The c-kit ligand, KL, and its receptor, the proto-oncogene c-kit are encoded, respectively, at the steel (Sl) and white spotting (W) loci of the mouse. Both Sl and W mutations affect cellular targets in melanogenesis, gametogenesis, and hematopoiesis during development and in adult life. Although identified as a soluble protein, the predicted amino acid sequence of KL indicates that it is an integral transmembrane protein. We have investigated the relationship between the soluble and the cell associated forms of KL and the regulation of their expression. We show that the soluble form of KL is generated by efficient proteolytic cleavage from a transmembrane precursor, KL-1. An alternatively spliced version of KL-1, KL-2, in which the major proteolytic cleavage site is removed by splicing, is shown to produce a soluble biologically active form of KL as well, although with somewhat diminished efficiency. The protein kinase C inducer phorbol 12- myristate 13-acetate and the calcium ionophore A23187 were shown to induce the cleavage of both KL-1 and KL-2 at similar rates, suggesting that this process can be regulated differentially. Furthermore, proteolytic processing of both the KL-1 and KL-2 transmembrane protein products was shown to occur on the cell surface. The relative abundance of KL-1 and KL-2 is controlled in a tissue-specific manner. Sld, a viable steel allele, is shown to encode a biologically active secreted mutant KL protein. These results indicate an important function for both the soluble and the cell associate form of KL. The respective roles of the soluble and cell associated forms of KL in the proliferative and migratory functions of c-kit are discussed.
