الوصف: Progression of GPI-anchored proteins in bloodstream African trypanosomes correlates with GPI-valence: homodimeric VSG (2 GPI) is a surface protein; heterodimeric transferrin receptor (1 GPI) localizes in the flagellar pocket; homodimeric GPI-minus VSG (0 GPI) is rapidly degraded in the lysosome. We test this relationship using three native secretory/endocytic proteins as monomeric GPI-plus and -minus reporters. GPI-minus procyclin trafficks to the lysosome and is degraded. GPI-plus procyclin trafficks to the flagellar pocket/cell surface and is released (∼50%) with an intact anchor, the remainder (∼50%) is degraded in the lysosome. GPI-plus BiPNHP, derived from the ER marker BiP, is released quantitatively (>80%), while GPI-plus p67HP, derived from the lysosomal marker p67, turns over by both release (∼15%) and lysosomal degradation (>50%). Turnover of endogenous transferrin receptor occurs primarily by lysosomal degradation (>90%). Thus shedding of monovalent GPI reporters correlates inversely with lysosomal targeting. We propose that mono-GPI reporters cycle through the flagellar pocket and endosome until they are disposed of by either shedding or lysosomal targeting. Partitioning between these fates may be a function of individual physical properties. Release is likely due to the exclusive use of C-14:0 myristate in the bloodstream stage GPI anchor. Up-regulation of transferrin receptor by culture in dog serum resulted in prominent cell surface localization, but not in elevated release. Surface receptor was non-functional for ligand binding suggesting that it may be bivalent homodimers of the GPI-anchored ESAG6 receptor subunit.
