Impaired Proteostasis is Linked to Neurological Pathology in a Zebrafish NGLY1 Deficiency Model [PDF]
ABSTRACT NGLY1 is a key enzyme in the process of misfolded protein deglycosylation. Bi‐allelic pathogenic variants in NGLY1 cause N‐glycanase deficiency, also known as congenital disorder of deglycosylation (NGLY1‐CDDG). This rare and multisystem autosomal recessive disorder is linked to a variable phenotype of global developmental delay, neuromuscular

Clinical and Molecular Features of Patients With Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation in Japan [PDF]
ABSTRACT Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by defects in various steps of the glycosylation pathway. There are over 200 known human glycosylation‐related disorders. Many of these defects lead to multisystemic manifestations, commonly involving the central nervous system, with symptoms ranging from ...

Degradation of unassembled, misfolded, and other defective proteins is mediated by a major quality control mechanism, named the endoplasmic reticulum‐associated protein degradation (ERAD). Throughout this manuscript, we present the various genetically manipulated higher cellular and mammalian animal models that were depleted for specific ERAD ...

Abstract Oligosaccharidoses, sphingolipidoses and mucolipidoses are lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) in which defective breakdown of glycan‐side chains of glycosylated proteins and glycolipids leads to the accumulation of incompletely degraded oligosaccharides within lysosomes. In metabolic laboratories, these disorders are commonly diagnosed by thin‐

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.

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.

Congenital Hypotonia: Cracking a SAGA of consanguineous kindred harboring four genetic variants
We report the molecular and biochemical basis of an extended highly consanguineous family with five children presenting severe congenital hypotonia who underwent a ‘diagnostic odyssey.’ We have identified a novel nonsense variant in NGLY1 in two affected siblings, and compound heterozygosity for three novel RYR1 variants in two affected sisters from ...

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 ...
