A vesicular intermediate in the transport of hepatoma secretory proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex

HF Lodish, N Kong, S Hirani and J Rasmussen

We have identified a vesicle fraction that contains alpha 1-antitrypsin and other human HepG2 hepatoma secretory proteins en route from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) to the cis face of the Golgi complex. [35S]Methionine pulse-labeled cells were chased for various periods of time, and then a postnuclear supernatant fraction was resolved on a shallow sucrose-D2O gradient. This intermediate fraction has a density lighter than RER or Golgi vesicles. Most alpha 1-antitrypsin in this fraction (P1) bears N-linked oligosaccharides of composition similar to that of alpha 1-antitrypsin within the RER; mainly Man8GlcNac2 with lesser amounts of Man7GlcNac2 and Man9GlcNac2; this suggests that the protein has not yet reacted with alpha-mannosidase-I on the cis face of the Golgi complex. This light vesicle species is the first post-ER fraction to be filled by labeled alpha 1-antitrypsin after a short chase, and newly made secretory proteins enter this compartment in proportion to their rate of exit from the RER and their rate of secretion from the cells: alpha 1-antitrypsin and albumin faster than preC3 and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, faster, in turn, then transferrin. Deoxynojirimycin, a drug that blocks removal of glucose residues from alpha 1-antitrypsin in the RER and blocks its intracellular maturation, also blocks its appearance in this intermediate compartment. Upon further chase of the cells, we detect sequential maturation of alpha 1- antitrypsin to two other intracellular forms: first, P2, a form that has the same gel mobility as P1 but that bears an endoglycosidase H- resistant oligosaccharide and is found in a compartment--probably the medial Golgi complex--of density higher than that of the intermediate that contains P1; and second, the mature sialylated form of alpha 1- antitrypsin.
