We have combined gene cloning with an assay for prohormone biosynthesis and processing in Xenopus oocytes to identify the genes that encode mammalian prohormone processing enzymes. The coinjection of RNA encoding murine prohormone convertase 1 (mPC1), a mammalian endoprotease, along with proopiomelanocortin RNA into an oocyte results in the appropriate cleavage after paired basic residues in the proopiomelanocortin polyprotein necessary to generate corticotropin. The ability of mPC1 to generate corticotropin, along with the observation that mPC1 is specifically expressed in endocrine and neuronal cells, suggests that the mPC1 gene encodes the endopeptidase responsible for the pathway of proopiomelanocortincleavage observed in the anterior pituitary.
