ABSTRACT Sec20p is an essential endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein in yeasts, functioning as a tSNARE component in retrograde vesicle traffic. We show that Sec20p in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans is extensively O mannosylated by protein mannosyltransferases (Pmt proteins). Surprisingly, Sec20p occurs at wild-type levels in a pmt6 mutant but at very low levels in pmt1 and pmt4 mutants and also after replacement of specific Ser/Thr residues in the lumenal domain of Sec20p. Pulse-chase experiments revealed rapid degradation of unmodified Sec20p (38.6 kDa) following its biosynthesis, while the stable O-glycosylated form (50 kDa) was not formed in a pmt1 mutant. These results suggest a novel function of O mannosylation in eukaryotes, in that modification by specific Pmt proteins will prevent degradation of ER-resident membrane proteins via ER-associated degradation or a proteasome-independent pathway.

ABSTRACT Sec20p is a component of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae secretory pathway that does not have a close homolog in higher eukaryotic cells. To verify the function of Sec20p in other fungal species, we characterized the gene encoding a Sec20p homolog in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. The deduced protein has 27% identity with, but is missing about 100 N-terminal residues compared to S. cerevisiae Sec20p, which is part of the cytoplasmic tail interacting with the cytoplasmic protein Tip20p. Because a strain lacking both C. albicans SEC20alleles could not be constructed, we placed SEC20 under transcriptional control of two regulatable promoters, MET3pand PCK1p. Repression of SEC20 expression in these strains prevented (MET3p-SEC20 allele) or retarded (PCK1p-SEC20 allele) growth and led to the appearance of extensive intracellular membranes, which frequently formed stacks. Reduced SEC20 expression in the PCK1p-SEC20strain did not affect morphogenesis but led to a series of hypersensitivity phenotypes including supersensitivity to aminoglycoside antibiotics, to nystatin, to sodium dodecyl sulfate, and to cell wall inhibitors. These results demonstrate the occurrence and function of Sec20p in a fungal species other than S. cerevisiae, but the lack of the N-terminal domain and the apparent absence of a close TIP20 homolog in the C. albicans genome also indicate a considerable diversity in mechanisms of retrograde vesicle traffic in eukaryotes.
