Congenital disorders of glycosylation: an update on defects affecting the biosynthesis of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides [PDF]
Defects in the biosynthesis of the oligosaccharide precursor for N-glycosylation lead to decreased occupancy of glycosylation sites and thereby to diseases known as congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG).

Abnormal hypermethylation at imprinting control regions in patients with S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY) deficiency [PDF]
S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder in methionine metabolism caused by mutations in the AHCY gene.

Insufficient ER-stress response causes selective mouse cerebellar granule cell degeneration resembling that seen in congenital disorders of glycosylation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are inherited diseases caused by glycosylation defects. Incorrectly glycosylated proteins induce protein misfolding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Stroke-Like Episodes in PMM2-CDG: When the Lack of Other Evidence Is the Only Evidence
Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG) is the most frequent congenital disorder of glycosylation. PMM2-CDG patients develop chronic cerebellar atrophy as a neurological hallmark.

Genetic and structural validation of phosphomannomutase as a cell wall target in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic mold responsible for severe life-threatening fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. The cell wall, an essential structure composed of glucan, chitin, and galactomannan, is considered to be a target for ...

Effect of mutations found in carbohydrate‐deficient glycoprotein syndrome type IA on the activity of phosphomannomutase 2 [PDF]
Seven mutant forms of human phosphomannomutase 2 were produced in Escherichia coli and purified. These mutants had a V max of 0.2–50% of the wild enzyme and were unstable. The least active protein (R141H) bears a very frequent mutation, which has never been found in the homozygous state whereas the second least active protein (D188G) corresponds to a ...

Evolutionary rescue of phosphomannomutase deficiency in yeast models of human disease [PDF]
The most common cause of human congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are mutations in the phosphomannomutase gene PMM2, which affect protein N-linked glycosylation. The yeast gene SEC53 encodes a homolog of human PMM2. We evolved 384 populations of

N-glycosylation site occupancy in serum glycoproteins using multiple reaction monitoring liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry [PDF]
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a family of N-linked glycosylation defects associated with severe clinical manifestations. In CDG type-I, deficiency of lipid-linked oligosaccharide assembly leads to the underoccupancy of N-glycosylation ...

Phosphomannomutase deficiency (PMM2-CDG): Ataxia and cerebellar assessment [PDF]
Background: Phosphomannomutase deficiency (PMM2-CDG) is the most frequent congenital disorder of glycosylation. The cerebellum is nearly always affected in PMM2-CDG patients, a cerebellar atrophy progression is observed, and cerebellar dysfunction is ...
