Profound iduronate sulfatase deficiency, characteristic of the Hunter syndrome, has been found in cultured fibroblasts, serum, lymphocytes, and tissues of two clinically affected girls. The patients are karyotypically normal and have normal fathers; cloning of the mothers' fibroblasts did not reveal the mosaicism expected of carriers of an X-linked disease. Homozygosity for a previously unsuspected autosomal recessive gene for iduronate sulfatase is considered the most likely explanation, although heterozygosity for the X-linked gene and subsequent selection cannot be completely excluded. 相似文献

The exogenous addition of iduronate sulfate sulfatase to cultured fibroblasts of Hunter patients resulted in a full correction of the metabolic defect as demonstrated by chemical and ultrastructural analyses. As little as 25% of the normal fibroblasts' enzyme levels were sufficient for this correction. The half-disappearance time of the internalized enzyme was 3–4 days. Prolonged incubation of corrected cells resulted in a gradual reaccumulation of mucopolysaccharides. 相似文献

Iduronate sulfatase, the enzyme deficient in Hunter syndrome, can be readily measured in individual hair roots. Samples from Hunter syndrome hemizygotes had activities at or near the limits of detection. Samples from two mothers of Hunter syndrome patients, one an obligate heterozygote, had lower average iduronate sulfatase activity than the normal mean, and a significant number of hair roots had activity in the pathognomic range. A third mother showed a normal distribution of enzyme activity, and no hair roots were in the range of those from an affected individual. These results are similar to studies on the distribution of other X-linked enzymes in individual hair root samples from heterozygotes. This suggests that hair root iduronate sulfatase assessment is useful in the detection of Hunter syndrome carrier status, but further refinement of the test system is necessary. 相似文献

We have developed a procedure for testing iduronate sulfatase, the enzyme deficient in Hunter syndrome, in single hair roots. Beta-Hexosaminidase was used as the reference enzyme. The ratio of iduronate sulfatase to beta--hexosaminidase, expressed in arbitrary units of activity, is near zero for Hunter patients and greater than 0.6 in almost all roots of normal individuals. Hair roots of Hunter heterozygotes show a characteristic continuum of activity ratios, ranging from totally deficient up to and including the normal range. The results are consistent with the origin of hair roots from a small number of progenitor cells which obey the Lyon hypothesis. The proportion of roots with low activity can be used to discriminate between normal and heterozygous individuals. 相似文献

Ficoll gradients have been used to enrich for heterokaryons in cultures of human skin fibroblasts following polyethylene glycol (PEG) induced fusion. These gradients provide a simple and consistent method for obtaining populations of multinucleated cells, at least twofold greater than those resulting from fusion alone. Formation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) heteropolymers has been used as a functional assay for the presence of heterokaryons. Analysis of cell populations enriched for multinucleated cells has revealed complementation leading to iduronate sulfatase activity in heterokaryons derived from iduronate sulfatase-deficient fibroblasts expressing the Hunter and multiple sulfatase-deficiency mutations. 相似文献

N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase in human placenta: purification and characteristics. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
N-Acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase from human placenta was purified 33,600-fold using beta-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 6-sulfate-(1----4)-beta-D-glucuronic acid-(1----3)-N-acetyl-D-[3H]galactosaminitol 6-sulfate as the substrate. This enzyme is an oligomer with a molecular mass of 120 kDa and consists of polypeptides of 40 and 15 kDa. The 15 kDa polypeptide is a glycoprotein. This purified protein has activities of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase and galactose-6-sulfate sulfatase. Rabbit antiserum was raised against the purified protein. The antibody titrated N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase and galactose-6-sulfate sulfatase. The size of the precursor of the enzyme is 60 kDa, as determined by cell-free translation. The optimal pH values of the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase and galactose-6-sulfate sulfatase activities are pH 3.8-4.0, and the Kms are 8 and 13 microM, respectively. Sulfate and phosphate ions are potent competitive inhibitors for the enzyme and their inhibition constants are 35 and 200 microM, respectively. Cross-reactive materials of 40 and 15 kDa were detected by immunoblot analysis, in the placenta, liver, and normal fibroblasts, but not in fibroblasts from a patient with Morquio disease. 相似文献

Iduronate sulfatase from human placenta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The major enzyme component of iduronate sulfatase from human placenta was purified 30 000-fold by a five-step procedure. Sucrose gradient centrifugation of the native enzyme gave a molecular weight estimate of 80 000 +/- 10 000. Electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate of the enzyme reduced with mercaptoethanol showed a protein band of Mr 82 000. We suggest that the enzyme is composed of a single polypeptide chain of Mr 80 000-90 000. 相似文献

Antibodies raised against steroid sulfatase purified from human placenta were used to follow the biosynthesis of this enzyme in human skin fibroblasts. Steroid sulfatase is synthesized as a membrane-bound Mr-63 500 polypeptide with asparagine-linked oligosaccharide chains. Within 2 days, newly synthesized steroid sulfatase is processed to a mature Mr-61 000 form. The decrease in size is due to processing of the oligosaccharide chains, which are cleavable by endoglucosaminidase H in both the early and the mature form of steroid sulfatase. The processing involves mannosidase(s) sensitive to 1-deoxy-manno-nojirimycin. The half-life of the steroid sulfatase polypeptides is 4 days. Synthesis of steroid-sulfatase-related polypeptides and steroid sulfatase activity were not detectable in fibroblasts from four patients with X-linked ichthyosis. 相似文献

Fibroblast cultures derived from the skin of three Hunter heterozygotes have been examined for iduronate sulfatase deficiency primarily by measurement of [35S]-mucopolysaccharide accumulation in the presence and absence of Hunter corrective factor. For each heterozygote, two populations of clones were observed: normal and enzyme deficient, as predicted by the Lyon hypothesis. However, the phenotype of the uncloned cultures was usually normal, presumably because of cross-correction, even after storage in liquid N2. Mixing experiments indicate that the presence of a majority of cells with the Hunter phenotype may be obscured as the result of correction by the minority population of normal cells in the mixture. Variability in the ability to cross-correct was also demonstrated. The unpredictable behavior of uncloned cultures make them unsuitable for diagnosing the Hunter carrier state. 相似文献

The preparation of the enzyme iduronate sulfatase from human placenta has been undertaken. The substrate O-(alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid 2-sulfate) (1 leads to 4)-2,5-anhydro-D-[3H]mannitol 6-sulfate was used to measure the enzymatic activity. The enzyme shows a pH optimum of 4.0 in 0.1 M sodium formiate or acetate buffer. Chromatography on DE-52 gives a 5.4 fold purification. The enzyme is inhibited by NaCl or KCl: in 20 mM salt the reaction rate was only 63% and 34% respectively. Inhibition by salt can be removed by extensive dialysis after the chromatographic step. 相似文献

Summary We report on three independent cases with a partial deficiency of placental steroid sulfatase (E.C.3.1.6.2). Upon routine pregnancy monitoring these patients were detected on the basis of low estriol excretion and failing induction of labor. In all three cases a male was delivered and subsequently the diagnosis of partial deficiency of placental steroid sulfatase was confirmed enzymatically in placenta homogenates. In one case, fibroblast cultures were established from skin explants of mother and son. In fibroblasts of the child, as in placental tissue, the activity of steroid sulfatase was only 34% of normal. Similar values were obtained for arylsulfatase C, though this enzyme is clearly separable from steroid sulfatase by electrophoresis. In cells of the mother, enzyme activities were unremarkable. 相似文献

Effects of polyanions and polycations on the trehalose phosphate synthetase of Mycobacterium smegmatis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
When tested as activators on the trehalose phosphate synthetase [UDP-d-glucose:d-glucose 6-phosphate α-d-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.15 (46)] from Mycobacterium smegmatis, heparin was the best, various other sulfated polysaccharides (especially chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfates, dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, and γ-carrageenan) and polynucleotides were good, but hyaluronic acid, d-galacturonan, dextran sulfate, and keratan sulfate, were poor. Digestion of chondroitin sulfate with hyaluronidase destroyed the activating ability, but separation of the digestion products on Sephadex G-100 resin gave large-molecular-weight componentns that still showed activating ability. A sulfated tetra- or octa-saccharide isolated from chondroitin sulfate did not activate the enzyme, nor did they prevent the activation by chondroitin sulfate, suggesting that these small polyanions do not bind to the enzyme. Among polycations, poly-dl-ornithine (mol. wt. 15,600 daltons) was the best inhibitor of the enzyme followed by poly-l-lysine (mol. wt. 4,000 daltons), poly-d-lysine (mol. wt. 70,000 daltons), poly-d,l-lysine (mol. wt. 35,000 daltons), and then poly-l-ornithine (mol. wt. 120,000 daltons); polyglycine, polyleucine, and polyhistidine showed no effect. In all cases, more polycation was required to inhibit the enzyme when heparin was used as the activator than when chondroitin sulfate was used. The order of mixing of various reaction components was important for the extent of inhibition, the greates inhibition being observed when polyanion and polycation were mixed before the addition of enzyme, and the smallest when polyanion and enzyme were mixed before the addition of polycation. 相似文献

Synthesis and stability of steroid sulfatase in fibroblasts from multiple sulfatase deficiency 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Multiple sulfatase deficiency is a lysosomal storage disorder, which can be divided into group I with severe and group II with moderate deficiencies in sulfatases. Antibodies raised against steroid sulfatase purified from human placenta were used to follow the biosynthesis and stability of this enzyme in multiple sulfatase-deficiency fibroblasts. Fibroblasts from both groups synthesized steroid sulfatase of apparently normal size and stability, while the apparent rate of enzyme synthesis and catalytic properties of steroid sulfatase were affected to a variable extent. Cell lines were observed, that synthesized normal amounts of steroid-sulfatase polypeptides, which were catalytically inactive, as well as cell lines that synthesized diminished amounts of catalytically active steroid sulfatase. 相似文献

Synthesis and stability of arylsulfatase A and B in fibroblasts from multiple sulfatase deficiency 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Fibroblasts from patients with multiple sulfatase deficiency were analyzed for activities of arylsulfatase A and B, iduronate 2-sulfatase and sulfamatase. A group of patients (group I) severely deficient in all sulfatases (residual activities less than or equal to 10% of control) were differentiated from patients (group II) with residual sulfatase activities of up to 90% of control. The synthesis and stability of arylsulfatase A and B were determined in pulse-chase labelling experiments. The apparent rate of synthesis of arylsulfatase A and B varied from 30% to normal in both fibroblasts from group I and II multiple sulfatase deficiency. In group I the molecular activity of the arylsulfatase A and B was more than 10-fold lower than in control fibroblasts. In group II the molecular activity of the arylsulfatase A was twofold to threefold lower and that of arylsulfatase B half of normal. In fibroblasts of both groups the stability of arylsulfatase A polypeptides was significantly diminished. For arylsulfatase B the instability was restricted to the mature 47000-Mr polypeptide and was variable within both groups. These results demonstrate that multiple sulfatase deficiency is a heterogeneous disorder, in which the primary defects can impair both the catalytic properties and the stability of sulfatases. 相似文献

Sulfated glycosaminoglycan chains of extracellular matrix and cell membrane-tethered proteoglycans exert specific cellular functions by interacting with a broad spectrum of morphogens and growth factors.In humans, a congenital impaired catabolism of sulfated glycosaminoglycans is associated with severe metabolic disorders. Here, we report on the identification and characterization of a zebrafish iduronate sulfatase orthologue. By knocking down its function with antisense morpholino oligos, we demonstrate that iduronate sulfatase plays a critical role during early vertebrate development and its downregulation may be responsible for severe developmental defects, including a misshapen trunk and abnormal craniofacial cartilages. We show that the altered cartilage patterning is mediated by depauperation of sox10-expressing neural crest cell precursors. Through the application of a transactivation reporter assay, we also provide a molecular proof that increased TGFβ (Transforming Growth Factor β) signalling is tightly associated with downregulation of iduronate sulfatase function. Our results provide an insight into the early biological impairments underlying the Hunter syndrome and suggest the use of zebrafish as a novel tool to better understand lysosomal storage disorder pathogenesis. 相似文献

Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis-II) is caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. The assay of this sulfatase requires the use of α-l-iduronate glycosides containing a sulfate at the 2-position. We report a simple, three-step procedure for the introduction of sulfate at the 2-position starting with the methyl ester of α-l-iduronate glycosides. The procedure involves protection of the 2- and 4-hydroxyl groups of the iduronate moiety as the dibutyl stannylene acetal, selective sulfation with sulfur trioxide-trimethylamine, and deprotection of the methyl ester to afford the desired 2-sulfate in 61% overall yield. 相似文献

Acid α-glucosidase purified from human placenta was used to immunize a mouse (strain Balb/cHeA) according to a procedure described earlier (Stähli, C., Staehlin, T., Miggiano, V., Schmidt, J. and Häring, P. (1980) J. Immunol. Methods 32, 297–304). After fusion of spleen cells with myelona cells, about 10% of the hybrid clones obtained produced antibodies against acid α-glucosidase. Finally, eight stable clones producing antibodies against the enzyme were obtained. When purified acid α-glucosidase is analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate, two major major protein bands (mol. wt. 76 000 and 70 000), a minor band of mol. wt. 96 000 and several minor bands with a mol. wt. of 67 000 or lower are seen. Since all these component react with the monoclonal antibodies, they must have at least one antigenic determinant in common. 相似文献

Localization of steroid sulfatase, a membrane-bound microsomal enzyme, in human fallopian tubes was immunohistochemically investigated, and expression of RNA was confirmed by competitive RT-PCR. Human fallopian tubes were obtained from 10 patients in follicular and early luteal phases during gynecological laparotomy. An anti-human rabbit polyclonal antibody was prepared against sulfatase protein purified from human placenta. Total RNA was isolated from epithelium of fallopian tubes. A heterologous RNA competitor was designed, and competitive RT-PCR was carried out. Steroid sulfatase was localized to the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. With respect to the positive staining of cells, the number of positive secretory cells was higher than that of ciliated cells. A significantly higher number of positive cells was found in tissue obtained from the early luteal phase than that found in tissue from the follicular phase. An abundant expression of sulfatase mRNA in early luteal phase was also observed. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that steroid sulfatase is localized to human epithelial cells and that steroid sulfatase staining and mRNA expression changes with the menstrual cycle. These results suggest that sulfatase in the fallopian tube may be involved in controlling the local steroid environment, which appears to regulate aspects of the physiological reproductive function of the fallopian tube. 相似文献

Arylsulfatase C and steroid sulfatase were thought to be identical enzymes. However, recent evidence showed that human arylsulfatase C consists of two isozymes, s and f. In this study, the biochemical properties of the s form partially purified from human placenta were compared with those of the f form from human liver. Only the placental s form has steroid sulfatase activity and hydrolyses estrone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and cholesterol sulfate. The liver f form has barely detectable activity towards these sterol sulfates. With the artificial substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfate, both forms demonstrated a similar KM but the liver enzyme has a pH optimum of 6.9 while the placental form displayed two optima at 7.3 and 5.5. The molecular weight of the native enzyme determined with gel filtration was 183,000 for the s form and 200,000 for the f form and their pI's were also similar at 6.5. However, the T50, temperature at which half of the enzyme activity was lost, was 49.5 degrees C for the f form and 56.8 degrees C for the s form. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the placental form reacted specifically against the s and not the f form. They immuno-precipitated concomitantly greater than 80% of the total placental arylsulfatase C and steroid sulfatase activities while less than 20% of the liver enzyme was immuno-precipitable. In conclusion, the two isozymes s and f of arylsulfatase C in humans purified from placenta and liver, respectively, have similar KM, pI' and native molecular weight. However, they are distinct proteins with different substrate specificity, pH optima, heat-lability and antigenic properties. Only the s form is confirmed to be steroid sulfatase. 相似文献

Steroid sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.2) is an enzyme that removes the sulfate group from 3β-hydroxysteroid sulfates. This enzyme is best known for its role in estrogen production via the fetal adrenal–placental pathway during pregnancy; however, it also has important functions in other physiological and pathological steroid pathways. The objective of this study was to examine the distribution of steroid sulfatase in normal human tissues and in breast cancers using immunohistochemistry, employing a newly developed steroid sulfatase antibody. A rabbit polyclonal antiserum was generated against a peptide representing a conserved region of the steroid sulfatase protein. In Western blotting experiments using human placental microsomes, this antiserum crossreacted with a 65 kDa protein, the reported size of steroid sulfatase. The antiserum also crossreacted with single protein bands in Western blots of microsomes from two human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and from rat liver; however, there were some size differences in the immunoreactive bands among tissues. The steroid sulfatase antibody was used in immunohistochemical analyses of individual human tissue slides as well as a human tissue microarray. For single tissues, human placenta and liver showed strong positive staining against the steroid sulfatase antibody. ER+/PR+ breast cancers also showed relatively strong levels of steroid sulfatase immunoreactivity. Normal human breast showed moderate levels of steroid sulfatase immunoreactivity, while ER−/PR− breast cancer showed weak immunoreactivity. This confirms previous reports that steroid sulfatase is higher in hormone-dependent breast cancers. For the tissue microarray, most tissues showed some detectable level of steroid sulfatase immunoreactivity, but there were considerable differences among tissues, with skin, liver and lymph nodes having the highest immunoreactivity and brain tissues having the lowest. These data reveal the utility of immunohistochemistry in evaluation of steroid sulfatase activity among tissues. The newly developed antibody should be useful in studies of both humans and rats. 相似文献
