摘要:Deficiency of dolichyl-P-Glc:Man9GlcNAc2-PP-dolichyl glucosyltransferase is the cause of an additional type of carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS type V). Clinically this type resembles the classical type Ia of CDGS caused by the deficiency of phosphomannomutase. As a result of the glucosyltransferase deficiency in CDGS type V nonglucosylated lipid-linked oligosaccharides accumulate. The defect is leaky and glucosylated oligosaccharides are found on nascent glycoproteins. The limited availability of glucosylated lipid-linked oligosaccharides explains the incomplete usage of N-glycosylation sites in glycoproteins. This finding is reflected in the presence of transferrin forms in serum that lack one or both of the two N-linked oligosaccharides and the reduction of mannose incorporation to about one-third of control in glycoproteins of fibroblasts.
