Human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (T-H) is produced by renal cells of ascending limb of loop of Henle and is largely excreted in urine.N-linked glycans account for close to 30% of the weight of T-H. We studied the biosynthesis of recombinant T-H permanently expressed in HeLa cells. The conversion from the precursor (84 kDa) to the mature form (97 kDa) mainly depends on the processing of glycans from the high-mannose to polyantennary type. The conversion from precursor to mature form is very slow and the glycan structure of precursor appears to be that of a glycoprotein not yet processed by Golgi α1,2 mannosidase. Since T-H has a very high number of disulfide bridges (more than 50 cysteine residues/mol) one may infer that the rate limiting step for the precursor export out of ER is the formation of a correct set of disulfide bonds. Mature T-H isolated from HeLa cells retained oneN-linked chain with the highmannose structure similarly to urinary T-H. This result indicates that the occurrence of one unprocessed high-mannose chain in mature T-H is host-cell independent and very likely related to the T-H primary structure.
