Abstract
1. The proteins of large dense-core vesicles (LDV) in neuroendocrine tissues are well characterized. Secretory components comprise chromogranins and neuropeptides. Intrinsic membrane proteins include cytochrome b-561, transporters, SV2, synaptotagmin, and synaptobrevin. 2. The effects of stimulation and of second messengers on the biosynthesis of LDV have been studied in detail. 3. Regulation of biosynthesis is complex. The cell can adapt to prolonged stimulation either by producing vesicles of normal size filled with a higher quantum of secretory peptides or by forming larger vesicles. In addition, some components, e.g., enzymes, can be upregulated specifically.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates secretion of glycoprotein 2 (GP2) in a time-and concentration-dependent manner from the AR4-2J pancreatoma cell line. Cell differentiation induced by dexamethasone treatment for 3 d, however, did not significantly alter either basal or EGF-stimulated GP2 release. Basal and EGF-stimulated GP2 release were similarly unaffected by caerulein, which promotes amylase secretion by a regulated route. A brief exposure to cycloheximide profoundly blocked EGF-evoked GP2 secretion. Furthermore, EGF-stimulated GP2 release was not accompanied by significant alterations in intracellular ionic calcium levels, in contrast to the stimulatory actions of caerulein. We conclude that EGF-stimulated release of GP2 occurs via a novel secretory pathway that is neither regulated nor constitutive as currently defined.

Abstract
Specific antisera were raised against the A and B chains of glycoprotein III. Immunoblotting revealed that in adrenal medulla both chains migrate very closely together in two-dimensional electrophoresis. Both chains with slightly differing molecular sizes are found in several endocrine tissues and in brain, kidney, liver, and serum. The mRNA has an analogous widespread distribution. In primary cultures of chromaffin cells the level of message becomes significantly increased by treatment with histamine or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate/forskolin. However, the increase is small when compared with that of secretogranin II. The subcellular localization of glycoprotein III in endocrine organs and in the posterior pituitary was investigated by subcellular fractionation and immunoelectron microscopy. Glycoprotein III was found to be confined to the large dense-core vesicles of these organs. For a discussion of the function of glycoprotein III, its localization in these organelles has to be taken into account.

Abstract
The regulated secretory pathway is activated by elevated cytoplasmic Ca2+; however, the components mediating Ca2+ regulation have not been identified. In semi-intact neuroendocrine cells, Ca(2+)-activated secretion is ATP- and cytosol protein-dependent. We have identified a novel brain protein, p145, as a cytosolic factor that reconstitutes Ca(2+)-activated secretion in two neuroendocrine cell types. The protein is a dimer of 145 kd subunits, exhibits Ca(2+)-dependent interaction with a hydrophobic matrix, and binds phospholipid vesicles, suggesting a membrane-associated function. A p145-specific antibody inhibits the reconstitution of Ca(2+)-activated secretion by cytosol, indicating an essential role for p145. The restricted expression of p145 in tissues exhibiting a regulated secretory pathway suggests a key role for this protein in the transduction of Ca2+ signals into vectorial membrane fusion events.

Abstract
The monoamine transporter of the chromaffin granule membranes can be specifically labeled by the photoaffinity reagent 7-azido-8-[125I]iodoketanserin. The characteristics of the labeled protein have been investigated. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the labeled membranes indicated a MW of about 70,000 and an isoelectric point ranging from 3.8 to 4.6. No clear protein spot was associated with the radioactive material, which migrated between glycoproteins GPII and GPIV. The diffuse aspect of the radioactive material indicated a heterogeneity, which was not modified after a second electrophoresis. This heterogeneity was, at least partially, due to glycosylation of the transporter; neuraminidase treatment increased the protein pI up to 6.3, whereas digestion with N-glycopeptidase markedly decreased the apparent MW, from 70,000 to 50,000. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that, at low acrylamide concentrations, the labeled material migrated more rapidly than predicted from the mobility of the markers of molecular weight, a behavior which indicated a marked hydrophobicity of the transporter. The labeled protein was purified to homogeneity by a combination of chromatography on DEAE-cellulose at pH 4.5, on immobilized wheat germ agglutinin, and on hydroxylapatite in the presence of SDS. During this purification, the specific radioactivity was increased by a factor of 300-500, with a yield of 10-20%.

Abstract
An indirect gold-labeling method utilizing the lectin from Limax flavus was employed to characterize the subcellular distribution of sialic acid in glycoconjugates of the salamander olfactory mucosa. The highest density of lectin binding sites was in secretory vesicles of sustentacular cells. Significantly lower densities of lectin binding sites were found in secretory granules of acinar cells of both Bowman's and respiratory glands. Lectin binding in acinar cells of Bowman's glands was confined primarily to electron-lucent regions and membranes of secretory granules. In the olfactory mucus, the density of lectin binding sites was greater in the region of mucus closest to the nasal cavity than in that closest to the epithelial surface. At the epithelial surface, the density of lectin binding sites associated with olfactory cilia was 2.4-fold greater than that associated with microvilli of sustentacular cells or non-ciliary plasma membranes of olfactory receptor neurons, and 7.9-fold greater than non-microvillar sustentacular cell plasma membranes. Lectin binding sites were primarily associated with the glycocalyx of olfactory receptor cilia. The cilia on cells in the respiratory epithelium contained few lectin binding sites. Thus, sialylated glycoconjugates secreted by sustentacular cells are preferentially localized in the glycocalyx of the cilia of olfactory receptor neurons.

Abstract
Analysis of human and bovine serum by immunoblotting revealed the presence of the proprotein chromogranin A. By the same method chromogranin A was also found in rat, bovine and human kidney. However this organ did not contain any chromogranin A mRNA arguing against a synthesis within this organ. By immune-electron microscopy chromogranin A immunoreactivity was found in proximal tubule cells of rat kidney. Positive immunostaining was present in small vesicles within and in close proximity to the brush border and closer to the nucleus in typical lysosomal structures. These results make it likely that chromogranin A from serum reaches kidney tubule cells by glomerular filtration and is taken up into the endocytotic lysosomal pathway.

Abstract
Studies over the past three decades have clearly established the existence of at least two distinct pathways for the intracellular transport and release of secretory proteins by animal cells. These have been identified as the regulated and constitutive pathways. Many observations have indicated that in certain cells, such as those of the exocrine pancreas and parotid glands at least, these pathways coexist in the same cells. Although the general scheme of protein transport within these pathways is well established, many fundamental aspects of intracellular transport remain to be unraveled. How are proteins transported through the endoplasmic reticulum? How are the transitional vesicles formed and what are the underlying mechanisms involved in their fusion with the cis-Golgi cisterna? Even the general mode of transfer through the Golgi stack is debated: Is there a diffusion through the stack by flow through intercisternal tubules and openings or is there a vesicle transfer system where membrane quanta hop from one cisterna to the other? What is the fate of secretory proteins in the trans-Golgi area and by what mechanisms is a fraction of newly synthesized molecules of a given secretory protein released spontaneously while the majority of such nascent molecules are diverted into a secretory granule compartment? In this review, we have examined these and other aspects of intracellular transport of secretory proteins using pancreatic acinar cells as our reference model and we present some evidence to support the existence of a paragranular pathway of secretion associated with secretory granule maturation.

Abstract
Glycoprotein II (GP II) is a protein found in the membranes of chromaffin granules from adrenal medulla. Immunoblotting (one- and two-dimensional) revealed that this antigen is also present in liver and in kidney. Subcellular fractionation of the latter organ indicated that GP II was present in lysosomes. This was confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. The antiserum against GP II immunolabelled the membranes of organelles which could be identified as lysosomes by the labelling of their contents with an antiserum against cathepsin D. Thus GP II is an antigen common to secretory vesicles and lysosomes.

Abstract
Chromaffin-granule membranes were separated into insoluble and soluble fractions after extraction with lithium di-iodosalicylate (LDIS). These fractions were characterized by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and glycoproteins were detected after electroblotting with peroxidase-labelled concanavalin A and wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA). The LDIS-insoluble fraction contained components identified as glycoproteins III, H, J and K (carboxypeptidase H). Microsequence analysis indicated that component J is an N-terminally extended form of glycoprotein K. A major glycoprotein, GpII (Mr 80,000-100,000), present in the LDIS-soluble fraction was purified by affinity chromatography on WGA-Sepharose. This was characterized by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with Coomassie Blue staining, by amino acid analysis and automated N-terminal sequence analysis. Extraction of chromaffin-granule membranes with LDIS is a simple and rapid procedure that facilitates studies concerned with the structure and function of membrane glycoproteins from these and other secretory granules.

Abstract
It was the purpose of this study to define the chromogranin A-processing proteinases present in highly purified preparations of bovine chromaffin granules. The most active enzyme had a pH optimum of 5.0 and was inhibited by pepstatin. It could be identified immunologically as a cathepsin D-like enzyme and subcellular fractionation established its lysosomal origin. After removal of this enzyme the remaining activity at pH 5.0 was mainly due to a cathepsin B-like proteinase. The presence of this enzyme could also be attributed to lysosomal contamination. In the presence of calcium, a further proteolytic activity became apparent at pH 5.0. This enzyme which was inhibited by rho-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid was localized in chromaffin granules. A trypsin-like peptidase, most active at pH 8.2, was enriched in a membrane wash of chromaffin granules. Subcellular fractionation indicated that this enzyme is preferentially bound to the membranes of very dense particles probably representing a subpopulation of chromaffin granules. This study establishes that the most active chromogranin A-degrading proteinases present in highly purified chromaffin granules are attributable to lysosomal contamination. Two enzymes with low activity (a Ca2+ activated proteinase and a trypsin-like enzyme) are, apparently, true constituents of chromaffin granules.

Abstract
Homogenates of bovine splenic nerve and of vas deferens were subjected to differential and density gradient centrifugation to investigate their noradrenaline-storing organelles. The subcellular fractions obtained were analysed by immunoblotting in order to define the presence of various antigens in small dense-core and large dense-core vesicles. In both large granule and microsomal fractions from splenic nerve only one type of noradrenaline-storing vesicle was found, which represents the large dense-core vesicles. These organelles contained chromogranin A, chromogranin B, cytochrome b-561, carboxypeptidase H, glycoprotein II, glycoprotein III, dopamine beta-hydroxylase and the monoamine carrier which are also present in adrenal chromaffin granules. The subcellular distribution of synaptin/synatophysin was more complex since this protein was apparently present in two organelles: in a light vesicle which did not contain significant amounts of antigens found in large dense-core vesicles (dopamine beta-hydroxylase, cytochrome b-561 and the monoamine carrier) and in the dense fractions of the gradient, possibly within large dense-core vesicles. In the microsomal gradient from vas deferens several markers (catecholamines, synaptin/synaptophysin and dopamine beta-hydroxylase) were found in a bimodal distribution, which is consistent with their presence in small and large dense-core vesicles. When the larger granules were removed with higher centrifugation speed a microsomal fraction containing only light vesicles was obtained. After gradient centrifugation of this fraction several components (catecholamines, dopamine beta-hydroxylase, cytochrome b-561, the monoamine carrier and synaptin/synaptophysin) were concentrated in a peak at low density; apparently only small dense-core vesicles were now present.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The presence of various antigens in two types of isolated endocrine vesicles (chromaffin granules and secretory vesicles of thyroid parafollicular cells) was investigated by immunoblotting. The two types of vesicles have three common secretory proteins: chromogranin A, chromogranin B and secretogranin II. Furthermore, six common membrane antigens were found: cytochrome b-561, carboxypeptidase H, glycoprotein II, glycoprotein III, synaptin/synaptophysin and SV 2. These results demonstrate that vesicles obtained from neural crest-derived endocrine cells not only share several common secretory peptides and proteins, but also have common properties as far as their membrane antigens are concerned.

Abstract
Poly(N-acetyllactosaminyl) oligosaccharides have been identified, on the basis of their susceptibility to endo-beta-galactosidase, in a large-molecular-size glycopeptide fraction derived from chromaffin granule membrane glycoproteins. The glycoproteins containing poly(N-acetyl-lactosaminyl) oligosaccharides were selectively labeled by treatment of chromaffin granule membranes with endo-beta-galactosidase to expose N-acetylglucosamine residues, followed by incubation with galactosyltransferase and UDP-[14C]galactose. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and fluorography demonstrated specific labeling in the 41-47 kilodalton (kD) region and in a distinct band at 90 kDa. Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE revealed that the poly(N-acetyllactosaminyl) oligosaccharides are predominantly present in glycoprotein IV, together with lesser labeling of glycoproteins II and III, whereas they are absent from dopamine beta-hydroxylase and carboxypeptidase H, which are the major glycoproteins of chromaffin granule membranes.
