Pathways involved in targeting and secretion of a lysosomal enzyme in Dictyostelium discoideum
Abstract
In Dictyostelium discoideum, the lysosomal enzyme alpha-mannosidase is first synthesized as an N-glycosylated precursor of Mr 140,000. After a 20-30-min lag period, up to 30% of the precursor molecules are rapidly secreted, whereas the rest remain cellular and are proteolytically processed (t 1/2 = 8 min) to mature subunits of Mr 58,000 and 60,000. The secreted precursor is modified more extensively than the cellular form, as is revealed by differences in size, charge, and sensitivity to endoglycosidase H. Subcellular fractionation has shown that, following synthesis in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the precursor is transported to a low density membrane fraction that contains Golgi membranes. Proteolytic processing takes place in these vesicles, since newly cleaved mature enzyme, but no precursor, co-fractionates with lysosomes. Under conditions that disrupt vesicular membranes, the precursor remains associated with the membrane fraction, whereas the newly processed mature enzyme is soluble. Proteolytic cleavage of the precursor thus coincides with the release of the mature enzyme into the lumen of a lysosomal compartment. These findings suggest a possible mechanism for lysosomal targeting that involves the specific association of enzyme precursors with Golgi membranes.
