Abstract

Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae choose bud sites in a manner that is dependent upon cell type: a and alpha cells select axial sites: a/alpha cells utilize bipolar sites. Mutants specifically defective in axial budding were isolated from an a strain using pseudohyphal growth as an assay. We found that a and alpha mutants defective in the previously identified PMT4 gene exhibit unipolar, rather than axial budding: mother cells choose axial bud sites, but daughter cells do not. PMT4 encodes a protein mannosyl transferase (pmt) required for O-linked glycosylation of some secretory and cell surface proteins (Immervoll,T.. M. Gentzsch, and W. Tanner. 1995. Yeast. 11:1345-1351).We demonstrate that Ax12/Bud10p, which is required for the axial budding pattern, is an O-linked glycoprotein and is incompletely glycosylated, unstable, and mislocalized in cells lacking PMT4. Overexpression of AXL2 can partially restore proper bud-site selection to pmt4 mutants. These data indicate that Axl2/Bud10p is glycosylated by Pmt4p and that O-linked glycosylation increases Ax12/Bud10p activity in daughter cells, apparently by enhancing its stability and promoting its localization to the plasma membrane.
