Endogenous Proteins

Exocrine cells have an essential function of sorting secreted proteins into the correct secretory pathway. A clear understanding of sorting in salivary glands would contribute to the correct targeting of therapeutic transgenes. The present work investigated whether there is a change in the relative proportions of basic proline-rich protein (PRP) and acidic PRPs in secretory granules in response to chronic isoproterenol treatment, and whether this alters the sorting of endogenous cargo proteins. Immunoblot analysis of secretory granules from rat parotids found a large increase of basic PRP over acidic PRPs in response to chronic isoproterenol treatment. Pulse chase experiments demonstrated that isoproterenol also decreased regulated secretion of newly synthesized secretory proteins, including PRPs, amylase and parotid secretory protein. This decreased efficiency of the apical regulated pathway may be mediated by alkalization of the secretory granules since it was reversed by treatment with mild acid. We also investigated changes in secretion through the basolateral (endocrine) pathways. A significant increase in parotid secretory protein and salivary amylase was detected in sera of isoproterenol-treated animals, suggesting increased routing of the regulated secretory proteins to the basolateral pathway. These studies demonstrate that shifts of endogenous proteins can modulate regulated secretion and sorting of cargo proteins.

Secretogranin I

We have investigated the sorting and packaging of secretory proteins into secretory granules by an immunological approach. An mAb against secretogranin I (chromogranin B), a secretory protein costored with various peptide hormones and neuropeptides in secretory granules of many endocrine cells and neurons, was expressed by microinjection of its mRNA into the secretogranin I-producing cell line PC12. An mAb against the G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus--i.e., against an antigen not present in PC12 cells--was expressed as a control. The intracellular localization and the secretion of the antibodies was studied by double-labeling immunofluorescence using the conventional and the confocal microscope, as well as by pulse-chase experiments. The secretogranin I antibody, like the control antibody, was transported along the secretory pathway to the Golgi complex. However, in contrast to the control antibody, which was secreted via the constitutive pathway, the secretogranin I antibody formed an immunocomplex with secretogranin I, was packaged into secretory granules, and was released by regulated exocytosis. Our results show that a constitutive secretory protein, unaltered by genetic engineering, can be diverted to the regulated pathway of secretion by its protein-protein interaction with a regulated secretory protein. The data also provide the basis for immunologically studying the role of luminally exposed protein domains in the biogenesis and function of regulated secretory vesicles.

Aggregation Assay

Some regulated secretory proteins are thought to be targeted to secretory granules through an acidic-dependent aggregation in the trans-Golgi network. In this report we use pancreatic zymogens, a paradigm of regulated proteins, to test this hypothesis, because they qualitatively aggregate upon acidification in vitro. Pig zymogens were found to start to aggregate significantly at pH ∼ 6.0, a pH slightly lower than that at which rat zymogens aggregate, but still compatible with the pH of the cell-sorting compartments. When pig zymogen granule membranes were mixed with the zymogens in the aggregation assay, membranes that normally floated on 1 M sucrose were observed to be pelleted by the aggregating zymogens. Rat membranes were pelleted by pig zymogens and vice versa. Igs, typical constitutively secreted proteins, which needed chemical cross-linking to serve as an aggregated protein control, pelleted membranes almost independently of pH. Corresponding cross-linked zymogen-binding ability and pH dependence was unaffected by the chemical modification. Membranes treated with sodium carbonate, pH 11, or with protease K, were still pelleted by zymogens, suggesting that the aggregated zymogens bound to membrane lipids. This hypothesis was confirmed by the efficient pelleting of unilamellar vesicles composed of granule membrane lipids. Vesicles composed of single classes of phospholipids were also pelleted, but with various efficacies. We conclude that pancreatic zymogen aggregates, formed under the acidic conditions of the secretory pathway sorting compartments, have the capacity to bind firmly to membranes through their phospholipid constituents.

Storage Granules

In the beta-cells of pancreatic islets, insulin is stored as the predominant protein within storage granules that undergo regulated exocytosis in response to glucose. By pulse-chase analysis of radiolabeled protein condensation in beta-cells, the formation of insoluble aggregates of regulated secretory protein lags behind the conversion of proinsulin to insulin. Condensation occurs within immature granules (IGs), accounting for passive protein sorting as demonstrated by constitutive-like secretion of newly synthesized C-peptide in stoichiometric excess of insulin (Kuliawat, R., and P. Arvan. J. Cell Biol. 1992. 118:521-529). Experimental manipulation of condensation conditions in vivo reveals a direct relationship between sorting of regulated secretory protein and polymer assembly within IGs. By contrast, entry from the trans-Golgi network into IGs does not appear especially selective for regulated secretory proteins. Specifically, in normal islets, lysosomal enzyme precursors enter the stimulus-dependent secretory pathway with comparable efficiency to that of proinsulin. However, within 2 h after synthesis (the same period during which proinsulin processing occurs), newly synthesized hydrolases are fairly efficiently relocated out of the stimulus-dependent pathway. In tunicamycin-treated islets, while entry of new lysosomal enzymes into the regulated secretory pathway continues unperturbed, exit of nonglycosylated hydrolases from this pathway does not occur. Consequently, the ultimate targeting of nonglycosylated hydrolases in beta-cells is to storage granules rather than lysosomes. These results implicate a post-Golgi mechanism for the active removal of lysosomal hydrolases away from condensed granule contents during the storage process for regulated secretory proteins.

Induced Aggregation

Low-pH- and calcium-induced aggregation of regulated secretory proteins has been proposed to play a role in their retention and storage in secretory granules. However, this has not been tested for secretory proteins that are stored in the exocrine parotid secretory granules. Parotid granule matrix proteins were analyzed for aggregation in the presence or absence of calcium and in the pH range of 5.5 to 7.5. Amylase did not aggregate under these conditions, although <10% of parotid secretory protein (PSP) aggregated below pH 6.0. To test aggregation directly in isolated granules, rat parotid secretory granules were permeabilized with 0.1% saponin in the presence or absence of calcium and in the pH range of 5.0 to 8.4. In contrast to the low-pH-dependent retention of amylase in exocrine pancreatic granules, amylase was quantitatively released and most PSP was released from parotid granules under all conditions. Both proteins were completely released upon granule membrane solubilization. Thus neither amylase nor PSP show low-pH- or calcium-induced aggregation under physiological conditions in the exocrine parotid secretory granules.

En route through the secretory pathway of neuroendocrine cells, prohormones pass a series of membrane-bounded compartments. During this transport, the prohormones are sorted to secretory granules and proteolytically cleaved to bioactive peptides. Recently, progress has been made in a number of aspects concerning secretory protein transport and sorting, particularly with respect to transport events in the early regions of the secretory pathway. In this review we will deal with some of these aspects, including: i) selective exit from the endoplasmic reticulum via COPII-coated vesicles and the potential role of p24 putative cargo receptors in this process, ii) cisternal maturation as an alternative model for protein transport through the Golgi complex, and iii) the mechanisms that may be involved in the sorting of regulated secretory proteins to secretory granules. Although much remains to be learned, interesting new insights into the functioning of the secretory pathway have been obtained.Key words: regulated secretory pathway, p24 family, vesicular transport, POMC, protein sorting, secretory granule, Xenopus laevis.

The regulated secretory pathway comprises accelerated discharge of proteins in response to hormonal stimuli, their presence in secretory granules (SG), and a long intracellular residence time. Dexamethasone induction of AR42J results in an increase in granule content and responsiveness to cholecystokinin (CCK). We studied the effects of conditions implicated in sorting of secretory proteins into the regulated pathway using [35S]methionine pulse-chase protocols that examine transport of secretory proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)----SG and specifically from the Golgi complex (GC)----SG. The latter uses a chase at 20 degrees C to allow accumulation of labeled proteins in the trans-Golgi, followed by a shift to 37 degrees C that initiates their transport to SG under test conditions. Quantitation of CCK-8-stimulated discharge of prestored amylase and of newly synthesized labeled proteins that have entered SG during the chase enables us to examine the effect of perturbants over selected parts of the pathway. The effects of acidic intracellular compartments, the cytoskeleton, protein synthesis, ATP, and temperature on pre- and post-Golgi entry of proteins into the regulated pathway were studied. NH4Cl, monensin, Na azide, incubation at 20 degrees C, and pertussis toxin retarded RER----SG transport without affecting amylase discharge. Only incubation with 20 mM NH4Cl or 1 microM monensin inhibited transfer of newly synthesized proteins from the late GC----SG. RER----Golgi or intra-Golgi transport thus appears to require ATP and possibly guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins. Acidic compartments appear to be essential for sorting of secretory proteins from the GC----SG.

A Cell

PC12 cells secrete the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) while at rest, and increase the overall rate of this secretion 2-fold upon depolarization. This behavior is different from the release of other markers by the constitutive or regulated secretory pathways in PC12 cells. Both the resting and stimulated release of AChE are unchanged after treatment with a membrane-impermeable esterase inhibitor, demonstrating that it represents true secretion and not shedding from the cell surface. The stimulation release of AChE is Ca(2+)-dependent, while the unstimulated release is not. Analysis of the molecular forms of AChE secreted by PC12 cells indicates that the release of AChE actually involves two concurrent but independent secretory processes, and that the G4 form of the enzyme is secreted constitutively, while both the G2 and G4 forms are secreted in a regulated manner, presumably from regulated secretory vesicles. Compared with other regulated secretory proteins, a much smaller fraction of cellular AChE is secreted, and the intracellular localization of this enzyme differs from that of other regulated secretory proteins. The demonstration that a cell line that exhibits regulated secretion of acetylcholine (ACh) is also capable of regulated secretion of AChE provides additional evidence for the existence of multiple regulated secretory pathways within a single cell. Moreover, there appears to be a selective packaging of different molecular forms of AChE into the regulated versus the constitutive secretory pathway. Both the specificity of sorting of AChE and the regulation of its secretion suggest that AChE may play a more dynamic role in synaptic function than has been recognized previously.

Secretory Products

Secretory granules are specialized intracellular organelles that serve as a storage pool for selected secretory products. The exocytosis of secretory granules is markedly amplified under physiologically stimulated conditions. While granules have been recognized as post-Golgi carriers for almost 40 years, the molecular mechanisms involved in their formation from the trans-Golgi network are only beginning to be defined. This review summarizes and evaluates current information about how secretory proteins are thought to be sorted for the regulated secretory pathway and how these activities are positioned with respect to other post-Golgi sorting events that must occur in parallel. In the first half of the review, the emerging role of immature secretory granules in protein sorting is highlighted. The second half of the review summarizes what is known about the composition of granule membranes. The numerous similarities and relatively limited differences identified between granule membranes and other vesicular carriers that convey products to and from the plasmalemma, serve as a basis for examining how granule membrane composition might be established and how its unique functions interface with general post-Golgi membrane traffic. Studies of granule formation in vitro offer additional new insights, but also important challenges for future efforts to understand how regulated secretory pathways are constructed and maintained.

Abstract Here we describe iSLET (in situ Secretory protein Labeling via ER-anchored TurboID) which labels secretory pathway proteins as they transit through the ER-lumen to enable dynamic tracking of tissue-specific secreted proteomes in vivo. We expressed iSLET in the mouse liver and demonstrated efficient in situ labeling of the liver-specific secreted proteome which could be tracked and identified within circulating blood plasma. iSLET is a versatile and powerful tool for studying spatiotemporal dynamics of secretory proteins, a valuable class of biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Cargo Proteins

Intracellular trafficking through the secretory organelles depends on transient interactions between cargo proteins and transport machinery. Cytosolic coat protein complexes capture specific luminal cargo proteins for incorporation into transport vesicles by interacting with them indirectly through a transmembrane adaptor or cargo receptor. Due to their transient nature, it is difficult to study these specific ternary protein interactions just using conventional native co-immunoprecipitation. To overcome this technical challenge, we have applied a crosslinking assay to stabilize the transient and/or weak protein interactions. Here, we describe a protocol of protein cross-linking and co-immunoprecipitation, which was employed to prove the indirect interaction in the endoplasmic reticulum of a luminal secretory protein with a selective subunit of the cytosolic COPII coat through a specific transmembrane cargo receptor. This method can be extended to address other transient ternary interactions between cytosolic proteins and luminal or extracellular proteins through a transmembrane receptor within the endomembrane system.
