Chromogranin B (secretogranin I) promotes sorting to the regulated secretory pathway of processing intermediates derived from a peptide hormone precursor.

Abstract: Chromogranin B (CgB, secretogranin I) is a widespread constituent of neuroendocrine secretory granules whose function is unknown. To determine whether CgB affects the sorting of peptide hormone and neuropeptide precursors to secretory granules, we overexpressed CgB in AtT-20 cells, which exhibit an only moderate capacity to sort proopiomelanocortin and proteolytic fragments derived therefrom. In mock-transfected AtT-20 cells, a substantial proportion of newly synthesized proopiomelanocortin and its two primary… Show more

“…In CgA-deficient and POMC-expressing PC12 cells, POMC is secreted constitutively without secretory stimulation (45). Although POMC binds to CPE for its sorting to SGs (10), CgA is also essential for POMC sorting because it appears to co-aggregate POMC and its intermediates to SGs (39). As for CgA sorting to SGs, we propose the following hypothesis.…”

“…Pancreatic beta cells and beta cell lines are also known to synthesise, in addition to insulin, a number of other secretory proteins, including members of the granin family, chromogranin A and chromogranin B (CgB) [7][8][9][10]. Based on intracellular distribution studies [7,8] and on data obtained in other cell lines (AtT20 and PC12), these granins are believed to play important roles both in the sorting, packaging and processing of secretion products [11][12][13][14], and in the storage of Ca 2+ within SG lumina [15]. Moreover chromogranin A and/or peptides derived from its processing have been reported to play autocrine, paracrine and endocrine functions upon discharge [16][17][18][19], while CgB has been shown to induce an autocrine inhibition of insulin release from beta cells [20].…”

“…Lack of regulation of SgII and CgA transcription rate over the oestrous cycle in sheep revealed a further species difference. Also, changes in CgB mRNA levels may emphasise a role of CgB in regulating gonadotrophin secretion in sheep, particularly as CgB is involved in sorting of regulated proteins (Chanat et al 1993, 1994, Natori & Huttner 1996, Natori et al 1998.…”
