Proteolytic processing of surfactant
protein C (SP-C) proprotein in multivesicular bodies of alveolar type
II cells results in a 35-residue mature peptide, consisting of a
transmembrane domain and a 10-residue extramembrane domain. SP-C mature
peptide is stored in lamellar bodies (a lysosomal-like organelle) and secreted with surfactant phopholipids into the alveolar space. This
study was designed to identify the peptide domain of SP-C required for
sorting and secretion of this integral membrane peptide. Deletion
analyses in transiently transfected PC12 cells and isolated mouse type
II cells suggested the extramembrane domain of mature SP-C was
cytosolic and sufficient for sorting to the regulated secretory
pathway. Intratracheal injection of adenovirus encoding SP-C mature
peptide resulted in secretion into the alveolar space of wild type
mice but not SP-C ( / ) mice. SP-C secretion in null mice was
restored by the addition of the N-terminal propeptide. The cytosolic
domain, consisting of the N- terminal propeptide and extramembrane
domain of mature SP-C peptide, supported secretion of the
transmembrane domain of platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
Collectively, these studies indicate that the N-terminal propeptide of
SP-C is required for intracellular sorting and secretion of SP-C.
