These glycans are not produced by addition of individual sugars directly on an Asn residue side chain of a protein, but rather as lipid-linked precursors that only after their assembly are transferred to nascent proteins. Once attached to protein, these glycans are modified in a variety of different ways. The structures of mature protein N-linked glycans vary enormously among eukaryotic species and even among cells of the same species. This is in stark contrast to the highly conserved structure of the preassembled lipid-linked precursor Glc 3 Man 9 GlcNAc 2 oligosaccharide (LLO), which, with few exceptions, is shared by all eukaryotes (Fig. 14.1). The conserved structure of the LLO is a reflection of the evolutionary conservation of the 12 different glycosyltransferases that catalyze its production. LLO synthesis begins on the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum and is completed in the lumen (Fig. 14.2). Two N-acetyl-glucosamines (GlcNAc) and five mannoses (man) are covalently attached to dolichol pyrophosphate (PP-Dol) on the cytosolic face of the ER. After flipping across the membrane, seven sugars (four man and three glucoses (glc)) are attached in the lumen and then transferred to nascent proteins by oligosaccharyltransferase (Fig. 14.2).

This figure depicts the glycosidic linkage and sugars of the Glc 3 Man 9 GlcNAc 2 tetradecasaccharide core covalently attached to the side chain of an asparagine in the N-X-S/T consensus sequence for N-linked glycosylation α2 α3 α3 α2 α2 α2 α2 α3 α3 α6 α6 β4 β4 Glucose Mannose N-X-S/T N-acetylglucosamine 27 glycosyltransferases that catalyze its production. LLO synthesis begins 28 on the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum and is completed 29 in the lumen (Fig. 14.2). Two N-acetyl-glucosamines (GlcNAc) and five 30 mannoses (man) are covalently attached to dolichol pyrophosphate (PP-Dol) 31 on the cytosolic face of the ER. After flipping across the membrane, 32 seven sugars (four man and three glucoses (glc)) are attached in the lumen 33 and then transferred to nascent proteins by oligosaccharyltransferase 34 (Fig. 14.2). 35 The Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11 mannosyltransferases, which together catalyze 36 the first five man additions on the ER cytoplasmic face, are the focus of 37 this chapter. In the past decade since the last Handbook of Glycosyl- 38 transferases and Related Genes was released in 2002, there has been significant 39 progress in our understanding of how these mannosyltransferases function. 40 Notably, as is true for the vast majority of cellular proteins, we now know 41 that in vivo these mannosyltransferases function as part of a larger mannosyl- 42 transferase protein complex rather than as individual polypeptides 43 (Gao et al. 2004). Furthermore, the Alg2 and Alg11 enzymes each catalyze

Shown is a schematic depiction of the sequential assembly of the 14 sugars on dolichol pyrophosphate by the ER mannosyltransferases. Seven sugars are added on the cytoplasmic face and then another seven in the lumen. The first GlcNAc is added by Alg7, in which GlcNAc-1-P from UDP-GlcNAc is added to dolichol phosphate (P-Dol) to generate GlcNAc-PP-Dol. GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc is then added by the Alg13/Alg14 hetero-oligomeric GlcNAc transferase to generate GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol. The next five mannoses are added sequentially using GDP-man by the Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11 mannosyltransferases, which are the focus of this chapter. Alg1 adds the first b1,4-linked man, and as described in the text, Alg2 and Alg11 each catalyze two sequential reactions. Alg2 adds the second and third a1,6- and a1,3-linked mannoses, while Alg11 adds the fourth and fifth a1,2-linked mannoses, generating Man 5 Glc 2 -PP-Dol. This intermediate flips into the lumen, where it is further extended by four mannose and three glucose residues from dolichol-linked sugars cytoplasmic face of the ER. Oligosaccharyltransferase transfers this core oligosaccharide from dolichol to nascent polypeptides 44 two reactions of LLO biosynthesis, rather than a single transfer reaction 45 (O Reilly et al. 2006; Kampf et al. 2009; Absmanner et al. 2010). Thus, we 46 now know the identity of all the glycosyltransferases for each and every step of 47 yeast LLO biosynthesis. This knowledge has had direct applicability to human 48 glycobiology and disease. 49 Databanks 50 The Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11 mannosyltransferases are highly conserved among all 51 eukaryotes.

Date:13/8/13 Time:17:42:58 Page Number: 5 14 The Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11 Mannosyltransferases of the Endoplasmic Reticulum 5 8 Name and History 9 Much of what we know about the early steps of N-linked glycosylation in the ER 10 comes from extensive genetic and biochemical analyses of this process in the 11 budding yeast, S. cerevisiae. Although there are some differences in the structure 12 and processing of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide among different species, overall, 13 the entire process is highly conserved. The insights from yeast studies have been 14 directly applicable to other systems, especially humans where mutations in this 15 process manifest as a family of diseases, collectively known as congenital defects in 16 glycosylation (CDG). The gene name asparagine-linked glycosylation (ALG) was 17 first coined by Huffaker and Robbins to describe a set of yeast mutants with 18 temperature-sensitive defects in glycosylation (Huffaker and Robbins 1982). To 19 isolate these mutants, they used a 3 H-mannose suicide selection scheme, whereby 20 mutagenized cultures incubated with 3 H-mannose were frozen at 80 C for about 21 a month. The rationale behind this scheme was that wild-type yeast whose walls are 22 very rich in mannosylated glycoproteins incorporates large amounts of H 3 -man into 23 their walls and would therefore be unable to withstand long-term tritium-induced 24 radiation damage. In contrast, glycosylation mutants that incorporate less mannose 25 into their glycoproteins were predicted to survive. These predictions were borne out 26 and led to identification of a number of different alg mutants, including alg1 and 27 alg2 (Couto et al. 1984; Jackson et al. 1993). Additional alg mutants (through to 28 alg14) with specific defects in LLO biosynthesis have been isolated using different 29 strategies since then and were named in the order of their discovery, rather than the 30 order of the reaction catalyzed (see Fig. 14.2). The alg11 mutant was identified 31 based on its resistance to sodium vanadate, a drug that enriches for glycosylation 32 mutants (Cipollo et al. 2001). Tables in the Databanks provide links to databases 33 that provide further information about the ALG1, ALG2, and ALG11 mannosyl- 34 transferase genes, proteins, and alternative names in the literature for each enzyme. 35 Enzyme Activity 36 The Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11 mannosyltransferases are ER membrane proteins with 37 catalytic domains that face the cytosol and that use GDP-man as the sugar donor for 38 mannosylation. Alg1 is a b1,4 mannosyltransferase that adds the first mannose onto 39 GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol using GDP-mannose to produce Man 1 GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol 40 (Fig. 14.2). 41 Alg2 carries out the next two mannosylations, adding both a1,3- and a1,6-linked 42 mannose to Man 1 GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol (O Reilly et al. 2006; Kampf et al. 2009; 43 Absmanner et al. 2010) (Fig. 14.2). This leads to the first branched trimannosyl 44 chitobiose intermediate Man 3 GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol. This bifunctionality distinguishes 45 Alg2 as a glycosyltransferase with both a1,3- and a1,6-mannosyltransferase 46 activity. Biochemical analysis of extracts derived from both yeast and human 47 alg2 mutants suggests that the preferred order of addition proceeds by the addition 48 of an a1,3-linked mannose followed by addition of the a1,6-linked mannose

Date:13/8/13 Time:17:42:59 Page Number: 6 6 N. Dean 49 (Thiel et al. 2003). However, microsomal extracts from wild-type human cells are 50 able to elongate Man(a1,6)Man-GlcNAc 2 -PP-dolichol acceptor to Man 5 -GlcNAc 2-51 PP-dolichol (Thiel et al. 2003), implying there is not an absolute requirement for the 52 a1,3- mannose linkage prior to the a1,6-mannosylation. Further experiments are 53 required to understand what regulates the acceptor substrate specificity of this 54 unusual enzyme. 55 Alg11 carries out the next two mannosylations, sequentially adding the fourth 56 and fifth a1,2-linked mannoses on the a1,3 arm of the branched intermediate 57 (Cipollo et al. 2001; O Reilly et al. 2006; Absmanner et al. 2010). This produces 58 the Man 5 GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol intermediate, the precursor for the putative flippase 59 that catalyzes the transbilayer translocation of Man 5 GlcNAc 2 -PP-dol from the 60 cytoplasm to the ER lumen, where it undergoes further elongation and then transfer 61 to the nascent protein (Fig. 14.2). 62 Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11 have been purified as functional transferases in vitro, 63 from endogenous microsomal membrane fractions (primarily yeast or mammalian 64 cells) or as recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli (Couto et al. 1984; O Reilly 65 et al. 2006). Incubation of detergent extracts from microsomal membranes with 66 [ 14 C]GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol and unlabeled GDP-Man leads to the production of 67 Man 5 GlcNAc 2 -PP-Dol. Synthetic water-soluble phosphorylated analogues of 68 dolichol or GlcNAc2-PP-Dol (e.g., citronellol-p/dol 10 or GlcNAc-PP- citronellol) 69 can also be extended to Man 5 GlcNAc 2 -PP-Cit by membrane proteins isolated from 70 the CHO Lec15 mutant that lacks the Man-P-Dol synthase (Rush and Waechter 71 2005). Lipid-linked oligosaccharide products of these enzymatic reactions are 72 commonly analyzed by descending chromatography, HPLC, or matrix-assisted 73 laser desorption/ionization tandem time of flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF). Protein- 74 linked N-glycans are commonly analyzed via molecular weight shift assays of 75 reporter glycoproteins, such as carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) in yeast, or serum 76 transferrin in humans. The hypoglycosylation of these reporters results in 77 a characteristic electrophoretic pattern due to decreased glycan site occupancy 78 (see below). As an alternative to analyzing individual reporters, N-linked glycans 79 attached to bulk proteins are analyzed by preparing whole cell lysates from normal 80 or LLO mutant cells and incubating the lysates with glycosidases, such as peptide 81 N-glycanase (PNGase) that specifically cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc of 82 the N-linked glycan and asparagine. The released glycans can be purified and 83 analyzed as described above or by fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophore- 84 sis (FACE). 85 Normal Function/Biological Aspects 86 Synthesis of the LLO is sequential, so a block anywhere along the pathway results 87 in an accumulation of truncated oligosaccharide. In yeast, mutations that interfere 88 with the early LLO biosynthetic steps on the cytoplasmic face of the ER lead to very 89 severe growth phenotypes. In contrast, mutations that interfere with the later 90 luminal steps have less severe phenotypes, despite the fact that these mutations

Date:13/8/13 Time:17:42:59 Page Number: 7 14 The Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11 Mannosyltransferases of the Endoplasmic Reticulum 7 91 lead to the production of glycoproteins that are decorated with fewer glycans. The 92 reduced occupancy of glycosylation sites in LLO mutants occurs because oligosac- 93 charyltransferase preferentially recognizes and transfers only fully assembled LLO. 94 The sequential, stepwise order of sugar additions leading to core oligosaccharide 95 assembly is a consequence of several factors. First, these reactions are catalyzed by 96 enzymes whose catalytic domains have evolved different ER membrane topologies. 97 Enzymes catalyzing the cytosolic reactions have their catalytic domains facing the 98 cytosol, while those catalyzing the luminal compartment have their catalytic 99 domains facing the lumen. These topologies are coincident with the biosynthetic 100 location of sugar donors; enzymes catalyzing the reactions on the cytosolic face of 101 the ER use nucleotide sugar donors, while enzymes catalyzing the luminal reactions 102 use dolichol-linked sugar donors. In addition to these topological constraints, the 103 order of reactions is dictated by the substrate specificity of each enzyme, where the 104 product of the preceding reaction is the substrate for the next. 105 Finally, an additional factor that may regulate the activity of these related 106 mannosyltransferases in vivo is their physical interaction with one another in larger 107 multi-protein complexes. Biochemical analyses have identified two distinct ER 108 mannosyltransferase complexes. Both of them contain two or more copies of 109 Alg1 and are distinguished from each other by the presence of Alg2 or Alg11 110 (Gao et al. 2004). Support for the idea that formation of these complexes is 111 important for in vivo function comes from genetic data; over expression of cata- 112 lytically inactive alg1 alleles producing Alg1 proteins that maintain the ability to 113 both homodimerize and interact with Alg2 and Alg11 displays dominant-negative 114 phenotypes. It is unknown how the interaction of Alg2 and Alg11 with Alg1 115 modifies their activity. One explanation is that the interaction of these related 116 mannosyltransferases that catalyze sequential reactions limits the requirement for 117 substrate diffusion. Alg7 (aka DPAGT1), Alg13, and Alg14, which catalyze addi- 118 tion of the first and second GlcNAcs of the LLO, also form a hetero-oligomeric 119 GlcNAc transferase. This finding lends support to the idea that physical interactions 120 between related glycosyltransferases may be a common mechanism to optimize or 121 modulate GTase activity in vivo (Noffz et al. 2009). Testing this idea remains 122 a major challenge. 123 Human Disease 124 Early on, clinical assays for glycosylation defects, based on isoelectric focusing of 125 serum transferrin, distinguished two distinct classes of defects: a reduction in 126 glycan site occupancy, termed CDG type I, and a reduction in glycan chain length, 127 termed CDG type II. Earlier studies of LLO yeast mutants whose shared common 128 phenotype was reduction in N-glycan transfer by oligosaccharyltransferase thus 129 predicted that CDG type I defects would result from mutations that interfere with 130 LLO synthesis. This has proven to be the case, and every CDG-I mutation mapped 131 thus far affects enzymes involved directly or indirectly with the LLO pathway. 132 With regard to Alg1, Alg2, and Alg11, these deficiencies are named CDG-Ik,

Date:13/8/13 Time:17:43:00 Page Number: 8 8 N. Dean 133 CDG-Ii, and CDG-Ip, respectively (Thiel et al. 2003; Kranz et al. 2004; Rind et al. 134 2010). In each case, these mutations have been mapped, characterized as enzyme 135 deficiencies in lysates from patient s fibroblasts, and the cloned human wild-type 136 and mutant alleles assayed for gain or loss of function through complementation of 137 the corresponding yeast alg mutant. These are relatively rare mutations so the 138 phenotypic consequences cannot be generalized; phenotypes range from slight 139 mental or psychomotor impairment to multiple organ dysfunction and infantile 140 lethality. Most mutations in halg1, halg2, and halg11 identified thus far are 141 missense or partial-loss-of-function mutations. Since ALG1, ALG2, and ALG11 are 142 essential genes in other eukaryotes, it seems likely that complete loss of function of 143 any of these mannosyltransferases in humans would lead to embryonic lethality. 144 Future Perspective 145 Despite our detailed biochemical knowledge of the oligosaccharide biosynthetic 146 pathway, there remain many outstanding questions. There is good evidence that 147 changes in the flux through this pathway leads to increase or decreased levels of 148 glycosylation, and a major goal is to understand how this pathway is regulated and 149 feedbacks into other metabolic pathways. The importance of glycosylation for 150 correct protein folding, stability, and activity has long been appreciated. With 151 increasing technical efficiency of biopharmaceutical protein production has come 152 the increasing demand to engineer host systems that correctly glycosylate these 153 proteins (Chiba and Jigami 2007). Yeast cells efficiently glycosylate heterologous 154 proteins, but modify them in a nonhuman way, with excessive amounts of mannose. 155 Host expression systems, such as S. cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, and Yarrowia 156 lipolytica, have been genetically engineered in a variety of different ways to 157 produce more humanized glycans (for instance, see De Pourcq et al. 2012). 158 Recently the bioengineering of bacterial strains that co-express yeast ALG13, 159 ALG14, ALG1, and ALG2, along with the Campylobacter jejuni PglB oligosacchar- 160 yltransferase, has demonstrated successful production of lipid-linked 161 Man 3 GlcNAc 2 and its transfer to eukaryotic proteins in vivo (Valderrama-Rincon 162 et al. 2012). This raises the hope that customized glycosylation of recombinant 163 glycoproteins in bacteria will facilitate the production of useful biopharmaceutical 164 products. 165 References 166 Absmanner B, Schmeiser V, Kampf M, Lehle L (2010) Biochemical characterization, membrane 167 association and identification of amino acids essential for the function of Alg11 from Saccha- 168 romyces cerevisiae, an alpha1,2-mannosyltransferase catalysing two sequential glycosylation 169 steps in the formation of the lipid-linked core oligosaccharide.
