In this study, the identification and characterization of the Yarrowia lipolytica homologues of Saccharomyces cerevisiae -1,6-mannosyltransferases Anp1p and Och1p, designated YlAnl1p and YlOch1p, are described. In order to confirm the function of the Y. lipolytica proteins, including the previously isolated YlMnn9p, in the N-glycosylation pathway, a phenotypic analysis of the disrupted strains Ylmnn9, Ylanl1, Yloch1, Ylanl1Ylmnn9 and Ylmnn9Yloch1 was performed. Disruption of the YlMNN9, YlANL1 and YlOCH1 genes caused an increased sensitivity to SDS, compatible with a glycosylation defect, and to Calcofluor White, characteristic of cell-wall defects. Moreover, Western-blot analysis of a heterologous glycosylated protein confirmed a direct role of YlMnn9p and YlAnl1p in the N-glycosylation process. These mutant strains, Ylmnn9, Ylanl1, Yloch1, Ylanl1Ylmnn9 and Ylmnn9Yloch1 may thus be used to establish a model for the Y. lipolytica N-linked glycosylation pathway.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the YlANL1 and YlOCH1 sequences reported in this paper are DS55218/138556 and DS55232/138580, respectively.
