Abstract

Mannose 6-phosphate-modified N-glycans are the determinant for intracellular targeting of newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases to the lysosome. The enzyme responsible for the initial step in the synthesis of mannose 6-phosphate is UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:lysosomal-enzyme-N-acetylglucosmine-1-phosphotransferase(GlcNAc-phosphotransferase). GlcNAc-phosphotransferase is a multisubunit enzyme with an alpha2beta2gamma2 arrangement that requires a detergent for solubilization. Recent cloning of cDNAs and genes encoding these subunits revealed that the alpha- and beta-subunits are encoded by a single gene as a precursor, whereas the gamma-subunit is encoded by a second gene. The hydropathy plots of the deduced amino acid sequences suggested that the alpha- and beta-subunits but not the gamma-subunit contain transmembrane domains. Access to these cDNAs allowed us to express a soluble form of human recombinant GlcNAc-phosphotransferase by removing the putative transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains from the alpha- and beta-subunits. Because this modification prevented precursor processing to mature alpha- and beta-subunits, the native cleavage sequence was replaced by a cleavage site for furin. When the modified alpha/beta-subunits (alp...Continue Reading
