The post-translational modifications of the G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus, described in the preceding paper, indicate that its transport is arrested by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) in or near the trans-Golgi. Immunofluorescence microscopy of BHK-21 cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus and treated with CCCP shows an accumulation of G protein in the Golgi area. In the same cells, the morphology of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-staining structures in the perinuclear region is aberrant. Using anti-BiP antibody, there is no obvious change in the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum. Electron microscopy reveals that the aberrant structures in the perinuclear region result from dilation of Golgi cisternae and accumulation of large vacuoles near the Golgi stack. The appearance of these aberrant structures is dose-dependent and they disappear after the protonophore is removed. The vast majority of the vacuoles accumulate on the trans side of the Golgi stack. A small fraction of them contain the marker enzyme thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase). By immunoelectron microscopy, most of the vacuoles contain G protein. We conclude that most of the Golgi-associated vacuoles are derived from a distal Golgi transport compartment, possibly the trans-Golgi reticulum, and that CCCP reversibly inhibits the transport of newly synthesized G protein through this distal compartment.

Intracellular transport of the glycoprotein of VSV is inhibited by CCCP at a late stage of post-translational processing

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.

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.

To Receive

The transfer of the vesicular stomatitis virus-encoded glycoprotein (G protein) between Golgi populations in fused cells (Rothman, J. E., L. J. Urbani, and R. Brands. 1984. J. Cell Biol. 99:248-259) is exploited here to study and to help define the compartmental organization of the Golgi stack and to characterize the mechanism of intercompartmental transport. We find that G protein that has just received its peripheral N-acetylglucosamine in the Golgi complex of one cell is efficiently transferred to the Golgi complex of another cell to receive galactose (Gal). Remarkably, this transport occurs at the same rate between these two compartments whether they are present in the same or different Golgi populations. Therefore, a dissociative (presumably vesicular) transport step moves G protein from one part of the Golgi in which N-acetylglucosamine is added to another in which Gal is added. Minutes later, upon receiving Gal, the same G protein molecules are very poorly transferred to an exogenous Golgi population after cell fusion. Therefore, once this intercompartmental transfer has already taken place (before fusion), it cannot take place again (after fusion); i.e., transport across the compartment boundary in the Golgi complex that separates the sites of N-acetylglucosamine and Gal incorporation is a vectorial process. We conclude that transfers between Golgi cisternae occur by a stochastic process in which transport vesicles budding from cisternae dissociate, can diffuse away, and then attach to and fuse with the appropriate target cisterna residing in the same or in a different stack, based on a biochemical pairing after a random encounter. Under these circumstances, a transported protein would almost always randomize among stacks with each intercisternal transfer; it would not progress systematically through a single stack. Altogether, our studies define three sequential compartments in the Golgi stack.

Vesicular Stomatitis

The intracellular location at which the G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus accumulated when transport was blocked at 20 degrees C has been studied by biochemical, cytochemical, and immunocytochemical methods. Our results indicated that the viral G protein was blocked in that cisterna of the Golgi stack which stained for acid phosphatase. At 20 degrees C this trans cisterna became structurally altered by the accumulation of G protein. This alteration was characterized by extensive areas of membrane buds which were covered by a cytoplasmic coat. These coated structures were of two kinds--those that labeled with anti-clathrin antibodies and those that did not. The clathrin-coated pits consistently did not label with anti-G antibodies. Upon warming infected cells to 32 degrees C, G protein appeared on the surface within minutes. Concomitantly, the trans cisterna lost its characteristic structural organization. Double-labeling experiments were performed in which G protein localization was combined with staining for horseradish peroxidase, which had been taken up from the extracellular medium by endocytosis. The results suggest that the trans cisterna was distinct from the endosome compartment and that the latter was not an obligatory station in the route taken by G protein to the cell surface.

Parallel experiments in living cells and in vitro were undertaken to characterize the mechanism by which misfolded and unassembled glycoproteins are retained in the ER. A thermoreversible folding mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein called ts045 was analyzed. At 39 degrees C, newly synthesized G failed to fold correctly according to several criteria: intrachain disulfide bonds were incomplete; the B2 epitope was absent; and the protein was associated with immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP), a heat shock-related, ER protein. When the temperature was lowered to 32 degrees C, these properties were reversed, and the protein was transported to the cell surface. Upon the shift up from 32 degrees C back to 39 degrees C, G protein in the ER returned to the misfolded form and was retained, while the protein that had reached a pre-Golgi compartment or beyond was thermostable and remained transport competent. The misfolding reaction could be reconstituted in a cell free system using ts045 virus particles and protein extracts from microsomes. Taken together, the results showed that ER is unique among the organelles of the secretory pathway in containing specific factors capable of misfolding G protein at the nonpermissive temperature and thus participating in its retention.
