TMEM165 deficiencies lead to one of the Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG), a group of inherited diseases where the glycosylation process is altered. We recently demonstrated that the Golgi glycosylation defect due to TMEM165 deficiency resulted from Golgi manganese homeostasis defect and that Mn2+ supplementation was sufficient to rescue a normal glycosylation. In this paper we highlight TMEM165 as a novel Golgi protein sensitive to manganese. When cells were exposed to high Mn2+ concentrations, TMEM165 was degraded into lysosomes. The Mn2+ induced lysosomal targeting of TMEM165 occurred via a Rab7 and Rab5 independent pathways, suggesting a direct trafficking from the Golgi to lysosomes in response to Mn2+. Remarkably, the variant p.E108G recently identified in a novel TMEM165-CDG patient, was found insensitive to Mn2+ supplementation. Moreover, this mutation abolished the function of TMEM165, suggesting that a transport function may be necessary for its regulation. Altogether our results identified the Golgi protein TMEM165 as a novel cytosolic Mn2+ sensor in mammalian cells and pointed to the crucial importance of the cytosolical ELGDK motif in both Mn2+ sensitivity and function.
Congenital disorders of glycosylation are severe inherited diseases in which aberrant protein glycosylation is a hallmark. Transmembrane protein 165 (TMEM165) is a novel Golgi transmembrane protein involved in type II congenital disorders of glycosylation. Although its biologic function is still a controversial issue, we have demonstrated that the Golgi glycosylation defect due to TMEM165 deficiency resulted from a Golgi Mn2+ homeostasis defect. The goal of this study was to delineate the cellular pathway by which extracellular Mn2+ rescues N‐glycosylation in TMEM165 knockout (KO) cells. We first demonstrated that after extracellular exposure, Mn2+ uptake by HEK293 cells at the plasma membrane did not rely on endocytosis but was likely done by plasma membrane transporters. Second, we showed that the secretory pathway Ca2+‐ATPase 1, also known to mediate the influx of cytosolic Mn2+ into the lumen of the Golgi apparatus, is not crucial for the Mn2+‐induced rescue glycosylation of lysosomal‐associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2). In contrast, our results demonstrate the involvement of cyclopiazonic acid—and thapsigargin (Tg)‐sensitive pumps in the rescue of TMEM165‐associated glycosylation defects by Mn2+. Interestingly, overexpression of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+‐ATPase (SERCA) 2b isoform in TMEM165 KO cells partially rescues the observed LAMP2 glycosylation defect. Overall, this study indicates that the rescue of Golgi N‐glycosylation defects in TMEM165 KO cells by extracellular Mn2+ involves the activity of Tg and cyclopiazonic acid–sensitive pumps, probably the SERCA pumps.—Houdou, M., Lebredonchel, E., Garat, A., Duvet, S., Legrand, D., Decool, V., Klein, A., Ouzzine, M., Gasnier, B., Potelle, S., Foulquier, F.

Since 2012, the interest for TMEM165 increased due to its implication in a rare genetic human disease named TMEM165-CDG (Congenital Disorder(s) of Glycosylation). TMEM165 is a Golgi localized protein, highly conserved through evolution and belonging to the uncharacterized protein family 0016 (UPF0016). Although the precise function of TMEM165 in glycosylation is still controversial, our results highly suggest that TMEM165 would act as a Golgi Ca2+/Mn2+ transporter regulating both Ca2+ and Mn2+ Golgi homeostasis, the latter is required as a major cofactor of many Golgi glycosylation enzymes. Strikingly, we recently demonstrated that besides its role in regulating Golgi Mn2+ homeostasis and consequently Golgi glycosylation, TMEM165 is sensitive to high manganese exposure. Members of the UPF0016 family contain two particularly highly conserved consensus motifs E-φ-G-D-[KR]-[TS] predicted to be involved in the ion transport function of UPF0016 members. We investigate the contribution of these two specific motifs in the function of TMEM165 in Golgi glycosylation and in its Mn2+ sensitivity. Our results show the crucial importance of these two conserved motifs and underline the contribution of some specific amino acids in both Golgi glycosylation and Mn2+ sensitivity.
