| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We previously have found an endomannosidase (EM) activity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Since ER-EM will play important roles for releasing unfolded glycoproteins from the folding system, calnexin/calreticulin cycle, herein we synthesized inhibitors and substrates contributing functional analysis of this enzyme. To explore the origin of ER-EM activity, we examined blue native PAGE with MS/MS analysis. Moreover, we generated a recombinant enzyme of ER-EM candidate, resulted in the ER-localization of the candidate enzyme was also elucidated. Additionally, specificity analyses of calreticulin and UGGT that are related to functions of ER-EM, were also carried out.
