The specific phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid (OA) induced fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus in interphase HeLa cells. Immunoelectron microscopy for galactosyltransferase identified a major Golgi fragment composed of a cluster of vesicles and tubules that was morphologically indistinguishable from the ‘Golgi cluster’ previously described in mitotic cells. The presence of homogeneous immunofluorescence staining for galactosyltransferase in OA-treated cells also suggested that isolated Golgi vesicles, previously found in mitotic cells, existed along with the clusters. After removal of OA, both clusters and vesicles appeared to participate in a reassembly pathway that strongly resembled that occurring during telophase. OA also induced inhibition of intracellular transport, another feature of mitotic cells. OA treatment prevented newly synthesised G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) from acquiring resistance to endoglycosidase H and from arriving at the cell surface. In addition, fluid phase endocytosis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was reduced to less than 10% of control values. All these effects were dose-dependent and reversible. OA should be a useful tool to study the Golgi division and membrane traffic.

Newly synthesized G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus is not transported to the surface of cultured mammalian cells during mitosis (Warren et al., 1983, J. Cell Biol. 97:1623-1628). To determine where intracellular transport is inhibited, we have examined the post-translational modifications of G protein, which are indicators of specific compartments on the transport pathway. G protein in mitotic cells had only endo H-sensitive oligosaccharides containing seven or eight mannose residues, but no terminal glucose, and was not fatty acylated. These modifications were indicative of processing only by enzymes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Quantitative immunocytochemistry was used as an independent method to confirm that transport of G protein out of the ER was inhibited. The density of G protein in the ER cisternae was 2.5 times greater than in infected G1 cells treated similarly. Incubation of infected mitotic cells with cycloheximide, which inhibits protein synthesis without affecting transport, did not result in a decrease in the density of G protein in the ER cisternae, demonstrating that G protein cannot be chased out of the ER. These results suggest that intracellular transport stops at or before the first vesicle-mediated step on the pathway.

The intracellular migration of G protein in vesicular stomatitis virus-infected cells was visualized by light and electron microscope radioautography after a 2-min pulse with [3H]mannose followed by nonradioactive chase for various intervals. The radioactivity initially (at 5-10 min) appeared predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum, and the [3H]mannose-labeled G protein produced was sensitive to endoglycosidase H. Silver grains were subsequently (at 30-40 min) observed over the Golgi apparatus, and the [3H]mannose-labeled G protein became resistant to endoglycosidase H digestion. Our data directly demonstrate the intracellular transport of a plasmalemma-destined transmembrane glycoprotein through the Golgi apparatus.

ABSTRACT The phosphoprotein (P) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a subunit of the viral RNA polymerase. In previous studies, we demonstrated that insertion of 19 amino acids in the hinge region of the protein had no significant effect on P protein function. In the present study, we inserted full-length enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) in frame into the hinge region of P and show that the fusion protein (PeGFP) is functional in viral genome transcription and replication, albeit with reduced activity. A recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encoding PeGFP in place of the P protein (VSV-PeGFP), which possessed reduced growth kinetics compared to the wild-type VSV, was recovered. Using the recombinant VSV-PeGFP, we show that the viral replication proteins and the de novo-synthesized RNA colocalize to sites throughout the cytoplasm, indicating that replication and transcription are not confined to any particular region of the cytoplasm. Real-time imaging of the cells infected with the eGFP-tagged virus revealed that, following synthesis, the nucleocapsids are transported toward the cell periphery via a microtubule (MT)-mediated process, and the nucleocapsids were seen to be closely associated with mitochondria. Treatment of cells with nocodazole or Colcemid, drugs known to inhibit MT polymerization, resulted in accumulation of the nucleocapsids around the nucleus and also led to inhibition of infectious-virus production. These findings are compatible with a model in which the progeny viral nucleocapsids are transported toward the cell periphery by MT and the transport may be facilitated by mitochondria.

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.

Vesicular Stomatitis

Human hepatoma cells, infected by vesicular stomatitis virus, offer a good system to study simultaneously the intracellular localization of a well defined transmembrane glycoprotein (VSV-G), a secretory glycoprotein (transferrin), and a nonglycosylated secretory protein (albumin). We used monospecific antibodies in combination with 5- and 8-nm colloidal gold particles complexed with protein A to immunolabel these proteins simultaneously in thin frozen sections of hepatoma cells. VSV-G, transferrin, and albumin are present in the same rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae, the same Golgi compartments, and the same secretory vesicles. In the presence of the ionophore monensin intracellular transport is blocked at the trans cisternae of the Golgi complex, and VSV-G, transferrin, and albumin accumulate in dilated cisternae, which are apparently derived from the trans-Golgi elements. Glycoproteins, synthesized and secreted in the presence of monensin, are less acidic than those in control cultures. This is probably caused by a less efficient contact between the soluble secretory proteins and the membrane-bound glycosyltransferases that are present in the most monensin-affected (trans) Golgi cisternae.

Peroxidase Uptake

In the liver, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is thought to be taken up via mannose receptor-mediated endocytosis by non-parenchymal cells (NPC) and via fluid-phase endocytosis by hepatocytes. When we attempted to inhibit NPC uptake of HRP with mannan in the whole perfused rat liver, > 80% of HRP uptake was eliminated. Liver cell fractionation revealed that mannan not only inhibited HRP uptake by NPC (91%) but also by hepatocytes (81%). In isolated hepatocytes, HRP uptake was linear over 60 min and saturable in the range of 0 to 200 mg/l (Vmax = 4.3 ng.mg protein-1.min-1; Km = 8.3 mg/l). Mannan inhibited uptake competitively (Ki = 2.0-2.5 mg/l). At high concentrations of HRP, a nonsaturable component of HRP uptake became evident (k = 2.8 pg.mg protein-1.min-1.mg HRP-1.l-1). Hepatocyte uptake of HRP was inhibited by other glycoproteins and glycopeptides with mannose-terminal groups, as well as by mannan, but not by asialofetuin (ASF) or bovine serum albumin. Hepatocyte uptake of 125I-labeled ASF, which is taken up via the asialoglycoprotein receptor, was saturable and not inhibited by mannan. HRP binding to hepatocytes, determined at 4 degrees C, was also inhibited by mannan. Quantification of contamination of the parenchymal cell fraction by NPC by cell counting and by pronase digestibility suggested our results could not be explained by contamination of hepatocytes by NPC. At concentrations used for most morphological studies (1,000-10,000 mg/l), fluid-phase endocytosis accounts for much of HRP uptake. However, at low concentrations, a saturable low-capacity mechanism is responsible for most HRP uptake by the hepatocyte.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The Individual

We investigated the role of glycosylation in intracellular transport and cell surface expression of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (G) in cells expressing G protein from cloned cDNA. The individual contributions of the two asparagine-linked glycans of G protein to cell surface expression were assessed by site-directed mutagenesis of the coding sequence to eliminate one or the other or both of the glycosylation sites. One oligosaccharide at either position was sufficient for cell surface expression of G protein in transfected cells, and the rates of oligosaccharide processing were similar to the rate observed for wild-type protein. However, the nonglycosylated G protein synthesized when both glycosylation sites were eliminated did not reach the cell surface. This protein did appear to reach a Golgi-like region, as determined by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, however, and was modified with palmitic acid. It was also apparently not subject to increased proteolytic breakdown.

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as an exogenous marker to study the effects of microtubule-disruptive drugs on endocytosis in cultures of thioglycollate-elicited rat peritoneal macrophages. Colchicine and vinblastine, but not lumicolchicine or cytochalasin B, reduced HRP uptake by about 30–40%. However, as determined by stereological measurements, the size of the HRP-containing compartment within the cells remained unaltered. In both control cells and cells treated with colchicine or vinblastine the HRP-reactive vesicles were preferentially located close to the dictyosomes (stacks of cisternae) despite the fact that the Golgi complex was disorganized in the treated cells. These results suggest that intact cytoplasmic complex was disorganized in the treated cells. These results suggest that intact cytoplasmic microtubules are required to maintain a normal rate of fluid phase endocytosis in macrophages. On the other hand, it seems as if microtubules are not necessary for the translocation of newly formed endocytic vesicles/lysosomes to the dictyosomes, from which they probably are supplied with digestive enzymes.

The spread of viruses among cells and hosts often involves multi-virion structures. For instance, virions can form aggregates that allow for the co-delivery of multiple genome copies to the same cell from a single infectious unit. Previously, we showed that vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), an enveloped, negative-strand RNA virus, undergoes strong aggregation in the presence of saliva from certain individuals. However, the molecular components responsible for such aggregation remain unknown. Here we show that saliva-driven aggregation is protein dependent, and we use comparative proteomics to analyze the protein content of strongly versus poorly aggregating saliva. Quantitative analysis of over 300 proteins led to the identification of 18 upregulated proteins in strongly aggregating saliva. One of these proteins, the fibrinogen gamma chain, was verified experimentally as a factor promoting VSV aggregation in a dose-dependent manner. This study hence identifies a protein responsible for saliva-driven VSV aggregation. Yet, the possible involvement of additional proteins or factors cannot be discarded.
