Intracellular transport and processing of lysosomal cathepsin B

Abstract:
Intracellular transport and processing of lysosomal cathepsin B was investigated in the subcellular fractions of rat liver by pulse-labeling experiments with [35S]methionine in vivo. A newly synthesized procathepsin B with a molecular weight of 39 kDa firstly appeared in the rough microsomal fraction at 10 min postinjection of label. This procathepsin B moved from the microsomal fractions to the Golgi subfractions at 30 min postinjection, and then a processed mature enzyme appeared in the lysosomal fraction at 60 min. These results suggest that the propeptide-processing of procathepsin B takes place in lysosomes in the course of intracellular transport from endoplasmic reticulum through Golgi complex to lysosomes.

Endocytosis
Endocytosis always begins with the plasma membrane enclosing an incoming molecule to form a transport vesicle which, in some cases, can be coated with a protein called ‘clathrin.' Endocytosed material is either sorted through...
Introduction to Membrane Traffic
The transport of soluble and membrane proteins is mediated by transport vesicles that collect cargo from one cellular compartment and deliver it to another by fusing with the target organelle membrane. The Rab...
