Free glycans derived from O-mannosylated glycoproteins suggest the presence of an O-glycoprotein degradation pathway in yeast

ABSTRACT: In eukaryotic cells, unconjugated oligosaccharides structurally related to N-glycans (FNGs) are generated either from misfolded N-glycoproteins destined for endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD), or from lipid-linked oligosaccharides, donor substrates for N-glycosylation of proteins. The mechanism responsible for the generation of FNGs is now well understood, but whether there are other type of free glycans remain unclarified. Here, we report on the accumulation of O-mannosylated free glycans in budding yeast that were cultured in media containing mannose as a carbon source. A structural analysis of these glycans revealed that their structures are identical to those of O-mannosyl glycans that are attached to glycoproteins. Deletion of the cyc8 gene, encoding a general transcription repressor, resulted in the accumulation of excessive amounts of the free O-glycans, concomitant with a severe growth defect, a reduction in the level of cellular O-mannosylated proteins, and compromised cell wall integrity. Our findings provide evidence for a regulated pathway for O-glycoprotein degradation in yeast and offer critical insights into the catabolic mechanisms that control the fate of O-glycosylated proteins.

Project description:Human noroviruses, globally the main cause of viral gastroenteritis, show strain specific affinity for histo-blood group antigens (HBGA) and can successfully be propagated ex vivo in human intestinal enteroids (HIEs). HIEs established from jejunal stem cells of individuals with different ABO, Lewis and secretor geno- and phenotypes, show varying susceptibility to such infections. Using bottom-up glycoproteomic approaches we have defined and compared the N-linked glycans of glycoproteins of seven jejunal HIEs. Membrane proteins were extracted, trypsin digested, and glycopeptides enriched by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS. The Byonic software was used for glycopeptide identification followed by hands-on verifications and interpretations. Glycan structures and attachment sites were identified from MS 2 spectra obtained by higher-energy collision dissociation through analysis of diagnostic saccharide oxonium ions (B-ions), stepwise glycosidic fragmentation of the glycans (Y-ions), and peptide sequence ions (b- and y-ions). Altogether 694 unique glycopeptides from 93 glycoproteins were identified. The N-glycans encompassed pauci- and oligomannose, hybrid- and complex-type structures. Notably, polyfucosylated HBGA-containing glycopeptides of the four glycoproteins tetraspanin-8, carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5, sucrose-isomaltase and aminopeptidase N were especially prominent and were characterized in detail and related to donor ABO, Lewis and secretor types of each HIE. Virtually no sialylated N-glycans were identified for these glycoproteins suggesting that terminal sialylation was infrequent compared to fucosylation and HBGA biosynthesis. This approach gives unique site-specific information on the structural complexity of N-linked glycans of glycoproteins of human HIEs and provides a platform for future studies on the role of host glycoproteins in gastrointestinal infectious diseases.
