Abstract
The crystal structure of human factor VIIa/soluble tissue factor (FVIIa/sTF) in complex with a highly selective peptide-mimetic FVIIa inhibitor which shows 1670-fold selectivity against thrombin inhibition has been solved at 2.6 A resolution. The inhibitor is bound to FVIIa/sTF at the S1, S2 and S3 sites and at the additional S1 subsite. Two charged groups, the amidino group in P2 and the carboxylate group in P4, form ionic interactions with Asp60 and Lys192 of FVIIa, respectively. Structural comparisons between factor VIIa and thrombin show that thrombin has oppositely charged residues, Lys60F and Glu192, in the S2 site and the S1 subsites, respectively. These data suggest that the utilization of the differences of charge distribution in the S2 site and the S1 subsites between FVIIa and thrombin is critical for achieving high selectivity against thrombin inhibition. These results will provide valuable information for the structure-based drug design of specific inhibitors for FVIIa/TF.

Abstract
Selective factor VIIa-tissue factor complex (FVIIa/TF) inhibition is seen as a promising target for developing new anticoagulant drugs. A novel peptide mimetic factor VIIa inhibitor, ethylsulfonamide-d-biphenylalanine-Gln-p-aminobenzamidine, shows 100-fold selectivity against thrombin in spite of its large P3 moiety, unlike previously reported FVIIa/TF selective inhibitors. X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals that the large P3 moiety, d-biphenylalanine, and the small P4 moiety, ethylsulfonamide, make novel interactions with the 170-loop and Lys192 of FVIIa/TF, respectively, accompanying ligand-induced conformational changes of the 170-loop, Gln217, and Lys192. Structural comparisons of FVIIa with thrombin and amino acid sequence comparisons among coagulation serine proteases suggest that these interactions play an important role in achieving selective inhibition for FVIIa/TF.

Abstract
Deficiency of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in mice results in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) from impaired surfactant catabolism by alveolar macrophages (AMs). Recently, we have shown that neutralizing anti-GM-CSF autoantibodies develop specifically in patients with idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (iPAP). Analogous to murine PAP models, it is plausible that the autoantibodies reduce GM-CSF activity, resulting in AM dysfunction and surfactant accumulation. To examine this hypothesis, we estimated the neutralizing activity of the autoantibodies in the lungs of patients and characterized their biologic properties. GM-CSF bioactivity was completely abrogated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients with iPAP but not in healthy subjects. Autoantibodies were present in the alveoli in high concentrations and colocalized with GM-CSF. They recognized human GM-CSF with high avidity (K(AV) = 20.0 +/- 7.5 pM) and high specificity, reacting with its superstructure and neutralizing GM-CSF activity to a level 4000 to 58 000 times the levels of GM-CSF normally present in the lung. Although target epitopes varied among patients, GM-CSF amino acids 78 to 94 were consistently recognized. Thus, autoantibodies bind GM-CSF with high specificity and high affinity, exist abundantly in the lung, and effectively block GM-CSF binding to its receptor, inhibiting AM differentiation and function. Our data strengthen the evidence associating anti-GM-CSF autoantibodies with the pathogenesis of this disease.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been characterized by high expression of three types of disialogangliosides: two based on lacto-series type 1 structure (disialosyl Lc(4), GalNAc disialosyl Lc(4)), the other based on globo-series structure (disialosyl globopentaosylceramide; disialosyl Gb5). The present study established a mAb, 5F3, directed to disialosyl Gb5. 5F3 was established after immunization with RCC cell line ACHN. The major disialoganglioside antigen isolated from ACHN cells, showing specific reactivity with 5F3, was characterized unequivocally as disialosyl Gb5 (V(3)NeuAcIV(6)NeuAcGb5) by identification of the core structure as globopentaosylceramide (Gb5) after enzymatic and acid hydrolysis, and by 2-dimensional (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. 5F3 does not react with monosialosyl Gb5 (V(3)NeuAcGb5), Gb5, or any lacto-series structures. 5F3 strongly stained 19 of 41 cases of primary RCC tissue. It reacted with proximal tubules (but not distal tubules) of kidney, microglial cells of cerebrum and cerebellum, goblet cells of stomach and intestine, smooth muscle of various organs. It did not react with parenchymatous cells of various organs, except for kidney epithelia and prostate stroma. Immunostaining of RCC tissue by mAb 5F3, in combination with staining by other antibodies directed to globo-series and lacto-series structures, has prognostic significance in defining metastatic potential of RCC.

Abstract
Golgi alpha-mannosidase II is an enzyme that processes the intermediate oligosaccharide Gn(1)M(5)Gn(2) to Gn(1)M(3)Gn(2) during biosynthesis of N-glycans. Previously, we isolated a cDNA encoding a protein homologous to alpha-mannosidase II and designated it alpha-mannosidase IIx. Here, we show by immunocytochemistry that alpha-mannosidase IIx resides in the Golgi in HeLa cells. When coexpressed with alpha-mannosidase II, alpha-mannosidase IIx colocalizes with alpha-mannosidase II in COS cells. A protein A fusion of the catalytic domain of alpha-mannosidase IIx hydrolyzes a synthetic substrate, 4-umbelliferyl-alpha-D-mannoside, and this activity is inhibited by swainsonine. [(3)H]glucosamine-labeled Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing alpha-mannosidase IIx show a reduction of M(6)Gn(2) and an accumulation of M(4)Gn(2). Structural analysis identified M(4)Gn(2) to be Man alpha 1-->6(Man alpha 1-->2Man alpha 1-->3)Man beta 1-->4GlcNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc. The results suggest that alpha-mannosidase IIx hydrolyzes two peripheral Man alpha 1-->6 and Man alpha 1-->3 residues from [(Man alpha 1-->6)(Man alpha 1-->3)Man alpha 1-->6](Man alpha 1-->2Man alpha 1-->3)Man beta 1-->4GlcNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc, during N-glycan processing.

Abstract
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an uncommon X-linked recessive disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema and immunodeficiency. The biochemical defect of this disorder primarily affects cells derived from bone marrow. To understand better the molecular mechanisms underlying this disease and to evaluate the possibility of correcting the genetic defects in hematopoietic cells, a Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV)- based retroviral vector carrying a functional Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) cDNA driven by an SV40 promoter (LNS-WASp) was constructed. A packaging cell line containing this vector produced a stable level of WAS protein and maintained a high titer of viral output. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) from WAS patients, which lack expression of the WAS protein, were transduced by the LNS-WASp retroviral vector and showed expression of WASp by Western blot. Analysis of the O-glycan pattern on cell surface glycoproteins from WAS patients' B-LCL showed an altered glycosylation pattern, due to increased activity of beta-1, 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C2GnT). Transduction by the retroviral vector carrying the functional WASp cDNA partially restored the abnormal glycosylation pattern, and was accompanied by a decreasing C2GnT activity. These findings imply a functional linkage between the WAS protein and the expression of the glycosyltransferase involved in the O-glycosylation, and also suggest a potential gene therapy via transferring a functional WASp cDNA into hematopoietic cells for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Gene Therapy (2000) 7, 314-320.

Abstract
Alpha-mannosidase-II (alphaM-II) catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of complex asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharides (N-glycans). Genetic deficiency of alphaM-II should abolish complex N-glycan production as reportedly does inhibition of alphaM-II by swainsonine. We find that mice lacking a functional alphaM-II gene develop a dyserythropoietic anemia concurrent with loss of erythrocyte complex N-glycans. Unexpectedly, nonerythroid cell types continued to produce complex N-glycans by an alternate pathway comprising a distinct alpha-mannosidase. These studies reveal cell-type-specific variations in N-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis and an essential role for alphaM-II in the formation of erythroid complex N-glycans. alphaM-II deficiency elicits a phenotype in mice that correlates with human congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II.

Abstract
Various partially or fully desialylated human erythropoietins were obtained by neuraminidase digestion of the hormone, without non-specific proteolysis and degradation of carbohydrates. Asialoerythropoietin showed a specific activity of 220-IU/mg protein in vivo, although that of the intact erythropoietin was 2.2 x 10(5) IU/mg. A linear relationship was found between the logarithm of the specific activity in vivo and the number of sialic acids. The asialoerythropoietin showed a four-times-higher specific activity in vitro compared with intact erythropoietin using mouse bone marrow cells. It also showed an approximately six-times-higher specific activity in a colony-forming assay for the erythroid colony-forming unit and the erythroid burst-forming unit. Partially or fully de-N-glycosylated erythropoietin derivatives also showed lower in vivo activity but higher in vitro activity than the intact erythropoietin, dependent on the number of sialic acids. To clarify the reason for the enhanced biological activity of asialoerythropoietin in vitro, the binding of intact 125I-erythropoietin or 125I-asialoerythropoietin to cells containing specific receptors for the hormone was analyzed. 125I-asialoerythropoietin bound to spleen cells from anemic mice approximately five times faster than did intact 125I-erythropoietin. The amount of 125I-asialoerythropoietin internalized by target cells, measured in the absence of NaN3, was four times higher than that of intact erythropoietin. These results demonstrate that asialoerythropoietin binds to its receptor faster than the intact form. This may be the main reason for the increased activity of asialoerythropoietin in vitro.
