Title : Cloning and expression of human
steroid-sulfatase
Abstract :
- Membrane topology, glycosylation, and subcellular distribution in BHK-21 cells
- A 2.4-kilobase cDNA clone for human steroid-sulfatase ( STS ) was isolated and sequenced, which encoded an enzymatically active protein
- The deduced amino acid sequence comprises 583 amino acids with an N-terminal signal peptide of 21 or 23 residues and four potential N-glycosylation sites
- Two of the N-glycosylation sites are utilized and were localized to the asparagine residues 47 and 259
- STS has the solubility properties of an integral membrane protein
- The resistance of STS toward proteinase K after translocation into microsomes suggests that most, if not all, sequences of STS are exposed at the luminal side of microsomes
- The deduced amino acid sequence predicts two membrane-spanning domains (amino acids 185-211 and 213-237) separated by a helix-breaking proline residue
- We propose for STS a three-domain model
- Two glycosylated luminally oriented domains of 161 and 346 residues are separated by a hydrophobic domain spanning the membrane twice in opposite directions
- STS expressed in BHK-21 cells is located predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum; smaller fractions are found in the Golgi, at the cell surface, multivesicular endosomes, as well as in lysosomes
- The stability of STS in lysosomes may be related to the high homology of the two luminal domains of STS with the lysosomal sulfatases, arylsulfatase A , and arylsulfatase B
- In spite of its similarity with these two lysosomal sulfatases, STS does not contain mannose 6-phosphate residues and is transported to lysosomes by a mannose 6-phosphate receptor-independent mechanism
