Glucosidase II (GII) is a key player in glycoprotein
biogenesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It catalizes the sequential
removal of the two innermost Glc residues from the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 glycan transferred to Asn residues in proteins.
GII is involved in the calnexin/calreticulin cycle as it removes the single Glc
unit added to folding intermediates and misfolded glycoproteins by the
UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase. GII is an ER heterodimer whose a subunit
(GIIa) holds the glycosyl
hydrolase active site whereas its b subunit
(GIIb) role is
controversial and has been suggested to be responsible for GIIa ER
retention and folding. Here we report that in the absence of GIIb, the
catalytic subunit GIIa of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces
pombe (an organism displaying a glycoprotein
folding quality control mechanism similar to that occurring in mammalian cells)
has an active conformation able to hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl a-D-glucopiranoside.
However, the heterodimer is required to efficiently deglucosylate the
physiological substrates Glc2Man9GlcNAc2 (G2M9) and Glc1Man9GlcNAc2
(G1M9). The interaction of the mannose 6-phosphate receptor homologous domain (MRH
domain) present in GIIb and
mannoses in the B and/or C arms of the oligosaccharide mediates glycan
hydrolysis enhancement. We also present evidence that in mammalian cells GIIb modulates G2M9 and
G1M9 trimming.
