Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are indispensable for the physiology of organisms and the molecular regulation of cells. We observed that CGK733, a synthetic chemical substance, induced non-apoptotic cell death and stimulated reversible calcium sequestration by vesicles in pancreatic cancer cells. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3/C/EBP homologous protein (PERK/CHOP) signaling pathway was shown to be activated by treatment with CGK733. Ionomycin, an ER stress drug and calcium ionophore, can activate PERK/CHOP signaling and accelerate CGK733-induced calcium sequestration. Knockdown of CHOP diminished CGK733-induced vesicular calcium sequestration, but had no effects on the cell death. Proteomic analysis demonstrated that the ER-located calcium-binding proteins, calumenin and protein S100-A11, were altered in CGK733-treated cells compared to non-treated controls. Our study reveals that CGK733-induced intracellular calcium sequestration is correlated with the PERK/CHOP signaling pathway and may also be involved in the dysregulations of calcium-binding proteins.

Abstract
Protein glycolysation is an essential posttranslational modification in eukaryotic cells. In pathogenic yeasts, it is involved in a large number of biological processes, such as protein folding quality control, cell viability and host/pathogen relationships. A link between protein glycosylation and apoptosis was established by the analysis of the phenotypes of oligosaccharyltransferase mutants in budding yeast. However, little is known about the contribution of glycosylation modifications to the adaptive response to apoptosis inducers. The cysteine protease metacaspase Mca1p plays a key role in the apoptotic response in Candida albicans triggered by the quorum sensing molecule farnesol. We subjected wild-type and mca1-deletion strains to farnesol stress and then studied the early phase of apoptosis release in quantitative glycoproteomics and glycomics experiments on cell-free extracts essentially devoid of cell walls. We identified and characterized 62 new glycosylated peptides with their glycan composition: 17 N-glycosylated, 45 O-glycosylated, and 81 additional sites of N-glycosylation. They were found to be involved in the control of protein folding, cell wall integrity and cell cycle regulation. We showed a general increase in the O-glycosylation of proteins in the mca1 deletion strain after farnesol challenge. We identified 44 new putative protein substrates of the metacaspase in the glycoprotein fraction enriched on concanavalin A. Most of these substrates are involved in protein folding or protein resolubilization and in mitochondrial functions. We show here that key Mca1p substrates, such as Cdc48p or Ssb1p, involved in degrading misfolded glycoproteins and in the protein quality control system, are themselves differentially glycosylated. We found putative substrates, such as Bgl2p (validated by immunoblot), Srb1p or Ugp1p, that are involved in the biogenesis of glycans. Our findings highlight a new role of the metacaspase in amplifying cell death processes by affecting several critical protein quality control systems through the alteration of the protein glycosylation machinery.Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD003677.

Abstract
The effects of a fractionated 70% ethanolic extract of propolis were analyzed at the subproteome level by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Differential detergent fractionation was used to fractionate proteins from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae according to their subcellular localization. Thus, four subcellular proteomes were obtained: cytosolic, membrane/organelle, nuclear, and cytoskeletal. Yeast treatment resulted in changes in the levels of proteins involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism, antioxidant defense, actin filament dynamics, folding of proteins, and others. On the basis of this information, we can obtain better insights into the processes that are carried out in cells exposed to propolis extract.

Abstract
H+ transport driven by V H+-ATPase was found in membrane fractions enriched with ER/PM and Golgi/Golgi-like membranes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae efficiently purified in sucrose density gradient from the vacuolar membranes according to the determination of the respective markers including vacuolar Ca2+-ATPase, Pmc1::HA. Purification of ER from PM by a removal of PM modified with concanavalin A reduced H+ transport activity of P H+-ATPase by more than 75% while that of V H+-ATPase remained unchanged. ER H+ ATPase exhibits higher resistance to bafilomycin (I50=38.4 nM) than Golgi and vacuole pumps (I50=0.18 nM). The ratio between a coupling efficiency of the pumps in ER, membranes heavier than ER, vacuoles and Golgi is 1.0, 2.1, 8.5 and 14 with the highest coupling in the Golgi. The comparative analysis of the initial velocities of H+ transport mediated by V H+-ATPases in the ER, Golgi and vacuole membrane vesicles, and immunoreactivity of the catalytic subunit A and regulatory subunit B further supported the conclusion that V H+-ATPase is the intrinsic enzyme of the yeast ER and Golgi and likely presented by distinct forms and/or selectively regulated.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) constitute a class of glycolipids that have various functions, the most basic being to attach proteins to the surface of eukaryotic cells. GPIs have to be taken into account, when expressing surface antigens from parasitic protozoa in heterologous systems. The synthesis of the GPI-anchors was previously reported to be drastically decreased to almost background level following baculovirus infection. Here we describe a new method to express GPI-anchor proteins in insect cells relying on using of a supplementary baculovirus construct that overexpresses the N-acetylglucosaminyl phosphatidylinositol de-N-acetylase, the enzyme catalyzing the second step in the GPI biosynthetic pathway.

Abstract
Identical masses of submerged Trichoderma viride mycelia of various ages were used as inoculum for a second submerged cultivation lasting for 24 h. It was found that the growth yield of secondary culture was dependent on the age of inoculum. The growth yields increased when the age of primary culture was less than 3 d, and decreased down to zero when older mycelia were inoculated. The mycelia were living even after 1 month of submerged cultivation, as they formed conidia after inoculating onto solid medium. In order to elucidate underlying biochemical processes, developmental changes of specific activities of organellar marker enzymes were measured in the mitochondrial/vacuolar and microsomal fractions of mycelia. These activities changed during the growth of mycelia in a biphasic manner and their time courses were remarkably similar. Only the H(+)-ATPase activity decreased monophasically with the age of mycelia. Membrane-bound proteases of both membrane fractions changed differently upon ageing. These results could not be explained as a consequence of nutrient starvation and indicate that the prolonged submerged cultivation triggers coordinated series of biochemical events which leads to the loss of growth competence.

Abstract
Rhodnius prolixus midgut was analysed using transmission electron microscopy and electron spectroscopic imaging in order to localize the cellular structures involved in haem metabolism. In the posterior midgut, special cellular electron-dense structures were observed. These structures are here designated haemoxisomes. Haemoxisomes are present in the epithelial cells at various time points after a blood meal. Several days after the blood meal, some of them become less electron-dense. By electron spectroscopic imaging, large amounts of iron and oxygen were detected in these cellular structures. The iron is probably bound to the porphyrin ring as an iron-protoporphyrin IX complex, as detected using the diaminobenzidine technique. An interesting observation was the presence of endoplasmic reticulum surrounding the haemoxisomes during some special periods. Iron content was monitored in the posterior midgut epithelium and was found to be constant at the initial days after a blood meal, but slightly higher at the end of the digestive process (from 13th up to 20th day). These results are in agreement with the observation that the appearance of the haemoxisomes changes at the end of the digestive process. The ability to degrade haem seems to depend on the presence of endoplasmic reticulum as observed using a haem degradation assay in the presence of an endoplasmic reticulum-enriched fraction. Taken together these results suggest that haemoxisomes may play a role in intracellular haem detoxification.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves many specialized functions in the cell including calcium storage and gated release, biosynthesis of membrane and secretory proteins, and production of lipids and sterols. Therefore, the ER integrates many internal and external signals to coordinate downstream responses, although the mechanism(s) that maintain homeostasis are largely unknown. When misfolded or unfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, an intracellular signaling pathway termed the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated. Identification of IRE1 in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a proximal sensor in the UPR pathway was a milestone in understanding how the ER responds to the accumulation of unfolded protein and signals transcriptional activation through regulated nonconventional splicing of its substrate mRNA encoding the transcription factor Hac1p. Subsequent studies identified IRE1 and HAC1 homologues in mammalian cells. Here, we summarize various approaches to study the IRE1-Hac1 pathway in yeast and the homologous IRE1-XBP1 pathway in mammalian cells. We present microbiological growth assays for the UPR, reporter assays for UPR signaling, direct techniques to measure UPR activation in vivo, methods to study translation of HAC1 mRNA, and in vitro cleavage and ligation of HAC1 and XBP1 mRNA. Especially we think the newly developed quantitative and qualitative methods to detect IRE1 activity-dependent XBP1 mRNA splicing will be fast and accurate tools to show the activation of the UPR.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells respond to the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by activating a transcriptional induction program termed the unfolded protein response (UPR). The transcription factor Hac1p responsible for the UPR in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is tightly regulated by a post-transcriptional mechanism. HAC1 mRNA must be spliced in response to ER stress to produce Hac1p, which then activates transcription via direct binding to the cis-acting UPR element (UPRE) present in the promoter regions of its target genes. Here, we show that the HAC1 promoter itself responds to ER stress to induce transcription of its downstream gene, similarly to the KAR2 promoter; the KAR2 gene represents a major target of the UPR. Consistent with this observation, the HAC1 promoter contains an UPRE-like sequence, which is necessary and sufficient for the induction and to which Hac1p binds directly. Cells expressing the HAC1 gene from a mutant HAC1 promoter lacking the HAC1 UPRE could not maintain high levels of either unspliced or spliced HAC1 mRNA and became sensitive to ER stress when insulted for hours. Based on these results, we concluded that autoregulation of the HAC1 genes is required for sustained activation of the UPR and sustained resistance to ER stress.

Abstract
We explored the role of known copper transporters and chaperones in delivering copper to peptidylglycine-alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM), a copper-dependent enzyme that functions in the secretory pathway lumen. We examined the roles of yeast Ccc2, a P-type ATPase related to human ATP7A (Menkes disease protein) and ATP7B (Wilson disease protein), as well as yeast Atx1, a cytosolic copper chaperone. We expressed soluble PHMcc (catalytic core) in yeast using the yeast pre-pro-alpha-mating factor leader region to target the enzyme to the secretory pathway. Although the yeast genome encodes no PHM-like enzyme, PHMcc expressed in yeast is at least as active as PHMcc produced by mammalian cells. PHMcc partially co-migrated with a Golgi marker during subcellular fractionation and partially co-localized with Ccc2 based on immunofluorescence. To determine whether production of active PHM was dependent on copper trafficking pathways involving the CCC2 or ATX1 genes, we expressed PHMcc in wild-type, ccc2, and atx1 mutant yeast. Although ccc2 and atx1 mutant yeast produce normal levels of PHMcc protein, it lacks catalytic activity. Addition of exogenous copper yields fully active PHMcc. Similarly, production of active PHM in mouse fibroblasts is impaired in the presence of a mutant ATP7A gene. Although delivery of copper to lumenal cuproproteins like PAM involves ATP7A, lumenal chaperones may not be required.

Abstract
The yeast plasma-membrane H(+)-ATPase, encoded by PMA1, is delivered to the cell surface via the secretory pathway and has recently emerged as an excellent system for identifying quality control mechanisms along the pathway. In the present study, we have tracked the biogenesis of Pma1-G381A, a misfolded mutant form of the H(+)-ATPase. Although this mutant ATPase is arrested transiently in the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum, it does not become a substrate for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation nor does it appear to stimulate an unfolded protein response. Instead, Pma1-G381A accumulates in Kar2p-containing vesicular-tubular clusters that resemble those previously described in mammalian cells. Like their mammalian counterparts, the yeast vesicular-tubular clusters may correspond to specific exit ports from the endoplasmic reticulum, since Pma1-G381A eventually escapes from them (still in a misfolded, trypsin-sensitive form) to reach the plasma membrane. By comparison with wild-type ATPase, Pma1-G381A spends a short half-life at the plasma membrane before being removed and sent to the vacuole for degradation in a process that requires both End4p and Pep4p. Finally, in a separate set of experiments, Pma1-G381A was found to impose its phenotype on co-expressed wild-type ATPase, transiently retarding the wild-type protein in the ER and later stimulating its degradation in the vacuole. Both effects serve to lower the steady-state amount of wild-type ATPase in the plasma membrane and, thus, can explain the co-dominant genetic behavior of the G381A mutation. Taken together, the results of this study establish Pma1-G381A as a useful new probe for the yeast secretory system.

Abstract
PURPOSE Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) result from mutations in N-glycan biosynthesis. Mutations in phosphomannomutase (PMM2) cause CDG-Ia. Here, we report four clinically mild patients and their mutations in PMM2. METHODS Analysis of the PMM2 cDNA and gene revealed the mutations affecting the glycosylation efficiency. RESULTS The patients have 30% to 50% normal PMM activity in fibroblasts due to different mutations in PMM2, and we studied the effect of each mutation on the PMM activity in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression system. CONCLUSIONS Each patient carried a severe mutation that decreased the PMM activity to less than 10% as well as a relatively mild mutation. A new mutation, deletion of base 24, changed the reading frame. The C9Y, C241S, and L32R mutations showed 27% to 45% activity when expressed in the eukaryotic expression system, and the more severe D148N was shown to be thermolabile.

Abstract
We determined the H+ and Ca(2+) uptake by fission yeast membranes separated on sucrose gradient and found that (i) Ca(2+) sequestering is due to Ca(2+)/H+ antiporter(s) localized to secretory pathway organelles while Ca(2+)-ATPase activity is not detectable in their membranes; (ii) immunochemically distinct V-H+-ATPases acidify the lumen of the secretory pathway organelles. The data indicate that the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and vacuole form a network of Ca(2+) and H+ stores in the single cell, providing favorable conditions for such key processes as protein folding/sorting, membrane fusion, ion homeostasis and Ca(2+) signaling in a differential and local manner.

Abstract
Wild-type and chimeric constructs comprising rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase and the N-terminal cytoplasmic portion of yeast plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase were expressed in yeast under control of a heat-shock regulated promoter. The wild-type ATPase was found predominantly in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes. Addition of the first 88 residues of H(+)-ATPase to the Ca(2+)-ATPase N-terminal end promoted a marked shift in the localization of chimeric H(+)/Ca(2+)-ATPase which accumulated in a light membrane fraction associated with yeast smooth ER. Furthermore, there was a three-fold increase in the overall level of expression of chimeric H(+)/Ca(2+)-ATPase. Similar results were obtained for a chimeric Ca(2+)-ATPase containing a hexahistidine sequence added to its N-terminal end. Both H(+)/Ca(2+)-ATPase and 6xHis-Ca(2+)-ATPase were functional as demonstrated by their ability to form a phosphorylated intermediate and undergo fast turnover. Conversely, a replacement chimera in which the N-terminal end of SR Ca(2+)-ATPase was replaced by the corresponding segment of H(+)-ATPase was not stably expressed in yeast membranes. These results indicate that the N-terminal segment of Ca(2+)-ATPase plays an important role in enzyme assembly and contains structural determinants necessary for ER retention of the ATPase.

Abstract
Eukaryotic proteins containing a C-terminal CAAX motif undergo a series of posttranslational CAAX-processing events that include isoprenylation, C-terminal proteolytic cleavage, and carboxyl methylation. We demonstrated previously that the STE14 gene product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mediates the carboxyl methylation step of CAAX processing in yeast. In this study, we have investigated the subcellular localization of Ste14p, a predicted membrane-spanning protein, using a polyclonal antibody generated against the C terminus of Ste14p and an in vitro methyltransferase assay. We demonstrate by immunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation that Ste14p and its associated activity are localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane of yeast. In addition, other studies from our laboratory have shown that the CAAX proteases are also ER membrane proteins. Together these results indicate that the intracellular site of CAAX protein processing is the ER membrane, presumably on its cytosolic face. Interestingly, the insertion of a hemagglutinin epitope tag at the N terminus, at the C terminus, or at an internal site disrupts the ER localization of Ste14p and results in its mislocalization, apparently to the Golgi. We have also expressed the Ste14p homologue from Schizosaccharomyces pombe, mam4p, in S. cerevisiae and have shown that mam4p complements a Deltaste14 mutant. This finding, plus additional recent examples of cross-species complementation, indicates that the CAAX methyltransferase family consists of functional homologues.

Abstract
The PMR1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is thought to encode a putative Ca(2+)-ATPase [1]. Membranes isolated from wild-type cells and from pmr1 null mutant of S. cerevisiae were fractionated on sucrose density gradients. In the pmr1 mutant we found a decrease in activity of the P-type ATPase and of ATP-dependent, protonophore-insensitive Ca2+ transport in light membranes, that comigrate with the Golgi marker GDPase. We conclude that the product of the PMR1 gene (Pmr1p) is indeed a Ca(2+)-ATPase of the Golgi and Golgi-like membranes. Surprisingly, the pmr1 null mutation abolished Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in Golgi and/or Golgi-like membranes only to 50% under conditions where they are separated from vacuolar membranes. This indicates that an additional Ca(2+)-ATPase is localized in Golgi and/or Golgi-like membranes. Moreover, a third Ca(2+)-ATPase is found in the ER and ER-like membranes. The data are consistent with the assumption that these Ca(2+)-ATPases are encoded by gene(s) different from PMR1. Disruption of PMR1 Ca(2+)-ATPase causes significant redistribution of enzyme activities and of total protein in compartments of the secretory pathway. A decrease in activity is observed for three integral membrane proteins: NADPH cytochrome c reductase, dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase, and Ca(2+)-ATPase, and also for total protein in Golgi, Golgi-like compartments and in vacuoles, whereas a corresponding increase of these activities is observed in endoplasmic reticulum and endoplasmic reticulum-like membranes. We assume that Ca(2+)-ATPases and sufficient Ca2+ gradients across the organellar membranes are important for the correct sorting of proteins to the various compartments of the secretory apparatus.

Abstract
When unfolded proteins are accumulated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an intracellular signaling pathway termed the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated to induce transcription of ER-localized molecular chaperones and folding enzymes in the nucleus. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, at least six lumenal proteins including essential Kar2p and Pdi1p are known to be regulated by the UPR. We and others recently demonstrated that the basic-leucine zipper protein Hac1p/Ern4p functions as a trans-acting factor responsible for the UPR. Hac1p binds directly to the cis-acting unfolded protein response element (UPRE) responsible for Kar2p induction. Moreover, we showed that the KAR2 UPRE contains an E box-like palindrome separated by one nucleotide (CAGCGTG) that is essential for its function. We report here that the promoter regions of each of five target proteins (Kar2p, Pdi1p, Eug1p, Fkb2p, and Lhs1p) contain a single UPRE sequence that is necessary and sufficient for induction and that binds specifically to Hac1p in vitro. All of the five functional UPRE sequences identified contain a palindromic sequence that has, in four cases, a spacer of one C nucleotide. This unique characteristic of UPRE explains why only a specific set of proteins are induced in the UPR to cope with ER stress.

Abstract
An intracellular signaling from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the nucleus, called the unfolded protein response (UPR), is activated when unfolded proteins are accumulated in the ER under a variety of stress conditions ("ER stress"). We and others recently identified Hac1p/Ern4p as a transcription factor responsible for the UPR in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It was further reported that Hac1p (238 aa) is detected only in ER-stressed cells, and its expression is mediated by unconventional splicing of HAC1 precursor mRNA. The splicing replaces the C-terminal portion of Hac1p; it was proposed that precursor mRNA is also translated but the putative product of 230 aa is rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. We have identified and characterized the same regulated splicing and confirmed its essential features. Contrary to the above proposal, however, we find that the 238-aa product of mature mRNA and the 230-aa-type protein tested are highly unstable with little of no difference in stability. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the absence of Hac1p in unstressed cells is due to the lack of translation of precursor mRNA. We conclude that Hac1p is synthesized as the result of ER stress-induced mRNA splicing, leading to activation of the UPR.

Abstract
PMR1, a P-type ATPase cloned from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was previously localized to the Golgi, and shown to be required for normal secretory processes (Antebi, A., and Fink, G.R. (1992) Mol. Biol. Cell 3, 633-654). We provide biochemical evidence that PMR1 is a Ca2+-transporting ATPase in the Golgi, a hitherto unusual location for a Ca2+ pump. As a starting point for structure-function analysis using a mutagenic approach, we used the strong and inducible heat shock promoter to direct high level expression of PMR1 from a multicopy plasmid. Yeast lysates were separated on sucrose density gradients, and fractions assayed for organellar markers. PMR1 is found in fractions containing the Golgi marker guanosine diphosphatase, and is associated with an ATP-dependent, protonophore-insensitive 45Ca2+ uptake activity. This activity is virtually abolished in the absence of the expression plasmid. Furthermore, replacement of the active site aspartate within the phosphorylation domain had the expected effect of abolishing Ca2+ transport activity entirely. Interestingly, the mutant enzymes (Asp-371 --> Glu and Asp-371 --> Asn) demonstrated proper targeting to the Golgi, unlike analogous mutations in the related yeast H+-ATPase. Detailed characterization of calcium transport by PMR1 showed that sensitivity to inhibitors (vanadate, thapsigargin, and cyclopiazonic acid) and affinity for substrates (MgATP and Ca2+) were different from the previously characterized sarco/endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases. PMR1 therefore represents a new and distinct P-type Ca2+-ATPase. Because close homologs of PMR1 have been cloned from rat and other organisms, we suggest that Ca2+-ATPases in the Golgi will form a discrete subgroup that are important for functioning of the secretory pathway.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence are presented to show that the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of total yeast membranes is due to the reticulum (R) type of Ca(2+)-ATPase: (1) Neither calmodulin nor low concentrations of calmodulin antagonists change Ca2+ uptake; (2) removal of plasma membranes (PM) following Con A treatment of spheroplasts (SP) does not significantly alter Ca2+ uptake by the remaining membranes, but increases its specific activity 3.5-fold; (3) after incubation of membranes with [gamma-32P]ATP, SDS-PAGE shows the formation of acyl phosphate intermediates with molecular masses of around 100, 180-190 and 205 kDa; formation of these acyl phosphates requires Ca2+ and is blocked by cyclopiazonic acid, La3+ ions and in the absence of Ca2+. The data on fractionation of yeast membranes are consistent with the suggestion that both the ER and the Golgi are equipped with Ca(2+)-ATPase(s).

Abstract
The major Euglena thylakoid protein, the light harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein of photosystem II (pLHCPII) is synthesized in the cytoplasm as a polyprotein precursor composed of a 141 amino acid presequence containing a signal peptide domain followed by eight mature LHCPIIs covalently linked by a decapeptide. To determine the transport route from cytoplasm to chloroplast and the site of polyprotein processing, Euglena was pulse labeled with [35S]sulfate, organelles separated on sucrose gradients, and pLHCPII and LHCPII immunoprecipitated and separated on SDS gels. After a 10-min pulse, the pLHCPII polyprotein was found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. LHCPII was undetectable after a 10-min pulse consistent with the 20-min half-life for pLHCPII processing. When pulse-labeled cells were chased for 20 or 40 min with unlabeled sulfate, the fraction of pLHCPII in the ER decreased, and the fraction in the Golgi apparatus increased. LHCPII appeared only in thylakoids and chloroplasts, never in the ER or Golgi apparatus. Na2CO3 extraction, a treatment that releases soluble but not integral membrane proteins, did not remove pLHCPII from ER and Golgi membranes. Trypsin digestion of ER and Golgi membranes produced 4 pLHCPII membrane protected fragments. The Euglena pLHCPII polyprotein is transported as an integral membrane protein from the ER to the Golgi apparatus and from the Golgi apparatus to the chloroplast. Polyprotein processing appears to occur during or soon after chloroplast import of the membrane-bound precursor.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae PGM1 and PGM2 genes encoding two phosphoglucomutase isoenzymes have been isolated and sequenced. The derived protein sequences are closely related to one another and show distinct sequence similarities to the human and rabbit phosphoglucomutases, especially in the region supposed to constitute the active site. PGM1 and PGM2 are located on chromosomes XI and XIII, respectively, just upstream of the known genes YPK1 and YKR2 coding for a pair of closely related putative protein kinases. These observations suggest that an extended region of DNA arose by the process of gene duplication. Cells deleted for both, PGM1 and PGM2, could not grow on galactose. No residual phosphoglucomutase activity could be measured in crude extracts or in permeabilized cells of pgm1/2 double mutants. Unexpectedly, growth with glucose was not impaired and the mutant cells were still able to accumulate trehalose and glycogen, although at a reduced level. Two further genes could be isolated and characterized which when over-expressed on a multi-copy plasmid could restore growth on galactose of the pgm1/2 double deletion mutant. Multi-copy complementation was due to a sharply increased level of phosphoglucomutase activity. Partial sequencing and characterization of the two genes revealed one of them to be SEC53 encoding phosphomannomutase. No extended sequence similarities could be found in the databases for the second gene. However, part of the derived amino acid sequence contained a region of high similarity to the active-site consensus sequence of hexosephosphate mutases from different organism. Further investigations suggest that a complex network of mutases exist in yeast which interact and can partially substitute for each other.

Abstract
The fate of a mutant form of each of the two yeast vacuolar enzymes proteinase yscA (PrA) and carboxypeptidase yscY (CPY) has been investigated. Both mutant proteins are rapidly degraded after entering the secretory pathway. Mutant PrA is deleted in 37 amino acids spanning the processing site region of the PrA pro-peptide. The mutant enzyme shows no activity towards maturation of itself or other vacuolar hydrolases, a function of wild-type PrA. Mutant CPY carries an Arg instead of a Gly residue in a highly conserved region, two positions distant from the active-site Ser. In contrast to wild-type CPY, the mutant form was quickly degraded by trypsin in vitro, indicating an altered structure. Using antisera specific for alpha-1-->6 and alpha-1-->3 outer-chain mannose linkages, no Golgi-specific carbohydrate modification could be detected on either mutant protein. Subcellular fractionation studies located both mutant enzymes in the endoplasmic reticulum. Degradation kinetics of both proteins show the same characteristics, indicating similar degradation pathways. The degradation process was shown to be independent of a functional sec18 gene product and takes place before Golgi-specific carbohydrate modifications occur. The proteasome, the major proteolytic activity of the cytoplasm, is not involved in this degradation event. All degradation characteristics of the two mutant proteins are consistent with a degradation process within the endoplasmic reticulum ('ER degradation').

Abstract
In addition to exoglucanases (EXGs) I and II, old cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae secreted into the culture medium a new immunologically-related material that exhibited exoglucanase activity. The new exoglucanase (EXGII1/2) was purified from stationary-phase cultures. It turned out to be a glycoprotein whose protein portion was identical to that of the other two isoenzymes in terms of ionic properties, size, amino acid composition and NH2-terminal sequence (25 residues). Disruption of the structural gene encoding EXGs I and II resulted in a strain unable to secrete all three isoenzymes. EXGII1/2 was indistinguishable in terms of molecular weight from the single intermediate detected during the deglycosylation (mediated by endo H) of EXGII by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Thus, the new isoenzyme contains only one of the two slightly elongated mannan inner cores present in enzyme II. Two intermediates were, however, detected when the deglycosylation of EXGII was monitored by ion-exchange chromatography (high-pressure liquid chromatography). Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that the major intermediate, which eluted at about the same position as enzyme II1/2, corresponded to protein molecules carrying the oligosaccharide attached to the Asn of the second sequon, whereas the minor one carried the oligosaccharide in the first potential glycosylation site. Several lines of evidence indicate that EXGII1/2 is a biosynthetic product resulting from an imbalance between the rate of protein synthesis and the glycosylation capabilities of the glycosylation machinery.

Abstract
A genetic analysis of secretory pathway function in yeast was initiated some 12 years ago in the laboratory of Randy Schekman. These mutants held great promise in terms of providing an experimental system with which molecular participants of secretory pathway function could be investigated. This early promise has not failed. For the last five years, analysis of yeast secretory pathway function has been at the cutting edge of our understanding of the mechanisms by which proteins travel between intracellular compartments. In some cases, Sacch. cerevisiae has provided a valuable in vivo corroboration of the concepts derived from biochemical studies of mammalian intercompartmental protein transport in vitro. In other cases, studies conducted in the yeast system have defined previously unanticipated involvements for known catalytic activities in the secretory process. It is clear that yeast will continue to play a major role in setting the pace of research directed towards a detailed molecular understanding of protein secretion. Since it is now apparent that the basic strategies that underlie secretory pathway function have been conserved among eukaryotes, further exploitation of the powerful and complementary yeast and mammalian experimental systems guarantees that the next decade will see even greater progress towards our understanding of protein secretion in eukaryotic cells than did the first.

Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been shown to contain a major 125-kDa membrane glycoprotein which is anchored in the lipid bilayer by a glycophosphatidylinositol anchor. This protein was purified to near homogeneity and was used to raise a rabbit antibody. Biosynthesis of the 125-kDa protein was studied by immunoprecipitation of 35SO4-labeled material from wild-type cells or a secretion mutant (sec18) in which the vesicular traffic from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi is blocked. The 125-kDa protein is first made in the ER as a 105-kDa precursor which already contains a glycophosphatidylinositol anchor and which is slowly transformed into the 125-kDa form upon chase (t1/2 approximately 10-15 min). The 105-kDa precursor can be reduced to an 83-kDa form by the enzymatic removal of N-glycans. The removal of N-glycans from the mature 125-kDa protein yields a 95-kDa species. Thus, removal of the N-glycans does not reduce the ER and mature forms to the same molecular mass, indicating that not only elongation of N-glycans but also another post-translational modification takes place during maturation. Selective tagging of surface proteins by treatment of 35SO4-labeled cells with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid at 0 C followed by immunoprecipitation of the tagged proteins shows that the 125-kDa protein, but not the 105-kDa precursor, becomes transported to the cell surface. This tagging of cells after various lengths of chase also shows that the surface appearance of the protein is biphasic with about one half of the mature 125-kDa protein remaining intracellular for over 2 h. Glycosylation and/or glycophosphatidylinositol anchor addition is important for the stability of the 125-kDa protein since the protein remains undetectable in sec53, a temperature-sensitive mutant which does not make GDP-mannose at 37 C and does not add glycophosphatidylinositol anchors at 37 degrees C.

Abstract
The secretory pathway of mammalian cells involves a complex sequence of steps beginning with the translation and translocation of proteins across the rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane followed by their transport through a variety of intracellular compartments. Understanding the cellular mechanisms involved in protein transport would be facilitated by the application of somatic cell genetics techniques. Therefore, we have developed a procedure for the isolation of Chinese hamster ovary cell lines that are deficient in this pathway. Mutant (sec) clones that secrete into the medium a lesser amount of newly synthesized protein relative to wild type are detected in the screen. One of the sec cell lines, LEH6, has similar growth and protein synthetic rates as do wild-type cells. The extent of total protein secretion is 60-70% of wild-type with some proteins more reduced than others. Immunoprecipitation studies indicate that for LEH6 cells there is impaired secretion of fibronectin (three- to fourfold) and major excreted protein (two- to sixfold).

Abstract
The following putative precursors of the pseudomurein were isolated from trichloroacetic acid extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum: a uridine diphosphate activated derivative of glutamic acid and the uridine diphosphate activated peptides (see text). The activated glutamic acid residue and the three activated pepetides lack the glycan components N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid present in the intact pseudomurein. In this case uridine diphosphate should be directly linked to the amino group of a glutamic acid residue, which represents a new mode of amino acid and peptide activation.

The predicted KAR2 protein sequence is most homologous to mammalian BiP/GRP78 and has several structural features in common with it: a functional secretory signal sequence, a yeast endoplasmic reticulum retention signal (HDEL) at the carboxyl terminus, and the absence of potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Moreover KAR2 is regulated like BiP/GRP78: the level of mRNA is increased by drug treatments and mutations that cause accumulation of secretory precursors in the endoplasmic reticulum. However, unlike BiP/GRP78, KAR2 is also regulated by heat shock. Deletion of the KAR2 gene generated a recessive lethal mutation, showing that BiP/GRP78 function is required for cell viability.

Abstract
The enzyme GDP mannose:dolichyl-phosphate O-beta-D-mannosyltransferase (GDP-Man:DolP mannosyltransferase) catalyzing the reaction: GDP-man + DolP in equilibrium DolP-Man + GDP has been purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to homogeneity. The purification was achieved using a combination of column chromatographic methods with preparative gel electrophoresis. The enzyme has an apparent molecular mass of 30 kDa on SDS/polyacrylamide gels. Enzymatic activity could be correlated directly with this band. Antibodies against the transferase were raised in rabbits. The immune serum obtained removed enzymatic activity from a detergent extract of yeast membranes and reacted specifically with the 30-kDa band on immunoblots. Experiments addressing the orientation of this enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane are presented by using selective trypsin and N-ethylmaleimide treatment.

Abstract
We demonstrate here the in vitro translocation of yeast acid phosphatase into rough endoplasmic reticulum. The precursor of the repressible acid phosphatase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae encoded by the PHO5 gene, was synthesized in a yeast lysate programmed with in vitro transcribed PHO5 mRNA. In the presence of yeast rough microsomes up to 16% of the acid phosphatase synthesized was found to be translocated into the microsomes, as judged by proteinase resistance, and fully core-glycosylated. The translocation efficiency however, decreased to 3% if yeast rough microsomes were added after synthesis of acid phosphatase had been terminated. When a wheat-germ extract was used for in vitro synthesis, the precursor of acid phosphatase was translocated into canine pancreatic rough microsomes and thereby core-glycosylated in a signal-recognition-particle-dependent manner. Replacing canine with yeast rough microsomes in the wheat-germ translation system, however, resulted in a significant decrease in the ability to translocate and glycosylate the precursor. Translocation and glycosylation were partially restored by a high-salt extract prepared from yeast ribosomes. The results presented here suggest that yeast-specific factors are needed to translocate and glycosylate acid phosphatase efficiently in vitro.

Abstract
We examined folding and secretion of human lysozyme using four mutants each lacking two cysteines expressed in a yeast secretion system. Our results have revealed that the formation of the disulfide bond Cys6/Cys128 in human lysozyme is a prerequisite for correct folding in vivo in yeast. Substitution of Ala for Cys77 and Cys95 gave eight-fold greater secretion of a molecule with almost the same specific activity as that of the native enzyme. Substitutions of the other cysteines gave molecules that were secreted at a lower rate and had lower specific activities than the native enzyme. These are the first findings that the individual disulfide bonds of human lysozyme have different functions in folding and secretion in vivo.
