Translocation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine into vesicles derived from rat liver rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A mixture of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine labeled with different radioisotopes in the uridine and glucosamine was used to show that the intact sugar nucleotide was translocated across the membrane of vesicles derived from rat liver rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and Golgi apparatus. Translocation was dependent on temperature, saturable at high concentrations of sugar nucleotide, and inhibited by treatment of vesicles with proteases, suggesting protein carrier mediated transport. Translocation of UDP-GlcNAc by RER-derived vesicles appeared to be specific since these vesicles were unable to translocate UDP-galactose, in contrast to those derived from the Golgi apparatus. Preliminary results suggest that the mechanism of UDP-GlcNAc translocation into RER-derived vesicles is via a coupled exchange with lumenal nucleoside monophosphate. This is similar to the recently postulated mechanism for translocation of sugar nucleotides into vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

The transport of sugar residues into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during glycoprotein synthesis was studied by examining the transmembrane orientations of the oligosaccharide-lipid precursors of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. Using the lectin concanavalin A, the lipid-linked oligosaccharides Man3-5GlcNAc2 were found on the cytoplasmic side of ER-derived vesicles in vitro while lipid-linked Man6-9GlcNAc2 and Glc1-3Man9GlcNAc2 were found facing the lumen. These results suggest that Man5GlcNAc2-lipid is synthesized on the cytoplasmic side of the ER membrane and then translocated to the luminal side. Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-lipid is then completed on the luminal side where it serves as the donor in peptide glycosylation. Translocation of Man5GlcNAc2-lipid offers a mechanism for the export of sugar residues from the cytoplasm during glycoprotein synthesis. This translocation may be the reason for the participation of lipid-linked mono- and oligosaccharides in glycoprotein synthesis. 相似文献

The G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is transported from its site of synthesis in the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane via the Golgi apparatus. Pulse-chase experiments suggest that G is transported to the cell surface in two successive waves of clathrin-coated vesicles. The oligosaccharides of G protein carried in the early wave are of the "high-mannose" (G1) form, whereas the oligosaccharides in the second, later wave are of the mature "complex" (G2) form. the early wave is therefore proposed to correspond to transport of G in coated vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus, and the succeeding wave to transport from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. The G1- and G2-containing coated vesicles appear to be structurally distinct, as judged by their differential precipitation by anticoated vesicle serum. 相似文献

Summary A fast and easy procedure is proposed for preparing concomitantly from the same sample of intestinal mucosa of A+ rabbits, four fractions high enriched in the brush-border and basolateral plasma membrane domains, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum plus Golgi apparatus membranes, respectively. This is the first time the technique of flow fluorometry has been applied to characterize the brush-border and basolateral membrane fractions using polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies against antigens common to or specific for these two plasma membrane domains. This technique definitely proves the presence of aminopeptidase in at least 60% of the basolateral membrane vesicles, where its level is about 4.5% of that in the brush-border membrane vesicles. The endoglycosidase H-sensitive intermediate of glycosylation of aminopeptidase N in the steady state is accumulated in both the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Although the rough membrane is more extensive it contains only about 40% of this transient form. 相似文献

The main reaction of N-glycosylation of proteins is the transfer 'en bloc' of the oligosaccharide moieties of lipid intermediates to an asparagine residue of the nascent protein. For the past 15 years, a few laboratories including ours have shown that the process was accompanied by the release of oligosaccharide-phosphates and of neutral oligosaccharides possessing one GlcNAc (OS-Gn(1)) or two GlcNAc (OS-Gn(2)) at the reducing end. The aim of this review is to gather the evidence for the different origins of these soluble oligomannosides, to examine their subcellular location and intracellular trafficking. Furthermore, using Brefeldin A we demonstrated that this released oligomannoside material could be the substrate for the Golgi glycosidases and glycosyltransferases. Indeed, released oligomannoside never reach the Golgi vesicles either because they are directly produced in the cytosol as has been demonstrated for oligosaccharide-phosphates and for neutral oligosaccharides possessing one GlcNAc at the reducing end or because they are actively transported out of the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol. One of the functions of oligomannoside trafficking between rough endoplasmic reticulum, cytosol and lysosomes could be to prevent these oligosaccharides for competing with glycosylation in the Golgi. 相似文献

An intrinsic membrane glycoprotein of the golgi apparatus with O-linked N-acetylglucosamine facing the cytosol 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have recently described the occurrence of integral membrane glycoproteins in rat liver smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum with O-N-acetylglucosamine facing the cytosolic and luminal sides of the membrane (Abeijon, C., and Hirschberg, C. B. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 1010-1014). We now report that integral membrane glycoproteins with cytosolic facing O-N-acetylglucosamine also occur in membranes of rat liver Golgi apparatus. This was determined following incubation of vesicles from the Golgi apparatus, which were sealed and of the same membrane topographical orientation as in vivo, with UDP-[14C]galactose and saturating amounts of bovine milk galactosyltransferase. This enzyme does not enter the lumen of the vesicles and specifically catalyzes the addition of galactose, in a beta 1-4 linkage, to terminal N-acetylglucosamine. Under these conditions, galactose was transferred to a glycoprotein of molecular mass of 92 kDa. This protein was insoluble in sodium carbonate, pH 11.5, conditions under which integral membrane proteins remain membrane bound and was insensitive to treatment with peptide:N-glycosidase F. beta Elimination and chromatography showed that radiolabeled galactose was part of a disaccharide which was characterized as Gal beta 1-4GlcNAcitol. This glycoprotein is specific of the Golgi apparatus membrane. Intrinsic membrane glycoproteins with this unusual carbohydrate membrane orientation thus occur in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus of rat liver. 相似文献

Summary The silver methenamine method for the ultrastructural localization of carbohydrates and glycoproteins was applied to the thyroid glands of normal and TSH-treated mice. The majority of the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum showed a weak, but apparently positive reaction. These findings support the opinion that glycosylation of thyroglobulin occurs initially in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. By this method the Golgi apparatus was observed to display a staining gradient. The intermediate to inner saccules were intensely stained, whereas the outer saccules were not so heavily stained. This phenomenon indicates that the Golgi apparatus has a functional polarity for the addition of carbohydrates to thyroglobulin and other proteins. In the inner and/or the peripheral regions of the Golgi apparatus and in the apical cytoplasm, a large number of globules of various sizes, considered to be colloid droplets, lysosomes and apical secreting vesicles, showed a positive reaction. The luminal colloid was also positive with silver methenamine staining, with almost the same intensity as the globules and vesicles.This study was supported by a grant from the Japan Ministry of Education 相似文献

Based on subcellular fractionation data, the following maturation pathways were proposed for the Newcastle disease virus glycoproteins. During or shortly after synthesis in rough endoplasmic reticulum, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F0) glycoproteins underwent dolichol pyrophosphate-mediated glycosylation, and HN assumed a partially trypsin-resistant conformation. HN began to associate into disulfide-linked dimers in rough endoplasmic reticulum, and at least one of its oligosaccharide side chains was processed to a complex form en route to the cell surface. During migration in intracellular membranes, F0 was proteolytically cleaved to F1.2. Neither HN nor F1,2 required oligosaccharide side chains for migration to plasma membranes, and cleavage of F0 also occurred without glycosylation. Virion- and plasma membrane-associated HN contained both complex and high-mannose oligosaccharide chains on the same molecule, and F1,2 contained at least high-mannose forms. Several of the properties of HN were notable for a viral glycoprotein. The oligosaccharide side chains of HN were modified very slowly in chick cells, whereas those of the G glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus were rapidly processed to a complex form. Therefore, their different rates of migration and carbohydrate processing were intrinsic properties of these glycoproteins. Consistent with its slow maturation, the HN glycopolypeptide accumulated to high levels in intracellular membranes as well as in plasma membranes. Intracellular HN contained immature oligosaccharide side chains, suggesting that it accumulated in the pre-Golgi/Golgi segment of the maturation pathway. The major site of accumulation of mature HN with neuraminidase activity was the plasma membrane. 相似文献

From the time of their synthesis in the rough endoplasmic reticulum until they are secreted, packaged in lysosomes, or appear as membrane components at the cell surface, the polypeptide chains of N- and O-linked glycoproteins remain associated with intracellular membranes that are components of the secretory pathway. The various co-translational and post-translational modifications of the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins have been shown to occur within morphologically and functionally distinct regions of this complex membrane system. However, the sugar nucleotides, which serve as precursors to the oligosaccharide moieties of these glycoproteins, are synthesized almost exclusively in the cytoplasm. These findings raise a number of questions about the mechanisms involved in the transmembrane assembly of membrane and secretory glycoproteins. In this paper these questions are reviewed and recent studies directed towards providing answers to them are summarized. In addition, information related to the possible role of dolichyl phosphate in regulating the glycosylation of proteins is presented. 相似文献

Replication of coronavirus MHV-A59 in sac- cells: determination of the first site of budding of progeny virions 总被引:37,自引:0,他引:37
During infection of sac- cells by murine coronavirus MHV A59 the intracellular sites at which progeny virions bud correlate with the distribution of the viral glycoprotein E1. Budding is first detectable by electron microscopy at 6 to 7 hours post infection in small, smooth, perinuclear vesicles and tubules in a region transitional between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. At later times the rough endoplasmic reticulum becomes the major site of budding and accumulation of progeny virus particles. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy shows that E1 is confined at 6 hours post infection to the perinuclear region while at later times it also accumulates in the endoplasmic reticulum. At 6 hours post infection the second viral glycoprotein, E2, is distributed throughout the endoplasmic reticulum and is not restricted to the site at which budding begins. Core protein, the third protein in virions, can be detected 2 hours before E1 is detectable and budding begins, and at 6 hours post infection it is distributed throughout the cytosol. We conclude that the time and the site at which the maturation of progeny virions occurs is determined by the accumulation of glycoprotein E1 in intracellular membranes. Only rarely do progeny virions bud directly into the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus but at least some already budded virions are transported to the Golgi apparatus where they occur in structures some of which also contain TPPase, a trans Golgi marker. 相似文献

There is evidence that a carboxyl-terminal valine residue is an anterograde transport signal for type I transmembrane proteins. Removal of the signal would either delay glycosylation in the Golgi complex of proteins destined to recycle to the endoplasmic reticulum or determine accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum of newly synthesized proteins destined for the plasma membrane. We used the human CD8 alpha glycoprotein to investigate the role of the carboxyl-terminal valine in the exocytic pathway. Using immunofluorescence light microscopy, metabolic labeling, and cell fractionation, we demonstrate that removal of the carboxyl-terminal valine residue delays transport of CD8 alpha from the endoplasmic reticulum to the intermediate compartment. Removal of the residue did not affect the other steps of the exocytic pathway or the folding/dimerization and glycosylation processes. Therefore, it is likely that this signal plays a role in the transport of CD8 alpha from the endoplasmic reticulum to the intermediate compartment either before or during the formation of the transport vesicles that drive the exit the protein from the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of cartilage proteoglycan was examined in a model system of cultured chondrocytes from a transplantable rat chondrosarcoma. Extensive modification with the addition of chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan, N-linkcd oligosac-charide, and O-linked oliogosaccharide is required to convert a newly synthesized core protein precursor into a proteoglycan. Kinetic analyses revealed the presence of a large pool of core protein precursor (t1/2 ~ 90 min) awaiting completion into proteoglycan. The large t1/2 of this pool allowed kinetic labeling experiments with a variety of radioactive precursors to distinguish between early biosynthetic events associated primarily with the rough endoplasmic reticulum from late events associated primarily with the Golgi apparatus. The results of a series of experiments indicated that the addition of N-linked oligosaccharide chains occurs early in the biosynthetic process in association with the rough endoplasmic reticulum, whereas the initiation and completion of O-linked oligosaccharides occurs much later, at about the same time as chondroitin sulfate synthesis. This also indicated that keratan sulfate chains, when present in the completed molecule, are added in the Golgi apparatus, as they are probably built on oligosaccharide primers closely related to the O-oligosaccharide chains. Furthermore, when 3H-glucose was used as the precursor, the entry of label into xylose, the linkage sugar between the core protein and the chondroitin sulfate chain, was found to occur within 5 min of the entry of label into galactose and galactosamine in the remainder of the chondroitin sulfate chain. This indicated that the initiation and completion of the chondroitin sulfate chain occurs late in the pathway probably entirely in the Golgi apparatus. Thus, proteoglycan synthesis can be described as occurring in two stages in this system, translation and N-glycosylation of a core protein precursor which has a long half-life in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by extensive rapid modification in the Golgi complex in which the majority of glycosaminoglycan and oligosaccharide chains are added to the core protein precursor with subsequent rapid secretion into the extracellular matrix. 相似文献

An immunoelectron microscopic study was undertaken to survey the intracellular pathway taken by the integral membrane protein (G-protein) of vesicular stomatitis virus from its site of synthesis in the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane of virus-infected Chinese hamster ovary cells. Intracellular transport of the G-protein was synchronized by using a temperature-sensitive mutant of the virus (0-45). At the nonpermissive temperature (39.8 degrees C), the G-protein is synthesized in the cell infected with 0-45, but does not leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Upon shifting the temperature to 32 degrees C, the G-protein moves by stages to the plasma membrane. Ultrathin frozen sections of 0-45-infected cells were prepared and indirectly immunolabeled for the G-protein at different times after the temperature shift. By 3 min, the G-protein was seen at high density in saccules at one face of the Golgi apparatus. No large accumulation of G-protein-containing vesicles were observed near this entry face, but a few 50-70-mm electron-dense vesicular structures labeled for G-protein were observed that might be transfer vesicles between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. At blebbed sites on the nuclear envelope at these early times there was a suggestion that the G-protein was concentrated, these sites perhaps serving as some of the transitional elements for subsequent transfer of the G-protein from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. By 3 min after its initial asymmetric entry into the Golgi complex, the G-protein was uniformly distributed throughout all the saccules of the complex. At later times, after the G-protein left the Golgi complex and was on its way to the plasma membrane, a new class of G-protein-containing vesicles of approximately 200-nm diameter was observed that are probably involved in this stage of the transport process. These data are discussed, and the further prospects of this experimental approach are assessed. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Enzyme induction of HeLa cell placental alkaline phosphatase with various agents such as prednisolone, sodium butyrate, hyperosmolality (NaCl), or combination of these inducers resulted in the appearance of enzyme activity in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear envelope, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane. In the Golgi apparatus, intense reaction product deposits tended to be concentrated on its trans side, with small vesicles and granules also being positively stained. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide was followed by the disappearance of enzyme activity from these cytoplasmic organelles but not from the plasma membrane. Treatment with monensin, a secretory protein transport inhibitor, uniformly increased activity in the rough endoplasmic reticulum while causing marked dilatation of the intensely positive Golgi cisternae. These results suggest that intracellular alkaline phosphatase is newly synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and then passes en route through the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. Accordingly, the present system could represent the biosynthesis, transport, and incorporation of the model cell surface enzyme protein to add to the vesicular stomatitus virus glyco-1 (VSV-G) protein and acetylcholine receptor model systems for studying the dynamics of cell surface protein genesis, transport, and membrane integration. 相似文献

The O-linked oligosaccharides of mucin-type glycoproteins contain N- acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) that is not found in N-linked glycoproteins. Because Helix pomatia lectin interacts with terminal GalNAc, we used this lectin, bound to particles of colloidal gold, to localize such sugar residues in subcellular compartments of intestinal goblet cells. When thin sections of low temperature Lowicryl K4M embedded duodenum or colon were incubated with Helix pomatia lectin- gold complexes, no labeling could be detected over the cisternal space of the nuclear envelope and the rough endoplasmic reticulum. A uniform labeling was observed over the first and several subsequent cis Golgi cisternae and over the last (duodenal goblet cells) or the two last (colonic goblet cells) trans Golgi cisternae as well as forming and mature mucin droplets. However, essentially no labeling was detected over several cisternae in the central (medial) region of the Golgi apparatus. The results strongly suggest that core O-glycosylation takes place in cis Golgi cisternae but not in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The heterogenous labeling for GalNAc residues in the Golgi apparatus is taken as evidence that termination of certain O- oligosaccharide chains by GalNAc occurs in trans Golgi cisternae. 相似文献

Preparations enriched in part-smooth (lacking ribosomes), part-rough (with ribosomes) transitional elements of the endoplasmic reticulum when incubated with ATP plus a cytosol fraction responded by the formation of blebbing profiles and approximately 60-nm vesicles. The 60-nm vesicles formed resembled closely transition vesicles in situ considered to function in the transfer of membrane materials between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. The transition elements following incubation with ATP and cytosol were resolved by preparative free-flow electrophoresis into fractions of differing electronegativity. The main fraction contained the larger vesicles of the transitional membrane elements, while a less electronegative minor shoulder fraction was enriched in the 60-nm vesicles. If the vesicles concentrated by preparative free-flow electrophoresis were from material previously radiolabeled with [3H]leucine and then added to Golgi apparatus immobilized to nitrocellulose, radioactivity was transferred to the Golgi apparatus membranes. The transfer was rapid (T1/2 of about 5 min), efficient (10-30% of the total radioactivity of the transition vesicle preparations was transferred to Golgi apparatus), and independent of added ATP but facilitated by cytosol. Transfer was specific and apparently unidirectional in that Golgi apparatus membranes were ineffective as donor membranes and endoplasmic reticulum vesicles were ineffective as recipient membranes. Using a heterologous system with transition vesicles from rat liver and Golgi apparatus isolated from guinea pig liver, coalescence of the small endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicles with Golgi apparatus membranes was demonstrated using immunocytochemistry. Employed were polyclonal antibodies directed against the isolated rat transition vesicle preparations. When localized by immunogold procedures at the electron microscope level, regions of rat-derived vesicles were found fused with cisternae of guinea pig Golgi apparatus immobilized to nitrocellulose strips. Membrane transfer was demonstrated from experiments where transition vesicle membrane proteins were radioiodinated by the Bolton-Hunter procedure. Additionally, radiolabeled peptide bands not present initially in endoplasmic reticulum appeared following coalescence of the derived vesicles with Golgi apparatus. These bands, indicative of processing, required that both Golgi apparatus and transition vesicles be present and did not occur in incubated endoplasmic reticulum preparations or on nitrocellulose strips to which no Golgi apparatus were added.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Nucleotide sugar transporters of the Golgi apparatus play an essential role in the glycosylation of proteins, lipids, and proteoglycans. Down-regulation of expression of the transporters for CMP-sialic acid, GDP-fucose, or both unexpectedly resulted in accumulation of glycoconjugates in the Golgi apparatus rather than in the plasma membrane. Pulse-chase experiments with radiolabeled sugars and amino acids showed decreased synthesis and secretion of both nonglycoproteins and glycoproteins. Further studies revealed that the above silencing induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and inhibited protein translation initiation. Together these results suggest that global inhibition of Golgi apparatus glycosylation may lead to important secondary metabolic changes, unrelated to glycosylation. 相似文献

The distribution, synthesis transport, and glycosylation of rat-liver DT-diaphorase has been investigated. The enzyme could be isolated using specific antibodies, mainly from the soluble supernatant but also from microsomal vesicles, Golgi membrane, and mitochondria. 40% of the microsomal enzyme was located in the lumen or on the interior side of the membrane, the rest remaining as an integral non-extractable part of the membrane. Synthesis of DT-diaphorase takes place on both free and bound ribosomes, although it was found to be transported in a sequential manner from the rough to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and also subsequently to the mitochondria. The rough and smooth microsomal DT-diaphorase contains covalently bound carbohydrate, but no sugar moiety could be detected bound to the cytoplasmic form of the enzyme. 相似文献

A hen oviduct membrane preparation that catalyzes both the N- and O-glycosylation of exogenous acceptor peptides was used to examine the possible involvement of lipid intermediates in enzymatic O-glycosylation. The results indicate that, under a variety of experimental conditions in which the dolichol-linked saccharides involved in N-glycosylation are readily observed, no lipid-linked intermediates for O-glycosylation could be detected. Whereas N-glycosylation is abolished by tunicamycin treatment and stimulated by dolichol phosphate addition, O-glycosylation is unaffected by such treatments. Further, the results of subcellular fractionation of oviduct membranes suggest that N-acetylgalactosaminyl:polypeptide transferase is localized primarily in membranes derived from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. This is in contrast to the subcellular site of N-glycosylation, which has previously been shown to be primarily the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These findings are discussed in relation to the function of dolichol phosphate in protein glycosylation. 相似文献
