The -Glucuronidase Propeptide Contains a Serpin-related Octamer Necessary for Complex Formation with Egasyn Esterase and for Retention within the Endoplasmic Reticulum

Lida Zhen , Michael E. Rusiniak , Richard T. Swank

-Glucuronidase is retained within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via complex formation with esterase-22 (egasyn), which in turn has a COOH-terminal HTEL ER retention sequence. To identify the regions of glucuronidase that interact with egasyn, complex formation was assayed in COS cells cotransfected with egasyn cDNA and with either deletion constructs of glucuronidase or with constructs containing specific glucuronidase propeptide sequences appended to the carboxyl terminus of a rat secretory protein 1-acid glycoprotein. The region of glucuronidase essential for complex formation is a linear octamer sequence at the COOH terminus of the propeptide. A portion of this octamer is similar to a sequence near the reactive site of serpins. This and associated data indicate that an interaction related to that between serine proteinases and their serpin inhibitors retains -glucuronidase within the ER. Further, attachment of this octamer sequence provides an alternative method of targeting proteins to the ER lumen of any cell that contains egasyn. These and related results demonstrate that complex formation with esterases/proteinases within the ER is important in the subcellular targeting and/or processing of certain proteins.
