A binding protein for lysosomal enzymes isolated from brain by phosphomannan-sepharose chromatography. 1983

K Alvares, and A S Balasubramanian

We have isolated from monkey (Macaca radiata) brain lysosomal fraction by phosphomannan-Sepharose chromatography a protein that binds four different lysosomal enzymes, beta-hexosaminidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and arylsulfatase. The isolated protein which appeared in an aggregated homogeneous form on gel electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions at both pH 8.3 and pH 5.0 was found to be heterogeneous on SDS-gel electrophoresis with molecular weights less than 67,000. Binding was partly abolished by periodate treatment or by alkaline phosphatase treatment of the lysosomal enzymes. Binding was completely abolished by pronase digestion of the binding protein. Of the different sugars tested for inhibition of binding, mannose-6-phosphate was most effective followed by mannose and N-acetyl glucosamine while glucose and fucose were ineffective.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.
