We examined the effects of protein folding on
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-cytosol transport (dislocation) by
exploiting the well-characterized dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)
domain. DHFR retains the capacity to bind folate analogues in the lumen of microsomes and in the ER of intact cells, upon which it acquires a
conformation resistant to proteinase K digestion. Here we show that a
Class I major histocompatibility complex heavy chain fused to DHFR is
still recognized by the human cytomegalovirus-encoded glycoproteins US2
and US11, resulting in dislocation of the fusion protein from the ER
in vitro and in vivo. A folded state of the DHFR domain does not impair dislocation of Class I MHC heavy chains in vitro or in living cells. In fact, a slight acceleration
of the dislocation of DHFR heavy chain fusion was observed in
vitro in the presence of a folate analogue. These results suggest
that one or more of the channels used for dislocation can
accommodate polypeptides that contain a tightly folded domain of
considerable size. Our data raise the possibility that the Sec61
channel can be modified to accommodate a folded DHFR domain for
dislocation, but not for translocation into the ER, or that a channel
altogether distinct from Sec61 is used for dislocation.
