ABSTRACT
We have analyzed the intracellular behavior of the human transferrin receptor (TfR) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The major part of the heterologously expressed TfR, which has previously been used as a model for heterologous expression of membrane proteins in yeast, is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes; a minor fraction is present in the plasma membrane (PM). The stability of the TfR depends on vacuolar proteases, implying that it is degraded in the vacuolar compartment. Degradation is further dependent on favorable transport conditions to this compartment. The main bottleneck of transport seems to be the transition from the ER to the PM. The chaperone Cne1p, which is involved in quality control in the ER, plays a role in regulating the amount of heterologous TfR, as deletion of CNE1 leads to significant accumulation of the protein. This is the first demonstration of the involvement of CNE1 in regulating the level of heterologous membrane proteins (AU)
RESUMEN
Hemos analizado el comportamiento intracelular del receptor de la transferrina humano (TfR) en Saccharomyces cerevisiae. La mayor parte del TfR expresado heterólogamente, usado previamente como modelo de expresión heteróloga de proteínas de membrana en levaduras, se localiza en las membranas del retículo endoplásmico (RE); una fracción menor se encuentra en la membrana plasmática. La estabilidad del TfR depende de proteasas vacuolares, lo cual implica que es degradado en el compartimento vacuolar. La degradación depende asimismo de condiciones favorables de transporte a este compartimento. El factor limitante del transporte parece ser la transición desde el RE a la membrana plasmática. La chaperona Cne1p, implicada en el control de calidad en el RE, juega un papel importante en la regulación de los niveles de TfR heterólogo, ya que la deleción de CNE1 provoca una acumulación significativa de la proteína. Se trata de la primera demostración de la implicación de CNE1 en la regulación de los niveles de proteínas de membrana heterólogas (AU)
