase), a promising drug target for the treatment of N-Glycanase deficiency. Intact proteinlevel multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) methods were initally developed and optimized to quantify RNB and deglycosylated RNB (RNB-deg), with the S/N ratio improved by nearly 20-fold compared to the traditional full MS scan methods. To further increase the throughput making it possible for hENGase inhibitors screen, the protein MRM methods were introduced to the RapidFire-MS/MS system, achieving at least 12-fold throughput improvement. This assay was further optimized into 384-well plate format for compound screening with S/B ratio >37-fold and Z' factor >0.7 that is suitable for high-throughput screening of compound collections with a speed of 2 h per 384-well plate and an ability to screen over 3000 compounds per day at a single concentration dose. This 384-well plate based automated SPE-MS/MS assay is efficient and robust for compound screening and the assay format has a wide applicability to protein targets for other disease models.

Abstract
Asparagine-linked N-glycans on proteins have diverse structures, and their functions vary according to their structures. In recent years, it has become possible to obtain high quantities of N-glycans via isolation and chemical/enzymatic/chemoenzymatic synthesis. This has allowed for progress in the elucidation of N-glycan functions at the molecular level. Interaction analyses with lectins by glycan arrays or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using various N-glycans have revealed the molecular basis for the recognition of complex structures of N-glycans. Preparation of proteins modified with homogeneous N-glycans revealed the influence of N-glycan modifications on protein functions. Furthermore, N-glycans have potential applications in drug development. This review discusses recent advances in the chemical biology of N-glycans.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation, the addition of a single N-acetylglucosamine residue to serine and threonine residues of cytoplasmic, nuclear, or mitochondrial proteins, is a widespread regulatory posttranslational modification. It is involved in the response to nutritional status and stress, and its dysregulation is associated with diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to diabetes. Although the modification was first detected over 35 years ago, research into the function of O-GlcNAcylation has accelerated dramatically in the last 10 years owing to the development of new enrichment and mass spectrometry techniques that facilitate its analysis. This article summarizes methods for O-GlcNAc enrichment, key mass spectrometry instrumentation advancements, particularly those that allow modification site localization, and software tools that allow analysis of data from O-GlcNAc-modified peptides.

Abstract
N-Glycanase 1 (NGLY1) is a cytoplasmic deglycosylating enzyme. Loss-of-function mutations in the NGLY1 gene cause NGLY1 deficiency, which is characterized by developmental delay, seizures, and a lack of sweat and tears. To model the phenotypic variability observed among patients, we crossed a Drosophila model of NGLY1 deficiency onto a panel of genetically diverse strains. The resulting progeny showed a phenotypic spectrum from 0 to 100% lethality. Association analysis on the lethality phenotype, as well as an evolutionary rate covariation analysis, generated lists of modifying genes, providing insight into NGLY1 function and disease. The top association hit was Ncc69 (human NKCC1/2), a conserved ion transporter. Analyses in NGLY1-/- mouse cells demonstrated that NKCC1 has an altered average molecular weight and reduced function. The misregulation of this ion transporter may explain the observed defects in secretory epithelium function in NGLY1 deficiency patients.

Abstract
About half of all newly synthesized proteins have N-linked glycans. These glycans play pivotal roles in controlling the folding, sorting, and degradation of glycoproteins via several glycan-related proteins. The glycan-mediated protein quality control system is important for cellular homeostasis. In this review, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the system and discuss structural insights from chemical and biological perspectives. In particular, we focus on the mechanisms by which these mediators respond to several folding states of glycoproteins.
