Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin

Mutations have been introduced into the cloned DNA sequences coding for influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA), and the resulting mutant genes have been expressed in simian cells by the use of SV40-HA recombinant viral vectors. In this study we analyzed the effect of specific alterations in the cytoplasmic domain of the HA molecule on its rate of biosynthesis and transport, cellular localization, and biological activity. Several of the mutants displayed abnormalities in the pathway of transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. One mutant HA remained within the endoplasmic reticulum; others were delayed in reaching the Golgi apparatus after core glycosylation had been completed in the endoplasmic reticulum, but then progressed at a normal rate from the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface; another was delayed in transport from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. However, two mutants were indistinguishable from wild-type HA in their rate of movement from the endoplasmic reticulum through the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface. We conclude that changes in the cytoplasmic domain can powerfully influence the rate of intracellular transport and the efficiency with which HA reaches the cell surface. Nevertheless, absolute conservation of this region of the molecule is not required for maturation and efficient expression of a biologically active HA on the surface of infected cells.

The production, transport, and disposition of material labelled with [3H]mannose were studied in microsurgically enucleated and control amoebae. Cells were injected with the precursor and samples were prepared for electron-microscope radioautography at intervals, up to 24 h later. Control cells showed heavy labelling of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus at early intervals after injection. Later, labelling of groups of small vesicles increased, and the percentage of grains over the cell surface peaked 12 h after administration of the precursor. Two major changes were detected in enucleate amoebae. First, the kinetics of labelling of cell organelles with [3H]mannose were altered in the absence of the nucleus. The Golgi apparatus and cell surface both displayed maximal labelling at later intervals in enucleates, and the percentage of grains over the rough endoplasmic reticulum varied less with time in enucleated than in control cells. Second, the distribution of radioactivity was altered. A greater percentage of grains was associated with lysosomes in enucleates than in control cells. The change in the kinetics of labelling of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and cell surface indicates that intracellular transport of surface material was slower in the absence of the nucleus. It is suggested that this is related to the decreased motility of enucleate cells.

The envelope glycoproteins of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), gp85 and gp37, are anchored in the membrane by a 27-amino acid, hydrophobic domain that lies adjacent to a 22-amino acid, cytoplasmic domain at the carboxy terminus of gp37. We have altered these cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains by introducing deletion mutations into the molecularly cloned sequences of a proviral env gene. The effects of the mutations on the transport and subcellular localization of the Rous sarcoma virus glycoproteins were examined in monkey (CV-1) cells using an SV40 expression vector. We found, on the one hand, that replacement of the nonconserved region of the cytoplasmic domain with a longer, unrelated sequence of amino acids (mutant C1) did not alter the rate of transport to the Golgi apparatus nor the appearance of the glycoprotein on the cell surface. Larger deletions, extending into the conserved region of the cytoplasmic domain (mutant C2), resulted in a slower rate of transport to the Golgi apparatus, but did not prevent transport to the cell surface. On the other hand, removal of the entire cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains (mutant C3) did block transport and therefore did not result in secretion of the truncated protein. Our results demonstrate that the C3 polypeptide was not transported to the Golgi apparatus, although it apparently remained in a soluble, nonanchored form in the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum; therefore, it appears that this mutant protein lacks a functional sorting signal. Surprisingly, subcellular localization by internal immunofluorescence revealed that the C3 protein (unlike the wild type) did not accumulate on the nuclear membrane but rather in vesicles distributed throughout the cytoplasm. This observation suggests that the wild-type glycoproteins (and perhaps other membrane-bound or secreted proteins) are specifically transported to the nuclear membrane after their biosynthesis elsewhere in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Virus Mutant

Two classes of revertants were isolated from a vaccinia virus mutant whose hemagglutinins (HAs) accumulate on nuclear envelopes and rough endoplasmic reticulums. The HAs of one of the revertants had the same phenotype as the wild type, i.e., rapid and efficient movement to the cell surface. The HAs of the second class had biphasic transport: rapid export to the cell surface as in the wild type and slow movement to the medial cisternae of the Golgi apparatus. Biochemical and nucleotide sequence analyses showed that the HAs of all the mutants examined that have defects in transport from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus have altered cytoplasmic domains and that the HAs of the second class of revertants lack the whole cytoplasmic domain, while the HAs of the first class of revertants have a wild-type cytoplasmic domain.

We investigated the role of cytoplasmic and anchor domains of type II glycoproteins in intracellular transport, oligomerization, and endocytosis by expressing the wild-type and chimeric genes in mammalian cells. Chimeric genes were constructed by exchanging the DNA segments that encode the cytoplasmic and anchor domains between the human influenza virus (A/WSN/33) neuraminidase (NA) and transferrin receptor (TR). The chimeric proteins in which domains were exchanged precisely were productively targeted to the cell surface. However, the proteins appeared to assemble differently in the intracellular compartment. For example, while TR existed predominantly as a dimer, NATR delta 90, containing the cytoplasmic and signal-anchor domains of NA and the ectodomain of TR, was present as a tetramer, a dimer, and a monomer. Similarly, the influenza virus NA existed predominantly as a tetramer but TRNA delta 35, in which the cytoplasmic and signal-anchor domains of TR were joined to the ectodomain of NA, existed predominantly as a dimer, suggesting that the cytoplasmic and anchor domains of type II glycoproteins affect the subunit assembly of heterologous ectodomains. In addition, we analyzed the role of the cytoplasmic domain in endocytosis. NA and NATR delta 90 did not undergo endocytosis, whereas both TR and TRNA delta 35 were internalized efficiently, demonstrating that the NH2 cytoplasmic domain of TR was capable of internalizing a heterologous ectodomain (NA) from the cell surface.

Temperature-sensitive mutants of semliki forest virus (SFV) and sindbis virus (SIN) were used to study the intracellular transport of virus membrane glycoproteins in infected chicken embryo fibroblasts. When antisera against purified glycoproteins and (125)I- labeled protein A from staphylococcus aureus were used only small amounts of virus glycoproteins were detected at the surface of SFV ts-1 and SIN Ts-10 infected cells incubated at the restrictive temperature (39 degrees C). When the mutant-infected cells were shifted to the permissive temperature (28 degrees C), in the presence of cycloheximide, increasing amounts of virus glycoproteins appeared at the cell surface from 20 to 80 min after the shift. Both monensin (10muM) and carbonylcyanide-p- trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP; 10-20 muM) inhibited the appearance of virus membrane glycoproteins at the cell surface. Vinblastine sulfate (10 μg/ml) inhibited the transport by approximately 50 percent, whereas cytochalasin B (1 μg/ml) had only a marginal effect. Intracellular distribution of virus glycoproteins in the mutant-infected cells was visualized in double-fluorescence studies using lectins as markers for endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. At 39 degrees C, the virus membrane glycoproteins were located at the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas after shift to 28 degrees C, a bright juxtanuclear reticular fluorescence was seen in the location of the Golgi apparatus. In the presence of monensin, the virus glycoproteins could migrate to the Golgi apparatus, although transport to the cell surface did not take place. When the shift was carried out in the presence of FCCP, negligible fluorescence was seen in the Golgi apparatus and the glycoproteins apparently remained in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. A rapid inhibition in the accumulation of virus glycoproteins at the cell surface was obtained when FCCP was added during the active transport period, whereas with monensin there was a delay of approximately 10 min. These results suggest a similar intracellular pathway in the maturation of both plasma membrane and secretory glycoproteins.

Novel subcellular fractionation procedures and pulse-chase techniques were used to study the intracellular transport of the microvillar membrane hydrolases sucrase-isomaltase and dipeptidylpeptidase IV in the differentiated colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2. The overall rate of transport to the cell surface was two fold faster for dipeptidylpeptidase IV than for sucrase-isomaltase, while no significant differences were observed in transport rates from the site of complex glycosylation to the brush border. The delayed arrival of sucrase-isomaltase in the compartment where complex glycosylation occurs was only in part due to exit from the endoplasmic reticulum. A major slow-down could be ascribed to maturation in and transit of this enzyme through the Golgi apparatus. These results suggest that the observed asynchronism is due to more than one rate-limiting step along the rough endoplasmic reticulum to trans-Golgi pathway.

Vesicular Stomatitis

The appearance of newly synthesized glycoprotein (G) of vesicular stomatitis virus at the surface of infected BHK cells is inhibited reversibly by treatment with carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Under the conditions used, CCCP treatment depleted the cellular ATP levels by 40–60%, consistent with inhibition of transport at energy-requiring stages. The G protein that accumulates in cells treated with CCCP is heterogeneous. Most of it is larger than the newly synthesized G protein, is acylated with palmitic acid, and is resistant to endoglycosidase H (Endo H). Most of the arrested G protein is also sensitive to digestion with neuraminidase, indicating that it has undergone at least partial sialylation. A minority of G protein accumulates under these conditions in a less-mature form, suggesting its inability to reach the mid-Golgi compartment. The oligosaccharides of this G protein are Endo-H-sensitive and seem to be partly trimmed. Whereas sialylated G protein was arrested intracellularly, fucose-labelled G protein was able to complete its transport to the cell surface, indicating that a late CCCP-sensitive step separates sialylation from fucosylation. These post-translational modifications indicate that G protein can be transported as far as the trans-Golgi in the presence of CCCP and is not merely arrested in the endoplasmic reticulum.
