Melanosomes and lysosomes share several structural and biosynthetic properties. Therefore, a large number of mouse pigment mutants were tested to determine whether genes affecting melanosome structure of function might also affect the lysosome. Among 31 mouse pigment mutants, six had 1.5- to 2.5-fold increased concentrations of kidney beta-glucuronidase. Three mutants, pale ear, pearl and pallid, had a generalized effect on lysosomal enzymes since there were coordinate increases in kidney beta-galactosidase and alpha-mannosidase. The effects of these three mutations are lysosome specific since rates of kidney protein synthesis and activities of three nonlysosomal kidney enzymes were normal. Also, the mutants are relatively tissue specific in that all had normal liver lysosomal enzyme concentrations.--A common dysfunction in all three mutants was a lowered rate of lysosomal enzyme secretion from kidney into urine. While normal C57BL/6J mice daily secreted 27 to 30% of total kidney beta-glucuronidase and beta-galactosidase, secretion of these two enzymes was coordinately depressed to 1 to 2%, 8 to 9% and 4 to 5% of total kidney enzyme in the pale-ear, pearl and pallid mutants, respectively. Although depressed lysosomal enzyme secretion is the major pigment mutant alteration, the higher lysomal enzyme concentrations in pearl and pallid may be partly due to an increase in lysosomal enzyme synthesis. In these mutants kidney glucuronidase synthetic rate was increased 1.4- to 1.5-fold.--These results suggest that there are several critical genes in mammals that control the biogenesis, processing and/or function of related classes of subcellular organelles. The mechanism of action of these genes is amenable to further analysis since they have been incorporated into congenic inbred strains of mice. 相似文献

Summary The size distribution of lysosomes was determined in kidney proximal tubule cells of two mouse pigment mutants, pale ear and pallid, which have an increase in kidney lysosomal enzyme content caused by a decreased rate of secretion of lysosomal enzymes into urine. Both mutations have larger lysosomes when compared with normal mice. However, neither mutant contains the giant lysosomes (up to 11 micron diameter) common to the well-characterized beige mutant, which has a kidney secretory defect similar to the pale ear and pallid mutants. Subcellular distribution studies, performed by the osmotic shock technique, likewise suggested differences among the pigment mutants. A very high content of soluble enzyme, indicative of lysosomal fragility during homogenization, was found in extracts from the beige mutation. By comparison, the percent of soluble enzyme became progressively lower in extracts of the pallid and pale ear mutants and was lowest in extracts from normal mice. All 3 pigment mutants had normal concentrations of osmotically resistant membrane-bound lysosomal enzymes. This indicates that the excess, non-secreted, lysosomal enzyme in all three pigment mutants likely is present in classical lysosomal organelles rather than in other non-lysosomal subcellular membrane fractions. The results also illustrate that mammalian mutants which exhibit decreased lysosomal secretory rates can have strikingly different effects on morphology of lysosomes.Supported in Part by National Science Foundation Grant PCM 77-24804.

Mouse beta-glucuronidase has a dual intracellular localization, being present in both endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes of several tissues. Previous studies demonstrated that the protein egasyn is complexed with microsomal but not lysosomal glucuronidase and that a mutant lacking egasyn is deficient in microsomal, but not lysosomal, glucuronidase. By means of a recently developed radioimmunoassay for egasyn, the relationship between microsomal glucuronidase levels and egasyn levels has been examined in various adult tissues, during postnatal development in liver, and after androgen induction of glucuronidase in kidney. The results indicate that the relative availability of egasyn determines the balance between glucuronidase incorporation into membranes and that into lysosomes. 相似文献

Mice of inbred strains A/J, C57BL/6J and C57BL/6J beige were kept on a K+-deficient diet for up to 40 days to determine the magnitude and mechanism of changes in tissue lysosomal enzymes. From days 10 to 40 glucuronidase activity increased 3-fold in kidney of K+-deficient mice, but there was little effect on beta-galactosidase or acid phosphatase activity. Similar increases in kidney glucuronidase activity occurred in inbred strains known to have genetically altered control of the synthesis (A/J) and secretion (C57BL/6J beige) of glucuronidase in kidney proximal-tubule cells. Deprivation of K+ did not affect glucuronidase activity in liver, spleen, lung and brain, but there was a 2-3-FOld increase in glucuronidase activity in heart in the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6J beige strains. As shown by specific antibody titration, increased glucuronidase activity in kidney of K+-deficient mice was accompanied by accumulation of enzyme molecules. Likewise in kidney of deficient mice there was an increased rate of synthesis of glucuronidase as measured by incorporation of labelled leucine into immunoprecipitable glucuronidase. In kidney of K+-deficient mice the elevated glucuronidase activity was found in both collecting-tubule and interstitial cells of the medulla. It is probable therefore that a significant fraction of the increased kidney lysosomal synthesis and enzyme activity is due to infiltrating cells. 相似文献

Chediak-Higashi syndrome is characterized by dysfunctional giant organelles of common origin, that is, lysosomes, melanosomes, and platelet dense bodies. Its defective gene LYST encodes a large molecular weight protein whose function is unknown. The Beige mouse also defective in Lyst is a good model of the human disease. Purified lysosomes from Beige and normal black mouse livers were used to carry out a proteomics study. Two-dimensional gel electrophoretic separation of soluble lysosomal proteins of Beige and normal mice revealed no major differences. The cleavable isotope-coded affinity tag (cICAT) technique was used to compare the composition of Beige and normal lysosomal membrane proteins. While the levels of common proteins, that is, Lamp1, Lamp2, and Niemann-Pick type C1, were decreased in Beige mice, there was an increase in the levels of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident proteins, for example, cytochrome P450, NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase, and flavin-containing monooxygenase. Confocal microscopy confirmed that another ER protein, calnexin, colocalizes with Lamp1 on membranes of giant lysosomes from fibroblasts of Chediak-Higashi syndrome patient. Our results suggest that LYST may play a role in either preventing inappropriate incorporation of proteins into the lysosomal membrane or in membrane recycling/maturation. 相似文献

We have examined the morphologic characteristics of fibroblasts cultured from the beige mouse, a genetic variant phenotypically similar to human Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS). These cultured fibroblasts are characterized by large, amorphous dense body inclusions in their cytoplasm, often as large as the cell nucleus. Using time-lapse video phase-contrast microscopy, we have observed the formation of these large dense bodies through fusion of relatively normal-appearing lysosomes in the beige mouse fibroblast. After formation of these large inclusions, cells occasionally extruded the contents of these structures through apparent fusion with the plasma membrane and rapid exocytosis. Fibroblasts cultured from normal black mice showed no evidence of fusion between lysosomes or exocytosis of lysosomes. However, the uptake of extracellular medium through macropinocytosis, subsequent actions of lysosomes on these macropinosomes through saltatory motion, cellular migration and ruffling activity appeared normal in beige mouse fibroblasts. Immunocytochemical localization of α2-macroglobulin, a normal serum protein commonly incorporated into lysosomes in cultured fibroblasts by receptor-mediated endocytosis, showed that the large dense bodies contained α2-macroglobulin, in keeping with their lysosomal origin. This suggested further that receptor-mediated endocytosis in these cells was relatively normal. In addition, light and electron microscopic cytochemistry showed these large inclusions to be acid-phosphatase positive, further characterizing them as lysosomal. The electron microscopic appearance of these dense inclusions was consistent with their origin through repeated fusion of lysosomes. It is suggested that a primary defect in this disease may be the ability of mature lysosomal membranes to fuse, unlike normal lysosomal membranes, indicating perhaps an alteration in some specific component of the lysosomal membranes in CHS. 相似文献

When liver cells obtained from 13- to 18-day embryos of beige (Chediak-Higashi syndrome) mice were transplanted into irradiated normal adult mice, tissue mast cells with giant granules showing beige mouse origin developed in the normal recipient mice. Mast cell precursors seem to have developed earlier in the liver of embryos than mast cells themselves since no mast cells were detectable in any tissues of 13- and 14-day embryos. This result suggests that tissue mast cells originate from hematopoietic tissues not only in adult mice but also in mouse embryos. 相似文献

Among mice of strain SB/Le, homozygous for the mutant genes beige (bg), satin (sa), and white-bellied agouti (A(w)), 70% developed progressive pneumonitis by 6 months of age. Among backcross offspring from an outcross to C57BL/6J-A(w-J), 49% of homozygous beige and 11% of nonbeige genotypes developed pneumonitis by 6 months of age. The evidence indicates that a specific action of the beige gene increases susceptibility to progressive pneumonitis. Lymphadenopathy, including reticulum cell neoplasms and atypical lymphoproliferative lesions, was observed in high incidence in sa+/sa bg males, suggesting a closer association with satin than with beige. Beige mice show giant lysosomal granules in the leukocytes and pigment dilution closely analogous to the Chediak-Higashi syndrome in man and similar disorders in mink and cattle. Strain SB/Le provides a convenient model in a laboratory animal for study of the increased susceptibility to infection analogous to that of the Chediak-Higashi syndrome. 相似文献

Glycolipid stage-specific embryonic antigens (SSEA-1) in kidneys of male and female C57BL/6J and beige adult mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
SSEA-1 glycolipids from the kidneys of normal male and female as well as beige mutant mice were isolated and their structures were examined by component analysis, mass spectrometry, immunoblotting, and permethylation studies. These antigens were shown to be extended globoside derivatives as reported by Sekine et al. (1987. J. Biochem. 101:553-562). Quantitative high performance liquid chromatography analyses revealed that the concentration of SSEA-1 glycolipids were four-to fivefold greater in male than female mice. Essentially no SSEA-1 glycolipids were excreted in the urine of normal male mice and thus are not components of the multilamellar lysosomes normally excreted. Testosterone is known to induce the hypertrophy of proximal tubule cells that involves the formation of multilamellar lysosomes and results in the accumulation and excretion of these bodies and associated lysosomal enzymes and specific glycolipids. The present results indicate that in male mice there is also an increase in subcellular structures that contain SSEA-1 glycolipids. The amount of SSEA-1 glycolipids in male beige mice were greater than in normal mice on a per kidney basis. Thus, the increase is in proportion to the kidney hypertrophy seen in beige mouse kidneys. Beige mutant mice appear to have a primary defect in the excretion of multilamellar lysosomes which produces a secondary hypertrophy with an accompanying increase in SSEA-1 glycolipids. 相似文献

Lysosomal enzymes have been shown to be synthesized as microsomal precursors, which are processed to mature enzymes located in lysosomes. We examined the effect of ammonium chloride on the intracellular processing and secretion of two lysosomal enzymes, beta-glucuronidase and beta-galactosidase, in mouse macrophages. This lysosomotropic drug caused extensive secretion of both precursor and mature enzyme forms within a few hours, as documented by pulse radiolabeling and molecular weight analysis. The normal intracellular route for processing and secretion of precursor enzyme was altered in treated cells. A small percentage of each precursor was delivered to the lysosomal organelle slowly. Most precursor forms traversed the Golgi apparatus, underwent further processing of carbohydrate moieties, and were then secreted in a manner similar to secretory proteins. The lag time for secretion of newly synthesized beta-galactosidase precursor was notably longer than that for the beta-glucuronidase precursor. The source of the secreted mature enzyme was the lysosomal organelle. Macrophages from the pale ear mutant were markedly deficient in secretion of mature lysosomal enzyme but secreted precursor forms normally. These results suggest that ammonia-treated macrophages contain two distinct intracellular pathways for secretion of lysosomal enzymes and that a specific block in the release of lysosomal contents occurs in the pale ear mutant. 相似文献

Biochemical and genetic evidence for a macromolecular -glucuronidase complex in microsomal membranes 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
In the mouse β-glucuronidase is present in both microsomes and lysosomes and the enzyme at both sites is coded by the same structural gene. Electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels showed that liver, kidney and lung from normal strains contained five enzyme forms designated L, M1, M2, M3 and M4 in order of decreasing mobility toward the anode. Band L is found primarily in lysosomes and is a tetramer of 260,000 molecular weight. Bands M1 to M4 are found exclusively in microsomes and range in molecular weight from 310,000 to 470,000. The increase in molecular weight is due to sequential addition of an accessory protein chain. When glucuronidase is highly induced in kidneys of female mice by injection of dihydrotestosterone, a sixth electrophoretic form of glucuronidase, designated X, appears. Form X appears early in induction, is localized in microsomes, and has a molecular weight (260,000) equal to that of the tetramer form L.Mice homozygous for the eg ° mutation, and thus deficient in microsomal glucuronidase, completely lack the microsomal forms M1 to M4. They do contain form X, and this increases after testosterone induction in kidney. The form X present in eg ° mice is indistinguishable from the form X seen in normal induced kidney.It appears that mice synthesize two different tetrameric forms of glucuronidase from the same structural gene. One, form L, is lysosomal; the other, form X, gives rise to microsomal enzyme forms M1 to M4 by the successive addition of up to four accessory protein chains. The eg ° mutant is blocked in the conversion of X to M1. 相似文献

In the normal C57BL/6J male mouse a specific subset of the kidney glycosphingolipids which is associated with multilamellar bodies of lysosomal origin and represents about 10% of the total kidney glycolipids, is excreted into the urine each day. This excretion is blocked and glycosphingolipids accumulate in the kidney of bg
J/bgJ mutants of this strain. To examine this process in vitro, glycosphingolipid metabolism and excretion were studied in beige mouse kidney cell cultures. Primary kidney cell cultures from male C57BL/6J control and bg
J/bg
J beige mutants were grown in D-valine medium and glycosphingolipids labeled with [3H]palmitate. As we have shown previously, the giant lysosomes of altered morphology were maintained in cultures of the beige kidney cells. Beige-J and control cells synthesized the same types of glycosphingolipids, but the mutant cells had quantitatively higher levels of these compounds than control cells, as determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Beige-J cells incorporated more [3H]palmitate into glycospingholipids than control cells on a cpm/mg protein basis and the specific activity (cpm/pmole glycosphingolipid) was lower in beige cells. Medium from beige-J cells accumulated more glycosphingolipids than that from control cells in a 24 h period. The glycosphingolipids released into the medium as determined by HPLC were primarily non-lysosomal types and both control and mutant cells retained the glycosphingolipids associated with lysosomal multilamellar bodies excreted in vivo. The elevated levels of lysosomal glycosphingolipids and the dysmorphic lysosomes in primary cultures of beige cells, then, are not caused by a mutant block in secretion of lysosomes.

Immune complex vasculitis has been induced in normal mice and in mice with features of the Chediak-Higashi syndrome ("beige" mice). The accumulation of neutrophils in peritoneal exudates after the injection of C5a is not quantitatively depressed in beige as compared with normal mice. Immune complex-induced vasculitis in these two strains of mice is not quantitatively different, as assessed by vascular damage (vasopermeability changes and histologic criteria). Measurements of leukocyte enzymes confirm the findings of Vassalli et al. that leukocytes of beige mice lack neutral protease activity. The data suggest that the neutral protease of murine leukocytes does not account for the vascular damage of immune complex vasculitis. 相似文献

The effect of three different concentrations of dimethoate on the activity of certain lysosomal enzymes, viz. beta-glucuronidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, cathepsin B and cathepsin D in serum, skin, liver, kidney and spleen and the stability of liver and kidney lysosomes was studied in female albino rats. The activity of beta-glucuronidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, cathepsin D was found to increase in serum and tissues in higher concentration (2.25 mg/100 g body weight) of dimethoate treated rats. A significant increase in the rate of release of beta-glucuronidase was found in the liver and kidney of higher concentration of dimethoate treated rats compared to controls. The results demonstrate that the activity of lysosomal enzymes increased in higher concentration of dimethoate treated rats than the lower concentration (0.56 mg/100 g body weight) of dimethoate treated rats. 相似文献

The accumulation of the relatively large amounts of beta-glucuronidase in microsomal fractions of normal mice depends on formation of complexes with the protein egasyn. Unexpectedly, it was found that the egasyn gene also affects the processing of beta-glucuronidase, which is segregated to lysosomes. In egasyn-positive mice lysosomal beta-glucuronidase from liver has a mean pI of 5.9 with a minor proportion at pI 5.4, whereas in egasyn-negative mice the proportion of the two lysosomal forms is reversed. Combined experiments measuring susceptibility to neuraminidase and to endoglycosidase H and specific binding to Ricinus communis lectin-agarose columns showed that the alterations in isoelectric point were associated with a decrease in complex oligosaccharides of lysosomal beta-glucuronidase in egasyn-positive mice. Since this alteration occurs not only in a congenic strain carrying the Eg0 gene but also in several other inbred strains that are homozygous for this gene, it is considered to be a genuine effect of the Eg gene rather than other genes that might regulate oligosaccharide processing. Also, the alteration is likely to be a result of direct physical interaction of the egasyn protein and lysosomal beta-glucuronidase, since a second lysosomal enzyme, beta-galactosidase, which does not form complexes with egasyn, is unaffected. The results suggest a model in which egasyn not only causes accumulation of beta-glucuronidase in the microsomal compartment but also acts upon the precursor to lysosomal beta-glucuronidase to alter its interaction with trans-Golgi-apparatus processing enzymes. 相似文献

The excessive skeletal mass and reduced bone resorption characteristic of osteopetrosis in microphthalmic (mi) mice can be corrected by irradiation and transfer of spleen cells from a normal littermate. Osteoclasts in beige (bg) mice, a mutation without osteopetrosis, have giant lysosomal granules. These two facts were exploited to trace osteoclast lineage. Microphthalmic mice treated with whole-body irradiation and spleen cells from a beige donor resorbed the excessive skeletal mass and recovered from osteopetrosis. Furthermore, osteoclasts in treated mi mice had giant lysosomal granules and resembled those found in bg donors when examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. These data provide direct evidence for a hematogenous origin of osteoclasts in mammals. 相似文献

The hypopigment mutant mice, light ear, pallid, and beige, possess defects in melanosomes, lysosomes, and platelet dense granules, suggesting that these organelles share a common biogenesis and processing. Light ear and pallid mutants are animal models for Hermansky Pudlak syndrome, whereas the beige mouse is an animal model for Chediak Higashi syndrome. An established skin cell line from the light ear mouse was tested along with pallid and beige cell lines for mutant effects on secretion of lysosomal hydrolase activities of six different lysosomal glycosidases and the trafficking of N-[5-(5,7-dimethyl BODIPY)-1-pentanoyl]-D-erythrosphingosine (C(5)-DMB-ceramide). There were no consistently significant differences between the pallid and the beige mutant cell lines or between these two mutant lines and the control cell line in the percentage secretion of lysosomal hydrolase activities. The light ear mutant cell line, however, displayed a significantly lower percentage secretion of lysosomal hydrolase activities than all other cell lines tested. The light ear mutant cells processed C(5)-DMB-ceramide completely, as seen in the control cell line, whereas pallid and beige cell lines retained fluorescent material and exhibited a block in the complete processing of C(5)-DMB-ceramide 20 h after labeling. The block to secretion of lyososomal hydrolase activities in the light ear mutant cell line will be useful for further studies on this mutant's lysosomal defect. 相似文献

We have found that the pigmentation mutant light ear in the mouse has a striking effect on lysosomes in the kidney. Male mice homozygous for the le mutant allele have a 4-fold elevated concentration of kidney beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23). The abnormal elevation of kidney beta-galactosidase is the net result of two processes. First, beta-galactosidase is elevated due to the defective urinary secretion of lysosomal enzymes which is a specific effect of the le mutation. Secondly, this effect is most evident in males and testosterone-treated females because of the induction of beta-galactosidase synthesis by testosterone, which occurs in +/+ as well as in mutant mice. The pale-ear mutation (ep) which mimics the pigmentation phenotype of le also has a similar effect on kidney lysosomes. 相似文献

Beige, bg, and reduced pigmentation, rp, are recessive mutations affecting lysosomal function. Homozygosity for beige prevented lipofuscinosis of the spleen in C57BL mice and its incidence was greatly reduced by homozygosity for rp. Dilute (d) homozygotes, with normal lysosomes, were susceptible to lipofuscinosis even though their melanosomes were more severely affected than those of beige mice. 相似文献

The effect of swainsonine, an inhibitor of Golgi alpha-mannosidase II and lysosomal alpha-mannosidase, on the synthesis, processing, and turnover of two glycoproteins, lysosomal beta-galactosidase and lysosomal beta-glucuronidase, has been studied in cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages. No effect of the inhibitor on the relative rates of synthesis of the precursor form of either enzyme was observed. On the other hand, carbohydrate processing of beta-galactosidase and beta-glucuronidase was markedly altered by swainsonine, consistent with a blockage by the inhibitor of the removal of the alpha-1,3- and alpha-1,6-linked mannose residues which occurs in normal processing. In homogenates of both normal and swainsonine-treated cells, the precursor forms of the enzymes were found exclusively in the light membrane fraction on Percoll gradients and the mature forms exclusively in the lysosomal fractions indicating that translocation from Golgi to lysosomes and proteolytic processing in the lysosome were not impaired by the presence of abnormal oligosaccharide side chains. There was no detectable effect of swainsonine during a 4-day chase period on the total cellular turnover of these enzymes which involves two processes, secretion and degradation. In the absence of swainsonine, secretion represented about 40% of the total turnover of beta-galactosidase and about 50% with beta-glucuronidase. The presence of swainsonine increased these proportions to about 60 and 70%, respectively. 相似文献
