-Lactamase in the Yeast Cytoplasm before
Translocation into the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, 00014 Helsinki,
Finland
Polypeptides targeted to the yeast endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
posttranslationally are thought to be kept in the cytoplasm in an
unfolded state by Hsp70 chaperones before translocation. We show here
that Escherichia coli
-lactamase associated with Hsp70, but adopted a native-like conformation before translocation in
living Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells.
-Lactamase is
a globular trypsin-resistant molecule in authentic form. For these
studies, it was linked to the C terminus of a yeast polypeptide
Hsp150
, which conferred posttranslational translocation and provided
sites for O-glycosylation. We devised conditions to
retard translocation of Hsp150
-
-lactamase. This enabled us to
show by protease protection assays that an unglycosylated precursor was
associated with the cytoplasmic surface of isolated microsomes, whereas
a glycosylated form resided inside the vesicles. Both proteins were
trypsin resistant and had similar
-lactamase activity and
Km values for nitrocefin. The enzymatically
active cytoplasmic intermediate could be chased into the ER, followed
by secretion of the activity to the medium. Productive folding in the
cytoplasm occurred in the absence of disulfide formation, whereas in
the ER lumen, proper folding required oxidation of the sulfhydryls.
This suggests that the polypeptide was refolded in the ER and
consequently, at least partially unfolded for translocation.
