The 2 vacuolar enzymes carboxypeptidase Y and aminopeptidase I from S. cerevisiae were studied with respect to biosynthesis, maturation and transfer from their site of synthesis into the organelle. The levels of translatable mRNA for these 2 proteins increase more than 10-fold at the end of the exponential growth period on glucose as C source and decrease again in the stationary phase. Two precursors of carboxypeptidase Y were identified by in vivo pulse-labeling with [35S]methionine. These differ in their amount of carbohydrate as shown by inhibition of N-linked glycosylation with tunicamycin. The 1st is a protein with an apparent MW of 67 kDa [kilodalton], which can be converted into the mature 60-kDa protein via an intermediate of 69 kDa. In the pep4-3 mutant, which is disturbed in the maturation of several vacuolar enzymes (Hemmings, et al. 1981), the 69-kDa precursor accumulates in the vacuole. The final proteolytic cleavage of carboxypeptidase Y can apparently occur in the vacuole.
