Abstract

The structures of the eukaryotic subtilisin protease family members can be divided into four distinct domains as follows: the proregion, the catalytic domain, the P domain, and the carboxyl-terminal region. Although these enzymes are evolutionarily related, only prohormone convertase 2 (PC2) requires 7B2 for activation. To examine the potential contribution of each domain of PC2 to PC2-7B2 interactions, we performed sequential deletions, site-directed mutagenesis, and domain swapping to replace individual domains or particular amino acids of pro-PC2 with the corresponding segments/amino acids of pro-PC1. These chimeras and mutant enzyme molecules were then expressed in AtT-20 cells and analyzed for 7B2 binding, maturation ability, and enzymatic activity. The results revealed that 1) the PC2 proregion is required but is not sufficient to confer 7B2 binding; 2) the P domain is required for the stabilization of PC2 structure and is not exchangeable with the P domain of PC1; and 3) the carboxyl-terminal domain is not involved in 7B2 binding. Site-directed mutagenesis of pro-PC2 further showed that a single residue replacement in the catalytic domain, Tyr-194 --> Asp, prevented pro-PC2 from binding 7B2 and blocked activation.
