NGLY1 deficiency is a rare inherited disorder caused by mutations in the NGLY1 gene encoding N-glycanase 1 that is a hydrolase for N-linked glycosylated proteins. An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from the dermal fibroblasts of a 16-year-old patient with homozygous mutation of p.R401X (c.1201 A>T) in the NGLY1 gene. Our iPSC model offers a useful resource to study the disease pathophysiology and to develop therapeutics for treatment of NGLY1 patients.

Lactic acid (LA) is an essential glycolytic metabolite and energy source in the body, which is present in high levels in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is a reliable indicator for identifying inflammatory arthritis. LA not only acts as an inflammatory amplifier in RA, recent studies have found that novel posttranslational modification (PTM) lactylation mediated by LA may also play a key role in RA. Single-cell sequencing showed that the RA lactylation score of patients with RA was significantly increased, and core lactylation-promoting genes, including NDUFB3, NGLY1, and other genes, were found to be potential biomarkers of RA.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent synovitis, systemic inflammation, and autoantibody production. This study aims to explore the role of lactylation in plasma cells and its impact on RA pathogenesis.
Methods: We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data and applied bioinformatics and machine learning techniques.

Article Synopsis
- The protein PNGase helps manage other proteins by getting rid of the bad ones in our cells.
- A mutation in the gene for PNGase can lead to a condition called NGLY1 deficiency, which is not good for health.
- Scientists found out more about a related protein called FBS2, which might be a good target for new drugs to help treat NGLY1 deficiency.

The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase (NGLY1) is ubiquitously expressed and functions as a de-N-glycosylating enzyme that degrades misfolded N-glycosylated proteins. NGLY1 deficiency due to biallelic loss-of-function NGLY1 variants is an ultrarare autosomal recessive deglycosylation disorder with multisystemic involvement; the neurological manifestations represent the main disease burden. Currently, there is no treatment for this disease.
