Sindbis and vesicular stomatitis viruses were grown in a line (termed 15B) of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that is deficient in a specific UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine:glycoprotein N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. Both viruses replicated normally in the cell line, but the glycoproteins of the released virus migrated faster on sodium didecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels than did glycoproteins of virus grown in parent CHO cells. Digestion of the viral glycoproteins with Pronase followed by gel filtration demonstrated that the glycoproteins with Pronase followed by gel filtration demonstrated that the glycopeptides of Sinbis-15B virus were much smaller than the glycopeptides of Sindbis-CHO virus. In addition, Sindbis-15B viral glycopeptides but not Sindbis-CHO viral glycopeptides contained terminal alpha-mannose residues as shown by their susceptibility to alpha-mannosidase digestion. These findings demonstrate that the oligosaccharide units of the glycoproteins of vesicular stomatitis and Sinbis viruses are altered when the viruses are grown in 15B cells. We conclude that the N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase that is missing in 15B cells normally participates in the biosynthesis of the oligosaccharide units of the viral glycoproteins, and in the absence of this enzyme incomplete oligosaccharide chanis are produced. Viruses released from 15B cells appear to retain full infectivity; Sindbis-15B virus, however, showed a significant decrease in hemagglutination titer compared with that of Sindbis-CHO virus.

Hamster sarcoma virus (HSV) transformation of Nil-8 fibroblasts is associated with an increase in the average size of N-acetyllactosamine (complex) type N-linked glycans due to an increase in both the average number of branches/chain and in the fraction of N-linked glycans containing poly(GlcNAc(beta 1,3) Gal-(beta 1,4)) (polylactosaminylglycan) chains. Analysis of glycopeptides from the envelope glycoproteins of Sindbis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) grown in Nil-8 and Nil/HSV cells indicated that the transformation-associated shift to larger N-linked oligosaccharides selectively affects some glycosylation sites far more than others. Glycosylation of the Sindbis virus glycoproteins and of Asn-179 of VSV G was similar in Nil-8 and Nil/HSV cells; oligosaccharide processing generally did not proceed beyond the biantennary complex stage. In contrast, Asn-336 of VSV G carried primarily biantennary complex glycans in Nil-8-grown virus (ratio, triantennary, and larger to biantennary complex glycans (tri+/bi) = 0.5) but more highly branched structures in Nil/HSV-grown virus (tri+/bi = 8.1). All of the triantennary or larger oligosaccharides from Asn-336 of Nil/HSV-grown VSV G bound to leukoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin-agarose, indicating the presence of a branch attached to the Man3GlcNAc2 core via a beta 1,6-linked GlcNAc residue and suggesting that increased UDP-GlcNAc:alpha-D-mannoside beta 1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase V (GlcNAc transferase V) activity accompanied transformation. At least 20% of these leukoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin-binding oligosaccharides were sensitive to an enzyme specific for polylactosaminylglycan chains, Escherichia freundii endo-beta-galactosidase.

The biochemical and kinetic properties of UDP-GlcNAc:alpha-D-mannoside (GlcNAc to Man alpha 1,3) beta 1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-TI) have been investigated in the Chinese hamster ovary glycosylation mutant Lec1A. Previous studies showed that, whereas Lec1A cells synthesize complex carbohydrates at levels consistent with partial GlcNAc-TI action, no GlcNAc-TI activity was detected in Lec1A cell-free extracts (Stanley, P., and Chaney, W. (1985) Mol. Cell. Biol. 5, 1204-1211). It is now reported that, under altered reaction conditions, GlcNAc-TI activity can be measured in Lec1A cell extracts. The GlcNAc-TI enzyme in Lec1A.2C has a pH optimum of 7.5 (compared with 6.25 for the parental enzyme) and apparent Km values for Man5GlcNAc2Asn and UDP-GlcNAc that are, respectively, 21- and 44-fold higher than the apparent Km values of GlcNAc-TI from parental Chinese hamster ovary cells. Two independent Lec1A mutants possess GlcNAc-TI activities with similarly altered biochemical and kinetic properties. In fact, under optimal assay conditions for each cell line, the level of GlcNAc-TI in Lec1A extracts is equal to that of parental Chinese hamster ovary cell extracts. Interestingly, the two glycosylation sites of the G glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus are processed quite differently in Lec1A cells. The glycopeptide nearest the carboxyl-terminal appears to be a preferred substrate for the Lec1A GlcNAc-TI activity. The combined data suggest that the Lec1A mutation affects the gene that codes for GlcNAc-TI, giving rise to a structurally altered glycosyltransferase with different biochemical properties.

F2A8, a glycosylation mutant of Chinese hamster ovary cells, was isolated without prior enrichment or selective procedures by screening colonies for reduced [3H]mannose incorporation into macromolecules. F2A8 cells incubated with [3H]mannose synthesized 70% the amount of labeled GDP-mannose found in parental cells, and the same oligosaccharides attached to lipid and protein as did parental cells, but in reduced amounts. Incorporation of radioactivity from labeled mannose into saccharide-lipids and into total glycopeptides of F2A8 was reduced 7-fold compared to parental cells. In addition, glycosylation of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein was reduced in F2A8 cells as assessed by a mobility intermediate between normally glycosylated and unglycosylated protein during sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In vitro assays using membrane preparations showed that F2A8 had parental levels of glucosylphosphoryldolichol synthase and of UDP-GlcNAc:dolichyl phosphate:GlcNAc-phosphotransferase when the enzymatic determinations were done in the presence of exogenous dolichyl phosphate. However, 5-fold less glucosylphosphoryldolichol synthase activity was detected in membranes of F2A8 compared to membranes of parental cells in assays relying on endogenous lipid substrate. F2A8 appears to have reduced amounts of dolichyl phosphate available for its glycosylation reactions.

A biochemical basis for the LEC10 mutant phenotype of Chinese hamster ovary cells has been identified. Independent LEC10 mutants, originally selected for resistance to the toxicity of ricin, have been shown to exhibit reduced binding of 125I-ricin at the cell surface. Although this is indicative of structural changes in cell-surface carbohydrates, labeling of plasma membranes with galactose oxidase/[3H]borohydride revealed no significant differences between mutant and parental cells. Alterations in the carbohydrates synthesized by LEC10 cells were, however, resolved by lectin-affinity chromatography of glycopeptides from the G glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) grown in LEC10. LEC10/VSV glycopeptides contain a fraction which is not bound to concanavalin A-Sepharose but is strongly retarded on E-PHA (erythroagglutinin from Proteus vulgaris)-agarose. In contrast, CHO/VSV glycopeptides or those from a LEC 10 revertant (R.LEC 10/VSV) do not contain carbohydrates with these properties. High-field 1H NMR spectroscopy of the novel LEC10/VSV carbohydrates showed that they are complex, biantennary structures containing N-acetylglucosamine in beta(1,4)-linkage to the beta-linked core mannose residue. The presence of these structures correlates with the expression of the enzyme responsible for the addition of this "bisecting" GlcNAc residue, UDP-GlcNAc:glycopeptide beta-4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GlcNAc-TIII). Parental Chinese hamster ovary cells and the LEC10 revertant possess no detectable GlcNAc-TIII activity. The combined evidence suggests that the LEC10 mutation induces the expression of the GlcNAc-TIII enzyme in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

We describe a cell-free system in which the membrane glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus is rapidly and efficiently transported to membranes of the Golgi complex by a process resembling intracellular protein transport. Transport in vitro is energy-dependent and is accompanied by terminal glycosylation of the membrane glycoprotein (dependent upon UDP-GlcNAc and resulting in resistance to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H).

In a previous communication we reported that the newly synthesized membrane glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus could be transported in crude extracts of CHO cells from endoplasmic reticulum-derived membranes to membranes of the Golgi complex. This conclusion was an indirect one, based on the terminal glycosylation of this glycoprotein, a reaction that was dependent upon a Golgi-specific enzyme, UDP-GlcNAc transferase I. We show here that the Golgi fraction of rat liver will substitute for members of CHO cells as a source of transferase I in this reaction. The use of highly purified fractions of liver Golgi membranes, coupled with the ability to recover these membranes from incubations, has now permitted a direct demonstration of net transport of G protein to these heterologous Golgi membranes. This transport reaction is specific, in that the smooth endoplasmic reticulum fraction will not substitute for the Golgi fraction, is quantitatively significant, involving at least 30% of the viral glycoprotein, and is sustained only in the presence of both ATP and a soluble, cytosol fraction of liver cells.

Autoradiography of colony replicas immobilized on filter paper was used to isolate a Chinese hamster ovary cell line deficient in incorporation of radiolabeled fucose into a trichloroacetic acid-insoluble fraction. This cell line, called 62.1, has the same growth rate at 37 degrees C as wild-type cells, but incorporates five times less fucose into acid-insoluble radioactivity. Chemical analysis of fucose bound to macromolecules also showed a fivefold reduction in the mutant. The fucoproteins of the mutant cell line differ qualitatively from those of wild-type cells as visualized by SDS gel electrophoresis fluorography; no differences were detected between total proteins as visualized by coomassie blue staining. The macromolecular sialic acid content of the mutant was somewhat higher than the wild type (20%). Studies of the synthesis of the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus in mutant and wild-type cells showed that the mutant is unable to synthesize complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides. Enzyme assays show that ths defect in the mutant is due to reduction in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-glycoprotein N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase, a key enzyme in the assembly of complex glycopeptides. Hybridization studies have shown that mutant 62.1 has common mutations belonging to the same complementation group as mutant PhaR1-1. This latter mutant was previously isolated using lectin resistance by Stanley et al. (1975) and was also deficient in the above N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase.

Mixed monolayers containing vesicular stomatitis virus-infected Chinese hamster ovary clone 15B cells (lacking UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transferase I, a Golgi enzyme) and uninfected wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells were formed. Extensive cell fusion occurs after the monolayer is exposed to a pH of 5.0. The vesicular stomatitis virus encoded membrane glycoprotein (G protein) resident in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (labeled with [35S]methionine) or Golgi complex (labeled with [3H]palmitate) of 15B cells at the time of fusion can reach Golgi complexes from wild-type cells after fusion; G protein present in the plasma membrane cannot. Transfer to wild-type Golgi complexes is monitored by the conversion of G protein to an endoglycosidase H-resistant form upon arrival, and also demonstrated by immunofluorescence microscopy. G protein in the Golgi complex of the 15B cells at the time of fusion exhibits properties vis a vis its transfer to an exogenous Golgi population identical to those found earlier in a cell-free system (Fries, E., and J. E. Rothman. 1981. J. Cell Biol., 90: 697-704). Specifically, pulse-chase experiments using the in vivo fusion and in vitro assays reveal the same two populations of G protein in the Golgi complex. The first population, consisting of G protein molecules that have just received their fatty acid, can transfer to a second Golgi population in vivo and in vitro. The second population, entered by G protein approximately 5 min after its acylation, is unavailable for this transfer, in vivo and in vitro. Presumably, this second population consists of those G-protein molecules that had already been transferred between compartments within the 15B Golgi population, in an equivalent process before cell fusion or homogenization for in vitro assays. Evidently, the same compartment boundary in the Golgi complex is detected by these two measurements. The surprisingly facile process of glycoprotein transit between Golgi stacks that occurs in vivo may therefore be retained in vitro, providing a basis for the cell-free system.
