Preparation of radiolabeled GM2 and GA2 gangliosides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
GM2 and GA2 gangliosides from the brain of a patient who died of Sandhoff's disease were purified by solvent partition, silicic acid and silica gel column chromatography, and silica gel preparative thin-layer chromatography. They were tritiated in the terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residue using galactose oxidase and sodium [3H]borohydride with the inclusion of catalase and peroxidase into the oxidation reaction. The specific activities were 4.62 X 10(8) dpm/mumol of GM2 ganglioside and 5.54 X 40(7) dpm/mumol of GA2 ganglioside. The addition of catalase and peroxidase to the tritiation procedure is recommended.

Novel lacto-ganglio type gangliosides with GM2-epitope in bovine brain which react with IgM from a patient of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like disorder.
A motor neuron disorder resembling that of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was found in a patient who had received the intramuscular administration of a mixture of bovine brain gangliosides (Yuki, N., Sato, S., Miyatake, T., Sugiyama, K., Katagiri, T., and Sasaki, H. (1991) Lancet 337, 1109-1110). A very high titer of anti-GM2 IgM was detected in the patient's serum and the patient quickly recove...
متن کاملAB variant of infantile GM2 gangliosidosis: deficiency of a factor necessary for stimulation of hexosaminidase A-catalyzed degradation of ganglioside GM2 and glycolipid GA2.
Human kidney extracts heated to 60 degrees and devoid of hexosaminidase activity (2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucoside acetamidodeoxyglucohydrolase EC 3.2.1.30) stimulate more than 20-fold the hexosaminidase A-catalyzed degradation of ganglioside GM2 and of glycolipid GA2, the neuronal storage compounds of GM2 gangliosidosis. The stimulating factor of this extract, which is labile at temperatur...
متن کاملBoth GA2, GM2, and GD2 synthases and GM1b, GD1a, and GT1b synthases are single enzymes in Golgi vesicles from rat liver.
Competition experiments using lactosylceramide, ganglioside GM3 and ganglioside GD3 as substrates, as well as mutual inhibitors for ganglioside N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, in Golgi vesicles derived from rat liver suggested that N-acetylgalactosamine transfer to these three respective compounds, leading to gangliosides GA2, GM2, and GD2, respectively, is catalyzed by one enzyme. Analogous...
متن کاملPurification, biochemical and immunological characterisation of hexosaminidase A from variant AB of infantile GM2 gangliosidosis.
Variant AB of infantile GM2 gangliosidosis is a fatal disease leading invariably to death within the first few years of life, due to the excessive storage of the glycolipids GM2 and GA2 which occurs in the nervous tissue of the patient. Unlike other variants of this hereditary disease, where a deficiency of hexosaminidase A, the ganglioside-GM2-degrading enzyme, could be demonstrated, the varia...
متن کاملDramatically different phenotypes in mouse models of human Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases.
We have generated mouse models of human Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases by targeted disruption of the Hexa (alpha subunit) or Hexb (beta subunit) genes, respectively, encoding lysosomal beta-hexosaminidase A (structure, alpha) and B (structure, beta beta). Both mutant mice accumulate GM2 ganglioside in brain, much more so in Hexb -/- mice, and the latter also accumulate glycolipid GA2. Hexa -/-...
