Transgenic plants are attractive biological systems for the large-scale production of pharmaceutical proteins. In particular, seeds offer special advantages, such as ease of handling and long-term stable storage. Nevertheless, most of the studies of the expression of antibodies in plants have been performed in leaves. We report the expression of a secreted (sec-Ab) or KDEL-tagged (Ab-KDEL) mutant of the 14D9 monoclonal antibody in transgenic tobacco leaves and seeds. Although the KDEL sequence has little effect on the accumulation of the antibody in leaves, it leads to a higher antibody yield in seeds. sec-Ab(Leaf) purified from leaf contains complex N-glycans, including Lewis(a) epitopes, as typically found in extracellular glycoproteins. In contrast, Ab-KDEL(Leaf) bears only high-mannose-type oligosaccharides (mostly Man 7 and 8) consistent with an efficient endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention/cis-Golgi retrieval of the antibody. sec-Ab and Ab-KDEL gamma chains purified from seeds are cleaved by proteases and contain complex N-glycans indicating maturation in the late Golgi compartments. Consistent with glycosylation of the protein, Ab-KDEL(Seed) was partially secreted and sorted to protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) in seeds and not found in the ER. This dual targeting may be due to KDEL-mediated targeting to the PSV and to a partial saturation of the vacuolar sorting machinery. Taken together, our results reveal important differences in the ER retention and vacuolar sorting machinery between leaves and seeds. In addition, we demonstrate that a plant-made antibody with triantennary high-mannose-type N-glycans has similar Fab functionality to its counterpart with biantennary complex N-glycans, but the former antibody interacts with protein A in a stronger manner and is more immunogenic than the latter. Such differences could be related to a variable immunoglobulin G (IgG)-Fc folding that would depend on the size of the N-glycan. 相似文献

Eukaryotic cells have developed sophisticated strategies to contend with environmental stresses faced in their lifetime. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs when the accumulation of unfolded proteins within the ER exceeds the folding capacity of ER chaperones. ER stress responses have been well characterized in animals and yeast, and autophagy has been suggested to play an important role in recovery from ER stress. In plants, the unfolded protein response signaling pathways have been studied, but changes in ER morphology and ER homeostasis during ER stress have not been analyzed previously. Autophagy has been reported to function in tolerance of several stress conditions in plants, including nutrient deprivation, salt and drought stresses, oxidative stress, and pathogen infection. However, whether autophagy also functions during ER stress has not been investigated. The goal of our study was to elucidate the role and regulation of autophagy during ER stress in Arabidopsis thaliana. 相似文献

Herp is a stress-response protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Herp was proposed to improve ER-folding, decrease ER protein load, and participate in ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Intra-muscle-fiber ubiquitinated multiprotein-aggregates containing, among other proteins, either amyloid-beta (Abeta) or phosphorylated tau are characteristic of sporadic inclusion-body myositis (s-IBM). ER stress and proteasome inhibition appear to play a role in s-IBM pathogenesis. We have now studied Herp in s-IBM muscle fibers and in ER-stress-induced or proteasome-inhibited cultured human muscle fibers. In s-IBM muscle fibers: (i) Herp was strongly immunoreactive in the form of aggregates, which co-localized with Abeta, GRP78, and beta2 proteasome subunit; (ii) Herp mRNA and protein were increased. In ER-stress-induced cultured human muscle fibers: (i) Herp immunoreactivity was diffusely increased; (ii) Herp mRNA and protein were increased. In proteasome-inhibited cultured human muscle fibers: (i) Herp immunoreactivity was in the form of aggregates; (ii) Herp protein was increased, but its mRNA was not. Accordingly, in s-IBM muscle fibers: (i) increase of Herp might be due to both ER-stress and proteasome inhibition; (ii) co-localization of Herp with Abeta, proteasome, and ER-chaperone GRP78 could reflect its possible role in processing and degradation of cytotoxic proteins in ER. 相似文献

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is where the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are loaded with epitopes to cause an immune cellular response. Most of the protein antigens are degraded in the cytoplasm to amino acids and few epitopes reach the ER. Antigen targeting of this organelle by Calreticulin (CRT) fusion avoids this degradation and enhances the immune response. We constructed a recombinant adenovirus to express the E7 antigen with an ER‐targeting signal peptide (SP) plus an ER retention signal (KDEL sequence). In cell‐culture experiments we demonstrated that this new E7 antigen, SP‐E7‐KDEL, targeted the ER. Infection of mice with this recombinant adenovirus that expresses SP‐E7‐KDEL showed interferon induction and tumour‐protection response, similar to that provided by an adenovirus expressing the E7 antigen fused to CRT. This work demonstrated that just by adding a SP and the KDEL sequence, antigens can be targeted and retained in the ER with a consequent enhancement of immune response and tumour protection. These results will have significant clinical applications. 相似文献

Crossing the divide--transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The transport of proteins between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus in plants is an exciting and constantly expanding topic, which has attracted much attention in recent years. The study of protein transport within the secretory pathway is a relatively new field, dating back to the 1970s for mammalian cells and considerably later for plants. This may explain why COPI- and COPII-mediated transport between the ER and the Golgi in plants is only now becoming clear, while the existence of these pathways in other organisms is relatively well documented. We summarize current knowledge of these protein transport routes, as well as highlighting key differences between those of plant systems and those of mammals and yeast. These differences have necessitated the study of plant-specific aspects of protein transport in the early secretory pathway, and this review discusses recent developments in this area. Advances in live-cell-imaging technology have allowed the observation of protein movement in vivo, giving a new insight into many of the processes involved in vesicle formation and protein trafficking. The use of these new technologies has been combined with more traditional methods, such as protein biochemistry and electron microscopy, to increase our understanding of the transport routes in the cell. 相似文献

The entry of substrates into, and the export of glururonides from, the lumen of hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in vitro (sealed microsomes) has been measured using radioactivity-labelled materials and a rapid filtration assay. Analysis of liver microsomes from a jaundiced patient showed the accumulation of bilirubin glucuronides within the lumen of the ER. Further analysis of these hepatic microsomes revealed that newly synthesized 1-naphthol glucuronide could exit from the microsomes whereas billrubin glucuronide was accumulated within the microsomes. These results suggest the existence of mechanisms for the sorting of small molecules, destined for export through bile canalicular or basolateral plasma membranes, by ER. Furthermore, these sorting processes may be regulated by specific transporters within the ER. 相似文献

Viral glycoproteins fold and oligomerize in the endoplasmic reticulum of the host cell. They employ the cellular machinery and receive assistance from cellular folding factors. During the folding process, they are retained in the compartment and their structural quality is checked by the quality control system of the endoplasmic reticulum. A special characteristic that distinguishes viral fusion proteins from most cellular proteins is the extensive conformational change they undergo during fusion of the viral and cellular membrane. Many viral proteins fold in conjunction with and dependent on a viral partner protein, sometimes even synthesized from the same mRNA. Relevant for folding is that viral glycoproteins from the same or related virus families may consist of overlapping sets of domain modules. The consequences of these features for viral protein folding are at the heart of this review. 相似文献

Peculiar undulating cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum have been observed in the spermatids of the opisthobranch mollusc Spurilla neapolitana. Analysis of sections suggests that these arrays of ER might be a multilamellar structure consisting of paired cytomembranes molded into parallel, conical elevations with hexagonal bases. The structure is associated most frequently with the Golgi complex of the spermatid but its function is unknown. Other reports of similar arrays of ER in both plant and animal cells are discussed and compared with those of Spurilla spermatids. 相似文献

TorsinA is a membrane-associated enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen that is mutated in DYT1 dystonia. How it remains in the ER has been unclear. We report that a hydrophobic N-terminal domain (NTD) directs static retention of torsinA within the ER by excluding it from ER exit sites, as has been previously reported for short transmembrane domains (TMDs). We show that despite the NTD's physicochemical similarity to TMDs, it does not traverse the membrane, defining torsinA as a lumenal monotopic membrane protein and requiring a new paradigm to explain retention. ER retention and membrane association are perturbed by a subset of nonconservative mutations to the NTD, suggesting that a helical structure with defined orientation in the membrane is required. TorsinA preferentially enriches in ER sheets, as might be expected for a lumenal monotopic membrane protein. We propose that the principle of membrane-based protein sorting extends to monotopic membrane proteins, and identify other proteins including the monotopic lumenal enzyme cyclooxygenase 1 (prostaglandin H synthase 1) that share this mechanism of retention with torsinA. 相似文献

Lead (Pb) poisoning continues to be a significant health risk because of its pervasiveness in the environment, its known neurotoxic effects in children, and potential endogenous exposure from Pb deposited in bone. New information about mechanisms by which Pb enters cells and its organelle targets within cells are briefly reviewed. Toxic effects of Pb on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are considered in detail, based on recent evidence that Pb induces the expression of the gene for 78-kD glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) and other ER stress genes. GRP78 is a molecular chaperone that binds transiently to proteins traversing through the ER and facilitates their folding, assembly, and transport. Models are presented for the induction of ER stress by Pb in astrocytes, the major cell type of the central nervous system, in which Pb accumulates. A key feature of the models is disruption of GRP78 function by direct Pb binding. Possible pathways by which Pb-bound GRP78 stimulates the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the ER are discussed, specifically transduction by IRE1/ATF6 and/or IRE1/JNK. The effect of Pb binding to GRP78 in the ER is expected to be a key component for understanding mechanisms of Pb-induced ER stress gene expression. 相似文献

Topology of molecular machines of the endoplasmic reticulum: a compilation of proteomics and cytological data 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a key organelle of the secretion pathway involved in the synthesis of both proteins and
lipids destined for multiple sites within and without the cell. The ER functions to both co- and post-translationally modify
newly synthesized proteins and lipids and sort them for housekeeping within the ER and for transport to their sites of function
away from the ER. In addition, the ER is involved in the metabolism and degradation of specific xenobiotics and endogenous
biosynthetic products. A variety of proteomics studies have been reported on different subcompartments of the ER providing
an ER protein dictionary with new data being made available on many protein complexes of relevance to the biology of the ER
including the ribosome, the translocon, coatomer proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, folding proteins, the antigen-processing
machinery, signaling proteins and proteins involved in membrane traffic. This review examines proteomics and cytological data
in support of the presence of specific molecular machines at specific sites or subcompartments of the ER. 相似文献

We describe a procedure for disassembling rat liver rough microsomes, which allows the purification of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Membrane-bound ribosomes and adsorbed proteins are first detached by washing rough microsomes with 5 mM Na-pyrophosphate. In a second step, the vesicle membrane is opened by digitonin, with concomitant release of the luminal content. The purification is monitored at each step by electron microscopy, and by assaying chemical constituents (protein, phospholipid, RNA) and marker enzymes for the main subcellular organelles. The final membrane preparation is representative of the ER, since it contains 24.1% of the liver glucose 6-phosphatase with a relative specific activity of 14.2. Contaminants represent less than 5% of its protein content. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by immunoblot analysis, reveals that the ribophorins I and II, two established markers of the rough (d) domain are still present in the final membrane preparation. It also contains the docking protein (or signal recognition particle receptor) and protein disulfide isomerase, and has conserved the functional capacity to remove co- and post-translationally the signal peptide of pre-secretory proteins. The membrane preparation is suitable for studies on the polypeptide composition of the d domain. 相似文献

Summary— Zebrafish hepatocytes respond to stimulation with estradiol 17β (E2) with an extreme enlargement of the endomembrane system, especially the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and when stimulation is stopped with a rapid degradation of enlarged endomembranes. Two pathways for degradation of ER were studied: a) the autophagy which was evaluated by stereological measurement; and b) the activity of cytosolic phospholipase B (PL-B) measured by a titration method. After a 30-day treatment with E2 a six-fold increase of the surface density of ER was accompanied by an increase of both autophagy and PL-B activity. 2 days after stopping the stimulation with E2 the ER vesiculated and its surface density decreased to the half value. Interestingly, at the same time autophagic vacuoles (AV) almost disappeared from hepatocytes, while the activity of PL-B reached its maximum at which it persisted for a further 4 days. After 4–6 days without E2 the cistern of ER became flattened again and new AVs reappeared. The data suggest that the regulation mechanisms of endomembrane degradation by PL-B and autophagy do not depend on each other and also that the appearance of AV is strongly related to the shape of ER. 相似文献

Filamentous fungi are composed of hyphal compartments divided by septa, which communicate via septal pores. Apical compartments can elongate to over 100 microm without septum formation and possess a polarized distribution of organelles. In Aspergillus, subapical compartments are arrested in interphase but can reinitiate mitosis and growth by branching. Recent reports using green fluorescent protein (GFP) technology have demonstrated the highly differentiated localization of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network in various regions of the hyphae: the gradient distribution from the apical region, the localization along the septum, differential distributions in adjacent compartments, and the dynamic morphological change during septum formation. In this review the spatial regulation of the ER network in multicellular filamentous fungi is discussed. 相似文献

Mass transport of proform of a KDEL-tailed cysteine proteinase (SH-EP) to protein storage vacuoles by endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicle is involved in protein mobilization in germinating seeds 下载免费PDF全文
A vacuolar cysteine proteinase, designated SH-EP, is expressed in the cotyledon of germinated Vigna mungo seeds and is responsible for the degradation of storage proteins. SH-EP is a characteristic vacuolar proteinase possessing a COOH-terminal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention sequence, KDEL. In this work, immunocytochemical analysis of the cotyledon cells of germinated V. mungo seeds was performed using seven kinds of antibodies to identify the intracellular transport pathway of SH-EP from ER to protein storage vacuoles. A proform of SH-EP synthesized in ER accumulated at the edge or middle region of ER where the transport vesicle was formed. The vesicle containing a large amount of proSH-EP, termed KV, budded off from ER, bypassed the Golgi complex, and was sorted to protein storage vacuoles. This massive transport of SH-EP via KV was thought to mediate dynamic protein mobilization in the cotyledon cells of germinated seeds. We discuss the possibilities that the KDEL sequence of KDEL-tailed vacuolar cysteine proteinases function as an accumulation signal at ER, and that the mass transport of the proteinases by ER-derived KV-like vesicle is involved in the protein mobilization of plants. 相似文献

The oncogenic protein Bcl-2 which is expressed in membranes of different subcellular organelles protects cells from apoptosis induced by endogenic stimuli. Most of the results published so far emphasise the importance of Bcl-2 at the mitochondria. Several recent observations suggest a role of Bcl-2 at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Bcl-2 located at the ER was shown to interfere with apoptosis induction by Bax, ceramides, ionising radiation, serum withdrawal and c-myc expression. Although the detailed functions of Bcl-2 at the ER remain elusive, several speculative mechanisms may be supposed. For instance, Bcl-2 at the ER may regulate calcium fluxes between the ER and the mitochondria. In addition, Bcl-2 is able to interact with the endoplasmic protein Bap31 thus avoiding caspase activation at the ER. Bcl-2 may also abrogate the function of ER located pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 like proteins by heterodimerization. Current data on the function of Bcl-2 at the ER, its role for the modulation of calcium fluxes and its influence on caspase activation at the ER are reviewed. 相似文献

We have studied by quantitative electron microscopy the relationship of specific hepatic cellular organelles to glycogen synthesis using dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, to induce glycogen deposition in livers of adrenalectomized rats. Chemical and ultrastructural glycogen determinations revealed that the livers of fasted adrenalectomized rats had very low glycogen levels. Dexamethasone caused a time-related increase in hepatic glycogen which was the result of increases in the number of hepatocytes depositing glycogen and the amount of glycogen in each cell. The surface density of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) in centrilobular and periportal hepatocytes also increased after treatment with dexamethasone; this increase preceded glycogen deposition. The newly deposited glycogen was spatially associated with membranes of SER, and a continued increase in SER surface density was correlated temporally with the increasing glycogen volume density. In both centrilobular and periportal hepatocytes, the suface density of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) initially decreased after dexamethasone administration but later increased. These data support the hypothesis that dexamethasone-induced enhancement of SER is functionally associated with the increase in glycogen, and that although the initial increase in SER may occur through transformation of RER to SER, later increases in SER require synthesis of new membranes. 相似文献
