  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Protein N‐glycosylation is involved in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes such as autoimmunity, tumour progression and metastasis. Signal peptide peptidase‐like 3 (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SPPL</jats:styled-content>3) is an intramembrane‐cleaving aspartyl protease of the Gx<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">GD</jats:styled-content> type. Its physiological function, however, has remained enigmatic, since presently no physiological substrates have been identified. We demonstrate that <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SPPL</jats:styled-content>3 alters the pattern of cellular N‐glycosylation by triggering the proteolytic release of active site‐containing ectodomains of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases such as N‐acetylglucosaminyltransferase V, β‐1,3 N‐acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 and β‐1,4 galactosyltransferase 1. Cleavage of these enzymes leads to a reduction in their cellular activity. In line with that, reduced expression of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SPPL</jats:styled-content>3 results in a hyperglycosylation phenotype, whereas elevated <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SPPL</jats:styled-content>3 expression causes hypoglycosylation. Thus, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SPPL</jats:styled-content>3 plays a central role in an evolutionary highly conserved post‐translational process in eukaryotes.</jats:p>
