[PMID: 38703662 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2024.109138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
High-mannose-type glycan structure of N-glycoproteins plays important roles in the proper folding of proteins in sorting glycoprotein secretion and degradation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 (G1M9)-type N-glycan is one of the most important signaling molecules in the ER. However, current chemical synthesis strategies are laborious, warranting more practical approaches for G1M9-glycopeptide development. Wang et al. reported the procedure to give G1M9-Asn-Fmoc through chemical modifications and purifications from 40 chicken eggs, but only 3.3 mg of G1M9-glycopeptide was obtained. Therefore, better methods are needed to obtain more than 10 mg of G1M9-glycopeptide. In this study, we report the preparation of G1M9-glycopeptide (13.2 mg) linking Asn-Gly-Thr triad as consensus sequence from 40 chicken eggs. In this procedure, λ-carrageenan treatment followed by papain treatment was used to separate the Fc region of IgY antibody that harbors high-mannose glycans. Moreover, cotton hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography was adapted for easy purification. The resulting G1M9-Asn(Fmoc)-Gly-Thr was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. G1M9-Asn(Fmoc)-Gly, G1M9-Asn(Fmoc), and G1M9-OH were also detected by mass spectroscopy. Here, our developed G1M9-tripeptide might be useful for the elucidation of glycoprotein functions as well as the specific roles of the consensus sequence.

Effector secretion and stability in the maize anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola requires N-linked protein glycosylation and the ER chaperone pathway. THE NEW PHYTOLOGIST 2023; 240:1449-1466.

Abstract
N-linked protein glycosylation is a conserved and essential modification mediating protein processing and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but how this contributes to the infection cycle of phytopathogenic fungi is largely unknown. In this study, we discovered that inhibition of protein N-glycosylation severely affected vegetative growth, hyphal tip development, conidial germination, appressorium formation, and, ultimately, the ability of the maize (Zea mays) anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola to infect its host. Quantitative proteomics analysis showed that N-glycosylation can coordinate protein O-glycosylation, glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor modification, and endoplasmic reticulum quality control (ERQC) by directly targeting the proteins from the corresponding pathway in the ER. We performed a functional study of the N-glycosylation pathway-related protein CgALG3 and of the ERQC pathway-related protein CgCNX1, which demonstrated that N-glycosylation of ER chaperone proteins is essential for effector stability, secretion, and pathogenicity of C. graminicola. Our study provides concrete evidence for the regulation of effector protein stability and secretion by N-glycosylation.

Abstract
Due to their remarkable structural diversity, glycans play important roles as recognition molecules on cell surfaces of living organisms. Carbohydrates exist in numerous isomeric forms and can adopt diverse structures through various branching patterns. Despite their relatively small molecular weights, they exhibit extensive structural diversity. On the other hand, lectins, also known as carbohydrate-binding proteins, not only recognize and bind to the diverse structures of glycans but also induce various biological reactions based on structural differences. Initially discovered as hemagglutinins in plant seeds, lectins have been found to play significant roles in cell recognition processes in higher vertebrates. However, our understanding of lectins in marine animals, particularly marine invertebrates, remains limited. Recent studies have revealed that marine animals possess novel lectins with unique structures and glycan recognition mechanisms not observed in known lectins. Of particular interest is their role as pattern recognition molecules in the innate immune system, where they recognize the glycan structures of pathogens. Furthermore, lectins serve as toxins for self-defense against foreign enemies. Recent discoveries have identified various pore-forming proteins containing lectin domains in fish venoms and skins. These proteins utilize lectin domains to bind target cells, triggering oligomerization and pore formation in the cell membrane. These findings have spurred research into the new functions of lectins and lectin domains. In this review, we present recent findings on the diverse structures and functions of lectins in marine animals.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is a crucial organ in energy metabolism and thermoregulation. Adipose tissue phenotype is controlled by various signaling mechanisms under pathophysiological conditions. Type II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSPs) are a group of trypsin-like enzymes anchoring on the cell surface. These proteases act in diverse tissues to regulate physiological processes, such as food digestion, salt-water balance, iron metabolism, epithelial integrity, and auditory nerve development. More recently, several members of the TTSP family, namely, hepsin, matriptase-2, and corin, have been shown to play a role in regulating lipid metabolism, adipose tissue phenotype, and thermogenesis, via direct growth factor activation or indirect hormonal mechanisms. In mice, hepsin deficiency increases adipose browning and protects from high-fat diet-induced hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and obesity. Similarly, matriptase-2 deficiency increases fat lipolysis and reduces obesity and hepatic steatosis in high-fat diet-fed mice. In contrast, corin deficiency increases white adipose weights and cell sizes, suppresses adipocyte browning and thermogenic responses, and causes cold intolerance in mice. These findings highlight an important role of TTSPs in modifying cellular phenotype and function in adipose tissue. In this review, we provide a brief description about TTSPs and discuss recent findings regarding the role of hepsin, matriptase-2, and corin in regulating adipose tissue phenotype, energy metabolism, and thermogenic responses.

Abstract
Simple Summary Glycans play many roles in biological processes. For instance, they mediate cell–cell interaction, viral infection, and protein folding of glycoproteins. Glycoprotein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is closely related to the onset of diseases such as misfolding diseases caused by accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER. In this review, we focused on oligomannose-type glycan processing in the ER, which has central roles in glycoprotein folding in the ER, and we summarise relationship between oligomannose-type glycan processing and misfolding diseases arising from the disruption of ER homeostasis. Abstract Glycoprotein folding plays a critical role in sorting glycoprotein secretion and degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Furthermore, relationships between glycoprotein folding and several diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and various neurodegenerative disorders, are indicated. Patients’ cells with type 2 diabetes, and various neurodegenerative disorders induce ER stress, against which the cells utilize the unfolded protein response for protection. However, in some cases, chronic and/or massive ER stress causes critical damage to cells, leading to the onset of ER stress-related diseases, which are categorized into misfolding diseases. Accumulation of misfolded proteins may be a cause of ER stress, in this respect, perturbation of oligomannose-type glycan processing in the ER may occur. A great number of studies indicate the relationships between ER stress and misfolding diseases, while little evidence has been reported on the connection between oligomannose-type glycan processing and misfolding diseases. In this review, we summarize alteration of oligomannose-type glycan processing in several ER stress-related diseases, especially misfolding diseases and show the possibility of these alteration of oligomannose-type glycan processing as indicators of diseases.
