SummaryDecarboxylated osteocalcins were prepared and purified from bovine, chicken, human and monkey bones and assayed for their ability to serve as a substrate for vitamin K-dependent carboxylase from bovine liver. Substantial differences were observed, especially between bovine and monkey d-osteocalcin. Since these substrates differ only in their amino acid residues 3 and 4, it seems that these residues play a role in the recognition of a substrate by hepatic carboxylase.

The vitamin K-dependent proteins, including Factor IX (FIX), are calcium-binding proteins that undergo vitamin K-dependent post-translational modification to convert amino terminal glutamic aoid residues to Gla residues. Sequence homology among the propeptides of these proteins suggests a role for this region in designating the adjacent glutamic acid-rich domain for γ-carboxylation during intraoellular processing. Mutations vere made in the propeptide (residues -1 to -18) of FIX, and the effects on γ-carboxylation were assessed. The human FIX cDNA coding sequenoe was modified using oligonucleotide-directed site-specific mutagenesis and was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The extent of γ-carboxylation of secreted FIX was determined by (1) ability to interact with conformation-specific antibodies directed against the Gla-dependent, metal-stabilized, native structure of FIX, and (2) direct Gla analysis of the alkaline hydrolysate. Using the unmodified coding sequence, 64 ± 17 % of recombinant Factor IX bound to the conformation-specific antibodies, and 9.4 ± 0.7 Gla residues were found (compared with 12 Gla in plasma FIX). When the 18-residue propeptide was deleted, secreted FIX contained no detectable native FIX antigen and no detectable Gla. Similarly, point mutations leading to substitution of Ala for Phe at residue -16 or Glu for Ala at residue -10 led to secretion of FIX containing 2% and 6% native antigen, respectively, and approximately 1-2 Gla residues. The molecular weight of each of the reoombinant FIX species, as estimated by SDS-PAGE, was identical to that of plasma FIX. NH2-terminal sequence analysis of the mutant FIX speoies yielded the NH2-terminal sequence of plasma FIX. These data indicate that the mutations made in the propeptide did not interfere with intracellular proteolytic prooessing of FIX. We conolude that the FIX propeptide participates in defining a recognition site that designates an adjacent glutamic acid-rich domain for γ-carboxylation. The association of the propeptide with the γ-carboxylation recognition site provides the first demonstration of a specific function served by a propeptide in post-translational protein processing.
