Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum glycoprotein folding quality control (ERQC) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) preside over cellular glycoprotein secretion and maintain steady glycoproteostasis. When cells turn malignant, cancer cell plasticity is affected and supported either by point mutations, preferential isoform selection, altered expression levels, or shifts to conformational equilibria of a secreted glycoprotein. Such changes are crucial in mediating altered extracellular signalling, metabolic behavior, and adhesion properties of cancer cells. It is therefore conceivable that interference with ERQC and/or ERAD can be used to selectively damage cancers. Indeed, inhibitors of the late stages of ERAD are already in the clinic against cancers such as multiple myeloma. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of the complex relationship between glycoproteostasis and cancer biology and discuss the potential of ERQC and ERAD modulators for the selective targeting of cancer cell plasticity.

Abstract
The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a broad, comprehensive overview of the genomic content of these species for "hot topic" research aspects, including CAZymes, transport, transcription factors, and development, along with a detailed analysis and annotation of less-studied topics, such as signal transduction, genome integrity, chromatin, photobiology, or lipid, sulfur, and nitrogen metabolism in T. reesei, T. atroviride, and T. virens, and we open up new perspectives to those topics discussed previously. In total, we covered more than 2,000 of the predicted 9,000 to 11,000 genes of each Trichoderma species discussed, which is >20% of the respective gene content. Additionally, we considered available transcriptome data for the annotated genes. Highlights of our analyses include overall carbohydrate cleavage preferences due to the different genomic contents and regulation of the respective genes. We found light regulation of many sulfur metabolic genes. Additionally, a new Golgi 1,2-mannosidase likely involved in N-linked glycosylation was detected, as were indications for the ability of Trichoderma spp. to generate hybrid galactose-containing N-linked glycans. The genomic inventory of effector proteins revealed numerous compounds unique to Trichoderma, and these warrant further investigation. We found interesting expansions in the Trichoderma genus in several signaling pathways, such as G-protein-coupled receptors, RAS GTPases, and casein kinases. A particularly interesting feature absolutely unique to T. atroviride is the duplication of the alternative sulfur amino acid synthesis pathway.

Abstract
Secreted fungal effectors mediate plant-fungus pathogenic interactions. These proteins are typically N-glycosylated, a common posttranslational modification affecting their location and function. N-glycosylation consists of the addition, and subsequent maturation, of an oligosaccharide core in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. In this article, we show that two enzymes catalyzing specific stages of this pathway in maize smut (Ustilago maydis), glucosidase I (Gls1) and glucosidase II β-subunit (Gas2), are essential for its pathogenic interaction with maize (Zea mays). Gls1 is required for the initial stages of infection following appressorium penetration, and Gas2 is required for efficient fungal spreading inside infected tissues. While U. maydis Δgls1 cells induce strong plant defense responses, Δgas2 hyphae are able to repress them, showing that slight differences in the N-glycoprotein processing can determine the extent of plant-fungus interactions. Interestingly, the calnexin protein, a central element of the ER quality control system for N-glycoproteins in eukaryotic cells, is essential for avoiding plant defense responses in cells with defective N-glycoproteins processing. Thus, N-glycoprotein maturation and this conserved checkpoint appear to play an important role in the establishment of an initial biotrophic state with the plant, which allows subsequent colonization.

Abstract
During the biosynthesis of N-glycans in multicellular eukaryotes, glycans with the compositions Man(5)GlcNAc(2-3) are key intermediates. However, to reach this 'decision point', these N-glycans are first processed from Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) through to Man(5)GlcNAc(2) by a number of glycosidases, whereby up to four α1-2-linked mannose residues are removed by class I mannosidases (glycohydrolase family 47). Whereas in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae there are maximally three members of this protein family, in higher organisms there are multiple class I mannosidases residing in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. The genome of the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans encodes seven members of this protein family, whereby four are predicted to be classical processing mannosidases and three are related proteins with roles in quality control. In this study, cDNAs encoding the four predicted mannosidases were cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris and the activity of these enzymes, designated MANS-1, MANS-2, MANS-3 and MANS-4, was verified. The first two can, dependent on the incubation time, remove three to four residues from Man(9)GlcNAc(2), whereas the action of the other two results in the appearance of the B isomer of Man(8)GlcNAc(2); together the complementary activities of these enzymes result in processing to Man(5)GlcNAc(2). With these data, another gap is closed in our understanding of the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway of the nematode worm.

Abstract
The gene manE, encoding a probable class I endoplasmic reticulum 1,2-α-mannosidases (ER-Man), was identified from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae due to similarity to orthologs. It removes a single mannose residue from Man(9)GlcNAc(2), generating Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer B. Disruption of manE caused drastic decreases in ER-Man activity in A. oryzae microsomes.

Abstract
The cell surface of Candida albicans is enriched in highly glycosylated mannoproteins that are involved in the interaction with the host tissues. N glycosylation is a posttranslational modification that is initiated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where the Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) N-glycan is processed by alpha-glucosidases I and II and alpha1,2-mannosidase to generate Man(8)GlcNAc(2). This N-oligosaccharide is then elaborated in the Golgi to form N-glycans with highly branched outer chains rich in mannose. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, CWH41, ROT2, and MNS1 encode for alpha-glucosidase I, alpha-glucosidase II catalytic subunit, and alpha1,2-mannosidase, respectively. We disrupted the C. albicans CWH41, ROT2, and MNS1 homologs to determine the importance of N-oligosaccharide processing on the N-glycan outer-chain elongation and the host-fungus interaction. Yeast cells of Cacwh41Delta, Carot2Delta, and Camns1Delta null mutants tended to aggregate, displayed reduced growth rates, had a lower content of cell wall phosphomannan and other changes in cell wall composition, underglycosylated beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, and had a constitutively activated PKC-Mkc1 cell wall integrity pathway. They were also attenuated in virulence in a murine model of systemic infection and stimulated an altered pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine profile from human monocytes. Therefore, N-oligosaccharide processing by ER glycosidases is required for cell wall integrity and for host-fungus interactions.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated the presence in Candida albicans ATCC 26555 of two soluble alpha1,2-mannosidases: E-I and E-II. In contrast, in the C. albicans CAI-4 mutant only E-I was detected and it could be processed by a membrane-bound proteolytic activity from the ATCC 26555 strain, generating an active 43 kDa polypeptide. Here, alpha1,2-mannosidase E-I from strain ATCC 26555 was purified by conventional methods of protein isolation and affinity chromatography in Concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B. Analytical electrophoresis of the purified enzyme revealed two polypeptides of 52 and 23 kDa, the former being responsible for enzyme activity as revealed by zymogram analysis. Time course proteolysis with an aspartyl protease from Aspergillus saitoi, converted alpha1,2-mannosidase E-I into an active polypeptide of 43 kDa which trimmed Man(9)GlcNAc(2), generating Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer B and mannose. Trimming was inhibited preferentially by 1-deoxymannojirimycin. Both, the molecular mass and the enzyme properties of the proteolytic product were identical to those described for alpha1,2-mannosidase E-II therefore supporting the notion that E-I is the precursor of E-II.

Abstract
Nascent glycoproteins are subject to quality control in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they can either be effectively folded with the aid of a collection of ER chaperones or they can be targeted for disposal in a process known as ER-associated degradation. Initiation of the ER disposal process involves selective trimming of N-glycans by ER alpha-mannosidase I and subsequent recognition by the ER degradation-enhancing alpha-mannosidase-like protein family of lectins, both members of glycosylhydrolase family 47. The kinetics and energetics of substrate binding and catalysis by members of this family were investigated here by the analysis of wild type and mutant forms of human ER alpha-mannosidase I. The contributions of several amino acid residues and an enzyme-associated Ca(2+) ion to substrate binding and catalysis were demonstrated by a combination of surface plasmon resonance and enzyme kinetic analyses. One mutant, E330Q, shown previously to alter general acid function within the catalytic site, resulted in an enzyme that possessed increased glycan binding affinity but compromised glycan hydrolysis. This mutant protein was used in a series of glycan binding studies with a library of mannose-containing ligands to examine the energetics of Man(9)GlcNAc(2) substrate interactions. These studies provide a framework for understanding the nature of the unusual substrate interactions within the family 47 mannosidases involved in glycan maturation and ER-associated glycoprotein degradation.

Abstract
Three subfamilies of mammalian Class 1 processing alpha1,2-mannosidases (family 47 glycosidases) play critical roles in the maturation of Asn-linked glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex as well as influencing the timing and recognition for disposal of terminally unfolded proteins by ER-associated degradation. In an effort to define the structural basis for substrate recognition among Class 1 mannosidases, we have crystallized murine Golgi mannosidase IA (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1)), and the structure was solved to 1.5-A resolution by molecular replacement. The enzyme assumes an (alphaalpha)(7) barrel structure with a Ca(2+) ion coordinated at the base of the barrel similar to other Class 1 mannosidases. Critical residues within the barrel structure that coordinate the Ca(2+) ion or presumably bind and catalyze the hydrolysis of the glycone are also highly conserved. A Man(6)GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharide attached to Asn(515) in the murine enzyme was found to extend into the active site of an adjoining protein unit in the crystal lattice in a presumed enzyme-product complex. In contrast to an analogous complex previously isolated for Saccharomyces cerevisiae ER mannosidase I, the oligosaccharide in the active site of the murine Golgi enzyme assumes a different conformation to present an alternate oligosaccharide branch into the active site pocket. A comparison of the observed protein-carbohydrate interactions for the murine Golgi enzyme with the binding cleft topologies of the other family 47 glycosidases provides a framework for understanding the structural basis for substrate recognition among this class of enzymes.

Abstract
The maturation of N-glycans to complex type structures on cellular and secreted proteins is essential for the roles that these structures play in cell adhesion and recognition events in metazoan organisms. Critical steps in the biosynthetic pathway leading from high mannose to complex structures include the trimming of mannose residues by processing mannosidases in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex. These exo-mannosidases comprise two separate families of enzymes that are distinguished by enzymatic characteristics and sequence similarity. Members of the Class 2 mannosidase family (glycosylhydrolase family 38) include enzymes involved in trimming reactions in N-glycan maturation in the Golgi complex (Golgi mannosidase II) as well as catabolic enzymes in lysosomes and cytosol. Studies on the biological roles of complex type N-glycans have employed a variety of strategies including the treatment of cells with glycosidase inhibitors, characterization of human patients with enzymatic defects in processing enzymes, and generation of mouse models for the enzyme deficiency by selective gene disruption approaches. Corresponding studies on Golgi mannosidase II have employed swainsonine, an alkaloid natural plant product that causes "locoism", a phenocopy of the lysosomal storage disease, alpha-mannosidosis, as a result of the additional targeting of the broad-specificity lysosomal mannosidase by this compound. The human deficiency in Golgi mannosidase II is characterized by congenital dyserythropoietic anemia with splenomegaly and various additional abnormalities and complications. Mouse models for Golgi mannosidase II deficiency recapitulate many of the pathological features of the human disease and confirm that the unexpectedly mild effects of the enzyme deficiency result from a tissue-specific and glycoprotein substrate-specific alternate pathway for synthesis of complex N-glycans. In addition, the mutant mice develop symptoms of a systemic autoimmune disorder as a consequence of the altered glycosylation. This review will discuss the biochemical features of Golgi mannosidase II and the consequences of its deficiency in mammalian systems as a model for the effects of alterations in vertebrate N-glycan maturation during development.

Abstract
Family 47 alpha-1,2-mannosidases are crucial enzymes involved in N-glycan maturation in the endoplasmic reticula and Golgi apparati of eukaryotic cells. High-resolution crystal structures of the human and yeast endoplasmic reticulum alpha-1,2-mannosidases have been recently determined, the former complexed with the inhibitors 1-deoxymannojirimycin and kifunensine, both of which bind in its active site in the unusual 1C4 conformation. However, unambiguous identification of the catalytic proton donor and nucleophile involved in glycoside bond hydrolysis was not possible from this structural information. In this work, alpha-D-galactose, alpha-D-glucose, and alpha-D-mannose were computationally docked in the active site in the energetically stable 4C1 conformation as well as in the 1C4 conformation to compare their interaction energetics. From these docked structures, a model for substrate and conformer selectivity based on the dimensions of the active site was proposed. Alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-D-mannopyranose, alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-D-mannopyranose, and alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-D-mannopyranose were also docked into the active site with their nonreducing-end residues in the 1C4 and E4 (representing the transition state) conformations. Based on the docked structure of alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-E4-(1-->2)-alpha-D-mannopyranose, the catalytic acid and base are Glu132 and Glu435, respectively.

Abstract
Class I alpha1,2-mannosidases (glycosylhydrolase family 47) are key enzymes in the maturation of N-glycans. This protein family includes two distinct enzymatically active subgroups. Subgroup 1 includes the yeast and human endoplasmic reticulum (ER) alpha1,2-mannosidases that primarily trim Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer B whereas subgroup 2 includes mammalian Golgi alpha1,2-mannosidases IA, IB, and IC that trim Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to Man(5)GlcNAc(2) via Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomers A and C. The structure of the catalytic domain of the subgroup 2 alpha1,2-mannosidase from Penicillium citrinum has been determined by molecular replacement at 2.2-A resolution. The fungal alpha1,2-mannosidase is an (alphaalpha)(7)-helix barrel, very similar to the subgroup 1 yeast (Vallée, F., Lipari, F., Yip, P., Sleno, B., Herscovics, A., and Howell, P. L. (2000) EMBO J. 19, 581-588) and human (Vallée, F., Karaveg, K., Herscovics, A., Moremen, K. W., and Howell, P. L. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 41287-41298) ER enzymes. The location of the conserved acidic residues of the catalytic site and the binding of the inhibitors, kifunensine and 1-deoxymannojirimycin, to the essential calcium ion are conserved in the fungal enzyme. However, there are major structural differences in the oligosaccharide binding site between the two alpha1,2-mannosidase subgroups. In the subgroup 1 enzymes, an arginine residue plays a critical role in stabilizing the oligosaccharide substrate. In the fungal alpha1,2-mannosidase this arginine is replaced by glycine. This replacement and other sequence variations result in a more spacious carbohydrate binding site. Modeling studies of interactions between the yeast, human and fungal enzymes with different Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomers indicate that there is a greater degree of freedom to bind the oligosaccharide in the active site of the fungal enzyme than in the yeast and human ER alpha1,2-mannosidases.

Abstract
In the early secretory pathway, asparagine-linked glycosylation facilitates the conformational maturation of diverse polypeptides by promoting their physical engagement with the glycoprotein-folding machinery. Misfolded glycoproteins are selectively eliminated from the endoplasmic reticulum by a stringent process of conformation-based quality control. Recent studies indicate that a small ensemble of oligosaccharide-processing enzymes and lectins use the asparagine-linked appendage to orchestrate the selective disposal of numerous transport-defective glycoproteins from the early secretory pathway. The glycan-based disposal system functions as an evolutionarily conserved terminal checkpoint in eukaryote genome expression. That the mechanisms by which glycoprotein substrates are recruited for degradation diverge at the level of signal recognition reflects a previously unappreciated component of cellular differentiation in higher eukaryotes.

Abstract
The process of N-glycosylation of eukaryotic proteins involves a range of host enzymes that delete or add saccharide monomers. While endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.) mannosidases cleave only one mannose to produce the Man8B isomer, an alpha-1,2-mannosidase from Trichoderma reesei can sequentially cleave all four 1,2-linked mannose sugars from a Man(9)GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharide, a feature reminiscent of the activity of Golgi mannosidases. We now report the structure of the T. reesei enzyme at 2.37 A resolution. The enzyme folds as an (alpha alpha)(7) barrel. The substrate-binding site of the T. reesei mannosidase differs appreciably from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme. In the former, shorter loops at the surface allow substrate protein to come closer to the catalytic site. There is more internal space available, so that different oligosaccharide conformations are sterically allowed in the T. reesei alpha-1,2-mannosidase.

Abstract
Class I alpha 1,2-mannosidases (glycosylhydrolase family 47) are conserved through eukaryotic evolution. This protein family comprises three subgroups distinguished by their enzymatic properties. The first subgroup includes yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and human alpha 1,2-mannosidases of the endoplasmic reticulum that primarily form Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer B from Man(9)GlcNAc(2). The second subgroup includes mammalian Golgi alpha 1,2-mannosidases, as well as enzymes from insect cells and from filamentous fungi, that trim Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomers A and/or C intermediates toward the formation of Man(5)GlcNAc(2). Yeast and mammalian proteins of the third subgroup have no enzyme activity with Man(9)GlcNAc(2) as substrate. The members of subgroups 1 and 3 participate in endoplasmic reticulum quality control and promote proteasomal degradation of misfolded glycoproteins. The yeast endoplasmic reticulum alpha 1,2-mannosidase has served as a model for structure-function studies of this family. Its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography as an enzyme-product complex. It consists of a novel (alpha alpha)(7) barrel containing the active site that includes essential acidic residues and calcium. The structures of the subgroup 1 human endoplasmic reticulum alpha 1,2-mannosidase and of a subgroup 2 fungal alpha 1,2-mannosidase were determined by molecular replacement. Comparison of the enzyme structures is providing some insight into the reasons for their different specificities.

Abstract
A soluble form of ribophorin I (RI(332)) is rapidly degraded in Hela and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by a cytosolic proteasomal pathway, and the N-linked glycan present on the protein may play an important role in this process. Specifically, it has been suggested that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mannosidase I could trigger the targeting of improperly folded glycoproteins to degradation. We used a CHO-derived glycosylation-defective cell line, MadIA214, for investigating the role of mannosidase(s) as a signal for glycoprotein degradation. Glycoproteins in MadIA214 cells carry truncated Glc(1)Man(5)GlcNAc(2) N-glycans. This oligomannoside structure interferes with protein maturation and folding, leading to an alteration of the ER morphology and the detection of high levels of soluble oligomannoside species caused by glycoprotein degradation. An HA-epitope-tagged soluble variant of ribophorin I (RI(332)-3HA) expressed in MadIA214 cells was rapidly degraded, comparable to control cells with the complete Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) N-glycan. ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of RI(332)-3HA was also proteasome-mediated in MadIA214 cells, as demonstrated by inhibition of RI(332)-3HA degradation with agents specifically blocking proteasomal activities. Two inhibitors of alpha1,2-mannosidase activity also stabilized RI(332)-3HA in the glycosylation-defective cell line. This is striking, because the major mannosidase activity in the ER is the one of mannosidase I, specific for a mannose alpha1,2-linkage that is absent from the truncated Man(5) structure. Interestingly, though the Man(5) derivative was present in large amounts in the total protein pool, the two major species linked to RI(332)-3HA shortly after synthesis consisted of Glc(1)Man(5 )and Man(4), being replaced by Man(4 )and Man(3) when proteasomal degradation was inhibited. In contrast, the untrimmed intermediate of RI(332)-3HA was detected in mutant cells treated with mannosidase inhibitors. Our results unambiguously demonstrate that an alpha1,2-mannosidase that is not ER mannosidase I is involved in ERAD of RI(332-)3HA in the glycosylation-defective cell line, MadIA214.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) class I alpha1,2-mannosidase (also known as ER alpha-mannosidase I) is a critical enzyme in the maturation of N-linked oligosaccharides and ER-associated degradation. Trimming of a single mannose residue acts as a signal to target misfolded glycoproteins for degradation by the proteasome. Crystal structures of the catalytic domain of human ER class I alpha1,2-mannosidase have been determined both in the presence and absence of the potent inhibitors kifunensine and 1-deoxymannojirimycin. Both inhibitors bind to the protein at the bottom of the active-site cavity, with the essential calcium ion coordinating the O-2' and O-3' hydroxyls and stabilizing the six-membered rings of both inhibitors in a (1)C(4) conformation. This is the first direct evidence of the role of the calcium ion. The lack of major conformational changes upon inhibitor binding and structural comparisons with the yeast alpha1, 2-mannosidase enzyme-product complex suggest that this class of inverting enzymes has a novel catalytic mechanism. The structures also provide insight into the specificity of this class of enzymes and provide a blueprint for the future design of novel inhibitors that prevent degradation of misfolded proteins in genetic diseases.

Abstract
A human cDNA encoding a 70.9-kDa type II membrane protein with sequence similarity to class I alpha1,2-mannosidases was isolated. The enzymatic properties of the novel alpha1,2-mannosidase IC were studied by expressing its catalytic domain in Pichia pastoris as a secreted glycoprotein. alpha1,2-Mannosidase IC sequentially hydrolyzes the alpha1,2-linked mannose residues of [(3)H]mannose-labeled Man(9)GlcNAc to form [(3)H]Man(6)GlcNAc and a small amount of [(3)H]Man(5)GlcNAc. The enzyme requires calcium for activity and is inhibited by both 1-deoxymannojirimycin and kifunensine. The order of mannose removal was determined by separating oligosaccharide isomers formed from pyridylaminated Man(9)GlcNAc(2) by high performance liquid chromatography. The terminal alpha1,2-linked mannose residue from the middle branch is the last mannose removed by the enzyme. This residue is the mannose cleaved from Man(9)GlcNAc(2) by the endoplasmic reticulum alpha1, 2-mannosidase I to form Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer B. The order of mannose hydrolysis from either pyridylaminated Man(9)GlcNAc(2) or Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer B differs from that previously reported for mammalian Golgi alpha1,2-mannosidases IA and IB. The full-length alpha1,2-mannosidase IC was localized to the Golgi of MDBK and MDCK cells by indirect immunofluorescence. Northern blot analysis showed tissue-specific expression of a major transcript of 3.8 kilobase pairs. The expression pattern is different from that of human Golgi alpha1,2-mannosidases IA and IB. Therefore, the human genome contains at least three differentially regulated Golgi alpha1, 2-mannosidase genes encoding enzymes with similar, but not identical specificities.
