Mannose inhibits Arabidopsis germination via a hexokinase-mediated step. (2/2363)

Low concentrations of the glucose (Glc) analog mannose (Man) inhibit germination of Arabidopsis seeds. Man is phosphorylated by hexokinase (HXK), but the absence of germination was not due to ATP or phosphate depletion. The addition of metabolizable sugars reversed the Man-mediated inhibition of germination. Carbohydrate-mediated regulation of gene expression involving a HXK-mediated pathway is known to be activated by Glc, Man, and other monosaccharides. Therefore, we investigated whether Man blocks germination through this system. By testing other Glc analogs, we found that 2-deoxyglucose, which, like Man, is phosphorylated by HXK, also blocked germination; no inhibition was observed with 6-deoxyglucose or 3-O-methylglucose, which are not substrates for HXK. Since these latter two sugars are taken up at a rate similar to that of Man, uptake is unlikely to be involved in the inhibition of germination. Furthermore, we show that mannoheptulose, a specific HXK inhibitor, restores germination of seeds grown in the presence of Man. We conclude that HXK is involved in the Man-mediated repression of germination of Arabidopsis seeds, possibly via energy depletion.  (+info)

Glycosylation of asparagine-28 of recombinant staphylokinase with high-mannose-type oligosaccharides results in a protein with highly attenuated plasminogen activator activity. (3/2363)

The properties of recombinant staphylokinase (SakSTAR) expressed in Pichia pastoris cells have been determined. The single consensus N-linked oligosaccharide linkage site in SakSTAR (at Asn28 of the mature protein) was occupied in approximately 50% of the expressed protein with high-mannose-type oligosaccharides. The majority of these glycans ranged in polymerization state from Man8GlcNAc2 to Man14GlcNAc2, with the predominant species being Man10GlcNAc2 and Man11GlcNAc2. Glycosylated SakSTAR (SakSTARg) did not differ from its aglycosyl form in its aggregation state in solution, its thermal denaturation properties, its ability to form a complex with human plasmin (hPm), the amidolytic properties of the respective SakSTAR-hPm complexes, or its ability to liberate the amino-terminal decapeptide required for formation of a functional SakSTAR-hPm plasminogen activator complex. However, this latter complex with SakSTARg showed a greatly reduced ability to activate human plasminogen (hPg) as compared with the same complex with the aglycosyl form of SakSTAR. We conclude that glycosylation at Asn28 does not affect the structural properties of SakSTAR or its ability to participate in the formation of an active enzymatic complex with hPm, but it is detrimental to the ability of the SakSTAR-hPm complex to serve as a hPg activator. This is likely due to restricted access of hPg to the active site of the SakSTARg-hPm complex.  (+info)

Genetic evidence for the role of GDP-mannose in plant ascorbic acid (vitamin C) biosynthesis. (4/2363)

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid; AsA) acts as a potent antioxidant and cellular reductant in plants and animals. AsA has long been known to have many critical physiological roles in plants, yet its biosynthesis is only currently being defined. A pathway for AsA biosynthesis that features GDP-mannose and L-galactose has recently been proposed for plants. We have isolated a collection of AsA-deficient mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana that are valuable tools for testing of an AsA biosynthetic pathway. The best-characterized of these mutants (vtc1) contains approximately 25% of wild-type AsA and is defective in AsA biosynthesis. By using a combination of biochemical, molecular, and genetic techniques, we have demonstrated that the VTC1 locus encodes a GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase (mannose-1-P guanyltransferase). This enzyme provides GDP-mannose, which is used for cell wall carbohydrate biosynthesis and protein glycosylation as well as for AsA biosynthesis. In addition to genetically defining the first locus involved in AsA biosynthesis, this work highlights the power of using traditional mutagenesis techniques coupled with the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative to rapidly clone physiologically important genes.  (+info)

Alteration of mannose transport in fibroblasts from type I carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome patients. (5/2363)

The aim of the present study was to explore how mannose enters fibroblasts derived from a panel of children suffering from different subtypes of type I carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome: seven carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtype Ia (phosphomannomutase deficiency), two carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtype Ib (phosphomannose isomerase deficiency) and two carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtype Ix (not identified deficiency). We showed that a specific mannose transport system exists in all the cells tested but has different characteristics with respect to carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtypes. Subtype Ia fibroblasts presented a mannose uptake equivalent or higher (maximum 1.6-fold) than control cells with a D-[2-3H]-mannose incorporation in nascent N-glycoproteins decreased up to 7-fold. Compared to control cells, the mannose uptake was greatly stimulated in subtype Ib (4.0-fold), due to lower Kuptake and higher Vmax values. Subtype Ib cells showed an increased incorporation of D-[2-3H]-mannose into nascent N-glycoproteins. Subtype Ix fibroblasts presented an intermediary status with mannose uptake equivalent to the control but with an increased incorporation of D-[2-3H]-mannose in nascent N-glycoproteins. All together, our results demonstrate quantitative and/or qualitative modifications in mannose transport of all carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome fibroblasts in comparison to control cells, with a relative homogeneity within a considered subtype of carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome. These results are consistent with the possible use of mannose as a therapeutic agent in carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome Ib and Ix.  (+info)

Sugars and sugar derivatives which inhibit the short-circuit current of the everted small intestine of the rat. (6/2363)

1. The short-circuit current of everted rat intestine supported on a perforated cannula proved to be stable for up to 3 hr and has been used to study competition between transportable and non-transportable sugars. 2. 4,6-O-Ethylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranose (ethylidene glucose) and 4,6-O-benzylidene-e alpha-D-glucopyranos (benzylinene glucose), two nontransportable inhibitors of the hexose transfer system in human erythrocytes, were found to reduce the short-circuit current generated by transportable sugars such as galactose or 3-O-methyl glucose. 3. These compounds were also found to reduce the basal short-circuit current established by the everted intestine in a sugar-free Krebs solution. Both types of inhibition approached saturation at the higher concentrations used. 4. Similar inhibitory properties were shown by mannose, a non-actively accumulated monosaccharide, and by the beta-disaccharides lactose and cellobiose. 5. It is suggested that this common pattern of behaviour is due to the ability of these compounds to react with the sites for active hexose transfer but without translocation by the system. The significance of the inhibition of the basal short-circuit current is briefly discussed in this context.  (+info)

Transmembrane folding of the human erythrocyte anion exchanger (AE1, Band 3) determined by scanning and insertional N-glycosylation mutagenesis. (7/2363)

The human erythrocyte anion exchanger (AE1, Band 3) contains up to 14 transmembrane segments, with a single site of N-glycosylation at Asn642 in extracellular (EC) loop 4. Scanning and insertional N-glycosylation mutagenesis were used to determine the folding pattern of AE1 in the membrane. Full-length AE1, when expressed in transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 or COS-7 cells, retained a high-mannose oligosaccharide structure. Scanning N-glycosylation mutagenesis of EC loop 4 showed that N-glycosylation acceptor sites (Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr) spaced 12 residues from the ends of adjacent transmembrane segments could be N-glycosylated. An acceptor site introduced at position 743 in intracellular (IC) loop 5 that could be N-glycosylated in a cell-free translation system was not N-glycosylated in transfected cells. Mutations designed to disrupt the folding of this loop enhanced the level of N-glycosylation at Asn743 in vitro. The results suggest that this loop might be transiently exposed to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum during biosynthesis but normally folds rapidly, precluding N-glycosylation. EC loop 4 insertions into positions 428, 484, 754 and 854 in EC loops 1, 2, 6 and 7 respectively were efficiently N-glycosylated, showing that these regions were extracellular. EC loop 4 insertions into positions 731 or 785 were poorly N-glycosylated, which was inconsistent with an extracellular disposition for these regions of AE1. Insertion of EC loop 4 into positions 599 and 820 in IC loops 3 and 6 respectively were not N-glycosylated in cells, which was consistent with a cytosolic disposition for these loops. Inhibitor-affinity chromatography with 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (SITS)-Affi-Gel was used to assess whether the AE1 mutants were in a native state. Mutants with insertions at positions 428, 484, 599, 731 and 785 showed impaired inhibitor binding, whereas insertions at positions 754, 820 and 854 retained binding. The results indicate that the folding of the C-terminal region of AE1 is more complex than originally proposed and that this region of the transporter might have a dynamic aspect.  (+info)

Recombinant human interleukin-12 is the second example of a C-mannosylated protein. (8/2363)

The beta-chain of human interleukin 12 (IL-12) contains at position 319-322, the sequence Trp-x-x-Trp. In human RNase 2 this is the recognition motif for a new, recently discovered posttranslational modification, i.e., the C-glycosidic attachment of a mannosyl residue to the side chain of tryptophan. Analysis of C-terminal peptides of recombinant IL-12 (rHuIL-12) by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy revealed that Trp-319beta is (partially) C-mannosylated. This finding was extended by in vitro mannosylation experiments, using a synthetic peptide derived from the same region of the protein as an acceptor. Furthermore, human B-lymphoblastoid cells, which secrete IL-12, were found to contain an enzyme that carries out the C-mannosylation reaction. This shows that nonrecombinant IL-12 is potentially C-mannosylated as well. This is only the second report on a C-mannosylated protein. However, the occurrence of the C-mannosyltransferase activity in a variety of cells and tissues, and the presence of the recognition motif in many proteins indicate that more C-mannosylated proteins may be found.  (+info)

CDGs are caused by mutations in genes that code for enzymes involved in glycosylation, a process that adds sugars to proteins and lipids to form glycoproteins and glycolipids. These molecules play important roles in cell signaling, protein folding, and the immune response. Without proper glycosylation, these molecules cannot function properly, leading to a wide range of symptoms and complications.

Symptoms of CDGs can vary depending on the specific disorder and the organs affected. Common symptoms include developmental delays, intellectual disability, seizures, poor muscle tone, and liver problems. Some children with CDGs may also experience failure to thrive, diarrhea, and vomiting.

There is currently no cure for CDGs, but various treatments are available to manage the symptoms and prevent complications. These may include enzyme replacement therapy, nutritional supplements, and medications to control seizures and other symptoms. In some cases, a bone marrow transplant may be necessary to replace the defective cells with healthy ones.

The diagnosis of CDG is based on a combination of clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and genetic analysis. Newborn screening is increasingly being used to identify CDGs in infants, allowing for early intervention and treatment.

Overall, congenital disorders of glycosylation are rare and complex conditions that require specialized care and management. With advances in medical technology and research, there is hope for improved treatments and outcomes for individuals with CDGs.

The term "mucolipidoses" was coined by the American pediatrician and medical geneticist Dr. Victor A. McKusick in the 1960s to describe this group of diseases. The term is derived from the Greek words "muco-," meaning mucus, and "-lipido-," meaning fat, and "-osis," meaning condition or disease.

There are several types of mucolipidoses, including:

1. Mucolipidosis type I (MLI): This is the most common form of the disorder and is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC).
2. Mucolipidosis type II (MLII): This form of the disorder is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme sulfatases, which are necessary for the breakdown of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs).
3. Mucolipidosis type III (MLIII): This form of the disorder is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme acetyl-CoA:beta-glucoside ceramide beta-glucosidase (CERBGL), which is necessary for the breakdown of glycosphingolipids.
4. Mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV): This form of the disorder is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GUCB), which is necessary for the breakdown of glucocerebroside, a type of glycosphingolipid.

Mucolipidoses are usually diagnosed by measuring the activity of the enzymes involved in glycosphingolipid metabolism in white blood cells or fibroblasts, and by molecular genetic analysis to identify mutations in the genes that code for these enzymes. Treatment is typically focused on managing the symptoms and may include physical therapy, speech therapy, and other supportive care measures. Bone marrow transplantation has been tried in some cases as a potential treatment for mucolipidosis, but the outcome has been variable.

Prognosis: The prognosis for mucolipidoses is generally poor, with most individuals with the disorder dying before the age of 10 years due to severe neurological and other complications. However, with appropriate management and supportive care, some individuals with milder forms of the disorder may survive into adulthood.

Epidemiology: Mucolipidoses are rare disorders, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 200,000 births. They affect both males and females equally, and there is no known geographic or ethnic predilection.

Clinical features: The clinical features of mucolipidoses vary depending on the specific type of disorder and the severity of the mutation. Common features include:

* Delayed development and intellectual disability
* Seizures
* Vision loss or blindness
* Hearing loss or deafness
* Poor muscle tone and coordination
* Increased risk of infections
* Coarsening of facial features
* Enlarged liver and spleen
* Abnormalities of the heart, including ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect

Diagnosis: Diagnosis of mucolipidoses is based on a combination of clinical features, laboratory tests, and genetic analysis. Laboratory tests may include measurement of enzyme activity in white blood cells, urine testing, and molecular genetic analysis.

Treatment and management: There is no cure for mucolipidoses, but treatment and management strategies can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. These may include:

* Physical therapy to improve muscle tone and coordination
* Speech therapy to improve communication skills
* Occupational therapy to improve daily living skills
* Anticonvulsant medications to control seizures
* Supportive care to manage infections and other complications
* Genetic counseling to discuss the risk of inheritance and options for family planning.

Prognosis: The prognosis for mucolipidoses varies depending on the specific type and severity of the condition. In general, the prognosis is poor for children with more severe forms of the disorder, while those with milder forms may have a better outlook. With appropriate management and supportive care, some individuals with mucolipidoses can lead relatively normal lives, while others may require ongoing medical care and assistance throughout their lives.

Examples of inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism include:

1. Phosphofructokinase (PFK) deficiency: This is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down glucose-6-phosphate, a type of sugar. Symptoms can include seizures, developmental delays, and metabolic acidosis.
2. Galactosemia: This is a group of genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to process galactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Untreated, galactosemia can lead to serious health problems, including liver disease, kidney damage, and cognitive impairment.
3. Glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII): This is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to store and use glycogen, a complex carbohydrate found in the liver and muscles. Symptoms can include low blood sugar, fatigue, and muscle weakness.
4. Pompe disease: This is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down glycogen. Symptoms can include muscle weakness, breathing problems, and heart problems.
5. Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS): These are a group of genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to break down sugar molecules. Symptoms can include joint stiffness, developmental delays, and heart problems.

Inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism can be diagnosed through blood tests, urine tests, and other diagnostic procedures. Treatment depends on the specific disorder and may involve a combination of dietary changes, medication, and other therapies.
