The yeast -1,3-mannosyltransferase
(Mnn1p) is localized to the Golgi by independent transmembrane and lumenal domain signals. The lumenal
domain is localized to the Golgi complex when expressed as a soluble form (Mnn1-s) by exchange of its
transmembrane domain for a cleavable signal sequence
(Graham, T. R., and V. A. Krasnov. 1995. Mol. Biol.
Cell. 6:809-824). Mutants that failed to retain the lumenal domain in the Golgi complex, called lumenal domain retention (ldr) mutants, were isolated by screening mutagenized yeast colonies for those that secreted
Mnn1-s. Two genes were identified by this screen,
HOG1, a gene encoding a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) that functions in the high osmolarity
glycerol (HOG) pathway, and LDR1. We have found
that basal signaling through the HOG pathway is required to localize Mnn1-s to the Golgi in standard osmotic conditions. Mutations in HOG1 and LDR1 also
perturb localization of intact Mnn1p, resulting in its loss
from early Golgi compartments and a concomitant increase of Mnn1p in later Golgi compartments.

THE Golgi complex is at the center of the eukaryotic
secretory pathway. It is responsible for sorting proteins that are to be secreted from the cell, transported forward (anterograde) to the plasma membrane,
endosome, or lysosome/vacuole and backward (retrograde) to the ER. In addition to its central role in protein sorting, the Golgi complex contains an array of glycosyltransferases that elongate the core O- and N-linked carbohydrate structures added to glycoproteins in the ER. It
also possesses proteases that cleave specific proteins as
they pass through this organelle. These different Golgi enzymes are enriched in distinct subcompartments, referred
to as the cis, medial, trans, and TGN that together compose the Golgi complex (Farquhar and Palade, 1998). Although
the cisternae that compose the Golgi complex of S. cerevisiae are not arranged in an ordered stack as seen in electron micrographs of the Golgi complex in higher eukaryotes, the yeast Golgi is functionally ordered in a similar
manner. Like the mammalian Golgi, transport of proteins
through the yeast Golgi can be followed by observing the
posttranslational modification of cargo proteins, which include N- and O-linked carbohydrate additions as well as
proteolytic cleavage events. A model for the compartmental organization of the yeast Golgi complex based on a
functional analysis of posttranslational modification events
is shown in Fig. 1 A (Gaynor et al., 1994
; Graham and
Emr, 1991
).

All known Golgi glycosyltransferases are type II integral membrane proteins (Kleene and Berger, 1993).
Whereas no conserved Golgi localization signal has been
identified for these enzymes, the transmembrane domains
of several mammalian Golgi glycosyltransferases have
been shown to localize reporter proteins to the Golgi complex (reviewed in Munro, 1998
). More recently, the lumenal domains of a few of these proteins have been implicated in localization (Munro, 1998
). However, the
mechanism by which these sorting signals mediate retention is not clear, and very little information exists as to the
identity of trans-acting factors that recognize these signals
and localize glycosyltransferases to the Golgi. In addition, mechanisms by which the cell might regulate the distribution of Golgi glycosyltransferases within this organelle,
perhaps to modulate the composition of carbohydrates on
glycoproteins, glycolipids, or other carbohydrate polymers
have not been described.
The yeast Golgi enzyme, -1,3-mannosyltransferase
(Mnn1p)1 catalyzes the addition of terminal
-1,3-mannose residues to N- and O-linked oligosaccharides (Graham et al., 1992
; Yip et al., 1994
), an event that marks the
yeast medial or trans-Golgi (Graham and Emr, 1991
; Fig. 1
A). Mnn1p has two Golgi localization domains that function independently of one another. The signal anchor domain of this type II protein serves as one localization
signal. A fusion protein made with the Mnn1p transmembrane domain fused to the secreted enzyme invertase (see
Fig. 1 B, M39I) is localized to the Golgi complex. Like
Mnn1p, localization of M39I is clathrin dependent, as
M39I is mislocalized to the plasma membrane of cells carrying a deletion of the clathrin heavy chain gene (chc1
;
Graham and Krasnov, 1995
; Graham et al., 1994
). The
Mnn1p lumenal domain also contains an independent
localization signal. The Mnn1p signal-anchor and cytoplasmic tail domains were replaced with a cleavable signal peptide such that a truncated protein (see Fig. 1 B,
Mnn1-s) that contained no amino acids in common with
M39I was produced. Mnn1-s localized to the Golgi in a soluble, catalytically active form. Mnn1-s localization is saturable as the lumenal domain was secreted when overexpressed from a multi-copy plasmid. This differed from the
transmembrane domain signal in that overexpression of
M39I did not result in mislocalization. These observations
suggested that these two domains mediate Mnn1p localization to the Golgi by separate mechanisms (Graham and
Krasnov, 1995
).
A screen for mutants that fail to correctly localize
Mnn1-s to the Golgi and subsequently secrete it has resulted in the isolation of six lumenal domain retention
(ldr) mutants. A genomic clone that complemented one of
the ldr mutants was isolated and was found to be identical
to HOG1, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)
family member involved in a signal transduction cascade that responds to high osmotic stress known as the HOG
(high osmolarity glycerol response) pathway (Brewster et
al., 1993; Wurgler-Murphy and Saito, 1997
). We have further found that the other members of the HOG signal
transduction cascade are involved in localizing Mnn1-s to
the Golgi in nonosmotically stressed cells, implicating a
role for this pathway in transducing signals that regulate
the localization of trans-Golgi cisternal proteins in standard osmotic conditions used to culture yeast.

Strain Construction and Media
Strains used in this report are either shown in Table I or are described below. TRY1 through TRY6 are isolates from a mutagenized population of
SEY6210 pMNN1-s and SEY6211 pMNN1-s. TRY1 and TRY6 are in the
SEY6211 background and TRY2 through TRY5 are in the SEY6210
background. TRYxxx derivatives of the original mutants were made by
backcrossing the parental mutant strain with SEY6210 or SEY6211 (Table
I). The vps1ts, vps18, vps21
, vps24
, vps33
, and vps35
strains are in
the SEY6210 genetic background (S. Emr).
|
SEY6210 pmr1::LEU2 was constructed as described (Rudolph et al.,
1989) by transforming SEY6210 with the 8.1-kb AatII fragment from
pL119-3 containing the LEU2 marked disruption of the PMR1 gene.
SEY6210 hog1::LEU2 strain was constructed as described (Hall et al.,
1996
) by transforming SEY6210 with the SalI- and BamHI-digested pDHG14 containing the LEU2 marked hog1
allele. SEY6210 sho1:: LEU2 was constructed by transforming SEY6210 with the BamHI- and XbaI-digested pSHO1::LEU2 plasmid (M. Gustin, Rice University, Houston, TX).
To perform linkage analysis of the mutations carried in derivatives of
strains TRY2 through TRY6, we integrated the MNN1-s gene into the
chromosome of SEY6210 (to produce MLY1) by transforming SEY6210
with pRS304-MNN1-s linearized at the SmaI site. Derivatives of TRY2
through TRY6 were then crossed to MLY1 and segregants which carried
MNN1-s were isolated by standard yeast techniques (Guthrie and Fink,
1991).
Standard rich (YPD) and synthetic-defined (SD) minimal media were
used for culturing yeast (Sherman, 1991). Supplements were added to SD
media in plates or liquid as needed to support yeast growth. Where stated
in the text or figure legends the media for liquid and/or plates was supplemented with Na Hepes, pH 7.0, to a final concentration of 50 mM. Standard rich media was used to grow Escherichia coli (Miller, 1972
).
DNA Manipulations
pMNN1-s, pRS426 MNN1-s, and pM39I were described previously (Graham and Krasnov, 1995). pRS315 MNN1-s was constructed by subcloning the 4.3-kb NotI-XhoI fragment containing the MNN1-s construct released
from pRS426 MNN1-s into pRS315 (CEN LEU2; Sikorski and Hieter,
1989
). pRS304-MNN1-s was constructed by subcloning the 4.7-kb SacI-XhoI fragment from pMNN1-s into pRS304 (TRP1; Sikorski and Hieter,
1989
). To prepare pCM39S, site directed mutagenesis was performed on
pTG104 (Graham and Krasnov, 1995
) to introduce a SacI site 6 bp 5' of
the start codon and a BamHI site after codon 39 of the MNN1 gene. A
135-bp SacI-BamHI fragment from pTG104 was then subcloned into SacI-BamHI treated pCM166S in order to replace the MNN1 sequences encoding amino acids 1-166 with a smaller fragment encoding amino acids 1-39.
pCM166S is a pSEYC308 construct containing the PRC1 promoter (from
EcoRI to SacI introduced 6 bp 5' to the start codon), and the MNN1 gene
from the
6 bp relative to the start codon to a BamHI site after codon 166 of MNN1. Deletion analysis of pTR-26 was performed by generating six
deletion constructs. Constructs pTR-26
1 through pTR-26
6 were generated by deleting a SnaBI fragment, a SacI-BssHII fragment, a NsiI-BssHII
fragment, a NruI-BssHII fragment, a NsiI-SalI fragment, and a PvuII fragment, respectively. pTR-26
1, 3, and 5 failed to complement the Ldr
phenotype, whereas pTR-26
2, 4, and 6 all complemented the Ldr
phenotype, which implicated HOG1. Based on these results, pHOG1 was
constructed by subcloning the 2.6-kb ClaI-ScaI fragment containing HOG1 from pTR-26 into the ClaI- and SmaI-digested pRS313 (CEN and
HIS3; Sikorski and Hieter, 1989
) vector.
The standard lithium acetate method (Guthrie and Fink, 1991) was
used to transform yeast in most cases. A high efficiency electroporation
method (Meilhoc et al., 1990
) was used to transform yeast with a single-copy yeast genomic library (Horazdovsky et al., 1994
) using a BIO-RAD
GENE PULSER II electroporation apparatus and 2-mm electroporation
cuvettes from Bio-Rad Laboratories (Hercules, CA) or BTX (Genetronics, San Diego, CA). E. coli were transformed by the standard calcium
chloride method (Maniatis et al., 1982
) or electroporation using the apparatus described above and the protocol provided with the apparatus.
Colony Blot Assay
Yeast expressing Mnn1-s from a plasmid (pMNN1-s, pRS315 MNN1-s, or pRS426 MNN1-s) were grown for 2 d on selective minimal media at 30°C and replica plated onto YPD plates with 50 mM Na Hepes, pH 7.0, plates and incubated one additional day at 30°C. Each plate was then overlaid with a nitrocellulose filter and incubated 16-20 h at 30°C. The filters were then removed and rubbed with gloved hands under running deionized water to thoroughly remove residual yeast. The filters were then probed overnight with an affinity-purified anti-Mnn1p primary antibody (1:2,000), then for 1.5 h with a goat anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:2,000; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA) and immune complexes were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) assay (Nycomed Amersham Inc., Princeton, NJ) following the manufacturer's protocol. All antibody incubations and wash steps were performed at 4°C with gentle rocking.
Screen for ldr Mutants and Cloning of HOG1
The ldr mutants were isolated by spreading ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS;
Fluka AG, Buchs, Switzerland) mutagenized (Guthrie and Fink, 1991)
SEY6210 or SEY6211 cells carrying pMNN1-s on plates at a density of
~500 colonies per plate and screening using the colony blot assay. Viability was ~40%. The HOG1 gene was cloned as follows. TRY120 pMNN1-s
was transformed with a single-copy LEU2 marked yeast genomic library
(Horazdovsky et al., 1994
). Plates containing transformed colonies at the
same density described for the ldr mutant screen were screened for a Ldr+
phenotype against a background of colonies with a Ldr
phenotype by
colony blotting. This was done as described above with the exception that
library transformants were selected on SD
ura
leu plates buffered
with 50 mM Na Hepes, pH 7.0, and nitrocellulose was overlaid directly
onto the transformation plates without replica plating. Colonies which
gave a Ldr+ phenotype were picked and retested in the presence of controls that included SEY6210 pMNN1-s pRS315 as a negative control and TRY120 pMNN1-s pRS315 as a positive control.
Differential Centrifugation and Sucrose Gradient Fractionation
Differential centrifugation analysis and sucrose gradient fractionation of
Golgi membranes were performed essentially as described previously
(Graham and Krasnov, 1995) with the following modifications. Cell lysis
and differential centrifugations were performed in the presence of PMSF
at 1 mM and the following protease inhibitors at a concentration of 1 µg/ml:
pepstatin, leupeptin, aprotinin, antipain, and chymostatin. Fractions were
not processed further after being removed from the gradient, but were assayed directly from the sucrose fractions collected. Typically, 13 fractions were collected from each sample, and fractions from different gradients
were normalized to one another based on the sucrose density of each fraction as determined by the refractive index. Kex2p and GDPase assays,
protein concentration determinations, and Western blots of the fractions
were performed as described previously (Graham and Krasnov, 1995
).
Quantitation of Western blots from the sucrose gradients and for the section below was essentially done as previously described (Gaynor et al.,
1998
).
Quantitation of Mnn1-s Secretion
Cells (10 OD600) were collected at logarithmic phase of growth and converted to spheroplasts as previously described (Graham and Krasnov,
1995) with addition of 25 µl of 1 mg/ml BSA to the spheroplasting buffer.
The spheroplasts were collected by centrifugation for 3 min at room temperature at 10,000 rpm. The supernatant was removed to a fresh tube and
50% TCA was added to a final concentration of 10%, then centrifuged to
pellet the proteins, and washed twice with acetone. The pellets were dried
down and resuspended in 100 µl 1× sample buffer. The spheroplast pellets were resuspended in 1× sample buffer and boiled 5 min. They were
then broken up by vortexing in the presence of glass beads, centrifuging at
room temperature for 2 min, and then boiled again. 20 µl (2 OD equivalents) of both the spheroplasts and the periplasmic space fraction were fractionated by SDS-PAGE and Western blotted as described previously (Graham and Krasnov, 1995
). Cell labeling and separation of cells from
periplasmic space contents were done essentially as described (Seaman et
al., 1997
) except that protease inhibitors (same as listed above without
PMSF) were included in the spheroplasting buffer. Immunoprecipitations
were performed as described previously (Graham and Krasnov, 1995
).

The pmr1 Mutant Mislocalizes the Soluble Mnn1p
Lumenal Domain
The lumenal domain of Mnn1p (Fig. 1 B, Mnn1-s) is efficiently localized to the Golgi complex independently of
the Mnn1p transmembrane domain. However, Mnn1-s is
secreted from the cell when overexpressed from a multi-copy plasmid (Graham and Krasnov, 1995). This suggested that Mnn1-s may be retained by a saturable, receptor-mediated mechanism and that mutants that failed to
properly sort Mnn1-s would secrete it. To detect such mutants, we used a colony blotting technique (Wilsbach and
Payne, 1993
) where yeast colonies growing on agar plates
were overlaid with nitrocellulose discs for 16-20 h that
were then washed free of yeast and probed with antibodies to Mnn1p. The colony blotting technique was tested using
wild-type yeast expressing Mnn1-s on a single-copy plasmid as a negative control (Fig. 2 A, WT), and wild-type
yeast overexpressing Mnn1-s from a multi-copy plasmid as
a positive control (Fig. 2 A, WT 2µ MNN1-s). Colonies
harboring the single-copy Mnn1-s plasmid produced a
weak background signal and yeast overexpressing Mnn1-s (therefore secreting this protein) were easily detected by
the colony blot assay, suggesting that it would be possible
to screen for mutants by this method.
|
However, there was a concern that we would not be able to detect mutants mislocalizing Mnn1-s expressed from a single-copy plasmid due to the lower expression level. Specificity was also a concern as it was possible that any mutation that perturbed the secretory pathway would cause secretion of Mnn1-s. These two concerns were addressed by using the colony blot assay to examine known mutants expressing Mnn1-s from a single-copy plasmid for an Mnn1-s secretion phenotype.
Mutants containing null alleles of PMR1, which encodes
a Golgi-localized, Ca++ ATPase (Rudolph et al., 1989) exhibit a defect in Golgi-specific carbohydrate modifications
on secreted glycoproteins. These glycoproteins lack outer
chain
-1,3-mannose on N-linked oligosaccharides, even though the cells express normal levels of
-1,3-mannosyltransferase activity in lysates (Verostek and Trimble,
1995
). Two strains with different genetic backgrounds carrying a disruption of the PMR1 gene and a single-copy
plasmid expressing Mnn1-s were examined using the colony blot assay. Both pmr1
mutants secreted Mnn1-s and
produced a signal on the filter that was substantially
darker than the wild-type controls (Fig. 2 A). Secretion of
Mnn1-s from pmr1
cells was specific since a number of
other strains carrying mutations that perturb the Golgi
were also tested by colony blot, but none of the other
strains secreted Mnn1-s (Fig. 2, A and B). This result suggested that the glycosylation defect exhibited by the
pmr1
mutant was at least partially attributable to mislocalization of Mnn1p.
Isolation of ldr-defective Mutants
All of the mutants tested perturb the Golgi complex in
various ways, but only the pmr1 mutant secreted Mnn1-s.
The clear difference in signal between the pmr1
and
wild-type cells expressing Mnn1-s from a single-copy plasmid indicated that the colony blotting assay could be
used to identify mutations that would specifically perturb
Mnn1-s localization. Approximately 15,500 EMS mutagenized colonies were screened by colony blotting for ldr
mutants that secreted Mnn1-s. 30 mutants were isolated
and crossed to the parental wild-type strains to make heterozygous diploids and tested by colony blotting to determine if the mutant phenotype was dominant or recessive
(an example is shown in Fig. 2 C; TRY320/WT, TRY121/ WT). Three of the strains carried dominant mutations and
were not characterized further. We backcrossed each of
the 27 recessive mutants with the parental strains and followed the mutations through two backcrosses. Only 6 of
the 27 original mutants (TRY1 through TRY6) contained
mutations which gave a clear 2:2 segregation of the phenotype in each backcross, which suggested a single gene mutation. The six mutants were intercrossed to one another
and the resulting diploids assayed by colony blotting for
the mutant phenotype in order to place the mutants into
complementation groups. Members of a complementation
group are defined by those mutants that when crossed to
one another form a diploid that has a mutant phenotype.
This suggests that both original haploid mutant strains used in the cross carried mutations in the same gene and
the resulting diploid is now homozygous for mutant alleles
at that locus. In most cases, a diploid heterozygous for mutations in two different genes would have a wild-type phenotype.
Fig. 2 C shows a representative complementation test
between two ldr mutants. TRY120 and TRY121 are haploid segregants derived from the mutant strain TRY1 (0 or
1 at the end of the strain name indicates mating type a or
, respectively) and TRY320 and TRY321 are derived
from strain TRY3. A diploid made by crossing strains carrying two independently isolated mutations (TRY121/
TRY320) was compared with homozygous diploids that
were made from strains carrying the same mutation
(TRY120/TRY121 and TRY320/TRY321) which act as
positive controls for the mutant phenotype. A wild-type diploid (WT/WT) was used as a negative control and the
parental haploid strains are shown as well. In each case,
the intercrossed diploids produced a signal on the colony
blot that was similar to that produced by the homozygous
mutant diploids. Therefore, it appeared that all six mutations fell into one complementation group.
To more quantitatively determine the level of Mnn1-s
secreted from the different mutants compared with the
wild-type strain, cells were separated from the contents of
the periplasmic space where most secreted yeast proteins
including Mnn1-s accumulate. The cell and periplasmic
space fractions were analyzed by Western blotting with
antibodies to Mnn1p. The signals for the two fractions were added together and the amount in the periplasmic
space taken as a percent of the total. As shown in Fig. 2 D,
the mutants secreted between 22 and 57% of the total
Mnn1-s compared with an average of 9% for the wild-type
strain. An mnn1 strain not carrying the plasmid was included as a negative control for the Western blot. All results were normalized after reprobing the blots with an antibody to the cytoplasmic protein phosphoglycerate kinase
(PGK) to control for cell lysis. No significant difference
was observed between the mutants and the wild-type with
regard to the levels of PGK found in the two fractions indicating the above results were not due to cell lysis. We
have also examined the medium from these cultures by
Western blot and could not detect the intact Mnn1-s protein (data not shown). These data indicate that the dark
signal observed for mutant strains by colony blot correlate to an increase in secretion of Mnn1-s to the periplasmic
space. It is likely that the colony blot signal arises from
Mnn1-s proteolytic fragments that are small enough to diffuse through the cell wall.
Comparable results were obtained when the wild-type
strain and TRY120 were metabolically labeled with 35S
methionine/cysteine for 10 min and chased for 0, 15, 30, and 60 min. Mnn1-s was immunoprecipitated from the
periplasmic space and cell fractions and the results quantitated by PhosphorImaging. At 30 min of chase there was a
threefold increase in the level of Mnn1-s found in the periplasmic space of the mutant compared with the wild-type.
In addition, carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) was immunoprecipitated from the same samples and we observed that transport to the vacuole was normal, indicating that these
mutants did not impinge on the vps pathway (data not
shown). In addition, CPY is a substrate for Mnn1p and the
glycosylation pattern of CPY was similar to that of wild-type (data not shown). Mnn1-s did not appear to be produced in greater quantities in ldr mutants based on Western blots and on cell labeling experiments. Therefore, the
secretion phenotype seen in the mutants was not likely
caused by overexpression of the lumenal domain. Mnn1-s
transcription is driven from the PRC1 (CPY) promoter
(Graham and Krasnov, 1995) and we also did not observe
an increase in CPY expression in the mutants compared
with the wild-type, again suggesting that the Mnn1-s transcriptional levels were similar between mutant and wild-type strains (data not shown).
The HOG1 Gene Complements the Ldr1 Phenotype
of TRY120
The fact that the pmr1 strain secretes Mnn1-s raised the
possibility that we had isolated several new pmr1 mutant
alleles. To test this, we crossed the pmr1
strain with each
ldr mutant and found the Ldr
phenotype was complemented in each diploid. In addition, TRY120 and TRY220
were transformed with a multi-copy plasmid expressing a
HA-tagged copy of the PMR1 gene, which is known to be
functional (Antebi and Fink, 1992
). This plasmid did not
complement the Ldr
mutant phenotype. These data indicated that these mutants were not a collection of pmr1 mutant alleles (data not shown).
The wild-type gene represented by the ldr mutation in
TRY120 was cloned by screening a single-copy yeast genomic library for plasmids which complemented the Ldr
mutant phenotype of TRY120. This was done by analyzing
transformed colonies for those that produced a lighter signal on colony blots relative to neighboring noncomplemented colonies. TRY120 was used because the mutation
it carried gave the strongest Ldr
phenotype in both mating types after two backcrosses. A single clone was isolated from 15,000 transformants that could complement the Ldr
phenotype in a plasmid-linked manner (Fig. 3 A).
The ends of the insert were sequenced and compared with
the yeast genome sequence to identify the chromosome
XII fragment shown in Fig. 3 B. Deletion analysis and subcloning revealed that the HOG1 gene was responsible for
complementing the Ldr
phenotype (Fig. 3 A and Materials and Methods).
|
The HOG1 gene encodes a well-characterized member
of the MAPK family involved in the high osmolarity glycerol response (HOG) pathway (diagrammed in Fig. 8), a
signal transduction cascade that responds to increases
in extracellular osmolarity. Hog1p is activated through
two redundant signal transduction pathways. The Sln1p-Ypd1p histidine kinase phosphorelay osmosensor complex actively represses Ssk1p through phosphorylation in normal osmotic conditions. In the presence of hyperosmotic
stress the Sln1p-Ypd1p osmosensor complex becomes inactive. This relieves repression of Ssk1p, which in turn activates the HOG pathway through phosphorylation of the
redundant MAPK kinase kinases (MAPKKKs) Ssk2p and
Ssk22p. These MAPKKKs activate the MAPK kinase
(MAPKK) Pbs2p, which then activates Hog1p through
phosphorylation. Activated Hog1p in turn upregulates the
transcription of osmotic stress response genes such as
GPD1, which encodes glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and HSP12, which encodes one of the major small
heat shock proteins in yeast. Alternatively, a second input
into this pathway, the Sho1p osmosensor, activates the
Ste11p MAPKKK, which in turn activates the Pbs2p
MAPKK, which activates Hog1p (Wurgler-Murphy and
Saito, 1997).
|
hog1 mutants are unable to grow in conditions of osmotic stress such as agar plates containing 1.0 M sorbitol.
We found that TRY120 was unable to grow on 1 M sorbitol plates (Figs. 3 C and 4 B) and the HOG1 gene expressed from a single-copy plasmid was able to complement the growth defect of TRY120 on 1 M sorbitol (Fig. 4
B). In addition, a diploid made by crossing TRY120 with a
hog1 strain was also unable to grow on 1 M sorbitol (Fig.
3 C), and when this diploid was sporulated and the segregants examined by random spore analysis, 0 out of 209 segregants were able to grow on 1.5 M sorbitol plates confirming that TRY120 carries a mutant allele of HOG1. We
now refer to this allele as hog1-11. Surprisingly, when one
of the other ldr mutants, TRY220, was transformed with a
plasmid containing the HOG1 gene, the Ldr
phenotype
was not complemented (Fig. 4, A and B). In addition, TRY220 did not show a growth defect on 1 M sorbitol
plates. These data indicated that the Ldr
phenotype exhibited by TRY220 was caused by a mutation in a gene other than HOG1. The other four ldr mutants isolated in
this screen (TRY3 through TRY6 or their derivatives)
were also found to grow on 1 M sorbitol (Fig. 4 B) suggesting that these strains also did not carry mutant alleles of
the HOG1 gene. To clearly determine the number of
genes represented by the remaining five ldr mutants, we
analyzed tetrads generated from intercrossing these mutant strains. The results from this linkage analysis showed
that all five mutants carried mutant alleles of the same
gene, LDR1, which we refer to as ldr1-2 (TRY2) through
ldr1-6 (TRY6; data not shown). The failure to produce
diploids that were complemented for the Ldr
phenotype when derivatives of TRY1 (hog1-11) are crossed to
any of the remaining five ldr mutants (Fig. 2 C, TRY121/
TRY320) appears to result from nonallelic noncomplementation, a genetic interaction that suggests a functional
interaction between the encoded proteins. This is a specific genetic interaction between ldr1 and hog1, since a
pmr1
strain complemented all of the mutants.

Effect of hog1-11 and ldr1-2 Mutations on Transmembrane Domain-mediated Localization Mechanism
Wild-type, hog1, hog1-11, and ldr1-2 cells were transformed with a single-copy plasmid expressing the M39I fusion protein (Fig. 1 B) and the level of invertase localized
to the cell surface was assayed. Wild-type, hog1
, and
hog1-11 cells expressed the same low percentage of invertase activity at the cell surface (~6%) indicating that the
transmembrane domain mediated localization mechanism
was not defective in cells lacking functional Hog1p (Fig.
5). The same was found to be true for cells carrying a null allele of PMR1 (Fig. 5). However, ldr1-2 cells mislocalized
~15% of the invertase activity to the cell surface (Fig. 5).
Although a modest increase relative to the wild-type
strain, this effect was reproducible, and suggests that
the ldr1-2 mutation leads to defects in both the lumenal
and transmembrane domain mediated localization mechanisms.

Golgi Compartment-specific Mislocalization of Intact Mnn1p in the hog1-11 and ldr1-2 Mutants
Although the hog1-11 (TRY120) and ldr1-2 (TRY220)
mutations perturbed Mnn1-s localization, it was not clear
if these mutations would perturb the localization of intact
Mnn1p. To test this, Golgi membranes from hog1-11, ldr1-2,
and wild-type strains expressing only wild-type Mnn1p
were enriched by differential centrifugation and sucrose
gradient fractionation. In brief, the strains were osmotically lysed and centrifuged at 1,000 g to pellet unlysed cells. Then the supernatants were centrifuged at 13,000 g
to pellet the nuclear, vacuolar, ER, and plasma membranes (P13). Membranes within the supernatants from
the 13,000 g spin (S13) were then centrifuged through 20%
sucrose at 100,000 g to pellet the Golgi membranes onto a
66% sucrose cushion (P100). The P100 was loaded onto
the bottom of a sucrose density step gradient and centrifuged to equilibrium at 100,000 g. The gradient was then
separated into fractions which were assayed for GDPase, a
marker for the early Golgi compartments (Vowles and
Payne, 1998) and Kex2p, a marker for the TGN (Cunningham and Wickner, 1989
; Graham and Emr, 1991
). The
amount of Mnn1p in the P13, P100, and each gradient fraction was determined by Western blotting.
A significant alteration in the percentage of Mnn1p in
the P13 fraction from the mutants was not observed, suggesting that Mnn1p was not accumulating in the ER, vacuolar membranes, or plasma membrane of the mutants.
Mnn1p was enriched in the P100 from the wild-type cells
as reported previously (Graham et al., 1994) and was also
enriched to a similar extent in the P100 derived from the
mutant strains (data not shown). However, the distribution of Mnn1p in the sucrose gradient fractions from the
mutants differed significantly from the wild-type profile
(Fig. 6, A-C). A peak containing 30-70% of Mnn1p is typically found in the less dense sucrose fractions (1-4) and
cofractionates with the major peak of GDPase in gradients
from wild-type cells (Fig. 6 A). This first peak of Mnn1p is
nearly absent in gradients containing Golgi membranes from the mutants (Fig. 6, B and C). The Mnn1p lost from
the less dense Golgi fractions in the mutants appears to
have shifted to the more dense fractions that contain the
TGN marker Kex2p. A similar profile to that shown in
Fig. 6 B was observed for Golgi membranes isolated from
hog1
cells.
|
As previously reported for Golgi preparations from wild-type cells, most of the GDPase activity was recovered in the less dense fractions of the sucrose gradient (Fig. 6 A, fractions 1-3) and most of the Kex2p activity peaked in the denser fractions (Fig. 6 A, fractions 8-11). GDPase activity was observed to have undergone a shift toward the denser fractions in the mutant strains relative to the wild-type, that is similar, but not as dramatic as that observed for Mnn1p. The gradient profile of Kex2p activity from the mutants was not significantly different than that observed for the wild-type (Fig. 6, B and C). These strains also carried an HA-epitope tagged version of Och1p which is commonly used as a marker for the Golgi. The distribution of Och1-HA among Golgi fractions was similar between mutant and wild-type strains (data not shown). The fact that the localization of Mnn1p was dramatically altered in the hog1-11 and ldr1-2 mutants, but the distribution of most other Golgi markers examined were relatively similar to wild-type suggests that the hog1-11 and ldr1-2 mutants specifically perturb protein localization within the Mnn1p compartment(s).
Immunofluorescence was used to examine the organization of the Golgi by analyzing the distribution of Golgi
markers, Mnn1p, Kex2p, and Och1-HA as described previously (Graham et al., 1994). We found that Golgi morphology does not appear to be affected by the hog1
mutation. In addition, examination of wild-type and hog1
cells by transmission electron microscopy (Rieder et al., 1996
) did not reveal any apparent aberrations in intracellular membranes or ultrastructure.
Signal Transduction Through the HOG Pathway Is Required for Mnn1-s Localization
The fact that the Hog1p MAPK is required for proper localization of Mnn1p in the Golgi complex in the absence
of hyperosmotic stress raised the question as to whether
signal transduction through the HOG pathway may have a
function in retaining Golgi proteins in nonstressed cells.
To test this, a pbs2 (MAPKK
) mutant was analyzed for
the Ldr
phenotype by the colony blotting assay and, like
hog1-11 mutants, was found to secrete Mnn1-s (Fig. 7 A),
but pbs2
did not perturb localization of M39I (Fig. 5).
These results implied that the rest of the HOG pathway
may be involved in localization of the Mnn1p lumenal domain. To block the HOG pathway response to hyperosmotic stress upstream of Pbs2p, both of the redundant
receptor pathways, Sho1p and Sln1p-Ypd1p, must be
blocked (Maeda et al., 1995
; Wurgler-Murphy and Saito,
1997
). A triple mutant was tested in which the genes encoding the redundant MAPKKKs Ssk2p and Ssk22p that
function in the Sln1p-Ypd1p receptor pathway and the
gene encoding the Sho1p receptor were all three knocked
out and therefore has a block in both input branches of the
HOG pathway (see Fig. 8). This triple mutant, ssk2
ssk22
sho1
, also mislocalized Mnn1-s as seen in Fig. 7 B.
These results strongly suggest that a basal level of signaling through the entire HOG pathway in the absence of osmotic stress is required for Mnn1p localization. However, these results do not rule out the possibility that only one
input branch and not both are involved. To test this, each
branch was individually knocked out. An ssk1
null mutation knocks out the Sln1p-Ypd1p osmosensor pathway
(Posas et al., 1996
) and the sho1
null mutation blocks the
alternative pathway (Maeda et al., 1995
). Neither the
ssk1
mutation alone nor the sho1
mutation alone resulted in Mnn1-s secretion (Fig. 7, C and D). Therefore, a
basal level of Hog1p activation through either branch of
the pathway is sufficient to maintain proper localization of
Mnn1-s.

A screen for mutants that fail to properly localize the soluble lumenal domain of Mnn1p has uncovered six ldr mutants. Although these six mutants were all assigned to a
single complementation group, they have been shown to
carry mutations in two different genetic loci, HOG1 and
LDR1. The HOG1 gene encodes a MAPK that is part of a
well-characterized signal transduction cascade that responds to hyperosmotic stress (Fig. 8; Brewster et al., 1993; Wurgler-Murphy and Saito, 1997
). We have found that
mutations that inactivate upstream components of the
HOG pathway (Figs. 7 and 8) also result in a Ldr
phenotype.
We had previously proposed that the Mnn1p transmembrane domain and lumenal domain localization signals
mediate protein targeting through different mechanisms.
This proposal is strongly supported by the current work as
mutations in HOG1, PMR1, and PBS2 that cause secretion of Mnn1-s do not cause mislocalization of M39I to the
plasma membrane. Conversely, a mutation in the clathrin heavy chain causes mislocalization of M39I, but not Mnn1-s
(Graham et al., 1994 and Fig. 2 A). Intact Mnn1p does not
appear to be mislocalized to the plasma membrane in
hog1-11 or ldr1-2 cells, apparently because the transmembrane domain-mediated localization mechanism is still intact. Instead, Mnn1p is lost from the early (less dense)
Golgi compartments and accumulates in dense membranes containing Kex2p as seen in sucrose gradient fractionation experiments (Fig. 6, B and C). This phenotype is
specific to Mnn1p as the Golgi marker Och1p-HA and the
TGN marker Kex2p were both localized correctly (data
not shown and Fig. 6, respectively). Golgi GDPase partially cofractionates with Mnn1p in gradients from wild-type cells; and a portion of GDPase was also shifted to
denser fractions from both the hog1-11 and ldr1-2 mutants, but not to the same extent as Mnn1p.
The Nature of the Localization Signal within the Mnn1p Lumenal Domain
There are two models that could explain the mechanism
by which the Mnn1p lumenal domain localization signal
functions. The first model consists of a retrieval mechanism in which the lumenal domain is recognized by a
receptor in the TGN when it leaves the trans-Golgi compartment. This receptor then facilitates the retrograde transport of the Mnn1p lumenal domain from the TGN to
the trans-Golgi compartment from which it escaped. Disruption of the HOG pathway or of the LDR1 gene would
interrupt some aspect of the retrieval pathway which
would then result in secretion of Mnn1-s. However, the localization signal within the Mnn1p transmembrane domain is thought to act through a retrieval mechanism
(Graham and Krasnov, 1995) and in strains carrying mutations in the HOG1 gene, M39I is not lost to the cell surface. In addition, Och1p localization does not appear to be
perturbed in hog1
cells (data not shown), even though
this protein is also thought to be retrieved from the Kex2p
compartment (Harris and Waters, 1996
). Mnn1-s is also not secreted in mutants carrying ret1-1 or vps1
mutations, genetic lesions that are both thought to cause defects in Golgi-associated retrograde membrane trafficking.
These observations lead us to suggest that a retrograde
pathway from the Kex2p compartment to earlier Golgi
compartments is not perturbed in the hog1
mutant. However, it is possible that inactivation of Hog1p perturbs the recruitment of Mnn1-s and its receptor into the retrograde
pathway. The ldr1-2 mutant does exhibit a partial defect in
M39I localization and could therefore perturb the retrieval mechanism directly.
The second model suggests a retention mechanism, in which retention machinery in both the trans-Golgi compartment and TGN recognize the lumenal domain of Mnn1p and retain a population within each compartment. In this model, mutations in the HOG1 and LDR1 genes result in a loss of retention from the trans-Golgi compartment. If retention machinery is operating within the TGN alone, then its association with the Mnn1p lumenal domain may be sufficient to retard transmembrane domain- mediated retrieval to the trans-Golgi compartment that would result in a steady-state accumulation of Mnn1p in the TGN. Conversely, Mnn1-s would be secreted from the cell since only half of the retention machinery (that found in the TGN) would be operating and Mnn1-s lacks the transmembrane domain signal to prevent it from being exocytosed. The fact that there is a slight accumulation of M39I on the plasma membrane in a ldr1-2 mutant may suggest that these two models are not mutually exclusive.
HOG Pathway Control of Golgi Protein Localization and Cell Wall Biogenesis
In this report, we provide the first demonstration that
Hog1p and a functional HOG pathway are required for
the proper localization of a glycosyltransferase to the
Golgi complex. This requirement was found in the absence
of the hyperosmotic stress response and suggests a role for
a basal level of signaling through the HOG pathway in
regulating the distribution of proteins within the Golgi.
Changing the compartmental distribution of glycosyltransferases within the Golgi may provide a novel mechanism
for regulating the composition of the yeast cell wall, which
consists of mannan (mannoproteins), -1,3-glucan,
-1,6-glucan, and a small amount of chitin. Golgi glycosyltransferases are essential for biosynthesis of mannan (Cid et al.,
1995
) and
-1,6-glucan (Roemer et al., 1993
; Roemer et
al., 1994
). In fact, proteins of the HOG pathway have previously been implicated in cell wall biosynthesis. For example, SLN1, SSK2, and PTC1, which encode the Sln1p
osmosensor, the Ssk2p MAPKKK, and the protein serine/
threonine phosphatase Ptc1p, respectively, were recovered in a screen for cell wall-defective yeast mutants
based on calcofluor white hypersensitivity (Lussier et al.,
1997
).
In another screen, the MAPKK PBS2 was identified as a
gene that, when overexpressed on a multi-copy plasmid,
would impart a killer toxin resistant phenotype, which indicates a defect in cell wall biosynthesis (Jiang et al., 1995).
The
-1,6-glucan polymers appear to serve as a receptor
for yeast killer toxin and a decrease in
-1,6-glucan content correlates with killer toxin resistance (Cid et al.,
1995
). Conversely, a pbs
strain was hypersensitive to
killer toxin and exhibited an increase in
-1,6-glucan.
Strains carrying a ptc1
mutation exhibited the same phenotype as strains overexpressing PBS2. In these experiments, pbs2
was found to be epistatic to ptc1
, suggesting that the PTC1 encoded phosphatase was acting to
suppress the HOG pathway function in cell wall biosynthesis (Jiang et al., 1995
). In each case, these screens were
carried out in standard osmotic conditions and suggest
that the basally activated HOG pathway is required for
normal Golgi function in cell wall biosynthesis. Further
support for a role of the HOG pathway in Golgi function
is that Pbs2p was shown to act as a multicopy suppressor
of the growth defect of an arf1
mutant on sodium fluoride plates (Kahn et al., 1995
).
How Does the HOG Pathway Influence Golgi Protein Localization?
Is Hog1p basal activity effecting Mnn1p localization by
transcriptionally regulating genes involved in the localization process, or does Hog1p control localization more directly through posttranslational phosphorylation of Golgi
proteins? Jiang et al. (1995) have presented evidence that
Pbs2p and Hog1p participate in upregulating the transcription of the EXG1 gene, which encodes an exo-
-glucanase that is involved in remodeling the yeast cell wall.
This lends support to the idea that Hog1p is controlling
Golgi organization through transcriptional regulation of
unidentified secretory pathway genes. However, it is clear
from the experiments described in this report that if
Hog1p is acting through transcriptional regulation, that it
is not significantly influencing the amount of Mnn1-s, M39I, or Mnn1p in the cells. In fact, another MAP kinase
pathway, initiated by PKC (see Fig. 8), acts in concert with
the cell cycle-regulated transcription factor SBF (Mbp1p-Swi6p) to modulate the transcription of at least six different cell wall biosynthetic genes including MNN1 (Igual et al.,
1996
).
On the other hand, several examples of posttranslational signaling events that control events within the Golgi
have been reported. An unidentified MAPK in the ERK1
family is necessary for fragmenting the Golgi in permeabilized mammalian cells when mitotic extracts are added
(Acharya et al., 1998), and G
subunits of a trimeric G
protein are also capable of inducing vesiculation of mammalian Golgi membranes in vitro (Jamora et al., 1997
).
Additionally, phosphorylation of furin, a protease in the
mammalian TGN, modulates the trafficking of this protein
through association with PACS-1 (Wan et al., 1998
). In
yeast, the cytoplasmic Vps15p protein kinase controls sorting of soluble vacuolar proteins from the lumen of the
Kex2p compartment to an endosomal intermediate by
phosphorylation of a cytoplasmic PI-3 kinase (Vps34p;
Stack et al., 1995
). The Vps15p and Vps34p kinases probably act through integral membrane protein receptors, such
as the CPY receptor, Vps10p, to influence the sorting of
soluble vacuolar proteins within the lumen of the Golgi
complex. Likewise, if Hog1p acts through a posttranslational mechanism, we would expect that phosphorylation
of Golgi-associated membrane protein(s) would influence
Mnn1p localization.
Identification of the downstream targets of Hog1p will
help determine how Hog1p controls Mnn1p localization.
The LDR1 gene product may be one such target, as strains
containing the six ldr mutations isolated in this screen fail
to complement one another despite the fact that two different genes are represented, HOG1 and LDR1. This genetic interaction, termed nonallelic noncomplementation, often predicts an interaction between the products of the
two genes. Thus, Ldr1p may be a substrate for the Hog1p
kinase. In fact, the Ldr phenotype of two strains carrying
different mutant alleles of LDR1 (ldr1-2 and ldr1-6) is
mildly suppressed when the HOG pathway is activated
by growth on agar plates containing 0.45 M NaCl while pmr1
strains and other ldr strains are unaffected (our unpublished observation). This suggests that Ldr1p may be a
target of Hog1p. In addition, Pmr1p is a possible target for
Hog1p since deletion of PMR1 also causes secretion of
Mnn1-s.
The HOG signaling cascade is initiated from two integral membrane proteins, Sln1p and Sho1p, that appear to
sense an osmotic imbalance (Wurgler-Murphy and Saito,
1997). However, it is not understood how these proteins
sense hyperosmotic conditions. The Mnn1p mislocalization phenotype was observed in the absence of osmotic
stress, but correct localization requires a functional HOG
pathway. What are the Sho1p/Sln1p osmosensors detecting that triggers signaling through the HOG pathway that
is necessary for optimal Mnn1p localization? Perhaps the
two HOG receptors act to sense osmotic perturbations
caused by changes in the cell wall during normal growth.
The mitotic process of budding and the process of mating
both require remodeling of the cell wall at particular points. It is thought that weaknesses in the cell wall induced by this remodeling process activate the protein kinase C MAPK (PKC-MPK) pathway to increase the expression of several cell wall biosynthetic enzymes (Cid et al.,
1995
; Igual et al., 1996
; Fig. 8). Null mutations in the PKC1
gene result in a weakened cell wall and a cell lysis phenotype that is remedied by the presence of high concentrations of solutes in the growth media.
Interestingly, the PKC-MPK pathway is also activated
by hypotonic stress and is repressed by activation of the
HOG pathway (Davenport et al., 1995). These observations suggest that the HOG and PKC-MPK pathway play
opposing roles in the cell. We propose that one of these
roles is to balance the plasticity of the cell wall during
growth. As a yeast cell buds, shmoos, or undergoes any
change in shape associated with growth, the cell wall must concomitantly expand to fit the expanding plasma membrane. In order for the rigid cell wall to undergo a compensatory increase in size it must be weakened at the point of
new growth before the new cell wall material is added. As
depicted diagrammatically in Fig. 8, the HOG osmosensors could act to detect an area in the cell wall at the point
of growth that needs to be softened in order for expansion
to occur. The transduction of signals through Hog1p results
in upregulation of the exo-
-glucanase Exg1p, suppression of the PKC-MPK pathway, and rearrangements of specific
cell wall biosynthetic enzymes within the Golgi (such as
Mnn1p) that could alter the composition of the carbohydrate content of newly synthesized mannoproteins and
-glucans added to the cell wall. However, once the wall
has been sufficiently weakened, the PKC-MPK pathway
would be activated to increase cell wall biosynthesis at this
point. This form of give and take regulation by these two
complementary pathways would allow for constant sensing of the condition of the cell wall at the point of growth
and has put in place two pathways which can also respond
to the extreme conditions of hyper- or hypotonic stress.
Thus, both the HOG pathway and the PKC-MPK pathway
could be acting to coordinate organization and synthesis of
cell wall biosynthetic enzymes in order to create a dynamic cell wall that can undergo rapid change, yet still remain a
strong protective barrier.
