Patient-derived gene and protein expression signatures of NGLY1 deficiency [PDF]
Abstract N-Glycanase 1 (NGLY1) deficiency is a rare and complex genetic disorder. Although recent studies have shed light on the molecular underpinnings of NGLY1 deficiency, a systematic characterization of gene and protein expression changes in patient-derived cells has been lacking.

NGLY1 Deficiency: A Rare Genetic Disorder Unlocks Therapeutic Potential for Common Diseases
Abstract The enzyme catalysing the removal of N‐linked glycans from misfolded glycoproteins in the cytosol is an evolutionary well‐conserved glycanase called Peptide:N‐glycanase (PNGase; NGLY1 in humans). NGLY1 hydrolyses the amide bond between an Asn and the proximal N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) of the attached N‐glycan, thereby converting that ...

Abstract Congenital disorders of glycosylation are genetic disorders that occur due to defects in protein and lipid glycosylation pathways. A deficiency of N‐glycanase 1, encoded by the NGLY1 gene, results in a congenital disorder of deglycosylation.

NGLY1‐CDDG is a rare and recently identified congenital deglycosylation disorder that impairs motor function. Motoneurons (MNs) derived from NGLY1‐deficient patients are co‐cultured with skeletal muscle in a neuromuscular junction microphysiological system.

N-Glycanase 1 Transcriptionally Regulates Aquaporins Independent of Its Enzymatic Activity
Summary: Patients with pathogenic mutations in NGLY1 cannot make tears and have global developmental delay and liver dysfunction. Traditionally, NGLY1 cleaves intact N-glycans from misfolded, retrotranslocated glycoproteins before proteasomal degradation.

Off‐target inhibition of NGLY1 by the polycaspase inhibitor Z‐VAD‐fmk induces cellular autophagy
Inhibition of NGLY1 by polycaspase inhibitor Z‐VAD‐fmk in HEK293 cells leads to induction of autophagy and increase in autophagosome formation rather than disruption of autophagic flux. Similarly, autophagy induction is observed with NGLY1 siRNA knockdown.

Background. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the worst and most common malignant tumors. This study is aimed at studying the complex interaction between glycosylation‐related genes and HNSCC. Methods. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) contains gene expression profile data of HNSCC and normal tissues, as well as patient survival and ...

Loss of N-Glycanase 1 Alters Transcriptional and Translational Regulation in K562 Cell Lines
N-Glycanase 1 (NGLY1) deficiency is an ultra-rare, complex and devastating neuromuscular disease. Patients display multi-organ symptoms including developmental delays, movement disorders, seizures, constipation and lack of tear production.

NGLY1 Deficiency Zebrafish Model Manifests Abnormalities of the Nervous and Musculoskeletal Systems
Background: NGLY1 is an enigmatic enzyme with multiple functions across a wide range of species. In humans, pathogenic genetic variants in NGLY1 are linked to a variable phenotype of global neurological dysfunction, abnormal tear production, and liver ...

Objectives. Yang and Yin are two main concepts responsible for harmonious balance reflecting health conditions based on Chinese medicine theory. Of note, deficiency of either Yang or Yin is associated with disease susceptibility. In this study, we aim to clarify the molecular feature of Yang and Yin deficiency by reanalyzing a transcriptomic data set ...
