The efficient transport of proteins along the secretory pathway requires that the polypeptide adopts a stably folded conformation to egress the endoplasmic reticulum. (ER). The transport-competent precursor of the brush border enzyme LPH, pro-LPH, undergoes an intracellular cleavage process in the trans-Golgi network between Are(734) and LeU(735) to yield LPHbeta(initial). The role of the prodomain comprising the N-terminally located 734 amino acids of pro-LPH, LPHalpha, in the folding events of LPHbeta(initial) has been analyzed by the individual expression of both forms in COS-1 cells. Following synthesis at 37 degreesC LPHbeta(initial) acquires a misfolded and enzymatically inactive conformation that is degraded by trypsin. A temperature shift to 20 degreesC generates a stable, trypsin-resistant, and enzymatically active LPHbeta(initial) indicating that the individual expression of LPHbeta(initial) results in a temperature-sensitive conformation. This form interacts at non-permissive temperatures sequentially with the ER chaperones immunoglobulin-binding protein and calnexin resulting in an ER retention. The LPHalpha prodomain resides in the ER when individually expressed. It reveals compact structural features that are stabilized by disulfide bridges. LPHalpha and LPHbeta(initial) readily interact with each other upon coexpression, and this interaction appears to trigger the formation of a trypsin-resistant, correctly folded, enzymatically active, and transport-competent LPHbeta(initial) polypeptide. These data clearly demonstrate that the proregion of pro-LPH is an intramolecular chaperone that is critically essential in facilitating the folding of the intermediate form LPHbeta(initial) in the context of the pro-LPH polypeptide.
