title: SS33410, an inhibitor for inflammation, blocks the intracellular transport of VSV G glycoprotein in BHK cells.
abstract: We have studied the effect of SS33410, an inhibitor for inflammation, on the intracellular transport and processing of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G glycoprotein as a model integral membrane protein. Delivery of G glycoprotein to the cell surface was blocked by 0.5 microgram/ml of SS33410 without any significant inhibition of protein synthesis. The G glycoprotein accumulated intracellularly electrophoresed a little faster than the control mature one excreted to the medium. The affinity for concanavalin A-agarose (Con-A) column suggested that most of the G glycoprotein oligosaccharides were of the high-mannose type. These results indicate that processing of N-glycosidic oligosaccharide is incomplete, suggesting that intracellular trafficking is arrested before reaching to the trans Golgi compartments in the presence of SS33410.
