A) Rationale/Aim: The Golgi-resident enzyme, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase (GNPT) initiates the addition of the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) moiety to the N-glycans of soluble lysosomal hydrolases. This modification is required for the targeting of these enzyme to lysosomes but how GNPT recognizes its structurally diverse substrates is unknown. The short-term goal of this work (the subject of this proposal) is to determine the structure of GNPT and insight into the basis for its substrate specificity. In the long-term we seek to fully describe the basis for GNPT's ability to specifically recognize its over 50 lysosomal enzyme substrates. B) Background: GNPT is a ~360 kDa complex composed of three subunits (a2ß2?2). Each of these subunits contain multiple domains that play different roles in binding and catalysis. Among these, the so-called stealth domain (a sugar-phosphate transferase domain in some bacteria) forms the catalytic core of GNPT and the N1, N2 and DMAP protein interaction domains are involved in substrate recognition. Notably, the ? subunit is not required for the recognition of some lysosomal enzymes and the protein interaction domains play different roles in the recognition of different substrates. C) Preliminary Results: We have expressed the human GNPTAB (the a and ß subunits are generated by proteolysis) and GNPTG cDNA's both separately and in combination using our PiggyBac-based mammalian cell expression system. Various forms of the enzyme have been characterized by negative strain EM and our preliminary cryo-EM analysis of one of them establishes that it can be successfully frozen in thin ice. The resulting 2D class averages from the cryo data provide evidence of 2-fold symmetry and a sample suitable for high-resolution structure determination. We have also expressed several lysosomal enzymes to be used in characterizing the specificity of GNPT. D) Approach: Single particle cryo-EM analysis will be used to determine the structure of various forms of GNPT. In addition, x-ray crystal structures of GNPT domains/fragments will be determined to add high resolution details. Key among the x-ray structures will be an active form of GNPT lacking the protein interaction domains and the entire ? subunit and two homologous bacterial stealth domains. In addition, biochemical analysis will be used to determine the role played by various GNPT domains/subunits in the recognition of selected lysosomal enzyme substrates. E) Outcomes: This work will lead to the first structure of GNPT and/or fragments of it including the catalytic core or stealth domain conserved across evolution. GNPT uses different domains to bind different lysosomal enzymes and the work will also provide insight into the structural and biochemical basis for that process.

A)原理/目的：高尔基驻留酶，udp - n -乙酰氨基葡萄糖-1-磷酸转移酶（GNPT）启动甘露糖-6-磷酸（M6P）部分添加到可溶性溶酶体水解酶的n -聚糖上。这种修饰是这些酶靶向溶酶体所必需的，但GNPT如何识别其结构多样的底物尚不清楚。这项工作的短期目标（本提案的主题）是确定GNPT的结构并深入了解其底物特异性的基础。从长远来看，我们寻求充分描述GNPT特异性识别其超过50溶酶体酶底物的能力的基础。B)背景：GNPT是由3个亚基（a2ß2?2）组成的~360 kDa复合物。这些亚基中的每一个都包含多个在结合和催化中起不同作用的结构域。其中，所谓的隐形结构域（某些细菌中的糖-磷酸转移酶结构域）是GNPT的催化核心，N1、N2和DMAP蛋白相互作用结构域参与底物识别。值得注意的是？某些溶酶体酶的识别不需要亚基，蛋白质相互作用域在不同底物的识别中起不同的作用。C)初步结果：我们利用基于piggybac的哺乳动物细胞表达系统分别表达了人类GNPTAB （a和ß亚基由蛋白水解产生）和GNPTG cDNA。各种形式的酶已经用负应变电镜进行了表征，我们对其中一种酶的初步低温电镜分析表明，它可以成功地冷冻在薄冰中。从低温数据中得到的二维类平均值提供了2倍对称性和适合高分辨率结构确定的样本的证据。我们还表达了几种溶酶体酶，用于表征GNPT的特异性。D)方法：将使用单颗粒低温电镜分析来确定各种形式的GNPT的结构。此外，将确定GNPT域/片段的x射线晶体结构，以增加高分辨率的细节。x射线结构的关键将是缺乏蛋白质相互作用结构域的GNPT活性形式和整个？亚基和两个同源细菌隐身结构域。此外，生化分析将用于确定各种GNPT结构域/亚基在识别选定的溶酶体酶底物中所起的作用。E)结果：这项工作将导致GNPT的第一个结构和/或其片段，包括催化核心或在进化过程中保守的隐形结构域。GNPT使用不同的结构域结合不同的溶酶体酶，这项工作也将为该过程的结构和生化基础提供见解。
