Abstract:
The basal activity of human placental glucocerebrosidase is elevated 16-fold by n-pentanol when assayed using p-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside (pNPGlc) as the beta-glucosidase substrate. This enhancement of activity is the result of the formation of a transglucosylation product, n-pentyl beta-D-glucoside, in rate-determining competition with the hydrolytic reaction. The transglucosylation product accounts for approximately 80% of the reaction product generated in the presence of n-pentanol (0.18 M) when either glucocerebroside or pNPGlc was used as the substrate. This stimulatory effect ca

Abstract:
This paper addresses the similarities and differences in the topology of the catalytic centres of human liver cytosolic beta-glucosidase and placental lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, and utilizes well-documented reversible active-site-directed inhibitors. This comparative kinetic study was performed mainly to decipher the chemical and structural nature of the active site of the cytosolic beta-glucosidase, whose physiological function is unknown. Specifically, analysis of the effects of a family of alkyl beta-glucosides consistently displayed 100-250-fold lower inhibition constants with the cytos

Abstract:
To elucidate the mechanisms that are involved in the decrease of ceramide levels in atopic dry skin and in aged skin, we examined both the activities of beta-glucocerebrosidase, which is a major enzyme in ceramide production, and of ceramidase, which is an essential enzyme in ceramide degradation, in the stratum corneum of atopic dry skin and aged skin. The specimens of the stratum corneum of forearm skin were obtained by tape-stripping from 61 healthy volunteers and 23 patients with atopic uninvolved skin. The beta-glucocerebrosidase activity in the stratum corneum extracts was estimated usin

Abstract:
Extraction of control human spleen glucocerebrosidase with sodium cholate and butan-l-ol reversibly inactivates the enzyme in terms of its ability to hydrolyse the water-soluble substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-glucopyranoside (MUGlc). The acidic brain lipid galactocerebroside 3-sulphate (sulphatide) reconstitutes beta-glucosidase activity in a strongly concentration-dependent manner. In this study we show that sulphatide exhibits three critical micellar concentrations (CMCs): CMC1, 3.72 microM; CMC2, 22.6 microM; CMC3, 60.7 microM. We designate the aggregates formed at these CMCs as prim

Glucocerebrosidase, the lysosomal enzyme that is deficient in patients with Gaucher's disease, hydrolyses non-physiological aryl beta-D-glucosides and glucocerebroside, its substrate in vivo. We document that 2,3,-di-O-tetradecyl-1-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (2,3,-di-14:0-beta-Glc-DAG) inhibits human placental glucocerebrosidase activity in vitro (Ki 0.18 mM), and the nature of inhibition is typical of a mixed-type pattern. Furthermore, 2,3-di-14:0-beta-Glc-DAG was shown to be an excellent substrate for the lysosomal beta-glucosidase (Km 0.15 mM; Vmax. 19.8 units/mg) when compared w

Gaucher’s disease is a lysosomal storage disease caused by the lack of beta-glucocerebrosidase enzyme, leading to the accumulation of glucocerebroside. Gaucher’s disease is the most frequent type of sphingolipidosis as well as the most frequent lysosomal disease. Clinically, two forms of Gaucher’s disease are defined: nonneuronopathic form, so-called type 1, characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and osteopenia, and neuronopathic form, known as types 2 and 3, which are also characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, hematological and bone changes; however, involvement of the

Abstract:
Gaucher disease is one of the lysosomal storage disorders belonging to inherited defects of catabolism of sphingolipids. These defects are caused by mutation in genes of sphingolipid hydrolases or their protein activators. Subsequent storage of non-degraded sphingolipids leads to severe clinical phenotypes in patients. Gaucher disease is caused by deficiency of lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) activity. Non-degraded glycosphingolipids are glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and glucosylpsychosine (lyso-GlcCer). Accumulation of these glycosphingolipids is related to Gaucher cells which are derived f

Abstract The storage disorders are characterized by hereditary lysosomal enzyme deficiences with resultant abnormal accumulation of storage material in macrophages in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and other organs. The storage disorders are categorized as lipidoses and mucopolysaccharidoses. Most are inherited as autosomal-recessive traits. The accumulation of macrophages in the bone marrow and spleen results in hematologic abnormalities; neuronopathic effects are prominent in some forms. The major storage disorders that will be considered are Gaucher’s disease, Neimann-Pick disease, the “se
