Abstract
Cells infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus, ts045, or transfected with the plasmid vector pdTM12 produce mutant forms of the G protein that remain within the ER. The mutant G proteins were isolated by immunoprecipitation from cells metabolically labeled with [2-3H]mannose to facilitate analysis of the protein-linked oligosaccharides. The 3H-labeled glycopeptides recovered from the immunoprecipitated G proteins contained high mannose-type oligosaccharides. Structural analysis, however, indicated that 60-78% of the 3H-mannose-labeled oligosaccharides contained a single glucose residue and no fewer than eight mannose residues. The 3H-labeled ts045 oligosaccharides were deglucosylated and processed to complex-type units after the infected cells were returned to the permissive temperature. When shifted to the permissive temperature in the presence of a proton ionophore, the G protein oligosaccharides were deglucosylated but remained as high mannose-type units. The glucosylated state was observed, therefore, when the G protein existed in an altered conformation. The ts045 G protein oligosaccharides were deglucosylated in vitro by glucosidase II at both the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. G protein isolated from ts045-infected cells labeled with [6-3H]galactose in the presence of cycloheximide contained 3H-glucose-labeled monoglucosylated oligosaccharides, indicating that the high mannose oligosaccharides were glucosylated in a posttranslational process. These results suggest that aberrant G proteins are selectively modified by resident ER enzymes to retain monoglucosylated oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) 5B4 recognizes in the rat a large, developmentally regulated membrane glycoprotein. The larger form of this antigen (185-255 kD) occurs in the developing nervous system and is present in membranes of nerve growth cones, as determined by analysis of a growth cone particle fraction. An immunochemical characterization of this antigen and of a smaller form (140 kD), sparsely present in the mature nervous system, has been described (Ellis, L., I. Wallis, E. Abreu, and K. H. Pfenninger, 1985, J. Cell. Biol., 101:1977-1989). The present paper reports on the localization by immunofluorescence of 5B4 antigen in cultured cortical neurons, developing spinal cord, and the mature olfactory system. In culture, mAb 5B4 stains only neurons; it is sparsely present in neurons at the onset of sprouting while, during sprouting, it appears to be concentrated at the growth cone and in regions of the perikaryon. In the developing spinal cord, 5B4 labeling is faintly detectable on embryonic day 11 but is intense on fetal day 13. At this stage, the fluorescence is observed in regions of the cord where axonal growth is occurring, while areas composed of dividing or migrating neural cells are nonfluorescent. With maturation of the spinal cord, this basic pattern of fluorescence persists initially, but the staining intensity decreases dramatically. In the adult, faint fluorescence is detectable only in gray matter, presumably indicating the presence of the 140 kD rather than the fetal antigen. The only known structure of the adult mammalian nervous system where axonal growth normally occurs is the olfactory nerve. mAb 5B4 intensely stains a variable proportion of olfactory axons in the mucosa as well as in the olfactory bulb. Based on both immunochemical and immunofluorescence data, the 5B4 antigen of 185-255 kD is associated specifically with growing neurons, i.e., neurons that are generating neurites.
