Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention of misfolded glycoproteins is mediated by the ER‐localized eukaryotic glycoprotein secretion checkpoint, UDP‐glucose glycoprotein glucosyl‐transferase (UGGT). The enzyme recognizes a misfolded glycoprotein and flags it for ER retention by re‐glucosylating one of itsN‐linked glycans. In the background of a congenital mutation in a secreted glycoprotein gene, UGGT‐mediated ER retention can cause rare disease, even if the mutant glycoprotein retains activity (“responsive mutant”). Using confocal laser scanning microscopy, we investigated here the subcellular localization of the human Trop‐2‐Q118E, E227K and L186P mutants, which cause gelatinous drop‐like corneal dystrophy (GDLD). Compared with the wild‐type Trop‐2, which is correctly localized at the plasma membrane, these Trop‐2 mutants are retained in the ER. We studied fluorescent chimeras of the Trop‐2 Q118E, E227K and L186P mutants in mammalian cells harboring CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated inhibition of theUGGT1and/orUGGT2genes. The membrane localization of the Trop‐2 Q118E, E227K and L186P mutants was successfully rescued inUGGT1−/−cells. UGGT1 also efficiently reglucosylated Trop‐2‐Q118E‐EYFPin cellula. The study supports the hypothesis that UGGT1 modulation would constitute a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of pathological conditions associated to misfolded membrane glycoproteins (whenever the mutation impairs but does not abrogate function), and it encourages the testing of modulators of ER glycoprotein folding quality control as broad‐spectrum rescue‐of‐secretion drugs in rare diseases caused by responsive secreted glycoprotein mutants.
