Beta-Mannosidosis Beta-mannosidosis What is beta-mannosidosis? Beta-mannosidosis is a rare inherited metabolic disease with variable severity and age of onset. Individuals with beta- mannosidosis have a deficiency of the beta-mannosidase enzyme, which helps to break down mannose-containing disaccharides (sugar molecules).2 The symptoms of beta-mannosidosis are due to the accumulation of disaccharides in the lysosomes.2 Beta-mannosidosis belongs to a group of diseases called lysosomal storage disorders.3 What are the symptoms of beta-mannosidosis and what treatment is available? The first onset of symptoms can range between infancy and adolescence. Symptoms can vary significantly in severity and may include1,3: • Intellectual disability • Developmental delay • Seizures • Behavioral problems • Increased risk of depression • Respiratory and ear infections • Hearing loss • Speech impairment • Swallowing difficulties • Hypotonia (poor muscle tone) • Peripheral nerve dysfunction • Angiokeratomas (benign skin lesions) • Skeletal abnormalities • Distinctive facial features Treatment is supportive and focuses on prevention of complications and management of symptoms. How is beta-mannosidosis inherited? Beta-mannosidosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the MANBA gene.1 An individual who inherits one copy of a MANBA gene mutation is a carrier. Carriers are not affected with beta-mannosidosis. An individual who inherits two mutations in the MANBA gene, one from each parent, is expected to be affected with beta- mannosidosis. If both members of a couple are carriers of mutations in the same gene, the risk for an affected child is 25% in each pregnancy; therefore, it is especially important that the reproductive partner of a carrier be offered testing. Who is at risk for beta-mannosidosis? Beta-mannosidosis is a rare condition and its prevalence is unknown. Having a relative who is a carrier or who is affected can increase an individual’s risk to be a carrier. Consultation with a genetics health professional may be helpful in determining carrier risk and appropriate testing. 1 ©2017 Laboratory Corporation of America® Holdings. All rights reserved. Beta-mannosidosis What does a positive test result mean? If a gene mutation is identified, an individual should speak to a physician or genetics health professional about the implications of the result and appropriate testing for the reproductive partner and at-risk family members. What does a negative test result mean? A negative result reduces, but does not eliminate, the possibility that an individual carries a gene mutation. The likelihood of being a carrier is also influenced by family history, medical symptoms, and other relevant test results. Where can I get more information?

Produced by almost all organisms, these carbohydrates are involved in numerous cellular processes, such as cell structuration, protein maturation and signalling, mediation of protein–protein interactions and cell recognition. The ubiquitous presence of mannosides in the environment means they are a reliable source of carbon and energy for bacteria, which have developed complex strategies to harvest them.

  • A Gene (Neu-1) on Chromosome 17 of the Mouse Affects Acid O-Glucosidase and Codes for Neuraminidase

SWALLOW,2 SANDRA J. ANDREWS,1 AND LORRAINE EVANS2 1 MRC Radiobiology Unit, Harwell, Didcot, Oxon, 0X11 ORD, U.K. 2 MRC Human Biochemical Genetics Unit, Galton Laboratory University College London, Wolf son House, 4 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HE, U.K, (Received 13 November 1980 and in revised form 19 December 1980) SUMMARY An electrophoretically detectable variant of acid a-glucosidase has been found in SM/J mice. This variant is attributable to excess sialylation of the enzyme and is determined by a gene, alpha-glucosidase processing, Aglp, on chromosome 17. In addition, as also reported by Potier, Lu Shun Yan & Womack (1979), SM/J mice are relatively deficient in neuraminidase and it appears that the low level of this enzyme in SM/J is determined by an autosomal codominant gene, neuraminidase-1, Neu-1. Preliminary data indicate that Neu-1 is also on chromosome 17. It seems probable that the several processing genes Apl, Aglp and Map-2 which are all closely linked on chromosome 17 are one and the same, a gene Neu-1 coding for neuraminidase. 1. INTRODUCTION A number of genes have been identified in the mouse, Mus musculus, which determine differences in the degree of sialylation of enzymes which are glyco- proteins. These include alpha-mannosidase processing-1 (Map-1) and alpha- mannosidase processing-2 (Map-2) which influence the sialylation of a-manno- sidase (EC 3.2.1.24) (Dizik & Elliott, 1977, 1978) and acid phosphatase-liver (Apl) which affects acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) (Lalley & Shows, 1977).

  • Better Influenza Vaccines: an Industry Perspective Juine-Ruey Chen1†, Yo-Min Liu2,3†, Yung-Chieh Tseng2 and Che Ma2*
    Chen et al. Journal of Biomedical Science (2020) 27:33 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12929-020-0626-6 REVIEW Open Access Better influenza vaccines: an industry perspective Juine-Ruey Chen1†, Yo-Min Liu2,3†, Yung-Chieh Tseng2 and Che Ma2* Abstract Vaccination is the most effective measure at preventing influenza virus infections. However, current seasonal influenza vaccines are only protective against closely matched circulating strains. Even with extensive monitoring and annual reformulation our efforts remain one step behind the rapidly evolving virus, often resulting in mismatches and low vaccine effectiveness. Fortunately, many next-generation influenza vaccines are currently in development, utilizing an array of innovative techniques to shorten production time and increase the breadth of protection. This review summarizes the production methods of current vaccines, recent advances that have been made in influenza vaccine research, and highlights potential challenges that are yet to be overcome. Special emphasis is put on the potential role of glycoengineering in influenza vaccine development, and the advantages of removing the glycan shield on influenza surface antigens to increase vaccine immunogenicity. The potential for future development of these novel influenza vaccine candidates is discussed from an industry perspective.

The first part of the thesis examines glycosyltransferases that play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of N-glycans. Precursors to eukaryotic N-glycans are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the form of a lipid-bound oligosaccharide, which is then transferred to a nascent protein. The first seven sugar units are assembled on the cytoplasmic side of the ER, which is performed by glycosyltransferases that use nucleotide sugars as donors. The mannosyl transferase PcManGT is produced by the archaeon Pyrobaculum calidifontis, and the biochemical and structural results presented in the thesis suggest that the enzyme may be a counterpart to the glycosyltransferase Alg1 that participates in the biosynthesis of N-glycans in eukaryotes.

  • Characterization of the Regulation of the Er Stress Response by the Dna Repair Enzyme Aag
    DECIPHERING THE CROSSTALK: CHARACTERIZATION OF THE REGULATION OF THE ER STRESS RESPONSE BY THE DNA REPAIR ENZYME AAG Clara Forrer Charlier Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences Department of Biochemistry and Physiology This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 DECIPHERING THE CROSSTALK: CHARACTERIZATION OF THE REGULATION OF THE ER STRESS RESPONSE BY THE DNA REPAIR ENZYME AAG- Clara Forrer Charlier – June 2018 SUMMARY The genome is a very dynamic store of genetic information and constantly threatened by endogenous and exogenous damaging agents. To maintain fidelity of the information stored, several robust and overlapping repair pathways, such as the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway, have evolved. The main BER glycosylase responsible for repairing alkylation DNA damage is the alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG). Repair initiated by AAG can lead to accumulation of cytotoxic intermediates. Here, we report the involvement of AAG in the elicitation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a mechanism triggered to restore proteostasis in the cell whose dysfunction is implicated in diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Firstly, we determined that not only human ARPE-19 cells were capable of eliciting the UPR, but that an alkylating agent, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), also triggers the response, and that in the absence of AAG the response is greatly diminished. Our luciferase reporter assay indicates that the response is activated on multiple branches (IRE1 and ATF6) on both AAG-proficient and deficient cells. Although no transcriptional induction of UPR markers was detected by RT-qPCR at 6 hours post MMS treatment, preliminary western-blot data at 6 and 24h, show activation of key UPR markers (p-eIF2α, BiP and XBP-1) upon MMS treatment in wild-type cells and little or no activation on AAG -/-.

  • Structure and Function of Er Class 1 Alpha Mannosidase
    STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF ER CLASS 1 ALPHA MANNOSIDASE by KHANITA KARAVEG (Under the Direction of Kelley W. Moremem) ABSTRACT Mammalian class 1 α1,2-mannosidases play critical roles in the maturation of Asn-linked glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex as well as influencing the timing and recognition for disposal of terminally misfolded glycoproteins during ER-associated degradation. Despite several recent reports of X-ray structures of class 1 mannosidases, the proposed catalytic mechanism has not yet been experimentally investigated. As a potential target for therapeutic intervention in ER storage disorders, human ER mannosidase I was chosen to investigate the impacts of single and double mutants of three putative catalytic and two glycone binding residues. The kinetics of binding for a D463N mutant to Man9GlcNAc2 was analyzed by surface plasmon resonance indicating that this residue is mainly responsible for substrate binding, but not catalysis. The optimum pH and pKa shift observed in the E330Q/A mutants strongly indicate that E330 is the general acid catalyst. A proton inventory study gave a DIE of 1.8±0.2, but did not resolve the involvement of a second water residue previously proposed from X-ray structure studies. The presumed general base catalyst is E599 based on X-ray structure determination of a co-complex between an α1,2-mannobiose thiodisaccharide substrate analog and human ER mannosidase I resolved to 1.4 Å. The uncleaved thiodisaccharide co-complex 3 bridges the enzyme +1 and -1 subsites and reveals a unique S1 sugar ring conformation for the - 1 subsite residue.
