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.

Neutral and phosphorylated N-linked oligosaccharides were isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae mnn9 and mnn9 gls1 mutant mannoproteins and separated into homologues that differed in the number of terminal alpha 1----3-linked mannoses. In each type of oligosaccharide, the addition of such mannose was shown to occur in an ordered rather than a random fashion. The results confirm and extend an earlier report that dealt with the N-linked oligosaccharides from yeast invertase [Trimble, R.B., & Atkinson, P.H. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 9815-9824], and they suggest that the postulated processing pathway can be generalized to include phosphorylated and glucose-containing N-linked oligomannosides. We conclude that this processing pathway is identical for the analogous oligosaccharides from the mnn9 and wild-type strains of S. cerevisiae. Analysis of the mnn2 mnn10 mannoprotein revealed that a similar modification occurred at the branched terminus of the outer chain as well as in the core in this mutant.

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.

A mutant of the Escherichia coli lactose carrier has been selected (in an invertase-positive strain) based on its ability to grow on 6 mM sucrose in a manner dependent upon lactose carrier induction by isopropyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside. The mutant was cloned, and DNA sequencing revealed a point mutation in lacY which changed alanine 177 to valine. The valine 177 mutation increased the transport rate for both [14C]sucrose and the maltose analog 4-nitrophenyl-alpha-maltoside. The potency for inhibition of beta-ONPG transport by several sugars containing the glucopyranosyl moiety (maltose, cellobiose, or palatinose) was increased significantly relative to the parental carrier. Similar experiments showed that the mutation did not affect the affinity for such commonly studied substrates as 4-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside and beta-D-galactopyranosyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside. These data indicate that gross structural alteration of the galactoside binding site cannot account for increased transport of sucrose and maltose by the valine 177 mutant. We conclude that effects of the valine 177 mutation are not limited strictly to changes in observed sugar affinity and that sugar-specific changes in turnover number may be an important determinant of the altered spectrum of sugar specificities exhibited by the Val-177 carrier. These phenomena may be related to the effect of this mutation on proton recognition (described in King, S.C., and Wilson, T.H. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 9645-9651).

The effect of supplementation of the diet with galactose on the age-related decline of intestinal lactase activity was investigated in 108 growing rats. Starting from 14 days of age, the rats were divided into two groups and fed with chow, and with fluid either as tap water or 5% galactose solution. At 14 days the specific lactase activity was 112.8 +/- 3.2 mumol min-1 (g protein)-1, which decreased to less than 10% of this value at maturity. Galactose supplementation did not prevent the decline. The increase of maltase, sucrase and trehalase was also unaffected. The result suggests that galactose plays no significant role in the regulation of disaccharidase activities in the rat.

The binding and uptake of mannose exposing ligands in rat liver cells during development and aging was studied. The mannose-specific receptors are visualized using 5-nm diameter colloidal gold particles coated with invertase or mannan. It was found that the binding sites are present on sinusoidal liver cells since prenatal life but their quantitative and qualitative cell surface expression changes with age. The number of receptors affects the endocytotic capacity of Kupffer cells which is low during perinatal and aging periods and reaches the values of adult animals between the 11th and the 15th day after birth. Our results indicate that the expression and the activity of mannose-specific receptors on sinusoidal rat liver cells is related to the differentiative stage of the organ.

This study describes a simple and rapid method for the preparation of brush-border membrane vesicles from intestinal biopsies. The specific activities of sucrase, amino peptidase N, and alkaline phosphatase in these vesicles were the same as those in vesicles prepared from intestinal segments. The vesicles from all the regions of the small intestine can transport D-glucose in an Na+-dependent manner. The rates of transport of D-glucose presented here are far higher than previously reported. The method should have a wide applicability to studies of transport mechanisms and the distribution of transport processes within the intestine.

Castanospermine (CS) is a potent but non-selective inhibitor of many glycohydrolases including the intestinal disaccharidases. Several CS-glucosides were synthesized to investigate the effect of an attached glucopyranosyl residue on the potency and selectivity of CS toward inhibition of intestinal disaccharidases. 8 alpha-glucosyl-CS and 7 alpha-glucosyl-CS were nearly as potent against sucrase activity as CS (IC50 values = 30, 40, and 20 nM respectively) but were 1/50 or less as potent as CS against lactase and trehalase activities. 8 beta-glucosyl-CS was 1/20 to 1/140 as potent as CS and 1 alpha-glucosyl-CS was 1/57 to 1/1500 as potent as CS against disaccharidase activities. 1 alpha-glc-CS was less selective than CS, whereas the other CS-glucosides were more selective. 7 alpha-glc-CS and 8 alpha-glc-CS were the most sucrase selective and were particularly ineffective against trehalase and lactase activities. 8 beta-glc-CS was similar to CS except for relatively weaker trehalase inhibition. In summary, selectivity toward certain disaccharidases was achieved by glucosylation of CS hydroxyls. However, a simple structural comparison of the CS-glucoside to a disaccharide substrate did not reliably predict which disaccharidase would be more inhibited by the CS-glucoside.

1. Receptor-mediated endocytosis of mannose-terminated glycoproteins in rat liver endothelial cells has been followed by means of subcellular fractionation and by immunocytochemical labelling of ultrathin cryosections after intravenous injection of ovalbumin. For subcellular-fractionation studies the ligand was labelled with 125-tyramine-cellobiose adduct, which leads to labelled degradation products being trapped intracellularly in the organelle where the degradation takes place. 2. Isopycnic centrifugation in sucrose gradients of a whole liver homogenate showed that the ligand is sequentially associated with three organelles with increasing buoyant densities. The ligand was, 1 min after injection, recovered in a light, slowly sedimenting vesicle and subsequently (6 min) in larger endosomes. After 24 min the ligand was recovered in dense organelles, where also acid-soluble degradation products accumulated. 3. Immunocytochemical labelling of ultrathin cryosections showed that the ligand appeared rapidly after internalization in coated vesicles and subsequently in two larger types of endosomes. In the 'early' endosomes (1 min after injection) the labelling was seen closely associated with the membrane of the vesicle; after 6 min the ligand was evenly distributed in the lumen. At 24 min after injection the ligand was found in the lysosomes. 4. A bimodal distribution of endothelial cell lysosomes with different buoyant densities was revealed by centrifugation in iso-osmotic Nycodenz gradients, suggesting that two types of lysosomes are involved in the degradation of mannose-terminated glycoproteins in liver endothelial cells. Two populations of lysosomes were also revealed by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation after injection of large amounts of yeast invertase. 5. In conclusion, ovalbumin is transferred rapidly through three endosomal compartments before delivering to the lysosomes. The degradation seems to take place in two populations of lysosomes.

Core glycosylated proteins formed in the yeast endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are transported to the Golgi body, where oligosaccharides are elongated by addition of outer-chain carbohydrate. The transport process is blocked in a temperature-sensitive secretion mutant (sec18) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which accumulates core glycosylated invertase (product of SUC2; EC 3.2.1.26) in the ER. To approach the molecular mechanism of this transport process, we have devised a reaction in which core glycosylated invertase, accumulated in sec18 cells, is transferred to the Golgi body in vitro. For this purpose, membranes from sec18, SUC2 cells that are also defective in an outer chain alpha-1----3-mannosyltransferase (mnnl) are mixed with membranes from a strain that contains the transferase but is deficient in invertase (MNNl, delta SUC2). Transfer is detected by the acquisition of outer-chain alpha-1----3-linked mannose residues dependent on both donor and recipient membranes. The reaction is temperature and detergent sensitive and requires ATP, GDP-mannose, Mg2+, and Mn2+, and the product invertase remains associated with sedimentable membranes. Treatment of donor, but not acceptor, membranes with N-ethylmaleimide or trypsin inactivates transfer competence. These characteristics suggest that the ER, or a vesicle derived from the ER, contributes invertase to a chemically distinct compartment where mannosyl modification is executed.
