Human alpha-L-iduronidase. Catalytic properties and an integrated role in the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulphate.
The kinetic parameters (Km and kcat) of human liver alpha-L-iduronidase were determined with a variety of heparin-derived disaccharide and tetrasaccharide substrates. More structurally complex substrates, in which several aspects of the aglycone structure of the natural substrates heparin and heparan sulphate were maintained, were hydrolysed with catalytic efficiencies up to 255 times that obse...
متن کاملHuman α-L-iduronidase uses its own N-glycan as a substrate-binding and catalytic module.
N-glycosylation is a major posttranslational modification that endows proteins with various functions. It is established that N-glycans are essential for the correct folding and stability of some enzymes; however, the actual effects of N-glycans on their activities are poorly understood. Here, we show that human α-l-iduronidase (hIDUA), of which a dysfunction causes accumulation of dermatan/hep...
متن کاملalpha-L-iduronidase forms semi-crystalline spherulites with amyloid-like properties.
While seeking conditions for single crystals of human alpha-L-iduronidase, solutions were discovered (pH 3.0-8.5 containing calcium or zinc salts) that transform soluble alpha-L-iduronidase to a solid aggregate. This aggregate is a spherulite of semi-crystalline protein. The X-ray diffraction pattern and ability to bind Congo red characterize the alpha-L-iduronidase spherulite as 'amyloid-like'...
متن کاملImmunopurification and characterization of human alpha-L-iduronidase with the use of monoclonal antibodies.
alpha-L-Iduronidase from human liver was purified by a three-step five-column procedure and by immunoaffinity chromatography with a monoclonal antibody raised against purified enzyme. Seven bands identified by staining with Coomassie Blue had molecular masses of 74, 65, 60, 49, 44, 18 and 13 kDa and were present in both preparations of the liver enzyme. However, relative to the immunopurificati...
متن کاملLong-term in vitro correction of alpha-L-iduronidase deficiency (Hurler syndrome) in human bone marrow.
Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is the most effective treatment for Hurler syndrome but, since this therapy is not available to all patients, we have considered an alternative approach based on transfer and expression of the normal gene in autologous bone marrow. A retroviral vector carrying the full-length cDNA for alpha-L-iduronidase has been constructed and used to transduce bone marr...
