RESUMO
Transfer of spheroplasts from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to glucose leads to the activation of an endogenous (glycosyl)-phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C ([G]PI-PLC), which cleaves the anchor of at least one glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-binding ectoprotein Gce1p (G. Müller and W. Bandlow, J. Cell Biol. 122:325-336, 1993). Analyses of the turnover of two constituents of the anchor, myo-inositol and ethanolamine, relative to the protein label as well as separation of the two differently processed versions of Gce1p by isoelectric focusing in spheroplasts demonstrate the glucose-induced conversion of amphiphilic Gce1p first into a lipolytically cleaved hydrophilic intermediate, which is then processed into another hydrophilic version lacking both myo-inositol and ethanolamine. When incubated with unlabeled spheroplasts, the lipolytically cleaved intermediate prepared in vitro is converted into the version lacking all anchor constituents, whereby the anchor glycan is apparently removed as a whole. The secondary cleavage ensues independently of the carbon source, attributing the key role in glucose-induced anchor processing to the endogenous (G)PI-PLC. The secondary processing of the lipolytically cleaved intermediate of Gce1p at the plasma membrane is correlated with the emergence of a covalently linked high-molecular-weight form of a cAMP-binding protein at the cell wall. This protein lacks anchor components, and its protein moiety appears to be identical with double-processed Gce1p detectable at the plasma membrane in spheroplasts. The data suggest that glucose-induced double processing of GPI anchors represents part of a mechanism of regulated cell wall expression of proteins in yeast cells.
