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.

Starvation of Mouse hepatoma cells for essential amino acids or glucose results in the mono-ADP-ribosylation of the 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein, GRP78. Here we show that the ADP-ribosylated and non-ADP-ribosylated forms of GRP78 are interconvertible during tryptophan starvation and refeeding. In addition, the ADP-ribosylation of GRP78 was shown to be reversible even during nutritional stress. The overexpressed pool of non-ADP-ribosylated GRP78 synthesized during tunicamycin treatment was available for ADP-ribosylation during subsequent amino acid starvation, especially in the absence of tunicamycin. The reversible ADP-ribosylation of GRP78 could be part of a metabolic control mechanism in operation during nutritional stress.

Cell lines established from the Lepidopteran insect Spodoptera frugiperda (e.g., Sf9) are used routinely as hosts for the expression of foreign proteins by baculovirus vectors. Previously, we showed that human tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) was expressed, N-glycosylated, and secreted by Sf9 cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus (Jarvis DL, Summers MD: Mol Cell Biol 9:214-223, 1989). We also showed that t-PA secretion was blocked by tunicamycin (TM), an inhibitor of N-glycosylation, but not by castanospermine (CS) or N-methyldeoxynojirimycin, inhibitors of the initial steps in N-linked oligosaccharide processing. This suggested that the addition, but not the processing, of N-linked oligosaccharides is required for the secretion of recombinant t-PA from baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells. In this study, we present a more generalized evaluation of the role of N-glycosylation in the transport of recombinant glycoproteins through the Sf9 cell secretory pathway. Several different secretory or membrane-bound glycoproteins were expressed in control, TM-treated, or CS-treated Sf9 cells, and their appearance in the medium or on the cell surface was measured. The results showed that TM blocked the transport of some, but not all, of these proteins, whereas CS did not block the transport of any. This suggests that N-glycosylation is sometimes required for the transport of recombinant glycoproteins through the Sf9 secretory pathway, while processing of the oligosaccharides is not. At least two other proteins, p80 and p31, consistently coimmunoprecipitated with the nonglycosylated precursors of recombinant glycoproteins expressed in TM-treated Sf9 cells. Neither was antigenically related to any of the recombinant proteins. Relatively larger amounts of p80 and p31 were coprecipitated when transport was completely blocked by TM compared to when transport was only reduced or was unaffected. These results suggest that p80 and p31 block the transport of some nonglycosylated glycoprotein precursors in TM-treated Sf9 cells by binding to them and producing transport-incompetent heterooligomeric complexes. If this speculation is correct, then p80 and p31 are functionally analogous to the mammalian immunoglobulin heavy chain binding/glucose-regulated 78 kilodalton protein (BiP/GRP78).

Immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP) associates transiently with various proteins destined for the secretory pathway. To investigate the relationship between BiP and the 78K (K = 10(3) Mr) glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), we have determined a partial amino acid sequence of purified mouse BiP and isolated and sequenced a full-length cDNA clone encoding mouse GRP78. The 26 amino-terminal residues of the mature BiP protein are identical to a sequence of amino acids located near the start of the open reading frame encoding GRP78. A polyclonal antiserum raised against mouse GRP78 protein expressed in bacteria from the cloned GRP78 cDNA could immunoprecipitate complexes consisting of BiP and unfolded forms of immunoglobulin heavy chains. Furthermore, a monoclonal antibody raised against mouse BiP immunoprecipitated mouse GRP78 expressed in monkey CV-1 cells from an SV40-GRP78 recombinant vector. Finally, like the endogenous BiP of simian cells, mouse GRP78 associated with malfolded, non-glycosylated forms of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) when GRP78 and HA were co-expressed from SV40 vectors in CV-1 cells. These studies confirm that BiP is identical to GRP78. Comparison of the nucleic acid and deduced amino acid sequence of mouse GRP78 with those of other rodent and human GRP78s revealed an extremely high degree of sequence identity. BiP/GRP78 is closely related (approximately 60% identity) to the cytoplasmic 70K heat-shock proteins. Surprisingly, the carboxy-terminal 29 amino acids of BiP/GRP78, which are not conserved in HSP70 proteins, are almost identical in sequence to the steroidogenesis activator peptide found in the cytoplasm of rat Leydig tumor cells. Possible relationships between these polypeptides are discussed.

The yeast KAR2 gene was isolated by complementation of a mutation that blocks nuclear fusion. The predicted KAR2 protein sequence is most homologous to mammalian BiP/GRP78 and has several structural features in common with it: a functional secretory signal sequence, a yeast endoplasmic reticulum retention signal (HDEL) at the carboxyl terminus, and the absence of potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Moreover KAR2 is regulated like BiP/GRP78: the level of mRNA is increased by drug treatments and mutations that cause accumulation of secretory precursors in the endoplasmic reticulum. However, unlike BiP/GRP78, KAR2 is also regulated by heat shock. Deletion of the KAR2 gene generated a recessive lethal mutation, showing that BiP/GRP78 function is required for cell viability.

Immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP/GRP78) is a resident endoplasmic reticulum protein that binds tightly to a number of incompletely assembled or aberrant proteins. BiP also binds ATP and can be purified by ATP affinity chromatography. Here we show that an ATPase activity co-purifies with BiP prepared from canine pancreas. The BiP-associated ATPase has a high affinity for ATP but a low turnover number, suggesting a regulatory, rather than an enzymatic role. We also show that submicromolar levels of ATP or ADP decrease the rate of adsorption of [125I]BiP to nitrocellulose filters coated with protein or non-ionic detergents. In contrast, micromolar levels of AMP increase the rate of adsorption. Furthermore, ATP and ADP decrease the susceptibility of BiP to proteolytic degradation, whereas AMP was found to enhance degradation slightly. Adenine nucleotides may therefore induce or stabilize different conformations of BiP even when ATP hydrolysis does not occur.

We have characterized the association between the binding protein, BiP (also known as GRP 78), and misfolded forms of the influenza virus hemagglutinin precursor, HA0. BiP is a heat-shock-related protein that binds to unassembled immunoglobulin heavy chain and to a variety of misfolded proteins in the lumen of the ER. A small fraction (5-10%) of newly synthesized HA0 in CV-1 cells was found to be misfolded and retained in the ER. When glycosylation was blocked with tunicamycin, all of the HA0 produced was similarly misfolded. The misfolded HA0 was retained as relatively small (9-25-S) complexes associated with BiP. In these complexes the top domains of HA0 were correctly folded judging by their reactivity with monoclonal antibodies, but the polypeptides were cross-linked via anomalous interchain disulfides. The association with BiP was non-covalent and easily broken by warming to 37 degrees C or by adding ATP to the lysate. Pulse-chase experiments showed that HA0's self-association into complexes occurred immediately after synthesis and was followed rapidly by BiP association. The misfolded, BiP-associated HA0 was not transported to the plasma membrane but persisted as complexes in the ER for a long period of time before degradation (t1/2 = 6 h). The results suggested that BiP may be part of a quality control system in the ER and that one of its functions is to detect and retain misfolded proteins.

In guinea pig exocrine pancreatic cells intracisternal granules (ICGs) occur at a low frequency within the lumen of the RER. By starving and refeeding guinea pigs or injecting them in CoCl2 solution, the number of these granules is greatly increased. We show here that ICGs contain the complete set of secreted pancreatic digestive enzymes and proenzymes. Two other soluble proteins in the lumen of the RER, GRP 78/BiP and protein disulphide isomerase (PDI), are specifically excluded from ICGs. The formation of ICGs, which occurs without acidification of the RER cisternae, is therefore a sorting event involving the cocondensation of a complete set of secretory enzymes and proenzymes, which for brevity we refer to collectively as the zymogens. With the exception of approximately 50% of the RNase, the zymogens in ICGs are covalently cross-linked by intermolecular disulphide bonds. The synthesis of all three resident ER cisternal proteins--PDI, GRP 78/BiP, and GRP 94--with the carboxy-terminal sequence KDEL, is induced in response to the accumulation of massive amounts of misfolded secretory protein in the ICGs in the lumen of the RER. After injection of rats with large doses of parachlorophenylalanine-methylester, crystals form in the lumen of the RER. We show that these crystals appear to be a lattice of amylase with the other zymogens incorporated between the layers. Both GRP 78/BiP and PDI are excluded from these crystals. The formation of these amylase crystals within the RER and the inclusion of other zymogens is, therefore, also a sorting event. These data establish that in exocrine pancreatic cells zymogens can cocondense in the RER into either amorphous aggregates or crystals that exclude other soluble RER proteins. This demonstrates that cocondensation is a mechanism capable of sorting zymogens within the secretory pathway.

Hemin-induced differentiation of the human erythroleukemia cell line K562 results in the expression and accumulation of erythroid-specific gene products such as embryonic and fetal hemoglobins and the elevated synthesis of the major heat shock protein HSP70. This activity was suggested to represent activation of a heat shock gene during erythroid maturation independent of stress induction. In this study, we demonstrate that hemin induces the transcription of two members of the human HSP70 gene family, HSP70 and GRP78 (BiP). However, the induction of HSP70 by hemin showed characteristics consistent with the molecular events associated with a heat shock or stress response. The increase in HSP70 gene transcription was accompanied by induction of the stress-induced form of the heat shock transcription factor. Moreover, a heat shock element was required for the hemin responsiveness of chimeric heat shock promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase genes transiently expressed in transfected K562 cells.

We have characterized a cDNA clone that encodes a protein related to the 70 kd heat shock protein, but is expressed in normal rat liver. This protein has a hydrophobic leader and is secreted into the endoplasmic reticulum. We show that it is identical with two previously described proteins: GRP78, whose synthesis is induced by glucose starvation, and BiP, which is found bound to immunoglobulin heavy chains in pre-B cells. This protein, which is abundant in antibody-secreting cells, can be released from heavy chains by ATP, a reaction analogous to the release of hsp70 from heat shocked nuclear structures. We propose a specific role for this protein in the assembly of secreted and membrane-bound proteins.
