Melanosomes are tissue-specific organelles within which melanin is
synthesized and stored. The melanocyte-specific glycoprotein Pmel17 is
enriched in the lumen of premelanosomes, where it associates with
characteristic striations of unknown composition upon which melanin is
deposited. However, Pmel17 is synthesized as an integral membrane
protein. To clarify its physical linkage to premelanosomes, we analyzed
the posttranslational processing of human Pmel17 in pigmented and
transfected nonpigmented cells. We show that Pmel17 is cleaved in a
post-Golgi compartment into two disulfide-linked subunits: a large
lumenal subunit, M

, and an integral membrane subunit, M
. The two
subunits remain associated intracellularly, indicating that detectable
M
remains membrane bound. We have previously shown that Pmel17
accumulates on intralumenal membrane vesicles and striations of
premelanosomes in pigmented cells. In transfected nonpigmented cells
Pmel17 associates with the intralumenal membrane vesicles of
multivesicular bodies; cells overexpressing Pmel17 also display
structures resembling premelanosomal striations within these
compartments. These results suggest that Pmel17 is sufficient to drive
the formation of striations from within multivesicular bodies and is
thus directly involved in the biogenesis of premelanosomes.
