Myeloperoxidase biosynthesis by a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line:
insight into myeloperoxidase deficiency
WM Nauseef
The biosynthesis and processing of myeloperoxidase (MPO), a cationic enzyme
present in the azurophilic granules of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes
(PMNs), were studied in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60.
HL-60 cells produce large quantities of enzymatically active MPO that has
the same electrophoretic behavior as MPO isolated from normal PMNs. Mature
MPO is a glycoprotein of approximately 150,000 molecular weight (mol wt)
composed of two heavy-light protomers (alpha 2 beta 2) with subunits of
59,000 and 13,500 mol wt, respectively, under reducing conditions. The
primary translation product of MPO messenger RNA (mRNA) isolated from HL-60
cells was a single polypeptide of mol wt 80,000. In HL-60 cells labeled
with [35S]-methionine, the labeled MPO isolated by immunoprecipitation had
a mol wt of 89,000. Treatment of this 89-kilodalton (kDa) species with
endoglycosidase H produced a 79-kDa peptide, suggesting that the 89-kDa
protein contained high-mannose side chains. The 89-kDa species had no
detectable peroxidase activity. During chase experiments some of the 89-kDa
peptide was processed to smaller species of mol wt 39,000, 59,000, and
13,500, although a fraction of the 89-kDa peptide remained unprocessed
after a chase of 100 hours. In addition, a small amount of the 89-kDa
peptide appeared in the medium without any of the processed smaller
peptides. These studies suggest that the primary translation product in MPO
biosynthesis is an 80-kDa peptide that undergoes cotranslational cleavage
of the signal peptide and glycosylation to produce an 89-kDa pro-MPO, that
pro-MPO is a single polypeptide containing the alpha and beta subunits of
MPO and contains endoglycosidase H-susceptible high- mannose side chains,
and that posttranslational modification of pro-MPO results in targeting to
the lysosome and proteolytic maturation of pro- MPO to active enzyme. In
light of the previous observation that MPO- deficient and normal PMNs
contain an 89-kDa protein immunochemically related to MPO, these studies on
MPO biosynthesis indirectly support the hypothesis that defective
posttranslation processing by pro-MPO may underlie hereditary MPO
deficiency.
