초록

영어
The opportunistic human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is the main causative agent of fungal meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised patients. The mannoprotein MP84 of C. neoformans, reported as an adhesion protein and as an immunoreactive antigen to host CD4(+) T cell, is highly mannosylated cell wall protein. In this study, we investigated the structure of N-glycans attached on MP84 and the effect of altered N-glycan structures on its interaction with host cells. We expressed the His tagged MP84 as a secretory form in WT and alg3Δ mutant, a N-glycosylation defective strain, to generate MP84 with the truncated core N-glycans. In in-vitro adhesion and uptake assay, the purified MP84 proteins carrying the truncated N-glycans did not show significant difference in host cell interactions compared to MP84 carrying the WT N-glycans. Moreover, we expressed a secretory MP84 lacking N-glycosylation site, constructed by protein engineering, to investigate the effect of full-deglycosylation on the interaction with MP84 with host cells. Aglycosylated MP84 revealed much higher adhesion affinity to host cells than MP84 carrying the WT and truncated N-glycans. On contrast, aglycosylated MP84 still retains the cytokine induction activity comparable to WT, although MP84 with truncated N-glycans showed a decreased immunostimulatory activity. In conclusion, the mixed effects of N-glycan structures of MP84 on the interaction with host cells strongly suggest the modulatory role of N-glycans to avoid non-specific interaction with host cells.
