| Abstract | Recently, two different prohormone-processing enzymes, prohormone convertase 1 (PC1) and carboxypeptidase E, have been implicated in enhancing the storage of peptide hormones in endocrine secretory granules. It is important to know the extent to which such molecules may act as “sorting receptors” to allow the selective trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network into forming granules, versus acting as enzymes that may indirectly facilitate intraluminal storage of processed hormones within maturing granules. GH4C1 cells primarily store prolactin in granules; they lack PC1 and are defective for intragranular storage of transfected proinsulin. However, proinsulin readily enters the immature granules of these cells. Interestingly, GH4C1 clones that stably express modest levels of PC1 store more proinsulin-derived protein in granules. Even in the presence of PC1, a sizable portion of the proinsulin that enters granules goes unprocessed, and this portion largely escapes granule storage. Indeed, all of the increased granule storage can be accounted for by the modest portion converted to insulin. These results are not unique to GH4C1 cells; similar results are obtained upon PC1 expression in PC12 cells as well as in AtT20 cells (in which PC1 is expressed endogenously at higher levels). An in vitro assay of protein solubility indicates a difference in the biophysical behavior of proinsulin and insulin in the PC1 transfectants. We conclude that processing to insulin, facilitated by the catalytic activities of granule proteolytic enzymes, assists in the targeting (storage) of the hormone. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
