[PMID: 33843059 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.30377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Family with sequence similarity 134 member B (FAM134B)/RETREG1/JK1 is a novel gene with recently reported roles in various diseases. Understanding the function and mechanism of action of FAM134B is necessary to develop disease therapies. Notably, emerging data are clarifying the molecular mechanisms of FAM134B function in organelle membrane morphogenesis and the regulation of signaling pathways, such as the Wnt and AKT signaling pathways. In addition, transcription factors, RNA N6 -methyladenosine-mediated epigenetic regulation, microRNA, and small molecules are involved in the regulation of FAM134B expression. This review comprehensively considers recent studies on the role of FAM134B and its potential mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases, obesity, viral diseases, cancer, and other diseases. The functions of FAM134B in maintaining cell homeostasis by regulating Golgi morphology, endoplasmic reticulum autophagy, and mitophagy are also highlighted, which may be the underlying mechanism of FAM134B gene mutation-induced diseases. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms of the FAM134B function during numerous biological processes are discussed. This review provides novel insights into the functions and mechanisms of FAM134B in various diseases, which will inform the development of effective drugs to treat diseases.

Abstract
A simple, accurate, sensitive and robust assay that can rapidly and specifically measure the death of target cells would have applications in many areas of biomedicine and particularly for the development of novel cellular- and immune-therapeutics. In this study, we describe a novel cytotoxicity assay, termed the Matador assay, which takes advantage of the extreme brightness, stability and glow-like characteristics of recently discovered novel marine luciferases and their engineered derivatives. The assay involves expression of a luciferase of interest in target cells in a manner so that it is preferentially retained within the healthy cells but is either released from dead and dying cells or whose activity can be preferentially measured in dead and dying cells. We demonstrate that this assay is highly sensitive, specific, rapid, and can be performed in a single-step manner without the need for any expensive equipment. We further validate this assay by demonstrating its ability to detect cytotoxicity induced by several cellular and immune-therapeutic agents including antibodies, natural killer cells, chimeric antigen receptor expressing T cells and a bispecific T cell engager.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studying the biological pathways involved in mammalian milk production during lactation could have many clinical implications. The mammary gland is unique in its requirement for transport of free glucose into the cell for the synthesis of lactose, the primary carbohydrate in milk. OBJECTIVE To study GLUT1 trafficking and subcellular targeting in living mammary epithelial cells (MEC) in culture. METHODS Immunocytochemistry was used to study GLUT1 hormonally regulated subcellular targeting in human MEC (HMEC). To study GLUT1 targeting and recycling in living mouse MEC (MMEC) in culture, we constructed fusion proteins of GLUT1 and green fluorescent protein (GFP) and expressed them in CIT3 MMEC. Cells were maintained in growth medium (GM), or exposed to secretion medium (SM), containing prolactin. RESULTS GLUT1 in HMEC localized primarily to the plasma membrane in GM. After exposure to prolactin for 4 days, GLUT1 was targeted intracellularly and demonstrated a perinuclear distribution, co-localizing with lactose synthetase. The dynamic trafficking of GFP-GLUT1 fusion proteins in CIT3 MMEC suggested a basal constitutive GLUT1 recycling pathway between an intracellular pool and the cell surface that targets most GLUT1 to the plasma membrane in GM. Upon exposure to prolactin in SM, GLUT1 was specifically targeted intracellularly within 90-110 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Our studies suggest intracellular targeting of GLUT1 to the central vesicular transport system upon exposure to prolactin. The existence of a dynamic prolactin-induced sorting machinery for GLUT1 could be important for transport of free glucose into the Golgi for lactose synthesis during lactation.

Abstract
Peptide hormones and neuropeptides are packaged and stored in a specialized intracellular organelle called the dense core vesicle. It remains elusive how peptide cargoes are correctly sorted. In the present study, we show that a highly conserved Golgi-localized protein named HID-1 acts to prevent mis-sorting of peptide cargoes to lysosomes for degradation via a PtdIns3P-dependent trafficking pathway. Epistasis analysis suggests that rab-2 is epistatic to hid-1.

Abstract
Cell surface lectin staining, examination of Golgi glycosyltransferases stability and localization, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) analysis were employed to investigate conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG)-dependent glycosylation defects in HeLa cells. Both Griffonia simplicifolia lectin-II and Galanthus nivalus lectins were specifically bound to the plasma membrane glycoconjugates of COG-depleted cells, indicating defects in activity of medial- and trans-Golgi-localized enzymes. In response to siRNA-induced depletion of COG complex subunits, several key components of Golgi glycosylation machinery, including MAN2A1, MGAT1, B4GALT1 and ST6GAL1, were severely mislocalized. MALDI-TOF analysis of total N-linked glycoconjugates indicated a decrease in the relative amount of sialylated glycans in both COG3 KD and COG4 KD cells. In agreement to a proposed role of the COG complex in retrograde membrane trafficking, all types of COG-depleted HeLa cells were deficient in the Brefeldin A- and Sar1 DN-induced redistribution of Golgi resident glycosyltransferases to the endoplasmic reticulum. The retrograde trafficking of medial- and trans-Golgi-localized glycosylation enzymes was affected to a larger extent, strongly indicating that the COG complex regulates the intra-Golgi protein movement. COG complex-deficient cells were not defective in Golgi re-assembly after the Brefeldin A washout, confirming specificity in the retrograde trafficking block. The lobe B COG subcomplex subunits COG6 and COG8 were localized on trafficking intermediates that carry Golgi glycosyltransferases, indicating that the COG complex is directly involved in trafficking and maintenance of Golgi glycosylation machinery.

Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans hid-1 gene was first identified in a screen for mutants with a high-temperature-induced dauer formation (Hid) phenotype. Despite the fact that the hid-1 gene encodes a novel protein (HID-1) which is highly conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to mammals, the domain structure, subcellular localization, and exact function of HID-1 remain unknown. Previous studies and various bioinformatic softwares predicted that HID-1 contained many transmembrane domains but no known functional domain. In this study, we revealed that mammalian HID-1 localized to the medial- and trans- Golgi apparatus as well as the cytosol, and the localization was sensitive to brefeldin A treatment. Next, we demonstrated that HID-1 was a peripheral membrane protein and dynamically shuttled between the Golgi apparatus and the cytosol. Finally, we verified that a conserved N-terminal myristoylation site was required for HID-1 binding to the Golgi apparatus. We propose that HID-1 is probably involved in the intracellular trafficking within the Golgi region.

Abstract
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and its homologs from diverse marine animals are widely used as universal genetically encoded fluorescent labels. Many laboratories have focused their efforts on identification and development of fluorescent proteins with novel characteristics and enhanced properties, resulting in a powerful toolkit for visualization of structural organization and dynamic processes in living cells and organisms. The diversity of currently available fluorescent proteins covers nearly the entire visible spectrum, providing numerous alternative possibilities for multicolor labeling and studies of protein interactions. Photoactivatable fluorescent proteins enable tracking of photolabeled molecules and cells in space and time and can also be used for super-resolution imaging. Genetically encoded sensors make it possible to monitor the activity of enzymes and the concentrations of various analytes. Fast-maturing fluorescent proteins, cell clocks, and timers further expand the options for real time studies in living tissues. Here we focus on the structure, evolution, and function of GFP-like proteins and their numerous applications for in vivo imaging, with particular attention to recent techniques.

Abstract
The coronavirus membrane protein (M) is the key player in the assembly of virions at intracellular membranes between endoplasmic‐reticulum and Golgi‐complex. Using a newly established human monoclonal anti‐M antibody we detected glycosylated and nonglycosylated membrane‐associated M in severe acute respiratory syndrome‐associated coronavirus (SARS‐CoV) infected cells and in purified virions. Further analyses revealed that M contained a single N‐glycosylation site at asparagine 4. Recombinant M was transported to the plasma membrane and gained complex‐type N‐glycosylation. In SARS‐CoV infected cells and in purified virions, however, N‐glycosylation of M remained endoglycosidase H‐sensitive suggesting that trimming of the N‐linked sugar side chain is inhibited.

Abstract
In the early 1990s, the Galalpha(1,3)Gal carbohydrate linkage was found to be the major xenoepitope causing hyperacute rejection. This carbohydrate, the antibodies that bind to it, and the enzyme that produces it (alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase) were the foci of research by many groups. Nearly a decade later, alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout pigs were finally produced; hyperacute rejection could be avoided in these pigs. Having achieved this goal, enthusiasm declined for the study of glycosyltransferases and their carbohydrate products. To examine whether this decline was premature, we evaluate whether gene deletion has indeed solved the initial rejection problem or, in fact, created new problems. This review addresses this by examining the impact of the gene deletion on cell surface carbohydrate. Surprisingly, Galalpha(1,3)Gal is still present in alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout animals: it is possibly synthesized on lipid by iGb3 synthase. Furthermore, removal of alphaGal resulted in the exposure of the N-acetyllactosamine epitope. This exposed epitope can bind natural antibodies and perhaps should be capped by transgenic expression of another transferase. We believe the continued study of glycosyltransferases is essential to examine the new issues raised by the deletion of alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase.

Abstract
The Marburg virus (MARV) envelope consists of a lipid membrane and two major proteins, the matrix protein VP40 and the glycoprotein GP. Both proteins use different intracellular transport pathways: GP utilizes the exocytotic pathway, while VP40 is transported through the retrograde late endosomal pathway. It is currently unknown where the proteins combine to form the viral envelope. In the present study, we identified the intracellular site where the two major envelope proteins of MARV come together as peripheral multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Upon coexpression with VP40, GP is redistributed from the trans-Golgi network into the VP40-containing MVBs. Ultrastructural analysis of MVBs suggested that they provide the platform for the formation of membrane structures that bud as virus-like particles from the cell surface. The virus-like particles contain both VP40 and GP. Single expression of GP also resulted in the release of particles, which are round or pleomorphic. Single expression of VP40 led to the release of filamentous structures that closely resemble viral particles and contain traces of endosomal marker proteins. This finding indicated a central role of VP40 in the formation of the filamentous structure of MARV particles, which is similar to the role of the related Ebola virusVP40. In MARV-infected cells, VP40 and GP are colocalized in peripheral MVBs as well. Moreover, intracellular budding of progeny virions into MVBs was frequently detected. Taken together, these results demonstrate an intracellular intersection between GP and VP40 pathways and suggest a crucial role of the late endosomal compartment for the formation of the viral envelope.

Abstract
Many studies of endocytosis and phagocytosis presume that organelles containing a single kind of internalized particle exhibit invariant patterns of protein and phospholipid association as they mature inside cells. To test this presumption, fluorescent protein chimeras were expressed in RAW 264.7 macrophages, and time-lapse ratiometric fluorescence microscopy was used to measure the maturation dynamics of individual phagosomes containing IgG-opsonized erythrocytes. Quantitative analysis revealed consistent patterns of association for YFP chimeras of beta-actin, Rab5a, Rab7, and LAMP-1, and no association of YFP chimeras marking endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi. YFP-2xFYVE, recognizing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P), showed two patterns of phagosome labeling. Some phagosomes increased labeling quickly after phagosome closure and then lost the label within 20 min, whereas others labeled more slowly and retained the label for several hours. The two patterns of PI(3)P on otherwise identical phagosomes indicated that organelle maturation does not necessarily follow a single path and that some features of phagosome maturation are integrated over the entire organelle.

Abstract
The 6-O sulfation states of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are dynamically regulated to control the growth and specification of embryonic progenitor lineages. However, mechanisms for regulation of HSPG sulfation have been unknown. Here, we report on the biochemical and Wnt signaling activities of QSulf1, a novel cell surface sulfatase. Biochemical studies establish that QSulf1 is a heparan sulfate (HS) 6-O endosulfatase with preference, in particular, toward trisulfated IdoA2S-GlcNS6S disaccharide units within HS chains. In cells, QSulf1 can function cell autonomously to remodel the sulfation of cell surface HS and promote Wnt signaling when localized either on the cell surface or in the Golgi apparatus. QSulf1 6-O desulfation reduces XWnt binding to heparin and HS chains of Glypican1, whereas heparin binds with high affinity to XWnt8 and inhibits Wnt signaling. CHO cells mutant for HS biosynthesis are defective in Wnt-dependent Frizzled receptor activation, establishing that HS is required for Frizzled receptor function. Together, these findings suggest a two-state "catch or present" model for QSulf1 regulation of Wnt signaling in which QSulf1 removes 6-O sulfates from HS chains to promote the formation of low affinity HS-Wnt complexes that can functionally interact with Frizzled receptors to initiate Wnt signal transduction.

Abstract
The location of sarco/endoplasmic-reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) retention/retrieval motifs in the sequence of the SERCA1 has been investigated by examining the subcellular location in COS-7 cells of enhanced-green-fluorescent-protein-tagged calcium-pump chimaeras. These chimaeras have been constructed from the fast-twitch SERCA1 and the plasma-membrane calcium ATPase PMCA3. The N-terminal, central and C-terminal segments of these calcium pumps were exchanged between SERCA1 and PMCA3. The segments exchanged correspond to residues 1-211, 212-711 and 712-994 of SERCA1, and residues 1-264, 265-788 and 789-1159 of PMCA3 respectively. Only chimaeras containing the N-terminal segment of SERCA1 were located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas chimaeras containing the N-terminal segment from PMCA3 were able to escape from the ER and enter the endomembrane pathway en route for the plasma membrane. Co-localization of SERCA1 in COS-7 cells with the ER/Golgi-intermediate compartment marker ERGIC53 indicates that SERCA1 is maintained in the ER by a process of retrieval. These results indicate that the N-terminal region of SERCA1, containing transmembrane helices M1 and M2, contains an ER-retrieval signal.

Abstract
It is currently under debate whether the mechanism of Golgi retention of different glycosyltransferases is determined by sequences in the transmembrane, luminal, or cytoplasmic domains or a combination of these domains. We have shown that the cytoplasmic domains of alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase (GT) and alpha1,2-fucosyltransferase (FT) are involved in Golgi localization. Here we show that the cytoplasmic tails of GT and FT are sufficient to confer specific Golgi localization. Further, we show that the expression of only the cytoplasmic tail of GT can lead to displacement or inhibition of binding of the whole transferase and that cells expressing the cytoplasmic tail of GT were not able to express full-length GT or its product, Galalpha1,3Gal. Thus, the presence of the cytoplasmic tail prevented the localization and function of full-length GT, suggesting a possible specific Golgi binding site for GT. The effect was not altered by the inclusion of the transmembrane domain. Although the transmembrane domain may act as an anchor, these data show that, for GT, only the cytoplasmic tail is involved in specific localization to the Golgi.

Abstract
Glycoproteins with O-glycosidically linked carbohydrate chains of complex structures and functions are found in secretions and on the cell surfaces of cancer cells. The structures of O-glycans are often unusual or abnormal in cancer, and greatly contribute to the phenotype and biology of cancer cells. Some of the mechanisms of changes in O-glycosylation pathways have been determined in cancer model systems. However, O-glycan biosynthesis is a complex process that is still poorly understood. The glycosyltransferases and sulfotransferases that synthesize O-glycans appear to exist as families of related enzymes of which individual members are expressed in a tissue- and growth-specific fashion. Studies of their regulation in cancer may reveal the connection between cancerous transformation and glycosylation which may help to understand and control the abnormal biology of tumor cells.

Abstract
A region of the N-terminal extracellular domain of the B-cell restricted cell differentiation antigen, CD19, has high amino acid sequence similarity to the receptor binding subunit B of verotoxin 1 (VT), an Escherichia coli elaborated cytotoxin, which specifically binds to the cell surface glycolipid, globotriaosylceramide, also known as the germinal center (GC) B-cell differentiation antigen, CD77. We have previously provided evidence of the association of CD19 and CD77 on the cell surface and in CD19-mediated homotypic adhesion of the Daudi Burkitt Lymphoma cell line, one normal counterpart of which is a subset of GC B cells. Evidence for the role of CD77 in CD19-induced apoptosis is now presented. Initial cell surface distribution, antibody-induced redistribution, internalization, and intracellular routing of CD19 were studied by confocal microscopy, IF, and postembedding IEM in CD77+ve and CD77-ve cells to investigate the possible role of CD77 in CD19 internalization and signaling. Daudi Burkitt's lymphoma cells were used as CD77+ve cells and as CD77-ve cells, Daudi mutant VT500 cells, and Daudi cells treated with PPMP, an inhibitor of CD77 synthesis, were used. Antibody ligated CD19 surface redistribution, internalization, and subcellular distribution of internalized CD19 was found to be different in CD77+ve and CD77-ve cells. A delay in internalization of antibody-CD19 complex was observed in CD77-ve cells. Internalized CD19 was targeted to the nuclear envelope in CD77+ve cells in a manner similar to that reported for VT, but not in CD77-ve cells. Internalization of CD77 by ligation with verotoxin prevented the internalization of ligated CD19. Induction of apoptosis following crosslinking of cell surface CD19 was greater in CD77+ve cells than in CD77-ve cells. The nuclear targeting of internalized CD19 and induction of apoptosis following CD19 crosslinking only in CD77+ve cells indicates a role for CD77-dependent CD19 retrograde transport from the B cell surface via the ER to the nuclear envelope in CD19-mediated signal transduction for apoptosis.

Abstract
Chondroitin 6-sulfotransferase (C6ST) is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of chondroitin 6-sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan implicated in chondrogenesis, neoplasia, atherosclerosis, and other processes. C6ST catalyzes the transfer of sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to carbon 6 of the N-acetylgalactosamine residues of chondroitin. Based on the previously published avian sequence, we searched the database of expressed sequence tags (dbEST) and obtained partial-length cDNAs that we completed by 5'-RACE using human chondrosarcoma and endothelial-cell RNA as template. Stable transfection of our full-length expression construct into CHO-K1 cells resulted in marked increases in C6ST and keratan sulfate sulfotransferase (KSST) enzymatic activities in cell homogenates. The predicted 411 amino acid sequence of human C6ST contains an N-terminal hydrophobic domain consistent with membrane insertion, four potential sites for N-linked glycosylation, several consensus sequences for protein phosphorylation, and one RGD sequence. The human and chick C6ST cDNA share 51% nucleotide identity, 40% amino acyl identity, and 75% amino acyl conservation. The human C6ST gene structure has been elucidated and exhibits an intron-less coding region, and the gene has been mapped to human chromosome 11 by radiation hybrid panel mapping.

Abstract
The gene expression of the human Gal beta1,4(3)GlcNAc/Gal beta1,3GalNAc alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase was investigated in the leukaemic cell lines HL60, K-562, MOLT-4, THP-1 and in blood leucocytes. Five different transcripts were identified. In HL60 and THP-1 cells the expression levels of two of these changed during differentiation. Two potential AP1 binding sites were detected in the promoter regions of the gene. THP-1 cells contain proteins binding with higher affinities to these sequences in the sialyltransferase gene than to the AP1 consensus sequence, whereas nuclear extracts from HL60 cells have the opposite affinity.

Abstract
The alpha2,6-sialyltransferase (ST) is a Golgi glycosyltransferase that adds sialic acid residues to glycoprotein N-linked oligosaccharides. Here we show that two forms of alpha2,6-sialyltransferase are expressed by the liver and are encoded by two different RNAs that differ by a single nucleotide. The ST tyr possesses a Tyr at amino acid 123, whereas the ST cys possesses a Cys at this position. The ST tyr is more catalytically active than the ST cys; however, both are functional when introduced into tissue culture cells. The proteolytic processing and turnover of the ST tyr and ST cys proteins differ dramatically. The ST cys is retained intact in COS-1 cells, whereas the ST tyr is rapidly cleaved and secreted. Analysis of the N-linked oligosaccharides of these proteins demonstrates that both proteins enter the late Golgi. However, differences in ST tyr and ST cys proteolytic processing may be related to differences in their localization, because ST tyr but not ST cys is expressed at low levels on the cell surface. The possibility that the ST tyr is cleaved in a post-Golgi compartment is supported by the observation that a 20 degrees C temperature block, which stops protein transport in the trans Golgi network, blocks both cleavage and secretion of the ST tyr.

Abstract
When alpha(1,2)fucosyltransferase cDNA is expressed in cells that normally express large amounts of the terminal carbohydrate Galalpha(1,3)Gal, and therefore the alpha(1,3)galactosyltransferase (GT), the Galalpha(1,3)Gal almost disappears, indicating that the presence of the alpha(1,2)fucosyltransferase (HT) gene/enzyme alters the synthesis of Galalpha(1,3)Gal. A possible mechanism to account for these findings is enzyme location within the Golgi apparatus. We examined the effect of Golgi localization by exchanging the cytoplasmic tails of HT and GT; if Golgi targeting signals are contained within the cytoplasmic tail sequences of these enzymes then a "tail switch" would permit GT first access to the substrate and thereby reverse the observed dominance of HT. Two chimeric glycosyltransferase proteins were constructed and compared with the normal glycosyltransferases after transfection into COS cells. The chimeric enzymes showed Km values and cell surface carbohydrate expression comparable with normal glycosyltransferases. Co-expression of the two chimeric glycosyltransferases resulted in cell surface expression of Galalpha(1,3)Gal, and virtually no HT product was expressed. Thus the cytoplasmic tail of HT determines the temporal order of action, and therefore dominance, of these two enzymes.

Abstract
All cells secrete a diversity of macromolecules to modify their environment or to protect themselves. Eukaryotic cells have evolved a complex secretory pathway consisting of several membrane-bound compartments which contain specific sets of proteins. Experimental work on the secretory pathway has focused mainly on mammalian cell lines or on yeasts. Now, some general principles of the secretory pathway have become clear, and most components of the secretory pathway are conserved between yeast cells and mammalian cells. However, the structure and function of the secretory system in protists have been less extensively studied. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about the secretory pathway of five different groups of protists: Giardia lamblia, one of the earliest lines of eukaryotic evolution, kinetoplastids, the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, and two lineages within the "crown" of eukaryotic cell evolution, the alveolates (ciliates and Plasmodium species) and the green algae. Comparison of these systems with the mammalian and yeast system shows that most elements of the secretory pathway were presumably present in the earliest eukaryotic organisms. However, one element of the secretory pathway shows considerable variation: the presence of a Golgi stack and the number of cisternae within a stack. We suggest that the functional separation of the plasma membrane from the nucleus-endoplasmic reticulum system during evolution required a sorting compartment, which became the Golgi apparatus. Once a Golgi apparatus was established, it was adapted to the various needs of the different organisms.

Abstract
The Lec4A and Lec4 Chinese hamster ovary glycosylation mutants lack N-linked glycans with GlcNAcbeta(1,6)Manalpha(1,6) branches that are initiated by the transferase termed GlcNAc-TV. Detergent extracts of Lec4 cells have no detectable GlcNAc-TV activity, but Lec4A extracts have activity equivalent to that of parental Chinese hamster ovary cells. This discrepancy occurs because Lec4A GlcNAc-TV activity co-localizes with membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) instead of with Golgi membranes (Chaney, W., Sundaram, S., Friedman, N., and Stanley, P. (1989) J. Cell. Biol. 109, 2089-2096). cDNAs from the coding region of the GlcNAc-TV gene have now been isolated from each mutant line. Lec4 GlcNAc-TV cDNA was found to possess two insertions, the first of which shifts the open reading frame and codes for a truncated transferase missing 585 amino acids from the catalytic domain. By contrast, Lec4A GlcNAc-TV cDNA possesses a single point mutation from T to G, which results in a change from Leu to Arg at position 188. When transfected into Lec4 cells, both cDNAs gave the appropriate phenotype; Lec4 cDNA was unable to restore GlcNAc-TV activity, whereas Lec4A cDNA converted Lec4 cells to the Lec4A phenotype, with an active GlcNAc-TV mislocalized to ER membranes. Moreover, Lec4A cDNA cured of its mutation restored a functional, Golgi-localized GlcNAc-TV to Lec4 cells. The results demonstrate that a single change in the 740 amino acids of GlcNAc-TV serves to functionally inactivate the transferase in an intact cell by causing it to localize to the ER instead of the Golgi compartment. The mislocalized transferase retains full enzyme activity, showing that it is well folded and stable and suggesting that the L188R mutation either prevents association with exit complexes from the ER or causes retrograde transport from a Golgi compartment.

Abstract
Each organelle of the secretory pathway is required to selectively allow transit of newly synthesized secretory and plasma membrane proteins and also to maintain a unique set of resident proteins that define its structural and functional properties. In the case of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), residency is achieved in two ways: (a) prevention of residents from entering newly forming transport vesicles and (b) retrieval of those residents that escape. The latter mechanism is directed by discrete retrieval motifs: Soluble proteins have a H/KDEL sequence at their carboxy-terminus; membrane proteins have a dibasic motif, either di-lysine or di-arginine, located close to the terminus of their cytoplasmic domain. Recently it was found that di-lysine motifs bind the complex of cytosolic coat proteins, COP I, and that this interaction functions in the retrieval of proteins from the Golgi to the ER. Also discussed are the potential roles this interaction may have in vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
Translocation of nucleotide sugars across the membrane of the Golgi apparatus is a prerequisite for the synthesis of complex carbohydrate structures. While specific transport systems for different nucleotide sugars have been identified biochemically in isolated microsomes and Golgi vesicles, none of these transport proteins has been characterized at the molecular level. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) mutants of the complementation group Lec2 exhibit a strong reduction in sialylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids due to a defect in the CMP-sialic acid transport system. By complementation cloning in the mutant 6B2, belonging to the Lec2 complementation group, we were able to isolate a cDNA encoding the putative murine Golgi CMP-sialic acid transporter. The cloned cDNA encodes a highly hydrophobic, multiple membrane spanning protein of 36.4 kDa, with structural similarity to the recently cloned ammonium transporters. Transfection of a hemagglutinin-tagged fusion protein into the mutant 6B2 led to Golgi localization of the hemagglutinin epitope. Our results, together with the observation that the cloned gene shares structural similarities to other recently cloned transporter proteins, strongly suggest that the isolated cDNA encodes the CMP-sialic acid transporter.

Abstract
The human Lewis gene encodes an alpha(1,3/1,4)-fucosyltransferase responsible for synthesis of the Le(a) and a Le(b) antigens. To define the molecular background for non-functional Lewis genes we have sequenced PCR-amplified DNA fragments from two Le(a-b-) individuals. One was homozygously mutated at nucleotides 202(T --> C) and 314 (C --> T), altering Trp68 to Arg and Thr105 to Met, and the other was homozygously mutated at nucleotides 59 (T --> G) and 1067 (T --> A), altering Leu20 to Arg and Ile356 to Lys. Using PCR we screened for these and additionally one other mutation at nucleotide 508 (G --> A) among 40 Caucasians. Of 15 Le(a-b-) individuals, 7 typed as le59/1067le202/314, 4 as le202/314le202/314 and 1 as le59/1067le59/1067. Of 21 Le(a-b+) and 4 Le(a+b-), 17 typed as LeLe and 7 as Lele202/314. A pedigree study of 8 Lewis-positive individuals showed that the mutations at nucleotides 202 and 314 were located on the same allele.

Abstract
The yeast Kre2p/Mnt1p alpha 1,2-mannosyltransferase is a type II membrane protein with a short cytoplasmic amino terminus, a membrane-spanning region, and a large catalytic luminal domain containing one N-glycosylation site. Anti-Kre2p/Mnt1p antibodies identify a 60-kD integral membrane protein that is progressively N-glycosylated in an MNN1-dependent manner. Kre2p/Mnt1p is localized in a Golgi compartment that overlaps with that containing the medial-Golgi mannosyltransferase Mnn1p, and distinct from that including the late Golgi protein Kex1p. To determine which regions of Kre2p/Mnt1p are required for Golgi localization, Kre2p/Mnt1p mutant proteins were assembled by substitution of Kre2p domains with equivalent sequences from the vacuolar proteins DPAP B and Pho8p. Chimeric proteins were tested for correct topology, in vitro and in vivo activity, and were localized intracellularly by indirect immunofluorescence. The results demonstrate that the NH2-terminal cytoplasmic domain is necessary for correct Kre2p Golgi localization whereas, the membrane-spanning and stem domains are dispensable. However, in a test of targeting sufficiency, the presence of the entire Kre2p cytoplasmic tail, plus the transmembrane domain and a 36-amino acid residue luminal stem region was required to localize a Pho8p reporter protein to the yeast Golgi.
