LMAN1 is a molecular chaperone for the secretion of coagulation factor VIII.

Combined deficiency of both coagulation factors (F)V and VIII is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder caused by null expression of LMAN1 (previously termed ERGIC-53) in a majority of affected individuals. Previously, a requirement for a functional LMAN1 cycling pathway between the ER and Golgi was demonstrated for efficient secretion ...
of FV and FVIII (Moussalli et al. J Biol Chem 1999; 274: 32569), however, the molecular nature of the interaction between LMAN1 and its cargo was not characterized. Using coimmunoprecipitation of LMAN1 and FVIII from transfected HeLa and COS-1 cells, we demonstrate an interaction between LMAN1 and FVIII in vivo. The interaction was mediated via high mannose-containing asparagine-linked oligosaccharides that are densely situated within the B domain of FVIII, as well as protein-protein interactions. These results are interpreted based on the recent determination of the crystal structure of the carbohydrate recognition domain of LMAN1.
