The acquisition of the correct folding of membrane proteins is a crucial process that involves several steps from the recognition of nascent protein, its targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, its insertion, and its sorting to its final destination. Yarrowia lipolytica is a hemiascomycetous dimorphic yeast and an alternative eukaryotic yeast model with an efficient secretion pathway. To better understand the quality control of membrane proteins, we constructed a model system based on the uracil permease. Mutated forms of the permease were stabilized and retained in the cell and made the strains resistant to the 5-fluorouracil drug. To identify proteins involved in the quality control, we separated proteins extracted in nondenaturing conditions on blue native gels to keep proteins associated in complexes. Some gel fragments where the model protein was immunodetected were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. The proteins identified gave a picture of the folding proteome, from the translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, the folding of the proteins, to the vesicle transport to Golgi or the degradation via the proteasome. For example, EMC complex, Gsf2p or Yet3p, chaperone membrane proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum were identified in the Y. lipolytica native proteome.

Introduction Secreted and membrane proteins acquire their native structure in the endoplasmic reticulum, and their correct folding requires molecular chaperones. The quality-control systems enable that only the native proteins follow their route through the secretory pathway (see refs 1-3 for reviews). Proteins that are not able to be correctly folded or assembled or some regulated proteins are degraded by the cytoplasmic ubiquitinproteasome system through a pathway called endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD) (reviewed in refs 4-6). This pathway protects the cell from endoplasmic reticulum stress, cellular dysfunction, and death.7 Yarrowia lipolytica is a hemiascomycetous dimorphic yeast with an efficient secretion pathway that is, in several aspects, close to the mammalian one.8 Study of Y. lipolytica specificities can bring complementary knowledge to the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae studies. For example, the cotranslational translocation of secreted proteins through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane is preferred in Y. lipolytica,9 the calnexin cycle, that plays a role in glycosylated protein folding, is present * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

in Y. lipolytica10 and Y. lipolytica has multiple membrane ubiquitin ligases that tag the proteins to degrade.11 To better understand the quality control of membrane proteins, we constructed a model system based on the uracil permease (YlFur4p). A three-amino acid insertion in a cytoplasmic loop of the S. cerevisiae uracil permease makes the protein an ERAD substrate.12 We introduced this mutation and two other mutations unexpectedly obtained in YlFur4p, and a C-terminal Myc-tag was added. We followed the protein through several assays: 5-fluorouracil sensitivity, protein stability, and immunofluorescence. To identify proteins involved in the quality control, we separated protein extracted in nondenaturing conditions and analyzed the native proteome.

Experimental Procedures Strains and Growth Conditions. Escherichia coli strain DH5alpha (F′/endA1 hsdR17 (rK- mK+) supE44 thi-1 recA1 gyrA (Nalr) relA1 ∆(lacIZYA-argF) U169deoR (φ80dlac∆(lacZ)M15) was used as host strain for bacterial transformations and plasmid propagation. The Y. lipolytica strain INAG136463 (MatB, scr1::ADE1, SCR2, his-1, leu-2, ura3) transformed with p0 plasmid13 cut by NcoI to become URA+ was used as recipient wild type strain. Escherichia coli cells were grown in LB medium (1% bactotryptone, 1% yeast extract, 0.5% NaCl), 50 µg/mL ampicillin, 28 °C. Yarrowia lipolytica cells were cultivated on rich YPD Journal of Proteome Research 2010, 9, 6169–6179 6169 Published on Web 10/18/2010

research articles medium (1% yeast extract, 1% bactopeptone, 1% glucose), 28 °C or minimal YNB medium (0.67% yeast nitrogen base without amino acids (Difco laboratories)), 2% glucose as carbon source, 0.1% proline as nitrogen source, 50 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.8, with amino acids required, 28 °C. Plasmids. Plasmid p013 was used as a vector for the constructions of the Y. lipolytica integrative plasmids. A BamHIEcoRI fragment containing 13 repetitions of the c-myc epitope from pINA300′-cmyc11 was inserted in p0. The HinDIII-BamHI fragment was replaced by the pBR322 fragment to insert a NheI site. The URA3 marker was replaced by the NcoI-NheI fragment from pINA240 (plasmid pBR322 with Y. lipolytica LEU2 and ARS18, unpublished data) containing LEU2 gene. YlFUR4 gene (YALI0D05621g, Genolevures Web site: http://www.genolevures.org) was amplified by PCR on genomic DNA from Y. lipolytica INAG136463 with the couple of oligonucleotides A (A: 5′CTA GCTATTNheI TCGAGGTCGCCCGCCAGA3′)andD(D:5′CGGGATCCBamHI G GGAGATAATGGCGGTTGTCTT3′), and the NheIBamHI fragment was cloned in frame with the c-myc epitope. After integration in the Y. lipolytica genome, we had a tagged copy of the gene under the control of its native promoter and a truncated copy in tandem. The insertion of Asn-Gly-Thr aminoacids between Met392 and Thr393 in a cytoplasmic loop was introduced by amplifying the gene with the couples of oligonucleotides A-B (B: 5′GTCG AATATTSspI GATGTACTTGGGCAGCAGCGCGGT GGTT ACCG GTTN CATGTCTGTGCCTGC3′) and C-D (C: 5′GCTGCCCAAGTACATC AATATTSspI 3′). Unexpected mutations were obtained during gene amplification or cloning, in potential transmembrane segments, TGC codon (aminoacid L323), which became GGC (aminoacid P323, P mutation), and the codon CTG (aminoacid C409), which became CCG (aminoacid G409, G mutation). The three mutations were separated or combined by subcloning wild type fragments and mutated fragments using SalI, BglI, SspI and BamHI restriction sites. DNA Techniques. Standard techniques have been used according to Sambrook et al.14 Enzymes were supplied by New England Biolabs. All vectors were checked by sequencing by Genome express (France). Transformation and Screening Procedures. The E. coli strains were transformed with the method of Chung and Miller.15Yarrowia lipolytica strain transformations were carried out according to Xuan et al.16 The integrative plasmids were introduced in Y. lipolytica after SalI restriction. Clones were screened by dot blot. Protein extracts were prepared by alkaline lysis of the cells as described in Volland et al.17 Five microliters of the extracts were dropped onto nitrocellulose membrane (Schleicher & Schuell), and positive clones were selected by immunodetection with anti-myc polyclonal antibody (Sigma). Extracts from these clones were analyzed on 10% acrylamide SDS-PAGE.18 Proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane followed by immunodetection with anti-myc polyclonal antibody. Positive clones were sequenced. Sensitivity to 5-Fluorouracil. Cells were grown in YPD medium. Five microliter droplets of serial dilutions (OD600 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001) of exponentially growing cultures of each strain were inoculated on the surface of YNB plates containing 2.5 µM 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (Sigma). Results were obtained after 2 days of incubation at 28 °C. Hygromycin B Decay Experiment. Cells were grown in YPD medium, 100 µg/mL hygromycin B (Sigma) was added, and cells were collected at indicated time.

Swennen et al. saline buffer (PBS), 10% glycerol, antiprotease cocktail (Roche), and glass beads (protein concentration was estimated with Bradford assay (Biorad)). Extracts were analyzed on 10% acrylamide SDS-PAGE18 or 10% acrylamide Tris-HEPES-SDS gels (Pierce Biotechnology) (protein standard was Precision plus protein standards from Biorad). Proteins were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane followed by immunodetection with anti-myc polyclonal antibodies or monoclonal antibodies against S. cerevisiae phosphoglycerate kinase-3 (PGK) (InVitrogen) for the primary antibodies and alkaline phophate antirabbit or anti-mouse antibodies as the secondary antibodies (Promega). Detection was done with BCIP/NBT color substrate as indicated by the manufacturer (Promega). Immunofluorescence. Cells were grown in YPD medium to an OD600 of 1-3. Cells were fixed by addition of 3.7% formaldehyde (Sigma). Cells were collected by centrifugation and incubated for 2 h at room temperature in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 6.5, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 3.7% formaldehyde. Cells were suspended in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.5 containing 1.2 M sorbitol, 25 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1 mg/mL Zymolyase 20T (Seikagaku), and 2 mg/mL Cytohelicase (Sigma) for 35 min at 37 °C. After three washes in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.5, 1.2 M sorbitol, cells were subjected to immunofluorescence. Fifteen microliters of cell suspension were put in wells of Teflon slides (Fisher Scientific) pretreated with 1 mg/mL polylysine (Sigma). Cells were blocked with 15 µL of PBS with 0.5% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% Nonidet P40 for 15 min. After PBS washes, cells were incubated with a 1:300 dilution of anti-myc monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or anti-Kar2 polyclonal antibodies (the C-terminal fragment of Y. lipolytica Kar2p from aminoacid 555 until the end of the protein was used to immunize rabbits; Beckerich, J.-M., unpublished data) for 1 h followed by PBS washes. Fifteen microliters of a 1:300 dilution of Alexafluor 488-anti-rabbit antibodies and Alexafluor 595anti-mouse antibodies (InVitrogen) were added. After PBS washing, cells were treated with 2 µg/mL 4,6-diamidino-2phenylindole (DAPI) and immediately washed with H2O. Slides were mounted with one drop of 1 mg/mL p-phenylenediamine, 10% PBS pH 9, 90% glycerol. Slides were observed with a fluorescence microscope (Olympus BX51) equipped with a 100x objective. Images were acquired with an EXI Retiga camera (QImaging) and equally processed with Image Pro Express software. (Color composite: red, green, blue or merge coloration. Brightness: 50. Contrast: 60.

The second gel was stained with EZBlue (Sigma), and protein complexes were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) (PAPPSO, INRA, France). LC-MS/MS Analysis. In-gel digestion was performed with the Progest system (Genomic Solution) according to a standard trypsin protocol. Gel pieces were washed twice by successive separate baths of 10% acetic acid, 40% ethanol, and acetonitrile (ACN). They were then washed twice with successive baths of 25 mM NH4CO3 and ACN. Gels were dried and reduction with 10 mM Dithithreitol in 25 mM NH4HCO3, and alkylation with 55 mM iodoacetamide in 25 mM NH4HCO3 was performed. Digestion was subsequently performed for 6 h at 37 °C with 125 ng of modified trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 20% methanol and 20 mM NH4CO3. The peptides were extracted successively with 2% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and 50% ACN and then with ACN. Peptide extracts were dried in a vacuum centrifuge and suspended in 20 µL of 0.05% TFA, 0.05% HCOOH, and 2% ACN. HPLC was performed on an Ultimate 3000 LC system (Dionex). A 4 µL sample was loaded at 20 µL/min on a precolumn cartridge (stationary phase: C18 PepMap 100, 5 µm. column: 300 µm i.d., 5 mm; Dionex) and desalted with 0.08% TFA and 2% ACN. After 4 min, the precolumn cartridge was connected to the separating PepMap C18 column (stationary phase: C18 PepMap 100, 3 µm. column: 75 µm i.d., 150 mm; Dionex). Buffers were 0.1% HCOOH, 2% ACN (A) and 0.1% HCOOH and 80% ACN (B). The peptide separation was achieved with a linear gradient from 0 to 36% B for 18 min at 300 nL/min. Including the regeneration step at 100% B and the equilibration step at 100% A, one run took 50 or 145 min. Eluted peptides were analyzed online with a LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Electron) using a nanoelectrospray interface. Ionization (1.3 kV ionization potential) was performed with liquid junction and a capillary probe (10 µm i.d.; New Objective). Peptide ions were analyzed using Xcalibur 2.07 with the following data-dependent acquisition steps: (1) full MS scan in orbitrap (mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) 300 to 1600, profil mode) and (2) MS/MS in linear trap (qz ) 0.25, activation time ) 30 ms, and collision energy ) 45%; centroid mode). Step 2 was repeated for the four major ions detected in step 1. Dynamic exclusion time was set to 90 s. A database search was performed with XTandem 2008.02.01 (http://www.thegpm.org/TANDEM/). Enzymatic cleavage was declared as a trypsin digestion with one possible misscleavage. Cys carboxyamidomethylation and Met oxidation were set to static and possible modifications, respectively. Precursor mass and fragment mass tolerance were 10 ppm and 0.5 Da, respectively. A refinement search was added with similar parameters except that semitrypsic peptide and possible N-ter proteins acetylation were searched. Few databases were used: the Y. lypolytica strain CLIB122 database (6448 entries, version 2008/09/10 from http://www.genolevures.org/download.html), contaminant database (trypsin, keratins, ...). Only peptides with a E value smaller than 0.1 were reported. Identified proteins were filtered according to (1) a minimum of two different peptides was required with a E value smaller than 0.05, (2) a protein E value smaller than 10-4. In the case of identification with only two or three MS/MS spectra, similarity between the experimental and the theoretical MS/ MS spectra was visually checked. All contaminants proteins were removed.

Results Yarrowia lipolytica Uracil Permease. The Y. lipolytica gene YALI0D05621g codes for a 592 aminoacids protein homologous to the S. cerevisiae uracil permease. The protein alignment (Supplemental Figure 1 in Supporting Information) shows the conservation of the sequences of S. cerevisiae uracil permease, allantoin permease, uridine permease, Y. lipolytica uracil permease, and Schizosacchromyces pombe uracil permease and, especially, the conservation of the lysine residue of S. cerevisiae (K272) and Y. lipolytica (K237) proteins, which is essential for uracil binding and translocation.23 The insertion of three aminoacids (NGT) after the M429 residue of S. cerevisiae uracil permease makes the protein an ERAD substrate.12 We inserted these three aminoacids after the M392 residue (NGT insertion) in Y. lipolytica protein and during the cloning two other mutations were unexpectedly selected. The first one was a L323P323 mutation (P mutation) and the second was a C409-G409 mutation (G mutation) (Figure 1). As these mutations were located in potential transmembrane domains as predicted from the topology of S. cerevisiae uracil permease21 and from the prediction of transmembrane helices (TMHMM Server 2.0), we decided to analyze them. These three mutations alone or mixed (NGT, P, G, P-G, P-NGT-G) in the protein were studied. To follow the protein, we added a 13-myc tag on the C-terminal side of the protein (YlFur4p-Myc).

Droplets (5 µL) of serial dilutions (OD600 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001) of exponential growing cultures of each strain were inoculated on the surface of YNB plates with or without 2.5 µM 5-fluorouracil. Results were obtained after 2 days of incubation at 28 °C.

Figure 3. Hygromycin B chase of the wild type YlFur4p-Myc. Cells were grown in YPD medium, 100 µg/mL hygromycin B was added, and cells were collected at the indicated time. Proteins from 1.5 OD600 unit culture were NaOH/TCA extracted and were loaded on a 10% acrylamide gel. Anti-myc polyclonal antibody for YlFur4p-Myc (Fur4p) immunodetection or monoclonal antibody against S. cerevisiae phosphoglycerate kinase-3 for YlPgk1p (Pgk1p) detection were used for the Western blot analysis.

5-Fluorouracil Sensitivity. The YlFur4p-Myc is also the permease of the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) drug. A 5-FU sensitivity assay is a sensor of the correct uracil permease targeting. A permease retained in the cell makes the strain resistant to the drug. The results (Figure 2) indicated that the wild type permease and the permease with the G mutation are targeted to the plasma membrane and made the cells sensitive to 5-FU. The G mutation probably does not modify the three-dimensional structure of the protein nor its activity, but the cells retained the permease with the NGT insertion, the P mutation, and combination of the mutations and were resistant to 5-FU, indicating that these mutations were enough to block the targeting of the protein. Permease Stability Assay. To evaluate the turnover of the proteins, their synthesis is blocked by a protein synthesis inhibitor such as cycloheximide and the pool of the protein is studied versus time. Yarrowia lipolytica is resistant to cycloheximide (data not shown). To follow the stability of the proteins, we incubated the cells with hygromycin B, which interferes with protein synthesis.24 Three hours after the addition of hygromycin B, the wild type permease was nearly completely degraded (Figure 3). YlFur4p-Myc with the G mutation is degraded as rapidly as the wild type protein, whereas the proteins with the other mutations are stabilized, suggesting that these last one are not degraded in the vacuole and are retained a longer time in a compartment not accessible to the proteasome (Figure 4). YlFur4p-Myc Localization. Immunofluorescence allowed us to distinguish the targeting of the permease to the plasma membrane or its retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (Figure 5). As suggested by the 5-FU sensitivity assay and the protein stability assay, the wild type permease and the per6172

mease with the G mutation are targeted to the plasma membrane and did not colocalize with the Kar2p protein, a chaperone protein of the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, whereas the permease with the other mutations is retained in the cells and colocalized with the endoplasmic reticulum protein, Kar2p. This retention was not continuous in the endoplasmic reticulum but seemed localized in distinct adjacent patches suggesting subregions specialized in ERAD. Identification of Protein Involved in Quality Control. To identify protein playing a role in the quality control of the YlFur4p-Myc protein, we extracted the proteins in non denaturing conditions in the presence of 1% digitonin to keep membrane protein complexes associated with soluble protein partners. These complexes were separated on a blue native gel (Figure 6). We selected three gel fragments where the model protein was immunodetected and analyzed the native proteome by LC-MS/MS. The total number of different proteins identified was 517 (Supplemental Table 1 in Supporting Information). Among these proteins, 22% were involved in translation, 25% in respiration and other mitochondrial functions, 15% in metabolism, 15% in protein folding and secretion, 10% in other functions, and 13% in unknown functions. Twenty-six percent of the proteins are potential membrane proteins as deduced from the prediction of transmembrane helices (TMHMM Server 2.0), and 34% are probably associated with a complex by analogy to S. cerevisiae proteins (Saccharomyces Genome Database: http://www.yeastgenome.org/). Proteins playing a potential role in the transport and the folding of membrane proteins are listed in Table 1 and Supplemental Table 2 in Supporting Information.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Translocation. Translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane is the first step in the biogenesis of secreted and membrane protein. This translocation can occur cotranslationally or post-translationally (reviewed in ref 25). In S. cerevisiae, the proteins are preferentially translocated post-translationally through a Sec complex comprising the heterotrimecic Sec61 complex (Sec61p, Sbh1p, Sss1p), the tetrameric Sec62-Sec63 complex (Sec62p, Sec63p, Sec71p, Sec72p), and the luminal Hsp70 chaperone Kar2p. In cotranslational translocation, the signal sequence or the transmembrane domain is recognized by the signal recognition particle (SRP), which slows translation and targets the ribosome-nascent chain complex to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane through the interaction with its receptor (the SRP receptor). Then the ribosome interacts with the translocating channel and the Sec61 complex, and the translocation occurs. Both the Hsp70 chaperone Kar2p and the Hsp40 cochaperone Sec63p are involved in cotranslational translocation.26,27 In mammalian cells, Sec62p and Sec63p were found associated with Sec61Rp.28,29 In Y. lipolytica30 as in mammals, the cotranslational translocation is preferred, and 70-80% of the Y. lipolytica Sec61 complex has been found in association with ribosomes.31 In the native proteome, we identified the Sec61p, Sbh1p, Sec62p, and Sec63p. This translocation complex could be associated with a second Hsp40 co-chaperone Erjp as in the mammals.32,33 One SRP receptor subunit and two subunits of the signal sequence peptidase complex were also detected.

their degradation. The Hsp70 chaperones are members of a well-conserved protein family that bind to short hydrophobic patterns of unfolded proteins and are regulated by Hsp40 cochaperone (DnaJ family) and nucleotide exchange factors (ref 34 and references therein and ref 35). Three Hsp70 Ssa proteins were identified in the fragments of the native proteome. Their pleiotropic activities in protein folding and transport though slight specificities36 could explain their association with different complexes. The ribosome associated Hsp70 Ssb1 and Ssz137,38 were also detected in the fragments. Several Hsp90 were identified: Hsp104p,39 Sti1p40 that interact with Ssap, and Hsp82 that docks preprotein to the mitochondrion.41 The nucleotide exchange factor Hsp110: Sse1p42 and the Hsp90 cochaperone Sba1p43 were also detected. Endoplasmic Reticulum Chaperones. The chaperones of the endoplasmic reticulum lumen assist the folding of secreted proteins (reviewed in refs 44-46). As soon as the protein translocates, the oligosaccharyltransferase complex adds an N-linked oligosaccharide, which is, after the removal of terminal glucose by glucosidases leaving one glucose residue, recognized by the calnexin (Cne1p), the lectin-like chaperone that facilitates the correct folding of the protein with the protein disulfide isomerase (Pdip) favoring disulfide bond formation. After removal of the last glucose residue, the protein continues its route to its destination. If its correct folding is not acquired, the unfolded protein is recognized by UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (Ugt1p), which adds a glucose to the N-linked glycan. The monoglucosylated peptide re-enters the calnexin cycle. This folding cycle, which does not exist in S. cerevisiae, is present in Y. lipolytica10 as in higher eukaryotes. Yarrowia lipolytica calnexin Cne1p, detected in the proteome, is known to interact with the translocon subunit Sbh1p.47 Journal of Proteome Research • Vol. 9, No. 12, 2010 6173

Protein disulfide isomerase Pdi1p, the membrane Pdi1phomologue Eps1p,48 and UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase Ugt1p were also detected. Four subunits of the oligosaccharyltransferase complex were identified. Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Chaperones. The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC1-EMC6) was identified in S. cerevisiae as playing a role in the folding of membrane proteins.49 In the native proteome of Y. lipolytica, four subunits of the EMC complex were identified. No homologue of the S. cerevisiae Emc5p was found in Y. lipolytica, and Emc6p (YALI0A21010g) was not detected in the native proteome. In S. cerevisiae, the endoplasmic reticulum membrane chaperone Gsf2p enables the correct folding of the hexose transporters.50 This chaperone could have a similar role in Yarrowia lipolytica.

Yet3p, which was also identified in the native proteome, is homologous to the mammalian Bap31p. Human Bap31p is an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein that cycles between the endoplasmic reticulum and a compartment intermediate between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi; its traffic is dependent on vesicular transport and is associated with new synthesized membrane proteins whose fate (secretion or degradation) depends on Bap31p.51-54 Retrotranslocation. We identified the translocon Sec61p homologue, Ssh1p, which could be associated with Sbh1p and with the SRP receptor subunit. In S. cerevisiae, Ssh1p was identified in a heterotrimeric complex dedicated to cotranslational translocation and dislocation for endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation, and it was associated with the SRP Journal of Proteome Research • Vol. 9, No. 12, 2010 6175

receptor. The Y. lipolytica Ssh1p could be involved in retrotranslocation of ubiquitylated proteins. Ubiquitylation. After their recognition by the quality control system, the misfolded proteins are ubiquitylated. Ubiquitylation begins by the ATP-dependent activation of ubiquitin by the ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1. Ubiquitin is then transferred through a transesterification reaction to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, and the ubiquitin protein ligase E3 ubiquitylates the targeted substrate. The ubiquitylated proteins are dislocated from the endoplasmic reticulum with the aid of the Cdc48p-Ufd1p-Npl4p complex and are degraded by the proteasome. In S. cerevisiae, two endoplasmic reticulum E3 complexes, HRD1 and DOA10, have been involved in ERAD (reviewed in refs 58-60). The HRD1 and the DOA10 complexes were not identified in the native proteome, but the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme Uba1p and one deubiquitylating enzyme Bre5p were detected. Bre5p, in association with Ubp3p (which was not detected in the proteome), plays a role in anterograde and retrograde endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi traffic.61 Proteasomal Targeting. From the tethering complex Cdc48pUfd1p-Npl4p to the proteasome, only the cytosolic AAA-ATPase Cdc48p was identified in all gel fragments and was more abundant in the fragment 3 where are found the catalytic subunits of the proteasome. Proteasome. The 26S proteasome is composed of two subparticles, the 20S proteolytic particle and the 19S regulatory particle, and catalyzes the degradation of most nucleus or cytosol proteins.62 An ATP-dependent cycle of assembly and disassembly of the particles regulates protein degradation.63 The 19S regulatory particle can also function alone in regulation of transcription.64,65 In the native proteome of Y. lipolytica, the subunits of the catalytic particle of the proteasome have been identified in the gel fragment 3. The proteins of the regulatory particle were not detected. Endoplasmic Reticulum-Golgi Transport. Anterograde and retrograde transport from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi are mediated, respectively, by COPII and COPI vesicles (reviewed in ref 66). COPII coat proteins were detected in the three fragments collected. The heterodimer Sec23p/Sec24p, the Sec31p subunit of the heterotetramer composed of Sec13p/ Sec31p, which forms the outer layer coat, and the regulatory G protein Sar1p were detected, but the Sar1p guanine exchange factor Sec12p or the stabilization factor Sec16p were not identified. Cargo receptors were also present: the transmembrane proteins of the p24 family, Erp1p, Erp2p, Emp24p, and Erv25p, which function together in a heteromeric complex;67 Emp47p, with a lectin-like carbohydrate recognition domain, a cargo receptor for exporting N-linked glycoproteins from the endoplasmic reticulum68 (EMP46, coding for the homologue protein and partner complex of Emp47p was not identified in Y. lipolytica genome); and Erv46p but not Erv41p (YALI0A17600g), the complex that influences the membrane fusion stage of transport.69 Sec21p, Sec26p, and Ret1p, coat proteins of the COPI vesicles, were detected in gel fragments. Uso1p (see ref 70 for a review about tethering factors) was also identified in the proteome, a coiled-coil protein that plays a role in vesicle tethering between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. The mammalian homologue p115 and S. cerevisiae Uso1p have been shown to tether COPII vesicles, and p115 has also been found associated with COPI vesicles. Yarrowia lipolytica Uso1p could have a potential role in retrieval of mutant membrane protein to the endoplasmic reticulum 6176

Swennen et al. through COPI vesicles in a post-endoplasmic reticulum quality control mechanism. YlFur4p Is Immunodetected in Early Steps of Its Secretion. The membrane enriched fraction was solubilized with digitonin and separated on a native gel. Only 5 distinct bands could be detected on the native gel, whereas the majority of the proteins had a diffuse migration (Figure 6). The immunodetection with the anti-myc antibody allowed the identification of gel fragments where YlFur4p was concentrated (Figure 6). In the Y. lipolytica strain containing the wild type permease, YlFur4p was more concentrated in gel fragment 2 where the endoplasmic reticulum translocation complex was detected but also where the membrane protein folding EMC complex and three endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins playing a role in glycosylation were identified. In the strains containing the mutant permeases, YlFur4p was concentrated in the gel fragment 2 but also in the gel fragment 1 in which neither the folding EMC complex nor the glycosylation proteins were detected but two proteins of the ubiquitylation machinery were identified. In these strains, the mutant permeases were also concentrated in the gel fragment 3 perhaps because of their association with the proteasome catalytic subunits, whereas the wild type permease could be associated in gel fragment 3 with the oligosaccharyltransferase complex or the endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi glycosylation proteins.

Discussion Yarrowia lipolytica is an alternative eukaryotic yeast model that has a secretion pathway closer to the mammalian one than S. cerevisiae.8 The acquisition of the correct folding of membrane proteins is a crucial process that involves several steps from the recognition of nascent protein, its targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, its insertion, and its sorting to its final destination. Many molecular chaperones from the cytosol, the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, or lumen assist the folding of the proteins, control their folding, and direct them to degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway if they are unable to acquire the correct native structure. To analyze the protein machineries involved in membrane protein folding and secretion, in a yeast close to mammalian cells, we constructed a model polytopic membrane protein, the uracil permease, in which mutations were introduced or not and a C-terminal 13-Myc tag was added to follow the protein. The advantage of the uracil permease as a model protein is the 5-FU sensitivity assay, which is a sensitive sensor of the target of the protein to the cell surface. A retained protein will make the cells resistant to the drug, which is the case for the strains containing the mutated forms (-NGT, -P, and combined mutations) of YlFur4p-Myc. These results were confirmed with the stability assay and the immunolocalization of the proteins. These three assays indicated that YlFur4p-Myc was an efficient model protein to analyze the folding and secretion of membrane proteins. To obtain knowledge about proteins involved in these processes, we analyzed the membrane enriched native proteome after migration on a blue native gel. We selected three gel fragments where YlFur4p-Myc was immunodetected. The gel fragments were analyzed by LC-MS/MS, and 517 different proteins were identified; 15% of them were involved in protein folding and secretion and particularly in the early steps of the protein secretion. The proteomic analysis of microsome enriched fraction of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger71 allowed the identification of 1081 proteins; 14% (148 proteins)

Folding Proteome of Yarrowia lipolytica were involved in the early steps of protein folding and secretion. Among these 148 proteins, 56 proteins were the same as those identified in Y. lipolytica proteome. We selected the proteins that could potentially play a role in the folding and transport of membrane proteins. We obtained a dynamic picture of the folding proteome, from the translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, the folding of the proteins to the vesicle transport to Golgi, or the degradation via the proteasome. The comparison of the same strain containing a wild type protein or the mutant proteins showed different patterns of immunodetection. The wild type permease was mostly immunodetected in one fragment where the translocon, membrane chaperone, and protein from the endoplasmic reticulum glycosylation process were identified, whereas the mutant proteins were also associated with other fragments in which ubiquitylation proteins or proteasome subunits were detected. This could reflect a longer association of the mutant permeases with these complexes. The translocation machinery that has been detected in the Y. lipolytica proteome could be composed of the heterotrimeric complex (Sec61p, Sbh1p, Sss1p), the heterodimer Sec62p/ Sec63p, and one endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, ErJp, containing a DnaJ domain. This translocon, which looks like the mammalian one,72 could be involved in cotranslational translocation of secreted proteins and integration of membrane proteins. A great number of chaperone proteins have been detected from both sides of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and some membrane proteins potentially participate in the folding. The EMC complex, Gsf2p or Yet3p, the homologue of mammalian Bap31p are potentially involved in Y. lipolytica membrane protein fate. The Cdc48 protein, the major subunit of the tethering complex to the proteasome, and catalytic subunits of the proteasome were also present in the Y. lipolytica proteome. Associated in the fragments where YlFur4p-Myc was immunodetected, we could identify coat subunits and several cargo receptors of the COPII and COPI vesicles responsible for the traffic between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, suggesting a competition between degradation and secretion of proteins.73 In the microsome enriched fraction of Aspergillus niger71 COPII, COPI, and the proteasome subunits were also recruited to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Proteins that could be involved in retrotranslocation from the endoplasmic reticulum for proteasomal degradation are the Sec61p homologue Ssh1p associated with the SRP receptor and the membrane chaperone Yet3p.53 The endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation HRD1 and DOA10 complexes described in S. cerevisiae were not detected in the Y. lipolytica proteome. We could hypothesize that the nondenaturing extraction method, the solubilization of the membranes with digitonin, and the migration in a native gel kept these complexes too compact to be accessible to the trypsin digestion and escaped the analysis or these complexes migrated in another gel fragment. For YlFur4p, the concentration was perhaps too low to be detected. We have limited our analysis of the native proteome in the folding and transport of protein, but we probably could have enlarged our picture to the translasome as described in Schizosaccharomyces pombe74 where the translation initiation factor eiF3 assembles in a supercomplex containing elongation factors, tRNA synthetases, 40S and 60S ribosomal proteins, chaperones, proteasome, ribosome biogenesis factors, and importin β. All of these proteins have been identified in the Y. lipolytica native proteome.

In conclusion, we have constructed a model to study the fate of a polytopic membrane protein from its translation to its final destination. We showed that the separation of digitonin solubilized membrane on a blue native gel and the LC-MS/MS analysis of the immuno-targeted protein complexes could bring knowledge on this complex and dynamic process.
