Characterization of gene-activated human acid-β-glucosidase: Crystal structure, glycan composition, and internalization into macrophages
Gaucher disease, the most common lysosomal storage disease, can be treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), in which defective acid-beta-glucosidase (GlcCerase) is supplemented by a recombinant, active enzyme. The X-ray structures of recombinant GlcCerase produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells (imiglucerase, Cerezyme) and in transgenic carrot cells (prGCD) have been previously solved. We...
متن کاملStructure of hyperthermophilic β-glucosidase from Pyrococcus furiosus
Three categories of cellulases, endoglucanases, cellobiohydrolases and β-glucosidases, are commonly used in the process of cellulose saccharification. In particular, the activity and characteristics of hyperthermophilic β-glucosidase make it promising in industrial applications of biomass. In this paper, the crystal structure of the hyperthermophilic β-glucosidase from Pyrococcus furiosus (BGLP...
متن کاملProduction of α - Glucosidase Inhibitor by β - Glucosidase Inhibitor - Producing
A soil microorganism producing αand β-glucosidase inhibitors was identified as Bacillus lentimorbus, based on the fatty acid and morphological analyses, along with biochemical and physiological tests. The α-glucosidase inhibitor was highly produced by this strain in a culture medium containing 0.25% of sodium glutamate and 0.5% of glucose, pH 8.0 at 30C for 2 days. The α-glucosidase inhibitor f...
متن کاملX-ray structure of human acid-beta-glucosidase, the defective enzyme in Gaucher disease.
Gaucher disease, the most common lysosomal storage disease, is caused by mutations in the gene that encodes acid-beta-glucosidase (GlcCerase). Type 1 is characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, and types 2 and 3 by early or chronic onset of severe neurological symptoms. No clear correlation exists between the approximately 200 GlcCerase mutations and disease severity, although homozygosity for the ...
متن کاملMonomer structure of a hyperthermophilic β-glucosidase mutant forming a dodecameric structure in the crystal form
One of the β-glucosidases from Pyrococcus furiosus (BGLPf) is found to be a hyperthermophilic tetrameric enzyme that can degrade cellooligosaccharides. Recently, the crystal structures of the tetrameric and dimeric forms were solved. Here, a new monomeric form of BGLPf was constructed by removing the C-terminal region of the enzyme and its crystal structure was solved at a resolution of 2.8 Å i...
