Abstract:
:Dictyostelium discoideum secretes a number of lysosomal enzymes during axenic growth and upon suspension in a low ionic strength, non-nutrient buffer (standard secretion conditions). These secretory characteristics have allowed us to identify 74 lysosomal enzyme secretory mutants generated by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. The majority of these mutants fell into one of four classes, on the basis of their secretory characteristics in non-nutrient buffer. The four mutant classes indicate that a minimum of three distinct sets of genes are necessary for proper secretion of lysosomal enzymes from D. discoideum cells under standard secretion conditions: one set of genes that is involved in general lysosomal enzyme secretion, one that is involved in glycosidase type secretion, and a third that is involved in acid phosphatase type secretion. These three classes likely reflect heterogeneity in the intracellular destination of lysosomal enzymes, the secretory mechanism, or both. A fourth set of genes may be necessary for proper secretion during growth, but plays no role under standard secretion conditions. These are likely altered in the regulation of secretion or in lysosomal enzyme targeting. Of the 74 secretory mutants, 36 were also modification mutants resulting in decreased pI, thermolability, or in vivo instability of lysosomal enzyme activities. The high frequency of modification mutants indicates an integral relationship between lysosomal enzyme modification, and lysosomal enzyme targeting and secretion in D. discoideum.
