Gene Description

MBTPS1 encodes site-1 protease (S1P, also SKI-1 or PCSK8), a Ca2+-dependent subtilisin-like serine protease of the proprotein convertase family. It is a type I membrane protein with a lumenal peptidase S8 catalytic domain, made as a zymogen whose propeptide is removed autocatalytically in the ER. The mature enzyme acts mainly in the Golgi membrane, and a soluble form is also shed. Unlike the basic-residue-directed convertases, S1P cleaves after hydrophobic or small residues in R-X-hydrophobic-X motifs. It makes the first, lumenal cleavage in the regulated intramembrane proteolysis of membrane-bound transcription factors: SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 (after SCAP escorts them to the Golgi when sterols are low), ATF6 and ATF6B during the unfolded protein response, and the CREB3 family (LUMAN, OASIS/CREB3L1, BBF2H7/CREB3L2, CREB-H/CREB3L3). Site-2 protease (MBTPS2) then cuts within the membrane to release the transcriptionally active N-terminal domains. S1P also processes non-transcription-factor proproteins. Its cleavage of the GNPTAB alpha/beta precursor activates GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase for mannose-6-phosphate tagging of lysosomal enzymes. It also processes FAM20C, the secretory-pathway kinase, as well as pro-BDNF and arenavirus glycoproteins. Through these substrates S1P controls lipid synthesis, the ER stress response, lysosome biogenesis, collagen export and skeletal development. Biallelic hypomorphic variants cause spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia Kondo-Fu type. A mitochondrial pool that stabilizes the ETFA/ETFB complex has also been reported, and variants are linked to CAOP syndrome.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: S1P colocalizes with mitochondrial markers in the CAOP syndrome study.
Reason: A single 2022 study reports a mitochondrial pool of S1P that associates with ETFA/ETFB. The data are taken at face value but the topology (S1P has an ER signal peptide and lumenal catalytic domain) is unexplained, so the location is non-core pending independent confirmation. ORGANELLES check (2026-11-03): the full text was read. The fractionation is better controlled than a crude pellet, since the mitochondrial fraction (COX IV) was separated from an ER fraction (ERp72), Golgi (GM130) and lysosomes (LAMP1), so the ER/MAM carry-over concern does not by itself explain the signal; the row stays KEEP_AS_NON_CORE as direct evidence under rule 2. Stays at the root: the same paper's proteinase K assay found S1P protected after removal of the outer membrane and read this as matrix, and its partners ETFA/ETFB are matrix flavoproteins, but these lines conflict with S1P's curated ER and Golgi single-pass type I membrane topology with a lumenal protease domain, the protection assay only shows a location inside the outer membrane (inner membrane or matrix), and all of it comes from one study, so no GO:0005759 row is added.

GO:0031293 membrane protein intracellular domain proteolysis
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
ACCEPT
Summary: Ensembl Compara transfer of membrane protein intracellular domain proteolysis from mouse.
Reason: S1P catalyses the first, luminal cleavage of regulated intramembrane proteolysis that ultimately releases the cytosolic domains of SREBPs, ATF6 and CREB3-family factors; it does part of the work of this process.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:8674110
The first, regulated by sterols, occurs in the lumenal loop.
PMID:9809072
Release is initiated by Site-1 protease (S1P), which cleaves SREBPs in the ER luminal loop between two membrane-spanning regions.
PMID:11163209
Here, we show that ATF6 is processed by Site-1 protease (S1P) and Site-2 protease (S2P), the enzymes that process SREBPs in response to cholesterol deprivation.

ISS
GO_REF:0000024
MODIFY
Summary: ISS from hamster S1P (Q9Z2A8) for response to ER stress.
Reason: True but general. The participation of S1P in ER stress responses is through cleavage of ATF6/ATF6B (and CREB3 family) and is better captured by ATF6-mediated unfolded protein response, which the gene already carries.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11163209
Here, we show that ATF6 is processed by Site-1 protease (S1P) and Site-2 protease (S2P), the enzymes that process SREBPs in response to cholesterol deprivation.
PMID:11163209
We conclude that S1P and S2P are required for the ER stress response as well as for lipid synthesis.

Summary: Review: ATF6 is cleaved by S1P and S2P in the Golgi during the UPR.
Reason: S1P catalyses the first cleavage step of ATF6 activation; core process.
Supporting Evidence:

ATF6 activation as part of the UPR leads to its translocation to the Golgi and cleavage by site-1 protease (S1P) and S2P.

AEBSF also inhibited production of the mature form of SREBP-2 that was induced in response to sterol depletion, and appeared to directly prevent cleavage of ATF6alpha and ATF6beta by inhibiting Site-1 protease.
GO:0045540 regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-1655829
MODIFY
Summary: Reactome: SREBP cleavage by S1P then S2P regulates cholesterol biosynthesis.
Reason: S1P cleavage is the activating step for SREBPs, so the effect is positive. Refine to positive regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process, the term used for the S1P/S2P proteases in mouse and for human MBTPS2.
Supporting Evidence:
Reactome:R-HSA-1655829
In the Golgi SREBP is cleaved by S1P and then by S2P, releasing the N-terminal fragment of SREBP into the cytosol.

Summary: S1P cleavage of the GNPTAB alpha/beta precursor is required for GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase activity.

Proposed replacements: protein processing

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: S1P deficiency impairs BBF2H7 activation, TANGO1/SEC23A expression and mega-vesicle collagen export, and M6P-dependent lysosomal enzyme delivery.
Reason: S1P influences vesicle trafficking indirectly, by activating BBF2H7/CREB3L2 (which induces the mega-vesicle machinery) and GNPTAB (M6P sorting). This is a legitimate regulatory role but downstream of the core protease activity.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:30046013
The defective S1P function specifically impairs activation of the ER stress transducer BBF2H7, leading to ER retention of collagen in chondrocytes.
PMID:30046013
S1P proteolytically activates membrane-bound transcription factor BBF2H7, a key UPR transducer, to regulate expression of a set of genes ( Sec23a, Tango1, Sedlin, and Hsp47 ) essential for the formation of mega vesicles in ECM-secreting cells
PMID:30046013
S1P deficiency also causes abnormal secretion of lysosomal enzymes due to partial impairment of mannose-6-phosphate-dependent delivery to lysosomes.

NEW
Summary: S1P is synthesized as a zymogen whose propeptide (18-186) is removed by intramolecular autocatalytic cleavage after RRLL186, followed by further cleavage of prosegment fragments.
Reason: Autoprocessing passes the participation test because the substrate is the enzyme itself. Peptides spanning the RRLL186 and RSLK137 prosegment sites are cleaved by SKI-1, and genomic analysis describes self-activation by intramolecular cleavage. UniProt records the autolytic cleavage site with experimental evidence.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10644685
Among the candidate peptides encompassing sections of the SKI-1 prosegment, the RSLK(137)- and RRLL(186)-containing peptides were best cleaved by this enzyme.

Core Functions

Golgi-resident subtilisin-like serine endopeptidase that performs the first (lumenal, RxxL-directed) cleavage in regulated intramembrane proteolysis of membrane-bound bZIP transcription factors, principally SREBP-1/-2 (sterol-regulated lipid synthesis) and ATF6/ATF6B (ER unfolded protein response), as well as CREB3-family transducers; the cleaved intermediates are then substrates for site-2 protease (MBTPS2).

    As the Site-1 protease is localized in the Golgi apparatus, both SREBP and ATF6 must relocate to the Golgi apparatus to be cleaved.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should the S1P/S2P proteases carry GO:0032933 SREBP signaling pathway? In human, mouse and rat it is held by SCAP, INSIG1/2, SREBF1/2 and ERLIN1/2 but by no protease, while the parallel ATF6 pathway term (GO:0036500) is annotated to S1P and S2P.

Q: How does a mitochondrial pool of S1P arise given its ER signal peptide and lumenal catalytic domain, and is the reported protease-independent stabilization of ETFA/ETFB reproducible in other cell types?

Q: What determines substrate selection in SEDKF patients with about 1% residual S1P, where SREBP processing is preserved but BBF2H7 and GNPTAB processing fail?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Titrate S1P activity (inducible knockdown or graded inhibitor PF-429242) in chondrocytes and fibroblasts and quantify processing of SREBP2, ATF6, CREB3L2 and GNPTAB in parallel to define substrate-specific sensitivity thresholds.

Experiment: Use protease-protection and organelle fractionation with epitope-tagged endogenous MBTPS1 to test for, and map the topology of, the proposed mitochondrial S1P pool and its association with ETFA/ETFB.
