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
The glycolipid Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-pyrophosphate-dolichol serves as the precursor for asparagine (N)-linked protein glycosylation in mammals. The biosynthesis of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides (DLOs) is arrested in low-glucose environments via unknown mechanisms, resulting in abnormal N-glycosylation. Here, we show that under glucose deprivation, DLOs are prematurely degraded during the early stages of DLO biosynthesis by pyrophosphatase, leading to the release of singly phosphorylated oligosaccharides into the cytosol. We identified that the level of GDP-mannose (Man), which serves as a donor substrate for DLO biosynthesis, is substantially reduced under glucose deprivation. We provide evidence that the selective shutdown of the GDP-Man biosynthetic pathway is sufficient to induce the release of phosphorylated oligosaccharides. These results indicate that glucose-regulated metabolic changes in the GDP-Man biosynthetic pathway cause the biosynthetic arrest of DLOs and facilitate their premature degradation by pyrophosphatase. We propose that this degradation system may avoid abnormal N-glycosylation with premature oligosaccharides under conditions that impair efficient DLO biosynthesis.

Abstract
Background The anaerobe Clostridium difficile produces two major virulence factors toxin A and B that inactivate Rho proteins by glucosylation of a pivotal threonine residue. Purified toxins induce reorganization of the cytoskeleton and cell death in colonic cells. Whether all toxin effects on target cells depend on catalytic glucosyltransferase activity is unclear at present. Thus, we conducted a proteome approach to compare the protein profile of target cells treated either with wild type toxin A (rTcdA wt) or with a catalytically inactive mutant toxin A (mutant rTcdA). Relative protein quantification was feasible using isotope-coded protein labeling techniques (ICPL) and mass spectrometry (LC-MALDI). Results Altogether we found a significant differential expression of thirty proteins after treatment with rTcdA wt or mutant rTcdA. Mutant rTcdA caused up-regulation of seven proteins and sixteen proteins were responsive to rTcdA wt after 5 h. Long-term effect of rTcdA wt on protein expression was the down-regulation of eleven proteins. Up- or down-regulation of several proteins was verified by western blot analysis confirming the MS results. Conclusion Our results indicate incubation time-dependent effects of the clostridial glucosylating toxin A on colonic cells. The rTcdA wt impact more cellular functions than actin cytoskeleton reorganization and apoptosis. Furthermore, these data give insight into glucosyltransferase independent effects of clostridial glucosylating toxins on target cells after short incubation time. Additionally, our data reveal pro-inflammatory and proliferative effects of mutant rTcdA after short-term incubation.

Abstract
We report that N-linked oligosaccharide structures can be present on an asparagine residue not adhering to the consensus site motif NX(S/T), where X is not proline, described in the literature. We have observed oligosaccharides on a non-consensus asparaginyl residue in the C(H)1 constant domain of IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies. The initial findings were obtained from characterization of charge variant populations evident in a recombinant human antibody of the IgG2 subclass. HPLC-MS results indicated that cation-exchange chromatography acidic variant populations were enriched in antibody with a second glycosylation site, in addition to the well documented canonical glycosylation site located in the C(H)2 domain. Subsequent tryptic and chymotryptic peptide map data indicated that the second glycosylation site was associated with the amino acid sequence TVSWN(162)SGAL in the C(H)1 domain of the antibody. This highly atypical modification is present at levels of 0.5-2.0% on most of the recombinant antibodies that have been tested and has also been observed in IgG1 antibodies derived from human donors. Site-directed mutagenesis of the C(H)1 domain sequence in a recombinant-human IgG1 antibody resulted in an increase in non-consensus glycosylation to 3.15%, a greater than 4-fold increase over the level observed in the wild type, by changing the -1 and +1 amino acids relative to the asparagine residue at position 162. We believe that further understanding of the phenomenon of non-consensus glycosylation can be used to gain fundamental insights into the fidelity of the cellular glycosylation machinery.

Abstract
This work constitutes the second report from a continuing investigation of shrimp genes that may be involved in apoptosis associated death resulting from yellow head virus (YHV) infection. Here, we describe from the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon, a ribophorin I-like gene that is probably a subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase complex (OST), a key enzyme in N-linked glycosylation that occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum. The OST complex also contains DAD1 (defender against apoptotic death 1) that has been reported to control apoptosis and that we have previously reported from P. monodon. The full length ribophorin I of P. monodon comprised 2157 bp with the ORF of 1806 bp corresponding to 601 deduced amino acids and three putative N-linked glycosylation sites. Analysis revealed hydrophobic properties implying that it could be a membrane protein. Tissue distribution analysis using real-time RT-PCR with SYBR Green revealed that ribophorin I was endogenously expressed in all examined tissues of normal shrimp. However, unlike DAD1 that was down-regulated after YHV challenge, ribophorin I expression was up-regulated and remained high until the moribund stage.

Abstract
The dolichol-linked oligosaccharide Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-PP-Dol is the in vivo donor substrate synthesized by most eukaryotes for asparagine-linked glycosylation. However, many protist organisms assemble dolichol-linked oligosaccharides that lack glucose residues. We have compared donor substrate utilization by the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) from Trypanosoma cruzi, Entamoeba histolytica, Trichomonas vaginalis, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae using structurally homogeneous dolichol-linked oligosaccharides as well as a heterogeneous dolichol-linked oligosaccharide library. Our results demonstrate that the OST from diverse organisms utilizes the in vivo oligo saccharide donor in preference to certain larger and/or smaller oligosaccharide donors. Steady-state enzyme kinetic experiments reveal that the binding affinity of the tripeptide acceptor for the protist OST complex is influenced by the structure of the oligosaccharide donor. This rudimentary donor substrate selection mechanism has been refined in fungi and vertebrate organisms by the addition of a second, regulatory dolichol-linked oligosaccharide binding site, the presence of which correlates with acquisition of the SWP1/ribophorin II subunit of the OST complex.

Abstract
The enzyme complex oligosaccharyl transferase (OT) catalyzes N-glycosylation in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. The yeast OT complex is composed of nine subunits, all of which are transmembrane proteins. Several lines of evidence, including our previous split-ubiquitin studies, have suggested an oligomeric organization of the OT complex, but the exact oligomeric nature has been unclear. By FLAG epitope tagging the Ost4p subunit of the OT complex, we purified the OT enzyme complex by using the nondenaturing detergent digitonin and a one-step immunoaffinity technique. The digitonin-solubilized OT complex was catalytically active, and all nine subunits were present in the enzyme complex. The purified OT complex had an apparent mass of approximately 500 kDa, suggesting a dimeric configuration, which was confirmed by biochemical studies. EM showed homogenous individual particles and revealed a dimeric structure of the OT complexes that was consistent with our biochemical studies. A 3D structure of the dimeric OT complex at 25-A resolution was reconstructed from EM images. We suggest that the dimeric structure of OT might be required for effective association with the translocon dimer and for its allosteric regulation during cotranslational glycosylation.

Abstract
Asparagine-linked glycosylation (ALG) is one of the most common protein modification reactions in eukaryotic cells, as many proteins that are translocated across or integrated into the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) carry N-linked oligosaccharides. Although the primary focus of this review will be the structure and function of the eukaryotic oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), key findings provided by the analysis of the archaebacterial and eubacterial OST homologues will be reviewed, particularly those that provide insight into the recognition of donor and acceptor substrates. Selection of the fully assembled donor substrate will be considered in the context of the family of human diseases known as congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). The yeast and vertebrate OST are surprisingly complex hetero-oligomeric proteins consisting of seven or eight subunits (Ost1p, Ost2p, Ost3p/Ost6p, Ost4p, Ost5p, Stt3p, Wbp1p, and Swp1p in yeast; ribophorin I, DAD1, N33/IAP, OST4, STT3A/STT3B, Ost48, and ribophorin II in mammals). Recent findings from several laboratories have provided overwhelming evidence that the STT3 subunit is critical for catalytic activity. Here, we will consider the evolution and assembly of the eukaryotic OST in light of recent genomic evidence concerning the subunit composition of the enzyme in diverse eukaryotes.

Abstract
Oligosaccharyl transferase (OT) catalyzes the cotranslational N-glycosylation of nascent polypeptides in the endoplasmic reticulum in all eukaryotic systems. Due to the inherent difficulty in characterizing this membrane protein complex, the mode of enzymatic action has not been resolved. Here, we used a membrane protein two-hybrid approach, the split-ubiquitin system, to address two aspects of the enzyme complex in yeast: the topological features, as well as the in vivo interactions of all of the components. We investigated the N- and C-terminal orientation of these proteins and the presence or the absence of a cleavable signal sequence at their N termini. We found that Ost2p and Stt3p have only their N terminus located in the cytosol, whereas Ost3p and Swp1p have only their C terminus oriented in the cytosol. In the case of Ost5p and Ost6p, both their N and C termini are present in the cytosol. These findings also suggested that Ost2p, Stt3p, Ost5p, and Ost6p do not have a cleavable N-terminal signal sequence. The pairwise analysis of in vivo interactions among all of the OT subunits demonstrated that OT subunits display specific interactions with each other in a functional complex. By comparing this interaction pattern with that detected in vitro in a nonfunctional complex, we proposed that a distinct conformation rearrangement takes place when the enzyme complex changes from the nonfunctional state to the activated functional state. This finding is consistent with earlier work by others indicating that OT exhibits allosteric properties.

Abstract
Following initiation of translocation across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum via the translocon, polypeptide chains are N-glycosylated by the oligosaccharyl transferase (OT) enzyme complex. Translocation and N-glycosylation are concurrent events and would be expected to require juxtaposition of the translocon and the OT complex. To determine whether any of the subunits of the OT complex and translocon mediate interactions between the two complexes, we initiated a systematic study in budding yeast using the split-ubiquitin approach. Interestingly, the OT subunit Stt3p was found to interact only with Sec61p, whereas another OT subunit, Ost4p, was found to interact with all three components of the translocon, Sec61p, Sbh1p, and Sss1p. The OT subunit Wbp1p was found to interact very strongly with Sec61p and Sbh1p and weakly with Sss1p. Other OT subunits, Ost1p, Ost2p, and Swp1p were found to interact with Sec61p and either Sbh1p or Sss1p. Ost3p exhibited a weak interaction with Sec61p and Sbh1p, whereas Ost5p and Ost6p interacted very weakly with Sec61p and failed to interact with Sbh1p or Sss1p. We were able to confirm these split-ubiquitin findings by a chemical cross-linking technique. Based on our findings using these two techniques, we conclude that the association of these two complexes is stabilized via multiple protein-protein contacts. Based on extrapolation of the structural parameters of the crystal structure of the prokaryotic Sec complex to the eukaryotic complex, we propose a working model to understand the organization of the translocon-OT supercomplex.

Abstract
Ganglioside biosynthesis is strictly regulated by the activities of glycosyltransferases and is necessarily controlled at the levels of gene transcription and posttranslational modification. Cells can switch between expressing simple and complex gangliosides or between different series within these two groups during brain development. The sequential biosynthesis of gangliosides in parallel enzymatic pathways, however, requires fine-tuned subcellular sequestration and orchestration of glycosyltransferases. A popular model predicts that this regulation is achieved by the vectorial organization of ganglioside biosynthesis: sequential biosynthetic steps occur with the traffic of ganglioside intermediates through subsequent subcellular compartments. Here, we review current models for the subcellular distribution of glycosyltransferases and discuss results that suggest a critical role of N-glycosylation for the processing, transport, and complex formation of these enzymes. In this context, we attempt to illustrate the regulation of ganglioside biosynthesis as well as the biological significance of N-glycosylation as a posttranslational regulatory mechanism. We also review the results of analyses of the 5' regulatory sequences of several glycosyltransferases in ganglioside biosynthesis and provide insights into how their synthesis can be regulated at the level of transcription.

Abstract
The cDNA for human endo-alpha1,2-mannosidase was reconstructed using two independent EST-clones and its properties characterized. The 2837 bp cDNA construct contained a 1389 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding for 462 amino acids and an approximately 53.6 kDa protein, respectively. Hydrophobicity analysis of this amino acid sequence, as well as proteolytic degradation studies, indicate that the enzyme is a type II protein, anchored in the membrane via a 19 amino-acid long apolar sequence close to the N-terminus. Human endo-alpha1,2-mannosidase displays a high degree of sequence identity with the catalytic domain of the homologous rat liver endo-enzyme, but differs substantially in the N-terminal peptide region, which includes the transmembrane domain. No sequence similarity exists with other processing alpha-glycosidases. Based on sequence information provided by the 2837 bp construct, the cDNA consisting of the complete 1389 bp ORF was amplified by RT-PCR using human fibroblast RNA. Incubation of E. coli lysates with this cDNA, previously modified for boost translation by codon optimization, resulted in the synthesis of an approximately 52 kDa protein which degraded [(14)C]Glc(3)-Man(9)-GlcNAc(2) efficiently, indicating that the catalytic domain of the enzyme folds correctly under cell-free conditions. Transfection of the endo-alpha1,2-mannosidase wild-type cDNA into COS 1 cells resulted in a moderate (approximately 1.5-fold) but reproducible increase of activity compared with control cells, whereas >18-fold increase in activity was measured after expression of a chimera containing green-fluorescent-protein (GFP) attached to the N-terminus of the endo-alpha1,2-mannosidase polypeptide. This, together with the observation that GFP-endo-alpha1,2-mannosidase is expressed as a Golgi-resident type II protein, points to enzyme-specific parameters directing folding and membrane anchoring, as well as Golgi-targeting, not being affected by fusion of GFP to the endo-alpha1,2-mannosidase N-terminus.

Abstract
Oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) is an integral membrane protein that catalyzes N-linked glycosylation of nascent proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Although the yeast OST is an octamer assembled from nonhomologous subunits (Ost1p, Ost2p, Ost3p/Ost6p, Ost4p, Ost5p, Wbp1p, Swp1p, and Stt3p), the composition of the vertebrate OST was less well defined. The roles of specific OST subunits remained enigmatic. Here we show that genomes of most multicellular eukaryotes encode two homologs of Stt3p and mammals express two homologs of Ost3p. The Stt3p and Ost3p homologs are assembled together with the previously described mammalian OST subunits (ribophorins I and II, OST48, and DAD1) into complexes that differ significantly in enzymatic activity. Tissue and cell type-specific differences in expression of the Stt3p homologs suggest that the enzymatic properties of oligosaccharyltransferase are regulated in eukaryotes to respond to alterations in glycoprotein flux through the secretory pathway and may contribute to tissue-specific glycan heterogeneity.

Abstract
In the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, oligosaccharyl transferase (OT) is composed of nine different transmembrane proteins. Using a glycosylatable peptide containing a photoprobe, we previously found that only one essential subunit, Ost1p, was specifically labeled by the photoprobe and recently have shown that it does not contain the recognition domain for the glycosylatable sequence Asn-Xaa-Thr/Ser. In this study we utilized additional glycosylatable peptides containing two photoreactive groups and found that these were linked to Stt3p and Ost3p. Stt3p is the most conserved subunit in the OT complex, and therefore 21 block mutants in the lumenal region were prepared. Of the 14 lethal mutant proteins only two, as well as one temperature-sensitive mutant protein, were incorporated into the OT complex. However, using microsomes prepared from these three strains, the labeling of Ost1p was markedly decreased upon photoactivation with the Asn-Bpa-Thr photoprobe. Based on the block mutants single amino acid mutations were prepared and analyzed. From all of these results, we conclude that the sequence from residues 516 to 520, WWDYG in Stt3p, plays a central role in glycosylatable peptide recognition and/or the catalytic glycosylation process.

Abstract
The oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) preferentially utilizes the fully assembled dolichol-linked oligosaccharide Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol as the donor for N-linked glycosylation of asparagine residues in N-X-T/S consensus sites in newly synthesized proteins. A wide variety of assembly intermediates (Glc(0-2)Man(0-9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol) can serve as the donor substrate for N-linked glycosylation of peptide acceptor substrates in vitro or of nascent glycoproteins in mutant cells that are defective in donor substrate assembly. A kinetic mechanism that can account for the selection of the fully assembled donor substrate from a complex mixture of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides (OS-PP-Dol) has not been elucidated. Here, the steady-state kinetic properties of the OST were reinvestigated using a proteoliposome assay system consisting of the purified yeast enzyme, near-homogeneous preparations of a dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol or Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol) and an (125)I-labeled tripeptide as the acceptor substrate. The K(m) of the OST for the acceptor tripeptide was only slightly enhanced when Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol was the donor substrate relative to when Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol was the donor substrate. Evaluation of the kinetic data for both donor substrates showed deviations from typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Sigmoidal saturation curves, Lineweaver-Burk plots with upward curvature, and apparent Hill coefficients of about 1.4 suggested a substrate activation mechanism involving distinct regulatory (activator) and catalytic binding sites for OS-PP-Dol. Results of competition experiments using either oligosaccharide donor as an alternative substrate were also consistent with this hypothesis. We propose that binding of either donor substrate to the activator site substantially enhances Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol occupancy of the enzyme catalytic site via allosteric activation.

Abstract
Pig liver oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) is a heterooligomeric protein complex responsible for the co-translational transfer of GlcNAc2-Man9-Glc3 from Dol-PP onto specific asparagine residues in the nascent polypeptide. OST48, one of the catalytic subunits in this complex, exerts a typical type I membrane topology, containing a large luminal domain, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a short cytosolic peptide tail. Because OST48 is found within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) when overexpressed in COS-1 cells, we carried out experiments to identify structural signals potentially capable of directing ER-targeting, using OST48 mutants and hybrid proteins consisting of individual OST48 domains and Man9-mannosidase. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that OST48 mutants in which the C-terminal lysine-3 or lysine-5, but not lysine-7, had been replaced by leucine (OST48AK) could be detected on the cell surface. This indicates that these two lysine residues are sufficient for conferring ER-residency on OST48. The double-lysine motif operates only when exposed cytosolically, where it acts as a relocation signal rather than causing retention. OST48AK-3, when co-expressed in COS-1 cells together with myc-tagged ribophorin 1, was quantitatively retained in the ER. By contrast, co-expression in the presence of ribophorin I resulted in no reduction of cell surface fluorescence for the OMOdeltaK-5 chimera containing the cytosolic and transmembrane domain of OST48 attached to the C-terminus of the Man9-mannosidase luminal domain. Thus ER-localisation of OST48 is probably brought about by complex formation with ribophorin I and this most likely involves the luminal domains of both proteins. Consequently, the double-lysine motif in the cytosolic domain of OST48 is unlikely to have a primary function except being involved in re-capture of molecules which have escaped from the ER.

Abstract
A general route for protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells has been proposed and applied to monoclonal antibody (MAb) synthesis. It takes into account transcription of the gene, binding of ribosomes to mRNA, and polypeptide elongation including binding to SRP (signal recognition particles) and SRP-receptor, competing translocation, folding and glycosylation, assembly of the heavy and light chains in a tetrameric protein and Golgi processing and secretion. A comprehensive model was built on the basis of the proposed pathway. The model takes into account the mechanism of each step. Metabolic control analysis (MCA) principles were applied to the general pathway using the proposed model, and control coefficients were calculated. The results show a shared flux control (of both pathway flux and flux ratio at the branch) among different steps, i.e., transcription, folding, glycosylation, translocation and building blocks synthesis. The steps sharing the control depend on the concentration of building blocks, pathway flux and levels of OST (oligosacharyl transferase), BiP (heavy chain binding protein) and PDI (protein disulfide isomerase). Model predictions compare well with experimental data for MAb synthesis, explaining the control structure of the route and the heterogeneity of the product and also addressing future targets for improvement of the production rate of MAbs.

Abstract
Both five- and six-membered iminocyclitols have proven to be useful transition-state analogue inhibitors of glycosidases. They also mimic the transition-state sugar moiety of the nucleoside phosphate sugar in glycosyltransferase-catalyzed reactions. Described here is the development of a general strategy toward the parallel synthesis of a five-membered iminocyclitol linked to a hydroxamic acid group designed to mimic the transition state of GDP-fucose complexed with Mn(II) in fucosyltransferase reactions. The iminocyclitol 8 containing a protected hydroxylamine unit was prepared from D-mannitol. The hydroxamic acid moiety was introduced via the reaction of 8 with various acid chlorides. The strategy is generally applicable to the construction of libraries for identification of glycosyltransferase inhibitors.

Abstract
The alpha- and beta-subunits of the hetero-dimeric glucosidase II complex from human liver were cloned and expressed in COS-1 cells. The 4106 bp full-length cDNA for the alpha-subunit contained a 2835 bp ORF encoding a 107 kDa polypeptide. The 2095 bp cDNA for the beta-subunit encodes a approximately 60 kDa protein in a continuous 1605 bp ORF. The alpha- and beta-subunits each contain two potential Asn-Xaa-Thr/Ser acceptor sites, with only one site in the alpha-subunit (Asn97) being glycosylated. Additional lambda-clones were isolated for each subunit containing in-frame insertions/deletions within the coding region, indicating alternative splicing. Analysis of different human tissues revealed approximately 4.4 kb and approximately 2.4 kb transcripts for alpha- and beta-subunit, respectively, consistent with their full-length cDNA. Coexpression of the alpha- and beta-subunits in COS-1 cells resulted in >4-fold increase of glucosidase II activity. An inactive protein was obtained, however, after transfection with the alpha-subunit alone, showing that both subunits are essential for expression of active glucosidase II. The observation that the enzyme, previously purified from pig liver and lacking the beta-subunit, was catalytically active indicates that the beta-subunit is involved in alpha-subunit maturation rather than being required for enzymatic activity once the alpha-subunit has acquired its mature form. The alpha-subunit is expressed in COS-1 cells as an ER-located protein, whether inactive or part of a catalytically active complex. This suggests that ER-localization of the alpha-subunit, when associated with the dimeric enzyme complex, is mediated by the C-terminal HDEL-signal in the beta-subunit, whereas the apparently incompletely folded form of the inactive alpha-subunit could be retained in the ER by the putative "glycoprotein-specific quality control machinery.

Abstract
The attachment of N-linked oligosaccharide chains to proteins is an important cotranslational process. These chains can, in some cases, serve to stabilize the protein, while in other cases they function as recognition elements. A key enzyme in the N-glycosylation process is oligosaccharyltransferase (OT). In yeast this enzyme, which is found in the endoplasmic reticulum, consists of nine different transmembrane protein subunits. Our general aim is to learn more about the functions of the multiple subunits of yeast OT and their mode of interaction with each other. Using a combination of biochemical and genetic techniques the subunit Ost1p has been shown to recognize Asn-X-Ser/Thr glycosylation sites. The principle tool used in the identification process was a benzophenone-based glycosylation site peptide that was shown to be crosslinked to Ost1p. Our current objective is to identify the domain in the primary structure that is involved in recognition of the glycosylation site sequence. By use of bifunctional crosslinkers, the possible interaction of Ost1p with other subunits of OT will be studied. This work and other studies on the OT subunits are concisely summarized.

Abstract
Proteins involved in protein translocation across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum assemble into different oligomeric complexes depending on their state of function. To analyse such membrane protein complexes we fractionated proteins of mammalian rough microsomes and analysed them using blue native PAGE and immunoblotting. Among the proteins characterised are the Sec61p complex, the oligosaccharyl transferase (OST) complex, the translocon-associated protein (TRAP) complex, the TRAM and RAMP4 proteins, the signal recognition particle (SRP) and the SRP receptor (SR). Interestingly, the RAMP4 protein, SR and OST complex display more than one oligomeric form.

Abstract
The key step of N-glycosylation of proteins, an essential and highly conserved protein modification, is catalyzed by the hetero-oligomeric protein complex oligosaccharyltransferase (OST). So far, eight genes have been identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are involved in this process. Enzymatically active OST preparations from yeast were shown to be composed of four (Ost1p, Wbp1p, Ost3p, Swp1p) or six subunits (Ost2p and Ost5p in addition to the four listed). Genetic studies have disclosed Stt3p and Ost4p as additional proteins needed for N-glycosylation. In this study we report the identification and functional characterization of a new OST gene, designated OST6, that has homology to OST3 and in particular a strikingly similar membrane topology. Neither gene is essential for growth of yeast. Disruption of OST6 or OST3 causes only a minor defect in N-glycosylation, but an Deltaost3Deltaost6 double mutant displays a synthetic phenotype, leading to a severe underglycosylation of soluble and membrane-bound glycoproteins in vivo and to a reduced OST activity in vitro. Moreover, each of the two genes has also a specific function, since agents affecting cell wall biogenesis reveal different growth phenotypes in the respective null mutants. By blue native electrophoresis and immunodetection, a approximately 240-kDa complex was identified consisting of Ost1p, Stt3p, Wbp1p, Ost3p, Ost6p, Swp1p, Ost2p, and Ost5p, indicating that probably all so far identified OST proteins are constituents of the OST complex. It is also shown that disruption of OST3 and OST6 leads to a defect in the assembly of the complex. Hence, the function of these genes seems to be essential for recruiting a fully active complex necessary for efficient N-glycosylation.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae STT3 (ScSTT3) gene encodes a protein which is involved in protein glycosylation via the regulation of oligosaccharyltransferase activity. We have cloned and isolated the Schizosaccharomyces pombe STT3 homologous gene (Spstt3+). The Spstt3+ gene encodes a protein consisting of 749 amino acid residues which has significant homology with ScStt3p and the mouse Stt3p-homologue Itm1p. Disruption of the Spstt3+ gene shows that this gene is essential for growth. Like Itm1, Spstt3+ partially suppressed the temperature sensitivity of the stt3-1 mutation of S. cerevisiae, indicating that Spstt3+ is a functional and structural homologue of the ScSTT3 gene.

Abstract
N-Glycosylation of eukaryotic secretory and membrane-bound proteins is an essential and highly conserved protein modification. The key step of this pathway is the en bloc transfer of the high mannose core oligosaccharide Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 from the lipid carrier dolichyl phosphate to selected Asn-X-Ser/Thr sequences of nascent polypeptide chains during their translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme oligosaccharyltransferase (OST). Recent biochemical and molecular genetic studies in yeast have yielded novel insights into this enzyme with multiple tasks. Nine proteins have been shown to be OST components. These are assembled into a heterooligomeric membrane-bound complex and are required for optimal expression of OST activity in vivo in wild type cells. In accord with the evolutionary conservation of core N-glycosylation, there are significant homologies between the protein sequences of OST subunits from yeast and higher eukaryotes, and OST complexes from different sources show a similar organisation as well.

Abstract
A CHO mutant MI8-5 was found to synthesize Man9-GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol rather than Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol as the oligosaccharide-lipid intermediate in N-glycosylation of proteins. MI8-5 cells were incubated with labeled mevalonate, and the prenol was found to be dolichol. The mannose-labeled oligosaccharide released from oligosaccharide-lipid of MI8-5 cells was analyzed by HPLC and alpha-mannosidase treatment, and the data were consistent with a structure of Man9GlcNAc2. In addition, MI8-5 cells did not incorporate radioactivity into oligosaccharide-lipid during an incubation with tritiated galactose, again consistent with MI8-5 cells synthesizing an unglucosylated oligosaccharide-lipid. MI8-5 cells had parental levels of glucosylphosphoryldolichol synthase activity. However, in two different assays, MI8-5 cells lacked dolichol-P-Glc:Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol glucosyltransferase activity. MI8-5 cells were found to synthesize glucosylated oligosaccharide after they were transfected with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ALG 6, the gene for dolichol-P-Glc:Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol glucosyltransferase. MI8-5 cells were found to incorporate mannose into protein 2-fold slower than parental cells and to approximately a 2-fold lesser extent.

Abstract
We have investigated the enzyme mediating N-glycosylation in "resting" and activated lymphocytes. Normal peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were found to have low activity for glycosylation of a synthetic glycan acceptor peptide. N-glycosylation activity increased 10-fold after mitogen activation of PBLs. N-glycosylation activity remained elevated during long-term culture and expansion of human lymphocytes when growth was supported by interleukin-2. To our knowledge, this is the first biochemical evidence for induction of endoplasmic reticulum functions during T-cell activation. The enzyme mediating N-glycosylation in lymphocytes was localized predominantly but not entirely to a microsomal organelle by subcellular fractionation. After solubilization and 85-fold purification from salt-washed microsomes, the enzyme preparation contained four predominant proteins. N-terminal sequence analysis identified the proteins as ribophorin I, ribophorin II (doublet), and a 50-kDa homologue of Wbp1, a yeast protein essential for N-glycosylation.

Abstract
beta-1,6-Glucan plays a key structural role in the yeast cell wall. Of the genes involved in its biosynthesis, the activity of Cwh41p is known, i.e., the glucosidase I enzyme of protein N-chain glucose processing. We therefore examined the effects of N-chain glucosylation and processing mutants on beta-1,6-glucan biosynthesis and show that incomplete N-chain glucose processing results in a loss of beta-1,6-glucan, demonstrating a relationship between N-chain glucosylation/processing and beta-1,6-glucan biosynthesis. To explore the involvement of other N-chain-dependent events with beta-1,6-glucan synthesis, we investigated the Saccharomyces cerevisiae KRE5 and CNE1 genes, which encode homologs of the "quality control" components UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase and calnexin, respectively. We show that the essential activity of Kre5p is separate from its possible role as a UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase. We also observe a approximately 30% decrease in beta-1,6-glucan upon disruption of the CNE1 gene, a phenotype that is additive with other beta-1,6-glucan synthetic mutants. Analysis of the cell wall anchorage of the mannoprotein alpha-agglutinin suggests the existence of two beta-1,6-glucan biosynthetic pathways, one N-chain dependent, the other involving protein glycosylphosphatidylinositol modification.

Protein N-glycosylation is a metabolic process that has been highly conserved in evolution. In all eukaryotes, N-glycosylation is obligatory for viability. It functions by modifying appropriate asparagine residues of proteins with oligosaccharide structures, thus influencing their properties and bioactivities. N-glycoprotein biosynthesis involves a multitude of enzymes, glycosyltransferases, and glycosidases, encoded by distinct genes. The majority of these enzymes are transmembrane proteins that function in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in an ordered and well-orchestrated manner. The complexity of N-glycosylation is augmented by the fact that different asparagine residues within the same polypeptide may be modified with different oligosaccharide structures, and various proteins are distinguished from one another by the characteristics of their carbohydrate moieties. Furthermore, biological consequences of derivatization of proteins with N-glycans range from subtle to significant. In the past, all these features of N-glycosylation have posed a formidable challenge to an elucidation of the physiological role for this modification. Recent advances in molecular genetics, combined with the availability of diverse in vivo experimental systems ranging from yeast to transgenic mice, have expedited the identification, isolation, and characterization of N-glycosylation genes. As a result, rather unexpected information regarding relationships between N-glycosylation and other cellular functions--including secretion, cytoskeletal organization, proliferation, and apoptosis--has emerged. Concurrently, increased understanding of molecular details of N-glycosylation has facilitated the alignment between N-glycosylation deficiencies and human diseases, and has highlighted the possibility of using N-glycan expression on cells as potential determinants of disease and its progression. Recent studies suggest correlations between N-glycosylation capacities of cells and drug sensitivities, as well as susceptibility to infection. Therefore, knowledge of the regulatory features of N-glycosylation may prove useful in the design of novel therapeutics. While facing the demanding task of defining properties, functions, and regulation of the numerous, as yet uncharacterized, N-glycosylation genes, glycobiologists of the 21st century offer exciting possibilities for new approaches to disease diagnosis, prevention, and cure.

Abstract
The oligosaccharyltransferase has been purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as an hetero-oligomeric complex composed of four or six subunits. Here, the in vivo subunit composition and stoichiometry of the oligosaccharyltransferase were investigated by attaching an epitope coding sequence to a previously characterized subunit gene, OST3. Five (Ost1p, Wbp1p, Swp1p, Ost2p, and Ost5p) of the seven polypeptides that were coimmunoprecipitated with the epitope-tagged Ost3p were identical to those obtained by the conventional purification procedure. Two additional coprecipitating polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of 60 and 3.6 kDa were identified as the 78-kDa Stt3 protein and the 36-residue Ost4 protein, respectively. Stt3p and Ost4p were previously identified in screens for gene products involved in N-linked glycosylation. Quantification of the in vivo radiolabeled subunits and the radioiodinated purified enzyme shows that the yeast oligosaccharyltransferase is composed of equimolar amounts of eight subunits. Exposure of the immunoprecipitated oligosaccharyltransferase to mild protein denaturants yielded a subcomplex comprised of Stt3p, Ost3p, and Ost4p. These experiments, taken together with genetic and biochemical evidence for subunit interactions, suggest that the enzyme is composed of the following three subcomplexes: (a) Stt3p-Ost4p-Ost3p, (b) Swp1p-Wbp1p-Ost2p, and (c) Ost1p-Ost5p.

Abstract
The mammalian oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) is an oligomeric complex composed of three membrane proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum: ribophorin I (RI), ribophorin II (RII), and OST48. In addition, sequence homology between the Ost2 subunit of the yeast OST complex and Dad1 (defender against apoptotic death) suggests that Dad1 may represent a fourth subunit of the mammalian OST complex. In attempts to elucidate the structural organization of this complex, we have studied the interactions among its subunits. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have shown that the luminal domains of RI and RII (RIL and RIIL, respectively) interacted with the luminal domain of OST48 (OST48L), but no direct interaction was observed between RIL and RIIL. These results were confirmed by biochemical assays. Deletion analyses using the yeast two-hybrid system showed that subdomain of RIL or RIIL adjacent to the respective transmembrane domains interacted with OST48L. Of the three equal length subdomains of OST48L, the one at the N terminus and the one next to the transmembrane domain interacted with RIL. None of these three subdomains of OST48L interacted with RIIL. The yeast two-hybrid assay also revealed affinity between the cytoplasmically located N-terminal region of Dad1 and the short cytoplasmic tail of OST48, thus placing Dad1 firmly into the OST complex. In addition, we found a homotypic interaction between the cytoplasmic domains of RI, which may play a role in the formation of the oligomeric array formed by components of the translocation machinery.

Abstract
The peptide cyclo(hex-Amb(1)-Cys(2))-Thr(3)-Val(4)-Thr(5)-Nph(6)-NH2 was previously shown to be a slow, tight-binding inhibitor (Ki = 37 nM) of the yeast oligosaccharyl transferase (OT) [Hendrickson et al. (1996) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 118, 7636-7637]. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a carbohydrate moiety to an asparagine residue in the consensus sequence Asn-Xaa-Thr/Ser. Herein we present a study of the contribution of the residues in positions 1, 3, 4, and 5 to OT binding. Replacement of the threonine (residue 3) by valine or (S)-2-aminobutyric acid dramatically reduced the potency of the inhibitor while, surprisingly, the incorporation of an additional methylene into the side chain of residue 1 [(S)-2,3-diaminobutyric acid changed to ornithine] had very little effect. Variants with acidic, basic, hydrophilic/polar, and hydrophobic side chains in positions 4 and 5 were also evaluated for both yeast and porcine liver OT inhibition. This aspect of the study reveals that basic (lysine) and acidic (glutamic acid) residues are detrimental to the binding, whereas hydrophobic (valine) and polar/hydrophilic (threonine) residues are both well tolerated. The kinetic behavior of substrate analogs [cyclo(hex-Asn(1)-Cys(2))-Thr(3)-Xaa(4)-Yaa(5)-Nph-NH2] corresponding to inhibitors of weak, medium, and strong potency was also examined in order to provide insight into the nature of these inhibitors.

Abstract
DAD1, the defender against apoptotic cell death, was initially identified as a negative regulator of programmed cell death in the BHK21-derived tsBN7 cell line. Of interest, the 12.5-kDa DAD1 protein is 40% identical in sequence to Ost2p, the 16-kDa subunit of the yeast oligosaccharyltransferase (OST). Although the latter observation suggests that DAD1 may be a mammalian OST subunit, biochemical evidence to support this hypothesis has not been reported. Previously, we showed that canine OST activity is associated with an oligomeric complex of ribophorin I, ribophorin II, and OST48. Here, we demonstrate that DAD1 is a tightly associated subunit of the OST both in the intact membrane and in the purified enzyme. Sedimentation velocity analyses of detergent-solubilized WI38 cells and canine rough microsomes show that DAD1 cosediments precisely with OST activity and with the ribophorins and OST48. Radioiodination of the purified OST reveals that DAD1 is present in roughly equimolar amounts relative to the other subunits. DAD1 can be crosslinked to OST48 in intact microsomes with dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate). Crosslinked ribophorin II-OST48 heterodimers, DAD1-ribophorin II-OST48 heterotrimers and DAD1-ribophorin I-ribophorin II-OST48 heterotetramers also were detected. The demonstration that DAD1 is a subunit of the OST suggests that induction of a cell death pathway upon loss of DAD1 in the tsBN7 cell line reflects the essential nature of N-linked glycosylation in eukaryotes.

Abstract
Oligosaccharyl transferase catalyzes the glycosylation of selected asparagine residues of nascent polypeptide chains as they are translocated into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. To date, this enzyme has been purified from a number of eukaryotic organisms. Purification of transferase activity has yielded polypeptide complexes of three to six subunits depending on the source organism. Here we present the purification of an affinity-tagged version of the enzyme complex from a membrane protein fraction of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A yeast strain was created in which the essential 64-kDa glycoprotein Nlt1p subunit of the oligosaccharyl transferase was modified by the addition of a 22-residue carboxy-terminal affinity tag; the tag included both an 8-residue FLAG epitope and a 6-residue histidine motif. Facile purification of the oligosaccharyl transferase was achieved using affinity chromatography media specific for each segment of the tag. The enzyme was purified as a heteromeric complex of five subunits in agreement with previously reported characterizations of the yeast transferase. Yeast strains bearing affinity-tagged enzyme subunits allow the rapid characterization of native and mutant transferase complexes.

Abstract
Glycoproteins generally exist as populations of glycosylated variants (glycoforms) of a single polypeptide. Although the same glycosylation machinery is available to all proteins that enter the secretory pathway in a given cell, most glycoproteins emerge with characteristic glycosylation patterns and heterogeneous populations of glycans at each glycosylation site. The factors that control the composition of the glycoform populations and the role that heterogeneity plays in the function of glycoproteins are important questions for glycobiology. A full understanding of the implications of glycosylation for the structure and function of a protein can only be reached when a glycoprotein is viewed as a single entity. Individual glycoproteins, by virtue of their unique structures, can selectively control their own glycosylation by modulating interactions with the glycosylating enzymes in the cell. Examples include protein-specific glycosylation within the immunoglobulins and immunoglobulin superfamily and site-specific processing in ribonuclease, Thy-1, IgG, tissue plasminogen activator, and influenza A hemagglutinin. General roles for the range of sugars on glycoproteins such as the leukocyte antigens include orientating the molecules on the cell surface. A major role for specific sugars is in recognition by lectins, including chaperones involved in protein folding. In addition, the recognition of identical motifs in different glycans allows a heterogeneous population of glycoforms to participate in specific biological interactions.

Abstract
Human alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of the L-fucose moiety from guanosine diphosphate-beta-L-fucose (GDP-Fuc) to acceptor sugars to form biologically important fucoglycoconjugates, including sialyl Lewis x (SLex). Evidence for a general base mechanism is supported by a pH-rate profile that revealed a catalytic residue with a pKa of 4.1. The characterized solvent kinetic isotope effect (Dv = 2.9, Dv/k = 2.1) in a proton inventory study indicates that only one-proton transfer is involved in the catalytic step leading to the formation of the transition state. Evidence for Mn2+ as an electrophilic catalyst was supported by the observation that the nonenzymatic transfer of L-fucose from GDP-Fuc to the hydroxyl group of water in the presence of 10 mM MnCl2 at 20 degrees C was accelerated from K(obs)= 3.5 x 10(-6) to 3.8 x 10(-5) min-1. Using the GDP-Fuc hydrolysis as the nonenzymatic rate, the enzymatic proficiency of FucT V, (Kcat/Ki,GDP-fuc. K(m),1.acNAc)/K(non), was estimated to be 1.2 x 10(10) M-1 with a transition-state affinity of 8.6 x 10(-11) M. The Km for Mn2+ was determined to be 6.1 mM, and alternative divalent metal cofactors were identified as Ca2+, Co2+, and Mg2+. Detailed kinetic characterization of the acceptor sugar specificity indicated that incorporation of hydrophobic functionality [e.g. -O-(CH2)5CO2CH3] to the reducing end of the acceptor sugar substantially decreased the K(m),acceptor by over 100-fold. The role of the nucleotide was investigated by studying the inhibition of nucleotides, including the guanosine series. The inhibitory potency trend (GTP approximately GDP > GMP > > guanosine) is consistent with bidentate chelation of Mn2+ by GDP-Fuc. The role of charge and distance in the synergistic inhibitory effect by the combination of GDP, an aza sugar, and the acceptor sugar was probed. A mechanism for fucosyl transfer incorporating these findings is proposed and discussed.
