Abstract excerpt
Processing of most PC zymogens is required for successful folding and/or passage through the secretory pathway; active site mutants are retained in the ER and degraded. We here report that the active site serine mutant of PC2 (PC2-S383A) was efficiently secreted as the intact zymogen in CHO-K1 cells, suggesting that its propeptide can productively insert into the mutated binding pocket without causing misfolding....
