Expression of coronavirus E1 and rotavirus VP10 membrane proteins from synthetic RNA

Some viruses acquire their envelopes by budding through internal membranes of their host cell. We have expressed the cloned cDNA for glycoproteins from two such viruses, the E1 protein of coronavirus, which buds in the Golgi region, and VP10 protein of rotavirus, which assembles in the endoplasmic reticulum. Messenger RNA was prepared from both cDNAs by using SP6 polymerase and either translated in vitro or injected into cultured CV1 cells or Xenopus oocytes. In CV1 cells, the E1 protein was localised to the Golgi region and VP10 protein to the endoplasmic reticulum. In Xenopus oocytes, the E1 protein acquired post-translational modifications indistinguishable from the sialylated, O-linked sugars found on viral protein, while the VP10 protein acquired endoglycosidase-H-sensitive N-linked sugars, consistent with their localisation to the Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum, respectively. Thus the two proteins provide models with which to study targeting to each of these intracellular compartments. When the RNAs were expressed in matured, meiotic oocytes, the VP10 protein was modified as before, but the E1 protein was processed to a much lesser extent than in interphase oocytes, consistent with a cessation of vesicular transport during cell division.     

Ultrastructural changes in the liver of the sand lamprey,Lampetra reissneri,during sexual maturation

Ultrastructural changes of hepatocytes were examined in the sand lamprey,Lampetra reissneri, during various phases of the life cycle. In hepatocytes of ammocoetes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum was composed of short cisternae and the Golgi apparatus were scarcely developed, showing no sexual differences at this stage of life cycle. In hepatocytes of female lampreys at the metamorphic stages 4 to 5, the rough endoplasmic reticulum was developed to form long parallel cisternae and the Golgi apparatus were well-developed. The rough endoplasmic reticulum developed further to form stacks of long parallel cisternae extending over the cytoplasm in hepatocytes of females at the young adult stage, and became composed of both long parallel and vesicular cisternae in the cells of females at the adult stage. The Golgi apparatus were invariably welldeveloped in hepatocytes of young adult and adult females. No consipcuous development was observed in profiles of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus in hepatocytes of males during and after metamorphosis. The ultrastructural changes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus observed in hepatocytes of female sand lampreys are considered to have an intimate relation to the activity of vitellogenin synthesis in the liver, and it is suggested that the hepatocytes begin to rapidly synthesize vitellogenin in the sand lamprey at the metamorphic stages 4 to 5.     

Reduction capacity of untreated and of repeatedly isoproterenol treated parotid gland of the mouse

Osmium impregnation was used to show possible differences of reduction capacity of perinuclear space, rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus of unstimulated mouse parotid gland and in the gland after repeated pharmacological doses of isoproterenol. There were some significant differences between the staining of acinar and duct cells. In all intercalated and striated duct cells the staining is dense in the perinuclear space and in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Osmiophility was not detected in the Golgi complex of intercalated duct cells. The staining was also lacking in the perinuclear space and endoplasmic reticulum of the acinar cells. The cis face of the Golgi complex and numerous transitional vesicles in the acinar cells showed variability of the reduction capacity of their membrane segments. In chronically treated acinar cells Os black was lacking in the Golgi cisternae, except that the numerous transitional vesicles were heavily stained. These results reveal characteristic differences of reduction capacity of endomembrane compartments in different parotid glandular cells, as well as between untreated and treated acinar cells.     

Glycosyltransferase activities in Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum fractions isolated from African trypanosomes

Highly enriched Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum fractions were isolated from total microsomes obtained from Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma congolense, and Trypanosoma vivax, and tested for glycosyltransferase activity. Purity of the fractions was assessed by electron microscopy as well as by biochemical analysis. The relative distribution of all the glycosyltransferases was remarkably similar for the three species of African trypanosomes studied. The Golgi complex fraction contained most of the galactosyltransferase activity followed by the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum fractions. The dolichol- dependent mannosyltransferase activities were highest for the rough endoplasmic reticulum, lower for the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and lowest for the Golgi complex. Although the dolichol-independent form of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase was essentially similar in all the fractions, the dolichol-dependent form of this enzyme was much higher in the endoplasmic reticulum fractions than in the Golgi complex fraction. Inhibition of this latter activity in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum fraction by tunicamycin A1 suggests that core glycosylation of the variable surface glycoprotein may occur in this organelle and not in the rough endoplasmic reticulum as previously assumed.     

Characterization of the Golgi retention motif of Rift Valley fever virus G(N) glycoprotein

As Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus, and probably all members of the family Bunyaviridae, matures in the Golgi apparatus, the targeting of the virus glycoproteins to the Golgi apparatus plays a pivotal role in the virus replication cycle. No consensus Golgi localization motif appears to be shared among the glycoproteins of these viruses. The viruses of the family Bunyaviridae synthesize their glycoproteins, G(N) and G(C), as a polyprotein. The Golgi localization signal of RVF virus has been shown to reside within the G(N) protein by use of a plasmid-based transient expression system to synthesize individual G(N) and G(C) proteins. While the distribution of individually expressed G(N) significantly overlaps with cellular Golgi proteins such as beta-COP and GS-28, G(C) expressed in the absence of G(N) localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Further analysis of expressed G(N) truncated proteins and green fluorescent protein/G(N) chimeric proteins demonstrated that the RVF virus Golgi localization signal mapped to a 48-amino-acid region of G(N) encompassing the 20-amino-acid transmembrane domain and the adjacent 28 amino acids of the cytosolic tail.     

Efficient transport of Semliki Forest virus glycoproteins through a Golgi complex morphologically altered by Uukuniemi virus glycoproteins.

In infected BHK21 cells, the glycoproteins G1 and G2 of a temperature-sensitive mutant (ts12) of Uukuniemi virus (UUK) accumulate at 39 degrees C in the Golgi complex (GC) causing an expansion and vacuolization of this organelle. We have studied whether such an altered Golgi complex can carry out the glycosylation and transport to the plasma membrane (PM) of the Semliki Forest virus (SFV) glycoproteins in double-infected cells. Double-immunofluorescence staining showed that approximately 90% of the cells became infected with both viruses. Almost the same final yield of infectious SFV was obtained from double-infected cells as from cells infected with SFV alone. The rate of transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via the GC to the plasma membrane of the SFV glycoproteins was analysed by immunofluorescence, surface radioimmunoassay and pulse-chase labeling followed by immunoprecipitation, endoglycosidase H digestion and SDS-PAGE. The results showed that: the SFV glycoproteins were readily transported to the cell surface in double-infected cells, whereas the UUK glycoproteins were retained in the GC; the transport to the PM was retarded by approximately 20 min, due to a delay between the ER and the central Golgi; E1 of SFV appeared at the PM in a sialylated form. These results indicate that the morphologically altered GC had retained its functional integrity to glycosylate and transport plasma membrane glycoproteins.     

Reduction capacity of untreated and of repeatedly isoproterenol treated parotid gland of the mouse

Stereological study of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex and secretory granules in the B-cells of normal and alloxan-treated mice.

Different B-cell organelles (lamellar and vesicular endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, whole secretory granules and secretory granule cores) were studied stereologically in pancreatic islets from control mice and mice killed 10 or 60 min following alloxan injection. Ten min following alloxan a significant decrease was observed in the volume, surface and numerical densities of whole secretory granules and their cores, and a significant increase was found in the volume and surface densities of vesicular endoplasmic reticulum. At the 60 min observation time, a significant decrease was seen in the volume density of lamellar endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex, and in the volume, surface and numerical densities of whole secretory granules and their cores, and a significant increase was observed in the volume and surface densities of vesicular endoplasmic reticulum, and in the mean values for volume and surface of whole secretory granules and their cores. The stereological data indicate swelling of endoplasmic reticulum, decreased Golgi area, and decreased number and total volume and surface of secretory granules during the first hour after alloxan administration to mice. The observations may be consistent with inhibited insulin synthesis.     

Protein sorting upon exit from the endoplasmic reticulum

It is currently thought that all secretory proteins travel together to the Golgi apparatus where they are sorted to different destinations. However, the specific requirements for transport of GPI-anchored proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus in yeast could be explained if protein sorting occurs earlier in the pathway. Using an in vitro assay that reconstitutes a single round of budding from the endoplasmic reticulum, we found that GPI-anchored proteins and other secretory proteins exit the endoplasmic reticulum in distinct vesicles. Therefore, GPI-anchored proteins are sorted from other proteins, in particular other plasma membrane proteins, at an early stage of the secretory pathway. These results have wide implications for the mechanism of protein exit from the endoplasmic reticulum.     

The CMP-sialic acid transporter is localized in the medial-trans Golgi and possesses two specific endoplasmic reticulum export motifs in its carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic tail

The addition of sialic acid to glycoproteins and glycolipids requires Golgi sialyltransferases to have access to their glycoconjugate substrates and nucleotide sugar donor, CMP-sialic acid. CMP-sialic acid is transported into the lumen of the Golgi complex through the CMP-sialic acid transporter, an antiporter that also functions to transport CMP into the cytosol. We localized the transporter using immunofluorescence and deconvolution microscopy to test the prediction that it is broadly distributed across the Golgi stack to serve the many sialyltransferases involved in glycoconjugate sialylation. The transporter co-localized with ST6GalI in the medial and trans Golgi, showed partial overlap with a medial Golgi marker and little overlap with early Golgi or trans Golgi network markers. Endoplasmic reticulum-retained forms of sialyltransferases did not redistribute the transporter from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting that transporter-sialyltransferase complexes are not involved in transporter localization. Next we evaluated the role of the transporter's N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic tails in its trafficking and localization. The N-tail was not required for either endoplasmic reticulum export or Golgi localization. The C-tail was required for endoplasmic reticulum export and contained di-Ile and terminal Val motifs at its very C terminus that function as independent endoplasmic reticulum export signals. Deletion of the last four amino acids of the C-tail (IIGV) eliminated these export signals and prevented endoplasmic reticulum export of the transporter. This form of the transporter supplied limited amounts of CMP-sialic acid to Golgi sialyltransferases but was unable to completely rescue the transporter defect of Lec2 Chinese hamster ovary cells.     

Deconstructing Golgi inheritance

Eukaryotic cells use a variety of strategies to inherit the Golgi apparatus. During vertebrate mitosis, the Golgi reorganizes dramatically in a process that seems to be driven by the reversible fragmentation of existing Golgi structures and the temporary redistribution of Golgi components to the endoplasmic reticulum. Several proteins that participate in vertebrate Golgi inheritance have been identified, but their detailed functions remain unknown. A comparison between vertebrates and other eukaryotes reveals common mechanisms of Golgi inheritance. In many cell types, Golgi stacks undergo fission early in mitosis. Some cells exhibit a further Golgi breakdown that is probably due to a mitotic inhibition of membrane traffic. In all eukaryotes examined, Golgi inheritance involves either the partitioning of pre-existing Golgi elements between the daughter cells or the emergence of new Golgi structures from the endoplasmic reticulum, or some combination of these two pathways.     

Substructure of cisternal organelles of neuronal perikarya in immature rat brains revealed by quick-freeze and deep-etch techniques

Summary Membrane-bounded organelles possessing cisternae, i.e., rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, in immature rat central neurons were examined by quick-freeze and deep-etch techniques to see how their intracisternal structures are organized and how ribosomes are associated with the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum, 60–100 nm wide, were bridged with randomly-distributed strands (trabecular strands, 12.5 nm in mean diameter). Luminal surfaces of cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum were decorated with various-sized globular particles, some as small as intramembrane particles, and others as large as granules formed by soluble proteins seen in the cytoplasm. A closer examination revealed much thinner strands (3.3. nm in mean diameter). Such thin strands were short, usually winding toward the luminal surface, and sometimes touching the luminal surface with one end. Ribosomes appeared to be embedded into the entire thickness of cross-fractured membranes of endoplasmic reticulum, that is, their internal portions appeared to be situated at almost the same level as the cisternal luminal surface. From the internal portion of ribosomes, single thin strands occasionally protruded into the lumen, suggesting that these thin strands were newly synthesized polypeptides. A horizontal separation within ribosomes appeared to occur at the same level as the hydrophobic middle of the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Interiors of the Golgi apparatus cisternae, which were much narrower than cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum, were similarly bridged with trabecular strands, but the Golgi trabecular strands were thinner and more frequent. Their cisternal lumina were also dotted with globular particles. No identifiable profiles corresponding to the thin strands in the endoplasmic reticulum were observed. Golgi cisternae showed a heterogeneous distribution of membrane granularity; the membrane in narrow cisternal space was granule-rich, while that in expanded space was granule-poor, suggesting a functional compartmentalization of the Golgi cisternae.     

Inheritance of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus

Yeast and mammalian cells use a variety of different mechanisms to ensure that the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are inherited by both daughter cells on cell division. In yeast, endoplasmic reticulum inheritance involves both active microtubule and passive actin-based mechanisms, while the Golgi is transported into the forming daughter cell by an active actin-based mechanism. Animal cells actively partition the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, but association with the mitotic spindle-rather than the actin cytoskeleton-appears to be the mechanism     

Intracellular transport of albumin through the secretory apparatus of rat liver parenchymal cells. An immunocytochemical study

The fine structural localization of albumin in rat liver parenchymal cells was determined by an improved immunocytochemical method and serial sectioning. Albumin in the secretory apparatus of the parenchymal cells was present in segments of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, interrupted with negative segments, in transport vesicles, Golgi saccules, finely anastomosed tubules and vesicles on the trans side of the Golgi complex, and in secretion granules. Horizontally sectioned Golgi saccules contained lipoprotein particles on one side and albumin on the other side. After transport, the vesicles that contained albumin fused with the so-called rigid lamellae on the trans-side of the Golgi complex. Ultrathin serial sections revealed no true structural continuity between the endoplasmic reticulum and the cis-aspect of the Golgi complex. We concluded that secretory proteins are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex by transport vesicles that bud from the endoplasmic reticulum and fuse with the Golgi saccules. These vesicles fuse regularly with the Golgi saccules on the cis-side and occasionally with tubular elements on the trans-aspect that may belong to the so-called GERL.     

Development of the small intestine in the hypophysectomized rat. II. Influence of cortisone, thyroxine, growth hormone, and prolactin.

The intestinal deficiencies caused by hypophysectomy of rats at 6 days of age can be repaired to varying degrees by thyroxine or cortisone but not by growth hormone or prolactin. Administration of daily doses of thyroxine alone from 19–22 days raises duodenal alkaline phosphatase activity to normal levels at 24 days; it has a strong effect on jejunal sucrase and maltase, although these activities remain below those of controls. Thyroxine causes a marked increase in rough endoplasmic reticulum and restores the Golgi complexes to their normal appearance. It also elicits an intensification of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stainability of the brush border. Cortisone acetate given from 19 to 22 days elevates sucrase and maltase to normal levels but does not fully restore phosphatase activity. Like thyroxine, cortisone causes intensification of PAS staining of the brush border and also increases rough endoplasmic reticulum. It seems to stimulate Golgi activity, but results in the appearance of a variety of abnormal forms. The defects in Golgi configuration, brush border carbohydrate content, and activity of glycoprotein enzymes that are bound to the brush border may all reflect impaired glycosylation in the hypophyseoprivic state; the results of thyroxine or cortisone administration suggest that both hormones may affect glycosylation but in different ways.     

Evidence for an alpha-mannosidase in endoplasmic reticulum of rat liver

An alpha-mannosidase activity has been identified in a preparation of rat liver endoplasmic reticulum and shown to be distinct from the previously described Golgi alpha-mannosidases I and II and the lysosomal alpha-mannosidase. The enzyme was solubilized with deoxycholate and separated from other alpha-mannosidases by passage over concanavalin A-Sepharose to which it does not bind. The endoplasmic reticulum alpha-mannosidase cleaves alpha-1,2-linked mannoses from high mannose oligosaccharides and, unlike Golgi alpha-mannosidase I, is active against p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannoside (Km = 0.17 mM). It has no activity toward GlcNAc-Man5GlcNAc2 peptide, the specific substrate of the Golgi alpha-mannosidase II. The endoplasmic reticulum alpha-mannosidase activity toward p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannoside is relatively insensitive to swainsonine, an inhibitor of both the lysosomal alpha-mannosidase and Golgi alpha-mannosidase II. We propose that the endoplasmic reticulum alpha-mannosidase is responsible for the removal of mannose residues from asparagine-linked high mannose type oligosaccharides prior to their entry into the Golgi.     

Immunocytochemical localization of procollagen and fibronectin in human fibroblasts: effects of the monovalent ionophore, monensin

The monovalent ionophore monensin inhibits the secretion of both procollagen and fibronectin from human fibroblasts in culture. The distribution of these proteins in control and inhibited (5 x 10(-7) M monensin) cells has been studied by immunofluorescence microscopy. In control cells, both antigens are present throughout the cytoplasm and in specific deposits in a region adjacent to the nucleus, which we identify as a Golgi zone by electron microscopy. Treatment of cells with monensin causes intracellular accumulation of procollagen and fibronectin, initially in the juxta-nuclear region and also subsequently in peripheral regions. Electron microscope studies reveal that in such cells the juxta-nuclear Golgi zone becomes filled with a new population of smooth-membraned vacuoles and that normal Golgi complexes are not found. Immunocytochemically detected procollagen and fibronectin are localized in the region of these vacuoles, whereas more peripheral deposits correspond to the dilated cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum, which are also caused by monensin. Procollagen and fibronectin are often codistributed in these peripheral deposits. Accumulation of exportable proteins in Golgi-related vacuoles is consistent with previous analyses of the monensin effect. The subsequent development of dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum also containing accumulated proteins may indicate that there is an additional blockade at the exit from the endoplasmic reticulum, or that the synthesized proteins exceed the capacity of the Golgi compartment and that their accumulation extends into the endoplasmic reticulum.     

Persistence of Golgi matrix distribution exhibits the same dependence on Sar1p activity as a Golgi glycosyltransferase

We investigated the relative distributional persistence of Golgi 'matrix' proteins and glycosyltransferases to an endoplasmic reticulum exit block induced by expression of a GDP-restricted Sar1p. HeLa cells were microinjected with plasmid encoding the GDP-restricted mutant (T39N) of Sar1p to block endoplasmic reticulum exit and then scored for the distribution of GM130 (Golgi m atrix protein of 130  kDa), a cis located golgin; p27, a member of the p24 family of proteins; giantin, a protein that interacts indirectly with GM130; and the Golgi glycosyltransferase, N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-2 (GalNAcT2). All of these proteins lost their compact, juxtanuclear distribution and displayed characteristics of endoplasmic reticulum/cytoplasmic accumulation with the same dependence on plasmid concentration. The kinetics of redistribution of GM130 and GalNAcT2 were identical. Expression of Sar1pT39N displaced the COPII coat protein Sec13p from endoplasmic reticulum exit sites consistent with disruption of these sites. This occurred without disturbing the overall distribution of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Furthermore, the reassembly of a juxtanuclear Golgi matrix as assayed by the distribution of GM130 following washout of the Golgi disrupting drug, brefeldin A, was blocked by microinjected Sar1pT39N plasmids. We conclude that the persistence, i.e. stability and maintenance, of Golgi matrix distribution and its reassembly following drug disruption are exquisitely dependent on Sar1p activity.
