Reduction in Golgi apparatus dimension in the absence of a residential protein, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V

Abstract: Various proteins are involved in the generation and maintenance of the membrane complex known as the Golgi apparatus. We have used mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines Lec4 and Lec4A lacking N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GlcNAcT-V, MGAT5) activity and protein in the Golgi apparatus to study the effects of the absence of a single glycosyltransferase on the Golgi apparatus dimension. Quantification of immunofluorescence in serial confocal sections for Golgi α-mannosidase II and electron microscopic… Show more

“…For example, a mutation in the membrane-spanning domain of an N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I caused a dramatic effect on Golgi morphology [129]. In CHO cells lacking N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (MGAT5), the Golgi volume density was significantly reduced [130]; however, this was not ascribed to the lack of enzymatic function, given that in the absence (or inhibition) of its precursors, MGAT1 and Mann-II, the Golgi seems unaffected. However, we do not rule out that this possibility may be limited only to the glycosyltransferases that form complexes with cytoskeletal proteins [131][132][133].…”

“…It can be that the Golgi of a knockout worm is seeking to ‘self-correct’ similarly to the case in glycosylation-defective mammalian cells, where loss of GlcNAc transferase II results in a shift from multiple single LacNAc caps to the expression of longer linear polyLacNAc (53). Also, it can be that lack of a major Golgi enzyme may result in alterations in Golgi morphology as has been reported for the case when GlcNAc transferase V, but not GlcNAc transferase I, is absent from mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells (54). Some of the shifts in the glycome are reflected in the biosynthetic scheme shown in Supplementary Figure 2, whereby the usual core fucosylation events as well as the ability to generate antennae are affected.…”

“…GMII trims the mannose residue and contributes to the formation of the core GlcNAcMan3GlcNAc2 glycosyl structure, which is a necessary basis for the further adjunction of N-acetyl-glucosamine, and so we took it for granted that the high expression of GMII leads to abnormal N-glycan formation of the glycoproteins. Recently, a study reported that swainsonine can decrease the synthesis of β1,6-branched N-glycans by inhibiting GMII, which means that GMII should participate in the β1,6-branched N-glycan formation 27. In the last years, some studies have pointed that alterations of β1,6-branched of N-glycans were related to proliferation potential, tissue invasion and metastasis, which were recognized as hallmarks of cancer progression 28.…”
