Thirty-seven patients wearing complete dentures were investigated for Candida albicans. Twenty-five of the patients suffered from denture stomatitis and twelve had clinically normal mucosa. Candida albicans was isolated and identified from Sabouraud dextrose agar culture medium models constructed from impressions of the maxilla and from the upper dentures. The presence of Candida albicans was demonstrated in all denture wearers suffering from denture stomatitis and in 82% of denture wearers in a control group. A higher concentration of Candida was found in the denture stomatitis group. Large quantities of Candida resided in the denture base and not in the palate. Candida was also found in the denture base in areas not related to the lesion. The concentration of Candida was related to denture cleanliness.

A procedure is described to select mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells that are conditionally defective for the cell-surface expression of integral membrane glycoproteins, including the hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus. Using a combination of cell sorting and biochemical screening, seven cell lines were obtained that express more cell-surface HA at 32 degrees C than at 39 degrees C. The production of infectious vesicular stomatitis virus, whose growth requires insertion of an integral membrane protein into the plasma membrane, was also temperature conditional in the majority of these mutant cell lines. Five of the lines synthesized apparently normally core-glycosylated HA at the elevated temperature but the protein was neither displayed on the cell surface nor accumulated intracellularly. In these cell lines, little or no terminally glycosylated HA molecules were observed after synthesis at 39 degrees C. By contrast, the core glycosylation of HA and several other integral membrane proteins was abnormal in the remaining two cell lines at both permissive and restrictive temperatures, due to a lesion in a cellular gene(s) that affects the formation of and/or the addition of mannose-rich oligosaccharide chains to newly synthesized polypeptides. Although HA was transported to the plasma membrane at both 32 and 39 degrees C, it did not accumulate on the cell surface at the higher temperature, apparently because of an increased rate of degradation.

Cells infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus, ts045, or transfected with the plasmid vector pdTM12 produce mutant forms of the G protein that remain within the ER. The mutant G proteins were isolated by immunoprecipitation from cells metabolically labeled with [2-3H]mannose to facilitate analysis of the protein-linked oligosaccharides. The 3H-labeled glycopeptides recovered from the immunoprecipitated G proteins contained high mannose-type oligosaccharides. Structural analysis, however, indicated that 60-78% of the 3H-mannose-labeled oligosaccharides contained a single glucose residue and no fewer than eight mannose residues. The 3H-labeled ts045 oligosaccharides were deglucosylated and processed to complex-type units after the infected cells were returned to the permissive temperature. When shifted to the permissive temperature in the presence of a proton ionophore, the G protein oligosaccharides were deglucosylated but remained as high mannose-type units. The glucosylated state was observed, therefore, when the G protein existed in an altered conformation. The ts045 G protein oligosaccharides were deglucosylated in vitro by glucosidase II at both the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. G protein isolated from ts045-infected cells labeled with [6-3H]galactose in the presence of cycloheximide contained 3H-glucose-labeled monoglucosylated oligosaccharides, indicating that the high mannose oligosaccharides were glucosylated in a posttranslational process. These results suggest that aberrant G proteins are selectively modified by resident ER enzymes to retain monoglucosylated oligosaccharides.

Palmitylation of vesicular stomatitis virus G and Sindbis virus E1 glycoproteins has been studied in relation to the transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex. Incubation of infected cells at 15 degrees C prevents the transport of newly synthesized membrane proteins from the ER to the Golgi (Saraste, J., and Kuismanen, E. (1984) Cell 38, 535-549). In these conditions, also palmitylation of G protein and of E1 glycoprotein is blocked. When the transport is restored by increasing the temperature, palmitylation occurs quickly and is followed by the complete trimming of peripheral mannose residues due to mannosidase I (a putative cis-Golgi function). Immunofluorescence analysis showed that the G glycoprotein accumulated at 15 degrees C in structures distinct from both ER and Golgi. These studies suggest that transport from the ER to the cis-Golgi involves intermediate compartments.

G1 and G2 are two forms of the membrane-integrated G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus that migrate differently in gel electrophoresis because G1 is modified by high-mannose and G2 by complex-type oligosaccharide side chains. The cytoplasmic domain in G1 is less exposed to cleavage by several proteases than in G2 molecules. Acylation by palmitic acid as well as inhibition of carbohydrate processing by swainsonine and deoxynojirimycin resulted in the same pattern of proteolytic sensitivity of both glycoproteins as in untreated cells. In contrast, accessibility of the cytoplasmic domain to proteases did not change when the intracellular transport of the G protein was blocked in carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone- or monensin-treated BHK-21 cells, respectively. The results suggest that the increase in accessibility of the cytoplasmic tail of the G protein occurs after the monensin block in the trans-Golgi and might reflect a conformational change of functional significance--i.e., making the cytoplasmic domain of the viral spike protein competent for its interaction with the viral core, inducing thereby the formation of the budding virus particle.

We have used a protocol for internalization of ricin, a ligand binding to plasma membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids with terminal galactosyl residues, and infection with the vesicular stomatitis virus ts 045 mutant in BHK-21 cells to determine whether internalized plasma membrane molecules tagged by ricin reach distinct compartments of the biosynthetic-exocytic pathway. At 39.5 degrees C newly synthesized G protein of ts 045 was largely prevented from leaving the endoplasmic reticulum. At the same temperature ricin was endocytosed and reached, in addition to endosomes and lysosomes, elements of the Golgi complex. When the temperature was lowered to 19.5 degrees C, no more ricin was delivered to the Golgi complex, but now G protein accumulated in the Golgi stacks and the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Double-labeling immunogold cytochemistry on ultracryosections was used to detect G protein and ricin simultaneously. These data, combined with stereological and biochemical methods, showed that approximately 5% of the total amount of ricin within the cells, corresponding to 6-8 X 10(4) molecules per cell, colocalized with G protein in the Golgi complex after 60 min at 39.5 degrees C. Of this amount approximately 70-80% was present in the TGN. Since most of the ricin molecules remain bound to their binding sites at the low pH prevailing in compartments of the endocytic pathway, the results indicate that a fraction of the internalized plasma membrane molecules with terminal galactose are not recycled directly from endosomes or delivered to lysosomes, but are routed to the Golgi complex. Also, the results presented here, in combination with other recent studies on ricin internalization, suggest that translocation of the toxic ricin A-chain to the cytosol occurs in the TGN.

The effect of some cellular function inhibitors on adsorption and successive events of penetration of vesicular stomatitis virus to phylogenetically unrelated permissive cells was investigated. Treatment of HeLa, CER, EPC and Aedes albopictus cells with colcemide and cytochalasin D which affect cytoskeleton organization indicated that microfilaments but not microtubules were involved in the early events of VSV infection. Inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation such as dinitrophenol and sodium azide, and the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose, did not allow multiplication of prebound virions, demonstrating that VSV replication is largely energy dependent in either host cells examined.

Research was carried out on the adherence of a mannose-resistant uropathogenic E. coli strain to CER cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv). A decrease in the bacterial adhesion was noticed during the early phases of viral infection, probably due to a close relationship between cell receptors for VSV and E. coli, both containing glycolipids and phospholipids. In a later phase of viral infection, on the contrary, corresponding to the appearance on the cell surface of newly synthesized viral antigens, bacterial adherence was enhanced. This last observation suggested a possible predisposition of the host to bacterial colonization during renal viral infection.

The structures of the asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of several variant forms of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein transiently expressed from cloned cDNAs have been determined. Glycopeptides isolated from forms of the G protein that reach the cell surface or that are secreted into the medium are virtually identical; they contain complex-type oligosaccharides whose nonreducing ends terminate in galactose and sialic acid residues. In contrast, forms of the G protein that remain intracellular possess oligosaccharides at intermediate stages in the processing pathway. One deletion mutant, delta 1473, codes for a protein that remains in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rose, J. K., and J. E. Bergmann, 1982, Cell, 30:753-762) and contains only high mannose-type oligosaccharides. Another mutant, delta 1554, codes for a glycoprotein that contains oligosaccharides of primarily two classes. One class is of the high mannose type and is similar to those found on the protein coded for by delta 1473. However, the major class contains biantennary and more highly branched complex-type oligosaccharides that terminate in N-acetylglucosamine rather than galactose or sialic acid residues. These data suggest that the protein coded for by delta 1554 migrates to the Golgi apparatus, but does not enter the more distal compartment(s) of the organelle which contains galactosyl- and sialyltransferases.

We have examined and compared the host-cell-dependent glycosylation of the G glycoprotein of vesicular-stomatitis virus (Hazelhurst strain) and the E1 and E2 glycoproteins of Sindbis virus replicated by baby-hamster kidney, chicken-embryo fibroblast and mouse L929 monolayer cell cultures. The results of endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H digestion of viral proteins labelled with [3H]mannose or leucine and Pronase-digested glycopeptides labelled with [3H]mannose indicated that both the G protein and the E1 protein contained a similar mixture of endoglycosidase-resistant oligosaccharides of the complex acidic type and less extensively processed endoglycosidase-sensitive oligosaccharides of the neutral or hybrid type, with a relatively greater content of the endoglycosidase-sensitive oligosaccharides for virus replicated in the chicken as against hamster or mouse cells. A large fraction of the G protein and the majority of the E1 proteins from the mammalian host cells contained acidic-type oligosaccharides at both glycosylation sites, whereas most of the G and E1 glycoproteins from the avian host cells and essentially all of the E2 protein from all three host-cell types contained an acidic-type oligosaccharide at one site and neutral- or hybrid-type oligosaccharide at the other site. The relative increase in neutral- and hybrid-type oligosaccharides with five-mannose core structures observed for the G and E1 proteins of virus released from the avian host cells suggested that two specific steps in oligosaccharide processing (mediated by alpha-mannoside II and N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I) were less efficient at one of the glycosylation sites of the vesicular-stomatitis-virus G protein and Sindbis-virus E1 protein in the avian as against mammalian host cells.
