Mitotic phosphorylation inhibits the Golgi mannosidase MAN1A1.

ABSTRACT: N-glycans are processed mainly in the Golgi, and a well-organized Golgi structure is required for accurate glycosylation. However, during mitosis the Golgi undergoes severe fragmentation. The resulting trafficking block leads to an extended exposure of cargo molecules to Golgi enzymes. It is unclear how cells avoid glycosylation defects during mitosis. In this study, we report that Golgi α-1,2-mannosidase IA (MAN1A1), the first enzyme that cargo proteins encounter once arriving the Golgi, is phosphorylated at serine 12 by CDK1 in mitosis, which attenuates its activity, affects the production of glycan isomers, and reduces its interaction with the subsequent glycosyltransferase, MGAT1. Expression of wild-type MAN1A1, but not its phosphomimetic mutant, rescues the glycosylation defects in mannosidase I-deficient cells, whereas expression of its phosphorylation-deficient mutant in mitosis increases the formation of complex glycans. Our study reveals that glycosylation is regulated by cytosolic signaling during the cell cycle.
