The transport of newly synthesized cathepsin D in fibroblasts at 16-28 degrees C was compared to that at 37 degrees C. At 37 degrees C newly synthesized cathepsin D passes the trans Golgi within 30-60 min, becomes segregated from the secretory route into prelysosomal organelles within 1-2 h and processed to mature forms in dense lysosomes within 1.5-3 h after synthesis. The small fraction of cathepsin D that escapes transport into lysosomes is secreted within less than 2 h. At 16-28 degrees C the transport of cathepsin D to lysosomes is inhibited in a temperature-dependent manner. At 16-28 degrees C cathepsin D precursors are slowly transported to the trans Golgi. The cathepsin D precursors accumulate at a site that is in continuity with the secretory pathway and located within or distal of the trans Golgi and proximal to the site where cathepsin D precursors leave the secretory pathway as complexes with mannose 6-phosphate receptors. The arrest at this site is not complete. The receptor-dependent segregation of the cathepsin D precursors released from the block is impaired at less than or equal to 26 degrees C. The inhibition of segregation results in an increased, albeit retarded secretion of cathepsin D. The fraction of cathepsin D precursors that is segregated from the secretory pathway encounters a further low temperature block in prelysosomal organelles. There cathepsin D precursors are proteolytically processed to an intermediate form, which accumulates transiently.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D006056 Golgi Apparatus A stack of flattened vesicles that functions in posttranslational processing and sorting of proteins, receiving them from the rough ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and directing them to secretory vesicles, LYSOSOMES, or the CELL MEMBRANE. The movement of proteins takes place by transfer vesicles that bud off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus and fuse with the Golgi, lysosomes or cell membrane.

D013816 Thermodynamics A rigorously mathematical analysis of energy relationships (heat, work, temperature, and equilibrium). It describes systems whose states are determined by thermal parameters, such as temperature, in addition to mechanical and electromagnetic parameters.
