Abstract

Three different mammalian sialidases have been described as follows: lysosomal (Neu1, gene NEU1), cytoplasmic (Neu2, gene NEU2), and plasma membrane (Neu3, gene NEU3). Because of mutations in the NEU1 gene, the inherited deficiency of Neu1 in humans causes the severe multisystemic neurodegenerative disorder sialidosis. Galactosialidosis, a clinically similar disorder, is caused by the secondary Neu1 deficiency because of genetic defects in cathepsin A that form a complex with Neu1 and activate it. In this study we describe a novel lysosomal lumen sialidase encoded by the NEU4 gene on human chromosome 2 VSports手机版. We demonstrate that Neu4 is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues and has broad substrate specificity by being active against sialylated oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, and gangliosides. In contrast to Neu1, Neu4 is targeted to lysosomes by the mannose 6-phosphate receptor and does not require association with other proteins for enzymatic activity. Expression of Neu4 in the cells of sialidosis and galactosialidosis patients results in clearance of storage materials from lysosomes suggesting that Neu4 may be useful for developing new therapies for these conditions. .
