1. ESSENTIALS OF GLYCOBIOLOGY LECTURE 13 OTHER TYPES OF GOLGI GLYCOSYLATION Hud Freeze

2. 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  -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

3. 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

5. 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

10. 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

11. 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????

12. O-fucose O-glucose both Notch retains  Fucose and  Glucose glycosylation motifs

13. 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…....

14. 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.

15. Notch and its ligands both contain EGF domains Notch Delta Serrate SIGNALS FRINGE GENES

16. Jagged Notch + manic +lunatic Fringe proteins modify Notch/ligand binding and signaling Lunatic and manic modify different EGF modules
