Enhancement of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Degradation of Misfolded Null Hong Kong α1-Antitrypsin by Human ER Mannosidase I

Misfolded glycoproteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are degraded by cytoplasmic proteasomes, a mechanism known as ERAD (ER-associated degradation). In the present study, we demonstrate that ERAD of the misfolded genetic variant-null Hong Kong α1-antitrypsin is enhanced by overexpression of the ER processing α1,2-mannosidase (ER ManI) in HEK 293 cells, indicating the importance of ER ManI in glycoprotein quality control. We showed previously that EDEM, an enzymatically inactive mannosidase homolog, interacts with misfolded α1-antitrypsin and accelerates its degradation (Hosokawa, N., Wada, I., Hasegawa, K., Yorihuzi, T., Tremblay, L. O., Herscovics, A., and Nagata, K. (2001) EMBO Rep. 2, 415–422). Herein we demonstrate a combined effect of ER ManI and EDEM on ERAD of misfolded α1-antitrypsin. We also show that misfolded α1-antitrypsin NHK contains labeled Glc1Man9GlcNAc and Man5–9GlcNAc released by endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H in pulse-chase experiments with 2-3Hmannose. Overexpression of ER ManI greatly increases the formation of Man8GlcNAc, induces the formation of Glc1Man8GlcNAc and increases trimming to Man5–7GlcNAc. We propose a model whereby the misfolded glycoprotein interacts with ER ManI and with EDEM, before being recognized by downstream ERAD components. This detailed characterization of oligosaccharides associated with a misfolded glycoprotein raises the possibility that the carbohydrate recognition determinant triggering ERAD may not be restricted to Man8GlcNAc2 isomer B as previous studies have suggested.

The synthesis of glycoproteins containing N-glycans begins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) 1The abbreviations used are: ER, endoplasmic reticulum; ERAD, ER-associated degradation; A1AT NHK, α1-antitrypsin-null Hong Kong; ER ManI, ER α1,2-mannosidase I; EDEM, ER degradation enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein; Man8B, Man8GlcNAc2 isomer B; HEK 293, human embryonic kidney 293; Endo-H, endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H; DMEM, Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium; HA, hemagglutinin; PVDF, polyvinylidene difluoride.1The abbreviations used are: ER, endoplasmic reticulum; ERAD, ER-associated degradation; A1AT NHK, α1-antitrypsin-null Hong Kong; ER ManI, ER α1,2-mannosidase I; EDEM, ER degradation enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein; Man8B, Man8GlcNAc2 isomer B; HEK 293, human embryonic kidney 293; Endo-H, endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H; DMEM, Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium; HA, hemagglutinin; PVDF, polyvinylidene difluoride. with the addition of the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 precursor of N-linked glycans to nascent polypeptide chains. Subsequently, the ER lectin chaperones, calnexin or calreticulin, specifically bind to monoglucosylated N-glycans, promoting proper glycoprotein folding. This ER quality control process is mediated by glucosidases I and II that remove the glucose residues from Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 and by UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase that reglucosylates incompletely folded glycoproteins. Correctly folded glycoproteins exit the ER to their final destinations, whereas misfolded glycoproteins are readily degraded (for reviews see Refs. 1Ellgaard L. Molinari M. Helenius A.

We recently reported the molecular cloning of mouse EDEM (ER degradation enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein) and its involvement in glycoprotein ERAD. It was suggested that EDEM is a putative lectin, which most likely binds Man8B on misfolded α1-antitrypsin and accelerates its degradation (15Hosokawa N. Wada I. Hasegawa K. Yorihuzi T. Tremblay L.O. Herscovics A. Nagata K. EMBO Rep. 2001; 2: 415-422Crossref PubMed Scopus (380) Google Scholar). Two groups also reported the yeast homolog of EDEM and its function in yeast ERAD (16Jakob C.A. Bodmer D. Spirig U. Bättig P. Marcil A. Dignard D. Bergeron J.J.M. Thomas D.Y. Aebi M. EMBO Rep. 2001; 2: 423-430Crossref PubMed Scopus (218) Google Scholar, 17Nakatsukasa K. Nishikawa S.-I.

Both ER ManI and EDEM are ER resident transmembrane proteins containing characteristic signature motifs of class I α1,2-mannosidases (glycosylhydrolase family 47). Despite this significant sequence similarity, EDEM lacks α1,2-mannosidase activity with Man9GlcNAc as substrate (15Hosokawa N. Wada I. Hasegawa K. Yorihuzi T. Tremblay L.O. Herscovics A. Nagata K. EMBO Rep. 2001; 2: 415-422Crossref PubMed Scopus (380) Google Scholar). In addition, these two proteins differ in their response to ER stress. EDEM is induced by various forms of ER stress, but ER ManI is not (15Hosokawa N. Wada I. Hasegawa K. Yorihuzi T. Tremblay L.O. Herscovics A. Nagata K. EMBO Rep. 2001; 2: 415-422Crossref PubMed Scopus (380) Google Scholar). In this report, we show that overexpression of human ER ManI accelerates the degradation of the terminally misfolded α1-antitrypsin genetic variant-null Hong Kong (A1AT NHK) (18Sifers R.N. Brashears-Macatee S. Kidd V.J. Muensch H. Woo S.L.C. J. Biol. Chem. 1988; 263: 7330-7335Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). We also show the combined effects of ER ManI and EDEM on the degradation of misfolded α1-antitrypsin. Glycan analysis on misfolded NHK shows that overexpression of ER ManI greatly increases the formation of Man8GlcNAc2 and Glc1Man8GlcNAc2 and also stimulates trimming of N-linked oligosaccharides to Man5GlcNAc2 in vivo. These experiments suggest that the misfolded glycoprotein interacts both with ER ManI and EDEM before being recognized by downstream ERAD components. Cell Culture and Transfection—Human HEK 293 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, and transfection of plasmids encoding human ER ManI, mouse EDEM, and human α1-antitrypsin-null Hong Kong were performed using FuGENE 6 transfection reagents (Roche Molecular Biochemicals) according to the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. Approximately 1.5 × 105 cells were plated on poly-l-lysine-coated 3.5-cm dishes. After 24 h of plating, 0.5 μg of plasmid encoding ER ManI, EDEM, or pMH vector were mixed with 1 μg of plasmid encoding the α1-antitrypsin variant A1AT NHK for transfection, and cells were pulse-labeled and harvested 36 h post-transfection. Reagents—Kifunensine, an inhibitor of ER ManI, was kindly provided by Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co. (Osaka, Japan) and added to the culture medium at a concentration of 5 μg/ml for 4 h prior to pulse-labeling. The proteasome inhibitor lactacystin was purchased from Kyowa Medics Co. (Tokyo, Japan) and added to the culture medium at a concentration of 1 mm for 4 h prior to pulse-labeling. The inhibitors were also present in the medium during the pulse and the chase periods. Plasmid Construction—Human ER ManI cDNA was subcloned into the pMH vector (Roche Molecular Biochemicals) by PCR. The entire open reading frame (9Tremblay L.O. Herscovics A. Glycobiology. 1999; 9: 1073-1078Crossref PubMed Scopus (99) Google Scholar) was amplified from cDNA using a sense primer containing a HindIII site and a Kozak sequence (5′-AAAAAAGCTTCCACCATGGCTGCCTGCGAGGGCAGGAG-3′) and an antisense primer containing a NotI site and omitting the stop codon (5′-AAAAAAAAGCGGCCGCGCTGCAGGGGTCCAGATAGGCAGAG-3′). The open reading frame amplicon was digested with HindIII and NotI and cloned into the HindIII/NotI sites of pMH in-frame with the C-terminal HA-tag. Mouse EDEM cDNA was tagged with HA at its C terminus in pCMV-SPORT2 vector (Invitrogen) as described previously (15Hosokawa N. Wada I. Hasegawa K. Yorihuzi T. Tremblay L.O. Herscovics A. Nagata K. EMBO Rep. 2001; 2: 415-422Crossref PubMed Scopus (380) Google Scholar). The NHK variant was constructed as described elsewhere (15Hosokawa N. Wada I. Hasegawa K. Yorihuzi T. Tremblay L.O. Herscovics A. Nagata K. EMBO Rep. 2001; 2: 415-422Crossref PubMed Scopus (380) Google Scholar). Metabolic Labeling and Immunoprecipitation—Cells were preincubated in DMEM lacking methionine (Invitrogen) for 30 min and labeled with Expre35S35S protein labeling mixture (PerkinElmer Life Sciences) for 15 min at a concentration of 8.2 MBq/ml. The cells were then incubated in DMEM during the chase period. After washing twice with phosphate-buffered saline lacking Ca2+ and Mg2+, cells were incubated on ice for 20 min in lysis buffer (1% Nonidet P-40, 150 mm NaCl, 50 mm Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, supplemented with protease inhibitors) (15Hosokawa N. Wada I. Hasegawa K. Yorihuzi T. Tremblay L.O. Herscovics A. Nagata K. EMBO Rep. 2001; 2: 415-422Crossref PubMed Scopus (380) Google Scholar). For immunoprecipitation, Nonidet P-40 soluble cell lysates were mixed with various antibodies (1/50 dilution), and the immune complexes were collected using either Protein A- or Protein G-Sepharose beads (Amersham-Pharmacia, Amersham, UK) (19Satoh M. Hirayoshi K. Yokota S-i. Hosokawa N. Nagata K. J. Cell Biol. 1996; 133: 469-483Crossref PubMed Scopus (188) Google Scholar). One-half of the cell lysate was used for immunoprecipitation using antibody against A1AT, and the other half was incubated with anti-HA antibody. In cells co-transfected with NHK and ER ManI or EDEM, the radioactivity of immunoprecipitated NHK decreased compared with cells transfected with NHK and pMH. To obtain approximately equal signals for the immunoprecipitated NHK at chase 0 h, the gels were exposed 2 or 3 times longer for samples co-transfected with ER ManI or EDEM than for those co-transfected with pMH. Alternatively in some experiments, one-half or one-third of the cell lysates was used for immunoprecipitation in pMH transfected cells in comparison with ER ManI or EDEM transfected cells.
