The ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperone GRP78 (78 kDa glucose-regulated protein) generally localizes to the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). GRP78 is specifically induced in cells under the UPR (unfolded protein response), which can be elicited by treatments with calcium ionophore A23187 and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor TG (thapsigargin). By using confocal microscopy, we have demonstrated that GRP78 was concentrated in the perinuclear region and co-localized with the ER marker proteins, calnexin and PDI (protein disulphide-isomerase), in cells under normal growth conditions. However, treatments with A23187 and TG led to diminish its ER targeting, resulting in redirection into a cytoplasmic vesicular pattern, and overlapping with the mitochondrial marker MitoTracker. Cellular fractionation and protease digestion of isolated mitochondria from ER-stressed cells suggested that a significant portion of GRP78 is localized to the mitochondria and is protease-resistant. Localizations of GRP78 in ER and mitochondria were confirmed by using immunoelectron microscopy. In ER-stressed cells, GRP78 mainly localized within the mitochondria and decorated the mitochondrial membrane compartment. Submitochondrial fractionation studies indicated further that the mitochondria-resided GRP78 is mainly located in the intermembrane space, inner membrane and matrix, but is not associated with the outer membrane. Furthermore, radioactive labelling followed by subcellular fractionation showed that a significant portion of the newly synthesized GRP78 is localized to the mitochondria in cells under UPR. Taken together, our results indicate that, at least under certain circumstances, the ER-resided chaperone GRP78 can be retargeted to mitochondria and thereby may be involved in correlating UPR signalling between these two organelles.

Misfolded growth hormone causes fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus and disrupts endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi traffic

In some individuals with autosomal dominant isolated growth hormone deficiency, one copy of growth hormone lacks amino acids 32-71 and is severely misfolded. We transfected COS7 cells with either wild-type human growth hormone or Δ32-71 growth hormone and investigated subcellular localization of growth hormone and other proteins. Δ32-71 growth hormone was retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas wild-type hormone accumulated in the Golgi apparatus. When cells transfected with wild-type or Δ32-71 growth hormone were dually stained for growth hormone and the Golgi markers β-COP, membrin or 58K, wild-type growth hormone was colocalized with the Golgi markers, but β-COP, membrin and 58K immunoreactivity was highly dispersed or undetectable in cells expressing Δ32-71 growth hormone. Examination of α-tubulin immunostaining showed that the cytoplasmic microtubular arrangement was normal in cells expressing wild-type growth hormone, but microtubule-organizing centers were absent in nearly all cells expressing Δ32-71 growth hormone. To determine whether Δ32-71 growth hormone would alter trafficking of a plasma membrane protein, we cotransfected the cells with the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptor and either wild-type or Δ32-71 growth hormone. Cells expressing Δ32-71 growth hormone, unlike those expressing wild-type growth hormone, failed to show normal TRH receptor localization or binding. Expression of Δ32-71 growth hormone also disrupted the trafficking of two secretory proteins, prolactin and secreted alkaline phosphatase. Δ32-71 growth hormone only weakly elicited the unfolded protein response as indicated by induction of BiP mRNA. Pharmacological induction of the unfolded protein response partially prevented deletion mutant-induced Golgi fragmentation and partially restored normal TRH receptor trafficking. The ability of some misfolded proteins to block endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi traffic may explain their toxic effects on host cells and suggests possible strategies for therapeutic interventions.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a multifunctional organelle responsible for production of both lumenal and membrane components of secretory pathway compartments. Secretory proteins are folded, processed, and sorted in the ER lumen and lipid synthesis occurs on the ER membrane itself. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, synthesis of ER components is highly regulated: the ER-resident proteins by the unfolded protein response and membrane lipid synthesis by the inositol response. We demonstrate that these two responses are intimately linked, forming different branches of the same pathway. Furthermore, we present evidence indicating that this coordinate regulation plays a role in ER biogenesis.
