The synthesis and structure of the primary translation product of apo AII in a human liver poly(A+) mRNA primed cell-free system and its cotranslational modification was studied parallel to studies in vivo with Hep G2 cells, a human hepatoma cell line. The primary translation product is a preproprotein containing 100 amino acid residues, which is cleaved by the signal peptidase of endoplasmic reticulum to pro-apo AII with the loss of the N-terminal pre-sequence consisting of 18 amino acid residues. Hep G2 cells contain about equal amounts of the proform of apolipoprotein AII and of mature apo AII. Approximately in the same ratio pro- and mature apo AII are secreted into the medium. Determination of the partial amino-acid sequence by automated Edman degradation of the labelled prepro- and proforms of apo AII led to the segmentation of the N-terminus of the primary translation product, consisting of 23 amino acid residues, into the pre-sequence (18 residues) and the pro-sequence (5 residues) with terminal Arg-Arg-residues at the cleavage site to apo AII. We must therefore correct our previously postulated 17 and 6 residues containing segmentation. So far no information has been obtained in which compartment and at what stage of posttranslational events the dimerization occurs by formation of the single disulfide bond at position Cys6 in the mature apo AII structure, leading to the symmetrical molecule.
