SUMMARY Changes in four hydrolytic enzymes, namely acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, arylsulphatase A and B, of the cervix of the rat and hamster have been studied during the 4-day oestrous cycle. All four enzymes showed maximal activity on the day of oestrus and least activity on day 2 of dioestrus. All the enzymes showed significant reduction of activity after ovariectomy, arylsulphatase A and B showing the earliest changes in specific activity. A single subcutaneous injection of 0·02 μg oestradiol-17β/rat increased the specific activity of arylsulphatase A and B from the low ovariectomized level to that observed in control oestrous animals within 18 and 6 h respectively. A higher concentration of oestradiol-17β (2·0 μg) had an inhibitory effect. Progesterone was without effect on arylsulphatase B activity, but when given (2·0 mg) with 0·02 μg oestradiol-17β, it inhibited the response to oestrogen. Cycloheximide prevented the rise in arylsulphatase B activity occurring after oestrogen injection, suggesting a regulation of cervical arylsulphatase B at the level of protein biosynthesis. These results suggest that arylsulphatase B activity may be induced by oestrogen in the cervix of the rat.

Recessive Defect

Adult metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD) is a rare demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by a genetic autosomal recessive defect and mediated through a deficiency in the enzyme arylsulphatase A (Peiffer, 1970). The initial manifestation may take the form of symptoms suggestive of schizophrenia or dementia (Sourander et al, 1962; Austin et al, 1968).

Polypeptide Structure

Human platelet arylsulphatase A (ASA) exhibits a multiple banding pattern when examined by PAGE. The isoform pattern (IVa) of the enzyme obtained from normal subjects differs from variants (IIIa, IIIb, IVb) which are primarily found in alcoholic patients. Alkaline phosphatase and endo-N-acetylglucosaminidase H treatments, as well as ion-exchange chromatography, demonstrate that the isoforms of ASA arise because of charge heterogeneity caused by phosphoglycan moieties. The isoform with the slowest mobility in PAGE lacks phosphate substituents. Based upon mannose-6-phosphate-receptor affinity chromatography it can be concluded that most, if not all, of the enzyme-linked phosphate is in the form of 6-O-phospho-D-mannosyl units. Lectin affinity chromatography and peptide-N-glycosidase F treatment followed by SDS/PAGE and Western-blot analysis indicate that normal platelet ASA contains two oligomannose and/or hybrid glycan moieties of which one, or both, possess a 6-O-L-fucosyl substituent on the asparagine-linked N-acetylglucosamine residue. Comparative analysis indicates that the variant IIIa and IIIb types of ASA differ from the IVa ASA with regard to the level of glycan phosphorylation and glycan structure, as well as the polypeptide structure.
