An analytical system for a quantitative assessment of contributions of pre- and pro-components of the yeast α-factor leader to key stages of somatropin secretion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been designed. Using this system, it was shown that: 1) the α-factor pro-peptide has contributed almost equally to the secretion at the Erv29p-dependent stage of vesicular transport and at the translocation stage; 2) of the two above stages, the Erv29p-dependent stage could only be optimized by using of two copies of the α-factor pro-peptide; 3) when the α-factor pre-peptide and the artificial pro-peptide with significantly greater hydrophobicity were compared it was found that somatropin secretion apparently depended on the translocation mode as higher secretion was achieved with hydrophobic artificial pre-peptide associated with the co-translational translocation.

 

Key words:  Erv29p,  pro-peptide,  signal peptide,  somatropin secretion,  translocation,  yeast α-factor leader peptide.
