Abstract
In eukaryotes, class I α-mannosidases are involved in early N-glycan processing reactions and in N-glycan–dependent quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To investigate the role of these enzymes in plants, we identified the ER-type α-mannosidase I (MNS3) and the two Golgi-α-mannosidase I proteins (MNS1 and MNS2) from Arabidopsis thaliana. All three MNS proteins were found to localize in punctate mobile structures reminiscent of Golgi bodies. Recombinant forms of the MNS proteins were able to process oligomannosidic N-glycans. While MNS3 efficiently cleaved off one selected α1,2-mannose residue from Man9GlcNAc2, MNS1/2 readily removed three α1,2-mannose residues from Man8GlcNAc2. Mutation in the MNS genes resulted in the formation of aberrant N-glycans in the mns3 single mutant and Man8GlcNAc2 accumulation in the mns1 mns2 double mutant. N-glycan analysis in the mns triple mutant revealed the almost exclusive presence of Man9GlcNAc2, demonstrating that these three MNS proteins play a key role in N-glycan processing. The mns triple mutants displayed short, radially swollen roots and altered cell walls. Pharmacological inhibition of class I α-mannosidases in wild-type seedlings resulted in a similar root phenotype. These findings show that class I α-mannosidases are essential for early N-glycan processing and play a role in root development and cell wall biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.Keywords
