Folding and assembly of polypeptides translocated into the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is facilitated by a set of resident proteins in the lumen of the RER. We studied the regulation of synthesis of the RER luminal proteins immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP) and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), and of the cytosolic stress 70 protein (hsc70) after hormonal stimulation of the pancreatic exocrine secretory pathway. Their rate of synthesis was assessed at both mRNA and protein levels and under two experimental conditions that are associated with large increases in exocrine production. After in vivo stimulation of the pancreas by either endogenous release of cholecystokinin (CCK) following proteinase inhibitor feeding (FOY-305) or by in vivo infusion of the pancreatic secretagogue cerulein, the relative rates of synthesis detected for BiP and PDI were enhanced 2.5 to 4-fold compared to control. Interestingly, the kinetics and the degree of hsc70 mRNA induction were almost identical to those of BiP and PDI, suggesting coordinated hormonal regulation of BiP, PDI as hormonal stimulation was even twice that following heat shock treatment. The mRNA levels of calreticulin (CaBP3) increased up to 2.3-fold with a kinetic comparable to that of BiP, PDI and hsc 70, while CaBP1 and the RER membrane proteins, ribophorin I and the signal recognition particle receptor did not show any changes in their relative mRNA amounts after hormonal stimulation. The increase in the rates of PDI and chaperone biosynthesis exceeds the associated increase in total protein biosynthesis. In vitro experiments, using transformed rat acinar cells (AR4-2J) in which pancreatic enzyme synthesis can be induced by glycocorticoid hormones, demonstrated that induction of PDI and chaperone mRNA synthesis preceded extensive mRNA expression of secretory proteins.

It has been shown previously that CaBP2, the rat analog of the murine protein ERp72, and CaBP1, the rat analogue of the hamster protein P5, represent members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family and are able to catalyze the reduction of insulin in the presence of various reductants (Nguyen Van et al., 1993). We have now examined the abilities of CaBP2 and CaBP1 to catalyze the renaturation of denatured reduced model proteins. Both CaBP2 and CaBP1 catalyzed the reappearance of the biological activity of the denatured reduced Fab fragment of a monoclonal anti-human creatine phosphokinase antibody. The reaction rate was positively correlated with the amount of CaBP2 or CaBP1 and dependent on the GSH/GSSG ratio (maximum at GSH/GSSG = 1). Peptide prolyl-cis,trans-isomerase (PPI), which catalyzed some renaturation on its own, showed synergistic effects with PDI, CaBP2, and CaBP1. No synergistic effects could be observed when the combinations CaBP2 + PDI, CaBP1 + PDI, or CaBP2 + CaBP1 were tested. Variation of [Ca2+] between 0 and 1 mM did not have any effect on the rate or amount of renaturation catalyzed by CaBP2, CaBP1, or PDI, nor were these parameters affected by the simultaneous presence of BiP or grp94. Both CaBP2 and CaBP1 catalyzed also the renaturation of denatured reduced ribonuclease AIII in a way that depended on the amounts of CaBP2 or CaBP1 and on the redox potential of the redox system used (GSH/GSSG or CSH/CSSC). PPI alone had no effect on the rate of RNase AIII renaturation and did not significantly affect renaturation catalyzed by PDI, CaBP2, or CaBP1. PDI showed a moderate but significant synergism with CaBP2, and a strong synergism with CaBP1. The results indicate that both CaBP2 and CaBP1 can catalyze the formation of disulfide bonds and protein disulfide isomerization and may thus be involved in the folding of nascent proteins in the secretory pathway. This does not exclude the possibility of additional functions of these proteins in the pre-Golgi compartments.

We demonstrate the existence of a large endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized multiprotein complex that is comprised of the molecular chaperones BiP; GRP94; CaBP1; protein disulfide isomerase (PDI); ERdj3, a recently identified ER Hsp40 cochaperone; cyclophilin B; ERp72; GRP170; UDP-glucosyltransferase; and SDF2-L1. This complex is associated with unassembled, incompletely folded immunoglobulin heavy chains. Except for ERdj3, and to a lesser extent PDI, this complex also forms in the absence of nascent protein synthesis and is found in a variety of cell types. Cross-linking studies reveal that the majority of these chaperones are included in the complex. Our data suggest that this subset of ER chaperones forms an ER network that can bind to unfolded protein substrates instead of existing as free pools that assembled onto substrate proteins. It is noticeable that most of the components of the calnexin/calreticulin system, which include some of the most abundant chaperones inside the ER, are either not detected in this complex or only very poorly represented. This study demonstrates an organization of ER chaperones and folding enzymes that has not been previously appreciated and suggests a spatial separation of the two chaperone systems that may account for the temporal interactions observed in other studies.

Secretion of newly synthesized proteins across the mammalian rough endoplasmic reticulum (translocation) is supported by the membrane proteins Sec61p and TRAM, but may also include accessory factors, depending on the particular translocation substrate. Studies designed to investigate the binding of anti-peptide antibodies to the carboxyl terminus of the alpha-subunit of Sec61 (Sec61palpha) lead us to the isolation of a complex of proteins that occlude the cytosolic face of Sec61palpha in microsomes that have been prepared by standard protocols used to study translocation in vitro [Walter, P., and Blobel, G. (1983) Methods Enzymol. 96, 84-93]. This complex was shown by nanospray tandem mass spectrometry to be composed of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), calcium binding protein 1 (CABP1/P5), 72 kDa endoplasmic reticulum protein (ERp72), and BiP (heat shock protein A5/HSPA5), and has been named TR-PDI for "translocon-resident protein disulfide isomerase complex". This constitutes a novel location for these proteins, which are known to be major constituents of the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. We have not established the function of TR-PDI at this location, but did observe that the absence of this complex results in a relative loss of correct topology of prion protein insertion across RER membranes, indicating the possibility of a functional role in vivo.
