Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mannose trimming of N-glycan regulates endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation of misfolded glycoproteins. In this study, we found that EDEM2, a putative ER-localized mannosidase, was stably disulfide-bounded to TXNDC11, an ER-localized protein with five thioredoxin-like domains. This covalent association was essential for mannose trimming and glycoprotein degradation. We also clearly demonstrated for the first time that EDEM2-TXNDC11 complex purified from culture cells had mannosidase activity against N-glycan in vitro.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究によるEDEM2-TXNDC11複合体のマンノシダーゼ活性検出により、遺伝子破壊解析の知見から我々が提唱していた小胞体のマンノース刈り込みの分子機構が生化学的にも立証された。小胞体における不要タンパク質の分解は、細胞の生命活動において不可欠な機構である。TXNDC11によるEDEM2の活性制御の発見とEDEMタンパク質の酵素活性の測定法の確立により、その分子機構の理解がより深まると期待される。
