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.

Transport of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-encoded glycoprotein (G protein) between successive compartments of the Golgi in a cell-free system is measured by the coupled incorporation of N-[3H]acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). This glycosylation occurs when G protein is transported from a "donor" compartment in Golgi membranes that lack GlcNAc transferase I (from VSV-infected CHO clone 15B cells) to the next "acceptor" compartment in a Golgi population from wild-type CHO cells (containing the GlcNAc transferase but not G protein). Here we present a detailed characterization of the conditions required to achieve transport in vitro. We find that donor and acceptor activities differ markedly in certain of their properties. The donor activity is inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide but the acceptor activity is resistant. Donor activity is unstable in the absence of ATP or the cytosol fraction; acceptor activity is much more stable. This asymmetry may reflect the vectorial nature of the underlying biochemistry of protein transport. Both donor and acceptor are trypsin-sensitive, implying a need for cytoplasmically oriented membrane proteins. Transport occurs only in a restricted range of close to physiological conditions. ATP is absolutely required, although as little as 1 microM is sufficient. Transport is inhibited by ATP-gamma-sulfate and vanadate, suggesting that ATP hydrolysis is needed. By contrast, ionophores that dissipate membrane potentials and proton gradients do not inhibit transport. Monensin was also without effect in the cell-free system.

We have examined the effects of deoxynojirimycin and castanospermine, compounds known to inhibit the removal of glucose from high mannose asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, on the formation of Sindbis virus. These drugs inhibited virion formation in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, 15B - the CHO cell line that lacks GlcNAc transferase activity, and chicken embryo fibroblasts, although our results with the latter cells were variable. We analyzed the [3H]mannose-labeled oligosaccharides from Sindbis virus infected 15B cells. Those from control cells were predominantly GlcNAc2Man5. Oligosaccharides from the treated cells were larger than the Man5 species and as expected, were partially resistant to alpha-mannosidase. The growth of Sindbis virus was inhibited to a much greater extent at 37 degrees C than at 30 degrees C in BHK cells treated with either deoxynojirimycin or castanospermine. Both of these compounds also inhibited the proteolytic cleavage of the viral glycoprotein precursor, PE2, to the virion glycoprotein, E2, but did not prevent the migration of the glycoprotein to the cell surface. These results, taken together with our earlier studies with vesicular stomatitis virus (Schlesinger et al., 1984) provide strong evidence that the removal of glucose residues during the processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides is critical for some proteins to achieve a functional conformation.

Two-stage incubations and the selective inhibitory effects of N-ethylmaleimide have revealed three steps in the transport of the vesicular stomatitis viral glycoprotein (G protein) between compartments of the Golgi. These are "priming" of the donor membrane, making G protein available for transfer to the acceptor Golgi stack; "transfer" of G protein to the acceptor stack to form a prefusion complex in which G protein is still separate from the GlcNAc transferase; and "fusion," the steps that result in the delivery of G protein to the same cisternal membranes that contain the GlcNAc transferase. Electron microscopy shows that priming of the donor membrane is accompanied by the formation of a uniform population of small (60-80 nm diameter) vesicles that bud from the rims of the cisternae of the Golgi stacks. This suggests the working hypothesis that the above steps correspond to stages in the budding and fusion of transport vesicles.
