Role of ABCA1 in Cardiovascular Disease. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12061010. [PMID: 35743794 PMCID: PMC9225161 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12061010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Cholesterol homeostasis plays a significant role in cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have indicated that ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is one of the most important proteins that maintains cholesterol homeostasis. ABCA1 mediates nascent high-density lipoprotein biogenesis. Upon binding with apolipoprotein A-I, ABCA1 facilitates the efflux of excess intracellular cholesterol and phospholipids and controls the rate-limiting step of reverse cholesterol transport. In addition, ABCA1 interacts with the apolipoprotein receptor and suppresses inflammation through a series of signaling pathways. Thus, ABCA1 may prevent cardiovascular disease by inhibiting inflammation and maintaining lipid homeostasis. Several studies have indicated that post-transcriptional modifications play a critical role in the regulation of ABCA1 transportation and plasma membrane localization, which affects its biological function. Meanwhile, carriers of the loss-of-function ABCA1 gene are often accompanied by decreased expression of ABCA1 and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. We summarized the ABCA1 transcription regulation mechanism, mutations, post-translational modifications, and their roles in the development of dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, ischemia/reperfusion, myocardial infarction, and coronary heart disease.

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
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.

Abstract
This chapter is meant to serve as an introduction to the remainder of the book by providing general background on the chemical biology of glycoproteins as well as a brief review of the chapters that follow. The purpose here is to introduce some basic concepts common to many forms of glycosylation for those readers who may be unfamiliar with the field. We begin with a discussion of the strategies and methods used to study protein glycosylation. During the overview, an effort is made to highlight a few relevant aspects of chemical glycobiology, including glycoprotein biosynthesis and a brief description of the synthesis and function of glycoproteins. Finally, we have a summary of the contributions from chemical biology over the years. It is our hope that, after reading this introductory chapter, the reader will have a broad view of the chemical glycobiology field as it currently stands and a deeper appreciation for some of the unique ideas that chemical biology brings to the field.

Abstract
A brief review is presented of our studies on the structure of glycoprotein-derived glycans. The emphasis is on the introduction of high-resolution 1H-NMR spectroscopy for the unambiguous determination of primary structures. For this purpose, we developed the structural reporter group concept. Structural reporters are defined as unique markers of structural elements in the NMR spectra. Application of this concept led to the discovery of numerous new structures. Furthermore, a number of structures presented in the literature could be corrected. The results are relevant for insight in the various steps in glycan metabolism in health and disease, for the function and mode of action of glycans in vivo and for the interpretation of structural information obtained through other techniques. The strength of the approach is further shown for several highly complex glycoproteins, carrying very heterogeneous and complicated glycans.

Abstract
Simple and complex carbohydrates (glycans) have long been known to play major metabolic, structural and physical roles in biological systems. Targeted microbial binding to host glycans has also been studied for decades. But such biological roles can only explain some of the remarkable complexity and organismal diversity of glycans in nature. Reviewing the subject about two decades ago, one could find very few clear-cut instances of glycan-recognition-specific biological roles of glycans that were of intrinsic value to the organism expressing them. In striking contrast there is now a profusion of examples, such that this updated review cannot be comprehensive. Instead, a historical overview is presented, broad principles outlined and a few examples cited, representing diverse types of roles, mediated by various glycan classes, in different evolutionary lineages. What remains unchanged is the fact that while all theories regarding biological roles of glycans are supported by compelling evidence, exceptions to each can be found. In retrospect, this is not surprising. Complex and diverse glycans appear to be ubiquitous to all cells in nature, and essential to all life forms. Thus, >3 billion years of evolution consistently generated organisms that use these molecules for many key biological roles, even while sometimes coopting them for minor functions. In this respect, glycans are no different from other major macromolecular building blocks of life (nucleic acids, proteins and lipids), simply more rapidly evolving and complex. It is time for the diverse functional roles of glycans to be fully incorporated into the mainstream of biological sciences.

Abstract
The dual inhibitory action of the pain related peptide opiorphin (H-Gln-Arg-Phe-Ser-Arg-OH) against neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and aminopeptidase N (AP-N) was further investigated by a SAR study involving minor modifications on the polar side chains of Arg residues and glycosylation with monosaccharides at Ser. None of them exerted dual or individual inhibitory potency superior than opiorphin. However, the correlations deduced offer further proof for the key role of these residues upon the binding and bioactive conformational stabilization of opiorphin. NMR conformational studies on the glycopeptides suggest that they are still very flexible compounds that may attain their respective bioactive conformations.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is one of the major biosynthetic functions occurring in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi compartments. It requires an amazing number of enzymes, chaperones, lectins and transporters whose actions delicately secure the fidelity of glycan structures. Over the past 30 years, glycobiologists hammered that glycan structures are not mere decorative elements but serve crucial cellular functions. This becomes dramatically illustrated by a group of mostly severe, inherited human disorders named congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). To date, many types of CDG have been defined genetically and most of the time the defects impair the biosynthesis, transfer and remodeling of N-glycans. Recently, the identification of the several types of CDG caused by deficiencies in the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex, a complex involved in vesicular Golgi trafficking, expanded the field of CDG but also brought novel insights in glycosylation. The molecular mechanisms underlying the complex pathway of N-glycosylation in the Golgi are far from understood. The availability of COG-deficient CDG patients and patients' cells offered a new way to study how COG, and its different subunits, could influence the Golgi N-glycosylation machinery and localization. This review summarizes the recent findings on the implication of COG in Golgi glycosylation. It highlights the need for a dynamic, finely tuned balance between anterograde and retrograde trafficking for the correct localization of Golgi enzymes to assure the stepwise maturation of N-glycan chains.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men in the United States. For reasons largely unknown, the incidence of prostate cancer has increased in the last two decades, in spite or perhaps because of a concomitant increase in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. While PSA is acknowledged not to be an ideal biomarker for prostate cancer detection, it is however widely used by physicians due to lack of an alternative. Thus, the identification of a biomarker(s) that can complement or replace PSA represents a major goal for prostate cancer research. Screening complex biological specimens such as blood, urine, and tissue to identify protein biomarkers has become increasingly popular over the last decade thanks to advances in proteomic discovery methods. The completion of human genome sequence together with new development in mass spectrometry instrumentation and bioinformatics has been a major driving force in biomarker discovery research. Here we review the current state of proteomic applications as applied to various sample sources including blood, urine, tissue, and "secretome" for the purpose of prostate cancer biomarker discovery. Additionally, we review recent developments in validation of putative markers, efforts at systems biology approach, and current challenges of proteomics in biomarker discovery.

Abstract
This review discusses the challenges involved in the characterization of the glycosylation of therapeutic glycoproteins. The focus is on methods that are most commonly used in regulatory filings and lot release testing of therapeutic glycoproteins. The different types of assays for carbohydrate analysis are reviewed, including the distinction between assays appropriate for lot release or better suited to testing during early drug development or in-depth characterization of the glycosylation. Characteristics of the glycoprotein and production process that should be considered when determining the amount of testing, the number of different methods to employ and when the testing should be performed during development of protein therapeutics is also discussed.

Abstract
Many biological interactions and functions are mediated by glycans, consequently leading to the emerging importance of carbohydrate and glycoconjugate chemistry in the design of novel drug therapeutics. Despite the challenges that carbohydrate moieties bring into the synthesis of glycopeptides and glycoproteins, considerable progress has been made during recent decades. Glycopeptides carrying many simple glycans have been chemically synthesized, enzymatic approaches have been utilized to introduce more complex glycans, and most recently native chemical ligation has enabled synthesis of glycoproteins from well-designed peptide and glycopeptide building blocks. Currently, general synthetic methodology for glycopeptides relies on preformed glycosylated amino acids for the stepwise solid-phase peptide synthesis. The formation of glycosidic bonds is of fundamental importance in the assembly of glycopeptides. As such, every glycosylation has to be regarded as a unique problem, demanding considerable systematic research. In this chapter we will summarize the most common chemical methods for the stereoselective synthesis of N- and O-glycosylated amino acids. The particular emphasis will be given to the preparation of building blocks for use in solid-phase glycopeptide synthesis based on the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protective group strategy.

Abstract
First-principle computations were carried out on the conformational space of trans and cis peptide bond isomers of HCO-Thr-NH2. Using the concept of multidimensional conformational analysis (MDCA), geometry optimizations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory, and single-point energies as well as thermodynamic functions were calculated at the G3MP2B3 level of theory for the corresponding optimized structures. Two backbone Ramachandran-type potential energy surfaces (PESs) were computed, one each for the cis and trans isomers, keeping the side chain at the fully extended orientation (chi1=chi2=anti). Similarly, two side chain PESs for the cis and trans isomers were generated for the (phi=psi=anti) orientation corresponding to approximately the betaL backbone conformation. Besides correlating the relative Gibbs free energy of the various stable conformations with the number of stabilizing hydrogen bonds, the process of trans-->cis isomerization is discussed in terms of intrinsic stabilities as measured by the computed thermodynamic functions.

Abstract
alpha-C-Mannosyltryptophan (alpha-C-Man-Trp) has been found to be a novel post-translational modification of tryptophan found from some biologically important glycoproteins. In order to analyze the biological functions of alpha-C-Man-Trp, we have developed an efficient synthetic strategy for alpha-C-Man-Trp and its glucose and galactose analogues, starting from alpha-C-glycosidation of the corresponding hexapyranoside derivatives with tinacetylene. According to the synthetic routes, we describe here syntheses of beta-anomers of C-Man-Trp, and its glucose and galactose analogues from the corresponding beta-C-glycosylacetylenes. During this study, we have developed a highly stereocontrolled synthesis of beta-C-mannosylacetylene that is required for the synthesis of beta-C-Man-Trp, while the precedented method gave an anomeric mixture of the C-mannosylacetylene. The synthetic C-Man-Trp and its analogues were analyzed by HPLC.

Abstract
The development of new methods for the preparation of C-glycosyl beta-amino acid libraries with chemical and stereochemical diversity levels was investigated and the results are described herein. Two complementary one-pot three-component Mannich-type and Reformatsky-type synthetic strategies have been developed for the construction of chiral 3-amino propanoate fragments (eventually bis-substituted at C-2) directly linked to the anomeric carbon of pyranose and furanose residues. Both methods involved as the initial step the coupling of a sugar aldehyde to p-methoxybenzylamine but differed in the nucleophile (a d(2) synthon equivalent) which was successively added: a ketene silyl acetal (Mannich route) or a bromozinc enolate (Reformatsky route). Individual C-glycosyl beta-amino esters were isolated as single 3R diastereoisomers in fair to excellent yield (60-90%) and their structure assigned by NMR spectroscopy (Riguera protocol) supported by X-ray crystallography. A tentative explanation of the observed stereochemical outcome based on transition-state models is provided. A preliminary study on the synthesis of alpha,alpha-difluoro C-glycosyl beta-amino acids via a more traditional Reformatsky route is also reported.

Abstract
Glycopeptides, isolated from a trypsinolysate of functional unit (FU) RtH2-e of Rapana thomasiana hemocyanin subunit 2, were analysed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and MS/MS. From the molecular mass observed after deglycosylation, it was inferred that all glycopeptides shared the same peptide stretch 92-143 of FU RtH2-e with a glycosylation site at Asn-127. Besides the core structure Man(3)GlcNAc(2) for N-glycosylation, structures with a supplementary GlcNAc linked to either the Man(alpha1-3) or the Man(alpha1-6) arm and/or an additional tetrasaccharide unit connected to the other Man arm were observed, indicating the existence of microheterogeneity at the glycan level. The tetrasaccharide unit contains a central fucose moiety substituted with 3-O-methylgalactose and N-acetylgalactosamine, and linked to GlcNAc at the reducing end. This structure represents a novel N-glycan motif and is likely to be immunogenic. A second potential site for N-glycosylation in FU RtH2-e at Asn-17 was shown to be not glycosylated.

Abstract
This review summarizes the chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycopeptides and glycoproteins using unprotected carbohydrates as key intermediates. The synthetic methods covered herein include the convergent synthesis of glycopeptides by chemoselective ligation of peptides and free glycans, solution- and solid-phase synthesis of glycopeptides by sequential peptide elongation with unprotected glycosyl amino acids or short glycopeptides as building blocks, and the synthesis of glycopeptides by enzymatic and/or chemical elongation of the free glycans. The use of unprotected carbohydrates in these syntheses can circumvent the final-stage carbohydrate deprotection, lead to highly convergent synthetic designs, and more significantly, take advantage of the commercially available free glycans isolated from nature, which could considerably facilitate the synthesis of complex glycopeptides and glycoproteins.

Abstract
Relative stabilities of rotamers of the N-acetyl-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-L-seryl-N'-methyl amide (1) and eleven analogous molecules containing beta-galactose, alpha- and beta-mannose, alpha- and beta-glucose, and L-threonine were calculated to learn whether they could explain the natural preference for 1 in linkages between the carbohydrate and protein in glycoproteins. The lowest energy rotamers of four O-glycoside models of serine diamide were identified with a Monte Carlo search coupled with molecular mechanics (MM2*). These rotamers were further optimized with an ab initio level of theory (HF/6-31G(d)). Subsequently, B3LYP/6-31 + G(d) single point energies were calculated for the most stable HF structures. The most favorable interactions are present in 1 and its glucose analogue. The monosaccharide for the carbohydrate antenna is anchored to the serine residue with an AcNH...O=C-NHMe hydrogen bond in the most stable rotamers. The mannose analogue and the beta-anomers are considerably less stable according to the MM2* and especially to the ab inito energy values. The three analogues have HF/6-31 G(d) energies which are 4-6 kcal mol-1 higher; the single point B3LYP/6-31 + G(d)//HF/6-31 G(d) calculations yield preferences of 3-5 kcal mol-1 for 1. The most stable L-threonine analogues show a behaviour very similarly to the corresponding serine analogues. The ZPE and thermal correction components of the calculated delta H298 and delta G298 values are relatively small (< 0.4 kcal mol-1). However, the T delta S298 term can be as large as 2.6 kcal mol-1. The entropy terms stabilize the alpha-anomers relative to beta-anomers, and ManNAc relative to GalNAc. The largest stabilization effect is observed for one of the rotamers of the alpha-anomer of ManNAc.

Abstract
An alpha-C-iodoethynylglucose derivative was coupled with an L-serine-derived zinc-copper reagent to give alpha-C-glucosylpropargyl glycine, which underwent palladium catalyzed-heteroannulation with o-iodoaniline to give not alpha-C-glucosyl-tryptophan but alpha-C-glucosyl-iso-tryptophan. This is the first observation of complete reverse regioselectivity to Larock's proposal.

Abstract
E(rns) is a pestivirus envelope glycoprotein and is the only known viral surface protein with RNase activity. E(rns) is a disulfide-linked homodimer of 100 kDa; it is found on the surface of pestivirus-infected cells and is secreted into the medium. In this study, the disulfide arrangement of the nine cysteines present in the mature dimer was established by analysis of the proteolytically cleaved protein. Fragments were obtained after digestion with multiple proteolytic enzymes and subsequently analyzed by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The analysis demonstrates which cysteine is involved in dimerization and reveals an extremely rare vicinal disulfide bridge of unknown function. With the assistance of the disulfide arrangement, a three-dimensional model was built by homology modeling based on the alignment with members of the Rh/T2/S RNase family. Compared to these other RNase family members, E(rns) shows an N-terminal truncation, a large insertion of a cystine-rich region, and a C-terminal extension responsible for membrane translocation. The homology to mammalian RNase 6 supports a possible role of E(rns) in B-cell depletion.

Abstract
The final chemical structure of a newly synthesized protein is often only attained after further covalent modification. Ideally, a comprehensive proteome analysis includes this aspect, a task that is complicated by our incomplete knowledge of the range of possible modifications and often by the lack of suitable analysis methods. Here we present two recently discovered, unusual forms of protein glycosylation, i.e. C-mannosylation and O-fucosylation. Their analysis by a combined mass spectrometric approach is illustrated with peptides from the thrombospondin type 1 repeats (TSRs) of the recombinant axonal guidance protein F-spondin. Nano-electrospray ionization tandem-mass spectrometry of isolated peptides showed that eight of ten Trp residues in the TSRs of F-spondin are C-mannosylated. O-Fucosylation sites were determined by a recently established nano-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem-mass spectrometry approach. Four of five TSRs carry the disaccharide Hex-dHex-O-Ser/Thr in close proximity to the C-mannosylation sites. In analogy to thrombospondin-1, we assume this to be Glc-Fuc-O-Ser/Thr. Our current knowledge of these glycosylations will be discussed.

Abstract
The de novo synthesis of a full set of hydroxymethyl C-glycosides from only two precursors is described. The seven-carbon target molecules contain five stereocentres and bridge the stereochemical gap between natural D-configured and non-natural L-configured series of hexoses. Key steps include hydroxylation, differential protection, stereoselective reduction and desymmetrization of 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-enes. C-Terminus differentiation and C-terminus excision of the seven-carbon polyol backbone lead to hexoses, including those of the L-series. A stereochemical and genetic classification of C-glycosides is presented.

Abstract
Contemporary glycobiology reflects the intense interest in glycoproteins and their biological roles. Addition of saccharides by N- or O-glycosylation is precise rather than random and forms a uniquely interactive molecular surface. We designate these well conserved glycomotifs as glycomodules to emphasize their functional significance. Thus, elucidation of the glycosylation codes that determine saccharide addition is a significant goal. The focus here is on the Hyp O-glycosylation of cell wall proteins. This involves two consecutive posttranslational modifications, proline hydroxylation and glycosylation. Peptide sequence rather than conformation seems to determine these modifications. Hyp glycosylation occurs in two distinct modes: Hyp arabinosylation and Hyp galactosylation. The Hyp contiguity hypothesis predicts arabinosylation of contiguous Hyp residues and galactosylation of clustered non-contiguous Hyp. Elucidation of Hyp glycosylation codes involves the design and expression of putative glycomotifs as simple repetitive peptides. Thus, repetitive (Ser-Hyp), directed Hyp galactosylation resulting in the exclusive addition of arabinogalactan polysaccharide to all the non-contiguous Hyp residues. and a new AGP. Another repetitive peptide from gum arabic glycoprotein, containing both contiguous and non-contiguous Hyp, directed both modes of Hyp glycosylation. Furthermore, expression of the (Ser-Hypx)n series confirmed the arabinosylation of contiguous Hyp. Thus, the Hyp contiguity hypothesis is a useful predictive tool in the functional genomics toolbox.

Abstract
Our understanding of eukaryotic protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum has increased enormously over the last 5 years. In this review, we summarize some of the major research themes that have captivated researchers in this field during the last years of the 20th century. We follow the path of a typical protein as it emerges from the ribosome and enters the reticular environment. While many of these events are shared between different polypeptide chains, we highlight some of the numerous differences between proteins, between cell types, and between the chaperones utilized by different ER glycoproteins. Finally, we consider the likely advances in this field as the new century unfolds and we address the prospect of a unified understanding of how protein folding, degradation, and translation are coordinated within a cell.

Abstract
The central dogma of molecular biology limits the downstream flow of genetic information to proteins. Progress from the last two decades of research on cellular glycoconjugates justifies adding the enzymatic production of glycan antennae with information-bearing determinants to this famous and basic pathway. An impressive variety of regulatory processes including cell growth and apoptosis, folding and routing of glycoproteins and cell adhesion/migration have been unravelled and found to be mediated or modulated by specific protein (lectin)-carbohydrate interactions. The conclusion has emerged that it would have meant missing manifold opportunities not to recruit the sugar code to cellular information transfer. Currently, the potential for medical applications in anti-adhesion therapy or drug targeting is one of the major driving forces fuelling progress in glycosciences. In histochemistry, this concept has prompted the introduction of carrier-immobilized carbohydrate ligands (neoglycoconjugates) to visualize the cells' capacity to be engaged in oligosaccharide recognition. After their isolation these tissue lectins will be tested for ligand analysis. Since fine specificities of different lectins can differ despite identical monosaccharide binding, the tissue lectins will eventually replace plant agglutinins to move from glycan profiling and localization to functional considerations. Namely, these two marker types, i.e. neoglycoconjugates and tissue lectins, track down accessible binding sites with relevance for involvement in interactions in situ. The documented interplay of synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry with cyto- and histochemistry nourishes the optimism that the application of this set of innovative custom-prepared tools will provide important insights into the ways in which glycans can act as hardware in transmitting information during normal tissue development and pathological situations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study addressed whether food and nutrient intakes were correlated with skin wrinkling in a sun-exposed site. METHODS 177 Greek-born subjects living in Melbourne (GRM), 69 Greek subjects living in rural Greece (GRG), 48 Anglo-Celtic Australian (ACA) elderly living in Melbourne and 159 Swedish subjects living in Sweden (SWE) participating in the International Union of Nutritional Sciences IUNS "Food Habits in Later Life" study had their dietary intakes measured and their skin assessed. Food and nutrient intakes were assessed using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Skin wrinkling was measured using a cutaneous microtopographic method. RESULTS SWE elderly had the least skin wrinkling in a sun-exposed site, followed by GRM, GRG and ACA. Correlation analyses on the pooled data and using the major food groups suggested that there may be less actinic skin damage with a higher intake of vegetables (r(s)=-0.31, p<0.0001), olive oil (r(s)=-0.29, p<0.0001), fish (r(s)=-0.24, p<0.0001) and legumes (r(s)=-0.16, p<0.0001), and lower intakes of butter (r(s)=0.46, p<0.0001) and margarine (r(s)=0.24, p<0.001), milk products (r(s)=0.16, p<0.01) and sugar products (r(s)=0.12, p<0.01). Similar findings were obtained using regression analyses, except fish was no longer significant; 32% of the variance for actinic skin damage was predicted by six out of the ten major food groups. In particular, a high intake of vegetables, legumes and olive oil appeared to be protective against cutaneous actinic damage (collectively explaining 20% of the variance); a high intake of meat, dairy and butter appeared to be adverse (explaining <5% of the variance). Prunes, apples and tea explained 34% of variance amongst ACA. CONCLUSION This study illustrates that skin wrinkling in a sun-exposed site in older people of various ethnic backgrounds may be influenced by the types of foods consumed.

Abstract
Despite the omnipresence of protein glycosylation in nature, little is known about how the attachment of carbohydrates affects peptide and protein activity. One reason is the lack of a straightforward method to access biologically relevant glycopeptides and glycoproteins. The isolation of homogeneous glycopeptides from natural sources is complicated by the heterogeneity of naturally occuring glycoproteins. It is chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis that is meeting the challenge to solve this availability problem, thus playing a key role for the advancement of glycobiology. The current art of glycopeptide synthesis, albeit far from being routine, has reached a level of maturity that allows for the access to homogeneous and pure material for biological and medicinal research. Even the ambitious goal of the total synthesis of an entire glycoprotein is within reach. It is demonstrated that with the help of synthetic glycopeptides the effects of glycosylation on protein structure and function can be studied in molecular detail. For example, in immunology, synthetic (tumour-specific) glycopeptides can be used as immunogens to elicit a tumour-cell-specific immune response. Again, synthetic glycopeptides are an invaluable tool to determine the fine specificity of the immune response that can be mediated by both carbohydrate-specific B and T cells. Furthermore, selected examples for the use of synthetic glycopeptides as ligands of carbohydrate-binding proteins and as enzyme substrates or inhibitors are presented.

Abstract
C-Mannosylation is a unique form of protein glycosylation, involving the C-glycosidic attachment of a mannosyl residue to the indole moiety of Trp. In the two examples found so far, human RNase 2 and interleukin-12, only the first Trp in the recognition motif WXXW is specifically C-mannosylated. To establish the generality of protein C-mannosylation, and to learn more about its mechanism, the terminal components of the human complement system (C6, C7, C8,and C9), which contain multiple and complex recognition motifs, were examined. Together with C5b they form the cytolytic agent, the membrane attack complex. These are the first proteins that are C-mannosylated on more than one Trp residue as follows: six in C6, four in C7, C8alpha, and C8beta, and two in C9. Thus, from the 113 Trp residues in the complete membrane attack complex, 50 were found to undergo C-mannosylation. The other important finding is that in C6, C7, C8, and C9 Trp residues without a second Trp (or another aromatic residue) at the +3 position can be C-mannosylated. This shows that they must contain an additional C-mannosylation signal. Whether this is encoded in the primary or tertiary structure is presently unknown. Finally, all modified Trp residues are part of the highly conserved core of the thrombospondin type 1 repeats present in these proteins. Since this module has been found in a large number of other proteins, the results suggest further candidates for C-mannosylation.
