Five novel peptides were identified in the brains of mice lacking
active carboxypeptidase E, a neuropeptide-processing enzyme. These
peptides are produced from a single precursor, termed proSAAS, which is
present in human, mouse, and rat. ProSAAS mRNA is expressed primarily
in brain and other neuroendocrine tissues (pituitary, adrenal,
pancreas); within brain, the mRNA is broadly distributed among neurons.
When expressed in AtT-20 cells, proSAAS is secreted via the regulated
pathway and is also processed at paired-basic cleavage sites into
smaller peptides. Overexpression of proSAAS in the AtT-20 cells
substantially reduces the rate of processing of the endogenous
prohormone proopiomelanocortin. Purified proSAAS inhibits prohormone
convertase 1 activity with an IC50 of 590 nM
but does not inhibit prohormone convertase 2. Taken together, proSAAS
may represent an endogenous inhibitor of prohormone convertase 1.
Key words:
carboxypeptidase E; prohormone convertase; 7B2; secretogranin; chromogranin; neuropeptide
