The membrane domain of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase confers endoplasmic reticulum localization and sterol-regulated degradation onto beta-galactosidase
Abstract
A hybrid gene has been constructed consisting of coding sequence for the membrane domain of the endoplasmic reticulum protein 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase linked to the coding sequence for the soluble enzyme Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase. Expression of the hybrid gene in transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells results in the production of a fusion protein (HMGal) which is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. The fusion protein contains the high-mannose oligosaccharides characteristic of HMG-CoA reductase. Importantly the beta-galactosidase activity of HMGal decreases when low density lipoprotein is added to the culture media. Therefore, the membrane domain of HMG-CoA reductase is sufficient to determine both correct intracellular localization and sterol-regulation of degradation. Mutant fusion proteins which lack 64, 85, or 98 amino acid residues from within the membrane domain of HMG-CoA reductase are found to be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and to retain beta-galactosidase activity. However, sterol-regulation of degradation is abolished.
