Deficiency of dolichyl-P-Glc:Man9GlcNAc2-PP-dolichyl glucosyltransferase is the cause of an additional type of carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS type V). Clinically this type resembles the classical type Ia of CDGS caused by the deficiency of phosphomannomutase. As a result of the glucosyltransferase deficiency in CDGS type V nonglucosylated lipid-linked oligosaccharides accumulate. The defect is leaky and glucosylated oligosaccharides are found on nascent glycoproteins. The limited availability of glucosylated lipid-linked oligosaccharides explains the incomplete usage of N-glycosylation sites in glycoproteins. This finding is reflected in the presence of transferrin forms in serum that lack one or both of the two N-linked oligosaccharides and the reduction of mannose incorporation to about one-third of control in glycoproteins of fibroblasts.

We report siblings with a variant of carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, type 1 (CDGS1), characterized by normal phosphomannomutase and phosphomannose isomerase activities, severe thrombocytopenia, and respiratory compromise. Each infant died after a course of intensive care, suggesting that infants with CDGS1 and normal phosphomannomutase and phosphomannose isomerase activities may have a more severe CDGS1 phenotype.

In the carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS) type 1 glycoproteins with less and shorter N-linked oligosaccharides are synthesized due to a deficiency of phosphomannomutase. Glucose deprivation or mannose addition are shown to partially or fully correct the size of oligosaccharides incorporated into lipid linked oligosaccharides and nascent glycoproteins in skin fibroblasts from CDGS type 1 patients with a phosphomannomutase defect. The corrective effect is ascribed to regulatory mechanisms and/or metabolic pathways that bypass phosphomannomutase.

Human tissues contain two types of phosphomannomutase, PMM1 and PMM2. Mutations in the PMM2 gene are responsible for the most common form of carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome [Matthijs, Schollen, Pardon, Veiga-da-Cunha, Jaeken, Cassiman and Van Schaftingen (1997) Nat. Genet. 19, 88-92]. The protein encoded by this gene has now been produced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity, and its properties have been compared with those of recombinant human PMM1. PMM2 converts mannose 1-phosphate into mannose 6-phosphate about 20 times more rapidly than glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate, whereas PMM1 displays identical Vmax values with both substrates. The Ka values for both mannose 1,6-bisphosphate and glucose 1,6-bisphosphate are significantly lower in the case of PMM2 than in the case of PMM1. Like PMM1, PMM2 forms a phosphoenzyme with the chemical characteristics of an acyl-phosphate. PMM1 and PMM2 hydrolyse different hexose bisphosphates (glucose 1,6-bisphosphate, mannose 1,6-bisphosphate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate) at maximal rates of approximately 3.5 and 0.3% of their PMM activity, respectively. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate does not activate PMM2 but causes a time-dependent stimulation of PMM1 due to the progressive formation of mannose 1,6-bisphosphate from fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and mannose 1-phosphate. Experiments with specific antibodies, kinetic studies and Northern blots indicated that PMM2 is the only detectable isozyme in most rat tissues except brain and lung, where PMM1 accounts for about 66 and 13% of the total activities, respectively.

The aim of the present study was to explore how mannose enters fibroblasts derived from a panel of children suffering from different subtypes of type I carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome: seven carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtype Ia (phosphomannomutase deficiency), two carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtype Ib (phosphomannose isomerase deficiency) and two carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtype Ix (not identified deficiency). We showed that a specific mannose transport system exists in all the cells tested but has different characteristics with respect to carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome subtypes. Subtype Ia fibroblasts presented a mannose uptake equivalent or higher (maximum 1.6-fold) than control cells with a D-[2-3H]-mannose incorporation in nascent N-glycoproteins decreased up to 7-fold. Compared to control cells, the mannose uptake was greatly stimulated in subtype Ib (4.0-fold), due to lower Kuptake and higher Vmax values. Subtype Ib cells showed an increased incorporation of D-[2-3H]-mannose into nascent N-glycoproteins. Subtype Ix fibroblasts presented an intermediary status with mannose uptake equivalent to the control but with an increased incorporation of D-[2-3H]-mannose in nascent N-glycoproteins. All together, our results demonstrate quantitative and/or qualitative modifications in mannose transport of all carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome fibroblasts in comparison to control cells, with a relative homogeneity within a considered subtype of carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome. These results are consistent with the possible use of mannose as a therapeutic agent in carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome Ib and Ix.

The carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein (CDG) syndromes (CDGS) are a series of autosomal recessive enzyme deficiencies which result in incomplete glycosylation of plasma proteins. CDGS types Ia and Ib have been related to deficiencies of phosphomannomutase and phosphomannose isomerase, respectively, while CDGS type II results from a deficiency of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II. Secondary CDG syndromes are associated with galactosaemia and hereditary fructose intolerance. The diagnosis of CDGS is most easily made by studying the glycoforms of suitable marker proteins using either electrophoresis or isoelectric focusing. This paper reviews the structure of the glycan chains of proteins and structural alterations in CDGS. It also outlines analytical techniques which are useful in the laboratory study of protein glycoforms and the diagnosis of CDGS.

The carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein or CDG syndromes (OMIM 212065) are a recently delineated group of genetic, multisystem diseases with variable dysmorphic features. The known CDG syndromes are characterized by a partial deficiency of the N-linked glycans of secretory glycoproteins, lysosomal enzymes, and probably also membranous glycoproteins. Due to the deficiency of terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid or sialic acid, the glycan changes can be observed in serum transferrin or other glycoproteins using isoelectrofocusing with immunofixation as the most widely used diagnostic technique. Most patients show a serum sialotransferrin pattern characterized by increased di- and asialotransferrin bands (type I pattern). The majority of patients with type I are phosphomannomutase deficient (type IA), while in a few other patients, deficiencies of phosphomannose isomerase (type IB) or endoplasmic reticulum glucosyltransferase (type IC) have been demonstrated. This review is an update on CDG syndrome type IA.

Carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndromes (CDGS) are inherited disorders in glycosylation. Isoelectric focusing of serum transferrin is used as a biochemical indicator of CDGS; however, this technique cannot diagnose the molecular defect. Even though phosphomannomutase (PMM) deficiency accounts for the great majority of known CDGS cases (CDGS type Ia), newly discovered cases have significantly different clinical presentations than the PMM-deficient patients. These differences arise from other defects affecting the biosynthesis of N-linked oligosaccharides in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the Golgi compartment. The most notable is the loss of phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) (CDGS type Ib). It causes severe hypoglycemia, protein-losing enteropathy, vomiting, diarrhea, and congenital hepatic fibrosis. In contrast to PMM-deficiency, there is no developmental delay nor neuropathy. Most symptoms in the PMI-deficient patients can be successfully treated with dietary mannose supplements. Another defect is the lack of glucosylation of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor. The clinical features of this form of CDGS are milder, but similar to, PMM-deficient patients. Yeast genetic and biochemical techniques were critical in unraveling these disorders since many of the defective genes were known in yeast and corresponding mutants were available for complementation. Yeast strains carrying mutations in the homologous genes are likely to provide conclusive identification of the primary defects in novel CDGS types that affect the synthesis and transfer of precursor oligosaccharides.

Physicians have become accustomed to thinking of certain inborn errors of metabolism (e.g., lysosomal, peroxisomal, and mitochondrial diseases) as being associated with specific subcellular organelles. In recent years, a family of disorders of N-glycosylation has been recognized, in which the metabolic defect is expressed in the cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. These could be conveniently thought of as "prelysosomal" disorders. At least six of these entities are characterized by hypoglycosylation of many glycoconjugates, and have been designated as the carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndromes. Given the ubiquity of the products of N-glycosylation in the cellular economy, it is not surprising that these defects in metabolism have protean clinical manifestations. Delayed development and other neurologic symptoms are wedded to variable dysfunctions of the heart, liver, and endocrine and coagulation systems. Patients can have dysmorphic features or cerebellar hypoplasia, attesting to the antenatal expression of these disorders. The most frequently recognized phenotype (several hundred cases worldwide) has been designated carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type la, and results from mutations in phosphomannomutase, a cytosolic enzyme involved in the synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide that is eventually attached to nascent glycoproteins through the amide group of asparagine residues. All forms of carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome express an excess of hypoglycosylated isoforms of circulating transferrin, which serves as a useful screening tool. Physicians should consider screening for carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome in individuals with delayed development, seizures, strokelike episodes, cerebellar hypoplasia, and demyelinating neuropathy with or without other signs of multisystem disease.

We have identified the PMM2 genotypes of 22 unrelated Danish patients with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1A: R141H/F119L (18), R141H/C192G (1), F119L/F119L (1), F119L/G117R (1) and D223E/T237R (1). The lack of patients homozygous for R141H is statistically highly significant, but unexplained. In order to investigate the effect of PMM2 mutations on phosphomannomutase (PMM2) activity, PMM2-cDNA was cloned into a pET3a vector. Following introduction of mutations into PMM2-cDNA by site-specific mutagenesis, wild type and mutant PMM2-cDNA were expressed in E. coli Bl21(DE3) cells, and the activity of PMM2 was determined by an enzymatic assay using mannose 1-phosphate as substrate. Recombinant R141H, G117R, and T237R PMM2 had no detectable catalytic activity, and the F119L PMM2 had 25% of the activity of the wild type. The activity of the C192G and D223E PMM2 was in the normal range, but the affinity for their substrate was lower, and the proteins were more sensitive to increased temperatures. Each patient has at least one mutation which retains residual PMM2 activity. Our results support the hypotheses that a genotype conveying residual PMM2 catalytic activity is required for survival, and that homozygosity for R141H impairs PMM2 to a degree incompatible with life.
