Abstract
In a wide range of organisms, dolichyl phosphate mannose (DPM) synthase is a complex of tree proteins Dpm1, Dpm2, and Dpm3. However, in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is believed to be a single Dpm1 protein. The function of Dpm3 is performed in S. cerevisiae by the C-terminal transmembrane domain of the catalytic subunit Dpm1. Until present, the regulatory Dpm2 protein has not been found in S. cerevisiae. In this study, we show that, in fact, the Yil102c-A protein interacts directly with Dpm1 in S. cerevisiae and influences its DPM synthase activity. Deletion of the YIL102c-A gene is lethal, and this phenotype is reversed by the dpm2 gene from Trichoderma reesei. Functional analysis of Yil102c-A revealed that it also interacts with glucosylphosphatidylinositol-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase (GPI-GnT), similar to DPM2 in human cells. Taken together, these results show that Yil102c-A is a functional homolog of DPMII from T. reesei and DPM2 from humans.

Abstract
Dolichol phosphate mannose synthase (DPMS) is an inverting GT-A-folded enzyme and classified as GT2 by CAZy. DPMS sequence carries a metal-binding DXD motif, a PKA motif, and a variable number of hydrophobic domains. Human and bovine DPMS possess a single transmembrane domain, whereas that from S. cerevisiae and A. thaliana carry multiple transmembrane domains and are superimposable. The catalytic activity of DPMS is documented in all spheres of life, and the 32kDa protein is uniquely regulated by protein phosphorylation. Intracellular activation of DPMS by cAMP signaling is truly due to the activation of the enzyme and not due to increased Dol-P level. The sequence of DPMS in some species also carries a protein N-glycosylation motif (Asn-X-Ser/Thr). Apart from participating in N-glycan biosynthesis, DPMS is essential for the synthesis of GPI anchor as well as for O- and C-mannosylation of proteins. Because of the dynamic nature, DPMS actively participates in cellular proliferation enhancing angiogenesis and breast tumor progression. In fact, overexpression of DPMS in capillary endothelial cells supports increased N-glycosylation, cellular proliferation, and enhanced chemotactic activity. These are expected to be completely absent in congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) due to the silence of DPMS catalytic activity. DPMS has also been found to be involved in the cross talk with N-acetylglucosaminyl 1-phosphate transferase (GPT). Inhibition of GPT with tunicamycin downregulates the DPMS catalytic activity quantitatively. The result is impairment of surface N-glycan expression, inhibition of angiogenesis, proliferation of human breast cancer cells, and induction of apoptosis. Interestingly, nano-formulated tunicamycin is three times more potent in inhibiting the cell cycle progression than the native tunicamycin and is supported by downregulation of the ratio of phospho-p53 to total-p53 as well as phospho-Rb to total Rb. DPMS expression is also reduced significantly. However, nano-formulated tunicamycin does not induce apoptosis. We, therefore, conclude that DPMS could become a novel target for developing glycotherapy treating breast tumor in the clinic.

Dolichol phosphate mannose synthase: a Glycosyltransferase with Unity in molecular diversities. Glycoconj J 2017; 34:467-479.

Abstract
N-glycans provide structural and functional stability to asparagine-linked (N-linked) glycoproteins, and add flexibility. Glycan biosynthesis is elaborative, multi-compartmental and involves many glycosyltransferases. Failure to assemble N-glycans leads to phenotypic changes developing infection, cancer, congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) among others. Biosynthesis of N-glycans begins at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with the assembly of dolichol-linked tetra-decasaccharide (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-PP-Dol) where dolichol phosphate mannose synthase (DPMS) plays a central role. DPMS is also essential for GPI anchor biosynthesis as well as for O- and C-mannosylation of proteins in yeast and in mammalian cells. DPMS has been purified from several sources and its gene has been cloned from 39 species (e.g., from protozoan parasite to human). It is an inverting GT-A folded enzyme and classified as GT2 by CAZy (carbohydrate active enZyme; http://www.cazy.org ). The sequence alignment detects the presence of a metal binding DAD signature in DPMS from all 39 species but finds cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation motif (PKA motif) in only 38 species. DPMS also has hydrophobic region(s). Hydropathy analysis of amino acid sequences from bovine, human, S. crevisiae and A. thaliana DPMS show PKA motif is present between the hydrophobic domains. The location of PKA motif as well as the hydrophobic domain(s) in the DPMS sequence vary from species to species. For example, the domain(s) could be located at the center or more towards the C-terminus. Irrespective of their catalytic similarity, the DNA sequence, the amino acid identity, and the lack of a stretch of hydrophobic amino acid residues at the C-terminus, DPMS is still classified as Type I and Type II enzyme. Because of an apparent bio-sensing ability, extracellular signaling and microenvironment regulate DPMS catalytic activity. In this review, we highlight some important features and the molecular diversities of DPMS.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (<100 nm) evades the immune system's clearing mechanisms long enough to reach the targeted disease tissue efficiently. We have, therefore, hypothesized that nano-formulated Tunicamycin would have a better efficacy and consequently it will be a better candidate for treating solid tumor including breast cancer in the clinic. Tunicamycin, a potent inhibitor of asparagine-linked (N-linked) protein glycosylation has been found earlier (I) inhibits angiogenesis in vitro by arresting cells in G1; (II) in vivo angiogenesis in Matrigel™ implant in nude mice; and (III) prevents the progression of a double- and a triple-negative breast tumor in athymic nude mice by inducing "ER stress" in tumor microvasculature. Tunicamycin could work alone or in combination with radiation/radiotherapy. To evaluate nano-formulated Tunicamycin, we have synthesized Tunicamycin encapsulated in peptide nanotubes, nanotubes bound to gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) conjugated with Tunicamycin, Tunicamycin conjugated with nanotubes, Au NPs bound to tubes and conjugated with Tunicamycin, and Au NPs conjugated with Tunicamycin. Functionalization of the nanoparticles was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and absorbance spectroscopy. The 3-(4,5-methylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-dipheyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay indicated that nanoparticles (1 μg/mL) inhibited capillary endothelial cells proliferation, i.e., angiogenesis ~50% within one hour of treatment whereas the native Tunicamycin had no effect. The nano-formulated Tunicamycin blocked the cell cycle progression by inhibiting either both cyclin D1 and CDK4, or cyclin D1, or the CDK4 expression as well as the expression of phospho Rb (serine-229/threonine-252). Phosphorylation of p53 at serine-392 was down-regulated but not the total p53. Increased expression of GRP-78/Bip identified "ER stress". Upregulated expression (1.6-5.5 fold) of phopsho-PERK and significant reduction of mannosylphospho dolichol synthase (DPMS) expression supported induction of unfolded protein response (upr) signaling. Down regulated expression of caspase-9 and caspase-3 proposes a non-canonical pathway of cell death during "ER stress" induced by nano-formulated Tunicamycin.

Abstract
Asparagine-linked (N-linked) protein glycosylation is one of the most important protein modifications. N-glycans with "high mannose", "hybrid", or "complex" type sugar chains participate in a multitude of cellular processes. These include cell-cell/cell-matrix/receptor-ligand interaction, cell signaling/growth and differentiation, to name a few. Many diseases such as disorders of blood clotting, congenital disorder of glycosylation, diseases of blood vessels, cancer, neo-vascularization, i.e., angiogenesis essential for breast and other solid tumor progression and metastasis are associated with N-glycan expression. Biosynthesis of N-glycans requires multiple steps and multiple cellular compartments. Following transcription and translation the proteins migrate to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen to acquire glycan chain(s) with a defined glycoform, i.e., a tetradecasaccharide. These are further modified, i.e., edited in ER lumen and in Golgi prior to moving to their respective destinations. The tetradecasaccharide is pre-assembled on a poly-isoprenoid lipid called dolichol, and becomes an essential component of the supply chain. Therefore, dolichol cycle synthesizing the lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) is a hallmark for all N-linked glycoproteins. It is expected that there is a great deal of cross-talk between the participating glycosyltransferases and any missed step would express defective N-glycans that could have fatal consequences. The positive impact of the structurally altered N-glycans could lead to discovery of an N-glycan signature for a disease and/or help developing glycotherapeutic treating cancer or other human diseases. The purpose of this review is to identify the gaps of N-glycan biology and help developing appropriate technology for biomedical applications. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Glycoproteomics.

Abstract
AbstractInTrichoderma reesei, dolichyl phosphate mannose (dpm) synthase, a key enzyme in the O-glycosylation process, requires three proteins for full activity. In this study, thedpm2anddpm3genes coding for the DPMII and DPMIII subunits ofT. reeseiDPM synthase were cloned and functionally analyzed after expression in theSaccharomyces cerevisiae dpm1Δ[genotype (BY4743;his3Δ1; /leu2Δ0; lys2Δ0; /ura3Δ0; YPR183w::kanMX4] mutant. It was found that apart from the catalytic subunit DPMI, the DPMIII subunit is also essential to form an active DPM synthase in yeast. Additional expression of the DPMII protein, considered to be a regulatory subunit of DPM synthase, decreased the enzymatic activity. We also characterizedS. cerevisiaestrains expressing thedpm1,2,3ordpm1, 3genes and analyzed the consequences ofdpmexpression on protein O-glycosylationin vivoand on the cell wall composition.

Abstract
The most abundant posttranslational modification in nature is the attachment of preassembled high-mannose-type glycans, which determines the fate and localization of the modified protein and modulates the biological functions of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored and N-glycosylated proteins. In eukaryotes, all mannose residues attached to glycoproteins from the luminal side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) derive from the polyprenyl monosaccharide carrier, dolichol P-mannose (Dol-P-Man), which is flipped across the ER membrane to the lumen. We show that in plants, Dol-P-Man is synthesized when Dol-P-Man synthase1 (DPMS1), the catalytic core, interacts with two binding proteins, DPMS2 and DPMS3, that may serve as membrane anchors for DPMS1 or provide catalytic assistance. This configuration is reminiscent of that observed in mammals but is distinct from the single DPMS protein catalyzing Dol-P-Man biosynthesis in bakers' yeast and protozoan parasites. Overexpression of DPMS1 in Arabidopsis thaliana results in disorganized stem morphology and vascular bundle arrangements, wrinkled seed coat, and constitutive ER stress response. Loss-of-function mutations and RNA interference-mediated reduction of DPMS1 expression in Arabidopsis also caused a wrinkled seed coat phenotype and most remarkably enhanced hypersensitivity to ammonium that was manifested by extensive chlorosis and a strong reduction of root growth. Collectively, these data reveal a previously unsuspected role of the prenyl-linked carrier pathway for plant development and physiology that may help integrate several aspects of candidate susceptibility genes to ammonium stress.

Abstract
Candidiasis is a significant cause of invasive human mycosis with associated mortality rates that are equivalent to, or worse than, those cited for most cases of bacterial septicemia. As a result, considerable efforts are being made to understand how the fungus invades host cells and to identify new targets for fungal chemotherapy. This has led to an increasing interest in Candida glycobiology, with an emphasis on the identification of enzymes essential for glycoprotein and adhesion metabolism, and the role of N- and O-linked glycans in host recognition and virulence. Here, we refer to studies dealing with the identification and characterization of enzymes such as dolichol phosphate mannose synthase, dolichol phosphate glucose synthase and processing glycosidases and synthesis, structure and recognition of mannans and discuss recent findings in the context of Candida albicans pathogenesis.

Abstract
Mannosylphospho dolichol synthase (DPMS) plays a critical role in Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol (lipid-linked oligosaccharide, LLO) biosynthesis, an essential intermediate in asparagine-linked (N-linked) protein glycosylation. We have observed earlier that phosphorylation of DPMS increases the catalytic activity of the enzyme by increasing the V(max) as well as the enzyme turnover (k(cat)) without significantly changing the K(m) for GDP-mannose. As a result, LLO biosynthesis, turnover and protein N-glycosylation are increased. This is manifested in increased proliferation of capillary endothelial cells, i.e., angiogenesis. We have then asked if the phosphorylation event or the up-regulation of the DPMS due to over production of the enzyme is a key factor in up-regulating angiogenesis? This question has been answered by isolating a stable capillary endothelial cell clone overexpressing the DPMS gene. Our results indicate that the DPMS overexpressing clone has a high level DPMS mRNA judged by QRT-PCR. The clone also expresses nearly four-times higher DPMS protein over the clone transfected with pEGFP-N1 vector only (i.e., control) as analyzed by western blotting. Most importantly, the overexpressing DPMS clone has ~108% higher DPMS activity than that of the vector control. Immunofluorescence microscopy with Texas-Red conjugated WGA indicates a high level expression of GlcNAc-beta-(1,4)-GlcNAc)1-4-beta-GlcNAc-NeuAc glycans on the external surface of the capillary endothelial cells overexpressing DPMS. Increased cellular proliferation and accelerated healing of the wound induced by a mechanical stress of the DPMS overexpressing clone unequivocally supports DPMS for angiogenesis.

Abstract
Mannosylphospho dolichol synthase (DPMS) is a critical enzyme in the biosynthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO; Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol), a pre-requisite for asparagine-linked (N-linked) protein glycosylation. We have shown earlier that DPMS is important for angiogenesis, i.e., endothelial cell proliferation. This is true when cAMP is used for intracellular signaling. During cAMP signaling, DPMS is activated and ER stress is reduced. To understand the activation of DPMS at the molecular level we have isolated a cDNA clone for the DPMS gene (bDPMS) from the capillary endothelial cells of bovine adrenal medulla. DNA sequencing and the deduced amino acid sequence have established that bDPMS has a motif to be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Based on the sequence information Serine 165 has been found to be the phosphorylation target in bDPMS. Hydropathy Index when plotted against amino acid number indicates the presence of a hydrophobic region around the amino acid residues 120-160, supporting that bDPMS has one membrane spanning region. The recombinant bDPMS has now been purified as His-tag protein with an apparent molecular weight of M (r) 33 kDa. Additionally, we show here that overexpression of DPMS is indeed angiogenic. The capillary endothelial cells proliferate at a higher rate carrying the DPMS overexpression plasmid over the parental cells or the vector.

Abstract
During tumor growth and invasion, the endothelial cells from a relatively quiescent endothelium start proliferating. The exact mechanism of switching to a new angiogenic phenotype is currently unknown. We have examined the role of intracellular cAMP in this process. When a non-transformed capillary endothelial cell line was treated with 2 mM 8Br-cAMP, cell proliferation was enhanced by approximately 70%. Cellular morphology indicated enhanced mitosis after 32-40 h with almost one-half of the cell population in the S phase. Bcl-2 expression and caspase-3, -8, and -9 activity remained unaffected. A significant increase in the Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol biosynthesis and turnover, Factor VIIIC N-glycosylation, and cell surface expression of N-glycans was observed in cells treated with 8Br-cAMP. Dol-P-Man synthase activity in the endoplasmic reticulum membranes also increased. A 1.4-1.6-fold increase in HSP-70 and HSP-90 expression was also observed in 8Br-cAMP treated cells. On the other hand, the expression of GRP-78/Bip was 2.3-fold higher compared to that of GRP-94 in control cells, but after 8Br-cAMP treatment for 32 h, it was reduced by 3-fold. GRP-78/Bip expression in untreated cells was 1.2-1.5-fold higher when compared with HSP-70 and HSP-90, whereas that of the GRP-94 was 1.5-1.8-fold lower. After 8Br-cAMP treatment, GRP-78/Bip expression was reduced 4.5-4.8-fold, but the GRP-94 was reduced by 1.5-1.6-fold only. Upon comparison, a 2.9-fold down-regulation of GRP-78/Bip was observed compared to GRP-94. We, therefore, conclude that a high level of Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol, resulting from 8Br-cAMP stimulation up-regulated HSP-70 expression and down-regulated that of the GRP-78/Bip, maintained adequate protein folding, and reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress. As a result capillary endothelial cell proliferation was induced.

Abstract
Expression of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae DPM1 gene (coding for dolichylphosphate mannose synthase) in Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) increases the intensity of protein glycosylation and secretion and causes ultrastructural changes in the fungal cell wall. In the present work, we undertook further biochemical and morphological characterization of the DPM1-expressing T. reesei strains. We established that the carbohydrate composition of the fungal cell wall was altered with an increased amount of N-acetylglucosamine, suggesting an increase in chitin content. Calcofluor white staining followed by fluorescence microscopy indicated changes in chitin distribution. Moreover, we also observed a decreased concentration of mannose and alkali-soluble beta-(1,6) glucan. A comparison of protein secretion from protoplasts with that from mycelia showed that the cell wall created a barrier for secretion in the DPM1 transformants. We also discuss the relationships between the observed changes in the cell wall, increased protein glycosylation, and the greater secretory capacity of T. reesei strains expressing the yeast DPM1 gene.

Abstract
Dolichol-phosphate mannose (DPM) synthase is required for synthesis of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor, N-glycan precursor, protein O-mannose, and C-mannose. We previously identified DPM3, the third component of this enzyme, which was co-purified with DPM1 and DPM2. Here, we have established mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) 2.38 cells that were defective in DPM3. CHO2.38 cells were negative for GPI-anchored proteins, and microsomes from these cells showed no detectable DPM synthase activity, indicating that DPM3 is an essential component of this enzyme. A coiled-coil domain near the C terminus of DPM3 was important for tethering DPM1, the catalytic subunit of the enzyme, to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and, therefore, was critical for enzyme activity. On the other hand, two transmembrane regions in the N-terminal portion of DPM3 showed no specific functions. DPM1 was rapidly degraded by the proteasome in the absence of DPM3. Free DPM1 was strongly associated with the C terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP), a chaperone-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase, suggesting that DPM1 is ubiquitinated, at least in part, by CHIP.

Abstract
Following incubation with ATP and a cAMP-dependent protein kinase under optimal conditions of lipid acceptor, phospholipid and metal ion requirements, the transfer activity of partially purified dolichol phosphate mannose synthase (DPMS) increased about 60% and this activation correlated with a 50% increase in V(max) with no alteration in the apparent K(m) for GDP-Manose. Phosphorylation with [gamma-(32)P]ATP resulted in the labeling of several polypeptides, one of which exhibited the molecular weight of the enzyme (30 kDa) and was also recognized using a specific anti-DPMS monoclonal antibody. This and the fact that the phosphate label could be removed by an alkaline phosphatase indicate that Candida DPMS may be regulated by phosphorylation-dephosphorylation, a mechanism that has been proposed for the enzyme in other organisms.

Abstract
Endothelial cells line blood vessels, and their proliferation during neovascularization ( i.e., angiogenesis) is essential for a normal growth and development as well as for tumor progression and metastasis. Mechanistic details indicated that down-regulation of Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol level reduced angiogenesis and induced apoptosis in capillary endothelial cells (Martínez JA, Torres-Negrón I, Amigó LA, Banerjee DK, Cellular and Molec Biochem 45, 137-152 (1999)). Unlike in any other insulin-responsive cells, insulin reduced capillary endothelial cell proliferation by increasing the cell doubling time. But, when analyzed, the rate of lipid-linked oligosaccharide-PP-Dol (LLO) synthesis as well as its turnover ( i.e., t(1/2)) were increased in insulin treated cells. No major differences in their molecular size were observed. This corroborated with an enhanced glycosylation of Factor VIIIC, an N-linked glycoprotein (essential cofactor of the blood coagulation cascade) and a marker for the capillary endothelial cell. Increased LLO synthesis was independent of elevating either Dol-P level or Man-P-Dol synthase gene (dpm) transcription. Insulin however, enhanced 2-deoxy-glucose transport across the endothelial cell plasma membrane and caused increased secretion of Factor VIIIC, thus, supporting the existence of additional LLO pool(s), and arguing favorably that growth retardation of capillary endothelial cells by insulin turned a highly proliferative cell into a highly secretory cell.

Abstract
DPM1 is the structural gene for mannosylphosphodolichol synthase (i.e. Dol-P-Man synthase, DPMS) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Earlier studies with cDNA cloning and sequence analysis have established that 31-kDa DPMS of S. cerevisiae contains a consensus sequence (YRRVIS141) that can be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). We have been studying the up-regulation of DPMS activity by protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation in higher eukaryotes, and used the recombinant DPMS from S. cerevisiae in this study to advance our knowledge further. DPMS catalytic activity was indeed enhanced severalfold when the recombinant protein was phosphorylated in vitro. The rate as well as the magnitude of catalysis was higher with the phosphorylated enzyme. A similar increase in the catalytic activity was also observed when the in vitro phosphorylated recombinant DPMS was assayed as a function of increasing concentrations of exogenous dolichylmonophosphate (Dol-P). Kinetic studies indicated that there was no change in the Km for GDP-mannose between the in vitro phosphorylated and control recombinant DPMS, but the Vmax was increased by 6-fold with the phosphorylated enzyme. In vitro phosphorylated recombinant DPMS also exhibited higher enzyme turnover (kcat) and enzyme efficiency (kcat/Km). SDS-PAGE followed by autoradiography of the 32P-labeled DPMS detected a 31-kDa phosphoprotein, and immunoblotting with anti-phosphoserine antibody established the presence of a phosphoserine residue in in vitro phosphorylated recombinant DPMS. To confirm the phosphorylation activation of recombinant DPMS, serine 141 in the consensus sequence was replaced with alanine by PCR site-directed mutagenesis. The S141A DPMS mutant exhibited more than half-a-fold reduction in catalytic activity compared with the wild type when both were analyzed after in vitro phosphorylation. Thus, confirming that S. cerevisiae DPMS activity is indeed regulated by the cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation signal, and the phosphorylation target is serine 141.

Abstract
Dolichol monophosphomannose (DPM) is an ever-present donor of mannose (Man) in various eukaryotic glycosylation processes. Intriguingly, the related polyprenol monophosphomannose (PPM) is involved in the biosynthesis of lipomannan and lipoarabinomanan, key bacterial factors termed modulins that are found in mycobacteria. Based on similarities to known DPM synthases, we have identified and characterized the PPM synthase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, now termed Mt-Ppm1. In the present study, we demonstrate that Mt-Ppm1 possesses an unusual two-domain architecture, by which the second domain is sufficient for PPM synthesis. However, when overexpressed separately in mycobacteria, domain 1 of Mt-Ppm1 appears to increase the synthesis of PPM. Interestingly, other mycobacteria such as M. smegmatis, M. avium and M. leprae produce two distinct proteins, which are similar to the two domains found in Mt-Ppm1. Using an in vitro assay, we also demonstrate that Mt-Ppm1 transfers Man from GDP-Man to a structurally diverse range of lipid monophosphate acceptors. The identification of the PPM synthase as a key enzyme in lipoarabinomannan biosynthesis now provides an attractive candidate for gene disruption to generate mutants for subsequent immunological studies. PPM synthase can also be exploited as a target for specific inhibitors of M. tuberculosis.

Abstract
A set of glycosylinositol-phosphoceramides, belonging to a family of glycosylphosphatidyl-inositols (GPIs) synthesized in a cell-free system prepared from the free-living protozoan Paramecium primaurelia has been described. The final GPI precursor was identified and structurally characterized as: ethanolamine-phosphate-6Man alpha 1-2Man alpha 1-6(mannosylphosphate) Man alpha 1-4glucosamine-inositol-phospho-ceramide. During our investigations on the biosynthesis of the acid-labile modification, the additional mannosyl phosphate substitution, we observed that the use of the nucleotide triphosphate analogue GTP gamma S (guanosine 5-O-(thiotriphosphate)) blocks the biosynthesis of the mannosylated GPI glycolipids. We show that GTP gamma S inhibits the synthesis of dolichol-phosphate-mannose, which is the donor of the mannose residues for GPI biosynthesis. Therefore, we investigated the role of GTP binding regulatory 'G' proteins using cholera and pertussis toxins and an intracellular second messenger cAMP analogue, 8-bromo-cAMP. All the data obtained suggest the involvement of classical heterotrimeric G proteins in the regulation of GPI-anchor biosynthesis through dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthesis via the activation of adenylyl cyclase and protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, our data suggest that GTP gamma S interferes with synthesis of dolichol monophosphate, indicating that the dolichol kinase is regulated by the heterotrimeric G proteins.

Abstract
Dolichol phosphate mannose synthase, an essential enzyme in glycoprotein biosynthesis, was partially purified from E.histolytica by hydrophobic interaction and affinity chromatography with octyl Sepharose CL-4B and Affi-Gel 501, respectively. Reducing agents, particularly dithiothreitol, positively influenced enzyme activity and stability, indicating a role of sulfhydryl groups on the transferase function. Activity did not depend on phospholipids; however, it was significantly stimulated by phosphatidylethanolamine and to a lower extent by other common phospholipids. Mixtures consisting of activating phospholipids did not exert an additive effect. In vitro phosphorylation with a cAMP-dependent protein kinase resulted in enzyme activation. This alteration was not associated with a change in the K(m) for the substrate but rather with a 2.6-fold increase in V(max). Phosphorylation in the presence of [gamma-(32)P]ATP resulted in strong labeling of two polypeptides, one of which exhibited the molecular mass reported for the enzyme from other organisms. Whether phosphorylation functions in vivo as a mechanism of regulation of dolichol phosphate mannose synthesis in E.histolytica remains to be determined.

Abstract
Dolichol phosphate mannose (DPM) synthase activity, which is required in N:-glycosylation, O-mannosylation, and glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane anchoring of protein, has been postulated to regulate the Trichoderma reesei secretory pathway. We have cloned a T.reesei cDNA that encodes a 243 amino acid protein whose amino acid sequence shows 67% and 65% identity, respectively, to the Schizosaccharomyces pombe and human DPM synthases, and which lacks the COOH-terminal hydrophobic domain characteristic of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae class of synthase. The Trichoderma dpm1 (Trdpm1) gene complements a lethal null mutation in the S.pombe dpm1(+) gene, but neither restores viability of a S.cerevisiae dpm1-disruptant nor complements the temperature-sensitivity of the S. cerevisiae dpm1-6 mutant. The T.reesei DPM synthase is therefore a member of the "human" class of enzyme. Overexpression of Trdpm1 in a dpm1(+)::his7/dpm1(+) S.pombe diploid resulted in a 4-fold increase in specific DPM synthase activity. However, neither the wild type T. reesei DPM synthase, nor a chimera consisting of this protein and the hydrophobic COOH terminus of the S.cerevisiae DPM synthase, complemented an S.cerevisiae dpm1 null mutant or gave active enzyme when expressed in E.coli. The level of the Trdpm1 mRNA in T.reesei QM9414 strain was dependent on the composition of the culture medium. Expression levels of Trdpm1 were directly correlated with the protein secretory capacity of the fungus.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are attached to the C-termini of many proteins, thereby acting as membrane anchors. Biosynthesis of GPI is initiated by GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT), which transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP- N-acetylglucosamine to phosphatidylinositol. GPI-GnT is a uniquely complex glycosyltransferase, consisting of at least four proteins, PIG-A, PIG-H, PIG-C and GPI1. Here, we report that GPI-GnT requires another component, termed PIG-P, and that DPM2, which regulates dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase, also regulates GPI-GnT. PIG-P, a 134-amino acid protein having two hydrophobic domains, associates with PIG-A and GPI1. PIG-P is essential for GPI-GnT since a cell lacking PIG-P is GPI-anchor negative. DPM2, but not two other components of dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase, associates with GPI-GnT through interactions with PIG-A, PIG-C and GPI1. Lec15 cell, a null mutant of DPM2, synthesizes early GPI intermediates, indicating that DPM2 is not essential for GPI-GnT; however, the enzyme activity is enhanced 3-fold in the presence of DPM2. These results reveal new essential and regulatory components of GPI-GnT and imply co-regulation of GPI-GnT and the dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase that generates a mannosyl donor for GPI.

Abstract
The N-glycosylation process occurs in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It requires the transport of glycosyl donors into the lumen and the exit of the glycosylated products toward the secretory pathway. Besides this main flow, the formation of free oligomannosides, glycopeptides, and misfolded glycoproteins which do not enter the secretory pathway and are cleared out of the endoplasmic reticulum by specific transports has been demonstrated. This review focuses on the export mechanisms of these three side products of the N-glycosylation process and discusses their physiological significance.

Abstract
Beta2-adrenergic receptors were detected in bovine oviductal epithelium by use of receptor binding studies and expression analysis. Complementary DNA cloning gave use to the first full-length bovine beta2-adrenoceptor messenger RNA sequence (2030 bases). Receptor bioactivity in oviduct epithelial cells was characterized by specific ligand interaction and consequent cAMP generation. Expression studies demonstrated an estrous cycle-dependent regulation, with higher transcript levels and significantly increased binding capacity during the luteal phase. After progesterone supplementation, oviduct epithelial cells showed elevated receptor expression in culture, supporting the hypothesis that progesterone up-regulates the beta2-adrenergic receptor within these cells. It seems likely that catecholamines from the circulation or from innervation might be able to influence reproductive success by regulating oviductal secretion.

Abstract
Membrane anchoring of cell surface proteins via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) occurs in all eukaryotic organisms. In addition, GPI-related glycophospholipids are important constituents of the glycan coat of certain protozoa. Defects in GPI biosynthesis can retard, if not abolish growth of these organisms. In humans, a defect in GPI biosynthesis can cause paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a severe acquired bone marrow disorder. Here, we review advances in the characterization of GPI biosynthesis in parasitic protozoa, yeast and mammalian cells. The GPI core structure as well as the major steps in its biosynthesis are conserved throughout evolution. However, there are significant biosynthetic differences between mammals and microbes. First indications are that these differences could be exploited as targets in the design of novel pharmacotherapeutics that selectively inhibit GPI biosynthesis in unicellular microbes.

Abstract
In unstimulated mammary epithelial cells from virgin mice, the prolactin receptor exists as two isoforms: a 78 and a 70 kDa species. Both proteins are reduced to a single 61 kDa molecule after N-glycanase F treatment, indicating that their size difference is solely a result of carbohydrate content. Membrane fractionation experiments reveal that the smaller species is exclusively intracellular, while the larger one is located on the cell surface. Nitric oxide (NO) stimulates the migration of prolactin receptors from an internal pool to the plasmalemma in only 30 min and this redistribution is associated with an increase in molecular weight. Redistribution is blocked by swainsonine, but not by castanospermine or 1-deoxymannojirimycin, suggesting that the glycosylation step involved with translocation is either alpha-mannosidase II or N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) transferase I. The former is unaffected by NO but the activity of the latter is doubled 30 min after exposure to NO. These data suggest that prolactin receptors are retained intracellularly because of their incomplete N-glycosylation and that NO triggers their redistribution by stimulating the completion of this process, in part by increasing NAG transferase I activity.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol and N-glycan precursor is dependent upon a mannosyl donor, dolichol phosphate-mannose (DPM). The Thy-1negative class E mutant of mouse lymphoma and Lec15 mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are incapable of DPM synthesis. The class E mutant is defective in the DPM1 gene which encodes a mammalian homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dpm1p that is a DPM synthase, whereas Lec15 is a different mutant, indicating that mammalian DPM1 is not sufficient for DPM synthesis. Here we report expression cloning of a new gene, DPM2, which is defective in Lec15 cells. DPM2, an 84 amino acid membrane protein expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), makes a complex with DPM1 that is essential for the ER localization and stable expression of DPM1. Moreover, DPM2 enhances binding of dolichol phosphate, a substrate of DPM synthase. Mammalian DPM1 is catalytic because a fusion protein of DPM1 that was stably expressed in the ER synthesized DPM without DPM2. Therefore, biosynthesis of DPM in mammalian cells is regulated by DPM2.

Abstract
The distribution of the Golgi enzyme beta1, 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (core 2 GlcNAc-T for short) has been investigated in several tissue and cell systems by combining the potentials of a polyclonal antibody and a novel, sensitive fluorescent enzyme assay. In normal rat tissues, levels of the protein were found to vary and as a general trend did not correlate with enzyme activities. Additionally, we observed tissue-specific core 2 GlcNAc-T forms of various size: 75 kDa (liver), 70 kDa (spleen), 60 kDA (heart), and 50 kDa (heart and lung). These forms might arise from differential protein modifications; alternatively, the smaller form may be a product of proteolytic cleavage, given the presence of a catalytically inactive 50 kDa species in rat serum. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), MDAY-D2, PSA-5E, and PYS-2 cell lines consistently displayed a 70 kDa enzyme. When induced to retrodifferentiate in the presence of butyrate + cholera toxin, CHO cells exhibited a 21-fold increase in enzyme activity, while protein levels remained constant. A similar trend was observed in the embryonal endoderm cell lines PSA-5E and PYS-2, where an approximately 100-fold difference in core 2 GlcNAc-T activity was found notwithstanding unchanged amounts of the protein and identical mRNA levels, as evidenced by RT-PCR. In contrast, levels of core 2 GlcNAc-T activity in MDAY-D2 cells correlated well with protein expression. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that core 2 GlcNAc-T expression may be subjected to multiple mechanisms of regulation and suggest that in at least some instances (i.e., PSA-5E and PYS-2 cells) expression may be regulated exclusively via posttranslational mechanism(s) of control.

Abstract
Dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) serves as a donor of mannosyl residues in major eukaryotic glycoconjugates. It donates four mannosyl residues in the N-linked oligosaccharide precursor and all three mannosyl residues in the core of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. In yeasts it also donates one mannose to the O-linked oligosaccharide. The yeast DPM1 gene encodes a Dol-P-Man synthase that is a transmembrane protein expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum. We cloned human and mouse homologues of DPM1, termed hDPM1 and mDPM1, respectively, both of which encode proteins of 260 amino acids, having 30% amino acid identity with yeast Dpm1 protein but lacking a hydrophobic transmembrane domain, which exists in the yeast synthase. Human and mouse DPM1 cDNA restored Dol-P-Man synthesis in mouse Thy-1-deficient mutant class E cells. Mouse class E mutant cells had an inactivating mutation in the mDPM1 gene, indicating that mDPM1 is the gene for class E mutant. In contrast, hDPM1 and mDPM1 cDNA did not complement another Dol-P-Man synthesis mutant, hamster Lec15 cells, whereas yeast DPM1 restored both mutants. Therefore, in contrast to yeast, mammalian cells require hDPM1/mDPM1 protein and a product of another gene that is defective in Lec15 mutant cells for synthesis of Dol-P-Man.

Abstract
GDP-L-Fuc:N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide alpha1-6 fucosyltransferase (alpha1-6FucT) catalyzes the transfer of a fucosyl residue from GDP-fucose to the asparagine-linked GlcNAc residue of complex N-glycans via alpha1-6 linkage. These oligosaccharide structures are essential for the attachment of polysialic acid to the neural-cell-adhesion molecule, and its levels are useful for the differential diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinomas with respect to the microheterogeneity of alpha-fetoprotein. We have been successful in the purification and cDNA cloning of alpha1-6FucT from porcine brain and from a human gastric-cancer cell line. In the present study, mRNA expression of alpha1-6FucT in various rat tissues and human cancer cell lines was examined, along with the expression of alpha1-6FucT mRNA and the induction by treatment with several cytokines. Northern-blot analysis indicated high expression levels of alpha1-6FucT in brain and gastrointestinal-tract tissues of normal rats, as well as for a number of lung-cancer, gastric-cancer and colon-cancer cell lines. Although various cytokines did not induce alpha1-6FucT mRNA, differentiation of a tumor cell enhanced the mRNA by 2- to 3-fold. These results may provide new insight into studies on alpha1-6FucT in terms of carcinogenesis or differentiation.

Abstract
Dolichol phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man), formed upon transfer of Man from GDPMan to Dol-P, is a mannosyl donor in pathways leading to N-glycosylation, glycosyl phosphatidylinositol membrane anchoring, and O-mannosylation of protein. Dol-P-Man synthase is an essential protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have cloned cDNAs encoding human and Schizosaccharomyces pombe proteins that resemble S. cerevisiae Dol-P-Man synthase. Disruption of the gene for the S. pombe Dol-P-Man synthase homolog, dpm1(+), is lethal. The known Dol-P-Man synthase sequences can be divided into two classes. One contains the S. cerevisiae, Ustilago maydis, and Trypanosoma brucei enzymes, which have a COOH-terminal hydrophobic domain, and the other contains the human, S. pombe, and Caenorhabditis synthases, which lack a hydrophobic COOH-terminal domain. The two classes of synthase are functionally equivalent, because S. cerevisiae DPM1 and its human counterpart both complement the lethal null mutation in S. pombe dpm1(+). The findings that Dol-P-Man synthase is essential in yeast and that the Ustilago and Trypanosoma synthases are in a different class from the human enzyme raise the possibility that Dol-P-Man synthase could be exploited as a target for inhibitors of pathogenic eukaryotic microbes.

Abstract
The enzymes in the dolichol pathway are membrane-proteins that utilize a combination of hydrophilic and extremely hydrophobic substrates. The enzymes in this pathway that have been purified and characterized to any extent have either been shown to be stabilized by mixed phospholipid/detergent micelles, or else require a lipid matrix for catalytic activity. Further understanding of the mechanisms of these essential enzymes may require developing methods for the reconstitution of the glycosyltransferases and their hydrophobic substrates in appropriate lipid matrices.

Abstract
The gene for the enzyme dolichol phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) synthase from the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei brucei (T. brucei) was cloned by screening a T. brucei cDNA library and then sequenced. The library was constructed in a yeast expression vector and the positive clone was identified by complementation of a temperature-sensitive defect in the yeast strain DPM 1-6 [Orlean, Albright and Robbins (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 17499-17507]. The insert of this clone displayed an open reading frame of 801 nucleotides coding for a putative protein of 267 amino acids. The deduced protein sequence showed an identity of 49% and a similarity of 69% with the published yeast sequence. Additional features of the T. brucei sequence are the presence of a putative signal sequence, a C-terminal transmembrane domain, a consensus sequence for phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and a stretch of five nucleotides immediately upstream from the putative initiation codon that could function as a prokaryotic ribosome binding site. A consensus sequence for dolichol binding (FI/VXF/YXXIPFXF/Y) found in the yeast protein could not be detected in the putative transmembrane domain of the T. brucei sequence. Biochemical characterization of the recombinant protein showed that it is functionally expressed in the yeast strain DPM 1-6 and Escherichia coli. In both constructs Dol-P-Man synthesis was shown in a cell-free system. Synthesis was stimulated by exogenous dolichol phosphate and inhibited by amphomycin. These results confirm that we have cloned the T. brucei Dol-P-Man synthase by heterologous complementation in yeast, an approach that might be applicable for other glycosyltransferases from various sources.

Abstract
Previously we have shown that long-term pretreatment of JEG-3 choriocarcinoma cells with 8-bromo-cAMP increases the capacity for N-glycosylation that was caused by an 8-10-fold enlargement of the dolichol pyrophosphoryl oligosaccharide (Dol-PP-oligosaccharide) pool [Konrad and Merz (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 8659-8666]. The factors involved in the effect of cAMP on synthesis of Dol-PP-oligosaccharide are investigated here. The GlcNAc transfer to dolichol phosphate (Dol-P) was found to be unaffected by pretreatment with 8-bromo-cAMP. By measuring the uptake of [3H]mevalonate, a 20-fold increase in the incorporation of the label into Dol-P was observed in the cells treated with 8-bromo-cAMP. Under the same conditions, the synthesis of dolichol was enhanced 60-fold. However, the incorporation of the radioactivity into cholesterol was not increased in the JEG-3 cells pretreated with 8-bromo-cAMP, which suggests a specific stimulation of the dolichol/Dol-P pathway by cAMP. The cis-prenyltransferase activity was found to be increased 10-fold in cells pretreated with 8-bromo-cAMP. Dolichol kinase activity was unaffected by stimulation with 8-bromo-cAMP. The present study suggests that the larger glycosylation capacity in JEG-3 cells treated with 8-bromo-cAMP is caused by an increase in the microsomal cis-prenyltransferase activity.

Abstract
The addition of glycophospholipid (GPL) anchors to certain membrane proteins occurs in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and is essential for transport of the proteins to the plasma membrane. Limited circumstantial evidence suggests that dolichol-phosphoryl-mannose (DPM) is a donor of mannose residues of these anchors. We here report studies of a CHO cell mutant (B421) transfected to express the GPL-anchored protein, placental alkaline phosphatase (AP). Only a few transfectants were found to express GPL-anchored AP on their surface, and these clones synthesized DPM. Moreover, and most strikingly, when surface AP-negative transfectants were treated with tunicamycin to cause accumulation of DPM, these cells expressed lipid-anchored AP. Fusion of a cloned surface AP-negative transfectant of B421 with the Thy-1-class E mutant thymoma, which is also deficient in DPM synthesis, produced hybrids that synthesized DPM and expressed AP and Thy-1. Thus, two mutations can interrupt DPM synthesis, and three sets of observations point to an essential role of DPM for addition of GPL anchors.

Abstract
The enzyme GDP mannose:dolichyl-phosphate O-beta-D-mannosyltransferase (GDP-Man:DolP mannosyltransferase) catalyzing the reaction: GDP-man + DolP in equilibrium DolP-Man + GDP has been purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to homogeneity. The purification was achieved using a combination of column chromatographic methods with preparative gel electrophoresis. The enzyme has an apparent molecular mass of 30 kDa on SDS/polyacrylamide gels. Enzymatic activity could be correlated directly with this band. Antibodies against the transferase were raised in rabbits. The immune serum obtained removed enzymatic activity from a detergent extract of yeast membranes and reacted specifically with the 30-kDa band on immunoblots. Experiments addressing the orientation of this enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane are presented by using selective trypsin and N-ethylmaleimide treatment.
