PCSK9, a target for the treatment of dyslipidemia, enhances the degradation of the LDL receptor (LDLR) in endosomes/lysosomes, up-regulating LDL-cholesterol levels. Whereas the targeting and degradation of the PCSK9-LDLR complex are under scrutiny, the roles of the N- and C-terminal domains of PCSK9 are unknown. Although autocatalytic zymogen processing of PCSK9 occurs at Gln¹⁵²downward arrow, here we show that human PCSK9 can be further cleaved in its N-terminal prosegment at Arg⁴⁶downward arrow by an endogenous enzyme of insect High Five cells and by a cellular mammalian protease, yielding an ~4-fold enhanced activity. Removal of the prosegment acidic stretch resulted in ~3-fold higher binding to LDLR in vitro, in ≥4-fold increased activity on cellular LDLR, and faster cellular internalization in endosome/lysosome-like compartments. Finally, swapping the acidic stretch of PCSK9 with a similar one found in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored heparin-binding protein 1 does not impair PCSK9 autoprocessing, secretion, or activity and confirmed that the acidic stretch acts as an inhibitor of PCSK9 function. We also show that upon short exposure to pH values 6.5 to 5.5, an ~2.5-fold increase in PCSK9 activity on total and cell surface LDLR occurs, and PCSK9 undergoes a second cleavage at Arg²⁴⁸, generating a two-chain PCSK9-ΔN²⁴⁸. At pH values below 5.5, PCSK9 dissociates from its prosegment and loses its activity. This pH-dependent activation of PCSK9 represents a novel pathway to further activate PCSK9 in acidic endosomes. These data enhance our understanding of the functional role of the acidic prosegment and on the effect of pH in the regulation of PCSK9 activity.
