Proteolytic processing of the transforming growth factor
precursor (pro-TGF ) is an essential step in the formation of the
biologically active TGF homodimeric protein (TGF ). The
361-amino-acid precursor pro-TGF 1 has within its primary structure
the R-H-R-R processing signal found in many constitutively secreted
precursor proteins and potentially recognized by members of the
mammalian convertase family of endoproteases. To determine whether
cleavage of pro-TGF 1 can be achieved by the furin convertase
in vitro, purified precursor was incubated in the presence of
a truncated/secreted form of the enzyme. Immunoblots showed that the
55-kDa pro-TGF 1 was converted into the 44 and 12.5 kDa bands
corresponding to the pro-region and the mature monomer, respectively.
Treatment of pro-TGF 1 with furin resulted in a 5-fold increase in
the production of biologically active TGF 1. Furthermore, when
expressed in the furin-deficient LoVo cells, no processing of
pro-TGF 1 was observed. In contrast, efficient processing was
oberved when pro-TGF was coexpressed with the furin convertase.
Collectively, these results provide evidence that in our experimental
systems the TGF 1 precursor is efficiently and correctly processed
by human furin thus permitting release of the biologically active
peptide.
