Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cholera toxin (CT) is transported from the cell surface to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from where it is translocated to the cytosol in a process depending on ATP and luminal ER proteins. To test whether the molecular chaperone BiP (heavy chain binding protein), which is an ER-luminal ATPase, was one of the required proteins the export of CT was analyzed using ER-derived CT-loaded microsomes. The resubstitution of extracted export-incompetent microsomes with purified BiP was sufficient to restore the export of CT. As BiP protected CT from aggregation it is proposed that BiP maintains CT in a soluble, export-competent state.
