Prohormone convertase 1 (PC1) processing and sorting: effect of PC1 propeptide and proSAAS.
Prohormone convertase 1 (PC1) is a serine proteinase responsible for the proteolytic processing of many precursor proteins within the regulated secretory pathway. The activity of PC1 is potentially regulated by two endogenous inhibitors, the PC1 propeptide and proSAAS. Here we have investigated the effect of proSAAS and propeptide-containing constructs on PC1 carboxy-terminal processing and act...
متن کاملDeficiency in prohormone convertase PC1 impairs prohormone processing in Prader-Willi syndrome.
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by a loss of paternally expressed genes in an imprinted region of chromosome 15q. Among the canonical PWS phenotypes are hyperphagic obesity, central hypogonadism, and low growth hormone (GH). Rare microdeletions in PWS patients define a 91-kb minimum critical deletion region encompassing 3 genes, including the noncoding RNA gene SNORD116. Here, we found th...
متن کاملRegulation of prohormone convertase 1 (PC1) by thyroid hormone.
The prohormone convertases (PCs) PC1 and PC2 are key enzymes capable of processing a variety of prohormones to their bioactive forms. In this study, we demonstrated that 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU)-induced hypothyroidism stimulated, whereas triido-L-thyronine (T(3))-induced hyperthyroidism suppressed, PC1 mRNA levels in the rat anterior pituitary. Using 5' deletions of the human PC1 (hPC1) pr...
متن کاملTwo activation states of the prohormone convertase PC1 in the secretory pathway.
PC1, a neuroendocrine member of the prohormone convertase family of serine proteinases, is implicated in the processing of proproteins in the secretory pathway. PC1 is synthesized as a zymogen and cleaves not only its own profragment in the endoplasmic reticulum, but a subset of protein substrates in the Golgi apparatus and in the Golgi-distal compartments of the regulated secretory pathway. Li...
متن کاملA switch from prohormone convertase (PC)-2 to PC1/3 expression in transplanted alpha-cells is accompanied by differential processing of proglucagon and improved glucose homeostasis in mice.
OBJECTIVE Glucagon, which raises blood glucose levels by stimulating hepatic glucose production, is produced in alpha-cells via cleavage of proglucagon by prohormone convertase (PC)-2. In the enteroendocrine L-cell, proglucagon is differentially processed by the alternate enzyme PC1/3 to yield glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, GLP-2, and oxyntomodulin, which have blood glucose-lowering effects. We...
