Li M, Zhu P, Huang Z, Huang Y, Lv X, Zheng Q, Zhu Z, Fan Z, Yang Y, Shi P. Aspirin damages the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by inhibiting the expression and activity of dolichol-phosphate mannose synthase 1. FEBS Lett 2022; 596:369-380. [PMID: 35028934 DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.14283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 12/04/2021] [Accepted: 12/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Aspirin is a commonly used anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antithrombotic drug. It has attracted attention due to its potential antifungal therapeutic effect; however, the molecular mechanism is poorly understood. Here, the effects of aspirin on the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were explored. We observed by scanning electron microscopy that aspirin could damage the cell wall ultrastructure. Meanwhile, a cellular surface hydrophobicity (CSH) assay showed that aspirin increased the hydrophobicity of the yeast cell surface. A drug sensitivity assay indicated that the overexpression of dolichol phosphate mannose synthase 1 (DPM1) reversed the cell wall damage and decreased the CSH induced by aspirin. Importantly, aspirin decreased the expression and enzyme activity of DPM1 in S. cerevisiae. Molecular docking results demonstrated that aspirin could directly bind to the Ser141 site of DPM1. Similarly, we found that aspirin damaged the cell wall and inhibited the expression of DPM1 in Candida albicans. These findings improve the current understanding of the action mode of aspirin and provide new strategies for antifungal drug design.

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
In plants, myo-inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate (InsP6), also known as phytic acid (PA), is a major component of organic phosphorus (P), and accounts for up to 85% of the total P in seeds. In rice (Oryza sativa L.), PA mainly accumulates in rice bran, and chelates mineral cations, resulting in mineral deficiencies among brown rice consumers. Therefore, considerable efforts have been focused on the development of low PA (LPA) rice cultivars. In this study, we performed genetic and molecular analyses of OsLpa1, a major PA biosynthesis gene, in Sanggol, a low PA mutant variety developed via chemical mutagenesis of Ilpum rice cultivar. Genetic segregation and sequencing analyses revealed that a recessive allele, lpa1-3, at the OsLpa1 locus (Os02g0819400) was responsible for a significant reduction in seed PA content in Sanggol. The lpa1-3 gene harboured a point mutation (C623T) in the fourth exon of the predicted coding region, resulting in threonine (Thr) to isoleucine (Ile) amino acidsubstitution at position 208 (Thr208Ile). Three-dimensional analysis of Lpa1 protein structure indicated that myo-inositol 3-monophosphate [Ins(3)P1] could bind to the active site of Lpa1, with ATP as a cofactor for catalysis. Furthermore, the presence of Thr208 in the loop adjacent to the entry site of the binding pocket suggests that Thr208Ile substitution is involved in regulating enzyme activity via phosphorylation. Therefore, we propose that Thr208Ile substitution in lpa1-3 reduces Lpa1 enzyme activity in Sanggol, resulting in reduced PA biosynthesis.

Abstract
Human Tousled-like kinases (TLKs) are highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinases responsible for cell proliferation, DNA repair, and genome surveillance. Their possible involvement in cancer via efficient DNA repair mechanisms have made them clinically relevant molecular targets for anticancer therapy. Innovative approaches in chemical biology have played a key role in validating the importance of kinases as molecular targets. However, the detailed understanding of the protein structure and the mechanisms of protein-drug interaction through biochemical and biophysical techniques demands a method for the production of an active protein of exceptional stability and purity on a large scale. We have designed a bacterial expression system to express and purify biologically active, wild-type Human Tousled-like Kinase 1B (hTLK1B) by co-expression with the protein phosphatase from bacteriophage λ. We have obtained remarkably high amounts of the soluble and homogeneously dephosphorylated form of biologically active hTLK1B with our unique, custom-built vector design strategy. The recombinant hTLK1B can be used for the structural studies and may further facilitate the development of new TLK inhibitors for anti-cancer therapy using a structure-based drug design approach.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is a critical protein modification. In biogenic membranes of eukaryotes and archaea, these reactions require activated mannose in the form of the lipid conjugate dolichylphosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man). The membrane protein dolichylphosphate mannose synthase (DPMS) catalyzes the reaction whereby mannose is transferred from GDP-mannose to the dolichol carrier Dol-P, to yield Dol-P-Man. Failure to produce or utilize Dol-P-Man compromises organism viability, and in humans, several mutations in the human dpm1 gene lead to congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). Here, we report three high-resolution crystal structures of archaeal DPMS from Pyrococcus furiosus, in complex with nucleotide, donor, and glycolipid product. The structures offer snapshots along the catalytic cycle, and reveal how lipid binding couples to movements of interface helices, metal binding, and acceptor loop dynamics to control critical events leading to Dol-P-Man synthesis. The structures also rationalize the loss of dolichylphosphate mannose synthase function in dpm1-associated CDG. The generation of glycolipid dolichylphosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) is a critical step for protein glycosylation and GPI anchor synthesis. Here the authors report the structure of dolichylphosphate mannose synthase in complex with bound nucleotide and donor to provide insight into the mechanism of Dol-P-Man synthesis.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important mechanisms regulating metabolism as it can directly modify metabolic enzymes by the addition of phosphate groups. Attributed to such a rapid and reversible mechanism, cells can adjust metabolism rapidly in response to temporal changes. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a widely used cell factory and model organism, is reported to show frequent phosphorylation events in metabolism. Studying protein phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae allows for gaining new insight into the function of regulatory networks, which may enable improved metabolic engineering as well as identify mechanisms underlying human metabolic diseases. Here we collect functional phosphorylation events of 41 enzymes involved in yeast metabolism and demonstrate functional mechanisms and the application of this information in metabolic engineering. From a systems biology perspective, we describe the development of phosphoproteomics in yeast as well as approaches to analysing the phosphoproteomics data. Finally, we focus on integrated analyses with other omics data sets and genome-scale metabolic models. Despite the advances, future studies improving both experimental technologies and computational approaches are imperative to expand the current knowledge of protein phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae.

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
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) comprise a group of inborn errors of metabolism with abnormal glycosylation of proteins and lipids. Patients with defective protein N-glycosylation are identified in routine metabolic screening via analysis of serum transferrin glycosylation. Defects in the assembly of the dolichol linked Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) glycan and its transfer to proteins lead to the (partial) absence of complete glycans on proteins. These defects are called CDG-I and are located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or cytoplasm. Defects in the subsequent processing of protein bound glycans result in the presence of truncated glycans on proteins. These defects are called CDG-II and the enzymes involved are located mainly in the Golgi apparatus. In recent years, human defects have been identified in dolichol biosynthesis genes within the group of CDG-I patients. This has increased interest in dolichol metabolism, has resulted in specific recognizable clinical symptoms in CDG-I and has offered new mechanistic insights in dolichol biosynthesis. We here review its biosynthetic pathways, the clinical and biochemical phenotypes in dolichol-related CDG defects, up to the formation of dolichyl-P-mannose (Dol-P-Man), and discuss existing evidence of regulatory networks in dolichol metabolism to provide an outlook on therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The power of genome sequencing depends on the ability to understand what those genes and their proteins products actually do. The automated methods used to assign functions to putative proteins in newly sequenced organisms are limited by the size of our library of proteins with both known function and sequence. Unfortunately this library grows slowly, lagging well behind the rapid increase in novel protein sequences produced by modern genome sequencing methods. One potential source for rapidly expanding this functional library is the "back catalog" of enzymology--"orphan enzymes," those enzymes that have been characterized and yet lack any associated sequence. There are hundreds of orphan enzymes in the Enzyme Commission (EC) database alone. In this study, we demonstrate how this orphan enzyme "back catalog" is a fertile source for rapidly advancing the state of protein annotation. Starting from three orphan enzyme samples, we applied mass-spectrometry based analysis and computational methods (including sequence similarity networks, sequence and structural alignments, and operon context analysis) to rapidly identify the specific sequence for each orphan while avoiding the most time- and labor-intensive aspects of typical sequence identifications. We then used these three new sequences to more accurately predict the catalytic function of 385 previously uncharacterized or misannotated proteins. We expect that this kind of rapid sequence identification could be efficiently applied on a larger scale to make enzymology's "back catalog" another powerful tool to drive accurate genome annotation.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is an important regulatory post-translational modification in many biochemical processes. The phosphopeptide analysis strategies developed in this study were all at microscale. After using a standard microwave oven to assist protein digestion, phosphoserine and phosphothreonine were tagged with chemical analogues, such as 2-mercaptoethanol and 3-mercapto-1-propanol, to enable simultaneously relative quantitation and identification. This method enabled the use of thio alcohols for direct labeling of phosphorylated sites (not labeled at the mercapto, amino, hydroxyl, or carboxyl groups) of phosphopeptides. Various digestion parameters (e.g., microwave power, reaction time, NH4HCO3 concentration) and derivatization efficiency parameters (e.g., reaction time, labeling tag concentration) were studied and optimized. In both control and experimental samples, microwave-assisted digestion coupled with relative quantitation using analogue tags enabled calculation of phosphopeptide ratios in the same sequence. A non-labeling method was also established for quantifying phosphopeptides in human plasma by using the abundant protein albumin as an internal control for normalizing relative quantities of phosphopeptides. Nano ultra-performance liquid chromatography (nanoUPLC) was combined with LTQ Orbitrap to enable simultaneous protein relative quantitation and identification. These strategies proved to be effective for quantifying phosphopeptides in biological samples.

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
Up-regulation of the dolichol pathway, a "hallmark" of asparagine-linked protein glycosylation, enhances angiogenesis in vitro. The dynamic relationship between these two processes is now evaluated with tunicamycin. Capillary endothelial cells treated with tunicamycin were growth inhibited and could not be reversed with exogenous VEGF(165). Inhibition of angiogenesis is supported by down-regulation of (i) phosphorylated VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 receptors; (ii) VEGF(165)-specific phosphotyrosine kinase activity; and (iii) Matrigel(TM) invasion and chemotaxis. In vivo, tunicamycin prevented the vessel development in Matrigel(TM) implants in athymic Balb/c (nu/nu) mice. Immunohistochemical analysis of CD34 (p < 0.001) and CD144 (p < 0.001) exhibited reduced vascularization. A 3.8-fold increased expression of TSP-1, an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor in Matrigel(TM) implants correlated with that in tunicamycin (32 h)-treated capillary endothelial cells. Intravenous injection of tunicamycin (0.5 mg/kg to 1.0 mg/kg) per week slowed down a double negative (MDA-MB-435) grade III breast adenocarcinoma growth by ∼50-60% in 3 weeks. Histopathological analysis of the paraffin sections indicated significant reduction in vessel size, the microvascular density and tumor mitotic index. Ki-67 and VEGF expression in tumor tissue were also reduced. A significant reduction of N-glycan expression in tumor microvessel was also observed. High expression of GRP-78 in CD144-positive cells supported unfolded protein response-mediated ER stress in tumor microvasculature. ∼65% reduction of a triple negative (MDA-MB-231) breast tumor xenograft in 1 week with tunicamycin (0.25 mg/kg) given orally and the absence of systemic and/or organ failure strongly supported tunicamycin's potential for a powerful glycotherapeutic treatment of breast cancer in the clinic.

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
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.

Implication of protein kinase A for a hepato-protective mechanism of milrinone pretreatment. J Surg Res 2008; 155:32-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously reported that an increase of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in liver tissue after an administration of milrinone, a phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor attenuates hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to determine whether cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) activation was involved in the milrinone-induced hepatoprotective effect on an ischemia-reperfusion injury in an in vivo model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Lewis rats were allocated into 3 groups. In Group M, milrinone was administrated before ischemia; in Group I, a protein kinase A inhibitor, adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate, 8-bromo-, Rp-isomer, sodium salt (Rp-8-Br-cAMPS), was injected prior to the administration of milrinone; and in Group C, the control group, there was no pretreatment. After pretreatment, all rats were exposed to a 45-min total hepatic inflow occlusion. RESULTS After milrinone administration, liver cAMP concentrations and protein kinase A activity ratios were elevated. They protected the liver from ischemia-reperfusion injury. Rp-8-Br-cAMPS suppressed protein kinase A activation without affecting cAMP elevating responses to milrinone. Compared with Group C, hepatocellular necrosis, neutrophil infiltration, and congestion were ameliorated, and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase levels were significantly suppressed in Group M. Rp-8-Br-cAMPS canceled this effect, showing histological damages in Group I as severe as in Group C. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase were the same in Groups C and I. CONCLUSIONS Activation of protein kinase A might play an important role in the mechanism of milrinone-induced ischemic tolerance in the liver.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis requires transfer and subsequent processing of the glycan Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 (G3M9Gn2) from the lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) glucose3mannose9N-acetylglucosamine2-P-P-dolichol (G3M9Gn2-P-P-Dol) to asparaginyl residues of nascent glycoprotein precursor polypeptides. However, it is unclear how the ER is protected against dysfunction from abnormal accumulation of LLO intermediates and aberrant N-glycosylation, as occurs in certain metabolic diseases. In metazoans phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) on Ser51 by PERK (PKR-like ER kinase), which is activated by ER stress, attenuates translation initiation. We use brief glucose deprivation to simulate LLO biosynthesis disorders, and show that attenuation of polypeptide synthesis by PERK promotes extension of LLO intermediates to G3M9Gn2-P-P-Dol under these substrate-limiting conditions, as well as counteract abnormal N-glycosylation. This simple mechanism requires eIF2α Ser51 phosphorylation by PERK, and is mimicked by agents that stimulate cytoplasmic stress-responsive Ser51 kinase activity. Thus, by sensing ER stress from defective glycosylation, PERK can restore ER homeostasis by balancing polypeptide synthesis with flux through the LLO pathway.

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
Dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) synthase catalyzes the reversible formation of a key intermediate that is involved as a mannosyl donor in at least three different pathways for the synthesis of glycoconjugates important for eukaryotic development and viability. The enzyme is found associated with membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it transfers mannose from the water soluble cytoplasmic donor, guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP)-Man, to the membrane-bound, extremely hydrophobic, and long-chain polyisoprenoid acceptor, dolichyl-phosphate (Dol-P). The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been utilized to investigate the structure and activity of the protein and interactions of the enzyme with Dol-P and synthetic Dol-P analogs containing fluorescent probes. These interactions have been explored utilizing fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to establish intramolecular distances within the protein molecule as well as intermolecular distances to determine the localization of the active site and the hydrophobic substrate on the enzyme's surface. A three-dimensional (3D) model of the enzyme was produced with bound substrates, Dol-P, GDP-Man, and divalent cations to delineate the binding sites for these substrates as well as the catalytic site. The FRET analysis was used to characterize the functional properties of the enzyme and to evaluate its modeled structure. The data allowed for proposing a molecular mechanism of catalysis as an inverting mechanism of mannosyl residue transfer.
