RESUMO
Sec12p is a membrane glycoprotein required for the formation of a vesicular intermediate in protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Comparison of the N-linked glycosylation of Sec12p, a Sec12p-invertase hybrid protein, and a derivative of Sec12p lacking 71 carboxy-terminal amino acids showed that Sec12p is a type II membrane protein. Analysis of two truncated forms of Sec12p and of a temperature-sensitive mutant indicated that the C-terminal domain of Sec12p is not essential for protein transport, whereas the integrity and membrane attachment of the cytoplasmic N-terminal domain are essential. Expression of a soluble cytoplasmic domain dramatically inhibited the growth of a sec12 temperature-sensitive strain by increasing the transport defect at a normally permissive temperature. This growth inhibition as well as the sec12 temperature-sensitive defect were suppressed by the overproduction of Sar1p, a small GTP-binding protein that participates in protein transport. Sar1p membrane association was enhanced by elevated levels of Sec12p. These results suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of Sec12p interacts with Sar1p and that the complex may function to promote vesicle formation.
