Three randomly derived sequences that can substitute for the signal peptide of Saccharomyces cerevisiae invertase were tested for the efficiency with which they can translocate invertase or beta-galactosidase into the endoplasmic reticulum. The rate of translocation, as measured by glycosylation, was estimated in pulse-chase experiments to be less than 6 min. When fused to beta-galactosidase, these peptides, like the normal invertase signal sequence, direct the hybrid protein to a perinuclear region, consistent with localization to the endoplasmic reticulum. The diversity of function of random peptides was studied further by immunofluorescence localization of proteins fused to 28 random sequences: 4 directed the hybrid to the endoplasmic reticulum, 3 directed it to the mitochondria, and 1 directed it to the nucleus.

We have previously shown that the C-terminal sequence HDEL acts as a retention signal for luminal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and that it is possible to isolate mutants that fail to retain an invertase fusion protein bearing this signal. Analysis of many such mutants defines two genes, ERD1 and ERD2. Cells lacking the ERD1 gene secrete the endogenous ER protein, BiP. Under normal growth conditions, the rate of secretion is equivalent to the rate at which wild-type cells secrete a modified form of BiP that lacks the HDEL signal altogether. Thus, erd1 cells show a profound disruption of the retention system. The mutant cells have no gross abnormality of their intracellular membrane system, but show defects in the Golgi-dependent modification of glycoproteins. We suggest that sorting of luminal ER proteins normally occurs in the Golgi, and that the function of ERD1 is required for the correct interaction of an HDEL receptor with its ligands. The sequence of ERD1 predicts a membrane protein with several transmembrane domains, a conclusion supported by analysis of ERD1-SUC2 fusion proteins.

We have produced the four subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of Torpedo californica, an integral membrane protein, in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two of the subunits (alpha and delta) were readily produced from their cDNAs after simply subcloning them into a yeast shuttle vector adjacent to a yeast promoter. The other two protein subunits (beta and gamma) were not produced by this strategy, although the amounts of mRNA produced from these expression constructs are similar to those for alpha and delta. Replacing the DNA coding for the normal N-terminal signal sequences for the beta and gamma subunits with DNA coding for the signal sequence of yeast invertase results in successful protein synthesis. The yeast signal sequence allows these subunits to be translocated across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and to be glycosylated. The appropriate final size of the subunit proteins suggests that the yeast signal sequence has been properly cleaved after translocation.

BiP/GRP78 is an essential member of the HSP70 family that resides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. In yeast, BiP/GRP78 is encoded by the KAR2 gene. A temperature sensitive mutation was isolated in KAR2 and found to cause a rapid block in protein secretion. Secretory precursors of a number of proteins (invertase, carboxypeptidase Y, alpha-factor, and BiP) accumulated that were characteristic of a block in translocation into the lumen of the ER. Protease protection experiments confirmed that the precursors accumulated on the cytoplasmic side of the ER membrane. Moreover, depletion of wild-type KAR2 protein also resulted in a block in translocation of secretory proteins. These results implicate BiP/GRP78 function in the continued translocation of proteins into the lumen of the ER.

SEC62 is required for the import of secretory protein precursors into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The DNA sequence of SEC62 predicts a 32-kDa polypeptide with two potential membrane-spanning segments. Two antisera directed against different portions of the SEC62 coding region specifically detected a 30-kDa polypeptide in cell extracts. A combination of subcellular fractionation, detergent and alkali extraction, and indirect immunofluorescence studies indicated that Sec62p is intimately associated with the ER membrane. Protease digestion of intact microsomes and analysis of the oligosaccharide content of a set of Sec62p-invertase hybrid proteins suggested that Sec62p spans the ER membrane twice, displaying hydrophilic amino- and carboxy-terminal domains towards the cytosol. Sec62p-invertase hybrid proteins that lack the Sec62p C terminus failed to complement the sec62-l mutation and dramatically inhibited the growth of sec62-l cells at a normally permissive temperature. The inhibitory action of toxic Sec62p-invertase hybrids was partially counteracted by the overexpression of Sec63p. Taken together, these data suggest that the C-terminal domain of Sec62p performs an essential function and that the N-terminal domain associates with other components of the translocation machinery, including Sec63p.

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.

When nuclear localization sequences (termed NLS) are placed at the N terminus of cytochrome c1, a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, the resulting hybrid proteins do not assemble into mitochondria when synthesized in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cells lacking mitochondrial cytochrome c1, but expressing the hybrid NLS-cytochrome c1 proteins, are unable to grow on glycerol since the hybrid proteins are associated primarily with the nucleus. A similar hybrid protein with a mutant NLS is transported to and assembled into the mitochondria. To identify proteins that might be involved in recognition of nuclear localization signals, we isolated conditional-lethal mutants (npl, for nuclear protein localization) that missorted NLS-cytochrome c1 to the mitochondria, allowing growth on glycerol. The gene corresponding to one complementation group (NPL1) encodes a protein with homology to DnaJ, an Escherichia coli heat shock protein. npl1-1 is allelic to sec63, a gene that affects transit of nascent secretory proteins across the endoplasmic reticulum. Rothblatt, J. A., R. J. Deshaies, S. L. Sanders, G. Daum, and R. Schekman. 1989. J. Cell Biol. 109:2641-2652. The npl1 mutants reported here also weakly affect translocation of preprocarboxypeptidaseY across the ER membrane. A normally nuclear hybrid protein containing a NLS fused to invertase and a nucleolar protein are not localized to the nucleus in npl1/sec63 cells at the nonpermissive temperature. Thus, NPL1/SEC63 may act at a very early common step in localization of proteins to the nucleus and the ER. Alternatively, by affecting ER and nuclear envelope assembly, npl1 may indirectly alter assembly of proteins into the nucleus.

Intercompartmental transport of secreted proteins in yeast was analysed using invertase mutants. Deletions and insertions at the BamHI (position + 787) or the Asp718 (position + 1159) sites of the SUC2 gene led to mutant proteins with different behaviour regarding secretion, localization and enzyme activity. The deletion mutants showed accumulation of core glycosylated material in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) a decrease of secreted protein by 5%-30% and loss of enzyme activity. The secreted material was localized in the culture medium and not - as is normal for invertase - in the cell wall. No delay in transport from the Golgi to the cell surface was observed, indicating that the rate-limiting step for secretion is at the ER-Golgi stage. Two insertion mutants, pIPA and pIPB, retained enzyme activity. Mutant pIPB showed 10% secretion, while 60%-70% secretion was observed for pIPA. While the non-secreted material accumulated in the ER, the secreted material was present in the cell wall. The results suggest that the presence of structures incompatible with secretion leads to ER accumulation of mutated invertase.

To understand better the structural requirements of the protein moiety important for N-glycosylation, we have examined the influence of proline residues with respect to their position around the consensus sequence (or sequon) Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr. In the first part of the paper, experiments are described using a cell-free translation/glycosylation system from reticulocytes supplemented with dog pancreas microsomes to test the ability of potential acceptor peptides to interfere with glycosylation of nascent yeast invertase chains. It was found that peptides, being acceptors for oligosaccharide transferase in vitro, inhibit cotranslational glycosylation, whereas nonacceptors have no effect. Acceptor peptides do not abolish translocation of nascent chains into the endoplasmic reticulum. Results obtained with proline-containing peptides are compatible with the notion that a proline residue in an N-terminal position of a potential glycosylation site does not interfere with glycosylation, whereas in the position Xaa or at the C-terminal of the sequon, proline prevents and does not favour oligosaccharide transfer, respectively. This statement was further substantiated by in vivo studies using site-directed mutagenesis to introduce a proline residue at the C-terminal of a selected glycosylation site of invertase. Expression of this mutation in three different systems, in yeast cells, frog oocytes and by cell-free translation/glycosylation in reticulocytes supplemented with dog pancreas microsomes, leads to an inhibition of glycosylation with both qualitative and quantitative differences. This may indicate that host specific factors also contribute to glycosylation.

When incubated at a restrictive temperature, Saccharomyces cerevisiae sec59 mutant cells accumulate inactive and incompletely glycosylated forms of secretory proteins. Three different secretory polypeptides (invertase, pro-alpha-factor, and pro-carboxypeptidase Y) accumulated within a membrane-bounded organelle, presumably the endoplasmic reticulum, and resisted proteolytic degradation unless the membrane was permeabilized with detergent. Molecular cloning and DNA sequence analysis of the SEC59 gene predicted an extremely hydrophobic protein product of 59 kilodaltons. This prediction was confirmed by reconstitution of the sec59 defect in vitro. The alpha-factor precursor, which was translated in a soluble fraction from wild-type cells, was translocated into, but inefficiently glycosylated within, membranes from sec59 mutant cells. Residual glycosylation activity of membranes of sec59 cells was thermolabile compared with the activity of wild-type membranes. Partial restoration of glycosylation was obtained in reactions that were supplemented with mannose or GDP-mannose, but not those supplemented with other sugar nucleotides. These results were consistent with a role for the Sec59 protein in the transfer of mannose to dolichol-linked oligosaccharide.
