Biochemical and Immunochemical Characterization of Hexosaminidase Pt
Hexosaminidase P, the main isozyme of hexosaminidase in pregnancy serum, was isolated and purified 600-700-fold by a two-step purification procedure-affinity chromatography on Sepharose-bound eaminocaproyl-Nacetylglucosylamine, followed by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The purified enzyme was subjected to biochemical and immunochemical analysis. Its catalytic property, namely, ...
متن کاملHydrolysis of Tay-Sachs ganglioside by beta-hexosaminidase A of human liver and urine.
A crude /I-hexosaminidase fraction prepared by (NH,),SO( fractionation of human liver extract or urine was found to convert Tay-Sachs ganglioside, GalNAcPl -+ 4(NANcrZ -+ 3)Gal/31 --f 4Glc + ceramide (G& into NAN& + 3Galfil -+ 4 Glc + ceramide (GMM3). After separation of hexosaminidase A and B by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, only freshly prepared fi-hexosaminidase A hydrolyzed GM2 although bo...
متن کاملMechanism of Human Nucleocytoplasmic Hexosaminidase D
Mammalian β-hexosaminidases have been shown to play essential roles in cellular physiology and health. These enzymes are responsible for the cleavage of the monosaccharides N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from cellular substrates. One of these β-hexosaminidases, hexosaminidase D (HexD), encoded by the HEXDC gene, has received little attention. No mechanistic stud...
متن کاملOrganization of the Gene Encoding the Human , & Hexosaminidase a - Chain
The lysosomal enzyme, @-hexosaminidase, is composed of two chains, a and 8. In Tay-Sachs disease, mutations in the gene encoding the a-chain produce a @-hexosaminidase deficiency that results in the storage of its natural substrate, GMz ganglioside. To obtain the background information for the eventual identification of the mutational errors in Tay-Sachs disease and to determine possible relati...
متن کاملLysosomes and human liver disease: a biochemical and immunohistochemical study of beta-hexosaminidase.
Liver biopsies from 88 patients with different liver diseases were studied for beta-hexosaminidase activity. Liver specimens with normal light microscopical morphology showed no immunohistochemical reactivity for beta-hexosaminidase. Increased reactions were noted, mainly in hepatocytes, in biopsies from the patients with different liver diseases. A very large interindividual variation of bioch...
