Biosynthesis of surfactant protein C (SP-C). Sorting of SP-C proprotein involves homomeric association via a signal anchor domain

Abstract

Rat surfactant protein C (SP-C) is synthesized as a 194-amino acid propeptide (SP-C-(1-194)) that is directed to the distal secretory pathway and proteolytically processed as an integral membrane protein to yield its mature form. We had shown previously that trafficking of proSP-C is mediated both by a signal anchor domain contained within the mature SP-C sequence and by a targeting domain in the NH(2)-flanking propeptide. Based on evidence from other integral membrane proteins, we hypothesized that proSP-C targeting is effected by oligomerization of proSP-C monomers. To evaluate this in vitro, cDNA constructs encoding for either wild type proSP-C (pcDNA3/SP-C-(1-194)) or heterologous fusion proteins containing green fluorescent protein (EGFP) linked to SP-C-(1-194) (EGFP/SP-C-(1-194)), to mutant proSP-C lacking the NH(2) targeting domain (EGFP/SP-C-(24-194)), or to mature SP-C alone (EGFP/SP-C-(24-58)) were produced. In transfected A549 cells, fluorescence microscopy revealed that pcDNA3/SP-C-(1-194) and EGFP/SP-C-(1-194) were each expressed in CD63 (+), EEA1 (-) cytoplasmic vesicles. Expression of EGFP/SP-C-(24-194) or EGFP/SP-C-(24-58) resulted in translocation but retention in early compartments. When co-transfected with pc...Continue Reading
