Abstract:
:The uncovering enzyme (UCE) removes N-acetylglucosamine from lysosomal enzymes to uncover the mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) determinant necessary for targeting these enzymes to lysosomes. Failure to create the Man-6-P determinant is one cause of lysosomal storage diseases. Despite its medical importance, little structural information about UCE is available. In this report we have developed a model for the membrane proximal portion of the lumenal domain of UCE based on the structure of the EFG-3 and -4 domains of the extracellular segment of the beta chain of integrin alpha Vbeta 3. In this model the EGF-like domains of UCE (residues 285-345) are predicted to form a rod-shaped stalk region, similar to the stem region in Golgi glycosyltransferases. This stalk causes the proposed catalytic domain (residues 1-277) to be extended away from the Golgi membrane. A portion of the proposed catalytic domain (residues 85-256) resides in Cluster of Orthologous Group (COG) 4632 with four bacterial proteins but is not homologous to any known eukaryotic proteins. Thus, UCE may have evolved from the fusion of a unique catalytic domain with a common EGF-like stalk domain. We have determined by mass spectrometry that the four disulfide bonds of the proposed catalytic domain are located between Cys(2)-Cys(172), Cys(66)-Cys(99), Cys(83)-Cys(274), and Cys(258)-Cys(265). Finally, we determined that four of the six potential N-linked glycosylation sites are glycosylated (Asn 159, Asn 165, Asn 247, and Asn 317) in COS cells.
