We have mapped a sequence determinant in the vacuolar glycoprotein carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) that directs intracellular sorting of this enzyme. Through the study of hybrid proteins, consisting of amino-terminal segments of CPY fused to the secretory enzyme invertase, we have found that the N-terminal 50 amino acids of CPY are sufficient to direct delivery of a CPY-Inv hybrid protein to the yeast vacuole. Our data suggest that this 50 amino acid segment of CPY contains two distinct functional domains; an N-terminal signal peptide followed by a segment of 30 amino acids that contains the vacuolar sorting signal. Deletion of this putative vacuole sorting signal from an otherwise wild-type CPY protein leads to missorting of CPY. Furthermore, examination of the Asn-linked oligosaccharides present on CPY and CPY-Inv hybrid proteins suggests that an additional determinant in CPY specifies the extent to which these proteins are glycosylated in the Golgi complex.

Using a selection for spontaneous mutants that mislocalize a vacuolar carboxypeptidase Y (CPY)-invertase fusion protein to the cell surface, we identified vacuolar protein targeting (vpt) mutants in 25 new vpt complementation groups. Additional alleles in each of the eight previously identified vpt complementation groups (vpt1 through vpt8) were also obtained. Representative alleles from each of the 33 vpt complementation groups (vpt1 through vpt33) were shown to exhibit defects in the sorting and processing of several native vacuolar proteins, including the soluble hydrolases CPY, proteinase A, and proteinase B. Of the 33 complementation groups, 19 were found to contain mutant alleles that led to extreme defects. In these mutants, CPY accumulated in its Golgi complex-modified precursor form which was secreted by the mutant cells. Normal protein secretion appeared to be unaffected in the vpt mutants. The lack of significant leakage of cytosolic markers from the vpt mutant cells indicated that the vacuolar protein-sorting defects associated with these mutants do not result from cell lysis. In addition, the observation that the precursor rather than the mature forms of CPY, proteinase A, proteinase B were secreted from the vpt mutants was consistent with the fact that mislocalization occurred at a stage after Golgi complex-specific modification, but before final vacuolar sorting of these enzymes. Vacuolar membrane protein sorting appeared to be unaffected in the majority of the vpt mutants. However, a subset of the vpt mutants (vpt11, vpt16, vpt18, and vpt33) was found to exhibit defects in the sorting of a vacuolar membrane marker enzyme, alpha-mannosidase. Up to 50% of the alpha-mannosidase enzyme activity was found to be mislocalized to the cell surface in these vpt mutants. Seven of the vpt complementation groups (vpt3, vpt11, vpt15, vpt16, vpt18, vpt29, and vpt33) contained alleles that led to a conditional lethal phenotype; the mutants were temperature sensitive for vegetative cell growth. This temperature-sensitive phenotype has been shown to be recessive and to cosegregate with the vacuolar protein-sorting defect in each case. Tetrad analysis showed that vpt3 mapped to the right arm of chromosome XV and that vpt15 mapped to the right arm of chromosome II. Intercrosses with other mutants that exhibited defects in vacuolar protein sorting or function (vpl, sec, pep, and end mutants) revealed several overlaps among these different sets of genes. Together, these data indicate that more than 50 gene products are involved, directly or indirectly, in the process of vacuolar protein sorting.

We have determined that prepro-carboxypeptidase Y and a truncated form of pre-invertase can be translocated across the yeast microsomal membrane post-translationally in a homologous in vitro system. The yeast secretory protein prepro-alpha-factor which was previously shown to be an efficient posttranslational translocation substrate is therefore not unique in this regard, but rather the yeast ER protein translocation machinery is generally capable of accepting substrates from a ribosome-free, soluble pool. However, within our detection limits, full-length pre-invertase could not be translocated posttranslationally, but was translocated co-translationally. This indicates that not every fully synthesized pre-protein can use this pathway, presumably because normal or aberrant folding characteristics can interfere with translocation competence.

The translation and translocation of two yeast glycoproteins, invertase and carboxypeptidase Y, were studied in a heterologous cell-free translation system from reticulocytes supplemented with dog pancreas microsomes. Using in vitro synthesized mRNA transcripts, encoding complete or truncated invertase forms, the influence of polypeptide size and ribosome dependence was studied. It was found that C-terminal truncated fragments of 25 kDa, i.e. a size larger than the average size of a domain structure, are translocated and processed post-translationally with a similar efficiency to the cotranslational events. Post-translational import decreases with increasing peptide chain, mature polypeptide (60 kDa) being no longer translocated. Post-translational competence is only maintained as long as the peptide remains associated with ribosomes. Translocation of invertase depends on the presence of the leader peptide and requires energy independent of protein synthesis. Size dependence of post-translational import could also be demonstrated for carboxypeptidase Y.

We have constructed a PRC1-SUC2 gene fusion that directs the synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae of a hybrid polypeptide consisting of a 433-residue amino-terminal domain derived from the yeast vacuolar protease carboxypeptidase Y (CPY; EC 3.4.16.1) and a 511-residue carboxyl-terminal domain derived from the secreted yeast enzyme invertase (EC 3.2.1.26). Fractionation data indicated that this amount of CPY primary sequence is sufficient to quantitatively divert invertase to the yeast vacuole. The phenotypic consequence of localizing active invertase to the vacuole has enabled us to select for mutants that "mislocalize" the hybrid protein to the cell surface. The corresponding mutations that lead to this effect are all trans-acting and recessive, and they define at least eight complementation groups. These vacuolar protein targeting (vpt) mutants also exhibit hybrid protein independent defects in wild-type CPY delivery to the yeast vacuole. Precursor forms of CPY accumulate in the mutants and are secreted into the yeast periplasm and extracellular medium. The vpt mutants should provide useful information pertaining to the mechanisms by which yeast cells regulate vacuolar protein traffic.

A study was made of the enzyme content of the isolated cell walls and of a plasma-membrane preparation obtained by centrifugation after enzymic digestion of the cell walls of baker's yeast. The isolated cell walls showed no hexokinase, alkaline phosphatase, esterase or NADH oxidase activity. It was concluded that these enzymes exist only in the interior of the cell. Further, only a negligible activity of deamidase was detectable in the cell walls. Noticeable amounts of saccharase, phosphatases hydrolysing p-nitrophenyl phosphate, ATP, ADP, thiamin pyrophosphate and PP(i), with optimum activity at pH3-4, and an activity of Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase at neutral pH, were found in the isolated cell walls. During enzymic digestion, the other activities appearing in the cell walls were mostly released into the medium, but the bulk of the Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase remained in the plasma-membrane preparation. Accordingly, it may be assumed that the enzymes released into the medium during digestion are located in the cell wall outside the plasma membrane, whereas the Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase is an enzyme of the plasma membrane. This enzyme differs from the phosphatases with pH optima in the range pH3-4 with regard to location, pH optimum, substrate specificity and different requirement of activators.

The pathways for protein N- and O-glycosylation in yeast cells are summarized. Evidence is presented that the terminal glucosyl residues of the dolichyl-PP-oligosaccharide intermediate are responsible for decreasing the Km for the peptide to be N-glycosylated. A liposomal model system is introduced that allows the study of a dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P) dependent transmembrane transport of mannosyl residues. The results obtained so far suggest that the mannosylation of Dol-P and the transmembrane translocation of Dol-P-Man are catalysed by the enzyme more or less simultaneously. However, only about 8-10% of the enzyme molecules incorporated into the liposomes seem to carry out the 'coupled' reaction. The glycosylation of carboxypeptidase Y is not required for this protein to reach the vacuole, its target organelle. In the presence of low concentrations of tunicamycin, however, yeast cells do stop growth. This does not seem to be due to the inhibition of secretion of glycoproteins like external invertase. It is postulated that protein glycosylation is crucial for a cell cycle event during the G1 phase.

Yeast secretory mutants sec53 and sec59 define a posttranslational stage in the penetration of glycoprotein precursors into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In the previous report we showed that at the restrictive temperature (37 degrees C) these mutants accumulate enzymatically inactive and incompletely glycosylated forms of the secretory enzyme invertase and the vacuolar enzyme carboxypeptidase Y. Cell fractionation experiments reveal that these precursor forms remain firmly bound to the ER membrane. However, upon return to the permissive temperature (24 degrees C), the invertase precursors are glycosylated, become partially active, and are secreted. Thermoreversible conversion does not require protein synthesis, but does require energy. In contrast to the effect of these mutations, inhibition of oligosaccharide synthesis with tunicamycin at 37 degrees C causes irreversible accumulation of unglycosylated invertase. The effect of the drug is exaggerated by high temperature since unglycosylated invertase synthesized in the presence of tunicamycin at 25 degrees C is secreted. A portion of the invertase polypeptide accumulated at 37 degrees C is preserved when membranes from sec53 and sec59 are treated with trypsin. In the presence of Triton X-100 or saponin, the invertase is degraded completely. The protected fragment appears to represent a portion of the invertase polypeptide that is embedded in or firmly associated with the ER membrane. This association may develop early during the synthesis of invertase, so that in the absence of translocation, some of the completed polypeptide chain remains exposed on the cytoplasmic surface of the ER.

Yeast cells secrete a variety of glycosylated proteins. At least two of these proteins, invertase and acid phosphatase, fail to be secreted in a new class of mutants that are temperature-sensitive for growth. Unlike the yeast secretory mutants previously described (class A sec mutants; Novick, P., C. Field, and R. Schekman, 1980, Cell., 21:205-420), class B sec mutants (sec 53, sec 59) fail to produce active secretory enzymes at the restrictive temperature (37 degrees C). sec 53 and sec 59 appear to be defective in reactions associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. Although protein synthesis continues at a nearly normal rate for 2 h at 37 degrees C, incorporation of [3H]mannose into glycoprotein is reduced. Immunoreactive polypeptide forms of invertase accumulate within the cell which have mobilities on SDS PAGE consistent with incomplete glycosylation: sec 53 produces little or no glycosylated invertase, and sec 59 accumulates forms containing 0-3 of the 9-10 N-linked oligosaccharide chains that are normally added to the protein. In addition to secreted enzymes, maturation of the vacuolar glycoprotein carboxypeptidase Y, incorporation of the plasma membrane sulfate permease activity, and secretion of the major cell wall proteins are blocked at 37 degrees C.

N-linked oligosaccharides have been examined on glycoproteins accumulated in yeast mutants that are blocked at successive stages in the secretory pathway, and in a new mutant, gls1-1, deficient in removal of glucose from N-linked core oligosaccharides, but not blocked in secretion. Oligosaccharides on invertase, a secreted protein, and carboxypeptidase Y, a vacuolar protein, are matured normally in the gls1 mutant but retain three glucoses/carbohydrate chain. The gls1 mutation is recessive and extracts of mutant cells are inactive in release of labeled glucose from core oligosaccharides. The mutant thus lacks glucosidase I activity but could also be deficient in the other core oligosaccharide glucosidase. When transport from the endoplasmic reticulum is blocked in sec18, N-linked oligosaccharides accumulate with a size corresponding to Man8GlcNAc2 when the normal GLS1 allele is present, and Glc3Man8GlcNAc2 in the gls1 mutant. From this we infer that all glucose units are removed prior to glycoprotein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum.
