Quantitative glycoproteomics reveals new classes of STT3A- and STT3B-dependent N-glycosylation sites.

ABSTRACT: Human cells express two oligosaccharyltransferase complexes (STT3A and STT3B) with partially overlapping functions. The STT3A complex interacts directly with the protein translocation channel to mediate cotranslational glycosylation, while the STT3B complex can catalyze posttranslocational glycosylation. We used a quantitative glycoproteomics procedure to compare glycosylation of roughly 1,000 acceptor sites in wild type and mutant cells. Analysis of site occupancy data disclosed several new classes of STT3A-dependent acceptor sites including those with suboptimal flanking sequences and sites located within cysteine-rich protein domains. Acceptor sites located in short loops of multi-spanning membrane proteins represent a new class of STT3B-dependent site. Remarkably, the lumenal ER chaperone GRP94 was hyperglycosylated in STT3A-deficient cells, bearing glycans on five silent sites in addition to the normal glycosylation site. GRP94 was also hyperglycosylated in wild-type cells treated with ER stress inducers including thapsigargin, dithiothreitol, and NGI-1.

Project description:STT3A and STT3B are the main catalytic subunit of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST-A and OST-B in mammalian cells), which primarily mediate cotranslational and posttranslocational N-linked glycosylation, respectively. To determine the specificity of STT3A and STT3B, we performed proteomics and glycoproteomics analyses to characterize the protein expression and glycosylation in STT3A-knockout (KO), STT3B-KO, and wild-type (WT) HEK293 cells. In total, 3,993 proteins, 4,020 unique N-linked intact glycopeptides (IGPs) and 723 glycosites, representing 401 glycoproteins were identified in KO and WT cells. Deletion of the STT3A gene had a greater impact on the protein expression than deletion of STT3B, especially on glycoproteins. In addition, mannosylated N-glycans from glycoproteins were reduced, while fucosylated N-glycans were increased in STT3A-KO cells. The glycan changes may be caused by the differential expression of glycosyltransferases and the activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) with further analysis of glycan-related enzymes. Interestingly, hyperglycosylated proteins were identified in KO cells. We verified that the hyperglycosylation of ENPL was caused by the ER stress and UPR, which were induced by the deletion of the STT3A. Overall, the specificity of STT3A and STT3B revealed that defects in the OST subunit not only broadly affect N-linked glycosylation of the protein but also affect protein expression.STT3A and STT3B are the main catalytic subunit of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST-A and OST-B in mammalian cells), which primarily mediate cotranslational and posttranslocational N-linked glycosylation, respectively.

Project description:Lassa virus (LASV) is the causative agent of a fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans. The glycoprotein (GP) of LASV mediates viral entry into host cells, and correct processing and modification of GP by host factors is a prerequisite for virus replication. Here, using an affinity purification-coupled mass spectrometry (AP-MS) strategy, 591 host proteins were identified as interactors of LASV GP. Gene ontology analysis was performed to functionally annotate these proteins, and the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex was highly enriched. Functional studies conducted by using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockouts showed that STT3A and STT3B, the two catalytically active isoforms of the OST complex, are essential for the propagation of the recombinant arenavirus rLCMV/LASV glycoprotein precursor, mainly via affecting virus infectivity. Knockout of STT3B, but not STT3A, caused hypoglycosylation of LASV GP, indicating a preferential requirement of LASV for the STT3B-OST isoform. Furthermore, double knockout of magnesium transporter 1 (MAGT1) and tumor suppressor candidate 3 (TUSC3), two specific subunits of STT3B-OST, also caused hypoglycosylation of LASV GP and affected virus propagation. Site-directed mutagenesis analysis revealed that the oxidoreductase CXXC active-site motif of MAGT1 or TUSC3 is essential for the glycosylation of LASV GP. NGI-1, a small-molecule OST inhibitor, can effectively reduce virus infectivity without affecting cell viability. The STT3B-dependent N-glycosylation of GP is conserved among other arenaviruses, including both the Old World and New World groups. Our study provided a systematic view of LASV GP-host interactions and revealed the preferential requirement of STT3B for LASV GP N-glycosylation.IMPORTANCE Glycoproteins play vital roles in the arenavirus life cycle by facilitating virus entry and participating in the virus budding process. N-glycosylation of GPs is responsible for their proper functioning; however, little is known about the host factors on which the virus depends for this process. In this study, a comprehensive LASV GP interactome was characterized, and further study revealed that STT3B-dependent N-glycosylation was preferentially required by arenavirus GPs and critical for virus infectivity. The two specific thioredoxin subunits of STT3B-OST MAGT1 and TUSC3 were found to be essential for the N-glycosylation of viral GP. NGI-1, a small-molecule inhibitor of OST, also showed a robust inhibitory effect on arenavirus. Our study provides new insights into LASV GP-host interactions and extends the potential targets for the development of novel therapeutics against Lassa fever in the future.
