The synthesis of beta-glucanase either by cells or by protoplasts of the yeast Pichia polymorpha has been found to occur in the presence of 2-deoxy-D-glucose in the growth medium. On the other hand, the synthesis of typical extracellular proteins such as invertase and acid phosphatase is strongly affected by the presence of the drug. The degree of inhibition is, however, directly related to the 2-deoxy-D-glucose concentration.

The stability and activity of three hydrolytic enzymes, acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2), beta-fructofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.26), and beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.4), were studied at 30 degrees C in two-phase systems. They were prepared with equal quantities of buffered water and a water-immiscible organic solvent. Low-molecular-weight acetates and paraffins were tested in this investigation. The kinetic constant of storage inactivation was correlated with the logarithm of solvent polarity. Enzyme stability in the presence of organic phases, whose log P value was included in 1.2-2.2, was greater than the one measured in pure buffered aqueous media. On the other hand, a dramatic enzyme denaturation took place making use of solvents at higher log P-value. Experiments carried out during the 24-h operation clarified that the reaction yield does not depend solely on solvent polarity. Acid phosphatase and beta-glucosidase, which are less resistant than beta-fructofuranosidase to temperature and shear in buffered solutions, showed especially significant enhancement of catalytic activity when hydrolysis was performed with the addition of acetates (50% v/v).

The extracellular domain of human tissue factor (TF, amino acids 1-217) was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using the inducible yeast acid phosphatase promoter and the yeast invertase signal sequence to direct its secretion into the culture broth. Two active soluble forms sTF alpha (high molecular weight form) and sTF beta (low molecular weight form) were purified, the yield being approximately 10 and 1 mg/liter of culture supernatant, respectively. sTF alpha had an apparent molecular mass of 150 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and contained more than 200 residues of mannose/mol of protein. sTF beta had an apparent molecular mass of 37 kDa and contained 22 residues of mannose/mol of protein. N-Glycosidase F treatments of both rTFs reduced the apparent molecular mass to 35 kDa. The amino-terminal sequences and amino acid compositions of sTF alpha and sTF beta were consistent with those deduced from the cDNA sequence, thereby indicating that the difference in molecular mass is caused by heterogeneity of oligosaccharide structures. Of these recombinant TFs, sTF beta enhanced factor VIIa-amidolytic activity 40-fold toward the chromogenic substrate and 147-fold toward the fluorogenic substrate, affecting mainly the kcat value. The enhancement was comparable with that of TF purified from human placenta. The TF-mediated enhancement of factor VIIa-amidolytic activity was inhibited by heparin-activated antithrombin III, forming a high molecular weight complex. As treatment of sTF beta with denaturants such as guanidine hydrochloride or urea led to a biphasic loss of the activity, the extracellular domain of TF probably consists of two discrete domains. This expression system provides a significant amount of the extracellular domain of TF so that studies of interactions with factor VII are feasible.

Interactions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall proteins with purified yeast glucane were studied. Using the beta-glucanase (BGL2 gene product) as the model cell wall protein, strong binding to glucane was demonstrated at pH lower than 7, while at pH higher than 8 the reaction did not occur. NaCl (2 M) did not influence the binding, while urea in concentrations higher than 4 M affected the interactions. It was also found that most other cell wall proteins, as well as intracellular proteins, reacted with glucane in the same way, showing that the interactions of proteins with glucane are rather nonspecific. Soluble periplasmic proteins invertase and acid phosphatase failed to react with glucane under the same conditions, indicating that these proteins have certain structural features preventing their interactions with glucane.

Extracellular glucoamylase activity was increased by a gene, which is present in super-secretor, but absent in low-secretor, strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Genetic data indicated that this super-secretor gene is linked to the STA3 structural gene for glucoamylase. This gene appears to act specifically since it increased the secretion of glucoamylase but not of other secreted enzymes like acid phosphatase and invertase.

Seven mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in production of extracellular glucoamylase have been analyzed. For each of the seven a monogenic pattern of inheriting the mutant phenotype has been observed. The mutations have been shown to map within five different genetic loci, three independent mutations affecting the STA2 locus and the other four residing in four formerly unidentified genes. As expected, the sta2 mutants recover the wild phenotype when transformed with a STA2-bearing multicopy plasmid. Such reversion has also been observed for the transformed stall mutant. Unlike the others, the sta16 mutant is unable to secrete heterologous alpha-amylase encoded by a plasmid-borne DNA fragment. All the mutants have a moderately reduced ability to secrete the invertase and acid phosphatase.

DNA segments encoding signal peptides from mouse alpha-amylase, yeast acid phosphatase, and yeast invertase were fused in frame to a barley (1-3,1-4)-beta-glucanase cDNA gene and expressed in yeast cells under the control of the phosphoglycerate kinase gene promoter. Pure beta-glucanase is obtained by gel filtration of concentrated yeast cell supernatant. It was shown that the glucanase pre-protein was specifically processed and the mature protein efficiently secreted when the yeast invertase signal sequence directed secretion.

Each of the three high-mannose type glycoproteins studied, acid phosphatase, invertase, and glucose oxidase, could be specifically cross-linked through its carbohydrate chains. The procedure involves periodate oxidation of carbohydrate residues followed by reaction of the generated aldehyde groups with adipic acid dihydrazide as a cross-linker. The amount and size as well as solubility of the formed polymers could be efficiently controlled by varying the reaction conditions, i.e., the oxidation degree and the concentrations of glycoproteins, cross-linker, and hydrogen ions during the cross-linking reaction. It was found that the quantity and size of polymers increased with oxidation degree and protein concentration and by lowering the pH. When the protein concentration was above and pH below certain values, depending on the glycoenzyme, insoluble polymers formed. The soluble cross-linked polymers retained a high level of original activity, and the minor decrease in specific activity noticed was shown to occur during the periodate oxidation step. The cross-linked glycoenzymes are much more resistant to denaturation by high temperature and by changes in pH, demonstrating the usefulness of this method in preparation of the stabilized glycoprotein derivatives.

The intestinal microvilli of fetal origin in human amniotic fluid were purified by Ca2+ precipitation of contaminating organelles followed by differential centrifugation of microvillar membranes. In the purified preparation, the specific activity of the microvillar marker-enzymes maltase and sucrase increased about 77-fold over that in cell-free amniotic fluid. Significant contamination of the purified preparation by endoplasmic reticulum (microsomes) and lysosomes was ruled out on the basis of a low content of the marker enzymes glucose-6-phosphatase (microsomes) and acid phosphatase (lysosomes). Amniotic fluid microvilli contain typical enzymes of the fetal intestine including maltase, sucrase, trehalase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyltransferase, and their morphology by electron microscopy resembles that of vesiculated intestinal microvilli. Prenatal detection of genetic diseases due to a deficiency of a protein expressed in these membranes or associated to abnormal microvilli seems feasible.

A set of protein hybrids composed of variable portions of the amino-terminal residues of the yeast phosphate-repressible acid phosphatase (product of PHO5) and an active fragment of bacterial beta-galactosidase has been constructed. When these PHO5-LACZ hybrids are expressed in a yeast strain carrying an intact chromosomal PHO5 gene, they show a size-dependent interference with the secretion of native acid phosphatase. Hybrid proteins containing approximately 50 residues of acid phosphatase do not affect secretion of native acid phosphatase. Hybrids containing greater than 200 residues of acid phosphatase reduce the amount of secreted acid phosphatase more than by 50%. The interference with secretion is specific for acid phosphatase. The hybrids do not affect secretion of invertase, and do not confer a growth-deficient phenotype on yeast. Both the hybrid proteins and acid phosphatase accumulate in non-glycosylated, membrane-bound forms which are sensitive to proteolysis from the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. The hybrids and accumulated acid phosphatase co-migrate on Percoll density gradients with markers of the endoplasmic reticulum, but not with markers of the Golgi or secretory vesicles. These results suggest that PHO5-LACZ hybrid proteins specifically block secretion of native acid phosphatase by interfering with enzyme after targeting but before translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum.
