The genes rfbK and rfbM from the rfb cluster (O-antigen biosynthesis) of Salmonella enterica, group B, encoding for the enzymes phosphomannomutase (EC 5.4.2.8) and GDP-alpha-D-mannose pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.13) were overexpressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3) with specific activities of 0.1 U/mg and 0.3-0.6 U/mg, respectively. Both enzymes were partially purified to give specific activities of 0.26 U/mg and 2.75 U/mg, respectively. Kinetic characterization of the homodimeric (108 kDa) GDP-alpha-D-mannose pyrophosphorylase revealed a K(m) for GTP and mannose-1-P of 0.2 mM and 0.01 mM with substrate surplus inhibition constants (Kis) of 10.9 mM and 0.7 mM, respectively. The product GDP-alpha-D-mannose gave a competitive inhibition with respect to GTP (Ki 14.7 microM) and an uncompetitive inhibition with respect to mannose-1-P (Ki 115 microM). Both recombinant enzymes were used for repetitive batch synthesis of GDP-alpha-D-mannose staring from D-mannose and GTP. In three subsequent batches 581 mg (960 mumol) GDP-alpha-D-mannose was synthesized with 80% average yield. The overall yield after product isolation was 22.9% (329 mumol, 199 mg).

The enzyme phosphomannomutase catalyzes the interconversion of mannose-1-phosphate (Man-1-P) and mannose-6-phosphate (Man-6-P). In mammalian cells the enzyme has to be activated by transfer of a phosphate group from a sugar-1.6-P2 (Guha, S.K. and Rose, Z.B. (1985) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 243, 168). In contrast, in the red alga Galdieria sulphuraria the co-substrate (Man-1.6-P2 or Glc-1.6-P2) is converted to the corresponding sugar monophosphate while the substrate is converted to the sugar bisphosphate in each reaction cycle. Evidence is presented that the same reaction mechanism occurs in spinach and yeast.

Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1 (CDG1 or Jaeken syndrome) is the prototype of a class of genetic multisystem disorders characterized by defective glycosylation of glycoconjugates. It is mostly a severe disorder which presents neonatally. There is a severe encephalopathy with axial hypotonia, abnormal eye movements and pronounced psychomotor retardation, as well as a peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar hypoplasia and retinitis pigmentosa. The patients show a peculiar distribution of subcutaneous fat, nipple retraction and hypogonadism. There is a 20% lethality in the first years of life due to severe infections, liver insufficiency or cardiomyopathy. CDG1 shows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and has been mapped to chromosome 16p. Most patients show a deficiency of phosphomannomutase (PMM)8, an enzyme necessary for the synthesis of GDP-mannose. We have cloned the PMM1 gene, which is on chromosome 22q13 (ref.9). We now report the identification of a second human PMM gene, PMM2, which is located on 16p13 and which encodes a protein with 66% identity to PMM1. We found eleven different missense mutations in PMM2 in 16 CDG1 patients from different geographical origins and with a documented phosphomannomutase deficiency. Our results give conclusive support to the biochemical finding that the phosphomannomutase deficiency is the basis for CDG1.

Patients with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS) Type 1 underglycosylate many glycoproteins by failing to add entire N-linked carbohydrate chains to them. The primary defect in these patients has been reported as a > 90% deficiency in phosphomannomutase activity (PMM), the enzyme that converts mannose-6-phosphate to mannose-1-phosphate. This lesion reduces both the amount and the size of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor. We have now analyzed the activity of PMM and the level of glycosylation in cultured fibroblasts as well as the level of blood mannose in seven CDGS Type 1 patients and their parents. All of these patients were approximately 95% deficient in PMM activity and their parents had an average of 51% of control PMM activity. Furthermore, parental fibroblasts showed reduced glycosylation and a higher proportion of truncated N-linked chains compared to those made by control fibroblasts. Addition of 0.25 mM mannose to the culture medium corrected both the underglycosylation and size of the oligosaccharide chains in CDGS Type 1 patients and their parents. Finally, serum from CDGS patients had considerably reduced mannose levels (5-40 microM) compared to normal controls (40-80 microM) and some parents were below normal (16-103 microM). These results suggest that the reduced blood mannose level is a consequence of the PMM deficiency. This is the first inherited disorder in human metabolism that shows a decrease in available mannose. Increasing blood mannose levels might correct some protein underglycosylation in these patients.

Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I (CDGI) is most often due to phosphomannomutase deficiency; paradoxically, the human phosphomannomutase gene PMM1 is located on chromosome 22, whereas the CDGI locus is on chromosome 16. We show that phosphomannomutases present in rat or human liver share with homogeneous recombinant PMM1 several kinetic properties and the ability to form an alkali- and NH2OH-sensitive phosphoenzyme with a subunit mass of approximately 30,000 Mr. However, they have a higher affinity for the activator mannose-1,6-bisphosphate than PMM1 and are not recognized by anti-PMM1 antibodies, indicating that they represent a related but different isozyme. Phosphomannomutases belong to a novel mutase family in which the active residue is a phosphoaspartyl or a phosphoglutamyl.

The effects on isoelectrofocusing patterns of serum glycoproteins were studied in a patient with CDG syndrome type I and phosphomannomutase deficiency during 3 weeks of continuous intravenous mannose infusion. Doses of 5.7 g/kg/day led to stable serum mannose levels up to 2.0 mmol/l and were well tolerated without signs of liver or renal toxicity. While most of the pathological glycoprotein patterns, including alpha1-antitrypsin, typical for CDG syndrome type I remained unchanged, mannose infusion led to a unique change of the isoelectrofocusing pattern of serum sialotransferrins with appearance of two extra bands after 3 weeks of treatment.

Phosphomannomutase (PMM) catalyzes the conversion of mannose-6-phosphate to mannose-1-phosphate, which is a substrate for the synthesis of GDP-mannose. This nucleotide sugar is then used in the synthesis of dolichol-phosphate-mannose, which is essential for N-linked glycosylation and thus the secretion of several glycoproteins as well as for the synthesis of glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) anchored proteins. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SEC53, a gene required for viability, encodes PMM. Given the importance of PMM in glycoprotein synthesis, it is surprising that very little is known about the enzyme in higher eukaryotes. Recently, an autosomal recessive human disease, Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I (CDGS-I) has been correlated with severely reduced PMM activity. Here we report the isolation of a cDNA encoding human PMM, a protein of 29 kDa that is 55% identical and 66% similar to yeast Sec53p. Northern blot analysis shows a single 1.4 kb transcript that is ubiquitously expressed, although levels vary markedly among tissues. Expression of the human cDNA in a temperature-sensitive mutant sec53 yeast strain confers growth at the restrictive temperature, strongly suggesting that this gene encodes a functional PMM. Finally, when expressed in BHK cells, PMM is localized exclusively to the cytosol corresponding to its localization in yeast.

In fibroblasts from five patients with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1, the incorporation of [2-3H] mannose into mannose phosphates, GDP-mannose, GDP-fucose, dolichol-P-mannose, lipid-linked oligosaccharides, and glycoprotein fraction was determined. We observed a 3- to 5-fold reduction of incorporation of radioactivity into mannose 1-phosphate, GDP-mannose, GDP-fucose, dolichol-P-mannose, and nascent glycoproteins. The incorporation of radioactivity into mannose 6-phosphate was normal. The formation of lipid linked oligosaccharides was only slightly affected (</=20%), but their size was severely reduced, mostly containing five or fewer residues. As a consequence, truncated oligosaccharides were transferred to newly synthesized glycoproteins. The metabolic changes can be explained by a deficiency of phosphomannomutase activity, which was reduced to </=10% of control.

Carbohydrate-deficient-glycoprotein syndrome type 1 (CDG1; also known as "Jaeken syndrome") is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defective glycosylation. Most patients show a deficiency of phosphomannomutase (PMM), the enzyme that converts mannose 6-phosphate to mannose 1-phosphate in the synthesis of GDP-mannose. The disease is linked to chromosome 16p13, and mutations have recently been identified in the PMM2 gene in CDG1 patients with a PMM deficiency (CDG1A). The availability of the genomic sequences of PMM2 allowed us to screen for mutations in 56 CDG1 patients from different geographic origins. By SSCP analysis and by sequencing, we identified 23 different missense mutations and 1 single-base-pair deletion. In total, mutations were found on 99% of the disease chromosomes in CDG1A patients. The R141H substitution is present on 43 of the 112 disease alleles. However, this mutation was never observed in the homozygous state, suggesting that homozygosity for these alterations is incompatible with life. On the other hand, patients were found homozygous for the D65Y and F119L mutations, which must therefore be mild mutations. One particular genotype, R141H/D188G, which is prevalent in Belgium and the Netherlands, is associated with a severe phenotype and a high mortality. Apart from this, there is only a limited relation between the genotype and the clinical phenotype.

Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) deficiency is the cause of a new type of carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS). The disorder is caused by mutations in the PMI1 gene. The clinical phenotype is characterized by protein-losing enteropathy, while neurological manifestations prevailing in other types of CDGS are absent. Using standard diagnostic procedures, the disorder is indistinguishable from CDGS type Ia (phosphomannomutase deficiency). Daily oral mannose administration is a successful therapy for this new type of CDG syndrome classified as CDGS type Ib.
