The complete cDNA structure of the porcine (p) pro-protein and pro-hormone convertase PC2 (pPC2) was obtained from a cDNA library of pituitary neurointermediate lobes mRNA. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed that pPC2 exhibits a 99-97% sequence identity to the human, mouse and rat homologues. The 3' end of the 2.1 kb cDNA is the least conserved segment. On Northern blots of pars intermedia poly A+ RNA two transcripts of 3 and 5 kb were detected. Molecular analysis of the N-terminal glycopeptide products of porcine pro-opiomelanocortin (pPOMC) co-expressed with vaccinia virus recombinants of PC1 or PC2, revealed that in cells devoid or containing secretory granules both convertases can cleave pPOMC with PC1 releasing the 1-80, 1-107 and 1-148 glycopeptide fragments, and PC2 cleaving pPOMC directly into pPOMC 1-107.
