The synthesis and secretion of beta-hexosaminidase was studied in wild type and secretion-deficient Tetrahymena thermophila cells by metabolic labelling and immunoprecipitation. beta-Hexosaminidase is synthesized as a Mr 79,000 polypeptide which is within 10 min converted into a Mr 59,000 form. The Mr 59,000 polypeptide is further processed (within 20 min) into at least three major mature forms of Mr 58,000-54,000, which are almost quantitatively secreted into the culture medium within 1-2 h after their synthesis. Both precursor and mature forms contain asparagine-linked oligosaccharide chains which are cleavable by endoglucosaminidase F, but not by endoglucosaminidase H. Neither [32P]orthophosphate nor [35S]sulphate are incorporated into immunoprecipitable precursor and mature beta-hexosaminidases, suggesting the absence of a phosphorylated recognition marker. Biosynthesis and processing of beta-hexosaminidase is apparently unaltered in the secretory mutant MS-1; however the processed polypeptides remain cellular bound in the mutant, indicating that the mutation affects a late event in the secretion pathway of lysosomal enzymes.
