GRP78 is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and associates with improperly folded or underglycosylated proteins. The role of GRP78 in secretion was studied in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing a tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) variant which lacks potential N-linked glycosylation site sequences because of mutagenesis. The expression of variant tPA resulted in elevated levels of GRP78 and its stable association with tPA. The introduction of antisense GRP78 genes resulted in a two- to threefold reduction in GRP78 levels compared with those of the original cells. Cells with reduced levels of GRP78 secreted two- to threefold-higher levels of tPA activity. tPA expressed in these cells displayed reduced association with GRP78, and a greater proportion was processed to the mature form and secreted. These results demonstrate that reduction of GRP78 level can improve the secretion of an associated protein.

Diphthamide, a unique amino acid, is a post-translational derivative of histidine that exists in protein synthesis elongation factor 2 at the site of diphtheria toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of elongation factor 2. We investigated steps in the biosynthesis of diphthamide with mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells that were altered in different steps of this complex post-translational modification. Biochemical evidence indicates that this modification requires a minimum of three steps, two of which we accomplished in vitro. We identified a methyltransferase activity that transfers methyl groups from S-adenosyl methionine to an unmethylated form of diphthine (the deamidated form of diphthamide), and we tentatively identified an ATP-dependent synthetase activity involved in the biosynthesis of diphthamide from diphthine. Our results are in accord with the proposed structure of diphthamide (B. G. VanNess, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 255:10710-10716, 1980).
