The uptake by rat yolk sacs of native invertase and invertase which was deglycosylated by treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase was compared. The initial rate of uptake of the deglycosylated enzyme was severalfold greater and its accumulation leveled off much earlier than that of the native enzyme. Uptake rates of the deglycosylated and native forms of the enzyme were proportional to their concentration in the medium in the range employed and were inhibited about 85% by 10(-6) M glucagon in both cases. After preloading of yolk sacs with native invertase, the tissue level of activity remained relatively constant over a subsequent 6-h time period, while with the deglycosylated form, activity declined substantially. Since this difference appears not to be attributable to differences in thermal stability, it is suggested that the deglycosylated form of the protein is more susceptible to intracellular proteolytic digestion. In vitro studies on the digestion of these two forms of invertase by trypsin are consistent with this suggestion.

To study the sorting of proteins in Dictyostelium discoideum, we used vector constructs that contain cDNA coding for the entire beta-hexosaminidase protein to prepare transformants of a mutant that lacks this enzyme activity. These transformants overexpressed active, normally processed beta-hexosaminidase. The overexpressed enzyme colocalized with other acid hydrolases in the soluble fraction of vesicles in the lysosomal region of Percoll gradients. The sorting of other hydrolases was unaltered. We also prepared transformants with constructs that contain 22 (Hex 22-Inv), 70 (Hex 70-Inv), and 532 (Hex 532-Inv) amino-terminal amino acids from beta-hexosaminidase fused in frame with the coding sequence for the yeast SUC2 gene product, invertase. Fusion molecular masses were those expected for fully N-glycosylated proteins. Hex 22-Inv was rapidly (t1/2 less than 30 min) and quantitatively secreted. The others were slowly (t1/2 greater than 5 h) and partially secreted. Each expressed invertase activity. During growth, the invertase activity of Hex 70-Inv and Hex 532-Inv was retained to the same extent as that of endogenous lysosomal enzymes. Most of the Hex 70-Inv migrated in Percoll gradients with vesicles of intermediate density (d = 1.055), but a portion co-migrated with lysosomal enzymes at d = 1.08. Hex 70-Inv was sulfated, and its N-glycosides were resistant to endoglycosidase H, indicating Golgi processing. Hex 70-Inv and Hex 532-Inv, like endogenous lysosomal enzymes, were subject to developmentally induced secretion.

Cleavage of yeast invertase by alpha-chymotrypsin produced a number of small glycopeptides that were highly active as elicitors of ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in suspension-cultured tomato cells. Five of these elicitors were purified and their amino acid sequence determined. They all had sequences corresponding to known sequences of yeast invertase, and all contained an asparagine known to carry a N-linked small high mannose glycan. The most active glycopeptide elicitor induced ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase half-maximally at a concentration of 5-10 nM. Structure-activity relationships of the peptide part were analyzed by further cleavage of a defined glycopeptide elicitor with various proteolytic enzymes. Removal of the C-terminal phenylalanine enhanced the elicitor activity, whereas removal of N-terminal arginine impaired it. A glycopeptide with the peptide part trimmed to the dipeptide arginine-asparagine was still fully active as elicitor. Glycopeptides with identical amino acid sequences were further separated into fractions differing in the oligosaccharide side chain. A given peptide had high elicitor activity when carrying a glycan with 10-12 mannosyl residues (Man10-12GlcNAc2), a 3-fold lower activity when carrying Man9GlcNAc2 and a 100-fold lower activity when carrying Man8GlcNAc2. The oligosaccharides, released by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H from the pure glycopeptide elicitors, acted as suppressors of elicitor-induced ethylene biosynthesis and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. A series of such oligosaccharides in the size range of Man8-13GlcNAc was purified. The structure and composition of the purified oligosaccharides corresponded to the known small high mannose glycans of yeast invertase as verified by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 600 MHz. The highest suppressor activities were obtained with the oligosaccharides containing 10-12 mannosyl residues (Man10-12GlcNAc). The oligosaccharide Man8 GlcNAc was ineffective as a suppressor. Thus, the structural requirements for the free oligosaccharides to act as efficient suppressors were the same as for the oligosaccharide side chains of the glycopeptides for high elicitor activity. We propose that the glycan suppressors bind to the same recognition site as the glycopeptide elicitors without inducing a response.

Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Arthrobacter protophormiae was tested for its capacity to release N-linked sugar chains from native yeast invertase. The enzyme liberated about 80% of the sugar chains from the native invertase. Deglycosylated invertase was digested by chymotrypsin or pepsin, and twelve N-acetylglucosamine-containing glycopeptides were isolated. The amino acid sequences of these glycopeptides were analyzed by a protein sequencer, and the elution position of 4-L-aspartylglycosylamine was directly identified by conventional sequencing. The endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase was found to remove mainly nine sugar chains from native invertase.

Asparagine-linked oligosaccharides are synthesized by transfer of Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 from dolichol pyrophosphate to nascent polypeptides. Assembly of the precursor proceeds by highly ordered sequential addition of mannose and glucose to form Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol. Yeast mutants in asparagine-linked glycosylation (alg), generated by an 3H-Man suicide technique, were assigned to eight complementation groups which define steps in oligosaccharide-lipid synthesis (Huffaker, T.C., and Robbins, P.W. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 3203-3210). Alg3 invertase oligosaccharides are resistant to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, and the lipid-oligosaccharide pool yields Man5Glc-NAc2, suggesting its structure may be that from mammalian cells lacking Man-P-dolichol (Chapman, A., et al. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 4441-4446). To test this supposition, the endoplasmic reticulum form of invertase derepressed in alg3,sec18 yeast at 37 degrees C was isolated as a source of oligosaccharides whose processing beyond glucose and/or mannose trimming, if involved, would be prevented. Man8GlcNAc2 and Man5GlcNAc2 were released by peptide-N-glycosidase F from alg3,sec18 invertase in a 1:5 molar ratio. 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed Man8GlcNAc2 to be the alpha 1,2-mannosidase-trimming product described earlier (Byrd, J. C., Tarentino, A. L., Maley, F., Atkinson, P. H., and Trimble, R. B. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 14657-14666), while Man5GlcNAc2 was Man alpha 1, 2Man alpha 1,2Man alpha 1,3(Man alpha 1,6)Man beta 1,4GlcNAc beta 1, 4GlcNAc. This provides a structural proof for the lipid-linked Man5GlcNAc2 originally proposed from enzymatic and chemical analyses of the radiolabeled mammalian precursor. Experimental evidence indicates that, unlike the mammalian cell mutants which are unable to synthesize Man-P-dolichol, alg3 yeast accumulate Man5GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol due to a defective alpha 1,3-mannosyltransferase required for the next step in oligosaccharide-lipid elongation.

Glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring, N glycosylation, and O mannosylation of protein occur in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and involve transfer of precursor structures that contain mannose. Direct genetic evidence is presented that dolichol phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) synthase, which transfers mannose from GDPMan to the polyisoprenoid dolichol phosphate, is required in vivo for all three biosynthetic pathways leading to these covalent modifications of protein in yeast cells. Temperature-sensitive yeast mutants were isolated after in vitro mutagenesis of the yeast DPM1 gene. At the nonpermissive temperature of 37 degrees C, the dpm1 mutants were blocked in [2-3H]myo-inositol incorporation into protein and accumulated a lipid that could be radiolabeled with both [2-3H]myo-inositol and [2-3H]glucosamine and met existing criteria for an intermediate in GPI anchor biosynthesis. The likeliest explanation for these results is that Dol-P-Man donates the mannose residues needed for completion of the GPI anchor precursor lipid before it can be transferred to protein. Dol-P-Man synthase is also required in vivo for N glycosylation of protein, because (i) dpm1 cells were unable to make the full-length precursor Dol-PP-GlcNAc2Man9Glc3 and instead accumulated the intermediate Dol-PP-GlcNAc2Man5 in their pool of lipid-linked precursor oligosaccharides and (ii) truncated, endoglycosidase H-resistant oligosaccharides were transferred to the N-glycosylated protein invertase after a shift to 37 degrees C. Dol-P-Man synthase is also required in vivo for O mannosylation of protein, because chitinase, normally a 150-kDa O-mannosylated protein, showed a molecular size of 60 kDa, the size predicted for the unglycosylated protein, after shift of the dpm1 mutant to the nonpermissive temperature.

Invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) was purified to homogeneity from exponentially growing cells of Schizosaccharomyces pombe fully de-repressed for synthesis of the enzyme, and was shown to be a high-molecular-mass glycoprotein that can be dissociated in the presence of 8 M-urea/1% SDS into identical subunits with an apparent molecular mass of 205 kDa. The carbohydrate moiety, accounting for 67% of the total mass, is composed of equimolar amounts of mannose and galactose. There is a small amount of glucosamine, which is probably involved in the linkage to the protein moiety, since the enzyme is sensitive to treatment with endoglycosidase H. The composition of the carbohydrate moiety resembles that found in higher-eukaryotic glycoproteins and differs from glycoproteins found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protein portion of each subunit is a polypeptide of molecular mass 60 kDa, very similar to the invertase of Sacch. cerevisiae. Both proteins cross-react with antibodies raised against the protein fractions of the other, indicating that the two enzymes are similar.

Purified beta-N-acetylglucosaminide beta(1-4)galactosyltransferase and partially purified beta-galactoside alpha(2-6)-sialyltransferase were used to elongate and terminate glycan chains of agalacto-ovalbumin and endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-treated yeast invertase in vitro. In the presence of both transferases, 0.1 mol sialic acid was incorporated per mol agalacto-ovalbumin within 24 h. Evidence is presented to show that purification of the galactosylated intermediate increases the efficiency of sialylation. Incorporation of sialic acid into endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-treated oligomannose glycoproteins may be useful for in vivo stabilization of these glycoproteins by preventing uptake in liver or reticuloendothelial cells.

There are 14 potential Asn-X-Thr/Ser glycosylation sites, or sequons, in the yeast external invertase sequence. Of these, 13 are wholly or partially glycosylated to give an average of 9-10 oligosaccharides/subunit (Reddy, V. A., Johnson, R. S., Biemann, K., Williams, R. S., Ziegler, F. D., Trimble, R. B., and Maley, F. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 6978-6985). On digestion of native holoenzyme by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H) an average of about seven oligosaccharides per subunit are released without affecting enzyme activity (Trimble, R. B., and Maley, F. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 4409-4412). To determine whether the remaining Endo H-resistant chains were restricted to a limited number of unique sequons or were randomly distributed on all 13, Endo H-treated native invertase was digested with either thermolysin or trypsin and the resultant glycopeptides isolated by reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography and gel filtration. It was found that the oligosaccharides attached to Asn92, Asn247, and Asn350 were partially resistant to Endo H, while those at Asn45 and Asn337) were completely resistant. Bio-Gel P-4 analysis revealed the Endo H-resistant oligosaccharides at Asn45, Asn92, Asn247, and Asn337 to be Man8-14GlcNAc, while the minor residual carbohydrate at Asn350 was Man greater than 50GlcNAc. The Endo H-susceptible oligosaccharides at Asn4, Asn146, and Asn256 were Man greater than 50GlcNAc while all other glycosylation sites contained Man8-14GlcNAc. Based on a hydropathic analysis of invertase, the two most Endo H-resistant oligosaccharides at Asn45 and Asn337 were located in the more hydrophobic regions of the molecule. These may form part of the folded protein structure or interacting subunit surfaces, thus restricting their accessibility to Endo H.

Seedlings and suspension-cultured cells of carrot (Daucus carota) contain a cell wall associated as well as a soluble form of beta-fructosidase (beta F). These two forms have different pH optima: 4.6 for cell wall beta F and 5.6 for soluble beta F. Soluble beta F is relatively more abundant in the seedlings and cell wall beta F is relatively much more abundant in the cultured cells. Protoplasts of cultured cells have only the soluble form (pH optimum 5.6) indicating that the cell wall associated form is indeed extracellular in situ. Cell wall beta F was purified to homogeneity and has an Mr = 63,000. Antibodies raised against the deglycosylated enzyme cross-reacted with two soluble enzyme forms: in cultured cells, the soluble enzyme has an Mr = 58,000 and, in seedlings, there are two forms of Mr = 58,000 and 52,000. Treatment of purified cell wall beta F with endoglycosidase H and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (complete deglycosylation) indicated that the enzyme probably has one high mannose and two complex glycans. This was confirmed by HPLC analysis of [3H]GlcNAc- and [3H]fucose-labeled glycopeptides obtained after trypsin digestion of radioactively-labeled beta F. The amino acid composition shows that cell wall beta F has 18.6% glycine.
