RETENTION of resident proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum is achieved in both yeast and animal cells by their continual retrieval from thecis-Golgi, or a pre-Golgi compartment1–3. Sorting of these proteins is dependent on a C-terminal tetrapeptide signal, usually Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL in the single letter code) in animal cells, His-Asp-Glu-Leu (HDEL) inSac-charomyces cerevisiae2,4,5. There is evidence that theERD2gene encodes the sorting receptor that recognizes HDEL in yeast6,7; its product is an integral membrane protein of relative molecular mass 26,000 (26K) that is not glycosylated. In contrast, Vauxet al.8suggest that the mammalian KDEL receptor is a 72K gly-coprotein that they detected using an anti-idiotypic antibody approach. If this were so, it would indicate a surprising divergence of the retrieval machinery between yeast and animal cells. We report here that human cells express a protein similar in sequence, size and properties to theERD2product, and propose that this protein is the human KDEL receptor.
