Abstract
Free polymannose-type oligosaccharides (fOS) are processed by cytosolic enzymes to generate Man5GlcNAc which is transferred to lysosomes and degraded. Lysosomal fOS import was demonstrated in vitro but is poorly characterized in part due to lack of convenient substrates. As chitooligosaccharides (COS, oligomers β1,4-linked GlcNAc) block [3H]Man5GlcNAc transport into lysosomes, we asked if COS are themselves transported and if so, can they be chemically modified to generate fluorescent substrates. We show that COS are degraded by lysosomal hydrolases to generate GlcNAc, and robust ATP-dependent transport of [3H]COS2/4 di and tetrasaccharides into intact rat liver lysosomes was observed only after blocking lysosomal [3H]GlcNAc efflux with cytochalasin B. As oligosaccharides with unmodified reducing termini are the most efficient inhibitors of [3H]COS2/4 and [3H]Man5GlcNAc transport, the non-reducing GlcNAc residue of COS2-4 was de-N-acetylated using Sinorhizobium meliloti NodB, and the resulting amine substituted with rhodamine B (RB) to yield RB-COS2-4. The fluorescent compounds inhibit [3H]Man5GlcNAc transport and display temperature-sensitive, ATP-dependent transport into a sedimentable compartment that is ruptured with the lysosomotropic agent L-methyl methionine ester. Once in this compartment, RB-COS3 is converted to RB-COS2 further identifying it as the lysosomal compartment. RB-COS2/3 and [3H]Man5GlcNAc transports are blocked similarly by competing sugars, and are partially inhibited by the vacuolar ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin and high concentrations of the P-type ATPase inhibitor orthovanadate. These data show that Man5GlcNAc, COS2/4 and RB-COS2/3 are transported into lysosomes by the same or closely related mechanism and demonstrate the utility of COS modified at their non-reducing terminus to study lysosomal oligosaccharide transport.

Abstract
Asparagine (N)-linked protein glycosylation, which takes place in the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is important for protein folding, quality control and the intracellular trafficking of secretory and membrane proteins. It is known that, during N-glycosylation, considerable amounts of lipid-linked oligosaccharides (LLOs), the glycan donor substrates for N-glycosylation, are hydrolyzed to form free N-glycans (FNGs) by unidentified mechanisms. FNGs are also generated in the cytosol by the enzymatic deglycosylation of misfolded glycoproteins during ER-associated degradation. FNGs derived from LLOs and misfolded glycoproteins are eventually merged into one pool in the cytosol and the various glycan structures are processed to a near homogenous glycoform. This article summarizes the current state of our knowledge concerning the formation and catabolism of FNGs.

Abstract
Free oligosaccharides (fOS) are generated as the result of N-glycoproteins catabolism that occurs in two distinct principal pathways: the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded newly synthesized N-glycoproteins and the mature N-glycoproteins turnover pathway. The O-(2-acetamidO-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosylidene) amino-N-phenylcarbamate (PUGNAc) is a potent inhibitor of the O-GlcNAcase (OGA) catalysing the cleavage of β-O-linked 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (O-GlcNAc) from serine and threonine residues of post-translationaly O-GlcNAc modified proteins. In order to estimate the impact of O-GlcNAc modification on N-glycoproteins catabolism, fOS were analysed by mass spectrometry (MS). MS analysis revealed the appearance of an unusual population of fOS after PUGNAc treatment. The structures representing this population have been identified as containing non-reducing end GlcNAc residues resulting from incomplete lysosomal fOS degradation. Only observed after PUGNAc treatment, the NButGt, another OGA inhibitor, did not lead to the appearance of this population. These abnormal fOS structures have clearly been shown to accumulate in membrane fractions as the consequence of lysosomal β-hexosaminidases inhibition by PUGNAc. As lysosomal storage disorders (LSD) are characterized by the accumulation of storage material as fOS in lysosomes, our study evokes that the use of PUGNAc could mimic a LSD. This study clearly points out another off target effects of PUGNAc that need to be taken into account in the use of this drug.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, it is known that N-glycans play a pivotal role in quality control of carrier proteins. Although "free" forms of oligosaccharides (fOSs) are known to be accumulated in the cytosol, the precise mechanism of their formation, degradation and biological relevance remains poorly understood. It has been shown that, in budding yeast, almost all fOSs are formed from misfolded glycoproteins. Precise structural analysis of fOSs revealed that several yeast fOSs bear a yeast-specific modification by Golgi-resident α-1,6-mannosyltransferase, Och1. In this study, structural diversity of fOSs in och1Δ cells was analyzed. To our surprise, several fOSs in och1Δ cells have unusual α-1,3-linked mannose residues at their non-reducing termini. These mannose residues were not observed in wild-type cells, suggesting that the addition of these unique mannoses occurred as a compensation of Och1 defect. A significant increase in the amount of fOSs modified by Golgi-localized mannosyltransferases was also observed in och1Δ cells. Moreover, the amount of processed fOSs and intracellular α-mannosidase (Ams1) both increased in this mutant. Up-regulation of Ams1 activity was also apparent for cells treated with cell wall perturbation reagent. These results provide an insight into a possible link between catabolism of fOSs and cell wall stress.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, N-glycosylation has been recognized as one of the most common and functionally important co- or post-translational modifications of proteins. "Free" forms of N-glycans accumulate in the cytosol of mammalian cells, but the precise mechanism for their formation and degradation remains unknown. Here, we report a method for the isolation of yeast free oligosaccharides (fOSs) using endo-beta-1,6-glucanase digestion. fOSs were undetectable in cells lacking PNG1, coding the cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase gene, suggesting that almost all fOSs were formed from misfolded glycoproteins by Png1p. Structural studies revealed that the most abundant fOS was M8B, which is not recognized well by the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD)-related lectin, Yos9p. In addition, we provide evidence that some of the ERAD substrates reached the Golgi apparatus prior to retrotranslocation to the cytosol. N-Glycan structures on misfolded glycoproteins in cells lacking the cytosol/vacuole alpha-mannosidase, Ams1p, was still quite diverse, indicating that processing of N-glycans on misfolded glycoproteins was more complex than currently envisaged. Under ER stress, an increase in fOSs was observed, whereas levels of M7C, a key glycan structure recognized by Yos9p, were unchanged. Our method can thus provide valuable information on the molecular mechanism of glycoprotein ERAD in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Herein, I describe pyridylamination for versatile analysis of sugar chains. The reducing ends of the sugar chains are tagged with 2-aminopyridine and the resultant chemically stable fluorescent derivatives are used for structural/functional analysis. Pyridylamination is an effective "operating system" for increasing sensitivity and simplifying the analytical procedures including mass spectrometry and NMR. Excellent separation of isomers is achieved by reversed-phase HPLC. However, separation is further improved by two-dimensional HPLC, which involves a combination of reversed-phase HPLC and size-fractionation HPLC. Moreover, a two-dimensional HPLC map is also useful for structural analysis. I describe a simple procedure for preparing homogeneous pyridylamino sugar chains that is less laborious than existing techniques and can be used for functional analysis (e.g., sugar-protein interaction). This novel approach was applied and some of the results are described: i) a glucosyl-serine type sugar chain found in blood coagulation factors; ii) discovery of endo-beta-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.152) and a new type plant alpha1,2-L-fucosidase; and iii) novel substrate specificity of a cytosolic alpha-mannosidase. Moreover, using homogeneous sugar chains of a size similar to in vivo substrates we were able to analyze interactions between sugar chains and proteins such as enzymes and lectins in detail. Interestingly, our studies reveal that some enzymes recognize a wider region of the substrate than anticipated.

Abstract
It has been shown that free oligosaccharides derived from N-linked glycans accumulate in the cytosol of animal cells. Most of the glycans have only a single GlcNAc at their reducing termini (Gn1 glycans), whereas the original N-glycans retain N,N'-diacetylchitobiose at their reducing termini (Gn2 glycans). Under the conditions of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) mapping established for pyridylamine (PA)-labeled Gn2 N-glycans, Gn1 glycans are not well retained on reversed-phase HPLC, making simultaneous analysis of Gn1 and Gn2 glycans problematic. We introduced a dual gradient (i.e., pH and butanol gradient) for the separation of Gn1 and Gn2 glycans in a single reversed-phase HPLC. Determination of elution time for various standard Gn2 high-mannose-type glycans, as well as Gn1 glycans found in the cytosol of animal cells, showed that elution of Gn1 and Gn2 glycans could be separated. Sufficient separation for most of the structural isomers could be achieved for Gn1 and Gn2 glycans. This HPLC, therefore, is a powerful method for identification of the structures of PA-labeled glycans, especially Gn1-type glycans, isolated from the cytosol of animal cells.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that N-linked glycans play pivotal roles in protein folding and intra- and/or intercellular trafficking of N-glycosylated proteins. It has been shown that during the N-glycosylation of proteins, significant amounts of free oligosaccharides (free OSs) are generated in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by a mechanism which remains to be clarified. Free OSs are also formed in the cytosol by enzymatic deglycosylation of misfolded glycoproteins, which are subjected to destruction by a cellular system called "ER-associated degradation (ERAD)." While the precise functions of free OSs remain obscure, biochemical studies have revealed that a novel cellular process enables them to be catabolized in a specialized manner, that involves pumping free OSs in the lumen of the ER into the cytosol where further processing occurs. This process is followed by entry into the lysosomes. In this review we summarize current knowledge about the formation, processing and degradation of free OSs in eukaryotes and also discuss the potential biological significance of this pathway. Other evidence for the occurrence of free OSs in various cellular processes is also presented.

Abstract
A glycosyl hydrolase family 38 enzyme, neutral alpha-mannosidase, has been proposed to be involved in hydrolysis of cytosolic free oligosaccharides originating either from ER-misfolded glycoproteins or the N-glycosylation process. Although this enzyme has been isolated from the cytosol, it has also been linked to the ER by subcellular fractionations. We have studied the subcellular localization of neutral alpha-mannosidase by immunofluorescence microscopy and characterized the human recombinant enzyme with natural substrates to elucidate the biological function of this enzyme. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed neutral alpha-mannosidase to be absent from the ER, lysosomes, and autophagosomes, and being granularly distributed in the cytosol. In experiments with fluorescent recovery after photo bleaching, neutral alpha-mannosidase had slower than expected two-phased diffusion in the cytosol. This result together with the granular appearance in immunostaining suggests that portion of the neutral alpha-mannosidase pool is somehow complexed. The purified recombinant enzyme is a tetramer and has a neutral pH optimum for activity. It hydrolyzed Man(9)GlcNAc to Man(5)GlcNAc in the presence of Fe(2+), Co(2+), and Mn(2+), and uniquely to neutral alpha-mannosidases from other organisms, the human enzyme was more activated by Fe(2+) than Co(2+). Without activating cations the main reaction product was Man(8)GlcNAc, and Cu(2+) completely inhibited neutral alpha-mannosidase. Our findings from enzyme-substrate characterizations and subcellular localization studies support the suggested role for neutral alpha-mannosidase in hydrolysis of soluble cytosolic oligomannosides.

Abstract
Free oligosaccharides (FOSs) in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells are mainly generated during endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded glycoproteins. We analyzed FOS of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to elucidate its detailed degradation pathway. The major FOSs were high mannose-type ones bearing 3-9 Man residues. About 94% of the total FOSs had one GlcNAc at their reducing end (FOS-GN1), and the remaining 6% had two GlcNAc (FOS-GN2). A cytosolic endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase mutant (tm1208) accumulated FOS-GN2, indicating involvement of the enzyme in conversion of FOS-GN2 into FOS-GN1. The most abundant FOS in the wild type was Man(5)GlcNAc(1), the M5A' isomer (Manalpha1-3(Manalpha1-6)Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1-3)Manbeta1-4GlcNAc), which is different from the corresponding M5B' (Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-3(Manalpha1-6)Manbeta1-4GlcNAc) in mammals. Analyses of FOS in worms treated with Golgi alpha-mannosidase I inhibitors revealed decreases in Man(5)GlcNAc(1) and increases in Man(7)GlcNAc(1). These results suggested that Golgi alpha-mannosidase I-like enzyme is involved in the production of Man(5-6)-GlcNAc(1), which is unlike in mammals, in which cytosolic alpha-mannosidase is involved. Thus, we assumed that major FOSs in C. elegans were generated through Golgi trafficking. Analysis of FOSs from a Golgi alpha-mannosidase II mutant (tm1078) supported this idea, because GlcNAc(1)Man(5)GlcNAc(1), which is formed by the Golgi-resident GlcNAc-transferase I, was found as a FOS in the mutant. We concluded that significant amounts of misfolded glycoproteins in C. elegans are trafficked to the Golgi and are directly or indirectly retro-translocated into the cytosol to be degraded.

Abstract
The endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation of misfolded (glyco)proteins ensures that only functional, correctly folded proteins exit from the endoplasmic reticulum and that misfolded ones are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. During the degradation of misfolded glycoproteins, they are deglycosylated by the PNGase (peptide:N-glycanase). The free oligosaccharides released by PNGase are known to be further catabolized by a cytosolic alpha-mannosidase, although the gene encoding this enzyme has not been identified unequivocally. The findings in the present study demonstrate that an alpha-mannosidase, Man2C1, is involved in the processing of free oligosaccharides that are formed in the cytosol. When the human Man2C1 orthologue was expressed in HEK-293 cells, most of the enzyme was localized in the cytosol. Its activity was enhanced by Co2+, typical of other known cytosolic alpha-mannosidases so far characterized from animal cells. The down-regulation of Man2C1 activity by a small interfering RNA drastically changed the amount and structure of oligosaccharides accumulating in the cytosol, demonstrating that Man2C1 indeed is involved in free oligosaccharide processing in the cytosol. The oligosaccharide processing in the cytosol by PNGase, endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase may represent the common 'non-lysosomal' catabolic pathway for N-glycans in animal cells, although the molecular mechanism as well as the functional importance of such processes remains to be determined.

Abstract
It is thought that free oligosaccharides in the cytosol are an outcome of quality control of glycoproteins by endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Although considerable amounts of free oligosaccharides accumulate in the cytosol, where they presumably have some function, detailed analyses of their structures have not yet been carried out. We isolated 21 oligosaccharides from the cytosolic fraction of HepG2 cells and analyzed their structures by the two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) sugar-mapping method. Sixteen novel oligosaccharides were identified in the cytosol in this study. All had a single N-acetylglucosamine at their reducing-end cores and could be expressed as (Man)n (GlcNAc)1. No free oligosaccharide with N,N'-diacetylchitobiose was detected in the cytosolic fraction of HepG2 cells. This suggested that endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase was a key enzyme in the production of cytosolic free oligosaccharides. The 21 oligosaccharides were classified into three series--series 1: oligosaccharides processed from Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-6 (Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-3)Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-3) Manbeta1-4GlcNAc (M9A') and Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1-3) Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-3)Manbeta1-4GlcNAc (M8A') by digestion with cytosolic alpha-mannosidase; series 2: oligosaccharides processed with Golgi alpha-mannosidases in addition to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytosolic alpha-mannosidases; and series 3: glucosylated oligosaccharides produced from Glc1Man9GlcNAc1 by hydrolysis with cytosolic alpha-mannosidase. The presence of the series "2" oligosaccharides suggests that some of the misfolded glycoproteins had been processed in pre-cis-Golgi vesicles and/or the Golgi apparatus. When the cells were treated with swainsonine to inhibit cytosolic alpha-mannosidase, the amounts of M9A' and M8A' increased remarkably, suggesting that these oligosaccharides were translocated into the cytosol. Four oligosaccharides of series "2" also increased. In contrast, there were obvious reductions in Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-2Manalpha1-3)Manbeta1-4GlcNAc (M5B'), the end product from M9A' by digestion with cytosolic alpha-mannosidase, and Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1- 2Manalpha1-3)Manbeta1-4GlcNAc, derived from series "2" oligosaccharides by digestion with cytosolic alpha-mannosidase. Our data suggest that (1) some of the cytosolic oligosaccharides had been processed with Golgi alpha-mannosidases, (2) the major oligosaccharides translocated from the ER were M9A' and M8A', and (3) M5B' and Glc1M5B' were maintained at relatively high concentrations in the cytosol.

Abstract
Subcellular distribution of plant endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (endo-beta-GlcNAc-ase) and high-mannose type free N-glycans produced by the endoglycosidase has been analyzed using cotyledons of pumpkin seedlings as the model plant cells. Each organelle in the cotyledons was fractionated by ultracentrifugation with the sucrose density gradient system and the endo-beta-GlcNAc-ase activity in each fraction was assayed with fluorescence labeled N-glycans as substrates. The endoglycosidase activity was exclusively recovered in the soluble fraction (cytosol fraction) but not in other specific organellar fractions, suggesting that the endoglycosidase would reside predominantly in the cytosol. The quantitative analysis of high-mannose type free N-glycans occurring in each fraction showed that more than 70% of the free N-glycans was recovered from the soluble fraction, suggesting the endoglycosidase would work in the cytosol and the resulting free N-glycans would accumulate in the same fraction. The pumpkin endo-beta-GlcNAc-ase (endo-CM) partially purified from the cotyledons showed optimum activity around pH 6.5, supporting this enzyme would reside in the cytosol. Furthermore, the detailed analysis of substrate specificity of endo-CM using various high-mannose type N-glycans showed that the pumpkin enzyme, as well as other plant endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases, were highly active toward the high-mannose type glycans bearing the Man(alpha1)-2Man(alpha1)-3Man(beta1)-structural unit.

Abstract
The structures of unconjugated or free N-glycans in stems of soybean seedlings and dry seeds have been identified. The free N-glycans were extracted from the stems of seedlings or defatted dry seeds. After desalting by two kinds of ion-exchange chromatography and a gel filtration, the free N-glycans were coupled with 2-aminopyridine. The resulting fluorescence-labeled (PA-) N-glycans were purified by gel filtration, Con A affinity chromatography, reverse-phase HPLC, and size-fractionation HPLC. The structures of the PA-sugar chains purified were analyzed by the combination of two-dimensional sugar chain mapping, jack bean alpha-mannosidase digestion, alpha-1,2-mannosidase digestions, partial acetolysis, and ESI-MS/MS. The free N-glycan structures found showed that two categories of free N-glycans occur in the stems of soybean seedlings. One is a high-mannose type structure having one GlcNAc residue at the reducing end (Man 9 approximately 5 GlcNAc1, 93%), that would be derived by endo-GM (Kimura, Y. et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1381, 27-36 (1998)). The other small component is a xylose-containing type one having two GlcNAc residues at the reducing end (Man3Xyl1GlcNAc2, 7%), which would be derived by PNGase-GM (Kimura, Y. and Ohno, A., Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem., 62, 412-418 (1998)). The detailed structural analysis of free glycans showed that high-mannose type free N-glycans (Man 9 approximately 5 GlcNAc1) in the soybean seedlings have a common core structural unit; Manalpha1-6(Man1-3)Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1-3)Ma nbeta1-4GlcNAc. Comparing the amount of free N-glycans in the seedling stems and dry seeds, the amount in the stems of seedlings was much higher than that in the dry seeds; approximately 700 pmol per one stem, 8 pmol in one dry seed. This fact suggested that free N-glycans in soybean seedlings could be produced by two kinds of N-glycan releasing enzymes during germination or seedling-development.

Abstract
It appears increasingly evident that the oligomannoside type N-glycans play important roles in the fate of newly synthesized glycoproteins in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The variety of protein-bound oligomannoside isomers are involved in the quality control of glycoprotein, in their transport into the Golgi and probably as a degradation signal. A prerequisite of the degradation in the cytosol by the proteasome pathway is the release of the glycans as free oligomannosides. These oligomannosides are further processed in the cytosol into a peculiar isomer of Man5GlcNAc1 which enters into the lysosome to be further degraded into monosaccharides. In this review, we will illustrate how the different species of N-linked and free oligomannosides either are involved or are markers of the quality control and fate of newly synthesized glycoproteins.
