ESSENTIALS OF GLYCOBIOLOGY LECTURE 13 OTHER TYPES OF GOLGI GLYCOSYLATION Hud Freeze
SUMMARY AND TAKE HOME MESSAGES • “Rare” forms of glycosylation are not rare or insignificant • Technical limitations slowed their identification • O-linked Mannose-based glycans are abundant in brain • These chains are prominent on a-dystroglycan • Altered O-Mannose glycans cause Muscular Dystrophy • O-Fucose, O-Glucose found in EGF domains • Notch signaling pathways depend on glycosylation • Other forms of glycosylation are likely to have functions
RARE FORMS OF GLYCOSYLATION • Discovery • Minor component in an abundant source • Thorough analysis of a well known or important molecules • Antibody against a “glycan” • Dedicated analysis of mixtures of glycans, proteins or organs • Chance
RARE FORMS OF GLYCOSYLATION • Roadblocks to Discovery • Degradation and analysis is difficult • Minor amounts • Biosynthetic route is unknown • Tools required are often state of the art level • Significance • Ranges from Unknown-----> critically important • Primitive eukaryotic function - selection and adaptation to specific needs in mammals

What are the functions of these modifications? Little effect on half-life or activity of clotting proteins How about other proteins with EGF modules? Now it gets interesting
Notch - an EGF Signaling Protein • Signaling molecule from C. elegans Humans • Signals induced in binding to Delta or Jagged (serrate) on adjacent cells • Signaling defects in Notch cause abnormal development, leukemia and a complex disease of Cerebral Artiopathy and Infarcts • Human Notch-1 (of 4) contains 12 O-Fucose and 17 O-glucose modification consensus sites • Could these be involved in Signaling????
Notch retains aFucose and bGlucose glycosylation motifs O-fucose O-glucose both
Are the Sugar Chains Important for Anything? • Half of the glycosylation sites are conserved across species (3, 4, 10, 12-14, 13, and 14 all contain conserved sites). • The EGF modules 11 and 12 are essential for binding to Delta. Modules 10, 12, 13, and 14 all contain conserved sites • Abnormal wing vein mutations occur in modules 24-29. • Human disorders have been tracked to mutations in Notch 3. • Fringe proteins differentially modify Notch binding to Delta and Serrate. Wonder what fringe is…....
Are the Sugar Chains Important for Anything? • Mammalian fringe homologs exist--manic, lunatic, radical • Fringe must be expressed in the same cell as Notch to exert its effect. Fringe is secreted.
