When expressed in COS cells, human prorenin was secreted into the medium without being processed to an active renin. Co-expression of furin, a mammalian homologue of the yeast KEX2 gene product, did not affect proteolytic processing of prorenin. A mutant proreninR-4 constructed by site-directed mutagenesis of Pro (-4) to Arg was not cleaved by an endoprotease in the COS cell. However, proreninR-4 was detectably cleaved to yield the active renin upon co-transfection with furin DNA, indicating that Arg at position -4 is important for recognition and processing by furin in addition to the absolute requirement for paired basic amino acids. Another mutant precursor in which Leu (+1) of proreninR-4 was replaced with Ser was found to be much more efficiently processed than proreninR-4, regardless of co-expression of furin. The results suggest that not only a basic amino acid at position -4 but also Leu at position +1 significantly affect the processing of prorenin catalyzed by the COS cell endoprotease or furin.
