Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 710:149826. [PMID: 38581946 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149826] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase (NGLY1, PNGase) is an enzyme that cleaves N-glycans from misfolded glycoproteins. In 2012, a human genetic disorder, NGLY1 deficiency, was first reported to be caused by mutations of the NGLY1 gene. Since then, there has been rapid progresses on NGLY1 biology, and gene therapy has been proposed as a promising therapeutic option for NGLY1 deficiency. While a plasma/urine biomarker has also been developed for this disease, detection of NGLY1 activity could be another viable option for early diagnosis of NGLY1 deficiency. Thus far, several in vitro and in cellulo NGLY1 assays have been reported, but those assay systems have several issues that must be addressed in order to develop an assay system compatible for routine clinical examination. Here, we show a facile, highly sensitive in vitro assay system that could be used to detect NGLY1 activity by utilizing its sequence editing function, i.e. conversion of glycosylated Asn into Asp, followed by a detection of newly generated epitope (HA)-tag by anti-HA antibody. Using this ELISA-based assay, we detected endogenous NGLY1 activity in as little as 2 μg of crude extract, which is the equivalent of 5 × 103 cells. Our system also detects NGLY1 activity from cells with compromised NGLY1 activity, such as iPS cells from patient samples. This assay system could be applied in future clinical examinations to achieve an early diagnosis of NGLY1 deficiency.

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.

Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) is a group inherited disorders. It is characterized by multi-organ dysfunction with significant morbidity and mortality. MAN2B2-CDG caused by pathogenic variants in the MAN2B2 gene was a rare CDG. To date, only one case of MAN2B2-CDG was reported. The representative clinical features were immune deficiency, dysmorphic facial features, coagulopathy, and severe developmental delay. More cases are needed to support the pathogenesis of MAN2B2 variation and elucidate its clinical heterogeneity. In this study, we described the clinical presentations of a CDG proband with compound heterozygous variants in MAN2B2. Serum N-glycan profiling was measured by MALDI coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). MALDI-TOF MS analysis of patient serum showed disorders of N-linked glycosylation, including increased N-glycans and elevated Man5/Man6 and Man5/Man9 value. Our proband presented severe developmental delay, dysmorphic facial features as in the previous case. But our case presented new features, including cleft palate and hypospadias with no immune deficiency. Our data expands both the molecular and clinical phenotypes of MAN2B2-CDG and highlights the importance of the role of MAN2B2 gene in CDG.

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
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) 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
Discharged carbon nanotubes (CNTs) likely interact with co-existing organic contaminants (OCs) and pose joint toxicity to environmental microbes. Herein, hydrophobic pentachlorophenol (PCP) and hydrophilic ciprofloxacin (CIP) were used as representative OCs and their joint toxicities with CNTs to Bacillus subtilis were systematically investigated at cellular, biochemical, and omics levels. The 3-h bacterial growth half inhibitory concentrations of CNTs, PCP, and CIP were 12.5 ± 2.6, 3.5 ± 0.5, and 0.46 ± 0.03 mg/L, respectively, and they all could damage cell membrane, increase intracellular oxidative stress, and alter bacterial metabolomics and transcriptomics; while CNTs-PCP and CNTs-CIP binary exposures exhibited distinct additive and synergistic toxicities, respectively. CNTs increased bacterial bioaccumulation of PCP and CIP via destabilizing and damaging cell membrane. PCP reduced the bioaccumulation of CNTs, while CIP had no significant effect; this difference could be owing to the different effects of the two OCs on cell-surface hydrophobicity and CNTs electronegativity. The additive toxicity outcome upon CNTs-PCP co-exposure could be a result of the balance between the increased toxicity from increased PCP bioaccumulation and the decreased toxicity from decreased CNTs bioaccumulation. The increased bioaccumulation of CIP contributed to the synergistic toxicity upon CNTs-CIP co-exposure, as confirmed by the increased inhibition of topoisomerase Ⅳ activity and interference in gene expressions regulating ABC transporters and lysine biosynthesis. The findings provide novel insights into environmental risks of CNTs.

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
N-glycosylation is a highly conserved glycan modification, and more than 7000 proteins are N-glycosylated in humans. N-glycosylation has many biological functions such as protein folding, trafficking, and signal transduction. Thus, glycan modification to proteins is profoundly involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes. The N-glycan precursor is biosynthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from dolichol phosphate by sequential enzymatic reactions to generate the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide composed of 14 sugar residues, Glc3Man9GlcNAc2. The oligosaccharide is then en bloc transferred to the consensus sequence N-X-S/T (X represents any amino acid except proline) of nascent proteins. Subsequently, the N-glycosylated nascent proteins enter the folding step, in which N-glycans contribute largely to attaining the correct protein fold by recruiting the lectin-like chaperones, calnexin, and calreticulin. Despite the N-glycan-dependent folding process, some glycoproteins do not fold correctly, and these misfolded glycoproteins are destined to degradation by proteasomes in the cytosol. Properly folded proteins are transported to the Golgi, and N-glycans undergo maturation by the sequential reactions of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases, generating complex-type N-glycans. N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferases (GnT-III, GnT-IV, and GnT-V) produce branched N-glycan structures, affording a higher complexity to N-glycans. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the biosynthetic pathway of N-glycans in the ER and Golgi.

Abstract
Asparagine-linked glycosylation (N-glycosylation) plays a key role in many neurodevelopmental processes, including neural cell adhesion, neurite outgrowth and axon targeting. However, little is known about the dynamics of N-glycosylation during brain development and, in particular, how the N-glycome of the developing neocortex differs from that of the adult. The aim of this study, therefore, was to perform a thorough characterization of N-glycosylation in both the adult and neonatal rat neocortex in order to gain insights into the types of changes occurring in the N-glycome during neurodevelopment. To this end, we used hydrophilic interaction ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry to compare the adult neocortical N-glycome with that of 24- and 48-h neonates. We report that the abundance of complex N-glycans is significantly lower in adults compared with neonates. Furthermore, the proportion of charged complex N-glycans is also greatly reduced. This decrease in the abundance of complex N-glycans is offset by a corresponding increase in the proportion of truncated and, to a lesser extent, hybrid N-glycans. Lastly, we report that although the proportion of oligomannose N-glycans remains constant at around 24%, the distribution of high-mannose subtypes shifts from predominantly large subtypes in neonates to smaller subtypes in the adult. In summary, our findings indicate that N-glycan synthesis in the rat neocortex is fundamentally different in neonates compared with adults with a general shift occurring from large, sialylated N-glycans towards smaller, neutral structures as neonates develop into adults, coupled with a parallel shift towards smaller oligomannose structures.

Abstract
Alterations to glycans in cancer patients have been used to identify novel tumor biomarkers. Most of these studies have focused on protein glycosylation but less attention has been paid to free-glycans. Here, we analyzed acidic free-glycans in the urine of cancer patients to identify novel tumor marker candidates. Specifically, urine samples were collected from patients with gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma as well as normal controls. The free-glycans were extracted from creatinine-adjusted urine and fluorescently labeled with 2-aminopyridine. Initially, we performed profiling of urinary free-glycans by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry with enzymatic and chemical degradation. More than 100 glycans, including novel structures, were identified. The chromatographic peaks suggested some of these glycans were present at elevated levels in cancer patients. To verify cancer-associated alterations, we compared the glycan levels between cancer patients and normal controls by selected reaction monitoring. Representative structures of glycans with elevated levels in cancer patients included the following: small glycans related to sialyllactose; sialyl Lewis X; lactose- and N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) type-II-core glycans with LacNAc (type-I or II)-extensions and modifications of α1,3/4-fucose and/or 6-sulfate on the Glc/GlcNAc; free-N-glycans containing sialylation or β1,6-branch of 6-sulfo Lewis X; novel NeuAcα2-3Galβ1-4(+/−Fucα1-3) Xylα1-3Glc glycans. Our results provide further insight into urinary free-glycans and suggest the potential utility of these compounds as tumor markers.

Abstract
NGLY1 is a widely conserved eukaryotic cytosolic deglycosylating enzyme involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) process, which eliminates misfolded proteins through retrograde translocation and proteasomal degradation. A human genetic disorder called NGLY1-deficiency has been reported, indicating the functional importance of NGLY1 in humans. Evidence suggests that Ngly1-KO is embryonic lethal in mice, while additional deletion of the Engase gene, encoding another cytosolic deglycosylating enzyme (endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase; ENGase), partially rescued lethality. Upon compromised Ngly1 activity, ENGase-mediated deglycosylation of misfolded glycoproteins may cause excess formation of N-GlcNAc proteins in the cytosol, leading to detrimental effects in the mice. Whether endogenous N-GlcNAc proteins are really formed in Ngly1-KO cells/animals or not remains unclarified. Here, comprehensive identification of O- and N-GlcNAc proteins was carried out using purified cytosol from wild type, Ngly1-KO, Engase-KO, and Ngly1/Engase double KO mouse embryonic fibroblasts. It was revealed that while there is no dramatic change in the level of O-GlcNAc proteins among cells examined, there was a vast increase of N-GlcNAc proteins in Ngly1-KO cells upon proteasome inhibition. Importantly, few N-GlcNAc proteins were observed in Engase-KO or Ngly1/Engase double-KO cells, clearly indicating that the cytosolic ENGase is responsible for the formation of N-GlcNAc proteins. The excess formation of N-GlcNAc proteins may at least in part account for the pathogenesis of NGLY1-deficiency.

Abstract
Misfolded proteins trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are specifically recognized and retrotranslocated to the cytosol by the ER-Associated Degradation (ERAD) system and delivered to the proteasome for destruction. This process was recently described in Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) using the misfolded epitope tagged Transferrin Receptor subunits ESAG7:Ty and HA:ESAG6 (HA:E6). Critical to this work was the proteasomal inhibitor MG132. However, MG132 has off-target inhibitory effects on lysosomal Cathepsin L that could cause misinterpretation of turnover results. Here, we evaluate an orally bioavailable p97 inhibitor, CB-5083, for use in T. brucei. p97 is a ubiquitous protein involved in many cellular events including the membrane extraction step of ERAD. CB-5083 strongly inhibits turnover of HA:E6, with comparable protein recovery to MG132 treatment. Interestingly, little deglycosylated cytoplasmic species accumulates, though it normally emerges with MG132 treatment. This suggests that CB-5083 blocks ERAD upstream of the proteasome, as expected for inhibition of the trypanosomal p97 orthologue TbVCP. Under CB-5083 treatment, HA:E6 is also strongly membrane-associated, suggesting ER localization. Finally, we provide an experimental example where CB-5083 treatment offers clarity to the off-target effects of MG132 treatment.

Abstract
Glycomics refers to the comprehensive analysis of glycans. Recent progress in glycotechnology enables the determination of a variety of biological functions of glycans. Among different glycosylation patterns, certain types of aberrant glycosylation are linked to cancer and/or inflammation, and thus have biological importance. Glycotechnology has been applied to many fields of medical science, including hepatology. In particular, dramatic changes in glycosylation are observed in the progression of liver diseases. As the liver produces so many serum glycoproteins, changes in glycosylation of these proteins might provide useful disease biomarkers. Furthermore, many patients with genetic diseases of glycosylation who have liver dysfunction have been found as a result from whole genome sequencing, and various kinds of glycotherapy have been developed, especially in immunotherapy. In this review, we describe our basic knowledge of glycobiology and discuss the application of these data to medical science, especially hepatology.

Abstract
The proteasome mediates selective protein degradation and is dynamically regulated in response to proteotoxic challenges. SKN-1A/Nrf1, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated transcription factor that undergoes N-linked glycosylation, serves as a sensor of proteasome dysfunction and triggers compensatory upregulation of proteasome subunit genes. Here, we show that the PNG-1/NGLY1 peptide:N-glycanase edits the sequence of SKN-1A protein by converting particular N-glycosylated asparagine residues to aspartic acid. Genetically introducing aspartates at these N-glycosylation sites bypasses the requirement for PNG-1/NGLY1, showing that protein sequence editing rather than deglycosylation is key to SKN-1A function. This pathway is required to maintain sufficient proteasome expression and activity, and SKN-1A hyperactivation confers resistance to the proteotoxicity of human amyloid beta peptide. Deglycosylation-dependent protein sequence editing explains how ER-associated and cytosolic isoforms of SKN-1 perform distinct cytoprotective functions corresponding to those of mammalian Nrf1 and Nrf2. Thus, we uncover an unexpected mechanism by which N-linked glycosylation regulates protein function and proteostasis.

A bioactive mammalian disaccharide associated with autoimmunity activates STING-TBK1-dependent immune response. Nat Commun 2019; 10:2377. [PMID: 31147550 PMCID: PMC6542856 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10319-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2018] [Accepted: 04/25/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
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
NGLY1 deficiency is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the
NGLY1 gene that encodes N-glycanase 1. The disease phenotype in patient cells is
unclear. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from
skin dermal fibroblasts of a patient with NGLY1 deficiency that has compound
heterozygous mutations of a p.Q208X variant (c.622C > T) in exon 4 and a
p.G310G variant (c.930C > T) in exon 6 of the NGLY1
gene. This iPSC line offers a useful resource to study the disease
pathophysiology and a cell-based model for drug development to treat NGLY1
deficiency.

Serum starvation raises turnover of phosphorylated p62/SQSTM1 (Serine 349), reveals expression of proteasome and N-glycanase1 interactive protein RAD23B and sensitizes human synovial fibroblasts to BAY 11-7085-induced cell death. Oncotarget 2018; 9:35830-35843.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of p62/SQSTM1 (p62) on Serine 349 (P-Ser349 p62) as well as proteasome dysfunction have been shown to activate the cell protective Keap1/Nrf2 pathway. We showed previously that BAY 11-7085-induced human synovial fibroblast cell death includes autophagy and p62 downregulation. In this work, we have studied expression of P-Ser349 p62 in human synovial fibroblasts. Results showed that P-Ser349 p62 was not detected in synovial cell extracts unless cells were cultured in the presence of proteasome inhibitor (MG132). MG132 revealed P-Ser349 p62 turnover, that was further increased by concomitant autophagy inhibition and markedly enhanced in serum starved cells. Starvation sensitized synovial fibroblasts to BAY 11-7085 while MG132 protected both non-starved and starved cells from BAY 11-7085-induced cell death. Lentivirus mediated overexpression of phosphorylation-mimetic p62 mutant S349E markedly protected synovial fibroblasts from BAY 11-7085. Inhibitor of Keap1-P-S349 p62 interaction, K67, had synergistic effect with MG132. Starvation increased p62 molecular weight, that was reversed by serum and bovine serum albumin re-feeding. Furthermore, starvation markedly induced RAD23B. Increased endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) turnover was detected in starved synovial fibroblasts. PNGase F treatment produced faster migration p62 form in human synovial tissue extracts but starvation-like p62 form of higher molecular weight in synovial cell extracts. Co-transfection of NGLY1, with p62 or p62 mutants S349A and S349E markedly stabilized p62 expressions in HEK293 cells. Tunicamycin upregulated p62 and protected synovial fibroblasts from BAY 11-7085-induced cell death. These results showed that P-Ser349 p62 has pro-survival role in human synovial fibroblasts and that de-glycosylation events are involved in p62 turnover.

Abstract
Lectins are proteins of nonimmune origin, which are capable of recognizing and binding to glycoconjugate moieties. Some of them can block the interaction of viral glycoproteins to the host cell receptors acting as antiviral agents. Although cyanobacterial lectins have presented broad biotechnological potential, little research has been directed to Amazonian Cyanobacterial diversity. In order to identify new antiviral lectins, we performed genomic analysis in seven cyanobacterial strains from Coleção Amazônica de Cianobactérias e Microalgas (CACIAM). We found 75 unique CDS presenting one or more lectin domains. Since almost all were annotated as hypothetical proteins, we used homology modeling and molecular dynamics simulations to evaluate the structural and functional properties of three CDS that were more similar to known antiviral lectins. Nostoc sp. CACIAM 19 as well as Tolypothrix sp. CACIAM 22 strains presented cyanovirin‐N homologues whose function was confirmed by binding free energy calculations. Asn, Glu, Thr, Lys, Leu, and Gly, which were described as binding residues for cyanovirin, were also observed on those structures. As for other known cyanovirins, those residues in both our models also made favorable interactions with dimannose. Finally, Alkalinema sp. CACIAM 70d presented one CDS, which was identified as a seven‐bladed beta‐propeller structure with binding sites predicted for sialic acid and N‐acetylglucosamine. Despite its singular structure, our analysis suggested this molecule as a new putative antiviral lectin. Overall, the identification and the characterization of new lectins and their homologues are a promising area in antiviral research, and Amazonian cyanobacteria present biotechnological potential to be explored in this regard.

Abstract
Misfolded secretory proteins are retained by endoplasmic reticulum quality control (ERQC) and degraded in the proteasome by ER-associated degradation (ERAD). However, in yeast and mammals, misfolded glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins are preferentially degraded in the vacuole/lysosome. We investigate this process in the divergent eukaryotic pathogen Trypanosoma brucei using a misfolded GPI-anchored subunit (HA:E6) of the trypanosome transferrin receptor. HA:E6 is N-glycosylated and GPI-anchored and accumulates in the ER as aggregates. Treatment with MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, generates a smaller protected polypeptide (HA:E6*), consistent with turnover in the proteasome. HA:E6* partitions between membrane and cytosol fractions, and both pools are proteinase K-sensitive, indicating cytosolic disposition of membrane-associated HA:E6*. HA:E6* is de-N-glycosylated and has a full GPI-glycan structure from which dimyristoylglycerol has been removed, indicating that complete GPI removal is not a prerequisite for proteasomal degradation. However, HA:E6* is apparently not ubiquitin-modified. The trypanosome GPI anchor is a forward trafficking signal; thus the dynamic tension between ERQC and ER exit favors degradation by ERAD. These results differ markedly from the standard eukaryotic model systems and may indicate an evolutionary advantage related to pathogenesis.

Abstract
We developed a fluorescence-quenching-based assay system to determine the hydrolysis activity of endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (ENGases). The pentasaccharide derivative 1 was labeled with an N-methylanthraniloyl group as a reporter dye at the non-reducing end and with a 2,4-dinitrophenyl group as a quencher molecule at the reducing end. This derivative is hydrolyzed by ENGase, resulting in an increase in fluorescence intensity. Thus, the fluorescence signal is directly proportional to the amount of the tetrasaccharide derivative, hence allowing ENGase activity to be evaluated easily and quantitatively. Using this system, we succeeded in measuring the hydrolysis activities of ENGases and thus the inhibitory activities of known inhibitors. We confirmed that this assay system is suitable for high-throughput screening for potential inhibitors of human ENGase that might serve as therapeutic agents for the treatment of N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) deficiency.

Abstract
Mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) diseases and congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) share extensive clinical overlap but are considered to have distinct cellular pathophysiology. Here, we demonstrate that an essential physiologic connection exists between cellular N-linked deglycosylation capacity and mitochondrial function. Following identification of altered muscle and liver mitochondrial amount and function in two children with a CDG subtype caused by NGLY1 deficiency, we evaluated mitochondrial physiology in NGLY1 disease human fibroblasts, and in NGLY1-knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts and C. elegans. Across these distinct evolutionary models of cytosolic NGLY1 deficiency, a consistent disruption of mitochondrial physiology was present involving modestly reduced mitochondrial content with more pronounced impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential, increased mitochondrial matrix oxidant burden, and reduced cellular respiratory capacity. Lentiviral rescue restored NGLY1 expression and mitochondrial physiology in human and mouse fibroblasts, confirming that NGLY1 directly influences mitochondrial function. Overall, cellular deglycosylation capacity is shown to be a significant factor in mitochondrial RC disease pathogenesis across divergent evolutionary species.

Abstract
N-Glycanase deficiency, or NGLY1 deficiency, is an extremely rare human genetic disease. N-Glycanase, encoded by the gene NGLY1, is an important enzyme involved in protein deglycosylation of misfolded proteins. Deglycosylation of misfolded proteins precedes the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) process. NGLY1 patients produce little or no N-glycanase (Ngly1), and the symptoms include global developmental delay, frequent seizures, complex hyperkinetic movement disorder, difficulty in swallowing/aspiration, liver dysfunction, and a lack of tears. Unfortunately, there has not been any therapeutic option available for this rare disease so far. Recently, a proposed molecular mechanism for NGLY1 deficiency suggested that endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) inhibitors may be promising therapeutics for NGLY1 patients. Herein, we performed structure-based virtual screening utilizing FDA-approved drug database on this ENGase target to enable repurposing of existing drugs. Several Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), a series of substituted 1H-benzo [d] imidazole, and 1H-imidazo [4,5-b] pyridines, among other scaffolds, have been identified as potent ENGase inhibitors. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay was employed to assess the inhibition of ENGase activity by these PPIs. Our efforts led to the discovery of Rabeprazole Sodium as the most promising hit with an IC50 of 4.47±0.44μM. This is the first report that describes the discovery of small molecule ENGase inhibitors, which can potentially be used for the treatment of human NGLY1 deficiency.

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.
