Abstract
Mannose 6-phosphate receptors function can be studied in living cells by investigating alterations in processing and secretion of their ligand Cathepsin D. The assay described here is well established in the literature and comprises the metabolic labeling of newly synthesized proteins with [35S] methionine-cysteine in HeLa cells to monitor Cathepsin D processing through secretory pathway and secretion using immunoprecipitation, SDS-PAGE and fluorography.

Background
Cathepsin D (catD) is a lysosomal aspartic protease sorted by Mannose 6-phosphate receptors (M6PRs) that transport it from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes/lysosomes in mammalian cells (Ghosh et al., 2003). CatD is synthesized as a precursor protein (~52 kDa), which is cleaved in lysosomes to generate an intermediate (~48 kDa) or the mature lysosomal form (~34 kDa). Trace amounts of the precursor protein are also secreted from the biosynthetic pathway (Benes et al., 2008). The abundance of catD can be determined using several approaches, such as immunofluorescence-based staining (Poole et al., 1972), Western blotting, fluorometric activity assay (Bewley et al., 2011) or metabolic labeling with pulse-chase analysis (Hirst et al., 2009; Kametaka et al., 2007; Tavares et al., 2017). The later is considered a highly sensitive and quantitative approach to monitor catD dynamics (post-translational processing, secretion and degradation) through the secretory pathway. Specifically it involves metabolically labeling newly synthesized proteins in cells followed by a chase, and then to immunoprecipitate catD from the cell lysate and media (secreted form). Therefore, this method provides a way to follow catD molecules from synthesis to lysosomal targeting or secretion with minimal disturbance of normal cell physiology in its natural environment. Herein we described metabolic labeling with [35S] methionine-cysteine in HeLa cells to monitor catD processing, secretion and degradation by using immunoprecipitation, SDS-PAGE and fluorography.
