Disease relevance of MAN2C1

  • RESULTS: We report the refinement of the linkage region for keratoconus with cataract to an interval of approximately 5.5 Mb flanked by the MAN2C1 gene and the D15S211 marker on chromosome 15q [1].
  • Fibroblasts from patients with mannosidosis, cultured in medium supplemented with fetal calf serum from which acidic alpha-mannosidase (alpha-D-mannoside mannohydrolase, E.C.3.2.1.24) has been removed, secreted a normal amount of apparently unaffected acidic alpha-mannosidase into fetal calf serum-free medium [2].
  • The deduced primary structure of MANA revealed a 458-amino acid sequence that exhibited identity with Bacillus and Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa mannanases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase Family 26 [3].
 

High impact information on MAN2C1

  • Histochemical localization of acidic alpha-D-mannoside mannohydrolase (EC 3.2. 1.24), using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside, showed that functional enzyme was present in neurons, glial cells, and cells associated with blood vessels [4].
  • Human alpha-mannosidase activity (alpha-D-mannoside mannohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.24) from tissues and cultured skin fibroblasts was separated by gel electrophoresis into a neutral, cytoplasmic form (alpha-mannosidase A) and two closely related acidic, lysosomal components (alpha-mannosidase B) [5].
  • Analysis of truncated derivatives of MANA confirmed that the N-terminal 458-residue sequence constituted the catalytic domain, while the C-terminal domain was not essential for the retention of catalytic activity [3].
  • Two cDNAs, designated xynA and manA, encoding xylanase A (XYLA) and mannanase A (MANA), respectively, were isolated from a cDNA library derived from mRNA extracted from the anaerobic fungus, Piromyces [3].
  • The nucleotide sequences of xynA and manA revealed open reading frames of 1875 and 1818 base pairs, respectively, coding for proteins of M(r) 68,049 (XYLA) and 68,055 (MANA) [3].
 

Biological context of MAN2C1

  • Changes in xanthophyll esterification degree during pepper fruit ripening have been studied in five cultivars (Numex, Mana, Belrubi, Delfin, and Negral) [6].
  • The tissue distribution and some properties of human alpha-mannosidase (alpha-D-mannoside mannohydrolase EC 3.2.1.24) have been studied [7].
  • This paper reports the preliminary findings on the reproductive performance of 52 Bhotia women from the Mana Valley (Uttar Pradesh; elevation 10 560 ft.), who had approached menopause [8].
 

Anatomical context of MAN2C1

 

Associations of MAN2C1 with chemical compounds

  • Assignment of cytoplasmic alpha-mannosidase (MANA) and confirmation of mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDHM) to the q11 leads to qter region of chromosome 15 in man [12].
  • The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides on tissue factor pathway inhibitor terminate with SO4-4GalNAc beta 1, 4GlcNAc beta 1,2 Mana alpha [13].
  • Quantitatively, Negral cultivar showed the highest increase in total carotenoid content (48. 39-fold), followed by Mana and Delfin with 38.03- and 36.8-fold, respectively, and by Belrubi and Numex with 28.03- and 23.48-fold, respectively [14].
  • In the present study, the cultivar Mana had the highest total carotenoid content (13 208 mg/kg dwt), but the lowest R/Y (1.25) and Caps/Zeax (3.38) ratios, which are therefore the parameters to improve [14].
  • Alpha-D-Mannosidase (alpha-D-mannoside mannohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.24) has been purified to homogeneity as demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation [15].
