Intracellular traffic of the ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase NPP3 to the apical plasma membrane of MDCK and Caco-2 cells: apical targeting occurs in the absence of N-glycosylation

Glycosylation was considered the major signal candidate for apical targeting of transmembrane proteins in polarized epithelial cells. However, direct demonstration of the role of glycosylation has proved difficult because non-glycosylated apical transmembrane proteins usually do not reach the cell surface. Here we were able to follow the targeting of the apical transmembrane glycoprotein NPP3 both when glycosylated and non-glycosylated. Transfected in polarized MDCK and Caco-2 cells, NPP3 was exclusively expressed at the apical membrane. The transport kinetics of the protein to the cell surface were studied after metabolic (35)S-labeling and surface immunoprecipitation. The newly synthesized protein was mainly targeted directly to the apical surface in MDCK cells, whereas 50% transited through the basolateral surface in Caco-2 cells. In both cell types, the basolaterally targeted pool was effectively transcytosed to the apical surface. In the presence of tunicamycin, NPP3 was not N-glycosylated. The non-glycosylated protein was partially retained intracellularly but the fraction that reached the cell surface was nevertheless predominantly targeted apically. However, transcytosis of the non-glycosylated protein was partially impaired in MDCK cells. These results provide direct evidence that glycosylation cannot be considered an apical targeting signal for NPP3, although glycosylation is necessary for correct trafficking of the protein to the cell surface.
