Abstract Lysosomes contain more than 50 soluble hydrolases that are targeted to lysosomes in a mannose 6-phosphate (Man6P)-dependent manner. The phosphorylation of man- nose residues on high mannose-type oligosaccharides of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes is catalyzed by two multimeric enzymes, GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase and GlcNAc-1-phosphodiester-α-N-acetylglucosaminidase, allowing the binding to two distinct Man6P receptors in the Golgi apparatus. Inherited defects in the GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase complex result in missorting and cellular loss of lysosomal enzymes, and the subsequent lysosomal dysfunction causes the lysosomal storage disorders mucolipidosis types II and III. Biosynthetic studies and the availability of Man6P receptor-deficient mouse models have provided new insights into the structural requirements for preferential binding of subsets of lysosomal enzymes to Man6P receptors as well as the identification of alternative targeting pathways.

The intracellular transport of newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases to lysosomes requires the presence of one or more phosphorylated high mannose-type oligosaccharides per enzyme. A receptor that mediates mannose-6-PO4-specific uptake of lysosomal enzymes is expressed on the surface of fibroblasts and presumably accounts for the intracellular transport of newly synthesized enzymes to the lysosome. In this study, we examined the internalization of lysosomal enzyme-derived phosphorylated oligosaccharides by cultured human fibroblasts. Oligosaccharides of known specific activity bearing a single phosphate in monoester linkage were internalized with Kuptake of 3.2 X 10(-7) M, whereas oligosaccharides bearing two phosphates in monoester linkage were internalized with a Kuptake of 3.9 X 10(-8) M. Thus, phosphorylated high mannose-type oligosaccharides appear to be the minimal structure required for recognition and uptake by the fibroblast receptor. The finding that the Kuptake for monophosphorylated oligosaccharides is 100-fold less than the reported Ki for mannose-6-phosphate indicates that the fibroblast phosphomannosyl receptor contains a binding site that recognizes features of the oligosaccharide in addition to mannose-6-phosphate.

In cultured human fibroblasts, maturation of the lysosomal enzymes beta-hexosaminidase and cathepsin D is inhibited by 10 mM-potassium cyanate. In cells treated with cyanate the two enzymes accumulate in precursor forms. The location of the accumulated precursor is probably non-lysosomal; in fractionation experiments the precursors separate from the bulk of the beta-hexosaminidase activity. The secretion of the precursor of cathepsin D, but not that of beta-hexosaminidase precursor, is enhanced in the presence of cyanate. The secreted cathepsin D, as well as that remaining within the cells, contains mostly high-mannose oligosaccharides cleavable with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. After removal of cyanate, the accumulated precursor forms of the lysosomal enzymes are largely released from the pretreated cells. It is concluded that cyanate interferes with the maturation of lysosomal-enzyme precursors by perturbing their intracellular transport. Most probably cyanate affects certain functions of the Golgi apparatus.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of rare, genetic lysosomal storage disorders. They are caused by deficiencies of the lysosomal enzymes involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Pain is a common feature in mucopolysaccharidoses. However, the pathophysiology of pain in this group of diseases is still unclear and genesis of pain is multifactorial. Currently, poor data about pain management in these patients are available. Here, we present our clinical experience in complex pain management in three children with MPS.

Pharmacological chaperones (PCs) are small compounds able to rescue the activity of mutated lysosomal enzymes when used at subinhibitory concentrations. Nitrogen-containing glycomimetics such as aza- or iminosugars are known to behave as PCs for lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). As part of our research into lysosomal sphingolipidoses inhibitors and looking in particular for new β-galactosidase inhibitors, we report the synthesis of a series of alkylated azasugars with a relative “all-cis” configuration at the hydroxy/amine-substituted stereocenters. The novel compounds were synthesized from a common carbohydrate-derived piperidinone intermediate 8, through reductive amination or alkylation of the derived alcohol. In addition, the reaction of ketone 8 with several lithium acetylides allowed the stereoselective synthesis of new azasugars alkylated at C-3. The activity of the new compounds towards lysosomal β-galactosidase was negligible, showing that the presence of an alkyl chain in this position is detrimental to inhibitory activity. Interestingly, 9, 10, and 12 behave as good inhibitors of lysosomal β-glucosidase (GCase) (IC50 = 12, 6.4, and 60 µM, respectively). When tested on cell lines bearing the Gaucher mutation, they did not impart any enzyme rescue. However, altogether, the data included in this work give interesting hints for the design of novel inhibitors.

Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a family of disorders that result from inherited gene mutations that perturb lysosomal homeostasis. LSDs mainly stem from deficiencies in lysosomal enzymes, but also in some non-enzymatic lysosomal proteins, which lead to abnormal storage of macromolecular substrates. Valuable insights into lysosome functions have emerged from research into these diseases. In addition to primary lysosomal dysfunction, cellular pathways associated with other membrane-bound organelles are perturbed in these disorders. Through selective examples, we illustrate why the term “cellular storage disorders” may be a more appropriate description of these diseases and discuss therapies that can alleviate storage and restore normal cellular function.

1. The following fractions were prepared from rat kidney and characterized ultrastructurally, biochemically and enzymically: (a) an ordinary rough microsomal (RM1) fraction; (b) a special rough microsomal (RM2) fraction enriched seven- to nine-fold in acid hydrolases over the homogenate; (c) a smooth microsomal (SM) fraction; (d) a Golgi (GM) fraction enriched 2.5-fold in acid hydrolases and 10-, 15- and 20-fold in sialyltransferase, N-acetyl-lactosamine synthetase and galactosyltransferase respectively; (e) a lysosomal (L) fraction enriched 15- to 23-fold in acid hydrolases. The frequency of Golgi sacs and tubules seen in the electron microscope and the specific activity of the three glycosyltransferases in these fractions increased in the order: RM2<RM1<SM<GM. 2. Five lysosomal hydrolases, acid phosphatase, β-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase and arylsulphatase, were characterized in these fractions with respect to (a) solubility on freeze–thawing and (b) electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels. 3. In the RM2 fraction each of these hydrolases occurred largely or exclusively as a single bound basic form coincident with cationic glycoprotein bands in gels (Goldstone et al., 1973). 4. In the L fraction these hydrolases were present largely as soluble, acidic (anionic) forms. 5. The solubility, electrophoretic heterogeneity and anodic mobility of these hydrolases increased progressively in subcellular fractions in the order: RM2<RM1<SM<GM<L. 6. These findings, together with evidence cited in the text showing that N-acetylneuraminic acid residues are responsible for the solubility and electronegative charge of these acidic forms and incorporation of these residues into the Golgi apparatus, support the following scheme for the biosynthesis of lysosomal enzymes. Each hydrolase is synthesized as a bound basic glycoprotein enzyme in a restricted portion of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The soluble, acidic forms are generated as the nascent glycoprotein enzymes migrate through the Golgi apparatus through the attachment of sugar sequences containing N-acetylneuraminic acid.

AbstractAccumulation of the protein α-synuclein into insoluble intracellular deposits termed Lewy bodies (LBs) is the characteristic neuropathological feature of LB diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with LB (DLB). α-Synuclein aggregation is thought to be a critical pathogenic event in the aetiology of LB disease, based on genetic analyses, fundamental studies using model systems, and the observation of LB pathology in post-mortem tissue. However, some monogenic disorders not traditionally characterised as synucleinopathies, such as lysosomal storage disorders, iron storage disorders and mitochondrial diseases, appear disproportionately vulnerable to the deposition of LBs, perhaps suggesting the process of LB formation may be a result of processes perturbed as a result of these conditions. The present review discusses biological pathways common to monogenic disorders associated with LB formation, identifying catabolic processes, particularly related to lipid homeostasis, autophagy and mitochondrial function, as processes that could contribute to LB formation. These findings are discussed in the context of known mediators of α-synuclein aggregation, highlighting the potential influence of impairments to these processes in the aetiology of LB formation.
