The expression of viral envelope proteins on the plasma membrane domains of the epithelial cell line, MDCK, is polar. Influenza virus infection of these cells leads to expression of the viral haemagglutinin and neuraminidase glycoproteins on the apical domain of the plasma membrane while vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection yields basolateral expression of the sialic acid-bearing G protein. We have exploited the ability of the influenza neuraminidase to desialate the G protein of VSV to test for contact between these proteins during their intracellular transport to separate plasma membrane domains. We were able to select for VSV-G protein expression in doubly-infected cells because VSV protein production was accelerated in cells pre-infected with influenza virus. During double infection the envelope proteins of both viruses displayed the same polar localization as during single infection but the VSG-G protein was undersialated due to the action of the influenza neuraminidase. Incubation of singly-infected cells at 20 degrees C blocked the transport of VSV-G protein to the cell surface and resulted in increased sialation of the protein over that seen at 37 degrees C. This suggests that G protein is held in contact with the sialyl transferase at this temperature. 20 degrees C incubations of doubly-infected cells also produced the undersialated G protein characteristic of interaction with the neuraminidase. We conclude that most of the newly synthesised basolaterally-directed G protein is in physical contact with the majority of the neuraminidase through the terminal steps of Golgi processing. 相似文献

In influenza virus-infected monolayers of the epithelial cell line MDCK the viral envelope proteins, haemagglutinin and neuraminidase, are targetted specifically to the apical surface. In this study we have tested the hypothesis that the polarized delivery of these proteins to the plasma membrane involves the operation of a receptor that cycles between the trans Golgi network and the plasma membrane, binding the proteins at low pH in the former compartment and releasing them at normal extracellular pH in the latter. The hypothesis predicts that apical, but not basolateral, low pH would eventually delay or block delivery of the proteins to the plasma membrane. We found that basolateral low pH in fact had the more profound effect, in line with its greater effect on intracellular pH. We conclude that the hypothesis is not valid, and that low extracellular pH causes its effect on protein transport by changing intracellular pH. 相似文献

Human lysosomal N-acetyl-alpha-neuraminidase is deficient in two lysosomal storage disorders, sialidosis, caused by structural mutations in the neuraminidase gene, and galactosialidosis, in which a primary defect of protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA) leads to a combined deficiency of neuraminidase and beta-D-galactosidase. These three glycoproteins can be isolated in a high molecular weight multi-enzyme complex, and the enzymatic activity of neuraminidase is contingent on its interaction with PPCA. To explain the unusual need of neuraminidase for an auxiliary protein, we examined, in transfected COS-1 cells, the effect of PPCA expression on post-translational modification, turnover and intracellular localization of neuraminidase. In pulse-chase studies, we show that the enzyme is synthesized as a 46 kDa glycoprotein, which is poorly phosphorylated, does not undergo major proteolytic processing and is secreted. Importantly, its half-life is not altered by the presence of PPCA. However, neuraminidase associates with the PPCA precursor shortly after synthesis, since the latter protein co-precipitates with neuraminidase using anti-neuraminidase antibodies. We further demonstrate by subcellular fractionation of transfected cells that neuraminidase segregates to mature lysosomes only when accompanied by wild-type PPCA, but not by transport-impaired PPCA mutants. These data suggest a novel role for PPCA in the activation of lysosomal neuraminidase, that of an intracellular transport protein. 相似文献

Constraints on the transport and glycosylation of recombinant IFN-gamma in Chinese hamster ovary and insect cells. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In this study we compare intracellular transport and processing of a recombinant glycoprotein in mammalian and insect cells. Detailed analysis of the N-glycosylation of recombinant human IFN-gamma by matrix-assisted laser-desorption mass spectrometry showed that the protein secreted by Chinese hamster ovary and baculovirus-infected insect Sf9 cells was associated with complex sialylated or truncated tri-mannosyl core glycans, respectively. However, the intracellular proteins were predominantly associated with high-mannose type oligosaccharides (Man-6 to Man-9) in both cases, indicating that endoplasmic reticulum to cis-Golgi transport is a predominant rate-limiting step in both expression systems. In CHO cells, although there was a minor intracellular subpopulation of sialylated IFN-gamma glycoforms identical to the secreted product (therefore associated with late-Golgi compartments or secretory vesicles), no other intermediates were evident. Therefore, anterograde transport processes in the Golgi stack do not limit secretion. In Sf9 insect cells, there was no direct evidence of post-ER glycan-processing events other than core fucosylation and de-mannosylation, both of which were glycosylation site-specific. To investigate the influence of nucleotide-sugar availability on cell-specific glycosylation, the cellular content of nucleotide-sugar substrates in both mammalian and insect cells was quantitatively determined by anion-exchange HPLC. In both host cell types, UDP-hexose and UDP-N-acetylhexosamine were in greater abundance relative to other substrates. However, unlike CHO cells, sialyltransferase activity and CMP-NeuAc substrate were not present in uninfected or baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells. Similar data were obtained for other insect cell hosts, Sf21 and Ea4. We conclude that although the limitations on intracellular transport and secretion of recombinant proteins in mammalian and insect cells are similar, N-glycan processing in Sf insect cells is limited, and that genetic modification of N-glycan processing in these insect cell lines will be constrained by substrate availability to terminal galactosylation. 相似文献

The univalent-cation ionophores monensin (4.0 microM) and nigericin (0.5 microM) inhibited the abnormal excretion of beta-hexosaminidase from mucolipidosis-II cultured fibroblasts by 62 and 76% respectively, with a corresponding intracellular accumulation of the enzyme. As shown by lectin binding, the enzyme which accumulated in monensin-treated cells did not contain galactose residues, whereas the corresponding enzyme from nigericin-treated cells was galactosylated. The results suggest that monensin acts at an early point in the process of hydrolase glycosylation, and nigericin acts later, both presumably within the Golgi region, allowing the accumulation of different glycosylated forms of the enzyme. The intra- and extra-cellular distribution of beta-hexosaminidase in ionophore-treated normal cells was essentially unchanged, whereas concanavalin A precipitability of excreted enzyme was increased and its ability to be taken up by deficient fibroblasts was decreased. The bivalent-cation ionophore A23187 (1 microM) reduced beta-hexosaminidase excretion from mucolipidosis-II cells by 82% and by 96% when used with EGTA (1 mM). However, there was no intracellular accumulation of enzyme, suggesting that the effect of this ionophore was restricted to the inhibition of synthesis. It therefore appears that the actual transport of beta-hexosaminidase in mucolipidosis-II cells is affected by univalent-cation ionophores in a selective manner. These findings suggest that individual ionophores could be used to identify the sites of hydrolase oligosaccharide processing in the Golgi region by causing intermediate glycosylated forms of the transported hydrolase to accumulate in a specific Golgi compartment preceding the blocking site of the ionophore. 相似文献

We investigated the intracellular block in the transport of hemagglutinin (HA) and the role of HA in virus particle formation by using temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants (ts134 and ts61S) of influenza virus A/WSN/33. We found that at the nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degrees C), the exit of ts HA from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex was blocked and that no additional block was apparent in either the exit from the Golgi complex or post-Golgi complex transport. When MDBK cells were infected with these mutant viruses, they produced noninfectious virus particles at 39.5 degrees C. The efficiency of particle formation at 39.5 degrees C was essentially the same for both wild-type (wt) and ts virus-infected cells. When compared with the wt virus produced at either 33 or 39.5 degrees C or the ts virus formed at 33 degrees C, these noninfectious virus particles were lighter in density and lacked spikes on the envelope. However, they contained the full complement of genomic RNA as well as all of the structural polypeptides of influenza virus with the exception of HA. In these spikeless particles, HA could not be detected at the limit of 0.2% of the HA present in wt virions. In contrast, neuraminidase appeared to be present in a twofold excess over the amount present in ts virus formed at 33 degrees C. These observations suggest that the presence of HA is not an obligatory requirement for the assembly and budding of influenza virus particles from infected cells. The implications of these results and the possible role of other viral proteins in influenza virus morphogenesis are discussed. 相似文献

Phospholipid vesicles loaded with Quin-2 and 2'',7''-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) have been used to investigate the effects of pH conditions on Ca2+ transport catalyzed by ionophores A23187, 4-BrA23187, and ionomycin. At an external pH of 7.0, a delta pH (inside basic) of 0.4-0.6 U decreases the rate of Ca2+ transport into the vesicles by severalfold under some conditions. The apparent extent of transport is also decreased. In contrast, raising the pH by 0.4-0.6 U in the absence of a delta pH increases both of these parameters, although by smaller factors. The relatively large effects of a delta pH on the transport properties of Ca2+ ionophores seem to reflect a partial equilibration of the transmembrane ionophore distribution with the H+ concentration gradient across the vesicle membrane. This unequal distribution of ionophore can cause a very slow or incomplete ionophore-dependent equilibration of delta pCa with delta pH. A second factor of less certain origin retards full equilibration of delta pCa when delta pH = 0. These findings call into question several ionophore-based methods that are used to investigate the regulatory activities of Ca2+ and other divalent cations in biological systems. Notable among these are the null-point titration method for determining the concentration of free cations within cells and the use of ionophores plus external cation buffers to calibrate intracellular cation indicators. The present findings also indicate that the transport mode of Ca2+ ionophores is more strictly electroneutral than was thought, based upon previous studies. 相似文献

Infection of cells with picornaviruses can lead to a block in protein secretion. For poliovirus this is achieved by the 3A protein, and the consequent reduction in secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and surface expression of major histocompatibility complex class I proteins may inhibit host immune responses in vivo. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), another picornavirus, can cause persistent infection of ruminants, suggesting it too may inhibit immune responses. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi apparatus transport of proteins is blocked by the FMDV 2BC protein. The observation that 2BC is processed to 2B and 2C during infection and that individual 2B and 2C proteins are unable to block secretion stimulated us to study the effects of 2BC processing on the secretory pathway. Even though 2BC was processed rapidly to 2B and 2C, protein transport to the plasma membrane was still blocked in FMDV-infected cells. The block could be reconstituted by coexpression of 2B and 2C, showing that processing of 2BC did not compromise the ability of FMDV to slow secretion. Under these conditions, 2C was located to the Golgi apparatus, and the block in transport also occurred in the Golgi apparatus. Interestingly, the block in transport could be redirected to the ER when 2B was coexpressed with a 2C protein fused to an ER retention element. Thus, for FMDV a block in secretion is dependent on both 2B and 2C, with the latter determining the site of the block. 相似文献

Vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPases) are multisubunit enzymes that acidify various intracellular organelles, including secretory pathway compartments. We have examined the effects of the specific V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1 (Baf) on the intracellular transport, sorting, processing and release of a number of neuroendocrine secretory proteins in primary Xenopus intermediate pituitary cells. Ultrastructural examination of Baf-treated intermediate pituitary cells revealed a reduction in the amount of small dense-core secretory granules and the appearance of vacuolar structures in the trans-Golgi area. Pulse-chase incubations in combination with immunoprecipitation analysis showed that in treated cells, the proteolytic processing of the newly synthesized prohormone proopiomelanocortin, prohormone convertase PC2 and secretogranin III (SgIII) was inhibited, and an intracellular accumulation of intact precursor forms and intermediate cleavage products became apparent. Moreover, we found that treated cells secreted considerable amounts of a PC2 processing intermediate and unprocessed SgIII in a constitutive fashion. Collectively, these data indicate that in the secretory pathway, V-ATPases play an important role in creating the microenvironment that is essential for proper transport, sorting, processing and release of regulated secretory proteins. 相似文献

Perturbation of cellular calcium blocks exit of secretory proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
In the cultured human hepatoma HepG2, Ca2+ ionophores block secretion of different secretary proteins to different extents, alpha 1-antitrypsin secretion being more sensitive to A23187 and ionomycin than is alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, and albumin secretion the least of the three proteins studied. As judged by subcellular fractionation experiments and by treatment of pulse chase labeled protein with endoglycosidase H, A23187 and ionomycin cause newly made secretory proteins to remain within the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Experiments in which A23187 is added at different times during a pulse or chase show that secretion of newly made alpha 1-antitrypsin becomes resistant to the ionophore, on average, 15 min after synthesis; this is about 20 min before it reaches the trans-Golgi, and while it is still within the rough ER. We speculate that a high concentration of Ca2+ within the ER may be essential for certain secretory proteins to fold properly, that folding is inhibited when ER Ca2+ levels are lowered by ionophore treatment, and that unfolded proteins, particularly alpha 1-antitrypsin, cannot exit the rough ER. Treatment of murine 3T3 fibroblasts or human hepatoma HepG2 cells with the Ca2+ ionophores A23187 or ionomycin also induces a severalfold accumulation of the ER lumenal protein Bip (Grp78). These findings disagree with a recent report that Ca2+ ionophores cause secretion of Bip and other resident ER proteins, but is consistent with other reports that A23187 causes accumulation of mRNAs for Bip and other ER lumenal proteins. 相似文献

Phosphorylation and inactivation of yeast fructose-bisphosphatase in vivo by glucose and by proton ionophores. A possible role for cAMP 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Addition of glucose to yeast cells causes a phosphorylation and an inactivation of the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose-bisphosphatase [Mazón, M.J., Gancedo, J.M., and Gancedo, C. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 1128-1130]. We report here that the addition of the proton ionophores 2,4-dinitrophenol and carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone to yeast cells produces the same effect as that of glucose. Both glucose and ionophores produced: (a) phosphorylation and inactivation of fructose-bisphosphatase, (b) an immediate rise in the intracellular concentration of cAMP, (c) an instant inhibition of the transport of amino acids driven by the membrane potential. It is proposed that the effect of glucose on fructose-bisphosphatase involves as a first step the depolarization of the plasma membrane resulting in an increase of the intracellular concentration of cAMP. This in turn would stimulate phosphorylation of fructose-bisphosphatase. 相似文献

Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a major soluble mediator of inflammation. Two human IL-1 genes, alpha and beta, have been isolated, which encode polypeptides with only 20-30% amino acid sequence homology. Unlike most secreted proteins, the two cytokines do not have a signal sequence, an unexpected finding in view of their biological role. Here we show that IL-1 beta is actively secreted by activated human monocytes via a pathway of secretion different from the classical endoplasmic reticulum--Golgi route. Drugs which block the intracellular transport of IL-6, of tumour necrosis factor alpha and of other secretory proteins do not inhibit secretion of IL-1 beta. Secretion of IL-1 beta is blocked by methylamine, low temperature or serum free medium, and is increased by raising the culture temperature to 42 degrees C or by the presence of calcium ionophores, brefeldin A, monensin, dinitrophenol or carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone. IL-1 beta is contained in part within intracellular vesicles which protect it from protease digestion. In U937 cells large amounts of IL-1 beta are made but none is secreted. In these cells IL-1 beta is not found in the vesicular fraction, and all the protein is accessible to protease digestion. This suggests that intracellular vesicles that contain IL-1 beta are part of the protein secretory pathway. We conclude that IL-1 beta is released by activated monocytes via a novel mechanism of secretion which may involve translocation of intracellular membranes and is increased by stress conditions. 相似文献

Human lysosomal protective protein has cathepsin A-like activity distinct from its protective function 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The protective protein was first discovered because of its deficiency in the metabolic storage disorder galactosialidosis. It associates with lysosomal beta-galactosidase and neuraminidase, toward which it exerts a protective function necessary for their stability and activity. Human and mouse protective proteins are homologous to yeast and plant serine carboxypeptidases. Here, we provide evidence that this protein has enzymatic activity similar to that of lysosomal cathepsin A: 1) overexpression of human and mouse protective proteins in COS-1 cells induces a 3-4-fold increase of cathepsin A-like activity; 2) this activity is reduced to approximately 1% in three galactosialidosis patients with different clinical phenotypes; 3) monospecific antibodies raised against human protective protein precipitate virtually all cathepsin A-like activity in normal human fibroblast extracts. Mutagenesis of the serine and histidine active site residues abolishes the enzymatic activity of the respective mutant protective proteins. These mutants, however, behave as the wild-type protein with regard to intracellular routing, processing, and secretion. In contrast, modification of the very conserved Cys60 residue interferes with the correct folding of the precursor polypeptide and, hence, its intracellular transport and processing. The secreted active site mutant precursors, endocytosed by galactosialidosis fibroblasts, restore beta-galactosidase and neuraminidase activities as effectively as wild-type protective protein. These findings indicate that the catalytic activity and protective function of the protective protein are distinct. 相似文献

Mechanically perforated MDCK cells were used to study membrane transport between the trans-Golgi network and the apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains in vitro. Three membrane transport markers--an apical protein (fowl plague virus haemagglutinin), a basolateral protein (vesicular stomatitis virus G protein), and a lipid marker destined for both domains (C6-NBD-sphingomyelin)--were each accumulated in the trans-Golgi by a 20 degrees C block of transport and their behaviour monitored following cell perforation and incubation at 37 degrees C. In the presence of ATP and in the absence of calcium ions a considerable fraction of the transport markers were released from the perforated cells in sealed membrane vesicles. Control experiments showed that the vesicles were not generated by non-specific vesiculation of the Golgi complex or the plasma membrane. The vesicles had well defined sedimentation properties and the orientation expected of transport vesicles derived from the trans-Golgi network. 相似文献

Methods were developed for the purification of the surface, membrane-bound glycoproteins haemagglutinin and neuraminidase of influenza virus strain 3QB, in antigenically active forms. The methods employed in the purification included selective removal of the neuraminidase with the proteinase, bromelain, and subsequent disruption of the residual virus particle with the detergent Sarkosyl to release the haemagglutinin. Using techniques for proteolytic digestion of intact, native proteins an antigenically active peptide was isolated from the purified haemagglutinin, the surface glycoprotein against which the major antigenic response is directed. The amino acid composition of this peptide was determined. This was a 16-residue peptide with amino-terminal isoleucine and composition Ile1 Val1 Asx2 Thr1 Ser2 Glx2 Pro1 Gly3 Ala1 Leu1 Lys1. 相似文献

Melanin biosynthesis is completely inhibited in the B16 melanoma cells following their incubation with inhibitors of the two ER glucosidases. This is primarily due to the inactivation of tyrosinase. Under the same conditions, the DOPA-oxidase activity of TRP-1 was only partially affected. In this report we investigate the effects of the perturbation of N-glycan processing in ER on the transport and activation of tyrosinase and TRP-1. We have localized the DOPA-oxidase activity in normal and inhibited cells and suggest that the first DOPA-reactive compartment of the secretory pathway (trans Golgi network) is also the site of tyrosinase activation. The inhibition of N-glycan processing does not affect the intracellular trafficking of the two melanogenic enzymes that are correctly transported to melanosomes. Immunoprecipitation experiments followed by analysis in SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions suggest that in inhibited cells, both tyrosinase and TRP-1 are synthesized in a modified conformation as compared to the normal proteins. These data suggest that the inhibition of melanin synthesis is not due to a defective transport but rather to conformational changes induced in the structure of tyrosinase and TRP-1 during their transit through the ER. 相似文献

Maturation and secretion of lipoprotein lipase in cultured adipose cells. I. Intracellular activation of the enzyme 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The intracellular pathway and the activation of lipoprotein lipase have been examined in differentiated Ob17 cells. These adipose cells were previously shown to secrete lipoprotein lipase during exposure to heparin. Treatment of the cells with cycloheximide and heparin leads to enzyme depletion, as shown by activity measurement and immunofluorescence microscopy. The repletion phase has been studied in the presence of monensin or carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, ionophores known to affect the intracellular transport of membrane and secretory proteins. Monensin-treated cells synthesize fully active lipoprotein lipase. Under these conditions the antigen accumulates in the Golgi apparatus and the heparin-stimulated enzyme release is extensively reduced. Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone-treated cells do not contain any enzyme activity but show detectable antigen which accumulates in the endoplasmic reticulum. Competition for binding to immobilized anti-lipoprotein lipase antibodies of mature and endoplasmic reticulum-sequestered antigens is observed. Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone removal is rapidly followed by a transient burst of enzyme activity and a redistribution of the antigen in the different subcellular compartments. Therefore, the results show that the activation of lipoprotein lipase is an intracellular event taking place after the enzyme exits from the endoplasmic reticulum and before it reaches the trans-Golgi cisternae. 相似文献

Various methods of manipulation of the intracellular pH in Streptococcus lactis result in a unique relationship between the rate of glutamate and glutamine transport and the cytoplasmic pH. The initial rate of glutamate uptake by S. lactis cells increases more than 30-fold when the intracellular pH is raised from 6.0 to 7.4. A further increase of the cytoplasmic pH to 8.0 was without effect on transport. The different levels of inhibition of glutamate and glutamine transport at various external pH values by uncouplers and ionophores, which dissipate the proton motive force, can be explained by the effects exerted on the intracellular pH. The dependence of glutamate transport on the accumulation of potassium ions in potassium-filled and -depleted cells is caused by the regulation of intracellular pH by potassium movement. 相似文献

The intracellular processing of the murine leukemia virus envelope glycoprotein precursor Pr85 to the mature products gp70 and p15e was analyzed in the mouse T-lymphoma cell line W7MG1. Kinetic (pulse-chase) analysis of synthesis and processing, coupled with endoglycosidase (endo H) and neuraminidase digestions revealed the existence of a novel high molecular weight processing intermediate, gp95, containing endo H-resistant terminally glycosylated oligosaccharide chains. In contrast to previously published conclusions, our data indicate that proteolytic cleavage of the envelope precursor occurs after the acquisition of endo H-resistant chains and terminal glycosylation and thus after the mannosidase II step. In the same W7MG1 cell line, the type and order of murine leukemia virus envelope protein processing events was identical to that for the mouse mammary tumor virus envelope protein. Interestingly, complete mouse mammary tumor virus envelope protein processing requires the addition of glucocorticoid hormone, whereas murine leukemia virus envelope protein processing occurs constitutively in these W7MG1 cells. We propose that all retroviral envelope proteins share a common processing pathway in which proteolytic processing is a late event that follows acquisition of endo H resistance and terminal glycosylation. 相似文献

In lysosomes beta-galactosidase and neuraminidase acquire a stable and active conformation through their association with the protective protein. The latter is homologous to serine carboxypeptidases and has cathepsin A-like activity which is distinct from its protective function towards the two glycosidases. To define signals in the human protective protein important for its intracellular transport, and to determine the site of its association with beta-galactosidase, we have generated a set of mutated protective protein cDNAs carrying targeted base substitutions. These mutants were either singly transfected into COS-1 cells or cotransfected together with wild type human beta-galactosidase. We show that all point mutations cause either a complete or partial retention of the protective protein precursor in the endoplasmic reticulum. This abnormal accumulation leads to degradation of the mutant proteins probably in this compartment. Only the oligosaccharide chain on the 32-kDa subunit acquires the mannose 6-phosphate recognition marker, the one on the 20-kDa subunit seems to be merely essential for the stability of the mature protein. In cotransfection experiments, wild type beta-galactosidase and protective protein appear to assemble already as precursors, soon after synthesis, in the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutated protective protein precursors that are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum or pre-Golgi complex interact with and withhold normal beta-galactosidase molecules in the same compartments, thereby preventing their normal routing. 相似文献
