Saccharomyces cerevisiae Man9-alpha-mannosidase, responsible for trimming Man9GlcNAc2 in the endoplasmic reticulum to Man8GlcNAc2, the substrate for oligosaccharide elongation, has been purified to homogeneity from stabilized microsomal membranes without employing autolytic digestion. The activity was solubilized by the zwitterionic detergent, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethyl ammonio]-1-propanesulphonate (CHAPS), whose presence was necessary for maximal activity. Purification included Q-Sepharose ion-exchange chromatography, preparative isoelectric focusing and HPLC gel filtration on TSK 3000 matrix. Overall purification from post-nuclear supernatants was estimated to be 110,000-fold with a 50% recovery of activity. The purified enzyme hydrolysed Man9GlcNAc1,2 from thyroglobulin or oligosaccharide-lipid, but not invertase Man9GlcNAc, Man1 alpha 2Man1 alpha OCH3 or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside. Conversion of thyroglobulin Man9GlcNAc to Man8GlcNAc was linear with time and enzyme concentration, with an apparent Km of 0.2 mM and a specific activity of 220 IU/mg. Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 from oligosaccharide-lipid was as good a substrate as Man9GlcNAc, but the lipid-linked Man7GlcNAc2 isomer was hydrolysed at only 10% of this rate. Hydrolysis of defined isomers of IgM and bovine thyroglobulin Man6,7,8GlcNAc indicated that, for maximal alpha 1,2-mannosidase activity, only the alpha 1,2-linked terminal mannoses on the alpha 3 branch of the Man9GlcNAc precursor were dispensable. Isomers lacking the terminal alpha 1,2-linked mannose on the alpha 6 branch were hydrolysed at only approximately 10% of the maximal rate. The enzyme exhibited a pI of 5.3 and a pH optimum at 6.5. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence of reducing agents gave a single sharp band at 66 kDa, while in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol equimolar amounts of two peptides, one of 44 kDa and one of 23 kDa, were obtained. Sizing on Sephacryl SF300, Superose 12 and TSK 3000 provided a holoenzyme mol. wt of 60-68 kDa, indicating that the isolated active form of the Man9-alpha-mannosidase was composed of one each of the sulphydryl-bonded dissimilar peptides. The enzyme bound to concanavalin A (ConA)-Sepharose and was eluted with alpha-methylmannoside, indicating the presence of high-mannose oligosaccharides. The Man9-alpha-mannosidase required low levels of Ca2+, which could be removed by EGTA. Activity was restored by Ca2+ or Zn2+, but not by Mg2+ or Mn2+.

It has been shown previously that defects in the essential GTP-binding protein, Ypt1p, lead to a block in protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we report that four newly discovered suppressors of YPT1 deletion (SLY1-20, SLY2, SLY12, and SLY41) to a varying degree restore ER-to-Golgi transport defects in cells lacking Ypt1p. These suppressors also partially complement the sec21-1 and sec22-3 mutants which lead to a defect early in the secretory pathway. Sly1p-depleted cells, as well as a conditional lethal sly2 null mutant at nonpermissive temperatures, accumulate ER membranes and core-glycosylated invertase and carboxypeptidase Y. The sly2 null mutant under restrictive conditions (37 degrees C) can be rescued by the multicopy suppressor SLY12 and the single-copy suppressor SLY1-20, indicating that these three SLY genes functionally interact. Sly2p is shown to be an integral membrane protein.

Sec12p is a membrane glycoprotein required for the formation of a vesicular intermediate in protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Comparison of the N-linked glycosylation of Sec12p, a Sec12p-invertase hybrid protein, and a derivative of Sec12p lacking 71 carboxy-terminal amino acids showed that Sec12p is a type II membrane protein. Analysis of two truncated forms of Sec12p and of a temperature-sensitive mutant indicated that the C-terminal domain of Sec12p is not essential for protein transport, whereas the integrity and membrane attachment of the cytoplasmic N-terminal domain are essential. Expression of a soluble cytoplasmic domain dramatically inhibited the growth of a sec12 temperature-sensitive strain by increasing the transport defect at a normally permissive temperature. This growth inhibition as well as the sec12 temperature-sensitive defect were suppressed by the overproduction of Sar1p, a small GTP-binding protein that participates in protein transport. Sar1p membrane association was enhanced by elevated levels of Sec12p. These results suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of Sec12p interacts with Sar1p and that the complex may function to promote vesicle formation.

Fifty two strains of anaerobic bacteria isolated from the upper gut of patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth were screened for phospholipase activity. Bacteroides melaninogenicus spp intermedius had the greatest activity. The effects of culture supernatants of this organism and deoxycholate on intestinal calcium absorption and disaccharidase activity were studied using a rat closed loop model. The supernatant decreased the in vitro uptake of calcium by 15% (p less than 0.001). Deoxycholate reduced calcium uptake by 16% (p less than 0.001). Combined culture supernatant and deoxycholate reduced calcium uptake by 39% (p less than 0.001) suggesting a potentiation of supernatant activity by deoxycholate. Culture supernatant and deoxycholate, both alone and combined, significantly reduced lactase, sucrase, and maltase activity. Electron microscopic evidence showed degeneration of microvilli, disruption of mitochondrial structure, and swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum after exposure of the intestinal loops to the supernatant or deoxycholate.

The endoplasmic reticulum of mammalian cells contains a heat shock protein of approximately 70 kDa (hsp70) termed binding protein BiP that is thought to promote the folding and subunit assembly of newly synthesized proteins. To study BiP function, we placed the BiP-encoding gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of a regulated promoter and examined the effects of BiP depletion. Reduction of BiP protein to about 15% of normal levels led to a profound reduction in secretion of alpha factor and invertase. At the same time, unglycosylated precursors of these proteins accumulated intracellularly. The predominant form of the invertase precursor had undergone signal sequence cleavage but accumulated as a soluble species in the cytosol. In contrast, the alpha-factor precursor was exclusively in the signal-uncleaved form. It sedimented with microsomal membranes and was exposed at the cytoplasmic face in a protease-resistant form. These findings suggest that, in yeast, BiP function is required for translocation of soluble proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum at a stage beyond the initial nascent chain-membrane association.

Protoplasts purified from mesocarp of nonpollinated pea (Pisum sativum L.) ovaries released acid invertase to the incubation medium. The association of the acid invertase with microsomal fractions, and the sensitivity to energy-metabolism inhibitors and to tunicamycin, indicated the secretory nature of the release process. In the presence of GA3 (10 microM), the protoplasts increased their invertase secretion at about 60 min, this effect being counteracted by tunicamycin but not by cycloheximide. Subcellular fractionation of GA3-treated protoplasts showed that higher invertase secretion was the result of a promotion of invertase transfer from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi apparatus.

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.

Ypt1p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a ras-related GTP-binding protein that fulfils an essential function in intracellular protein transport between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex. Ypt proteins from yeasts and mammals that share an identical sequence in the region analogous to the ras effector domain are functionally interchangeable. We analyzed the function of the putative effector domain of yeast Ypt1p (amino acids 37-45) using site-directed mutagenesis and gene replacement. Four out of six point mutations leading to single amino acid substitutions (Y37F, S39A, T40S and V43E) did not cause any particular phenotype. ypt1(I41M) mutants were inviable whereas ypt1(D44N) mutant cells were temperature sensitive at 37 degrees C and accumulated core-glycosylated invertase at the nonpermissive temperature. This mutant also accumulated ER and small vesicles both at 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C. From porcine liver we identified and partially purified a GTPase-activating protein (yptGAP) that is similarly active with mouse ypt1p/rab1p and yeast Ypt1p but is inactive with H-ras protein as a substrate. Although none of the yeast ypt1 mutant proteins were significantly impaired in their ability to bind GTP, purified ypt1(D44N)p responded only partially and ypt1(I41M)p did not respond at all, to yptGAP. Thus we suggest that analogous to rasGAP/H-ras p21 interaction in mammalian cells, yptGAP is an intracellular target of Ypt1p, interacting with the effector domain and regulating its GTPase activity, and that this interaction is required for the functioning of yeast Ypt1p in intracellular protein transport.

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.

We isolated a full-length cDNA for apoplastic (extracellular or cell wall-bound) beta-fructosidase (invertase), determined its nucleotide sequence, and used it as a probe to measure changes in mRNA as a result of wounding of carrot storage roots and infection of carrot plants with the bacterial pathogen Erwinia carotovora. The derived amino acid sequence of extracellular beta-fructosidase shows that it is a basic protein (pl 9.9) with a signal sequence for entry into the endoplasmic reticulum and a propeptide at the N terminus that is not present in the mature protein. Amino acid sequence comparison with yeast and bacterial invertases shows that the overall homology is only about 28%, but that there are short conserved motifs, one of which is at the active site. Maturing carrot storage roots contain barely detectable levels of mRNA for extracellular beta-fructosidase and these levels rise slowly but dramatically after wounding with maximal expression after 12 hours. Infection of roots and leaves of carrot plants with E. carotovora results in a very fast increase in the mRNA levels with maximal expression after 1 hour. These results indicate that apoplastic beta-fructosidase is probably a new and hitherto unrecognized pathogenesis-related protein [Van Loon, L.C. (1985). Plant Mol. Biol. 4, 111-116]. Suspension-cultured carrot cells contain high levels of mRNA for extracellular beta-fructosidase and these levels remain the same whether the cells are grown on sucrose, glucose, or fructose.
