Abstract:
:We reported previously that Ca2+ depletion of Dictyostelium discoideum cells severely inhibits extracellular cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PD) synthesis at a post-transcriptional step. In this study, further experiments were performed to learn more about the nature of this phenomenon. Examination of the polysomal distribution of PD transcripts in control cells and in cells depleted of Ca2+ by incubation with EGTA and A23187 (EA) suggested that inhibition of PD production does not involve translational control. Kinetic analysis of this inhibitory process revealed that soluble, intracellular PD activity, synthesized from either the 2.4 or 1.9 kb PD mRNA, decreased very rapidly upon addition of EA. Furthermore, this decrease in activity was accompanied by the preferential loss of PD-related polypeptides, indicating a proteolytic event. EA-induced PD degradation required cellular energy and concomitant protein synthesis but was unaffected by most of the lysosomotropic agents tested. Therefore, PD proteolysis might not occur in the lysosome. In cell fractionation experiments, the EA-sensitive, intracellular PD activity comigrated with a rough ER marker in Percoll/KCl gradients. In addition to its effect on the PD, EA were also observed to inhibit production and rapidly lower the intracellular levels of another secreted glycoprotein, the PD inhibitor. Together, these results suggest that depletion of some intracellular Ca2+ store(s) in Dictyostelium, possibly the ER, disrupts the normal function of the secretory pathway, resulting in selective degradation of certain proteins.
