Sec35p, a novel peripheral membrane protein, is required for ER to Golgi vesicle docking

S M VanRheenen et al. J Cell Biol. 1998.

Abstract

SEC35 was identified in a novel screen for temperature-sensitive mutants in the secretory pathway of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (. Genetics. 142:393-406). At the restrictive temperature, the sec35-1 strain exhibits a transport block between the ER and the Golgi apparatus and accumulates numerous vesicles. SEC35 encodes a novel cytosolic protein of 32 kD, peripherally associated with membranes. The temperature-sensitive phenotype of sec35-1 is efficiently suppressed by YPT1, which encodes the rab-like GTPase required early in the secretory pathway, or by SLY1-20, which encodes a dominant form of the ER to Golgi target -SNARE-associated protein Sly1p. Weaker suppression is evident upon overexpression of genes encoding the vesicle-SNAREs SEC22, BET1, or YKT6. The cold-sensitive lethality that results from deleting SEC35 is suppressed by YPT1 or SLY1-20. These genetic relationships suggest that Sec35p acts upstream of, or in conjunction with, Ypt1p and Sly1p as was previously found for Uso1p. Using a cell-free assay that measures distinct steps in vesicle transport from the ER to the Golgi, we find Sec35p is required for a vesicle docking stage catalyzed by Uso1p. These genetic and biochemical results suggest Sec35p acts with Uso1p to dock ER-derived vesicles to the Golgi complex.

Predicted amino acid sequence of Sec35p and Sec35-1p. (a) Protein sequence of Sec35p. SEC35 was sequenced as part of the Yeast Genome Sequencing project and corresponds to ORF YGR120c, GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number Z72905. (b) Sequence of wild-type SEC35 from bp 613 to 628 with the transversion mutation at bp 624 (t to a) and corresponding codon change (tyrosine to ochre) present in the sec35-1 allele indicated with arrows.

A haploid strain containing a deletion of SEC35 exhibits a severe growth defect at 30°C and is inviable at 21°C; the cold-sensitive lethality can be rescued by the expression of SEC35, low levels of SLY1-20, or high levels of YPT1. The sec35Δ/SEC35 heterozygous deletion strain alone (a and b), or transformed with p_SEC35 (CEN)_ (c), p_YPT1 (2μm)_ (d), or p_SLY1-20 (CEN)_ (e) was sporulated and dissected. The resulting tetrads were incubated at 30°C for 7 d (a) or at 21°C for 5 d (b and c) or 7 d (d and e) on YPD plates. In c–e, only tetrads containing four viable spores are shown; tetrads with two or three viable spores were assumed to result from tetrads in which one or both of the sec35Δ haploid spores failed to receive the suppressing plasmid.

Suppression of the temperature-sensitive growth phenotype of the sec35-1 strain. Wild-type and sec35-1 strains containing the indicated plasmids were grown to stationary phase in synthetic media and used for a series of 10-fold dilutions. The stationary phase culture and five serial dilutions of each strain were spotted onto YPD plates and grown for 4 d at 37.5°C.

Characterization of the affinity-purified anti-Sec35p antibody. Extracts were made by glass bead lysis from logarithmically growing strains: wild-type, sec35Δ transformed with p_SLY1-20 (CEN), wild-type transformed with p_SEC35 (2μm), and sec35-1. All strains were incubated at 21°C before lysis except for the sec35-1 strain, which was maintained at 21°C or shifted to 38°C for 1 h before lysis. Extracts (0.2 OD595 per lane) were separated by SDS-12%PAGE and immunoblotted with affinity-purified anti-Sec35p antibodies. The migration of mol wt markers is shown on the right.

Suppression of the ER to Golgi transport defect of sec35-1 by expression of SLY1-20 or high levels of YPT1. Wild-type and sec18-1 strains, as well as the sec35-1 strain with and without the indicated plasmids, were grown at 21°C to mid-logarithmic phase and then shifted to 39°C for 45 min. Cells were labeled at 39°C for 10 min with Tran35S-label and then chased for 20 min at the same temperature. CPY was immunoprecipitated from each strain, resolved by SDS-7%PAGE, and then visualized by autoradiography. The migration of the ER precursor (p1) and mature (m) forms of CPY are indicated on the left.

The sec35-1 allele exhibits a synthetic interaction with ypt1-3 and uso1-1. The sec35-1 strain was mated to a strain bearing the ypt1-3 allele (a) or the uso1-1 allele (b), and the resulting diploid strains were sporulated, dissected on YPD plates, and then incubated at 30°C for 3 d. Six representative tetrads of each dissection are shown.

Sec35p is a peripheral membrane protein. (a) Sec35p partitions into soluble and membrane-associated pools. A wild-type strain was grown to logarithmic phase, lysed with glass beads, and then centrifuged at 1,000 g for 3 min to generate the S1 supernatant fraction. The S1 supernatant was centrifuged at 175,000 g to obtain the S175 supernatant and P175 pellet fractions. (b) The membrane-associated portion of Sec35p fractionates similarly to the Golgi protein, Sed5p. The S1 supernatant was centrifuged at 10,000 g to generate the S10 supernatant and P10 pellet fractions, and the S10 was subsequently centrifuged at 175,000 g to obtain the S175 supernatant and P175 pellet fractions. (c) Sec35p behaves as a peripheral membrane protein. The S1 supernatant was incubated with buffer 88, 1% Triton X-100, 1 M NaCl, or 100 mM Na2CO3, pH 11, centrifuged at 175,000 g, and separated into supernatant and pellet fractions. (a–c) Aliquots of each fraction were separated by SDS-12%PAGE and immunoblotted with affinity-purified anti-Sec35p (top panel), anti-Sed5p (center panel), or anti-PGK (bottom panel) antibodies. The samples loaded in each lane were derived from equivalent amounts of starting material.

Sec35p is required for ER to Golgi transport in vitro. Semi-intact yeast cell membranes prepared from wild-type (A) or sec35-1 (B) strains were incubated at 23° or 29°C for 60 min. Reactions contained an ATP regeneration system alone (No addition, solid bars), COPII, Uso1p, and LMA1 (Reconstituted, open bars), or COPII, Uso1p, LMA1 and His6-Sec35p (Reconstituted + Sec35p, hatched bars). Outer-chain modified forms of [35S]gp-α-factor were immunoprecipitated with anti–α1,6-mannose–specific antibodies and the percent transport reflects the amount of total [35S]gp-α-factor that has acquired Golgi-specific outer-chain modifications.

Sec35p is required for vesicle docking. Semi-intact yeast cell membranes prepared from wild-type or sec35-1 strains were incubated at 23° or 29°C for 30 min. Reactions contained an ATP regeneration system alone (No addition, solid bars), COPII (COPII, wide hatched bars), COPII and Uso1p (COPII + Uso1p, open bars), or COPII, Uso1p, and His6-Sec35p (COPII, Uso1p + Sec35p, narrow hatched bars). Freely diffusible vesicles containing [35S]gp-α-factor were separated from semi-intact membranes by centrifugation at 18,000 g for 3 min. The percent diffusible vesicles reflects the amount of total concanavalin A precipitable [35S]gp-α-factor contained in the 18,000 g supernatant fluid.
