Role of Furin in Delivery of a CTL Epitope of an Anthrax Toxin‐Fusion Protein

Abstract: Anthrax toxin lethal factor (LF) in combination with anthrax toxin protective antigen (PA) was endocytosed and translocated to the cytosol of mammalian cells, Residues 1-255 of anthrax toxin lethal factor (LFn) was fused to a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope of an influenza virus. For processing the toxins, PA must be cleaved into a 63-kDa fragment (PA63) by furin, which is a subtilisin-like processing endoprotease expressed by many eukaryotic cells. To test the~bili!Y of cells treated with the LFn fusion … Show more

“…This indicates that the cell lines do not differ in the endocytic recycling and processing of surface MHC I. Stryhn et al (26) proposed that suboptimally loaded MHC I exchanges low affinity peptide ligands after reaching the late compartments of the exocytic route. Proprotein convertases (pPCs), which cycle between trans-Golgi network (TGN), plasma membrane and endosomes (9) have been reported to be involved in the generation of peptide Ags for MHC I (10,27). To test whether the high level of surface MHC I expression in cell line T2 (1-2⌬N) depends on the activity of pPCs, we performed surface MHC I-recovery experiments in the presence of increasing (43) and incubated for 1 h at 4°or 37°C.…”

“…Alternative pathways seem to have a limited contribution, although they generate some of these ligands (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). The proteasome is a complex protease located in the cytosol and nucleus.…”

“…In dendritic cells, the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin S was shown to generate a TAP-independent class I ligand for cross-presentation in vivo (31). Furine, a protease of the Golgi, can also generate class I ligands (32)(33)(34). This enzyme, or closely related proprotein convertases, may also provide suitable class I ligands upon failure of quality control mechanisms for peptide loading in the ER (35), although the actual contribution of this enzyme to the constitutive MHC class I-bound peptide repertoires in cells with an intact processing-loading pathway has not yet been confirmed.…”
