Chromogranins are a family of regulated
secretory proteins that are stored in secretory granules in endocrine
and neuroendocrine cells and released in response to extracellular
stimulation (regulated secretion). A conserved N-terminal disulfide
bond is necessary for sorting of chromogranins in neuroendocrine PC12
cells. Surprisingly, this disulfide bond is not necessary for sorting
of chromogranins in endocrine GH4C1 cells. To investigate the sorting
mechanism in GH4C1 cells, we made several mutant forms removing highly
conserved N- and C-terminal regions of bovine chromogranin A. Removing
the conserved N-terminal disulfide bond and the conserved C-terminal dimerization and tetramerization domain did not affect the sorting of
chromogranin A to the regulated secretory pathway. In contrast, removing the C-terminal 90 amino acids of chromogranin A caused rerouting to the constitutive secretory pathway and impaired
aggregation properties as compared with wild-type chromogranin A. Since
this mutant was sorted to the regulated secretory pathway in PC12
cells, these results demonstrate that chromogranins contain independent N- and C-terminal sorting domains that function in a cell type-specific manner. Moreover, this is the first evidence that low
pH/calcium-induced aggregation is necessary for sorting of a
chromogranin to the regulated secretory pathway of endocrine cells.
