Alpha-Mannosidase-II Deficiency Results in Dyserythropoiesis and Unveils an Alternate Pathway in Oligosaccharide Biosynthesis

Abstract: Alpha-mannosidase-II (alphaM-II) catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of complex asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharides (N-glycans). Genetic deficiency of alphaM-II should abolish complex N-glycan production as reportedly does inhibition of alphaM-II by swainsonine. We find that mice lacking a functional alphaM-II gene develop a dyserythropoietic anemia concurrent with loss of erythrocyte complex N-glycans. Unexpectedly, nonerythroid cell types continued to produce complex N-glycans by… Show more

“…Inactivation of ␣-mannosidase II (22,23,25), and ␣-mannosidase IIx (24,25) individually reduces overall complex N-glycan synthesis significantly, but the mice are viable, albeit with different consequences, causing anemia or male infertility, respectively. However, ablation of both genes completely abrogates complex N-glycan formation with the accumulation of hybrid structures (25,38).…”

“…Furthermore, the unique cell-and tissuespecific roles of individual members of multigene enzyme families have also been revealed by these studies. For example, ␣-mannosidase II-deficient mice develop dyserythropoietic anemia and autoimmune disease (22,23), yet disruption of the mouse ␣-mannosidase IIx gene results in hypospermatogenesis and male infertility (24). However, ablation of both ␣-mannosidase II and IIx completely abrogates complex N-glycan biosynthesis with the accumulation of hybrid structures, and causes hepatic and pulmonary ultrastructural defects.…”

“…A 1.5-kb genomic fragment upstream of exon 1, a 4.5-kb lacZ gene (excised from the p␤gal-Basic vector; BD Biosciences), a 1.7-kb PGKneo gene (excised from the pFlox vector (22)), and a 7.3-kb genomic fragment downstream of exon 6, were successively subcloned in the pMC1DT-3 vector (23), generating the Cth gene-targeting construct. The vector was linearized with NotI and transfected into 129/Sv embryonic stem cells (Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma, Osaka, Japan) by electroporation.…”

“…5a), and no further inhibition was achieved at 1 M (data not shown). Swainsonine inhibited the majority of L-PHA staining, yet a small population of L-PHA-positive cells persisted, suggesting a minor or alternate pathway to complex-type N-glycans that uses ␣-mannosidase IIX is functional in these cells (24). Naive T cells (CD4 ϩ CD45RO Ϫ ) were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28.…”
