Abstract
The catalytic mechanism of aC a + 2 ${C{a}^{+2}}$ -dependent family 92 α ${{\rm \alpha }}$ -mannosidase, which is abundantly present in human gut flora and malfunctions leading to the lysosomal storage disease α-mannosidosis, has been investigated using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics and metadynamics methods. Computational efforts show that the enzyme follows a conformational itinerary of and theC a + 2 ${C{a}^{+2}}$ ion serves a dual purpose, as it not only distorts the sugar ring but also plays a crucial role in orchestrating the arrangement of catalytic residues. This orchestration, in turn, contributes to the facilitation of O S 2 ${{{\rm \ }}^{{\rm O}}{{\rm S}}_{2}}$ conformers for the ensuing reaction. This mechanistic insight is well-aligned with the experimental predictions of the catalytic pathway, and the computed energies are of the same order of magnitude as the experimental estimations. Hence, our results extend the mechanistic understanding of glycosidases.

Abstract
Super-armed glycosyl donors, whose substituents are predominantly held in pseudoaxial positions, exhibit strongly increased reactivity in glycosylation through significant stabilization of oxocarbenium-like transition states. Examination of X-ray crystal structures reveals that the GH47 family of glycoside hydrolases have evolved so as to distort their substrates away from the ground state conformation in such a manner as to present multiple C-O bonds in pseudoaxial positions and so benefit from conformational super-arming of their substrates, thereby enhancing catalysis. Through analysis of literature mutagenic studies, we show that a suitably placed aromatic residue in GHs 6 and 47 sterically enforces super-armed conformations on their substrates. GH families 45, 81, and 134 on the other hand impose conformational super-arming on their substrates, by maintaining the more active ring conformation through hydrogen bonding rather than steric interactions. The recognition of substrate super-arming by select GH families provides a further parallel with synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and nature and opens further avenues for the design of improved glycosidase inhibitors.

Abstract
The failure of polypeptides to achieve conformational maturation following biosynthesis can result in the formation of protein aggregates capable of disrupting essential cellular functions. In the secretory pathway, misfolded asparagine (N)-linked glycoproteins are selectively sorted for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) in response to the catalytic removal of terminal alpha-linked mannose units. Remarkably, ER mannosidase I/Man1b1, the first alpha-mannosidase implicated in this conventional N-glycan-mediated process, can also contribute to ERAD in an unconventional, catalysis-independent manner. To interrogate this functional dichotomy, the intracellular fates of two naturally occurring misfolded N-glycosylated variants of human alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), Null Hong Kong (NHK), and Z (ATZ), in Man1b1 knockout HEK293T cells were monitored in response to mutated or truncated forms of transfected Man1b1. As expected, the conventional catalytic system requires an intact active site in the Man1b1 luminal domain. In contrast, the unconventional system is under the control of an evolutionarily extended N-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Also, N-glycans attached to misfolded AAT are not required for accelerated degradation mediated by the unconventional system, further demonstrating its catalysis-independent nature. We also established that both systems accelerate the proteasomal degradation of NHK in metabolic pulse-chase labeling studies. Taken together, these results have identified the previously unrecognized regulatory capacity of the Man1b1 cytoplasmic tail and provided insight into the functional dichotomy of Man1b1 as a component in the mammalian proteostasis network.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) is known to interact with multiple host cellular proteins during its replication in the target cell. While many of these host cellular proteins facilitate viral replication, a number of them are reported to inhibit HIV-1 replication at various stages of its life cycle. These host cellular proteins, which are known as restriction factors, constitute an integral part of the host's first line of defence against the viral pathogen. Since the discovery of apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme 3G (APOBEC3G) as an HIV-1 restriction factor, several human proteins have been identified that exhibit anti-HIV-1 restriction. While each restriction factor employs a distinct mechanism of inhibition, the HIV-1 virus has equally evolved complex counter strategies to neutralize their inhibitory effect. APOBEC3G, tetherin, sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartate domain 1 (SAMHD1), and trim-5α are some of the best known HIV-1 restriction factors that have been studied in great detail. Recently, six novel restriction factors were discovered that exhibit significant antiviral activity: endoplasmic reticulum α1,2-mannosidase I (ERManI), translocator protein (TSPO), guanylate-binding protein 5 (GBP5), serine incorporator (SERINC3/5) and zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP). The focus of this review is to discuss the antiviral mechanism of action of these six restriction factors and provide insights into the probable counter-evasion strategies employed by the HIV-1 virus. The recent discovery of new restriction factors substantiates the complex host-pathogen interactions occurring during HIV-1 pathogenesis and makes it imperative that further investigations are conducted to elucidate the molecular basis of HIV-1 replication.

Abstract
Maturation of Asn-linked oligosaccharides in the eukaryotic secretory pathway requires the trimming of nascent glycan chains to remove all glucose and several mannose residues before extension into complex-type structures on the cell surface and secreted glycoproteins. Multiple glycoside hydrolase family 47 (GH47) α-mannosidases, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) α-mannosidase I (ERManI) and Golgi α-mannosidase IA (GMIA), are responsible for cleavage of terminal α1,2-linked mannose residues to produce uniquely trimmed oligomannose isomers that are necessary for ER glycoprotein quality control and glycan maturation. ERManI and GMIA have similar catalytic domain structures, but each enzyme cleaves distinct residues from tribranched oligomannose glycan substrates. The structural basis for branch-specific cleavage by ERManI and GMIA was explored by replacing an essential enzyme-bound Ca2+ ion with a lanthanum (La3+) ion. This ion swap led to enzyme inactivation while retaining high-affinity substrate interactions. Cocrystallization of La3+-bound enzymes with Man9GlcNAc2 substrate analogs revealed enzyme-substrate complexes with distinct modes of glycan branch insertion into the respective enzyme active-site clefts. Both enzymes had glycan interactions that extended across the entire glycan structure, but each enzyme engaged a different glycan branch and used different sets of glycan interactions. Additional mutagenesis and time-course studies of glycan cleavage probed the structural basis of enzyme specificity. The results provide insights into the enzyme catalytic mechanisms and reveal structural snapshots of the sequential glycan cleavage events. The data also indicate that full steric access to glycan substrates determines the efficiency of mannose-trimming reactions that control the conversion to complex-type structures in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The hallmark of N-linked protein glycosylation is the generation of diverse glycan structures in the secretory pathway. Dynamic, non-template-driven processes of N-glycan remodeling in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi provide the cellular setting for structural diversity. We applied newly developed mass spectrometry-based analytics to quantify site-specific N-glycan remodeling of the model protein Pdi1p expressed in insect cells. Molecular dynamics simulation, mutational analysis, kinetic studies of in vitro processing events and glycan flux analysis supported the defining role of the protein in N-glycan processing.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that the mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) induces HIV-1 envelope (Env) degradation via the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway, but the mechanism was not clear. Here we investigated how the four ER-associated glycoside hydrolase family 47 (GH47) α-mannosidases, ERManI, and ER-degradation enhancing α-mannosidase-like (EDEM) proteins 1, 2, and 3, are involved in the Env degradation process. Ectopic expression of these four α-mannosidases uncovers that only ERManI inhibits HIV-1 Env expression in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, genetic knock-out of the ERManI gene MAN1B1 using CRISPR/Cas9 technology disrupts the TSPO-mediated Env degradation. Biochemical studies show that HIV-1 Env interacts with ERManI, and between the ERManI cytoplasmic, transmembrane, lumenal stem, and lumenal catalytic domains, the catalytic domain plays a critical role in the Env-ERManI interaction. In addition, functional studies show that inactivation of the catalytic sites by site-directed mutagenesis disrupts the ERManI activity. These studies identify ERManI as a critical GH47 α-mannosidase in the ER-associated protein degradation pathway that initiates the Env degradation and suggests that its catalytic domain and enzymatic activity play an important role in this process.

Abstract
Proteins entering the secretory pathway are translocated across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane in an unfolded form. In the ER they are restricted to a quality control system that ensures correct folding or eventual degradation of improperly folded polypeptides. Mannose trimming of N-glycans on newly synthesized proteins plays an important role in the recognition and sorting of terminally misfolded glycoproteins for ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). In this process misfolded proteins are retrotranslocated into the cytosol, polyubiquitinated, and eventually degraded by the proteasome. The mechanism by which misfolded glycoproteins are recognized and recruited to the degradation machinery has been extensively studied during last decade. In this review, we focus on ER degradation-enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein (EDEM) family proteins that seem to play a key role in the discrimination between proteins undergoing a folding process and terminally misfolded proteins directed for degradation. We describe interactions of EDEM proteins with other components of the ERAD machinery, as well as with various protein substrates. Carbohydrate-dependent interactions together with N-glycan-independent interactions seem to regulate the complex process of protein recognition and direction for proteosomal degradation.

Abstract
Background EDEM1 and EDEM2 are crucial regulators of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) that extracts misfolded glycoproteins from the calnexin chaperone system. The degradation of ERAD substrates involves mannose trimming of N-linked glycans; however the precise mechanism of substrate recognition and sorting to the ERAD pathway is still poorly understood. It has previously been demonstrated that EDEM1 and EDEM2 binding does not require the trimming of substrate glycans or even ERAD substrate glycosylation, thus suggesting that both chaperones probably recognize misfolded regions of aberrant proteins. Results In this work, we focused on the substrate recognition by EDEM1 and EDEM2, asking whether hydrophobicity of protein determinants might be important for these interactions in human cells. In the study we used ricin, a protein toxin that utilizes the ERAD pathway in its retrotranslocation from the ER to the cytosol, and a model misfolded protein, the pancreatic isoform of human β-secretase, BACE457. Mutations in the hydrophobic regions of these proteins allowed us to obtain mutated forms with increased and decreased hydrophobicity. Conclusions Our data provide the first evidence that recognition of ERAD substrates by EDEM1 and EDEM2 might be determined by a sufficiently high hydrophobicity of protein determinants. Moreover, EDEM proteins can bind hydrophobic transmembrane regions of misfolded ERAD substrates. These data contribute to the general understanding of the regulation of ERAD in mammalian cells.

Abstract
In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the sugar chain is initially introduced onto newly synthesized proteins as a triantennary tetradecasaccharide (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2). The attached oligosaccharide chain is subjected to stepwise trimming by the actions of specific glucosidases and mannosidases. In these processes, the transiently expressed N-glycans, as processing intermediates, function as signals for the determination of glycoprotein fates, i.e., folding, transport, or degradation through interactions of a series of intracellular lectins. The monoglucosylated glycoforms are hallmarks of incompletely folded states of glycoproteins in this system, whereas the outer mannose trimming leads to ER-associated glycoprotein degradation. This review outlines the recently emerging evidence regarding the molecular and structural basis of this glycoprotein quality control system, which is regulated through dynamic interplay among intracellular lectins, glycosidases, and glycosyltransferase. Structural snapshots of carbohydrate-lectin interactions have been provided at the atomic level using X-ray crystallographic analyses. Conformational ensembles of uncomplexed triantennary high-mannose-type oligosaccharides have been characterized in a quantitative manner using molecular dynamics simulation in conjunction with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These complementary views provide new insights into glycoprotein recognition in quality control coupled with N-glycan processing.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of proteins – from translation to folding to export – encompasses a complex set of events that are exquisitely regulated and scrutinized to ensure the functional quality of the end products. Cells have evolved to capitalize on multiple post-translational modifications in addition to primary structure to indicate the folding status of nascent polypeptides to the chaperones and other proteins that assist in their folding and export. These modifications can also, in the case of irreversibly misfolded candidates, signal the need for dislocation and degradation. The current Review focuses on the glycoprotein quality-control (GQC) system that utilizes protein N-glycosylation and N-glycan trimming to direct nascent glycopolypeptides through the folding, export and dislocation pathways in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A diverse set of pathological conditions rooted in defective as well as over-vigilant ER quality-control systems have been identified, underlining its importance in human health and disease. We describe the GQC pathways and highlight disease and animal models that have been instrumental in clarifying our current understanding of these processes.

Abstract
Conformation-based disorders are manifested at the level of protein structure, necessitating an accurate understanding of how misfolded proteins are processed by the cellular proteostasis network. Asparagine-linked glycosylation plays important roles for protein quality control within the secretory pathway. The suspected role for the MAN1B1 gene product MAN1B1, also known as ER mannosidase I, is to function within the ER similar to the yeast ortholog Mns1p, which removes a terminal mannose unit to initiate a glycan-based ER-associated degradation (ERAD) signal. However, we recently discovered that MAN1B1 localizes to the Golgi complex in human cells and uncovered its participation in ERAD substrate retention, retrieval to the ER, and subsequent degradation from this organelle. The objective of the current study was to further characterize the contribution of MAN1B1 as part of a Golgi-based quality control network. Multiple lines of experimental evidence support a model in which neither the mannosidase activity nor catalytic domain is essential for the retention or degradation of the misfolded ERAD substrate Null Hong Kong. Instead, a highly conserved, vertebrate-specific non-enzymatic decapeptide sequence in the luminal stem domain plays a significant role in controlling the fate of overexpressed Null Hong Kong. Together, these findings define a new functional paradigm in which Golgi-localized MAN1B1 can play a mannosidase-independent gatekeeper role in the proteostasis network of higher eukaryotes.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum α-1,2 mannosidase I (ERManI) is an enzyme, which removes α(1-2) linked mannoses from asparagine-linked oligosaccharides on glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ERManI preferentially removes one α(1-2) linked mannose from B-chain of Man(9)GlcNAc(2). When glycoproteins fail to achieve properly folding, increased removal of α(1-2) linked mannoses on their oligosaccharides is induced and leads them to be disposed and degraded by ER-associated degradation pathway. However, it is still inconclusive whether accelerated removal of α(1-2) linked mannoses on those glycoproteins is catalyzed by the α-1,2 mannosidase I, proteins similar to mannosidase I [e.g. ER degradation-enhancing α-1,2 mannosidase-like protein (EDEM)], or both of them. Therefore, to approach this issue, we have investigated its in vitro activities using various oligosaccharides and glycoproteins as substrates. A recombinant form of human ERManI (hERManI) was prepared by using Escherichia coli. First, the enzyme generated Man(6)GlcNAc(2)-PA and Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PA from 100 μM Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PA after a one-hour reaction. Second, we have exposed bovine thyroglobulin and soybean agglutinin to denaturing conditions, e.g. 8 M urea, and used those glycoproteins as substrates. Sugar moieties were released from the reactant by PNGase F and their structures and amounts were elucidated by HPLC analysis. Intriguingly, the enzyme was shown to remove mannoses from bovine thyroglobulin and soybean agglutinin to larger extents when they were exposed to a denaturant. Therefore, our results suggested that hERManI could recognize tertiary and/or quaternary structures of glycoproteins and remove more α-1,2 linked mannoses from misfolded glycoproteins in living cells.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are one of the most important products of the biopharmaceutical industry. Their therapeutic efficacy depends on the post-translational process of glycosylation, which is influenced by manufacturing process conditions. Herein, we present a dynamic mathematical model for mAb glycosylation that considers cisternal maturation by approximating the Golgi apparatus to a plug flow reactor and by including recycling of Golgi-resident proteins (glycosylation enzymes and transport proteins [TPs]). The glycosylation reaction rate expressions were derived based on the reported kinetic mechanisms for each enzyme, and transport of nucleotide sugar donors [NSDs] from the cytosol to the Golgi lumen was modeled to serve as a link between glycosylation and cellular metabolism. Optimization-based methodologies were developed for estimating unknown enzyme and TP concentration profile parameters. The resulting model is capable of reproducing glycosylation profiles of commercial mAbs. It can further reproduce the effect gene silencing of the FucT glycosylation enzyme and cytosolic NSD depletion have on the mAb oligosaccharide profile. All novel elements of our model are based on biological evidence and generate more accurate results than previous reports. We therefore believe that the improvements contribute to a more detailed representation of the N-linked glycosylation process. The overall results show the potential of our model toward evaluating cell engineering strategies that yield desired glycosylation profiles. Additionally, when coupled to cellular metabolism, this model could be used to assess the effect of process conditions on glycosylation and aid in the design, control, and optimization of biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Abstract
Extensive trimming of mannose residues targets a misfolded glycoprotein for endoplasmic reticulum–associated degradation (ERAD). Surprisingly, overexpression of EDEM1 or its up-regulation by the unfolded protein response bypasses this requirement. Delivery to OS9 in the ER-derived quality control compartment and ERAD becomes mannose trimming–independent, accelerating glycoprotein disposal. Trimming of mannose residues from the N-linked oligosaccharide precursor is a stringent requirement for glycoprotein endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD). In this paper, we show that, surprisingly, overexpression of ER degradation–enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein 1 (EDEM1) or its up-regulation by IRE1, as occurs in the unfolded protein response, overrides this requirement and renders unnecessary the expression of ER mannosidase I. An EDEM1 deletion mutant lacking most of the carbohydrate-recognition domain also accelerated ERAD, delivering the substrate to XTP3-B and OS9. EDEM1 overexpression also accelerated the degradation of a mutant nonglycosylated substrate. Upon proteasomal inhibition, EDEM1 concentrated together with the ERAD substrate in the pericentriolar ER-derived quality control compartment (ERQC), where ER mannosidase I and ERAD machinery components are localized, including, as we show here, OS9. We suggest that a nascent glycoprotein can normally dissociate from EDEM1 and be rescued from ERAD by reentering calnexin-refolding cycles, a condition terminated by mannose trimming. At high EDEM1 levels, glycoprotein release is prevented and glycan interactions are no longer required, canceling the otherwise mandatory ERAD timing by mannose trimming and accelerating the targeting to degradation.

Abstract
We have used genome-wide genotyping to identify an overlapping homozygosity-by-descent locus on chromosome 9q34.3 (MRT15) in four consanguineous families affected by nonsyndromic autosomal-recessive intellectual disability (NS-ARID) and one in which the patients show additional clinical features. Four of the families are from Pakistan, and one is from Iran. Using a combination of next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing, we have identified mutations in the gene MAN1B1, encoding a mannosyl oligosaccharide, alpha 1,2-mannosidase. In one Pakistani family, MR43, a homozygous nonsense mutation (RefSeq number NM_016219.3: c.1418G>A [p.Trp473*]), segregated with intellectual disability and additional dysmorphic features. We also identified the missense mutation c. 1189G>A (p.Glu397Lys; RefSeq number NM_016219.3), which segregates with NS-ARID in three families who come from the same village and probably have shared inheritance. In the Iranian family, the missense mutation c.1000C>T (p.Arg334Cys; RefSeq number NM_016219.3) also segregates with NS-ARID. Both missense mutations are at amino acid residues that are conserved across the animal kingdom, and they either reduce k(cat) by ∼1300-fold or disrupt stable protein expression in mammalian cells. MAN1B1 is one of the few NS-ARID genes with an elevated mutation frequency in patients with NS-ARID from different populations.

Abstract
The secretory pathway provides a physical route through which only correctly folded gene products are delivered to the eukaryotic cell surface. The efficiency of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD), which orchestrates the clearance of structurally aberrant proteins under basal conditions, is boosted by the unfolded protein response (UPR) as one of several means to relieve ER stress. However, the underlying mechanism that links the two systems in higher eukaryotes has remained elusive. Herein, the results of transient expression, RNAi-mediated knockdown and functional studies demonstrate that the transcriptional elevation of EDEM1 boosts the efficiency of glycoprotein ERAD through the formation of a complex that suppresses the proteolytic downregulation of ER mannosidase I (ERManI). The results of site-directed mutagenesis indicate that this capacity does not require that EDEM1 possess inherent mannosidase activity. A model is proposed in which ERManI, by functioning as a downstream effector target of EDEM1, represents a checkpoint activation paradigm by which the mammalian UPR coordinates the boosting of ERAD.

Abstract
Oligo- and polysaccharides are infamous for being extremely flexible molecules, populating a series of well-defined rotational isomeric states under physiological conditions. Characterization of this heterogeneous conformational ensemble has been a major obstacle impeding high-resolution structure determination of carbohydrates and acting as a bottleneck in the effort to understand the relationship between the carbohydrate structure and function. This challenge has compelled the field to develop and apply theoretical and experimental methods that can explore conformational ensembles by both capturing and deconvoluting the structural and dynamic properties of carbohydrates. This review focuses on computational approaches that have been successfully used in combination with experiment to detail the three-dimensional structure of carbohydrates in a solution and in a complex with proteins. In addition, emerging experimental techniques for three-dimensional structural characterization of carbohydrate-protein complexes and future challenges in the field of structural glycobiology are discussed. The review is divided into five sections: (1) The complexity and plasticity of carbohydrates, (2) Predicting carbohydrate-protein interactions, (3) Calculating relative and absolute binding free energies for carbohydrate-protein complexes, (4) Emerging and evolving techniques for experimental characterization of carbohydrate-protein structures, and (5) Current challenges in structural glycoscience.

Abstract
Class I alpha-mannosidases (glycoside hydrolase family GH47) play key roles in the maturation of N-glycans and the ER-associated degradation of unfolded glycoproteins. The 1.95 A resolution structure of a fungal alpha-1,2-mannosidase in complex with the substrate analogue methyl-alpha-D-lyxopyranosyl-(1',2)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (LM) shows the intact disaccharide spanning the -1/+1 subsites, with the D-lyxoside ring in the -1 subsite in the 1C4 chair conformation, and provides insight into the mechanism of catalysis. The absence of the C5' hydroxymethyl group on the D-lyxoside moiety results in the side chain of Arg407 adopting two alternative conformations: the minor one interacting with Asp375 and the major one interacting with both the D-lyxoside and the catalytic base Glu409, thus disrupting its function. Chemical modification of Asp375 has previously been shown to inactivate the enzyme. Taken together, the data suggest that Arg407, which belongs to the conserved sequence motif RPExxE, may act to modulate the activity of the enzyme. The proposed mechanism for modulating the activity is potentially a general mechanism for this superfamily.

Abstract
A substantial fraction of eukaryotic gene products are synthesized by ribosomes attached at the cytosolic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. These polypeptides enter cotranslationally in the ER lumen, which contains resident molecular chaperones and folding factors that assist their maturation. Native proteins are released from the ER lumen and are transported through the secretory pathway to their final intra- or extracellular destination. Folding-defective polypeptides are exported across the ER membrane into the cytosol and destroyed. Cellular and organismal homeostasis relies on a balanced activity of the ER folding, quality control, and degradation machineries as shown by the dozens of human diseases related to defective maturation or disposal of individual polypeptides generated in the ER.

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
Proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen are exposed to several dedicated chaperones and folding factors that ensure efficient maturation. Nevertheless, protein folding remains error-prone and mutations in the polypeptide sequence may significantly reduce folding-efficiency. Folding-incompetent proteins carrying N-glycans are extracted from futile folding cycles in the calnexin chaperone system upon intervention of EDEM1, EDEM2 and EDEM3, three ER-stress-induced members of the glycosyl hydrolase 47 family. This review describes current knowledge about mechanisms regulating folding and disposal of glycoproteins.

Abstract
In the early secretory pathway, opportunistic cleavage of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mannosidase I targets misfolded glycoproteins for dislocation into the cytosol and destruction by 26 S proteasomes. The low basal concentration of the glycosidase is believed to coordinate the glycan cleavage with prolonged conformation-based ER retention, ensuring that terminally misfolded glycoproteins are preferentially targeted for destruction. Herein the intracellular fate of human ER mannosidase I was monitored to determine whether a post-translational process might contribute to the regulation of its intracellular concentration. The transiently expressed recombinant human glycosidase was subject to rapid intracellular turnover in mouse hepatoma cells, as was the endogenous mouse ortholog. Incubation with either chloroquine or leupeptin, but not lactacystin, led to intracellular stabilization, implicating the involvement of lysosomal acid hydrolases. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide led to intracellular depletion of the glycosidase and concomitant ablation of asparagine-linked glycoprotein degradation, confirming the physiologic relevance of the destabilization process. Metabolic incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate, detection by anti-phosphoserine antiserum, and the stabilizing effect of general serine kinase inhibition implied that ER mannosidase I is subjected to regulated proteolysis. Stabilization in response to genetically engineered removal of the amino-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a postulated regulatory domain, and colocalization of green fluorescent protein fusion proteins with Lamp1 provided two additional lines of evidence to support the hypothesis. A model is proposed in which proteolytically driven checkpoint control of ER mannosidase I contributes to the establishment of an equitable glycoprotein quality control standard by which the efficiency of asparagine-linked glycoprotein conformational maturation is measured.

Abstract
Glycosylation of asparagine residues in Asn-x-Ser/Thr motifs is a common covalent modification of proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). By substantially contributing to the overall hydrophilicity of the polypeptide, pre-assembled core glycans inhibit possible aggregation caused by the inevitable exposure of hydrophobic patches on the as yet unstructured chains. Thereafter, N-glycans are modified by ER-resident enzymes glucosidase I (GI), glucosidase II (GII), UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGT) and mannosidase(s) and become functional appendices that determine the fate of the associated polypeptide. Recent work has improved our understanding of how the removal of terminal glucose residues from N-glycans allows newly synthesized proteins to access the calnexin chaperone system; how substrate retention in this specialized chaperone system is regulated by de-/re-glucosylation cycles catalyzed by GII and UGT1; and how acceleration of N-glycan dismantling upon induction of EDEM variants promotes ER-associated degradation (ERAD) under conditions of ER stress. In particular, characterization of cells lacking certain ER chaperones has revealed important new information on the mechanisms regulating protein folding and quality control. Tight regulation of N-glycan modifications is crucial to maintain protein quality control, to ensure the synthesis of functional polypeptides and to avoid constipation of the ER with folding-defective polypeptides.

Abstract
We present a constrained ab initio molecular dynamics method that allows the modeling of the conformational interconversions of glycopyranosyl oxacarbenium ions. The model was successfully tested by estimating the barriers to ring inversion for two 4-substituted tetrahydropyranosyl oxacarbenium ions. The model was further extended to predict the pathways that connect the (4)H(3) half-chair conformation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-glucopyranosyl cation to its inverted (5)S(1) conformation and the (4)H(3) half-chair conformation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-mannopyranosyl cation to its inverted (3)E conformation. The modeled interconversion pathways reconcile a large body of experimental work on the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of glycosides and the mechanisms of a number of glucosidases and mannosidases.

Abstract
Proteins expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are covalently modified by co-translational addition of pre-assembled core glycans (glucose(3)-mannose(9)-N-acetylglucosamine(2)) to asparagines in Asn-X-Ser/Thr motifs. N-Glycan processing is essential for protein quality control in the ER. Cleavages and re-additions of the innermost glucose residue prolong folding attempts in the calnexin cycle. Progressive loss of mannoses is a symptom of long retention in the ER and elicits preparation of terminally misfolded polypeptides for dislocation into the cytosol and proteasome-mediated degradation. The ER stress-induced protein EDEM1 regulates disposal of folding-defective glycoproteins and has been described as a mannose-binding lectin. Here we show that elevation of the intralumenal concentration of EDEM1 accelerates ER-associated degradation (ERAD) by accelerating de-mannosylation of terminally misfolded glycoproteins and by inhibiting formation of covalent aggregates upon release of terminally misfolded ERAD candidates from calnexin. Acceleration of Man(9) or Man(5)N-glycans dismantling upon overexpression was fully blocked by substitution in EDEM1 of one catalytic residue conserved amongst alpha1,2-mannosidases, thus suggesting that EDEM1 is an active mannosidase. This mutation did not affect the chaperone function of EDEM1.

Abstract
Nascent polypeptides emerging into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are N-glycosylated on asparagines in Asn-Xxx-Ser/Thr motifs. Processing of the core oligosaccharide eventually determines the fate of the associated polypeptide by regulating entry into and retention by the calnexin chaperone system, or extraction from the ER folding environment for disposal. Recent advances have shown that at least two N-glycans are necessary for protein access to the calnexin chaperone system and that polypeptide cycling in the system is a rather rare event, which, for folding-defective polypeptides, is activated only upon persistent misfolding. Additionally, dismantling of the polypeptide-bound N-glycan interrupts futile folding attempts, and elicits preparation of the misfolded chain for dislocation into the cytosol and degradation.

Abstract
Alpha-(1-->2)-mannosidase I from the endoplasmic reticulum (ERManI), a Family 47 glycoside hydrolase, is a key enzyme in the N-glycan synthesis pathway. Catalytic-domain crystal structures of yeast and human ERMan1s have been determined, the former with a hydrolytic product and the latter without ligands, with the inhibitors 1-deoxymannojirimycin and kifunensine, and with a thiodisaccharide substrate analog. Both inhibitors were bound at the base of the funnel-shaped active site as the unusual 1C4 conformer, while the substrate analog glycon is a 3S1 conformer. In the current study, AutoDock was used to dock alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-D-mannopyranose with its glycon in chair (1C4,4C1), half-chair (3H2,3H4,4H3), skew-boat (OS2,3S1,5S1), boat (2,5B,3,OB,B1,4,B2,5), and envelope (3E,4E,E3,E4) conformations into the yeast ERManI active site. Both docked energies and forces on docked ligand atoms were calculated to determine how the ligand distorts to the transition state. From these, we can conclude that (1) both 1C4 and OS2 can be the starting conformers; (2) the most likely binding pathway is 1C4-->3H2-->OS2-->3,OB-->3S1-->3E; (3) the transition state is likely to be close to a 3E conformation.

Abstract
Alpha-mannosidases in eukaryotic cells are involved in both glycan biosynthetic reactions and glycan catabolism. Two broad families of enzymes have been identified that cleave terminal mannose linkages from Asn-linked oligosaccharides (Moremen, 2000), including the Class 1 mannosidases (CAZy GH family 47 (Henrissat and Bairoch, 1996)) of the early secretory pathway involved in the processing of N-glycans and quality control and the Class 2 mannosidases (CAZy family GH38 [Henrissat and Bairoch, 1996]) involved in glycoprotein biosynthesis or catabolism. Within the Class 1 family of alpha-mannosidases, three subfamilies of enzymes have been identified (Moremen, 2000). The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) alpha1,2-mannosidase I (ERManI) subfamily acts to cleave a single residue from Asn-linked glycans in the ER. The Golgi alpha-mannosidase I (GolgiManI) subfamily has at least three members in mammalian systems (Herscovics et al., 1994; Lal et al., 1994; Tremblay and Herscovics, 2000) involved in glycan maturation in the Golgi complex to form the Man(5)GlcNAc(2) processing intermediate. The third subfamily of GH47 proteins comprises the ER degradation, enhancing alpha-mannosidase-like proteins (EDEM proteins) (Helenius and Aebi, 2004; Hirao et al., 2006; Mast et al., 2005). These proteins have been proposed to accelerate the degradation of misfolded proteins in the lumen of the ER by a lectin function that leads to retrotranslocation to the cytosol and proteasomal degradation. Recent studies have also indicated that ERManI acts as a timer for initiation of glycoprotein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (Hosokawa et al., 2003; Wu et al., 2003). This article discusses methods for analysis of the GH47 alpha-mannosidases, including expression, purification, activity assays, generation of point mutants, and binding studies by surface plasmon resonance.

Abstract
We identified 1113 articles (103 reviews, 1010 primary research articles) published in 2005 that describe experiments performed using commercially available optical biosensors. While this number of publications is impressive, we find that the quality of the biosensor work in these articles is often pretty poor. It is a little disappointing that there appears to be only a small set of researchers who know how to properly perform, analyze, and present biosensor data. To help focus the field, we spotlight work published by 10 research groups that exemplify the quality of data one should expect to see from a biosensor experiment. Also, in an effort to raise awareness of the common problems in the biosensor field, we provide side-by-side examples of good and bad data sets from the 2005 literature.

Abstract
In humans and rodents, the lysosomal catabolism of core Man(3)GlcNAc(2) N-glycan structures is catalyzed by the concerted action of several exoglycosidases, including a broad specificity lysosomal alpha-mannosidase (LysMan), core-specific alpha1,6-mannosidase, beta-mannosidase, and cleavage at the reducing terminus by a di-N-acetylchitobiase. We describe here the first cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of a novel human glycosylhydrolase family 38 alpha-mannosidase with catalytic characteristics similar to those established previously for the core-specific alpha1,6-mannosidase (acidic pH optimum, inhibition by swainsonine and 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-mannitol, and stimulation by Co(2+) and Zn(2+)). Substrate specificity studies comparing the novel human alpha-mannosidase with human LysMan revealed that the former enzyme efficiently cleaved only the alpha1-6mannose residue from Man(3)GlcNAc but not Man(3)GlcNAc(2) or other larger high mannose oligosaccharides, indicating a requirement for chitobiase action before alpha1,6-mannosidase activity. In contrast, LysMan cleaved all of the alpha-linked mannose residues from high mannose oligosaccharides except the core alpha1-6mannose residue. alpha1,6-Mannosidase transcripts were ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, and expressed sequence tag searches identified homologous sequences in murine, porcine, and canine databases. No expressed sequence tags were identified for bovine alpha1,6-mannosidase, despite the identification of two sequence homologs in the bovine genome. The lack of conservation in 5'-flanking sequences for the bovine alpha1,6-mannosidase genes may lead to defective transcription similar to transcription defects in the bovine chitobiase gene. These results suggest that the chitobiase and alpha1,6-mannosidase function in tandem for mammalian lysosomal N-glycan catabolism.
