Function and Properties of Chimeric MPR 46-MPR 300 Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptors^*

Ute Sandholzer, Kurt von Figura, and Regina Pohlmann^§¶

From the  Georg-August-Universität, Abt. Biochemie II, Gosslerstrasse 12d, 37075 Göttingen and the ^§ Institut für Physiologische Chemie und Pathobiochemie, Waldeyerstrasse 15, 48149 Münster, Germany

The two known mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPR 46 and MPR 300) mediate the transport of mannose 6-phosphate-containing lysosomal proteins to lysosomes. Endocytosis of extracellular mannose 6-phosphate ligands can only be mediated by MPR 300. Neither type of MPR appears to be sufficient for targetting the full complement of lysosomal enzymes to lysosomes. The complements of lysosomal enzymes transported by either of the two receptors are distinct but largely overlapping. Chimeric receptors were constructed in which the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the two receptors were systematically exchanged. After expression of the chimeric receptors in cells lacking endogenous MPRs the binding of ligands, the subcellular distribution and the sorting efficiency for lysosomal enzymes were analyzed. All chimeras were functional, and their subcellular distribution was similar to that of wild type MPRs. The ability to endocytose lysosomal enzymes was restricted to receptors with the lumenal domain of MPR 300. The efficiency to sort lysosomal enzymes correlated with the lumenal and cytoplasmic domains of MPR 300. In contrast to the wild type receptors, a significant fraction of most of the chimeric receptors was misrouted to lysosomes, indicating that the signals determining the routing of MPRs have been fitted for the parent receptor polypeptides.
