Extra-lysosomal localization of arylsulfatase B in human colonic epithelium.
The enzyme arylsulfatase B (N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase; ARSB; ASB) removes 4-sulfate groups from the sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG) chondroitin-4-sulfate (C4S) and dermatan sulfate (DS). Inborn deficiency of ARSB leads to the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccharidosis VI, characterized by accumulation of sGAG in vital organs, disruption of normal physiological processes, severe ...
متن کاملArylsulfatase K, a novel lysosomal sulfatase.
The human sulfatase family has 17 members, 13 of which have been characterized biochemically. These enzymes specifically hydrolyze sulfate esters in glycosaminoglycans, sulfolipids, or steroid sulfates, thereby playing key roles in cellular degradation, cell signaling, and hormone regulation. The loss of sulfatase activity has been linked to severe pathophysiological conditions such as lysosoma...
متن کاملHypoxia Reduces Arylsulfatase B Activity and Silencing Arylsulfatase B Replicates and Mediates the Effects of Hypoxia
This report presents evidence of 1) a role for arylsulfatase B (ARSB; N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase) in mediating intracellular oxygen signaling; 2) replication between the effects of ARSB silencing and hypoxia on sulfated glycosaminoglycan content, cellular redox status, and expression of hypoxia-associated genes; and 3) a mechanism whereby changes in chondroitin-4-sulfation that follow ei...
متن کاملComparative and Evolutionary Studies of Vertebrate Arylsulfatase B, Arylsulfatase I and Arylsulfatase J Genes and Proteins: Evidence for an ARSB-like Sub-family
Multiple sulfatase genes have been reported on the human genome, including Arylsulfatase B (ARSB), Arylsulfatase I (ARSI) and Arylsulfatase J (ARSJ). ARSB is localized in lysosomes and catalyses the hydrolysis of chondroitin and dermatan sulfate groups. Bioinformatic analyses of vertebrate genomes were undertaken using known human ARSB, ARSI and ARSJ amino acid sequences to study the relatednes...
متن کاملArylsulfatase B-deficient mucopolysaccharidosis in rats.
A rat colony with mucopolysaccharidosis VI was established and the clinical, pathological, and biochemical features were characterized. Affected rats had facial dysmorphia, dysostosis multiplex, and increased urinary excretion of glucosaminoglycans (GAGs). Ultrastructural studies revealed storage of GAGs throughout the reticuloendothelial cells, cartilage, and other connective tissues, but no d...
