1 Eucaryotic cell Alberts et al : Molecular biology of the cell 6th edition

2 Lysosomes

3 Lysosomes Membrane-bound organelles with acidic interior Degradation of macromolecules Alberts et al : Molecular biology of the cell 6th edition

4 Lysosomal ( storage ) diseases Deficiencies of proteins from the lysosomal system lead to storage of material in lysosomes

5 Lysosomes Single-membrane vesicles Acidic interior (ph ) Participate in cellular vesicular transport Interact with endosomes, Golgi, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum Classic lysosomes are the principal degradative compartment in the cell

6 Lysosomes Lysosomes contain soluble hydrolases with acidic ph optimum Lysosomal membrane contains glycosylated transmembrane proteins (LAMP family, transporters, and others) Lysosomal membrane is enriched in lysobisphosphatidic acid Acidic ph is mantained by vacuolar ATP-dependent proton pump (vacuolar ATPase)

7 Lysosomes are a part of the cellular flow of membranes and proteins endocytosis phagocytic vacuole EE M6PR scavenger pathway EE early endosome LE late endosome M6PR mannosa-6-phosphate receptor LY lysosome NC nucleus red arrows recycling of M6P between trans-golgi and LE blue arrows - M6PR scavenging pathway chaperone mediated autophagy LE LY exocytosis M6PR NC secretory vesicle Golgi autophagic vacuole

8 LYSOSOMES that KILL!!! and their relatives

9 Secretory lysosomes /Lysosomerelated organelles In some cells (often of haematopoietic origin) there are organelles that have properties of both lysosomes and secretory granules - acidic ph - lysosomal membrane and lumenal proteins - exocytosis in response to a stimulus Lysosome-related organelles (LRO) -lytic granules (NK cells and cytotoxic Tlymphocytes) -azurophilic granules -melanosomes - external lysosomes of osteoclasts - delta-granules in platelets

10 Disorders of lysosome-related organelle biogenesis and function A group of hereditary disorders often associated with - albinism (melanosome dysfunction) - visual impairment (melanosome dysfunction) - bleeding tendency(platelet dysfunction) - inflammatory bowel disease - lung fibrosis - immunodeficiency - huge lysosomes in tissues Heřmanský-Pudlák,Griscelli, Chediak-Higashi syndromes Patient with HeřmanskýPudlák syndrome heatherkirkwood.blogspot.cz

11 Lysosome-related organelles osteoclast ruffled border sealing zone H+ H bone + sealing zone H+ Protons and hydrolases (mainly proteolytic) enzymes are excreted into the sealed space between the bone and the ruffled border.

12 Transport of substrates for degradation Alberts et al : Molecular biology of the cell 6th edition

13 Autophagy Macroautophagy Microautophagy Chaperone-mediated autophagy proteins containing specific signal sequence translocation of proteins driven by binding of chaperones internalization via lamp2a receptor in the lysosomal membrane Lysosomal membrane protein LAMP2 is a receptor involved in fusion of autophagic vacuoles with lysosomes

14 Import of lysosomal proteins into lysosome Soluble lysosomal proteins : mannosa-6 phosphate receptor Lysosomal membrane proteins: - signals in short C-terminal tail ) - signals are recognised by adaptor proteins (AP3..) Other - glucocerebrosidase, lysosomal acid phosphatase - prosaposin - sortilin, LIMPII

15 Transport of soluble lysosomal proteins by mannose-6-phosphate receptors

16 Synthesis of M6P signal trans-golgi Endoplasmic reticulum

17 Sorting of proteins containing MP6 signal protein-m6p-m6pr lysosome protein-m6p protein protein cis-golgi Secretion pathway

18 Sorting of proteins containing MP6 signal The majority of soluble (luminal) lysosomal proteins is transported into lysosome via mannose-6-phosphate receptor

19 Mutations in GlcNAc transferase gene cis-golgi endoplasmic reticulum

20 Mutations in GlcNAc transferase gene lysosome protein-m6p-m6pr Proteins transported normally by M6PR are not targeted to lysosomes protein protein secretion... instead, they are secreted out of the cell. trans-golgi

21 I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II) Very rare disorder of transport of M6P-tagged lysosomal proteins due to mutations in GlcNAC phosphotransferase increased activities of lysosomal proteins in extracellular fluid decreased activities of multiple lysosomal enzymes in lysosomes Lysosomal storage - enlarged lysosomes ( I inclusion cell disease )

22 I-cell disease Coarse facies thickening of gums small hepatomegally and splenomegally bone disease - dysostosis multiplex psychomotor retardation elevated activities of lysosomal hydrolases in plasma, low activities in tissues Vacuolization of lymphocytes ( Inclusion cell ) = storage lysosomes

28 N-acetyltransferase activity (deficient in MPS IIIC) n=5 n=22 n=103 Patients have very low residual activities (less than several percent of controls). The activities in heterozygotes usually overlap with controls enzyme assay is not reliable for detection of heterozygotes, while it is suitable for patients. R412X/wt Patients Heterozygotes Controls

33 Sugar moiety of glycosphingolipids is sequentially degraded by a set of highly specific lysosomal exoglycosidases.

34 Fabry disease alpha-galactosidase A deficiency X-linked disease lysosomal storage of glycolipids with terminal alpha-galactose, predominantly globotriaosylceramide storage in vessel endothel, smooth muscle of the vessels, cardiomyocytes, glomerules and tubules and other cell types

38 Fabry disease clinical picture hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arythmias chronic progressive renal disease leading to renal failure TIA, parestesias angiokeratomas, cornea verticilata X-linked disease In females the severity of phenotype depends on X-inactivation

41 Mucopolysaccharides Mucopolysacccharides (glycosaminoglycans) are polysaccharides with linear chains with repeating disaccharide units (glucosamin, uronic acid), often heavily modified (acetyl, sulfate groups) common types : Heparan sulfate Dermatan sulfate Keratan sulfate Chondroitin sulfate Heparin has structure resembling heparan sulfate

42 Glycosaminoglycans are a part of proteoglycans

43 Glycosaminoglycans are degraded by sequential action of lysosomal exoglycosidases

44 Mucopolysaccharidoses 11 disorders Most common : MPS I Hurler disease - deficiency of alpha-iduronidase, ARinheritance MPS II - Hunter disease - deficiency of iduronate sulfatase, Xlinked Common symptoms Progressive dementia, hepatosplenomegaly, coarse features (gargoylism), bone disease (dysostosis multiplex), corneal opacities, heart disease

45 Mukopolysacharidosa III, MPS III M. Sanfilippo In the first years of life normal development At 2 6 years of age prominent hyperactivity, sleep disorders, slowly progressive dementia Coarse facies, coarse hair small hepatosplenomegaly Spasticity, dementia, death usually between years of age

46 Glycoproteinoses are caused by deficiencies of enzymes participating in degradation of N-linked glycoproteins. Clinical symptoms resemble mucopolysaccharidoses.

47 Activators of lysosomal hydrolases

48 Glycosidases, which act on glycolipid substrates with shorter oligosaccharide moieties (<3 sugar residues), require activator proteins for their action. The activators make the short oligosaccharide chains of glycolipids, which are embedded in the membranes, accessible to the catalytic proteins.

49 Activators of lysosomal hydrolases Saposins A,B,C,D Arise by proteolytic processing of precursor protein - prosaposin. Saposin deficits lead to variant forms of disorders due to deficiencies of hydrolases activated by respective saposins (e.g. metachromatic leukodystrophy is caused by arylsulfatase A deficiency. Arylsulfatase A is activated by saposin B. Deficiency of saposin B leads to variant form of metachromatic leukodystrophy ) GM2 activator activates hexosaminidase A Proteolytic processing of prosaposin

50 Proposed mechanism of action of GM2 activator, which activates beta hexosaminidase A
