Golgi/granule processing of peptide hormone and neuropeptide precursors: a minireview.

Abstract：

:Proteolytic processing of precursor proteins is a phylogenetically ancient and widely used mechanism for producing biologically active peptides. Proteolytic cleavage of proproteins begins only after transport to the Golgi apparatus has been completed and in most systems may continue for many hours within newly formed secretory vesicles as these are stored in the cytosol or transported along axons to more peripheral sites of release. Paired basic residues are required for efficient proteolysis in most precursors, suggesting that a small number of specialized tryptic proteases exist that have great site selectivity but can process many sites within the same precursor or in different precursors within the same cell, or in different cells or tissues. Cleavage-site choice may be strongly influenced by other factors, such as secondary and tertiary structure, but definitive structural information on precursor proteins is lacking. Modifications such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sulfation also are Golgi associated but are not known to influence proteolytic processing patterns. Golgi/granule processing also rarely occurs at sites other than pairs of basic amino acids, including single basic residues ( trypsinlike ), Leu-Ala, Leu-Ser, or Tyr-Ala bonds ( chymotrysinlike ) as well as other specialized nontryptic cleavages, suggesting that mixtures of proteases coexist in the Golgi/granule system. Cathepsin B-like thiol proteases, or their precursors, have been implicated as the major processing endopeptidases in several systems. Carboxypeptidase B-like enzymes also have been identified in secretion granules in several tissues and appear to be metalloenzymes similar in mechanism to the pancreatic carboxypeptidases, but with a lower pH optimum. The role of the Golgi apparatus in sorting newly formed secreted products from lysosomal hydrolases may have permitted the development in evolution of an intimate relationship between certain of the lysosomal degradative enzymes, such as cathepsin B or its precursors, and the Golgi/granule processing systems. The sequestration of the proteolytic products of precursors within secretion granules leads to the coordinate discharge of highly complex mixtures of peptides having related or overlapping biological activities. The cosecretion of nonfunctional peptide " leftovers ," such as the proinsulin C-peptide, can serve as useful markers of secretion or cellular localization, as well as of evolutionary relation ships. Errors in cleavage due to point mutations in precursors have been identified in several systems, leading to the accumulation of incorrectly processed materials in the circulation.
