Endo-alpha-D-mannosidase is an enzyme involved in N-linked oligosaccharide
processing which through its capacity to cleave the internal linkage
between the glucose-substituted mannose and the remainder of the
polymannose carbohydrate unit can provide an alternate pathway for
achieving deglucosylation and thereby make possible the continued formation
of complex oligosaccharides during a glucosidase blockade. In view of the
important role which has been attributed to glucose on nascent
glycoproteins as a regulator of a number of biological events, we chose to
further define the in vivo action of endomannosidase by focusing on the
well characterized VSV envelope glycoprotein (G protein) which can be
formed by the large array of cell lines susceptible to infection by this
pathogen. Through an assessment of the extent to which the G protein was
converted to an endo-beta-N- acetylglucosaminidase (endo H)-resistant form
during a castanospermine imposed glucosidase blockade, we found that
utilization of the endomannosidase-mediated deglucosylation route was
clearly host cell specific, ranging from greater than 90% in HepG2 and PtK1
cells to complete absence in CHO, MDCK, and MDBK cells, with intermediate
values in BHK, BW5147.3, LLC-PK1, BRL, and NRK cell lines. In some of the
latter group the electrophoretic pattern after endo H treatment suggested
that only one of the two N-linked oligosaccharides of the G protein was
processed by endomannosidase. In the presence of the specific
endomannosidase inhibitor, Glcalpha1-->3(1- deoxy)mannojirimycin, the
conversion of the G protein into an endo H- resistant form was completely
arrested. While the lack of G protein processing by CHO cells was
consistent with the absence of in vitro measured endomannosidase activity
in this cell line, the failure of MDBK and MDCK cells to convert the G
protein into an endo H-resistant form was surprising since these cell lines
have substantial levels of the enzyme. Similarly, we observed that
influenza virus hemagglutinin was not processed in castanospermine-treated
MDCK cells. Our findings suggest that studies which rely on glucosidase
inhibition to explore the function of glucose in controlling such critical
biological phenomena as intracellular movement or quality control should be
carried out in cell lines in which the glycoprotein under study is not a
substrate for endomannosidase action.
