The incorporation of labeled compounds into neurophysins of a transplantable human oat cell carcinoma of the lung with ectopic vasopressin production was studied in vitro. Neurophysins in cell extracts and in incubation media were isolated by immunoprecipitation and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When cells were incubated with L-[35S]cysteine for 12 h, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipitates from cell extract and medium resolved two forms of neurophysins with apparent molecular mass of 10,000 (10K) and 20,000 (20K). Both forms of [35S]-neurophysins were completely displaced from the immunoprecipitates by excess human neurophysin. Incubation of cells with L-[35S]cysteine and D-[3H]-glucosamine hydrochloride revealed that glucosamine was incorporated into the 20K neurophysin region, but not into 10K species. To observe the kinetics of labeling of the two forms of neurophysins, cells were incubated with L[35S]cysteine for varying periods of time. After short labeling periods, most of the radioactivity resided in 20K species, which plateaued after 1 h, whereas 10K neurophysin progressively increased in its height. When cells were chased with unlabeled cysteine after the exposure to a short pulse of labeling, 20K neurophysin peak gradually decreased with an apparent initial half-life of 1 h. In contrast, the label in 10K neurophysin steadily increased, which exceeded the former by 3 h of chase. Analysis of 20K neurophysin in cell extract by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel demonstrated that it was principally composed of a protein with an apparent isoelectric point (pI) of 5.7. These results suggest that neurophysin is synthesized in ectopic vasopressin-producing tumors by post-translational processing from a glycosylated proneurophysin with an apparent molecular mass of 20,000 daltons and a pI of 5.7.
