Abstract To examine how binding of BiP (a molecular chaperone of the hsp70 family that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum) influences the conformational maturation of thyroglobulin (Tg, the precursor for thyroid hormone synthesis), we have developed a system of recombinant Tg stably expressed in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and CHO-B cells genetically manipulated for selectively increased BiP expression. The elevation of immunoreactive BiP in CHO-B cells is comparable to that seen during the unfolded protein response in the thyrocytes of certain human patients and animals suffering from congenital hypothyroid goiter with defective Tg. However, in CHO-B cells, we expressed Tg containing no mutations that induce misfolding (i.e. no unfolded protein response), so that levels of all other endoplasmic reticulum chaperones were normal. Increased availability of BiP did not accelerate Tg secretion; rather, the export of newly synthesized Tg was delayed. Tg detained intracellularly was concentrated in the endoplasmic reticulum. By coimmunoprecipitation, BiP exhibited enhanced binding to Tg in CHO-B cells. Moreover, two-dimensional gel analysis showed that BiP associated especially well with intracellular Tg containing mispaired disulfide bonds, thought to represent early Tg folding intermediates. An endoplasmic reticulum chaperone of the hsp90 family, GRP94, was also associated in Tg-chaperone complexes. The results suggest that increased binding of BiP to Tg leads to its delayed conformational maturation in the endoplasmic reticulum.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a multifunctional organelle responsible for production of both lumenal and membrane components of secretory pathway compartments. Secretory proteins are folded, processed, and sorted in the ER lumen and lipid synthesis occurs on the ER membrane itself. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, synthesis of ER components is highly regulated: the ER-resident proteins by the unfolded protein response and membrane lipid synthesis by the inositol response. We demonstrate that these two responses are intimately linked, forming different branches of the same pathway. Furthermore, we present evidence indicating that this coordinate regulation plays a role in ER biogenesis.

Members of the eukaryotic heat shock protein 70 family (Hsp70s) are regulated by protein cofactors that contain domains homologous to bacterial DnaJ. Of the three DnaJ homologues in the yeast rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER; Scj1p, Sec63p, and Jem1p), Scj1p is most closely related to DnaJ, hence it is a probable cofactor for Kar2p, the major Hsp70 in the yeast RER. However, the physiological role of Scj1p has remained obscure due to the lack of an obvious defect in Kar2p-mediated pathways in scj1 null mutants. Here, we show that the Δscj1 mutant is hypersensitive to tunicamycin or mutations that reduce N-linked glycosylation of proteins. Although maturation of glycosylated carboxypeptidase Y occurs with wild-type kinetics in Δscj1 cells, the transport rate for an unglycosylated mutant carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) is markedly reduced. Loss of Scj1p induces the unfolded protein response pathway, and results in a cell wall defect when combined with an oligosaccharyltransferase mutation. The combined loss of both Scj1p and Jem1p exaggerates the sensitivity to hypoglycosylation stress, leads to further induction of the unfolded protein response pathway, and drastically delays maturation of an unglycosylated reporter protein in the RER. We propose that the major role for Scj1p is to cooperate with Kar2p to mediate maturation of proteins in the RER lumen.
