A signal sequence is sufficient for green fluorescent protein to be routed to regulated secretory granules.
To investigate trafficking in neuroendocrine cells, green fluorescent protein (GFP) tags were fused to various portions of the preproneuropeptide Y (NPY) precursor. Two neuroendocrine cell lines, AtT-20 corticotrope tumor cells and PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells, along with primary anterior pituitary cells, were examined. Expression of chimeric constructs did not disrupt trafficking or regulated ...
متن کاملlntracellular Sorting of Macromolecules
Introduction In neuroendocrine cells there are at least two pathways by which proteins can exit the cell: the regulated secretory pathway and the constitutive secretory pathway [ 13. In the regulated secretory pathway proteins are condensed into dense-cored secretory vesicles where they may be stored for several hours before their secretion is stimulated by a specific secretagogue. This storage...
متن کاملCarboxypeptidase E Is a Regulated Secretory Pathway Sorting Receptor: Genetic Obliteration Leads to Endocrine Disorders in Cpefat Mice
A proposed mechanism for sorting secretory proteins into granules for release via the regulated secretory pathway in endocrine-neuroendocrine cells involves binding the proteins to a sorting receptor at the trans-Golgi network, followed by budding and granule formation. We have identified such a sorting receptor as membrane-associated carboxypeptidase E (CPE) in pituitary Golgi-enriched and sec...
متن کاملChromogranin A, an “On/Off” Switch Controlling Dense-Core Secretory Granule Biogenesis
We present evidence that regulation of dense-core secretory granule biogenesis and hormone secretion in endocrine cells is dependent on chromogranin A (CGA). Downregulation of CGA expression in a neuroendocrine cell line, PC12, by antisense RNAs led to profound loss of dense-core secretory granules, impairment of regulated secretion of a transfected prohormone, and reduction of secretory granul...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel sorting determinant for the regulated pathway in the secretory protein chromogranin A.
Chromogranin A (CgA) is the index member of the chromogranin/secretogranin (or 'granin') family of regulated secretory proteins that are ubiquitously distributed in amine- and peptide-containing secretory granules of endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuronal cells. Because of their abundance and such widespread occurrence, granins have often been used as prototype proteins to elucidate mechanisms ...
متن کاملRNAi screen identifies a role for adaptor protein AP-3 in sorting to the regulated secretory pathway
The regulated release of proteins depends on their inclusion within large dense-core vesicles (LDCVs) capable of regulated exocytosis. LDCVs form at the trans-Golgi network (TGN), but the mechanism for protein sorting to this regulated secretory pathway (RSP) and the cytosolic machinery involved in this process have remained poorly understood. Using an RNA interference screen in Drosophila mela...
