Abstract
The Golgi complex is the site where the terminal carbohydrate modification of proteins and lipids occurs. These carbohydrates play a variety of biological roles, ranging from the stabilization of glycoprotein structure to the provision of ligands for cell-cell interactions to the regulation of cell surface properties. Progress in our understanding of the biosynthesis and regulation of glycoconjugates has been accelerating at a rapid pace. Recent advances in the field of yeast glycobiology have been particularly impressive. This review focuses on glycosylation of proteins in the Golgi of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with emphasis on the candidate mannosyltransferases that participate in the synthesis of N-linked oligosaccharides. Current views on how these enzymes may be regulated and how glycosylation relates on other cellular processes are also discussed.

Abstract
A yeast mutant capable of producing Man5GlcNAc2 human compatible sugar chains on glycoproteins was constructed. An expression vector for alpha-1,2-mannosidase with the "HDEL" endoplasmic reticulum retention/retrieval tag was designed and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An in vitro alpha-1,2-mannosidase assay and Western blot analysis showed that it was successfully localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. A triple mutant yeast lacking three glycosyltransferase activities was then transformed with an alpha-1, 2-mannosidase expression vector. The oligosaccharide structures of carboxypeptidase Y as well as cell surface glycoproteins were analyzed, and the recombinant yeast was shown to produce a series of high mannose-type sugar chains including Man5GlcNAc2. This is the first report of a recombinant S. cerevisiae able to produce Man5GlcNAc2-oligosaccharides, the intermediate for hybrid-type and complex-type sugar chains.

Abstract
Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) contain localization signals necessary for targeting to their resident subcellular compartments. To define signals that mediate localization to the Golgi complex, we have analyzed a resident IMP of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Golgi complex, guanosine diphosphatase (GDPase). GDPase, which is necessary for Golgi-specific glycosylation reactions, is a type II IMP with a short amino-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a single transmembrane domain (TMD), and a large catalytic lumenal domain. Regions specifying Golgi localization were identified by analyzing recombinant proteins either lacking GDPase domains or containing corresponding domains from type II vacuolar IMPs. Neither deletion nor substitution of the GDPase cytoplasmic domain perturbed Golgi localization. Exchanging the GDPase TMD with vacuolar protein TMDs only marginally affected Golgi localization. Replacement of the lumenal domain resulted in mislocalization of the chimeric protein from the Golgi to the vacuole, but a similar substitution leaving 34 amino acids of the GDPase lumenal domain intact was properly localized. These results identify a major Golgi localization determinant in the membrane-adjacent lumenal region (stem) of GDPase. Although necessary, the stem domain is not sufficient to mediate localization; in addition, a membrane-anchoring domain and either the cytoplasmic or full-length lumenal domain must be present to maintain Golgi residence. The importance of lumenal domain sequences in GDPase Golgi localization and the requirement for multiple hydrophilic protein domains support a model for Golgi localization invoking protein-protein interactions rather than interactions between the TMD and the lipid bilayer.

Abstract
The oligosaccharide profiles in glycoproteins are determined by a series of processing reactions catalyzed by Golgi glycosyltransferases and glycosidases. Recently in vivo galactose incorporation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been demonstrated through the expression of human beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase in an alg1 mutant, suggesting the presence of a UDP-galactose transporter in S. cerevisiae (Schwientek, T., Narimatsu, H., and Ernst, J. F. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 3398-3405). However, this is quite unexpected, because S. cerevisiae does not have galactose residues in its glycoproteins. To address this question we have constructed S. cerevisiae mnn1 mutant strains expressing Schizosaccharomyces pombe alpha-1,2-galactosyltransferase. The mnn1 mutant of S. cerevisiae provides endogenous acceptors for galactose transfer by the expressed alpha-1,2-galactosyltransferase. We present here three lines of evidences for the existence of UDP-galactose transporter in S. cerevisiae. (i) About 15-20% of the total transformed mnn1 cells grown in a galactose medium were stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated alpha-galactose-specific lectin, indicating the presence of alpha-galactose residues on the cell surface. (ii) Galactomannan proteins can be precipitated with agarose-immobilized alpha-galactose-specific lectin from a whole cell lysate prepared from transformed mnn1 cells grown in a galactose medium. (iii) The presence of UDP-galactose transporter was demonstrated by direct transport assay. This transport in S. cerevisiae is dependent on time, temperature, and protein concentration and is inhibited by nucleotide monophosphate and Triton X-100. The overall UDP-galactose transport in S. cerevisiae is comparable with that in S. pombe, indicating a more or less similar reaction velocity, while the rate of GDP-mannose transport is higher in S. pombe than in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glycoproteins and sphingolipids are modified in the Golgi by the addition of mannose residues. The critical mannosyl donor for these reactions is the nucleotide sugar, GDP-mannose, whose transport into the Golgi from the cytoplasm is required for mannosylation. This transport reaction has been well characterized, but the nucleotide sugar transporter has yet to be identified in yeast. VRG4 is an essential gene whose product is required for a number of Golgi-specific functions, including glycosylation and the organization of the endomembrane system. Here, data are presented that demonstrate that the primary role of Vrg4p is in the transport of GDP-mannose into the Golgi. The vrg4 mutation causes a general impairment in mannosylation, affecting N-linked and O-linked glycoprotein modifications as well as the mannosylation of sphingolipids. By using an in vitro assay, vrg4 mutants were shown to be specifically defective in the transport of GDP-mannose into Golgi vesicles. The Vrg4 protein localizes to the Golgi complex in a pattern that suggests a wide distribution throughout the Golgi. Vrg4p displays homology to other putative nucleotide sugar transporters, suggesting that the VRG4 gene encodes a Golgi GDP-mannose transporter. As Vrg4p is essential, these results suggest that a complete lack of mannosylation of glycoproteins in the Golgi leads to inviability. Alternatively, the essential function of Vrg4p in yeast involves its effect on sphingolipids, which would imply a critical role for mannosylinositol phosphorylceramides or mannosyl diphosphoinositol ceramides on growth and viability.

Abstract
Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae OCH1 gene encodes the mannosyltransferase that is essential for the outer chain elongation of N-linked oligosaccharides. Mannosyltransferase activity of OCH1 gene product (Och1p) was measured on HPLC by using pyridylaminated Man8GlcNAc2 (Man8GlcNAc2-PA) as an acceptor and the reaction product was observed at the retention time corresponding to Man9GlcNAc2-PA. 1H-NMR and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) fragmentation analysis of Man9GlcNAc2-PA showed that the additional mannose was attached with an alpha-1,6 linkage at the site where mannose outer chain elongation initiates. Substrate specificity of Och1p was investigated by using various high mannose-type oligosaccharides as acceptors. Man8GlcNAc2 was the best acceptor for Och1p. The loss of one or two alpha-1,2-mannoses from Man8GlcNAc2 reduced the mannosyltransferase activity and the Man5GlcNAc2 completely lacking alpha-1,2-mannose residues did not serve as an acceptor. Man8GlcNAcOH that involves an open sugar ring by reduction of reducing terminal GlcNAc residue did not serve as an acceptor for Och1p. The loss of three mannoses at the alpha-1,6-branch also reduced the Och1p activity. These results suggest that Och1p is an initiation specific alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase that requires the intact structure of Man8GlcNAc for efficient mannose outer chain initiation.

Abstract
In yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae the N-linked sugar chain is modified at different positions by the addition of mannosylphosphate. The mnn6 mutant is deficient in the mannosylphosphate transferase activity toward mannotetraose (Karson, E. M., and Ballou, C. E. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 6484-6492). We have cloned the MNN6 gene by complementation. It has encoded a 446-amino acid polypeptide with the characteristics of type II membrane protein. The deduced Mnn6p showed a significant similarity to Kre2p/Mnt1p, a Golgi alpha-1, 2-mannosyltransferase involved in O-glycosylation. The null mutant of MNN6 showed a normal cell growth, less binding to Alcian blue, hypersensitivity to Calcoflour White and hygromycin B, and diminished mannosylphosphate transferase activity toward the endoplasmic reticulum core oligosaccharide acceptors (Man8GlcNAc2-PA and Man5GlcNAc2-PA) in vitro, suggesting the involvement of the MNN6 gene in the endoplasmic reticulum core oligosaccharide phosphorylation. However, no differences were observed in N-linked mannoprotein oligosaccharides between Deltaoch1 Deltamnn1 cells and Deltaoch1Deltamnn1Deltamnn6 cells, indicating the existence of redundant genes required for the core oligosaccharide phosphorylation. Based on a dramatic decrease in polymannose outer chain phosphorylation by MNN6 gene disruption and a determination of the mannosylphosphorylation site in the acceptor, it is postulated that the MNN6 gene may be a structural gene encoding a mannosylphosphate transferase, which recognizes any oligosaccharides with at least one alpha-1,2-linked mannobiose unit.

Abstract
A particulate insoluble enzyme fraction containing mannosyltransferases from Candida guilliermondii IFO 10279 strain cells was obtained as the residue after extracting a 105,000 x g pellet of cell homogenate with 1% Triton X-100. Incubation of this fraction with a mannopentaose, Manalpha1-->3(Manalpha1-->6)Manalpha1-->2Manalpha1+ ++-->2Man, in the presence of GDP-mannose and Mn2+ ion at pH 6.0 gave a third type of beta-1,2 linkage-containing mannohexaose, Manbeta1-->2Manalpha1-->3(Manalpha1-->6)Manalpha1++ +-->2Manalpha1-->2Man , the structure of which was identified by means of a sequential NMR assignment. The results of a substrate specificity study indicated that the beta-1,2-mannosyltransferase requires a mannobiosyl unit, Manalpha1--> 3Manalpha1-->, at the nonreducing terminal site. We synthesized novel oligosaccharides using substrates possessing a nonreducing terminal alpha-1,3-linked mannose unit prepared from various yeast mannans. Further incubation of the enzymatically synthesized oligosaccharide with the enzyme fraction gave the following structure, Manbeta1-->2Manbeta1-->2Manalpha1-->3(Manalpha1- ->6)Manalpha1--> 2Manalpha1-->2Man, which has been found to correspond to antigenic factor 9. Incubation of Candida albicans serotype B mannan with the enzyme fraction gave significantly transformed mannan, which contains the third type of beta-1,2-linked mannose units.

Abstract
We have determined a role for Ktr1p and Ktr3p as mannosyltransferases in the synthesis of the carbohydrate chains attached to Saccharomyces cerevisiae O- and N-modified proteins. KTR1 and KTR3 encode related proteins that are highly similar to the Kre2p/Mnt1p Golgi alpha1,2-mannosyltransferase (Lussier, M., Camirand, A., Sdicu, A.-M., and Bussey, H. (1993) Yeast 9, 1057-1063; Mallet, L., Bussereau, F., and Jacquet, M. (1994) Yeast 10, 819-831). Examination of the electrophoretic mobility of a specifically O-linked protein from mutants and an analysis of their total O-linked mannosyl chains demonstrates that Ktr1p, Ktr3p, and Kre2p/Mnt1p have overlapping roles and collectively add most of the second and the third alpha1,2-linked mannose residues on O-linked oligosaccharides. Determination of the mobility of the specifically N-linked glycoprotein invertase in different null strains indicates that Ktr1p, Ktr3p, and Kre2p are also jointly involved in N-linked glycosylation, possibly in establishing some of the outer chain alpha1,2-linkages.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
The coatomer (COPI) complex mediates Golgi to ER recycling of membrane proteins containing a dilysine retrieval motif. However, COPI was initially characterized as an anterograde-acting coat complex. To investigate the direct and primary role(s) of COPI in ER/Golgi transport and in the secretory pathway in general, we used PCR-based mutagenesis to generate new temperature-conditional mutant alleles of one COPI gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SEC21 (gamma-COP). Unexpectedly, all of the new sec21 ts mutants exhibited striking, cargo-selective ER to Golgi transport defects. In these mutants, several proteins (i.e., CPY and alpha-factor) were completely blocked in the ER at nonpermissive temperature; however, other proteins (i.e., invertase and HSP150) in these and other COPI mutants were secreted normally. Nearly identical cargo-specific ER to Golgi transport defects were also induced by Brefeldin A. In contrast, all proteins tested required COPII (ER to Golgi coat complex), Sec18p (NSF), and Sec22p (v-SNARE) for ER to Golgi transport. Together, these data suggest that COPI plays a critical but indirect role in anterograde transport, perhaps by directing retrieval of transport factors required for packaging of certain cargo into ER to Golgi COPII vesicles. Interestingly, CPY-invertase hybrid proteins, like invertase but unlike CPY, escaped the sec21 ts mutant ER block, suggesting that packaging into COPII vesicles may be mediated by cis-acting sorting determinants in the cargo proteins themselves. These hybrid proteins were efficiently targeted to the vacuole, indicating that COPI is also not directly required for regulated Golgi to vacuole transport. Additionally, the sec21 mutants exhibited early Golgi-specific glycosylation defects and structural aberrations in early but not late Golgi compartments at nonpermissive temperature. Together, these studies demonstrate that although COPI plays an important and most likely direct role both in Golgi-ER retrieval and in maintenance/function of the cis-Golgi, COPI does not appear to be directly required for anterograde transport through the secretory pathway.

Abstract
Eukaryotic glycan structures are progressively elaborated in the secretory pathway. Following the addition of a core N-linked carbohydrate in the endoplasmic reticulum, glycoproteins move to the Golgi complex where the elongation of O-linked sugar chains and processing of complex N-linked oligosaccharide structures take place. In order to better define how such post-translational modifications occur, we have been studying a yeast gene family in which at least one member, KRE2/MNT1, is involved in protein glycosylation. The family currently contains five other members: YUR1, KTR1, KTR2, KTR3 and KTR4 (Mallet, L., Bussereau, F., and Jacquet, M. (1994) Yeast 10, 819-831). All encode putative type II membrane proteins with a short cytoplasmic N terminus, a membrane-spanning region, and a highly conserved catalytic lumenal domain. Kre2p/Mnt1p is a alpha 1,2-mannosyltransferase involved in O- and N-linked glycosylation (Häusler, A., Ballou, L., Ballou, C.E., and Robbins, P.W. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89, 6846-6850); however, the role of the other proteins has not yet been established. We have carried out a functional analysis of Ktr1p, Ktr2p, and Yur1p. By in vitro assays, Ktr1p, Ktr2p, and Yur1p have been shown to be mannosyltransferase but, in vivo, do not appear to be involved in O-glycosylation. Examination of the electrophoretic mobility of the N-linked modified protein invertase in null mutant strains indicates that Ktr1p, Ktr2p, and Yur1p are involved in N-linked glycosylation, possibly as redundant enzymes. As found with Kre2p (Hill, K., Boone, C., Goebl, M., Puccia, R., Sdicu, A.-M., and Bussey, H. (1992) Genetics 130, 273-283), Ktr1p, Ktr2p, and Yur1p also seem to be implicated in the glycosylation of cell wall mannoproteins, since yeast cells containing different gene disruptions become K1 killer toxin-resistant. Immunofluorescence microscopy reveals that like Kre2p; Ktr1p, Ktr2p and Yur1p are localized in the Golgi complex.

Abstract
Outer chain glycosylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to heterogeneous and immunogenic asparagine-linked saccharide chains containing more than 50 mannose residues on secreted glycoproteins. Using a [3H]mannose suicide selection procedure a collection of N-glycosylation defective mutants (designated ngd) was isolated. One mutant, ngd29, was found to have a defect in the initiation of the outer chain and displayed a temperature growth sensitivity at 37 degrees C allowing the isolation of the corresponding gene by complementation. Cloning, sequencing and disruption of NGD29 showed that it is a non lethal gene and identical to OCH1. It complemented both the glycosylation and growth defect. Membranes isolated from an ngd29 disruptant or an ngd29mnn1 double mutant were no longer able, in contrast to membranes from wild type cells, to transfer mannose from GDPmannose to Man8GlcNAc2, the in vivo acceptor for building up the outer chain. Heterologous expression of glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger in an ngd29mnn1 double mutant produced a secreted uniform glycoprotein with exclusively Man8GlcNAc2 structure that in wild type yeast is heavily hyperglycosylated. The data indicate that this mutant strain is a suitable host for the expression of recombinant glycoproteins from different origin in S. cerevisiae to obtain mammalian oligomannosidic type N-linked carbohydrate chains.

The DNA sequence of a 2967 bp fragment located near the centromere of chromosome II, between the CEN2 and FUR4 genes, was determined. The segment contains a new open reading frame of 1794 bp. The product encoded by the gene, designated TTP1, is a predicted type II membrane protein of 597 amino acid residues with a short cytoplasmic NH2-terminus, a membrane-spanning region and a large COOH-terminal region containing three potential N-glycosylation sites. Gene disruption indicated that TTP1 is not essential for cell growth.
