- Abstract
- Glucosidase I (GI) removes the outermost glucose from protein-linked Glc 3 Man 9 GlcNAc 2 (G3M9) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Individuals with congenital disorders of glycosylation MOGS-CDG bear mutations in the GI-encoding gene ( gls1 ). Although GI absence has been reported to produce lethality in Schizosaccharomyces pombe yeasts, here we obtained two viable Δ gls1 mutants, one with a very sick but not lethal phenotype (Δ gls1-S ) and the other with a healthier one (Δ gls1-H ). The sick strain displayed only G3M9 as an ER protein-linked oligosaccharide, whereas the healthier strain had both G3M9 and Man 9 GlcNAc 2 The lipid-linked oligosaccharide patterns of the two strains revealed that the most abundantly formed glycans were G3M9 in Δ gls1-S and Glc 2 Man 9 GlcNAc 2 in Δ gls1-H , suggesting reduced Alg10p glucosyltransferase activity in the Δ gls1-H strain. A mutation in the alg10 + gene was indeed observed in this strain. Our results indicated that abrogated G3M9 deglucosylation was responsible for the severe defects observed in Δ gls1-S cells. Further studies disclosed that the defects could not be ascribed to disruption of glycoprotein entrance into calnexin-folding cycles, inhibition of the oligosaccharyltransferase by transfer reaction products, or reduced proteasomal degradation of misfolded glycoproteins. Lack of triglucosylated glycoprotein deglucosylation neither significantly prevented glycan elongation in the Golgi nor modified the overall cell wall monosaccharide composition. Nevertheless, it resulted in a distorted cell wall and in the absence of underlying ER membranes. Furthermore, Golgi expression of human endomannosidase partially restored normal growth in Δ gls1-S cells. We propose that accumulation of G3M9-bearing glycoproteins is toxic and at least partially responsible for defects observed in MOGS-CDG.
