Abstract
Misfolded proteins compromise cellular homeostasis. This is especially problematic in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is a high-capacity protein-folding compartment and whose function requires stringent protein quality-control systems. Multiprotein complexes in the ER are able to identify, remove, ubiquitinate, and deliver misfolded proteins to the 26S proteasome for degradation in the cytosol, and these events are collectively termed ER-associated degradation, or ERAD. Several steps in the ERAD pathway are facilitated by molecular chaperone networks, and the importance of ERAD is highlighted by the fact that this pathway is linked to numerous protein conformational diseases. In this review, we discuss the factors that constitute the ERAD machinery and detail how each step in the pathway occurs. We then highlight the underlying pathophysiology of protein conformational diseases associated with ERAD.

Abstract
Protein folding is a complex, error-prone process that often results in an irreparable protein by-product. These by-products can be recognized by cellular quality control machineries and targeted for proteasome-dependent degradation. The folding of proteins in the secretory pathway adds another layer to the protein folding "problem," as the endoplasmic reticulum maintains a unique chemical environment within the cell. In fact, a growing number of diseases are attributed to defects in secretory protein folding, and many of these by-products are targeted for a process known as endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Since its discovery, research on the mechanisms underlying the ERAD pathway has provided new insights into how ERAD contributes to human health during both normal and diseases states. Links between ERAD and disease are evidenced from the loss of protein function as a result of degradation, chronic cellular stress when ERAD fails to keep up with misfolded protein production, and the ability of some pathogens to coopt the ERAD pathway. The growing number of ERAD substrates has also illuminated the differences in the machineries used to recognize and degrade a vast array of potential clients for this pathway. Despite all that is known about ERAD, many questions remain, and new paradigms will likely emerge. Clearly, the key to successful disease treatment lies within defining the molecular details of the ERAD pathway and in understanding how this conserved pathway selects and degrades an innumerable cast of substrates.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a highly organized and specialized organelle optimized for the production of proteins. It is comprised of a highly interconnected network of tubules that contain a large set of resident proteins dedicated to the maturation and processing of proteins that traverse the eukaryotic secretory pathway. As protein maturation is an imperfect process, frequently resulting in misfolding and/or the formation of aggregates, proteins are subjected to a series of evaluation processes within the ER. Proteins deemed native are sorted for anterograde trafficking, while immature or non-native proteins are initially retained in the ER in an attempt to rescue the aberrant products. Terminally misfolded substrates are eventually targeted for turnover through the ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway to protect the cell from the release of a defective product. A clearer picture of the identity of the machinery involved in these quality control evaluation processes and their mechanisms of actions has emerged over the past decade.

Abstract
An essential coagulation factor, tissue factor (TF), is rapidly expressed by human monocytes when exposed to a variety of agonists, such as lipopolysaccharide or tumor necrosis factor (TNF). We previously found that 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) and its potent synthetic analogs downregulate TF and upregulate thrombomodulin expression on monocytic cells, counteracting the effects of TNF at the level of transcription. The human TF gene has characteristic binding sequences for activator protein-1 (AP-1) (c-Jun/c-Fos), nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), Sp-1, and early growth response factor-1 (Egr-1). In this study, we investigated the regulatory mechanisms by which 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) inhibits TNF-induced TF expression in human monocytic cells. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) reduced basal and TNF-induced TF activities. Gel-shift assay and luciferase assay with the respective reporter vectors showed that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) reduced basal and TNF-induced activities of the nuclear proteins AP-1 and NF-kappaB, but not Egr-1. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) inhibited TNF-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun without affecting phosphorylation of the other pathways. On the other hand, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) directly inhibited nuclear binding and activities of NF-kappaB in the nucleus without affecting phosphorylation of the NF-kappaB activation pathway. These results indicate that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) suppresses basal and TNF-induced TF expression in monocytic cells by inhibition of AP-1 and NF-kappaB activation pathways, but not of Egr-1. Our results may help to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) in TF induction, and may have physiological significance in the clinical challenge to use potential 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) analogs in antithrombotic therapy as well as immunomodulation and antineoplastic therapy of leukemia.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) G5 (G5) and ABCG8 (G8) heterodimerize and function as sterol transporter that promote biliary excretion of neutral sterols. Both G5 and G8 interact with a lectin-like chaperone, calnexin (CNX), in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but the significance of this interaction remains unclear. Here, we show that not only CNX, but also its homologue calreticulin (CRT), is involved in the biosynthesis of G5/G8 sterol transporter. Both CNX and CRT interacted with immature forms of G5 and G8, and stimulated their productive folding by inhibiting their degradation. Interestingly, CRT predominantly enhanced the cell surface expression of mature G5/G8 whereas CNX did not have a similar effect. Inhibitors of N-glycan processing indicated that quality control of G5 and G8 might be differentially regulated in the ER. These findings clarify the role of CNX and CRT in the biosynthesis and quality control of G5/G8 sterol transporter.

Abstract
It has been postulated that creation of Man8GlcNAc2 isomer B (M8B) by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) alpha-mannosidase I constitutes a signal for driving irreparably misfolded glycoproteins to proteasomal degradation. Contrary to a previous report, we were able to detect in vivo (but not in vitro) an extremely feeble ER alpha-mannosidase activity in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The enzyme yielded M8B on degradation of Man9GlcNAc2 and was inhibited by kifunensin. Live S. pombe cells showed an extremely limited capacity to demannosylate Man9GlcNAc2 present in misfolded glycoproteins even after a long residence in the ER. In addition, no preferential degradation of M8B-bearing species was detected. Nevertheless, disruption of the alpha-mannosidase encoding gene almost totally prevented degradation of a misfolded glycoprotein. This and other conflicting reports may be best explained by assuming that the role of ER mannosidase on glycoprotein degradation is independent of its enzymatic activity. The enzyme, behaving as a lectin binding polymannose glycans of varied structures, would belong together with its enzymatically inactive homologue Htm1p/Mnl1p/EDEM, to a transport chain responsible for delivering irreparably misfolded glycoproteins to proteasomes. Kifunensin and 1-deoxymannojirimycin, being mannose homologues, would behave as inhibitors of the ER mannosidase or/and Htm1p/Mnl1p/EDEM putative lectin properties.

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
The quality control system in the secretory pathway can identify and eliminate misfolded proteins through endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). ERAD is thought to occur by retrotranslocation through the Sec61 complex into the cytosol and degradation by the proteasome. However, the extent of disassembly of oligomeric proteins and unfolding of polypeptide chains that is required for retrotranslocation is not fully understood. In this report we used a glycosylation mutant of the p41 isoform of invariant chain (Ii) to evaluate the ability of ERAD to discriminate between correctly folded and misfolded subunits in an oligomeric complex. We show that loss of glycosylation at position 239 of p41 does not detectably affect Ii trimerization or association with class II but does result in a defect in endoplasmic reticulum export of Ii that ultimately leads to its degradation via the ERAD pathway. Although class II associated with the mutated form of p41 is initially retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, it is subsequently released and traffics through the Golgi to the plasma membrane. ERAD-mediated degradation of the mutant p41 is dependent on mannose trimming and inhibition of mannosidase I stabilizes Ii. Interestingly, inhibition of mannosidase I also results in prolonged association between the mutant Ii and class II, indicating that complex disassembly and release of class II is linked to mannosidase-dependent ERAD targeting of the misfolded Ii. These results suggest that the ERAD machinery can induce subunit disassembly, specifically targeting misfolded subunits to degradation and sparing properly folded subunits for reassembly and/or export.

Abstract
In Shaker K(+) channels, formation of an electrostatic interaction between two charged residues, D316 and K374 in transmembrane segments S3 and S4, respectively, is a key step in voltage sensor biogenesis. Mutations D316K and K374E disrupt formation of the voltage sensor and lead to endoplasmic reticulum retention. We have now investigated the fates of these misfolded proteins. Both are significantly less stable than the wild-type protein. D316K is degraded by cytoplasmic proteasomes, whereas K374E is degraded by a lactacystin-insensitive, non-proteasomal pathway. Our results suggest that the D316K and K374E proteins are misfolded in recognizably different ways, an observation with implications for voltage sensor biogenesis.

Abstract
We recently showed that an unglycosylated form of the Shaker potassium channel protein is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and degraded by proteasomes in mammalian cells despite apparently normal folding and assembly. These results suggest that channel proteins with a native structure can be substrates for ER-associated degradation. We have now tested this hypothesis using the wild-type Shaker protein. Wild-type Shaker is degraded by cytoplasmic proteasomes when it is trapped in the ER and prevented from interacting with calnexin. Neither condition alone is sufficient to destabilize the protein. Proteasomal degradation of the wild-type protein is abolished when ER mannosidase I trimming of the core glycan is inhibited. Our results indicate that transient interaction with calnexin provides long-term protection from ER-associated degradation.

Abstract
The degradation of misfolded and unassembled proteins by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) has been shown to occur mainly through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway after transport of the protein to the cytosol. Recent work has revealed a role for N-linked glycans in targeting aberrant glycoproteins to ERAD. To further characterize the molecular basis of substrate recognition and sorting during ERAD in mammalian cells, we expressed a mutant yeast carboxypeptidase Y (CPY*) in CHO cells. CPY* was retained in the ER in un-aggregated form, and degraded after a 45-min lag period. Degradation was predominantly by a proteasome-independent, non-lysosomal pathway. The inhibitor of ER mannosidase I, kifunensine, blocked the degradation by the alternate pathway but did not affect the proteasomal fraction of degradation. Upon inhibition of glucose trimming, the initial lag period was eliminated and degradation thus accelerated. Our results indicated that, although the proteasome is a major player in ERAD, alternative routes are present in mammalian cells and can play an important role in the disposal of both glycoproteins and non-glycoproteins.

Abstract
N-glycosylation in nearly all eukaryotes proceeds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by transfer of the precursor Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) from dolichyl pyrophosphate (PP-Dol) to consensus Asn residues in nascent proteins. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae alg (asparagine-linked glycosylation) mutants fail to synthesize oligosaccharide lipid properly, and the alg12 mutant accumulates a Man(7)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol intermediate. We show that the Man(7)GlcNAc(2) released from alg12Delta-secreted invertase is Manalpha1,2Manalpha1,2Manalpha1,3(Manalpha1,2Manalpha1,3Manalpha1,6)-Manbeta1,4-GlcNAcbeta1-4GlcNAcalpha/beta, confirming that the Man(7)GlcNAc(2) is the product of the middle-arm terminal alpha1,2-mannoslytransferase encoded by the ALG9 gene. Although the ER glucose addition and trimming events are similar in alg12Delta and wild-type cells, the central-arm alpha1,2-linked Man residue normally removed in the ER by Mns1p persists in the alg12Delta background. This confirms in vivo earlier in vitro experiments showing that the upper-arm Manalpha1,2Manalpha1,6-disaccharide moiety, missing in alg12Delta Man(7)GlcNAc(2), is recognized and required by Mns1p for optimum mannosidase activity. The presence of this Man influences downstream glycan processing by reducing the efficiency of Ochlp, the cis-Golgi alpha1,6-mannosyltransferase responsible for initiating outer-chain mannan synthesis, leading to hypoglycosylation of external invertase and vacuolar protease A.

Abstract
Both glycosylated amyloidogenic lysozymes I55T/G49N and D66H/G49N were expressed in wild-type and calnexin-disrupted Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The secretion amounts of mutant I55T/G49N were almost similar in both wild-type and calnexin-disrupted S. cerevisiae. In contrast, the secretion of mutant D66H/G49N greatly increased in calnexin-disrupted S. cerevisiae, while the secretion was very low in the wild-type strain. In parallel, the induction level of the molecular chaperones BiP and PDI located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was investigated when these glycosylated amyloidogenic lysozymes were expressed in wild-type and calnexin-disrupted S. cerevisiae. The mRNA concentrations of BiP and PDI were evidently increased when mutant lysozyme D66H/G49N was expressed in calnexin-disrupted S. cerevisiae, while they were not so increased when I55T/G49N mutant was expressed. This observation indicates that the conformation of mutant lysozyme D66H/G49N was less stable in the ER, thus leading to the higher-level expression of ER molecular chaperones via the unfolded protein response pathway. This suggests that glycosylated amyloidogenic lysozyme I55T/G49N may have a relatively stable conformation in the ER, thus releasing it from the quality control of calnexin compared with mutant lysozyme D66H/G49N.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as a way-station during the biogenesis of nearly all secreted proteins, and associated with or housed within the ER are factors required to catalyze their import into the ER and facilitate their folding. To ensure that only properly folded proteins are secreted and to temper the effects of cellular stress, the ER can target aberrant proteins for degradation and/or adapt to the accumulation of misfolded proteins. Molecular chaperones play critical roles in each of these phenomena.

Abstract
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope proteins, E1 and E2, form noncovalent heterodimers and are leading candidate antigens for a vaccine against HCV. Studies in mammalian cell expression systems have focused primarily on E2 and its folding, whereas knowledge of E1 folding remains fragmentary. We used a cell-free in vitro translation system to study E1 folding and asked whether the flanking proteins, Core and E2, influence this process. We translated the polyprotein precursor, in which the Core is N-terminal to E1, and E2 is C-terminal, and found that when the core protein was present, oxidation of E1 was a slow, E2-independent process. The half-time for E1 oxidation was about 5 h in the presence or absence of E2. In contrast with previous reports, analysis of three constructs of different lengths revealed that the E2 glycoprotein undergoes slow oxidation as well. Unfolded or partially folded E1 bound to the endoplasmic reticulum chaperones calnexin and (with lower efficiency) calreticulin, whereas no binding to BiP/GRP78 or GRP94 could be detected. Release from calnexin and calreticulin was used to assess formation of mature E1. When E1 was expressed in the absence of Core and E2, its oxidation was impaired. We conclude that E1 folding is a process that is affected not only by E2, as previously shown, but also by the Core. The folding of viral proteins can thus depend on complex interactions between neighboring proteins within the polyprotein precursor.

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
N-linked glycosylation is not required for the cell surface expression of functional Shaker potassium channels in Xenopus oocytes (Santacruz-Toloza, L., Huang, Y., John, S. A., and Papazian, D. M. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 5607-5613). We have now investigated whether glycosylation increases the stability, cell surface expression, and proper folding of Shaker protein expressed in mammalian cells. The turnover rates of wild-type protein and an unglycosylated mutant (N259Q,N263Q) were compared in pulse-chase experiments. The wild-type protein was stable, showing little degradation after 48 h. In contrast, the unglycosylated mutant was rapidly degraded (t(1/2) = approximately 18 h). Lactacystin slowed the degradation of the mutant protein, implicating cytoplasmic proteasomes in its turnover. Rapid lactacystin-sensitive degradation could be conferred on wild-type Shaker by a glycosylation inhibitor. Expression of the unglycosylated mutant on the cell surface, assessed using immunofluorescence microscopy and biotinylation, was dramatically reduced compared with wild type. Folding and assembly were analyzed by oxidizing intersubunit disulfide bonds, which provides a fortuitous hallmark of the native structure. Surprisingly, formation of disulfide-bonded adducts was quantitatively similar in the wild-type and unglycosylated mutant proteins. Our results indicate that glycosylation increases the stability and cell surface expression of Shaker protein but has little effect on acquisition of the native structure.

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
Oculocutaneous albinism type 1 (OCA1) is an autosomal recessive disease resulting from mutations of the tyrosinase gene (TYR). To elucidate the molecular basis of OCA1 phenotypes, we analysed the early processing and maturation of several different types of mutant tyrosinase with various degrees of structural abnormalities (i.e. two large deletion mutants, two missense mutants that completely destroy catalytic function and three missense mutants that have a temperature-sensitive phenotype). When expressed in COS7 cells, all mutant tyrosinases were sensitive to endoglycosidase H digestion, and immunostaining showed their localization in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and their failure to be sorted further to their target organelles. Pulse-chase experiments showed that all mutant tyrosinases were retained by calnexin in the ER and that they were degraded at similarly rapid rates, which coincided with their dissociation from calnexin. Temperature-sensitive mutant enzymes were sorted more efficiently at 31 degrees C than at 37 degrees C, and their degradation was accelerated at 37 degrees C compared with 31 degrees C. Thus in contrast to the current concept that mutant tyrosinases are transported to melanosomes but are functionally inactive there, our results suggest that mutant tyrosinases may not be transported to melanosomes in the first place. We conclude that a significant component of mutant tyrosinase malfunction in OCA1 results from their retention and degradation in the ER compartment. This quality-control process is highly sensitive to minimal changes in protein folding, and so even relatively minor mutations in peripheral sequences of the enzyme not involved with catalytic activity may result in a significant reduction of functional enzyme in melanosomes.

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.
