Glycine-extended post-translational processing intermediates of gastrin and cholecystokinin in the gut

Abstract: Cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin are two polypeptide hormones of the gut that share complete structural homology in their carboxyl-terminal pentapeptide. Both peptides are biologically activated from their glycine-extended precursor forms by a carboxyl-terminal alpha-amidation reaction. In the present studies we used region specific antisera to characterize the carboxyl-terminally amidated and glycine-extended forms of gastrin and CCK in mammalian intestine. Multiple amidated molecular forms of gastrin and CC… Show more

“…The results reported here suggest that longer term exposure of D-cells to gastrin and G-Gly also stimulates a further negative feedback loop by enhancing subsequent somatostatin release thus providing a means to restrain acid hypersecretion caused by hypergastrinaemia and control longer term acid secretion. Several studies have confirmed that G-Gly is produced in gastric antral G-cells 2225 and this study adds further support to the suggestion that these peptide processing intermediates may have a role in the normal physiological control of the gastric secretions.…”

“…The authors were uncertain of the sequence of this third component but speculated that it could be an additional processed form of GIP (16). Differential posttranslational processing resulting in multiple products has been described for other peptides such as somatostatin, gastrin, and cholecystokinin (CCK) (4,23). In addition, the uneven distribution of varying forms of gastrin and CCK throughout the small intestine supports the notion of a nonuniform expression of posttranslational processing enzymes in the gut (11,23).…”

“…Furthermore, although the PC2 cleavage site in pro-GIP is highly conserved in mammalian species, the expression of processing enzymes may differ among species resulting in different proportions of the GIP isoforms. Species-dependent expression of peptide isoforms has been described for other gut peptides, such as CCK (23).…”

“…Progastrin is expressed in several normal tissues, such as pituitary gland, cerebellum, antrum, vagal neurons and duodenum (Rehfeld, 1986(Rehfeld, , 1991Marino et al, 1994). The tissue concentration of progastrin and processing intermediates is in the same range as that of the mature a-amidated peptide (Sugano et al, 1987).…”
