FIG. 7.3 ESSENTIALS Peptide Hormone Synthesis and Processing (a) Peptide Hormone Synthesis Peptide hormones are made as large, inactive preprohormones that include a signal sequence, one or more copies of the hormone, and additional peptide fragments. Messenger RNA on the ribosomes binds amino acids into a peptide chain called a preprohormone. The chain is directed into the ER lumen by a signal sequence of amino acids. Ribosome mRNA Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) 2 Enzymes in the ER chop off the signal sequence, creating an inactive prohormone. Preprohormone Signal sequence Prohormone Transport vesicle (b) Preprohormones PreproTRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) has six copies of the 3-amino acid hormone TRH. Preprohormone 3 The prohormone passes from the ER through the Golgi complex. 4 Secretory vesicles containing enzymes and prohormone bud off the Golgi. The enzymes chop the prohormone into one or more active peptides plus additional peptide fragments. amus J Golgi complex The secretory vesicle releases its contents by exocytosis into the extracellular space. Active Peptide hormone fragment 5 (c) Prohormones Secretory vesicle Release signal Cytoplasm ECF 6 The hormone moves into the circulation for transport to its target. To target Capillary endothelium Plasma Prohormones, such as pro-opiomelanocortin, the prohormone for ACTH, may contain several peptide sequences with biological activity.
