Abstract
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a widespread signal transduction pathway triggered by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Because calcium (Ca2+) is a key factor in the maintenance of ER homeostasis, massive Ca2+ depletion of the ER is a potent inducer of ER stress. Although moderate changes in ER Ca2+ drive the ubiquitous Ca2+ signaling pathways, a possible incremental relationship between UPR activation and Ca2+ changes has yet to be described. Here, we determine the sensitivity and time-dependency of activation of the three ER stress sensors, inositol-requiring protein 1 alpha (IRE1α), protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK), and activating transcription factor 6 alpha (ATF6α) in response to controlled changes in the concentration of ER Ca2+ in human cultured cells. Combining Ca2+ imaging, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching experiments, biochemical analyses, and mathematical modeling, we uncover a nonlinear rate of activation of the IRE1α branch of UPR, as compared to the PERK and ATF6α branches that become activated gradually with time and are sensitive to more important ER Ca2+ depletions. However, the three arms are all activated within a 1 h timescale. The model predicted the deactivation of PERK and IRE1α upon refilling the ER with Ca2+. Accordingly, we showed that ER Ca2+ replenishment leads to the complete reversion of IRE1α and PERK phosphorylation in less than 15 min, thus revealing the highly plastic character of the activation of the upstream UPR sensors. In conclusion, our results reveal a dynamic and dose-sensitive Ca2+-dependent activation/deactivation cycle of UPR induction, which could tightly control cell fate upon acute and/or chronic stress.

Abstract
Biologics represent the fastest growing group of therapeutics, but many advanced recombinant protein moieties remain difficult to produce. Here, we identify metabolic engineering targets limiting expression of recombinant human proteins through a systems biology analysis of the transcriptomes of CHO and HEK293 during recombinant expression. In an expression comparison of 24 difficult to express proteins, one third of the challenging human proteins displayed improved secretion upon host cell swapping from CHO to HEK293. Guided by a comprehensive transcriptomics comparison between cell lines, especially highlighting differences in secretory pathway utilization, a co-expression screening of 21 secretory pathway components validated ATF4, SRP9, JUN, PDIA3 and HSPA8 as productivity boosters in CHO. Moreover, more heavily glycosylated products benefitted more from the elevated activities of the N- and O-glycosyltransferases found in HEK293. Collectively, our results demonstrate the utilization of HEK293 for expression rescue of human proteins and suggest a methodology for identification of secretory pathway components for metabolic engineering of HEK293 and CHO.

I-152, a supplier of N-acetyl-cysteine and cysteamine, inhibits immunoglobulin secretion and plasma cell maturation in LP-BM5 murine leukemia retrovirus-infected mice by affecting the unfolded protein response.

Abstract
Excessive production of immunoglobulins (Ig) causes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR). Hypergammaglobulinemia and lymphadenopathy are hallmarks of murine AIDS that develops in mice infected with the LP-BM5 murine leukemia retrovirus complex. In these mice, Th2 polarization and aberrant humoral response have been previously correlated to altered intracellular redox homeostasis. Our goal was to understand the role of the cell's redox state in Ig secretion and plasma cell (PC) maturation. To this aim, LP-BM5-infected mice were treated with I-152, an N-acetyl-cysteine and cysteamine supplier. Intraperitoneal I-152 administration (30 μmol/mouse three times a week for 9 weeks) decreased plasma IgG and increased IgG/Syndecan 1 ratio in the lymph nodes where IgG were in part accumulated within the ER. PC containing cytoplasmic inclusions filled with IgG were present in all animals, with fewer mature PC in those treated with I-152. Infection induced up-regulation of signaling molecules involved in the UPR, i.e. CHAC1, BiP, sXBP-1 and PDI, that were generally unaffected by I-152 treatment except for PDI and sXBP-1, which have a key role in protein folding and PC maturation, respectively. Our data suggest that one of the mechanisms through which I-152 can limit hypergammaglobulinemia in LP-BM5-infected mice is by influencing IgG folding/assembly as well as secretion and affecting PC maturation.

Abstract
CONCLUSIONS The BEVS has become widely utilized for production of recombinant proteins. However, protein aggregation and inefficient processing often limit yields, especially for secreted and membrane proteins. Since many proteins of pharmaceutical interest require similar posttranslational processing steps, engineering the folding, assembly, and secretion pathway may enhance the production of a wide variety of valuable complex proteins. Efforts should be undertaken to coexpress the relevant chaperones or foldases at low levels in concert with the final product to ensure the ideal folding and assembly environment. In the future, expression of oligosaccharide modifying enzymes and secretion factors may further improve secretion rates of assembled proteins and provide heterologous proteins with altered glycoforms. Also significant is the use of BEVS as an in vivo eucaryotic laboratory to study the fundamental roles of differnt chaperones, foldases, and secretion factors. The coexpression of chaperones and foldases will complement other approaches such as the development of alternative insect cell lines, promoters, and signal peptides to optimize the baculovirus-insect cell expression system for generating high yields of valuable proteins.

Abstract
The cell catalysts calnexin (CNX) and protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) cooperate in establishing the disulfide bonding of the HIV envelope (Env) glycoprotein. Following HIV binding to lymphocytes, cell-surface PDI also reduces Env to induce the fusogenic conformation. We sought to define the contact points between Env and these catalysts to illustrate their potential as therapeutic targets. In lysates of Env-expressing cells, 15% of the gp160 precursor, but not gp120, coprecipitated with CNX, whereas only 0.25% of gp160 and gp120 coprecipitated with PDI. Under in vitro conditions, which mimic the Env/PDI interaction during virus/cell contact, PDI readily associated with Env. The domains of Env interacting in cellulo with CNX or in vitro with PDI were then determined using anti-Env antibodies whose binding site was occluded by CNX or PDI. Antibodies against domains V1/V2, C2, and the C terminus of V3 did not bind CNX-associated Env, whereas those against C1, V1/V2, and the CD4-binding domain did not react with PDI-associated Env. In addition, a mixture of the latter antibodies interfered with PDI-mediated Env reduction. Thus, Env interacts with intracellular CNX and extracellular PDI via discrete, largely nonoverlapping, regions. The sites of interaction explain the mode of action of compounds that target these two catalysts and may enable the design of further new competitive agents.

Abstract
Disulfide bond formation is probably involved in the biogenesis of approximately one third of human proteins. A central player in this essential process is protein disulfide isomerase or PDI. PDI was the first protein-folding catalyst reported. However, despite more than four decades of study, we still do not understand much about its physiological mechanisms of action. This review examines the published literature with a critical eye. This review aims to (a) provide background on the chemistry of disulfide bond formation and rearrangement, including the concept of reduction potential, before examining the structure of PDI; (b) detail the thiol-disulfide exchange reactions that are catalyzed by PDI in vitro, including a critical examination of the assays used to determine them; (c) examine oxidation and reduction of PDI in vivo, including not only the role of ERo1 but also an extensive assessment of the role of glutathione, as well as other systems, such as peroxide, dehydroascorbate, and a discussion of vitamin K-based systems; (d) consider the in vivo reactions of PDI and the determination and implications of the redox state of PDI in vivo; and (e) discuss other human and yeast PDI-family members.

Abstract
Plasma cells can synthesize and secrete thousands of Ig molecules per second, which are folded and assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are likely to place unusually high demands on the resident chaperones and folding enzymes. We have discovered a new resident ER protein (pERp1) that is a component of the BiP chaperone complex. PERp1 is substantially up-regulated during B to plasma cell differentiation and can be induced in B cell lines by some UPR activators, arguing that it represents a potentially new class of conditional UPR targets. In LPS-stimulated murine splenocytes, pERp1 interacted covalently via a disulfide bond with IgM monomers and noncovalently with other Ig assembly intermediates. Knockdown and overexpression experiments revealed that pERp1 promoted correct oxidative folding of Ig heavy chains and prevented off-pathway assembly intermediates. Although pERp1 has no homology with known chaperones or folding enzymes, it possesses a thioredoxin-like active site motif (CXXC), which is the signature of oxidoreductases. Mutation of this sequence did not affect its in vivo activity, suggesting that pERp1 is either a unique type of oxidoreductase or a previously unidentified class of molecular chaperone that is dedicated to enhancing the oxidative folding of Ig precursors.

Abstract
Previous work has shown that a human-antibody-producing recombinant CHO cell line did not increase its intracellular content of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and heavy chain binding protein (BIP) according to the increasing expression of antibody. It was also found that the intracellular assembly of light and heavy chain is a major limiting factor for overall cell specific productivity, as secretion rates improve with higher light chain expression levels and heavy chain accumulates intracellularly when too little light chain is present. As these CHO cells had a significantly lower intracellular PDI content compared to that of hybridoma cells, these results have led us to try to overcome the limitation in the posttranslational assembly in the endoplasmatic reticulum. Recombinant CHO cells were transfected with PDI or BIP alone or in combination, and the effect on intracellular light and heavy chain content and specific production rate was determined. Overexpression of BIP, both alone and in combination with PDI, reduced the specific secretion rate, whereas PDI, when overexpressed alone, caused an increase of product secretion rate.

Abstract
A mechanism for heavy chain binding protein (BiP)- and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)- mediated protein folding and assembly has been proposed. It considers BiP chaperoning action and PDI catalytic activity. A kinetic model has been developed based on the proposed mechanism. The model was used for quantifying the influence of polypeptide concentration and ratio, and the effect of BiP and PDI concentration on the kinetics of folding and assembly. An optimum value for polypeptide concentration that minimizes assembly times was found, and different kinetic behaviors were identified for polypeptide concentrations higher or lower than the optimum. Pulse-chase experiments and the dependence of assembly time on unassembled polypeptides ratio predicted by the model are similar to those found during in vitro and in vivo folding and assembly of antibodies and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), as well as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) folding. The model also explains the increase in folding and assembly rates during overexpression of BiP and PDI.

Abstract
When subjected to hyperosmotic pressure resulting from NaCl addition, KR12H-2 transfectoma, like most hybridomas, displayed a decrease in specific growth rate (mu) and an increase in specific antibody productivity (q(Ab)). Elevation of medium osmolality from 285 to 425 mOsm/kg decreased mu by 20%, while it increased q(Ab) by 376%. Although cell mass also increased at higher osmolality, it was not the main factor in increasing q(Ab). Hyperosmotic pressure was found to enhance transcription levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) mRNAs preferentially, compared with non-IgG mRNA. The transcription levels of both heavy chain (HC) and light chain (LC) mRNAs were enhanced as much as q(Ab). This result suggests that enhanced q(Ab) at higher osmolality was mainly due to enhanced transcription levels of Ig mRNA. However, these increased transcription levels of Ig mRNAs were not due to the enhanced stability of Ig mRNA. In fact, the stability of Ig mRNAs decreased at higher osmolality. Elevation of osmolality from 285 mOsm/kg to 425 mOsm/kg decreased the half-lives of HC and LC mRNAs by 37% and 36%, respectively. A simple mathematical model revealed that transcription rates of Ig mRNAs increased by more than 476% at 425 mOsm/kg. These elevated transcription levels could, in turn, increase the translation rates of Ig polypeptides. However, the translation rates of Ig polypeptides were not enhanced as much as the transcription levels of Ig mRNAs and q(Ab). The elevation of osmolality from 285 mOsm/kg to 425 mOsm/kg increased HC and LC mRNA specific translation rates by 172% and 240%, respectively. Taken together, the data suggest that (1) enhanced q(Ab) of KR12H-2 transfectoma at higher osmolality is due to elevated transcription rates of Ig mRNAs and expedited post-translational processing of Ig, and (2) antibody secretion by KR12H-2 transfectoma is most likely controlled at the level of Ig translation, particularly HC translation.

Abstract
We isolated and identified a stress protein that is up-regulated in response to hypoxia in primary-cultured glial cells. Protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) was up-regulated not only by hypoxia in glia in vitro, but also by transient forebrain ischemia in rats in vivo. To determine whether newly synthesized PDI is involved in tolerance to ischemic stress, we carried out two procedures to induce PDI gene expression in human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells, as well as intrahippocampal injection following electroporation of an expression vector capable of overexpressing PDI in rats. Overexpression of this gene resulted in attenuation of the loss of cell viability induced by hypoxia in neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells and a reduction in the number of DNA-fragmented cells in the CA1 area of the hippocampus in brain ischemic rats, respectively. These findings suggest that up-regulated PDI may play a critical role in resistance to ischemic damage, and that the elevation of levels of this protein in the brain may have beneficial effects against brain stroke.

Abstract
Insulin degradation is a regulated process that plays a role in controlling insulin action by removing and inactivating the hormone. Abnormalities in insulin clearance and degradation are present in various pathological conditions including type 2 diabetes and obesity and may be important in producing clinical problems. The uptake, processing, and degradation of insulin by cells is a complex process with multiple intracellular pathways. Most evidence supports IDE as the primary degradative mechanism, but other systems (PDI, lysosomes, and other enzymes) undoubtedly contribute to insulin metabolism. Recent studies support a multifunctional role for IDE, as an intracellular binding, regulatory, and degradative protein. IDE increases proteasome and steroid hormone receptor activity, and this activation is reversed by insulin. This raises the possibility of a direct intracellular interaction of insulin with IDE that could modulate protein and fat metabolism. The recent findings would place intracellular insulin-IDE interaction into the insulin signal transduction pathway for mediating the intermediate effects of insulin on fat and protein turnover.

Abstract
Coexpression of the enzyme, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), has been shown to increase soluble and secreted IgG levels from baculovirus-infected insect cells (Hsu, T.-A., Watson, S., Eiden, J. J., and Betenbaugh, M. J. (1996) Protein Expression Purif. 7, 281-288). PDI is known to include catalytic active sites in two separate thioredoxin-like domains, one near the amino terminus and another near the carboxyl terminus. To examine the role of these catalytic active sites in enhancing immunoglobulin solubility, baculovirus constructs were utilized with cysteine to serine mutations at the first cysteine of one or both of the CGHC active site sequences. Trichoplusia ni insect cells were coinfected with a baculovirus vector coding for IgG in concert with either the wild-type human PDI virus, amino-terminal mutant (PDI-N), carboxyl-terminal mutant (PDI-C), or mutant with both active sites altered (PDI-NC). Western blot analysis revealed that both immunoglobulins and PDI protein were expressed in the coinfected cells. To evaluate the effect of the PDI variants on immunoglobulin solubility and secretion, the infected cells were labeled with 35S-amino-acids for different periods, and the soluble immunoglobulins were immunoprecipitated from clarified cell lysates and culture medium using anti-IgG antibodies. Only coinfections with the wild-type PDI and PDI-N mutant led to increased immunoglobulin solubility and higher IgG secretion. In contrast, infection with the PDI-C and PDI-NC variants actually lowered immunoglobulin solubility levels below those achieved with a negative control virus. Immunoprecipitation with anti-PDI antibody revealed that heterologous PDI-C and PDI-NC were insoluble, even though PDI-N and wild-type PDI protein were detected in soluble form. The capacity for PDI-N to increase immunoglobulin solubility whereas the PDI-C mutant lowered solubility indicates that the amino- and carboxyl-terminal thioredoxin domains of PDI are functionally distinct in vivo following mutations to the active site. Furthermore, mutations at the active site of the carboxyl-terminal thioredoxin domain result in PDI variants that can act as anti-chaperones of immunoglobulin solubility in vivo as has been observed in vitro for lysozyme aggregation by wild-type PDI and PDI mutants (Puig, A., and Gilbert, H. F. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 7764-7771).

Abstract
A novel tissue-specific cDNA, PDIp, was previously isolated from human pancreas. It encodes a protein that is structurally and functionally related to protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). To compare the expression pattern of PDI and PDIp in human pancreas and liver tissues, we prepared rabbit polyclonal antiserum against a recombinant glutathione-S-transferase-coupled PDIp fusion protein. Western blot analysis revealed that pancreas expresses both PDI and PDIp, whereas liver only expresses PDI. Rabbit antiserum raised against recombinant PDIp immunostained specifically to the acinar cells of human pancreas. Treatment of PDIp with peptide:N-glycosidase F caused PDIp down shift in the NaDodSO4-PAGE gel, indicating that PDIp is a glycoprotein. A 2.0-kb message was detected from mouse pancreas using a human PDIp cDNA probe. Similarly, PDIp glycoprotein was detected in mouse pancreas extract by anti-human PDIp antiserum, suggesting that PDIp is highly conserved in human and mouse pancreas. From these studies, we conclude that the pancreas expresses two members of PDI and that PDIp is a glycoprotein specifically expressed in pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
The synthesis of complex biological structures such as antibodies using recombinant DNA technology is a major biotechnological advance. Active murine antibody (IgG) oligomers, composed of two heavy (H) and two light (L) polypeptide chains, have been expressed and secreted by the baculovirus-insect cell expression system. Unfortunately, expression of the functional antibodies is accompanied by the formation of abnormal protein complexes and aggregates in which the polypeptide chains are bound together into incorrect associations. The formation of these abnormal complexes or protein aggregates in insect cells may be caused by insufficient intracellular levels of two catalytic proteins, immunoglobulin binding protein (BiP or GRP78), and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Consequently, we obtained the genes coding for murine BiP and PDI and cloned the genes into the baculovirus vector (Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus) to obtain AcBB-BiP and AcBB-PDI. Infection of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf-9) insect cells with these two baculoviruses yielded recombinant proteins of the correct size that were recognized by antibodies to these proteins. Cloning these genes into the baculovirus vector is one approach to engineering the assembly pathway in order to lower aggregation and increase production of functionally active proteins and oligomers.

Abstract
Overexpression of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) from a single chromosomally integrated copy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae results in ten-fold higher levels of secretion of human platelet derived growth factor B homodimer, and a four-fold increase in secretion of Schizosaccharomyces pombe acid phosphatase. This result provides evidence that inefficient protein folding limits the secretion of some heterologous proteins, and that manipulation of the endoplasmic reticulum lumenal environment can help overcome this limitation.

Abstract
Protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) is a unique polypeptide which resides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and also functions as the beta-subunit of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, as a cellular thyroid hormone-binding protein, as the smaller subunit of the microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein complex, as a dehydroascorbate reductase and as a protein that binds various peptides in a specific manner. We have recently demonstrated that the promoter of the PDI gene contains six CCAAT boxes and other elements which are needed for efficient transcription. We now demonstrate that purified human recombinant transcription factor Sp1 interacts with two perfect GGGCGG sequences and three other GC-rich elements of the PDI promoter. Sp1 also appears to participate in the regulation of PDI gene expression, since overexpression of Sp1 stimulated PDI promoter activity in HeLa cells and mutations introduced into each of these Sp1-binding sites separately reduced the promoter strength, although even the largest decrease was only about 50%. These results support our view that expression of the gene for this polypeptide with multiple functions is secured by several regulatory elements, some of which are functionally redundant.

Abstract
We have previously shown that influenza haemagglutinin (HA) acquires Endo H resistance en route to the cell surface after microinjection of its mRNA into Xenopus oocytes (Ceriotti, A. and A. Colman. 1989. J. Cell Biol. 109:1439-1444.) In this paper we use the injection of varying amounts of mRNA (0.05-5 ng/oocyte) to effect a 30-fold change in HA protein synthesis within the oocyte. Using the Endo H assay as an indicator of protein movement from the ER to the medial Golgi we find that this movement is reduced, sometimes dramatically, when intracellular HA levels fall. This reduction in movement is closely correlated with a decreased rate of trimer formation as assessed both by trypsin resistance and sedimentation analysis, leading us to conclude that trimer formation is not only, as has been shown before essential for ER-Golgi complex movement, but is the major rate limiting step in this movement. Interestingly at least 50% of unassembled HA monomers that accumulate after low HA synthesis can be rescued into trimers over 24 h later, after a second injection of concentrated HA mRNA. In contrast when we repeated this experiment with another membrane protein, the human low density lipoprotein, or with murine secretory immunoglobulin we found that the rate of movement was insensitive to the protein concentration. This latter result seemed surprising since earlier work had shown that unassembled IgG heavy chains (like monomeric HA) remain in the oocyte ER; however in these present experiments we have been unable to detect any unassembled heavy chains even at the lowest expression levels, indicating that tetramerization of Ig is much faster than trimerization of HA.

Abstract
The induction of high-rate protein secretion entails increased biogenesis of secretory apparatus organelles. We examined the biogenesis of the secretory apparatus in the B cell line CH12 because it can be induced in vitro to secrete immunoglobulin (Ig). Upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), CH12 cells increased secretion of IgM 12-fold. This induced secretion was accompanied by preferential expansion of the ER and the Golgi complex. Three parameters of the rough ER changed: its area and volume increased 3.3- and 3.7-fold, respectively, and the density of membrane-bound ribosomes increased 3.5-fold. Similarly, the area of the Golgi stack increased 3.3-fold, and its volume increased 4.1-fold. These changes provide sufficient biosynthetic capacity to account for the increased secretory activity of CH12. Despite the large increase in IgM synthesis, and because of the expansion of the ER, the concentration of IgM within the ER changed less than twofold during the differentiation process. During the amplification of the rough ER, the expression of resident proteins changed according to one of two patterns. The majority (75%) of rough microsomal (RM) proteins increased in proportion to the increase in rough ER size. Included in this group were both lumenal proteins such as Ig binding protein (BiP), and membrane proteins such as ribophorins I and II. In addition, the expression of a minority (approximately 9%) of RM polypeptides increased preferentially, such that their abundance within the RM of secreting CH12 cells was increased. Thus, the expansion of ER during CH12 differentiation involves preferential increases in the abundance of a few resident proteins, superimposed upon proportional increases in most ER proteins.

Abstract
B lymphocytes do not secrete IgM, and plasma cells only secrete IgM polymers. Here we show that both events are attributable to the tailpiece found at the carboxyl terminus of mus chains, and we specifically implicate Cys-575. Thus, if Cys-575 was mutated, IgM was secreted by B cells. Similarly, a mutant IgG containing a mus tailpiece became largely retained within the cell; secretion was restored upon mutation of the tailpiece cysteine. Removal of Cys-575 also allowed hypersecretion of monomeric IgM by plasmacytoma cells. Following further removal of Cmu1, heavy chains were secreted in the absence of light chains. Thus, in B and plasma cells, Cys-575 is involved both in the polymerization of IgM and in intracellular retention of unpolymerized intermediates.

Abstract
Protein disulphide-isomerase (PDI) activity, and the level of immunodetectable PDI protein, were monitored in splenic lymphocytes and in BCL1 cells during culture in the presence of various activating factors. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide stimulated induction of PDI in splenic B cells and BCL1 cells. The time-course and specificity of induction indicated that the increase in expression of PDI is closely coupled to the final stages of B cell differentiation into antibody-producing plasma cells. The system will prove valuable in studies on the control of expression of PDI.

Abstract
The formation of native insulin either from scrambled insulin or from the separated A chain and B chain S-sulphonates by protein disulphide-isomerase was demonstrated with yields of 20-30% as measured by h.p.l.c. analysis, receptor binding and stimulation of lipogenesis. The h.p.l.c. profile of the reaction products shows that, among all the possible isomers containing both chains, the native hormone is by far the predominating product and consequently the most stable under certain conditions.

Abstract
N-Benzoyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid hydrolase (PPH) is a metalloendopeptidase found in mucosal epithelial cells of the human small intestine. The purification and characterization of this enzyme was described in the preceding paper (E. E. Sterchi et al. (1988) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 265, 105-118). In this paper, we report on the biosynthesis and posttranslational processing of PPH in organ cultures of human small intestinal mucosa. Continuous labeling for 6 h with L-[35S]methionine, immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibody 3/716/36, and analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a polypeptide with Mr 100,000. This molecule was highly glycosylated as treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F resulted in a reduction to Mr 70,000. This was also the size of the species isolated after culture in the presence of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation. Pulse-chase labeling showed that the first detectable form of PPH had a Mr 90,000 which corresponded to the high-mannose precursor as assessed by its sensitivity to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. Within 15 min of chase and prior to complex glycosylation, dimerization due to the formation of interchain disulfide bonds occurred (Mr 180,000). Dimerization thus took place within the rough endoplasmic reticulum and might play an important role in the transport through to the cell surface. After 2 h of chase, PPH started to appear in the culture medium, indicating that the enzyme was secreted from the cells, a finding not observed with other microvillus membrane hydrolases.

Abstract
The rhoptry is an organelle of the malarial merozoite which has been suggested to play a role in parasite invasion of its host cell, the erythrocyte. A monoclonal antibody selected for reactivity with this organelle identifies a parasite synthesized protein of 110 kD. From biosynthetic labeling experiments it was demonstrated that the protein is synthesized midway through the erythrocytic cycle (the trophozoite stage) but immunofluorescence indicates the protein is not localized in the organelle until the final stage (segmenter stage) of intraerythrocytic development. Immunoelectron microscopy shows that the protein is localized in the matrix of the rhoptry organelle and on membranous whorls secreted from the merozoite. mAb recognition of the protein is dithiothreitol (DTT) labile, indicating that the conformation of the epitope is dependent on a disulfide linkage. During erythrocyte reinvasion by the extracellular merozoite, immunofluorescence shows the rhoptry protein discharging from the merozoite and spreading around the surface of the erythrocyte. The protein is located in the plasma membrane of the newly invaded erythrocyte. These studies suggest that the 110-kD rhoptry protein is inserted into the membrane of the host erythrocyte during merozoite invasion.

Abstract
The three polypeptide chains of fibrinogen, A alpha, B beta and gamma chain, are synthesized on separate polysomes. Fully formed fibrinogen is a six chain, disulfide-linked, dimeric molecule with a molecular weight of 340kDa. Previous pulse-chase studies with L-35 S methionine using the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, Hep-G2, showed that the three chains are not immediately disulfide-linked and that there exist intermediate precursors as well as pools of A alpha and gamma chains (J. Biol. Chem. 259, 10574-10581, 1984). In this study the endogenous levels of fibrinogen and its precursors are measured by two different methods; pulse and steady-state labelling with L-35 S-methionine and immunoblotting. In Hep-G2 cells intracellular fibrinogen-related antigen is primarily (30-53%) composed of an A alpha-gamma complex and, to a smaller degree, of fully-formed fibrinogen (13-33%). Furthermore, the Hep G2 cell also contains endogenous pools of free gamma chain (11-26%). Other fibrinogen precursors (namely, the B beta-A alpha, B beta-gamma complexes as well as the fibrinogen half-molecule) do not appear to accumulate intracellularly. Most, if not all, of these precursors occur as isoforms but this heterogeneity is not due to varying degrees of glycosylation. In all the intracellular fibrinogen forms identified thus far, free sulfhydryl groups, detected by 14C-iodoacetamide incorporation, occur only in the A alpha-gamma complex and the free gamma chains.

Abstract
1. The distribution of thiol:protein-disulphide oxidoreductase (disulphide interchange enzyme) in 17 bovine tissue extracts was determined by rocket immunoelectrophoresis and by measuring the reductive cleavage of insulin. 2. The relative concentration (per mg total protein) was found to be in the order: Pancreas greater than liver greater than lymph node greater than testes, fat tissue greater than parotid gland, brain, spleen, lung greater than small intestine, spinal cord, large intestine, kidney greater than paunch, aorta greater than skeletal muscle greater than heart. 3. The distribution of specific activity showed a similar pattern, irrespectively of whether glutathione or L-cysteine was used as cosubstrate. 4. The concentration varied 200-fold and the specific activity 400-fold between pancreas and heart muscle, respectively. 5. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis demonstrated that a fast-migrating form of the enzyme was the only one present in almost all tissues, but 15% of the enzyme in liver was a slow-migrating form and 50% in heart muscle a medium-migrating form. 6. The lung contains a species having partial immunological identity to the enzyme. 7. Purified enzyme from bovine liver has a somewhat lower mobility than the fast-migrating form in extract. 8. The results seem to support the general view that the enzyme is involved in synthesis of disulphide-bonded extracellular proteins, although the presence of the enzyme in tissues like fat, brain, spinal cord, skeletal muscle and heart indicates other cellular functions as well.

Abstract
The synthesis and accumulation of Chlamydia trachomatis outer membrane proteins within infected HeLa 229 host cells were monitored by assessing the uptake of [35S]cysteine into chlamydial proteins during the 48-h growth cycle of a lymphogranuloma venereum strain, L2/434/Bu. Synthesis of the major outer membrane protein, a protein that accounts for about 60% of the outer membrane protein mass of elementary bodies (EB), was first detected between 12 and 18 h after infection. The uptake of [35S]cysteine into the 60,000-molecular-weight doublet (60K doublet) and 12.5K cysteine-rich proteins was not observed until 30 h after infection, when the intracellularly dividing reticulate bodies were beginning to transform into infectious EBs. By using a more sensitive immunoblotting method in conjunction with monoclonal antibodies specific for the 60K doublet proteins, synthesis of these proteins was detected even earlier, by 18 h after infection. These data suggest that the time and extent of synthesis of these outer membrane proteins are regulated by processes that coincide in time with the transformation of reticulate bodies into EBs. Additional studies were performed to determine the extent of disulfide cross-linking of outer membrane proteins during the growth cycle. Both the major outer membrane protein and the 12.5K protein became progressively cross-linked to about 60% during the last 24 h of the growth cycle, whereas the 60K doublet proteins were extensively cross-linked during most of the cycle. These data may indicate an intracellular cross-linking mechanism, possibly enzymatic, that exists in addition to an auto-oxidation mechanism that occurs upon host cell lysis and exposure to the extracellular environment.

Abstract
Using ts045, a temperature sensitive strain of Vesicular stomatitis virus, we show that oligomerization of G protein is a prerequisite for its transport from RER to the Golgi apparatus and for its subsequent maturation. While wild-type G forms an oligomer in the RER, ts045 G synthesized at the nonpermissive temperature does not. When the permissive temperature is reinstated, ts045 G forms an oligomer and moves to the Golgi. The state of oligomerization was determined by chemical cross-linking and by the ability of a microinjected monoclonal antibody specific for the carboxy-terminal five amino acids of the cytoplasmic tail of G to cause patching of G in intracellular membranes. We conclude that formation of an oligomer of G protein, probably a trimer, is necessary for G protein maturation.

Abstract
The in vivo function of the thiol-proteindisulfide oxidoreductase (TPO, EC 1.8.4.2; proteindisulfide isomerase, EC 5.3.4.1) in biosynthesis of immunoglobulin was investigated by studying the enzyme content in human lymphoid and other cells by an immunocytochemical method. In contrast to peripheral blood, B lymphocytes which showed no or no demonstrable TPO, normal as well as malignant bone marrow plasma cells (all Ig classes) were found to contain abundant amounts of this enzyme. TPO containing plasma cells were identified by double-staining techniques. This finding suggests that TPO is involved in the terminal step of B cell differentiation and immunoglobulin biosynthesis. Besides plasma cells, approximately 10% of mononuclear marrow cells as yet unidentified medium-sized and large cells, exhibited also strong anti-TPO reactivity. Furthermore, using surface-cytoplasmic double staining methods, monocytes from human peripheral blood could be identified to represent the only cytoplasmic TPO-containing normal mononuclear blood cells.

Abstract
A thiol: protein disulfide oxidoreductase from bovine liver was isolated after separation from protein disulfide isomerase. The enzyme, after activation (reduction) with glutathione, was reacted with stoichiometric amounts of insulin and the sulfhydryl groups of the partially reduced hormone were labeled with iodo (l-14C)acetamide. After separation of the insulin chains, the radioactivity was found in both the peptides, with a ratio A-chain/B-chain equal to 2/1.

Abstract
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been extracted from yeast cells that produce HBsAg. These cells contain the gene for surface antigen carried on a plasmid that replicates in the cells. Analysis of the yeast-derived HBsAg by sucrose gradient centrifugation and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis shows that the antigen that is initially released from yeast cells is a high molecular weight aggregate of the fundamental Mr 25,000 subunit. Unlike HBsAg derived from human plasma, the yeast antigen is held together by noncovalent interactions and can be dissociated in 2% NaDodSO4 without the use of reducing agents. During in vitro purification of the yeast antigen, some disulfide bonds form spontaneously between the antigen subunits, resulting in a particle composed of a mixture of monomers and disulfide-bonded dimers. Treatment with 3 M thiocyanate converts the 20-nm particles into a fully disulfide-bonded form that is not disrupted in NaDodSO4 unless a reducing agent is added. This disulfide-bonded particle resembles the naturally occurring, plasma-derived surface antigen particle, and the in vitro formed particle has been used to prepare a vaccine for humans against hepatitis B virus infection.
