Secondary Information

Protein Function Component of the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM); a highly specialized biomembrane elaborated by terminally differentiated urothelial cells. May play an important role in regulating the assembly of the AUM.
Biochemical Properties t UPII is primarily synthesized as a 19-kDa non-glycosylated prepro-UPII precursor.It comprises three parts of linked sequences: 1) a N-terminal 26–28 amino acids fragment (2-kDa), 2) a middle fragment located at 59 amino acids propeptide with three asparagines, the potential sites for N-glycosylation and 3) a 100 amino acids polypeptide (15-kDa) corresponding to the mature native form of UPII.The precursor of bovine pro-UPII which carries complex N-glycans does not contain exposed sites susceptible for degradation by exoproteases, but has four furino-like endoproteases. For efficient cleavage, the furin-cleavage site requires some arginines in signature sequence: Arg − 4-Xaa − 3-(Lys/Arg) − 2-Arg − 1.The released mature bovine UPII (15-kDa) does not possess the asparagines/s able to be N-glycosylated.

Significance of PTMs In ER the signal sequence is cut-off from the 19-kDa prepro-UPII precursor. A propeptide is further glycosylated by addition of three attached high-mannose N-glycans. The attachment of sugar chains to pro-UPII causes an increase in the molecular weight of the immature form of UPII to 29-kDa. Glycosylation changes in uroplakins correlate with and might reflect progressive stages of pathological conditions of the urothelium such as cancer, urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis and others.
