Processing of membrane-bound transcription factors such as sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) and the ER-stress response factor ATF6, and glycoproteins of hemorrhagic fever viruses are initiated by the proprotein convertase SKI-1/S1P. So far, no cellular protein-based inhibitor of the hydrophobic-amino acid specific SKI-1 is known. The prosegment of the basic-amino acid specific convertases (e.g., furin and PC5) or a1-PDX, a variant of a1-antitrypsin (a1-AT) exhibiting an RIPR358 sequence at the reactive site loop, were shown to potently inhibit these secretory proteinases. Accordingly, we tested the SKI-1-inhibitory potential of various point mutants of either the 198 amino acid preprosegment of SKI-11-198 or a1-AT. Transient transfections data showed that, out of numerous mutants studied, the R134E prosegment mutant or the a1-AT reactive site loop variants RRVL358, RRYL358 and RRIL358 are the best specific cellular inhibitors of SKI-1. The observed inhibition of the processing of endogenous SREBP-2, exogenous ATF6 and a PDGF-A (RRLL86) variant were >55% and can reach ~80% in stable transfectants. We also show that SKI-1 forms SDS-stable complexes with these a1-AT variants, but not with wild type a1-AT or a1-PDX. Finally, these inhibitors were also shown to affect the processing and stability of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus glycoprotein.
