• W1978371780 abstract "Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a polyprotein which is targeted to the regulated secretory pathway of neuroendocrine cells where it undergoes tissue-specific proteolysis to yield peptides such as adrenocorticotropic hormone, β-Iipotropin and β-endorphin. The pro-region of POMC is 49 amino acid long with two disulfide bonds between cysteine residues 2 and 24 and 8 and 20. These cysteine residues are conserved across the species. The pro-region contains no known hormonal sequence. Sorting to the regulated secretory pathway is thought to involve targeting signals encoded in the structure of secretory proteins. In the present study, we have examined the possibility that the disulfide bridges located in the NH2-terminal portion of the pro-region of POMC are essential for maintaining a determinant involved in the sorting of POMC to the regulated secretory pathway. Using site-directed and deletion mutagenesis of the porcine POMC cDNA, we created mutants in which one or both disulfide bridges were disrupted or in which the first 26 amino acid residues of the pro-region were deleted. Recombinant retroviruses carrying the mutated POMC cDNAs were used to infect Neuro2A cells. Immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy studies performed on infected cells revealed that the unmutated and mutated POMC-immunoreactive peptides were localized in dense-core vesicles at the tips of cellular extensions. Analysis of the POMC-immunoreactive peptides extracted from the infected Neuro2A cells indicated that the mutated precursors in which one disulfide bridge was disrupted (POMC-S2 or POMC-S8) were stored and processed as efficiently as the unmutated POMC. By contrast, the mutated precursor in which both disulfide bridges were disrupted (POMC-S2, 8) did not accumulate in intracellular compartments to the same extent as unmutated POMC. Moreover, this mutant was very inefficiently processed and no release could be observed upon stimulation of the cells with K+/Ca2+. These results suggest that POMC-S2,8 entered the regulated secretory pathway less efficiently than the unmutated precursor. However, when both disulfide bridges were removed from the precursor by deletion of the first 26 amino acid residues of POMC, the truncated precursor (POMCΔ1–26) behaved as the unmutated POMC. Taken together our results indicate that the NH2-terminal portion of the pro-region including both disulfide bridges can be deleted without affecting the targeting of the molecule to secretory granules. However, when the entire POMC sequence is expressed in Neuro2A cells, the proper folding of the NH2-terminal region might be important for efficient processing and targeting." @default.
