Golgi Protein

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae EMP47 gene encodes a nonessential type-I transmembrane protein with sequence homology to a class of intracellular lectins defined by ERGIC-53 and VIP36. The 12-amino acid COOH-terminal cytoplasmic tail of Emp47p ends in the sequence KTKLL, which conforms with the consensus for di-lysine-based ER-localization signals. Despite the presence of this motif, Emp47p was shown to be a Golgi protein at steady-state. The di-lysine motif of Emp47p was functional when transplanted onto Ste2p, a plasma membrane protein, conferring ER localization. Nevertheless, the di-lysine motif was required for Golgi-localization of Emp47p and showed the same charge-independent, position-dependent characteristics of other di-lysine motifs. Alpha-COP has been shown to be required for ER localization of di-lysine-tagged proteins. Consistent with this finding, the Ste2p-Emp47p hybrid protein was mislocalized to the cell surface in the alpha-COP mutant, ret1-1. Surprisingly, the Golgi-localization of Emp47p was unaffected by the ret1-1 mutation. To investigate whether Emp47p undergoes retrograde transport from the Golgi to the ER like other di-lysine-tagged proteins we developed an assay to measure this step after block of forward transport in a sec12 mutant. Under these conditions retrograde transport led to a specific redistribution of Emp47p from the Golgi to the ER. This recycling occurred from a Golgi subcompartment containing alpha 1,3 mannose-modified oligosaccharides suggesting that it originated from a medial-or later Golgi compartment. Thus Emp47p cycles between the Golgi apparatus and the ER and requires a di-lysine motif for its alpha-COP-independent, steady state localization in the Golgi.

Chimeric Molecules

Despite the potential importance of retrieval-based targeting, few Golgi cisternae-localized proteins have been demonstrated to be targeted by retrieval, and the putative retrieval signals remain unknown. Golgi phosphoprotein of 130 kDa (GPP130) is acis-Golgi protein that allows assay of retrieval-based targeting because it redistributes to endosomes upon treatment with agents that disrupt lumenal pH, and it undergoes endosome-to-Golgi retrieval upon drug removal. Analysis of chimeric molecules containing domains from GPP130 and the plasma membrane protein dipeptidylpeptidase IV indicated that GPP130 targeting information is contained entirely within its lumenal domain. Dissection of the lumenal domain indicated that a predicted coiled-coil stem domain adjacent to the transmembrane domain was both required and sufficient for pH-sensitive Golgi localization and endosome-to-Golgi retrieval. Further dissection of this stem domain revealed two noncontiguous stretches that each conferred Golgi localization separated by a stretch that conferred endosomal targeting. Importantly, in the absence of the endosomal determinant the Golgi targeting of constructs containing either or both of the Golgi determinants became insensitive to pH disruption by monensin. Because monensin blocks endosome-to-Golgi transport, the finding that the endosomal determinant confers monensin sensitivity suggests that the endosomal determinant causes GPP130 to traffic to endosomes from which it is normally retrieved. Thus, our observations identify Golgi and endosomal targeting determinants within a lumenal predicted coiled-coil domain that appear to act coordinately to mediate retrieval-based targeting of GPP130.

Retrograde Traffic

A large number of trafficking steps occur between the last compartment of the Golgi apparatus (TGN) and the vacuole of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To date, two intracellular routes from the TGN to the vacuole have been identified. Carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) travels through a prevacuolar/endosomal compartment (PVC), and subsequently on to the vacuole, while alkaline phosphatase (ALP) bypasses this compartment to reach the same organelle. Proteins resident to the TGN achieve their localization despite a continuous flux of traffic by continually being retrieved from the distal PVC by virtue of an aromatic amino acid–containing sorting motif. In this study we report that a hybrid protein based on ALP and containing this retrieval motif reaches the PVC not by following the CPY sorting pathway, but instead by signal-dependent retrograde transport from the vacuole, an organelle previously thought of as a terminal compartment. In addition, we show that a mutation in VAC7, a gene previously identified as being required for vacuolar inheritance, blocks this trafficking step. Finally we show that Vti1p, a v-SNARE required for the delivery of both CPY and ALP to the vacuole, uses retrograde transport out of the vacuole as part of its normal cellular itinerary.

Golgi Compartment

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells lacking the Rer1 protein (Rer1p), the type II transmembrane protein Sec12p fails to be retained in the ER. The transmembrane domain of Sec12p is sufficient to confer Rer1p-dependent ER retention to other membrane proteins. In rer1 mutants a large part of the Sec12-derived proteins can escape to the late Golgi. In contrast, rer3 mutants accumulate Sec12-derived hybrid proteins carrying early Golgi modifications. We found that rer3 mutants harbour unique alleles of the alpha-COP-encoding RET1 gene. ret1 mutants, along with other coatomer mutants, fail to retrieve KKXX-tagged type I transmembrane proteins from the Golgi back to the ER. Surprisingly rer3-11(=ret1-12) mutants do not affect this kind of ER recycling. Pulse-chase experiments using these mutants show that alpha-COP and Rer1p function together in a very early Golgi compartment to initiate the recycling of Sec12p-derived hybrid proteins. Rer1p protein may be directly involved in the retrieval process since it also recycles between the early Golgi and ER in a coatomer (COPI)-dependent manner. Rer1p may act as an adapter coupling the recycling of non-KKXX transmembrane proteins like Sec12p to the coatomer (COPI)-mediated backward traffic.

Vesicle-specific SNAP receptors (v-SNAREs) are believed to cycle between consecutive membrane compartments. The v-SNARE Sec22(Sly2)p mediates the targeting of vesicles between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and early Golgi of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To analyze factors involved in targeting of Sec22(Sly2)p, an alpha-factor-tagged Sec22 protein (Sec22-alpha) was employed. Only on reaching the late Golgi, can alpha-factor be cleaved from this hybrid protein by Kex2p, a protease localized in this compartment. In wild-type cells Kex2p-cleavage is observed only when Sec22-alpha is greatly overproduced. Immunofluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation studies showed that Sec22-alpha is returned to the ER from the late Golgi (Kex2p) compartment. When Sec22-alpha is expressed in wild-type cells at levels comparable to the quantities of endogenous Sec22p, very little of this protein is cleaved by Kex2p. Efficient cleavage, however, occurs in mutants defective in the retrograde transport of different ER-resident proteins indicating that Sec22-alpha rapidly reaches the late Golgi of these cells. These mutants (sec20-1, sec21-1, sec27-1 and ufe1-1) reveal Golgi structures when stained for Sec22-alpha and do not show the ER-immunofluorescence observed in wild-type cells. These results show consistently that Sec22p recycles from the Golgi back to the ER and that this recycling involves retrograde COPI vesicles.

Emp47p is a yeast Golgi transmembrane protein with a retrograde, Golgi to ER transport di-lysine signal in its cytoplasmic tail. Emp47p has previously been shown to recycle between the Golgi complex and the ER and to require its di-lysine signal for Golgi localization. In contrast to other proteins with di-lysine signals, the Golgi-localization of Emp47p has been shown to be preserved in ret1-1 cells expressing a mutant alpha-COP subunit of coatomer. Here we demonstrate by sucrose gradient fractionation and immunofluorescence analysis that recycling of Emp47p was unimpaired in ret1-1. Furthermore we have characterized three new alleles of ret1 and showed that Golgi localization of Emp47p was intact in cells with those mutant alleles. We could correlate the ongoing recycling of Emp47p in ret1-1 with preserved in vitro binding of coatomer from ret1-1 cells to immobilized GST-Emp47p-tail fusion protein. As previously reported, the di-lysine signal of Wbp1p was not recognized by ret1-1 mutant coatomer, suggesting a possible role for alpha-COP in the differential binding to distinct di-lysine signals. In contrast to results with alpha-COP mutants, we found that Emp47p was mislocalised to the vacuole in mutants affecting beta'-, gamma-, delta-, and zeta-COP subunits of coatomer and that the mutant coatomer bound neither to the Emp47p nor to the Wbp1p di-lysine signal in vitro. Therefore, the retrograde transport of Emp47p displayed a differential requirement for individual coatomer subunits and a special role of alpha-COP for a particular transport step in vivo.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Wbp1 protein is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER), type I transmembrane protein which contains a cytoplasmic dilysine (KKXX) motif. This motif has previously been shown to direct Golgi-to-ER retrieval of type I membrane proteins in mammalian cells (Jackson, M. R., T. Nilsson, and P. A. Peterson. 1993. J. Cell Biol. 121: 317-333). To analyze the role of this motif in yeast, we constructed a SUC2-WBP1 chimera consisting of the coding sequence for the normally secreted glycoprotein invertase fused to the coding sequence of the COOH terminus (including the transmembrane domain and 16-amino acid cytoplasmic tail) of Wbplp. Carbohydrate analysis of the invertase-Wbp1 fusion protein using mannose linkage-specific antiserum demonstrated that the fusion protein was efficiently modified by the early Golgi initial alpha 1,6 mannosyltransferase (Och1p). Subcellular fractionation revealed that > 90% of the alpha 1,6 mannose-modified fusion protein colocalized with the ER (Wbp1p) and not with the Golgi Och1p-containing compartment or other membrane fractions. Amino acid changes within the dily sine motif (KK-->QK, KQ, or QQ) did not change the kinetics of initial alpha 1,6 mannose modification of the fusion protein but did dramatically increase the rate of modification by more distal Golgi (elongating alpha 1,6 and alpha 1,3) mannosyltransferases. These mutant fusion proteins were then delivered directly from a late Golgi compartment to the vacuole, where they were proteolytically cleaved in a PEP4-dependent manner. While amino acids surrounding the dilysine motif played only a minor role in retention ability, mutations that altered the position of the lysines relative to the COOH terminus of the fusion protein also yielded a dramatic defect in ER retention. Collectively, our results indicate that the KKXX motif does not simply retain proteins in the ER but rather directs their rapid retrieval from a novel, Och1p-containing early Golgi compartment. Similar to observations in mammalian cells, it is the presence of two lysine residues at the appropriate COOH-terminal position which represents the most important features of this sorting determinant.

Vacuolar Protein

The mechanism by which soluble proteins, such as carboxypeptidase Y, reach the vacuole in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is very similar to the mechanism of lysosomal protein sorting in mammalian cells. Vps10p is a receptor for transport of soluble vacuolar proteins in S. cerevisiae. vps10 +, a gene encoding a homologue of S. cerevisiae PEP1/VPS10, has been identified and deleted from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Deletion of the vps10 + gene resulted in missorting and secretion of Sch. pombe vacuolar carboxypeptidase Cpy1p, indicating that it is required for targeting Cpy1p to the vacuole. Sch. pombe Vps10p (SpVps10p) is a type I transmembrane protein and its C-terminal cytoplasmic tail domain is essential for Cpy1p transport to the vacuole. Cells expressing green fluorescent protein-tagged SpVps10p produced a punctate pattern of fluorescence, indicating that SpVps10p was largely localized in the Golgi compartment. In addition, Sch. pombe vps26 +, vps29 + and vps35 +, encoding homologues of the S. cerevisiae retromer components VPS26, VPS29 and VPS35, were identified and deleted. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that SpVps10p mislocalized to the vacuolar membrane in these mutants. These results indicate that the vps26 +, vps29 + and vps35 + gene products are required for retrograde transport of SpVps10p from the prevacuolar compartment back to the Golgi in Sch. pombe cells.

Gp80, a cell-adhesion molecule in Dictyostelium discoideum, is modified by N- and O-linked oligosaccharides, and a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. To identify sequences important for the addition of these modifications to gp80, we created a hybrid protein in which the C-terminal 136 amino acids of yeast invertase were replaced by the C-terminal 110 amino acids of gp80. When expressed in D. discoideum, this protein (Inv-gp80) was not GPI-anchored and was retained in a pre-Golgi compartment. Inv-gp80 did, however, display characteristics of a transmembrane protein, suggesting a novel mechanism for its retention. We also expressed a truncated version of the hybrid protein in which the C-terminal 22 amino acids of the Inv-gp80 were deleted. The truncated protein (Inv-gp80stop) was O-glycosylated and secreted. These observations indicate that the hybrid protein is not abnormally folded and demonstrate the importance of the C-terminal 22 amino acids in the retention of Inv-gp80. Together, the data suggest that oligomerization of the protein blocks its GPI anchoring.

Within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mannoses and glucoses, donated from dolichol-phosphate-mannose and -glucose, are transferred to N-glycan and GPI-anchor precursors, and serine/threonine residues in many proteins. Glycosyltransferases that mediate these reactions are ER-resident multitransmembrane proteins with common characteristics, forming a superfamily of >10 enzymes. Here, we report an essential component of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-mannosyltransferase I (GPI-MT-I), which transfers the first of the four mannoses in the GPI-anchor precursors. We isolated a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutant defective in GPI-MT-I but not its catalytic component PIG-M. The mutant gene, termed phosphatidylinositolglycan-class X (PIG-X), encoded a 252-amino acid ER-resident type I transmembrane protein with a large lumenal domain. PIG-X and PIG-M formed a complex, and PIG-M expression was <10% in the absence of PIG-X, indicating that PIG-X stabilizes PIG-M. We found that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pbn1p/YCL052Cp, which was previously reported to be involved in autoprocessing of proproteinase B, is the functional homologue of PIG-X; Pbn1p is critical for Gpi14p/YJR013Wp function, the yeast homologue of PIG-M. This is the first report of an essential subcomponent of glycosyltransferases using dolichol-phosphate-monosaccharide.

Vesicle specific SNAP receptors (v-SNAREs) Bos1p and Bet1p are involved in targeting of anterograde vesicles between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and early Golgi of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To analyze factors that influence the targeting of these proteins, alpha-factor tagged versions of Bos1p and Bet1p were employed. The alpha-factor can be cleaved off by the Kex2p protease as soon as the hybrid proteins reach the late Golgi compartment. The data obtained by monitoring of Kex2p cleavage, by immunofluorescence microscopy and cell fractionation showed that Bos1-alpha and Bet1-alpha have different cellular localization and dynamics. Bos1-alpha is an ER protein, which recycles between the Golgi and the ER in COPI-dependent manner. Bet1-alpha is an early Golgi protein and it does not change its localization under conditions when other recycling Golgi proteins can be trapped in the ER.
