A precondition for efficient proinsulin export from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is that proinsulin meets ER quality control folding requirements, including formation of the Cys(B19)-Cys(A20) "interchain" disulfide bond, facilitating formation of the Cys(B7)-Cys(A7) bridge. The third proinsulin disulfide, Cys(A6)-Cys(A11), is not required for anterograde trafficking, i.e., a "lose-A6/A11" mutant [Cys(A6), Cys(A11) both converted to Ser] is well secreted. Nevertheless, an unpaired Cys(A11) can ...[more]
