Expression and Endocytosis of Lysosomal Aspartylglucosaminidase in Mouse Primary Neurons

Abstract: Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease that is caused by mutations in the gene encoding for a soluble hydrolase, aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA). In this study, we have used our recently developed mouse model for AGU and analyzed processing, intracellular localization, and endocytosis of recombinant AGA in telencephalic AGU mouse neurons in vitro. The processing steps of AGA were found to be similar to the peripheral cells, but both the accumulation of the inactive precurso… Show more

“…As shown in Figure 2, incubation with mannose-6-phosphorylated lysosomal enzymes increased the ability of microglia to degrade fAβ, as compared with parallel untreated control cells. Because the mannose phosphorylated at the 6 position is the entity recognized by the receptor, uptake of lysosomal enzymes can be inhibited by excess mannose-6 phosphate [14,15]. When the enzyme incubation was done in the presence of 10mM mannose-6 phosphate to compete for receptor binding, microglia failed to degrade fAβ.…”

“…The glycosylation and phosphorylation of AGA are well known processes and the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme with the specific activation sites has been characterized in detail [6,28]. The processing of AGA into the subunits has been studied in several cell lines revealing an exceptionally prolonged processing in neurons and in brain tissue [11,23]. Here we demonstrated a similar delayed processing in neurons using the NSE and AGA promoters to mediate expression of AGA.…”

“…Previous data have indicated a delay in the maturation of AGA in neuronal cell cultures [11] and also in the total brain tissue of mice [23]. Proteolytic processing of AGA is essential for enzymatic activity.…”

“…This is a prerequisite for successful therapeutic approaches for treating lysosomal storage disorders affecting the CNS [15]. Indeed, adenoviral injection into the lateral ventricles of AGU mice led to the migration of AGA enzyme also to the brain tissue and partial elimination of the storage vacuoles was observed.…”
