Gene Description

GANAB is the catalytic alpha subunit of the ER-lumen glucosidase II heterodimer with PRKCSH. It removes the two inner glucose residues from immature N-linked glycans, coupling glycan maturation to the calnexin/calreticulin folding cycle. Its glycan-processing activity supports maturation and trafficking of client glycoproteins, including polycystin-1 and polycystin-2. Pathogenic GANAB variants cause cystic kidney and liver disease.

Proposed New Ontology Terms

Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 oligosaccharide glucosidase activity

Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: a monoglucosylated Glc1Man9GlcNAc2-protein + H2O = a Man9GlcNAc2-protein + D-glucose, removing the remaining glucose residue from the high-mannose N-linked glycan.

Justification: Human glucosidase II complexes hydrolyze both Glc1 and Glc2 substrates in PMID:10929008. The current GO:0106407 definition describes only Glc2-to-Glc1 hydrolysis, yet the production FlyBase GO-CAM 680ad14200001222 types two Gcs2alpha (FB:FBgn0027588) activities, 680ad14200001292 and 680ad14200001231, as GO:0106407 and links them by RO:0002413. Both enabled_by assertions use human UniProtKB:Q14697 as their ISS source. Their placement between glucosidase I and mannosidase, together with the primary chemistry, supports interpreting them as the successive inner-glucose removals; the model does not explicitly encode the intermediate glycans. The local dmel_n_glycan_processing module likewise uses GO:0106407 for both removals, and projects/GLYCOBIOLOGY/cazy2go.generated.terms.yaml records the ec2go-derived EC:3.2.1.207-to-GO:0106407 mapping. The latter is a retained generated mapping, not a newly retrieved ec2go release. RHEA:56000 also crossreferences GO:0106407 for the final-glucose reaction. These positive usage records supersede a null ontology search as the basis for reconciliation. The preferred resolution is to reconcile or broaden the existing term definition to cover its documented two-step usage, preserving the current model and module typing. This NTR remains conditional: if curators retain the Glc2-only definition and create a separate final-glucose term, the downstream GO-CAM activity and the final-step representation within the combined module would need specific retyping; the Glc2 activity should retain GO:0106407. The definition uses D-glucose because the inspected human assays do not establish product-anomer stereochemistry. RHEA beta-D-glucose and the retaining GH31 mechanism warrant an explicit question, not an asserted source defect. GO:0015926 remains the conservative generic parent; the actual GO:0106407 is_a GO:0090599 edge is acknowledged despite their conflicting product wording. The original HPLC substrates had the reported GlcNAc1 reducing end; the glycoprotein GlcNAc2 representation follows the curated reaction. No incoming evidence field or new original annotation is introduced.

Summary: GANAB was recovered in the human HeLa mRNA-contact proteome (PMID:22658674).
Reason: Original Table S1 contains GANAB/ENSG00000089597 among significant interactome proteins after UV crosslinking and stringent oligo(dT) purification. The assay supports RNA contact, rather than a protein co-immunoprecipitation alone. It does not identify a GANAB RNA target, regulatory mechanism, or natural splice product, and GANAB-specific GFP validation was not inspected. Retain this contextual activity outside the glycan-trimming core. The significant-list inclusion is supported by the ion-count route, whereas the DESeq comparison gives adjusted P=0.930; the target also appears in whole-cell lysate. GANAB has a signal peptide and a mature ER-lumen location, so this experiment does not establish how it encounters RNA in intact cells. These method and topology limits do not by themselves prove an abundance artifact or a false-positive identification.

Summary: The glycoside-hydrolase assignment can be specified to the demonstrated Glc2 N-glycan reaction.
Reason: The InterPro IPR000322 assignment recognizes the glycosyl-hydrolase architecture. Human GANAB-containing glucosidase II directly removes glucose from Glc2Man9-containing glycans in PMID:10929008. GO:0106407 is the defined Glc2-to-Glc1 oligosaccharide reaction and is more informative than the broad O-glycosyl hydrolase term. The same human complexes also cleave the remaining glucose from the monoglucosylated glycan in PMID:10929008. That final-glucose reaction is represented by a conditional proposed term corresponding to RHEA:56000. Reconciliation of the existing GO:0106407 definition with its documented two-step usage is preferred; the separate proposal is retained for consideration if curators instead preserve the current Glc2-only definition.

Summary: GANAB forms the catalytic alpha/beta glucosidase II heterodimer with PRKCSH.
Reason: PMID:10929008 directly characterizes the human alpha/beta association, reconstitution, solubility and retention of glucosidase II. The explicit PRKCSH partner is the non-identical beta subunit, supporting protein heterodimerization rather than an uninformative generic protein-binding annotation. Single-human-subunit baculovirus preparations could associate with insect subunits, so those preparations are not treated as isolated human alpha monomers.

Summary: The conserved glucosidase II activity is retained with the correct oligosaccharide substrate term.
Reason: The current official GO:0033919 definition describes terminal cleavage in alpha-1,3-glucan polymers. The human assays in PMID:10929008 instead characterize glucosylated high-mannose oligosaccharides, including Glc2-to-Glc1 cleavage, which GO:0106407 names explicitly. Replace the term by that demonstrated chemistry. This is a substrate-based lateral correction between sibling activities, not a claim that GO:0106407 is its descendant or that conserved GANAB catalysis has been lost. The actual target AN77 descends from the PTN002734202/AN68 assertion; catalytic D542/D618 are conserved, and target self-evidence is legitimate. The phylogenetic placement remains supported while the transferred term is corrected. The same human complexes also cleave the remaining glucose from the monoglucosylated glycan in PMID:10929008. That final-glucose reaction is represented by a conditional proposed term corresponding to RHEA:56000.

Summary: GANAB alpha-glucosidase activity has an established N-glycan substrate specificity.
Reason: The 2017 PCLD study supports GANAB-dependent protein biogenesis and the curated activity assertion; its exact activity experiment was not recovered independently from the abstract-only cache and failed original routes. Independent human enzyme experiments in PMID:10929008 directly establish the specific Glc2 N-glycan reaction. Refine the broad alpha-glucosidase term to GO:0106407 on that combined evidence, without claiming the inaccessible experiment was erroneous or that every alpha-glucoside is a physiological substrate. The same human complexes also cleave the remaining glucose from the monoglucosylated glycan in PMID:10929008. That final-glucose reaction is represented by a conditional proposed term corresponding to RHEA:56000. Reconciliation of the existing GO:0106407 definition with its documented two-step usage is preferred; the separate proposal is retained for consideration if curators instead preserve the current Glc2-only definition. The actual ontology has GO:0106407 is_a GO:0090599, so this is a refinement in the current graph. The conflicting alpha/beta product wording is an unresolved definition/reaction issue, not evidence that this typed edge is absent or that GANAB has lost alpha-glucosidase chemistry.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: GANAB occurs in the noncancer urinary-vesicle proteomic pools.
Reason: Original Supplemental Table 2 of PMID:23533145 contains Q14697/GANAB with 6 and 5 unique peptides in the two noncancer pools and 0 in the prostate-cancer pools. This supports urinary-vesicle-fraction detection under the reported preparation/MS conditions, not a general absence in cancer or a cancer-specific role. The preparation and common co-isolated proteins limit topology claims; no particular natural splice product is established.

GO:0017177 glucosidase II complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: GANAB is the inherited catalytic alpha component of glucosidase II.
Reason: The actual PTN002734202/AN68 IBD places glucosidase II complex membership in the clade containing human AN77/Q14697. The target sequence is exact and the human self-source is legitimate descendant experimental evidence. Original human alpha/beta experiments independently establish the heterodimer; there is no target-specific loss or discordant tree placement.

PANTHER:PTN002734202 SUPPORTS TRANSFER
The actual ancestral assertion, target descent and experimental descendant records support complex membership; the human self-source is expected, not circular.

IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: The electronic complex annotation agrees with directly established human glucosidase II.
Reason: The electronic inference matches the human GANAB–PRKCSH alpha/beta complex characterized in PMID:10929008 and the exact normal Reactome component chain. This is a central complex membership, not an interaction-derived guess of an unrelated pathway role.

ACCEPT
Summary: The human enzyme study directly establishes GANAB membership in glucosidase II.
Reason: PMID:10929008 tests recombinant human alpha and beta subunits, their association and reconstituted glycan-cleaving activity. Both characterized long alpha splice products form the functional enzyme with beta. This supports complex membership; single-subunit insect-cell preparations that can recruit insect partners do not establish a physiologically isolated human alpha enzyme.

ACCEPT
Summary: The observed alpha/beta interaction supports the defined glucosidase II complex.
Reason: The source interaction is between catalytic GANAB and regulatory/retention subunit PRKCSH within a characterized functional heterodimer, with activity and solubility/retention experiments in the same study. Retain the complex term at the literal IPI evidence code. The interaction is not treated merely as generic binding or as proof that every short predicted GANAB product assembles.

Core Functions

Catalyzes hydrolysis of the diglucosylated high-mannose N-glycan to its monoglucosylated form as the alpha subunit of ER-lumen glucosidase II. The human GANAB–PRKCSH enzyme directly performs this early N-glycan-trimming step; PRKCSH association supports activity, solubility and retention. This is the first of the two inner-glucose removals summarized by the single primary-source excerpt below; the final-glucose reaction is described in the second core.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:10929008
    two innermost alpha-1,3-linked glucose residues
  • Reactome:R-HSA-532667

Catalyzes removal of the remaining glucose from a monoglucosylated high-mannose N-glycan in the ER lumen. The human GANAB-containing complexes cleave Glc1 substrates in the original assays, and the curated RHEA:56000 reaction represents this final-glucose hydrolysis on a glycoprotein. This is the second direct catalytic step of glucosidase II, distinct from the Glc2-to-Glc1 activity. The proposed molecular-function name is provisional while the existing GO:0106407 definition and its broader production-model usage are reconciled.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What N-glycan clients beyond the studied polycystins are most sensitive to partial GANAB loss in relevant human tissues?

Q: Does the very short Q14697-3 transcript produce a stable natural protein, and if so does it have any independent function?

Q: Which GANAB RNA contacts and vesicle/melanosome associations persist with target-specific validation and controls for secretory-system co-isolation?

Q: How should the product-anomer representation in RHEA:55996/RHEA:56000 and GO:0106407 be reconciled with the retaining GH31 mechanism and the alpha-D-glucose wording of GO:0090599? The inspected human GANAB assays establish glucose removal but do not independently resolve product-anomer stereochemistry.
