“…The GALNS activity was then inhibited by addition of 25 l of 2 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 4.75, and the mixture was supplemented with 0.5 g (15-20 milliunits of GAL activity) of purified 680-kDa GAL⅐CathA lysosomal complex from human placenta (13). This reaction mixture was incubated further for 2 h at 37°C to convert all the Muf-Gal liberated during the first incubation into Muf (18). The reaction was terminated by the addition of 1.85 ml of 0.4 M glycine buffer, pH 10.5, and the concentration of Muf was assayed fluorometrically.…”

N-Acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) catalyzes the first step of intralysosomal keratan sulfate (KS) catabolism. In Morquio type A syndrome GALNS deficiency causes the accumulation of KS in tissues and results in generalized skeletal dysplasia in affected patients. We show that in normal cells GALNS is in a 1.27-MDa complex with three other lysosomal hydrolases: ␤-galactosidase, ␣-neuraminidase, and cathepsin A (protective protein). GALNS copurifies with the complex by different chromatography techniques: affinity chromatography on both cathepsin A-binding and ␤-galactosidase-binding columns, gel filtration, and chromatofocusing. Anti-human cathepsin A rabbit antiserum coprecipitates GALNS together with cathepsin A, ␤-galactosidase, and ␣-neuraminidase in both a purified preparation of the 1.27-MDa complex and crude glycoprotein fraction from human placenta extract. Gel filtration analysis of fibroblast extracts of patients deficient in either ␤-galactosidase (␤-galactosidosis) or cathepsin A (galactosialidosis), which accumulate KS, demonstrates that the 1.27-MDa complex is disrupted and that GALNS is present only in free homodimeric form. The GALNS activity and cross-reacting material are reduced in the fibroblasts of patients affected with galactosialidosis, indicating that the complex with cathepsin A may protect GALNS in the lysosome. We suggest that the 1.27-MDa complex of lysosomal hydrolases is essential for KS catabolism and that the disruption of this complex may be responsible for the KS accumulation in ␤-galactosidosis and galactosialidosis patients.
