Quality control of glycoproteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is mediated by lectins and molecular chaperones. N-linked Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharides attached to the nascent polypeptides are processed and recognized by lectins in the ER. OS-9 and XTP3-B/Erlectin, mannose 6-phosphate receptor homology (MRH) domain-containing lectins in mammals, were recently identified as ER luminal glycoproteins that participate in ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded proteins. Frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) and cell-surface expressed lectin assay revealed that both OS-9 and XTP3-B recognize high-mannose type N-glycans that lack the terminal mannose on the C branch. Furthermore, these lectins associate with the HRD1-SEL1L ubiquitin ligase complex on the ER membrane. In this chapter, we describe the FAC methods used to analyze the carbohydrate-recognition specificity of OS-9 and methods to examine the interaction and the effect on ERAD of these proteins in vivo. We also discuss the structure and function of OS-9 and XTP3-B, and the effect of these lectins on ERAD.
内质网(ER)中合成的糖蛋白的质量控制由凝集素和分子伴侣介导。附着在新生多肽上的N-连接的Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)寡糖在内质网中被凝集素加工和识别。OS-9和XTP3-B/Erlectin是哺乳动物中含甘露糖6-磷酸受体同源(MRH)结构域的凝集素,最近被鉴定为参与错误折叠蛋白的内质网相关降解(ERAD)的内质网腔糖蛋白。前沿亲和色谱(FAC)和细胞表面表达的凝集素测定表明,OS-9和XTP3-B都识别C分支上缺乏末端甘露糖的高甘露糖型N-聚糖。此外,这些凝集素与内质网膜上的HRD1-SEL1L泛素连接酶复合物相关联。在本章中,我们描述了用于分析OS-9的碳水化合物识别特异性的FAC方法,以及在体内检测这些蛋白质的相互作用及其对ERAD的影响的方法。我们还讨论了OS-9和XTP3-B的结构和功能,以及这些凝集素对ERAD的影响。
