Abstract

Endoproteolytic processing of the 26-kDa protein precursor prodynorphin (proDyn) at paired and single basic residues is most likely carried out by the proprotein convertases (PCs); however, the role of PCs at single basic residues is unclear. In previous studies we showed that limited proDyn processing by PC1/PC3 at both paired and single basic residues resulted in the formation of 8- and 10-kDa intermediates. Because PC2 is colocalized with proDyn, we examined the potential role of this convertase in cleaving proDyn. PC2 cleaved proDyn to produce dynorphin (Dyn) A 1-17, Dyn B 1-13, and alpha-neo-endorphin, without a previous requirement for PC1/PC3. PC2 also cleaved at single basic residues, resulting in the formation of the C-peptide and Dyn A 1-8. Only PC2, but not furin or PC1/PC3, could cleave the Arg-Pro bond to yield Dyn 1-8. Structure-activity studies with Dyn A 1-17 showed that a P4 Arg residue is important for single basic cleavage by PC2 and that the P1' Pro residue impedes processing. Conversion of Dyn A 1-17 or Dyn B 1-13 into leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk) by PC2 was never observed; however, Dyn AB 1-32 cleavage yielded small amounts of Leu-Enk, suggesting that Leu-Enk can be generated from the proDyn precursor only...Continue Reading
