Barley lectin is synthesized as a preproprotein with a glycosylated carboxyl-terminal propeptide (CTPP) that is removed before or concomitant with deposition of the mature protein in vacuoles. Expression of a cDNA clone encoding barley lectin in transformed tobacco plants results in the correct processing, maturation, and accumulation of active barley lectin in vacuoles [Wilkins, T.A., Bednarek, S.Y., and Raikhel, N.V. (1990). Plant Cell 2, 301-313]. The glycan of the propeptide is not essential for vacuolar sorting, but may influence the rate of post-translational processing [Wilkins, T.A., Bednarek, S.Y., and Raikhel, N.V. (1990). Plant Cell 2, 301-313]. To investigate the functional role of the CTPP in processing, assembly, and sorting of barley lectin to vacuoles, a mutant barley lectin cDNA clone lacking the 15-amino acid CTPP was prepared. The CTPP deletion mutant of barley lectin was expressed in tobacco protoplasts, suspension-cultured cells, and transgenic plants. In all three systems, the wild-type barley lectin was sorted to vacuoles, whereas the mutant barley lectin was secreted to the incubation media. Therefore, we conclude that the carboxyl-terminal domain of the barley lectin proprotein is necessary for the efficient sorting of this protein to plant cell vacuoles.
