Abstract
Targeted protein degradation can provide advantages over inhibition approaches in the development of therapeutic strategies. Lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs) harness receptors, such as the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-M6PR), to direct extracellular proteins to lysosomes. In this work, we used a genome-wide CRISPR knockout approach to identify modulators of LYTAC-mediated membrane protein degradation in human cells. We found that disrupting retromer genes improved target degradation by reducing LYTAC recycling to the plasma membrane. Neddylated cullin-3 facilitated LYTAC-complex lysosomal maturation and was a predictive marker for LYTAC efficacy. A substantial fraction of cell surface CI-M6PR remains occupied by endogenous M6P-modified glycoproteins. Thus, inhibition of M6P biosynthesis increased the internalization of LYTAC-target complexes. Our findings inform design strategies for next-generation LYTACs and elucidate aspects of cell surface receptor occupancy and trafficking.

The human batokine EPDR1 regulates β-cell metabolism and function. Mol Metab 2022; 66:101629. [PMID: 36343918 PMCID: PMC9663883 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2022.101629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ependymin-Related Protein 1 (EPDR1) was recently identified as a secreted human batokine regulating mitochondrial respiration linked to thermogenesis in brown fat. Despite that EPDR1 is expressed in human pancreatic β-cells and that glucose-stimulated mitochondrial metabolism is critical for stimulus-secretion coupling in β-cells, the role of EPDR1 in β-cell metabolism and function has not been investigated. METHODS EPDR1 mRNA levels in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic (ND) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects were assessed. Human islets, EndoC-βH1 and INS1 832/13 cells were transfected with scramble (control) and EPDR1 siRNAs (EPDR1-KD) or treated with human EPDR1 protein, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assessed by ELISA. Mitochondrial metabolism was investigated by extracellular flux analyzer, confocal microscopy and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics analysis. RESULTS EPDR1 mRNA expression was upregulated in human islets from T2D and obese donors and positively correlated to BMI of donors. In T2D donors, EPDR1 mRNA levels negatively correlated with HbA1c and positively correlated with GSIS. EPDR1 silencing in human islets and β-cell lines reduced GSIS whereas treatment with human EPDR1 protein increased GSIS. Epdr1 silencing in INS1 832/13 cells reduced glucose- and pyruvate- but not K+-stimulated insulin secretion. Metabolomics analysis in Epdr1-KD INS1 832/13 cells suggests diversion of glucose-derived pyruvate to lactate production and decreased malate-aspartate shuttle and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity. The glucose-stimulated rise in mitochondrial respiration and ATP/ADP-ratio was impaired in Epdr1-deficient cells. CONCLUSION These results suggests that to maintain glucose homeostasis in obese people, upregulation of EPDR1 may improve β-cell function via channelling glycolysis-derived pyruvate to the mitochondrial TCA cycle.

Abstract
Lysosomes are the main degradative organelles of almost all eukaryotic cells. They fulfil a crucial function in cellular homeostasis, and impairments in lysosomal function are connected to a continuously increasing number of pathological conditions. In recent years, lysosomes are furthermore emerging as control centers of cellular metabolism, and major regulators of cellular signaling were shown to be activated at the lysosomal surface. To date, >300 proteins were demonstrated to be located in/at the lysosome, and the lysosomal proteome and interactome is constantly growing. For the identification of these proteins, and their involvement in cellular mechanisms or disease progression, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has proven its worth in a large number of studies. In this review, we are recapitulating the application of MS-based approaches for the investigation of the lysosomal proteome, and their application to a diverse set of research questions. Numerous strategies were applied for the enrichment of lysosomes or lysosomal proteins and their identification by MS-based methods. This allowed for the characterization of the lysosomal proteome, the investigation of lysosome-related disorders, the utilization of lysosomal proteins as biomarkers for diseases, and the characterization of lysosome-related cellular mechanisms. While these >60 studies provide a comprehensive picture of the lysosomal proteome across several model organisms and pathological conditions, various proteomics approaches have not been applied to lysosomes yet, and a large number of questions are still left unanswered.

Abstract
CREG1 is a small glycoprotein which has been proposed as a transcription repressor, a secretory ligand, a lysosomal, or a mitochondrial protein. This is largely because of lack of antibodies for immunolocalization validated through gain- and loss-of-function studies. In the present study, we demonstrate, using antibodies validated for immunofluorescence microscopy, that CREG1 is mainly localized to the endosomal-lysosomal compartment. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses reveal an important role for CREG1 in both macropinocytosis and clathrin-dependent endocytosis. CREG1 also promotes acidification of the endosomal-lysosomal compartment and increases lysosomal biogenesis. Functionally, overexpression of CREG1 enhances macroautophagy/autophagy and lysosome-mediated degradation, whereas knockdown or knockout of CREG1 has opposite effects. The function of CREG1 in lysosomal biogenesis is likely attributable to enhanced endocytic trafficking. Our results demonstrate that CREG1 is an endosomal-lysosomal protein implicated in endocytic trafficking and lysosomal biogenesis.Abbreviations: AIFM1/AIF: apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 1; AO: acridine orange; ATP6V1H: ATPase H+ transporting V1 subunit H; CALR: calreticulin; CREG: cellular repressor of E1A stimulated genes; CTSC: cathepsin C; CTSD: cathepsin D; EBAG9/RCAS1: estrogen receptor binding site associated antigen 9; EIPA: 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; GFP: green fluorescent protein; HEXA: hexosaminidase subunit alpha; IGF2R: insulin like growth factor 2 receptor; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; M6PR: mannose-6-phosphate receptor, cation dependent; MAPK1/ERK2: mitogen-activated protein kinase 1; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase complex 1; PDIA2: protein disulfide isomerase family A member 2; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TF: transferrin; TFEB: transcription factor EB.

Abstract
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL), also known as Batten disease, is an incurable childhood brain disease. The thirteen forms of NCL are caused by mutations in thirteen CLN genes. Mutations in one CLN gene, CLN5, cause variant late-infantile NCL, with an age of onset between 4 and 7 years. The CLN5 protein is ubiquitously expressed in the majority of tissues studied and in the brain, CLN5 shows both neuronal and glial cell expression. Mutations in CLN5 are associated with the accumulation of autofluorescent storage material in lysosomes, the recycling units of the cell, in the brain and peripheral tissues. CLN5 resides in the lysosome and its function is still elusive. Initial studies suggested CLN5 was a transmembrane protein, which was later revealed to be processed into a soluble form. Multiple glycosylation sites have been reported, which may dictate its localisation and function. CLN5 interacts with several CLN proteins, and other lysosomal proteins, making it an important candidate to understand lysosomal biology. The existing knowledge on CLN5 biology stems from studies using several model organisms, including mice, sheep, cattle, dogs, social amoeba and cell cultures. Each model organism has its advantages and limitations, making it crucial to adopt a combinatorial approach, using both human cells and model organisms, to understand CLN5 pathologies and design drug therapies. In this comprehensive review, we have summarised and critiqued existing literature on CLN5 and have discussed the missing pieces of the puzzle that need to be addressed to develop an efficient therapy for CLN5 Batten disease.

Abstract
Sulfatases constitute a family of enzymes that specifically act in the hydrolytic degradation of sulfated metabolites by removing sulfate monoesters from various substrates, particularly glycolipids and glycosaminoglycans. A common essential feature of all known eukaryotic sulfatases is the posttranslational modification of a critical cysteine residue in their active site by oxidation to formylglycine (FGly), which is mediated by the FGly-generating enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum and is indispensable for catalytic activity. The majority of the so far described sulfatases localize intracellularly to lysosomes, where they act in different catabolic pathways. Mutations in genes coding for lysosomal sulfatases lead to an accumulation of the sulfated substrates in lysosomes, resulting in impaired cellular function and multisystemic disorders presenting as lysosomal storage diseases, which also cover the mucopolysaccharidoses and metachromatic leukodystrophy. Bioinformatics analysis of the eukaryotic genomes revealed, besides the well described and long known disease-associated sulfatases, additional genes coding for putative enzymes with sulfatases activity, including arylsulfatase G as well as the arylsulfatases H, I, J and K, respectively. In this article, we review current knowledge about lysosomal sulfatases with a special focus on the just recently characterized family members arylsulfatase G and arylsulfatase K.

Abstract
Prior investigations by our research group focused on the method development for the simultaneous analysis of sulfated and phosphorylated glycans. Herein, the developed method was applied to analyze minor acidic N-glycans including sulfated and phosphorylated N-glycans in human serum. First, 2-aminobenzoic acid-labeled minor acidic N-glycans were enriched from the serum using a serotonin-immobilized column and were then separated into groups using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Phosphorylated hybrid-type and sulfated bi-antennary N-glycans were detected in the serum. In addition, we observed that multiple types of glucuronidated N-glycans were present. These results indicate that the developed method is applicable to the analysis of glucuronidated as well as sulfated and phosphorylated N-glycans. It was also applied to the sera obtained from 17 healthy subjects and 15 pancreatic cancer patients, and the profiles of sulfated, phosphorylated, and glucuronidated N-glycans were compared. The expressed amount of glucuronidated N-glycans was significantly decreased in some pancreatic cancer patients. Numerous examples of the N-glycan analysis in human serum were reported, but phosphorylated and glucuronidated glycans were not investigated. The methods described herein allow the analysis of minor acidic glycans that are typically difficult to detect.

Abstract
Lysosomes are the main degradative organelles of cells and involved in a variety of processes including the recycling of macromolecules, storage of compounds, and metabolic signaling. Despite an increasing interest in the proteomic analysis of lysosomes, no systematic study of sample preparation protocols for lysosome enriched fractions has been performed to date. In the current study, we used samples enriched for lysosomes by paramagnetic nanoparticles and systematically evaluated experimental parameters for the analysis of the lysosomal proteome. This includes different approaches for the concentration of lysosome-containing fractions; desalting of samples by solid phase extraction; fractionation of peptide samples; and different gradient lengths for LC-MS/MS analyses of unfractionated samples by data dependent and data independent acquisition. Furthermore, we evaluated four different digestion methods including filter aided sample preparation (FASP), in-gel digestion, and in-solution digestion using either RapiGest or urea. Using the combined data, we generated a benchmark lysosomal proteome data set for mouse embryonic fibroblasts as well as a spectral library for the analysis of lysosomes by data independent acquisition.

Abstract
Mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) glycosylation is an important post-translational modification (PTM) and plays a crucial role in transferring lysosomal hydrolases to lysosome, and is involved in several other biological processes. Aberrant M6P modifications have been implicated in lysosomal storage diseases and numerous other disorders including Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Research on profiling of intact M6P glycopeptides remains challenging due to its extremely low stoichiometry. Here we propose a dual-mode affinity approach to enrich M6P glycopeptides by dual-functional titanium(IV) immobilized metal affinity chromatography [Ti(IV)-IMAC] materials. In combination with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and database search engine, we profiled 237 intact M6P glycopeptides corresponding to 81 M6P glycoproteins in five types of tissues in mouse, representing the first large-scale profiling of M6P glycosylation in mouse samples. The analysis of M6P glycoforms revealed the predominant glycan substrates of this PTM. Gene ontology analysis showed that overrepresented M6P glycoproteins were lysosomal-associated proteins. However, there were still substantial M6P glycoproteins that possessed different subcellular locations and molecular functions. Deep mining of their roles implicated in lysosomal and nonlysosomal function can provide new insights into functional roles of this important yet poorly studied modification.

Abstract
EPDR1, a member of the ependymin-related protein family, is a relatively uncharacterized protein found in the lysosomes and secretomes of most vertebrates. Despite having roles in human disease and health, the molecular functions of EPDR1 remain unknown. Here, we present crystal structures of human EPDR1 and reveal that the protein adopts a fold previously seen only in bacterial proteins related to the LolA lipoprotein transporter. EPDR1 forms a homodimer with an overall shape resembling a half-shell with two non-overlapping hydrophobic grooves on the flat side of the hemisphere. EPDR1 can interact with membranes that contain negatively charged lipids, including BMP and GM1, and we suggest that EPDR1 may function as a lysosomal activator protein or a lipid transporter. A phylogenetic analysis reveals that the fold is more widely distributed than previously suspected, with representatives identified in all branches of cellular life.

Abstract
The plasminogen system is essential for dissolution of fibrin clots, and in addition, it is involved in a wide variety of other physiological processes, including proteolytic activation of growth factors, cell migration, and removal of protein aggregates. On the other hand, uncontrolled plasminogen activation contributes to many pathological processes (e.g. tumor cells' invasion in cancer progression). Moreover, some virulent bacterial species (e.g. Streptococci or Borrelia) bind human plasminogen and hijack the host's plasminogen system to penetrate tissue barriers. Thus, the conversion of plasminogen to the active serine protease plasmin must be tightly regulated. Here, we show that human lactoferrin, an iron-binding milk glycoprotein, blocks plasminogen activation on the cell surface by direct binding to human plasminogen. We mapped the mutual binding sites to the N-terminal region of lactoferrin, encompassed also in the bioactive peptide lactoferricin, and kringle 5 of plasminogen. Finally, lactoferrin blocked tumor cell invasion in vitro and also plasminogen activation driven by Borrelia Our results explain many diverse biological properties of lactoferrin and also suggest that lactoferrin may be useful as a potential tool for therapeutic interventions to prevent both invasive malignant cells and virulent bacteria from penetrating host tissues.

Cation-Independent Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor Deficiency Enhances β-Cell Susceptibility to Palmitate. Mol Cell Biol 2018; 38:MCB.00680-17. [PMID: 29378831 DOI: 10.1128/mcb.00680-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2017] [Accepted: 01/22/2018] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Palmitate attenuates insulin secretion and reduces the viability of insulin-producing cells. Previous studies identified the aberrant palmitoylation or mispalmitoylation of proteins as one mechanism by which palmitate causes β-cell damage. In this report, we identify a role for lysosomal protein degradation as a mechanism by which β cells defend themselves against excess palmitate. The cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) is responsible for the trafficking of mannose 6-phosphate-tagged proteins to lysosomes via Golgi sorting and from extracellular locations through endocytosis. RINm5F cells, which are highly sensitive to palmitate, lack CI-MPR. The reconstitution of CI-MPR expression attenuates the induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the toxic effects of palmitate on RINm5F cell viability. INS832/13 cells express CI-MPR and are resistant to the palmitate-mediated loss of cell viability. The reduction of CI-MPR expression increases the sensitivity of INS832/13 cells to the toxic effects of palmitate treatment. The inhibition of lysosomal acid hydrolase activity by weak base treatment of islets under glucolipotoxic conditions causes islet degeneration that is prevented by the inhibition of protein palmitoylation. These findings indicate that defects in lysosomal function lead to the enhanced sensitivity of insulin-producing cells to palmitate and support a role for normal lysosomal function in the protection of β cells from excess palmitate.

N-glycosylation of human sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3A (SMPDL3A) is essential for stability, secretion and activity. Biochem J 2017; 474:1071-1092. [PMID: 28104755 DOI: 10.1042/bcj20160735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2016] [Revised: 01/14/2017] [Accepted: 01/18/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3A (SMPDL3A) is a recently identified phosphodiesterase, which is a secreted N-linked glycoprotein. SMPDL3A is highly homologous to acid sphingomyelinase (aSMase), but unlike aSMase cannot cleave sphingomyelin. Rather, SMPDL3A hydrolyzes nucleotide tri- and diphosphates and their derivatives. While recent structural studies have shed light on these unexpected substrate preferences, many other aspects of SMPDL3A biology, which may give insight into its function in vivo, remain obscure. Here, we investigate the roles of N-glycosylation in the expression, secretion and activity of human SMPDL3A, using inhibitors of N-glycosylation and site-directed mutagenesis, with either THP-1 macrophages or CHO cells expressing human SMPDL3A. Tunicamycin (TM) treatment resulted in expression of non-glycosylated SMPDL3A that was not secreted, and was largely degraded by the proteasome. Proteasomal inhibition restored levels of SMPDL3A in TM-treated cells, although this non-glycosylated protein lacked phosphodiesterase activity. Enzymatic deglycosylation of purified recombinant SMPDL3A also resulted in significant loss of phosphodiesterase activity. Site-directed mutagenesis of individual N-glycosylation sites in SMPDL3A identified glycosylation of Asn69 and Asn222 as affecting maturation of its N-glycans and secretion. Glycosylation of Asn356 in SMPDL3A, an N-linked site conserved throughout the aSMase-like family, was critical for protection against proteasomal degradation and preservation of enzymatic activity. We provide the first experimental evidence for a predicted 22 residue N-terminal signal peptide in SMPDL3A, which is essential for facilitating glycosylation and is removed from the mature protein secreted from CHO cells. In conclusion, site-specific N-glycosylation is essential for the intracellular stability, secretion and activity of human SMPDL3A.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of lysosomal proteins has led to significant advances in understanding lysosomal function and pathology. The ever-increasing sensitivity and resolution of mass spectrometry in combination with labeling procedures which allow comparative quantitative proteomics can be applied to shed more light on the steadily increasing range of lysosomal functions. In addition, investigation of alterations in lysosomal protein composition in the many lysosomal storage diseases may yield further insights into the molecular pathology of these disorders. Here, we describe a protocol which allows to determine quantitative differences in the lysosomal proteome of cells which are genetically and/or biochemically different or have been exposed to certain stimuli. The method is based on stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). Cells are exposed to superparamagnetic iron oxide particles which are endocytosed and delivered to lysosomes. After homogenization of cells, intact lysosomes are rapidly enriched by passing the cell homogenates over a magnetic column. Lysosomes are eluted after withdrawal of the magnetic field and subjected to mass spectrometry.

Fasciola hepatica Surface Coat Glycoproteins Contain Mannosylated and Phosphorylated N-glycans and Exhibit Immune Modulatory Properties Independent of the Mannose Receptor.

Abstract
Fascioliasis, caused by the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, is a neglected tropical disease infecting over 1 million individuals annually with 17 million people at risk of infection. Like other helminths, F. hepatica employs mechanisms of immune suppression in order to evade its host immune system. In this study the N-glycosylation of F. hepatica’s tegumental coat (FhTeg) and its carbohydrate-dependent interactions with bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were investigated. Mass spectrometric analysis demonstrated that FhTeg N-glycans comprised mainly of oligomannose and to a lesser extent truncated and complex type glycans, including a phosphorylated subset. The interaction of FhTeg with the mannose receptor (MR) was investigated. Binding of FhTeg to MR-transfected CHO cells and BMDCs was blocked when pre-incubated with mannan. We further elucidated the role played by MR in the immunomodulatory mechanism of FhTeg and demonstrated that while FhTeg’s binding was significantly reduced in BMDCs generated from MR knockout mice, the absence of MR did not alter FhTeg’s ability to induce SOCS3 or suppress cytokine secretion from LPS activated BMDCs. A panel of negatively charged monosaccharides (i.e. GlcNAc-4P, Man-6P and GalNAc-4S) were used in an attempt to inhibit the immunoregulatory properties of phosphorylated oligosaccharides. Notably, GalNAc-4S, a known inhibitor of the Cys-domain of MR, efficiently suppressed FhTeg binding to BMDCs and inhibited the expression of suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) 3, a negative regulator the TLR and STAT3 pathway. We conclude that F. hepatica contains high levels of mannose residues and phosphorylated glycoproteins that are crucial in modulating its host’s immune system, however the role played by MR appears to be limited to the initial binding event suggesting that other C-type lectin receptors are involved in the immunomodulatory mechanism of FhTeg. Fascioliasis, caused by the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, is a neglected tropical disease infecting over 1 million individuals annually with 17 million people at risk of infection. These worms infect the liver and can survive for many years in its animal or human host because they supress the host’s immune system that is important in clearing worm infection. Worms are similar to humans in that they are made of proteins, fats and sugars, and while there are many studies on worm proteins, few studies have examined the sugars. We are interested in the sugars because we believe that they help the parasite survive for many years within its host. To examine this, we have used a technique called mass spectrometric analysis to characterise the sugars present in F. hepatica. We also have developed systems in the laboratory to test if these sugars can suppress the host’s immune system. We conclude that F. hepatica sugars are crucial in suppressing its host’s immune system; however, the exact way the sugars can do this requires further studies. These studies are important for the development of worm vaccines or therapies.

Abstract
The 300 kDa cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) plays an essential role in lysosome biogenesis by targeting ∼ 60 different phosphomannosyl-containing acid hydrolases to the lysosome. This type I membrane glycoprotein has a large extracellular region comprised of 15 homologous domains. Two mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) binding sites have been mapped to domains 3 and 9, whereas domain 5 binds preferentially to the phosphodiester, M6P-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). A structure-based sequence alignment predicts that the C-terminal domain 15 contains three out of the four conserved residues identified as essential for carbohydrate recognition by domains 3, 5 and 9 of the CI-MPR, but lacks two cysteine residues that are predicted to form a disulfide bond. To determine whether domain 15 of the CI-MPR has lectin activity and to probe its carbohydrate-binding specificity, truncated forms of the CI-MPR were tested for binding to acid hydrolases with defined N-glycans in surface plasmon resonance analyses, and used to interrogate a phosphorylated glycan microarray. The results show that a construct encoding domains 14-15 binds both M6P and M6P-GlcNAc with similar affinity (Kd = 13 and 17 μM, respectively). Site-directed mutagenesis studies demonstrate the essential role of the conserved Tyr residue in domain 15 for phosphomannosyl binding. A structural model of domain 15 was generated that predicted an Arg residue to be in the binding pocket and mutagenesis studies confirmed its important role in carbohydrate binding. Together, these results show that the CI-MPR contains a fourth carbohydrate-recognition site capable of binding both phosphomonoesters and phosphodiesters.

Abstract
The hyaluronidase Hyal-1 is an acid hydrolase that degrades hyaluronic acid (HA), a component of the extracellular matrix. It is often designated as a lysosomal protein. Yet few data are available on its intracellular localization and trafficking. We demonstrate here that in RAW264.7 murine macrophages, Hyal-1 is synthesized as a glycosylated precursor that is only weakly mannose 6-phosphorylated. Nevertheless, this precursor traffics to endosomes, via a mannose 6-phosphate-independent secretion/recapture mechanism that involves the mannose receptor. Once in endosomes, it is processed into a lower molecular mass form that is transported to lysosomes, where its activity could be detected using native gel zymography. Indeed, this activity co-distributed with lysosomal hydrolases in the densest fraction of a self-forming Percoll(TM) density gradient. Moreover, it shifted toward the lower density region, in parallel with those hydrolases, when a decrease of lysosomal density was induced by the endocytosis of sucrose. Interestingly, the activity of the processed form of Hyal-1 was largely underestimated when assayed by zymography after SDS-PAGE and subsequent renaturation of the proteins, by contrast to the full-length protein that could efficiently degrade HA in those conditions. These results suggest that noncovalent associations support the lysosomal activity of Hyal-1.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA), a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a key role in regulating inflammation. Inflammation is associated with accumulation and turnover of HA polymers by multiple cell types. Increasingly through the years, HA has become recognized as an active participant in inflammatory, angiogenic, fibrotic, and cancer promoting processes. HA and its binding proteins regulate the expression of inflammatory genes, the recruitment of inflammatory cells, the release of inflammatory cytokines, and can attenuate the course of inflammation, providing protection against tissue damage. A growing body of evidence suggests the cell responses are HA molecular weight dependent. HA fragments generated by multiple mechanisms throughout the course of inflammatory pathologies, elicit cellular responses distinct from intact HA. This review focuses on the role of HA in the promotion and resolution of inflammation.

Abstract
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases caused by mutations in several different genes. Mutations in CLN5 cause a variant late-infantile human disease and some cases of juvenile and adult clinical disease. NCLs also occur in animals, and a flock of New Zealand Borderdale sheep with a CLN5 splice-site mutation has been developed for model studies. Dissociated mixed neural cells from CLN5-deficient foetal sheep brains contained no obvious storage bodies at plating but these accumulated rapidly in culture, mainly in microglial cells and also in neurons and astrocytes. Accumulation was very obvious after a week, as monitored by fluorescent microscopy and immunostaining for subunit c of mitochondrial ATP synthase. Photography at intervals revealed the dynamic nature of the cultures and a flow of storage bodies between cells, specifically the phagocytosis of storage-body containing cells by microglia and incorporation of the storage bodies into the host cells. No storage was observed in cultured control cells. Transduction of cell cultures with a lentiviral vector expressing a C-terminal Myc tagged CLN5 resulted in secretion of post-translationally glycosylated and processed CLN5. Transduction of CLN5-deficient cultures with this construct rapidly reversed storage body accumulation, to less than half in only six days. These results show that storage body accumulation is reversible with enzyme correction and support the use of these cultures for testing of therapeutics prior to whole animal studies.

Abstract
One late infantile variant of the neurodegenerative disease neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is caused by a mutation in the CLN5 gene. CLN5 encodes a lysosomal glycoprotein whose structure and function have not yet been clearly defined. In the present study, we used epitope-tagged CLN5 to determine the topology and solubility of the CLN5 protein. Our results indicated that CLN5 is synthesized as a type II transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic N-terminus, one TM segment, and a large luminal C-terminal domain containing an amphipathic helix (AH). The cytoplasmic and TM domains were rapidly removed following signal-peptide cleavage, and the resulting mature CLN5 was tightly associated with the lumen of the membrane through the AH. CLN5 pathological mutants deprived of AH lose their membrane association, are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, and are rapidly degraded by the proteasomal machinery. We experimentally define the topology of CLN5 and demonstrate the existence of an AH that anchors the protein to the membrane. Our work sheds light on the basic properties of CLN5 required to better understand its biological functions and involvement in NCL pathogenesis.

Abstract
Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP, EC 3.4.16.2), a lysosomal carboxypeptidase, was discovered 45 years ago. However, research has been hampered by a lack of well-validated assays that are needed to measure low activities in biological samples. Two reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) methods for quantifying PRCP activity in crude homogenates and plasma samples were optimized and validated. PRCP activity was determined by measuring the hydrolysis of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-l-proline (Z-Pro)-Phe. The enzymatically formed Z-Pro and Phe were measured independently under different HPLC conditions. The in-house methods showed good precision, linearity, accuracy, and specificity. Based on Michaelis-Menten constants, Z-Pro-Phe was chosen over Z-Pro-Ala as the substrate of preference. Cross-reactivity studies with dipeptidyl peptidases (DPPs) 2, 4, and 9 and prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) confirmed the specificity of the PRCP activity assay. The average PRCP activity in plasma and serum of 32 healthy individuals was found to be 0.65 ± 0.02 and 0.72 ± 0.03 U/L, respectively. Both methods can be used to measure PRCP activity specifically in different biological samples and are well suited to evaluate PRCP inhibitors. These well-validated methods are valuable tools for studying PRCP's role in cardiovascular diseases, stroke, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles present in almost all eukaryotic cells, which play a fundamental role in key aspects of cellular homeostasis such as membrane repair, autophagy, endocitosis and protein metabolism. The characterization of the genes and enzymes constituting the lysosome represents a central issue to be addressed toward a better understanding of the biology of this organelle. In humans, mutations that cause lysosomal enzyme deficiencies result in >50 different disorders and severe pathologies. So far, many experimental efforts using different methodologies have been carried out to identity lysosomal genes. The Human Lysosome Gene Database (hLGDB) is the first resource that provides a comprehensive and accessible census of the human genes belonging to the lysosomal system. This database was developed by collecting and annotating gene lists from many different sources. References to the studies that have identified each gene are provided together with cross databases gene related information. Special attention has been given to the regulation of the genes through microRNAs and the transcription factor EB. The hLGDB can be easily queried to retrieve, combine and analyze information on different lists of lysosomal genes and their regulation by microRNA (binding sites predicted by five different algorithms). The hLGDB is an open access dynamic project that will permit in the future to collapse in a unique publicly accessible resource all the available biological information about lysosome genes and their regulation.

Abstract
Glycosylation plays an essential role in regulating protein function by modulating biological, structural, and therapeutic properties. However, due to its inherent heterogeneity and diversity, the comprehensive analysis of protein glycosylation remains a challenge. As part of our continuing effort in the analysis of glycosylation profiles of recombinant HIV-1 envelope-based immunogens, we evaluated and compared the host-cell specific glycosylation pattern of recombinant HIV-1 surface glycoprotein, gp120, derived from clade C transmitted/founder virus 1086.C expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and human embryonic kidney containing T antigen (293T) cell lines. We used an integrated glycopeptide-based mass mapping workflow that includes a partial deglycosylation step described in our previous study with the inclusion of a fragmentation technique, electron transfer dissociation (ETD), to complement collision-induced dissociation. The inclusion of ETD facilitated the analysis by providing additional validation for glycopeptide identification and expanding the identified glycopeptides to include coverage of O-linked glycosylation. The site-specific glycosylation analysis shows that the transmitted/founder 1086.C gp120 expressed in CHO and 293T displayed distinct similarities and differences. For N-linked glycosylation, two sites (N386 and N392) in the V4 region were populated with high mannose glycans in the CHO cell-derived 1086.C gp120, while these sites had a mixture of high mannose and processed glycans in the 293T cell-derived 1086.C gp120. Compositional analysis of O-linked glycans revealed that 293T cell-derived 1086.C gp120 consisted of core 1, 2, and 4 type O-linked glycans, while CHO cell-derived 1086.C exclusively consisted of core 1 type O-linked glycans. Overall, glycosylation site occupancy of the CHO and 293T cell-derived 1086.C gp120 showed a high degree of similarity except for one site at N88 in the C1 region. This site was partially occupied in 293T-gp120 but fully occupied in CHO-gp120. Site-specific glycopeptide analysis of transmitted/founder 1086.C gp120 expressed in CHO cells revealed the presence of phosphorylated glycans, while 293T cell-produced 1086.C gp120 glycans were not phosphorylated. While the influence of phosphorylated glycans on immunogenicity is unclear, distinguishing host-cell specific variations in glycosylation profiles provide insights into the similarity (or difference) in recombinant vaccine products. While these differences had minimal effect on envelope antigenicity, they may be important in considering immunogenicity and functional capacities of recombinant envelope proteins produced in different expression systems.

Abstract
The nematocyst is a complex intracellular structure unique to Cnidaria. When triggered to discharge, the nematocyst explosively releases a long spiny, tubule that delivers an often highly venomous mixture of components. The box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri, produces exceptionally potent and rapid-acting venom and its stings to humans cause severe localized and systemic effects that are potentially life-threatening. In an effort to identify toxins that could be responsible for the serious health effects caused by C. fleckeri and related species, we used a proteomic approach to profile the protein components of C. fleckeri venom. Collectively, 61 proteins were identified, including toxins and proteins important for nematocyte development and nematocyst formation (nematogenesis). The most abundant toxins identified were isoforms of a taxonomically restricted family of potent cnidarian proteins. These toxins are associated with cytolytic, nociceptive, inflammatory, dermonecrotic and lethal properties and expansion of this important protein family goes some way to explaining the destructive and potentially fatal effects of C. fleckeri venom. Venom proteins and their post-translational modifications (PTMs) were further characterized using toxin-specific antibodies and phosphoprotein/glycoprotein-specific stains. Results indicated that glycosylation is a common PTM of the toxin family while a lack of cross-reactivity by toxin-specific antibodies infers there is significant divergence in structure and possibly function among family members. This study provides insight into the depth and diversity of protein toxins produced by harmful box jellyfish and represents the first description of a cubozoan jellyfish venom proteome.

Abstract
The success of enzymatic replacement in Gaucher disease has stimulated development of targeted protein replacement for other lysosomal disorders, including Anderson-Fabry disease, which causes fatal cardiac, cerebrovascular and renal injury: deficiency of lysosomal α-Galactosidase A induces accumulation of glycosphingolipids. Endothelial cell storage was the primary endpoint in a clinical trial that led to market authorization. Two α-Galactosidase A preparations are licensed worldwide, but fatal outcomes persist, with storage remaining in many tissues. We compare mechanisms of uptake of α -Galactosidase A into cells relevant to Fabry disease, in order to investigate if the enzyme is targeted to the lysosomes in a mannose-6-phosphate receptor dependent fashion, as generally believed. α -Galactosidase A uptake was examined in fibroblasts, four different endothelial cell models, and hepatic cells in vitro. Uptake of europium-labeled human α -Galactosidase A was measured by time-resolved fluorescence. Ligand-specific uptake was quantified in inhibitor studies. Targeting to the lysosome was determined by precipitation and by confocal microscopy. The quantity and location of cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptors in the different cell models were investigated using confocal microscopy. Uptake and delivery of α -Galactosidase A to lysosomes in fibroblasts is mediated by the canonical mannose-6-phosphate receptor pathway, but in endothelial cells in vitro this mechanism does not operate. Moreover, this observation is supported by a striking paucity of expression of cation independent mannose-6-phosphate receptors on the plasma membrane of the four endothelial cell models and by little delivery of enzyme to lysosomes, when compared with fibroblasts. If these observations are confirmed in vivo, alternative mechanisms will be needed to explain the ready clearance of storage from endothelial cells in patients undergoing enzyme replacement therapy.

Abstract
Triclosan (TCS, 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol) is commonly used in several personal care products, textiles, and children's toys. Because the removal of TCS by wastewater treatment plants is incomplete, its environmental fate is to be discharged into freshwater ecosystems, where its ecotoxicological impact is still largely unexplored. Previously, we began a structured multi-tiered approach in order to evaluate TCS toxicity in the freshwater mussel Dreissena polymorpha. The results of our previous studies, based on in vitro and in vivo experiments, highlighted a pronounced cytogenotoxic effect exerted by TCS, and showed that an increase in oxidative stress was likely to be one of its main toxic mechanisms. In this work, in order to investigate TCS toxicity mechanisms in aquatic non-target species in greater depth, we decided to use a proteomic approach, analysing changes in protein expression profiles in gills of D. polymorpha exposed for seven days to TCS. Moreover, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were measured to investigate further the role played by TCS in inducing oxidative stress. Finally, TCS bioaccumulation in mussel tissues was also assessed, to ensure an effective accumulation of the toxicant. Our results not only confirmed the role played by TCS in inducing oxidative stress, but furthered knowledge about the mechanism exerted by TCS in inducing toxicity in an aquatic non-target organisms. TCS induced significant alterations in protein expression profiles in gills of D. polymorpha. The wide range of proteins affected suggested that this chemical has marked effects on various biological processes, especially those involved in calcium binding or stress response. We also confirmed that the proteomic analysis, using 2-DE and de novo sequencing, is a reliable and powerful approach to investigate cellular responses to pollutants in a non-model organism with few genomic sequences available in databases.

Abstract
Latent TGF-β1 was one of the first non-lysosomal glycoproteins reported to bear mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) residues on its N-glycans. Prior studies have suggested that this sugar modification regulates the activation of latent TGF-β1 by allowing it to bind cell surface-localized Man-6-P receptors. Man-6-P has also been proposed as an anti-scarring therapy based on its ability to directly block the activation of latent TGF-β1. A complete understanding of the physiological relevance of latent TGF-β1 mannose phosphorylation, however, is still lacking. Here we investigate the degree of mannose phosphorylation on secreted latent TGF-β1 and examine its Man-6-P-dependent activation in primary human corneal stromal fibroblasts. Contrary to earlier reports, minimal to no Man-6-P modification was found on secreted and cell-associated latent TGF-β1 produced from multiple primary and transformed cell types. Results showed that the inability to detect Man-6-P residues was not due to masking by the latent TGF-β1-binding protein (LTBP). Moreover, the efficient processing of glycans on latent TGF-β1 to complex type structures was consistent with the lack of mannose phosphorylation during biosynthesis. We further demonstrated that the conversion of corneal stromal fibroblast to myofibroblasts, a well known TGF-β1-dependent process, was not altered by Man-6-P addition when latent forms of this growth factor were present. Collectively, these findings indicate that Man-6-P-dependent effects on latent TGF-β1 activation are not mediated by direct modification of its latency-associated peptide.

Abstract
In addition to soluble acid hydrolases, many nonlysosomal proteins have been shown to bear mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) residues. Quantification of the extent of mannose phosphorylation and the relevance to physiological function, however, remain poorly defined. In this study, we investigated the mannose phosphorylation status of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a previously identified high affinity ligand for the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR), and we analyzed the effects of this modification on its secretion and uptake in cultured cells. When media from LIF-overexpressing cells were fractionated using a CI-MPR affinity column, 35-45% of the total LIF molecules were bound and specifically eluted with free Man-6-P thus confirming LIF as a bona fide Man-6-P-modified protein. Surprisingly, mass spectrometric analysis of LIF glycopeptides enriched on the CI-MPR column revealed that all six N-glycan sites could be Man-6-P-modified. The relative utilization of these sites, however, was not uniform. Analysis of glycan-deleted LIF mutants demonstrated that loss of glycans bearing the majority of Man-6-P residues leads to higher steady-state levels of secreted LIF. Using mouse embryonic stem cells, we showed that the mannose phosphorylation of LIF mediates its internalization thereby reducing extracellular levels and stimulating embryonic stem cell differentiation. Finally, immunofluorescence experiments indicate that LIF is targeted directly to lysosomes following its biosynthesis, providing another mechanism whereby mannose phosphorylation serves to control extracellular levels of LIF. Failure to modify LIF in the context of mucolipidosis II and its subsequent accumulation in the extracellular space may have important implications for disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs; Batten disease) are inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases with common clinical features of blindness and seizures culminating in premature death. Gene-therapy strategies for these diseases depend on whether the missing activity is a secreted lysosomal protein taken up by neighboring cells, or an intramembrane protein that requires careful targeting. Therapies are best developed in animal models with large complex human-like brains. Lentiviral-mediated gene delivery to neural cell cultures from normal sheep and sheep affected with an NCL resulted in green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression in neurons and neuroblasts, more efficiently than in astrocytes. Similar transgene expression was obtained from two constitutive promoters, the viral MND promoter and the human EF1α promoter. In vivo studies showed stable and persistent GFP expression throughout the cell bodies, axons, and dendrites from intracortical injections and indicated ependymal and subependymal transduction. The sheep showed no ill effects from the injections. These data support continuing gene-therapy trials in the sheep models of Batten disease.

Abstract
One approach to the functional characterization of the lysosome lies in the use of proteomic methods to identify proteins in subcellular fractions enriched for this organelle. However, distinguishing between true lysosomal residents and proteins from other cofractionating organelles is challenging. To this end, we implemented a quantitative mass spectrometry approach based on the selective decrease in the buoyant density of liver lysosomes that occurs when animals are treated with Triton-WR1339. Liver lysosome-enriched preparations from control and treated rats were fractionated by isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Tryptic peptides derived from gradient fractions were reacted with isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation eight-plex labeling reagents and analyzed by two-dimensional liquid chromatography matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS. Reporter ion intensities were used to generate relative protein distribution profiles across both types of gradients. A distribution index was calculated for each identified protein and used to determine a probability of lysosomal residence by quadratic discriminant analysis. This analysis suggests that several proteins assigned to the lysosome in other proteomics studies are not true lysosomal residents. Conversely, results support lysosomal residency for other proteins that are either not or only tentatively assigned to this location. The density shift for two proteins, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase and ATP-binding cassette subfamily B (MDR/TAP) member 6, was corroborated by quantitative Western blotting. Additional balance sheet analyses on differential centrifugation fractions revealed that Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase is predominantly cytosolic with a secondary lysosomal localization whereas ATP-binding cassette subfamily B (MDR/TAP) member 6 is predominantly lysosomal. These results establish a quantitative mass spectrometric/subcellular fractionation approach for identification of lysosomal proteins and underscore the necessity of balance sheet analysis for localization studies.

Abstract
We have previously cloned a cDNA encoding human prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) and expressed the cDNA in the Schneider 2 (S2) drosophila cell line. Here, we further characterized this recombinant enzyme. Investigations were performed to determine whether recombinant PRCP (rPRCP) metabolizes kinins (BK 1-9 and BK 1-8). The metabolites of these kinins were identified by LC/MS. rPRCP metabolized BK 1-8 to BK 1-7, whereas rPRCP was ineffective in metabolizing BK 1-9. The hydrolysis of BK 1-8 by rPRCP was dose- and time-dependent. A homology model of PRCP was developed based upon the sequence of dipeptidyl-peptidase 7 (DPP7, PDB ID: 3JYH), and providentially, the structure of PRCP (PDB ID: 3N2Z) was characterized during the course of our investigation. Docking studies of bradykinin oligopeptides were performed both from the homology model, and from the crystal structure of PRCP. These docking studies may provide a better understanding of the contribution of specific residues involved in substrate selectivity of human PRCP.

Abstract
Lysosomes are organelles of eukaryotic cells that are critically involved in the degradation of macromolecules mainly delivered by endocytosis and autophagocytosis. Degradation is achieved by more than 60 hydrolases sequestered by a single phospholipid bilayer. The lysosomal membrane facilitates interaction and fusion with other compartments and harbours transport proteins catalysing the export of catabolites, thereby allowing their recycling. Lysosomal proteins have been addressed in various proteomic studies that are compared in this review regarding the source of material, the organelle/protein purification scheme, the proteomic methodology applied and the proteins identified. Distinguishing true constituents of an organelle from co-purifying contaminants is a central issue in subcellular proteomics, with additional implications for lysosomes as being the site of degradation of many cellular and extracellular proteins. Although many of the lysosomal hydrolases were identified by classical biochemical approaches, the knowledge about the protein composition of the lysosomal membrane has remained fragmentary for a long time. Using proteomics many novel lysosomal candidate proteins have been discovered and it can be expected that their functional characterisation will help to understand functions of lysosomes at a molecular level that have been characterised only phenomenologically so far and to generally deepen our understanding of this indispensable organelle.

Abstract
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are caused by mutations in eight different genes, are characterized by lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent storage material, and result in a disease that causes degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS). Although functions are defined for some of the soluble proteins that are defective in NCL (cathepsin D, PPT1, and TPP1), the primary function of the other proteins defective in NCLs (CLN3, CLN5, CLN6, CLN7, and CLN8) remain poorly defined. Understanding the localization and network of interactions for these proteins can offer clues as to the function of the NCL proteins and also the pathways that will be disrupted in their absence. Here, we present a review of the current understanding of the localization, interactions, and function of the proteins associated with NCL.

Abstract
Classical late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of children caused by mutations in TPP1, the gene encoding the lysosomal protease tripeptidyl peptidase 1. LINCL is characterized by lysosomal accumulation of storage material of which only a single protein component, subunit c of mitochondrial ATP synthase, has been well established to date. Identification of other protein constituents of the storage material could provide useful insights into the pathophysiology of disease and the natural substrates for TPP1. We have therefore initiated a proteomic analysis of storage material in brain from a LINCL mouse model. One protein, GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), was found to be elevated in the LINCL mice compared with normal controls in both isolated storage bodies and a lysosome-enriched subcellular fraction that contains storage material. To determine whether GFAP accumulates within the lysosome in LINCL, we examined its intracellular distribution using subcellular fractionation and morphological methods. These experiments demonstrate that GFAP is not a component of the storage material in LINCL, suggesting that reports of GFAP storage in other NCLs may need to be re-examined. A number of other proteins were elevated in the storage material and/or lysosome-enriched fraction from the LINCL mice, but it remains unclear whether these proteins are true constituents of the storage material or, like GFAP, whether they associate with this material upon purification.

Abstract
The most abundant venom protein of the parasitoid wasp Asobara tabida was identified to be an aspartylglucosaminidase (hereafter named AtAGA). The aim of the present work is the identification of: 1) its cDNA and deduced amino acid sequences, 2) its subunits organization and 3) its activity. The cDNA of AtAGA coded for a proalphabeta precursor molecule preceded by a signal peptide of 19 amino acids. The gene products were detected specifically in the wasp venom gland (in which it could be found) under two forms: an (active) heterotetramer composed of two alpha and two beta subunits of 30 and 18 kDa respectively and a homodimer of 44 kDa precursor. The activity of AtAGA enzyme showed a limited tolerance toward variations of pH and temperatures. Since the enzyme failed to exhibit any glycopeptide N-glycosidase activity toward entire glycoproteins, its activity seemed to be restricted to the deglycosylation of free glycosylasparagines like human AGA, indicating AtAGA did not evolve a broader function in the course of evolution. The study of this enzyme may allow a better understanding of the functional evolution of venom enzymes in hymenopteran parasitoids.

Abstract
Background The lysosomal 66.3 kDa protein from mouse is a soluble, mannose 6-phosphate containing protein of so far unknown function. It is synthesized as a glycosylated 75 kDa precursor that undergoes limited proteolysis leading to a 28 kDa N- and a 40 kDa C-terminal fragment. Results In order to gain insight into the function and the post-translational maturation process of the glycosylated 66.3 kDa protein, three crystal structures were determined that represent different maturation states. These structures demonstrate that the 28 kDa and 40 kDa fragment which have been derived by a proteolytic cleavage remain associated. Mass spectrometric analysis confirmed the subsequent trimming of the C-terminus of the 28 kDa fragment making a large pocket accessible, at the bottom of which the putative active site is located. The crystal structures reveal a significant similarity of the 66.3 kDa protein to several bacterial hydrolases. The core αββα sandwich fold and a cysteine residue at the N-terminus of the 40 kDa fragment (C249) classify the 66.3 kDa protein as a member of the structurally defined N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolase superfamily. Conclusion Due to the close resemblance of the 66.3 kDa protein to members of the Ntn hydrolase superfamily a hydrolytic activity on substrates containing a non-peptide amide bond seems reasonable. The structural homology which comprises both the overall fold and essential active site residues also implies an autocatalytic maturation process of the lysosomal 66.3 kDa protein. Upon the proteolytic cleavage between S248 and C249, a deep pocket becomes solvent accessible, which harbors the putative active site of the 66.3 kDa protein.

Abstract
Diagnosis of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) can be problematic in atypical cases where clinical phenotype may overlap with other genetically distinct disorders. In addition, LSDs may result from mutations in genes not yet implicated in disease. Thus, there are individuals that are diagnosed with apparent LSD based upon clinical criteria where the gene defect remains elusive. The objective of this study was to determine whether comparative proteomics approaches could provide useful insights into such cases. Most LSDs arise from mutations in genes encoding lysosomal proteins that contain mannose 6-phosphate, a carbohydrate modification that acts as a signal for intracellular targeting to the lysosome. We purified mannose 6-phosphorylated proteins by affinity chromatography and estimated relative abundance of individual proteins in the mixture by spectral counting of peptides detected by tandem mass spectrometry. Our rationale was that proteins that are decreased or absent in patients compared with controls could represent candidates for the primary defect, directing biochemical or genetics studies. On a survey of brain autopsy specimens from 23 patients with either confirmed or possible lysosomal disease, this approach identified or validated the genetic basis for disease in eight cases. These results indicate that this protein expression approach is useful for identifying defects in cases of undiagnosed lysosomal disease, and we demonstrated that it can be used with more accessible patient samples, e.g. cultured cells. Furthermore this approach was instrumental in the identification or validation of mutations in two lysosomal proteins, CLN5 and sulfamidase, in the adult form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.

Abstract
Macrophages have long been known to secrete a Phospholipase A(2) with an acidic pH optimum in response to phagocytic stimuli. However, the enzyme or enzymes responsible for this activity have not been identified. We report that mouse alveolar macrophages release lysosomal phospholipase A(2) (LPLA(2)) into the medium of cultured cells following stimulation with zymosan. The release of the enzyme was detected by enzymatic activity assays as well as by Western blotting using an Ab against mouse LPLA(2). LPLA(2) is a high mannose type glycoprotein found in lysosomes, suggesting that the released enzyme might be reincorporated into alveolar macrophages via a mannose or mannose phosphate receptor. Recombinant glycosylated mouse LPLA(2) produced by HEK293 cells was applied to LPLA(2)-deficient (LPLA(2)(-/-)) mouse alveolar macrophages. The uptake of exogenous LPLA(2) into LPLA(2)(-/-) alveolar macrophages occurred in a concentration-dependent manner. The LPLA(2) taken into the alveolar macrophages colocalized with the lysosomal marker, Lamp-1. This uptake was significantly suppressed in the presence of alpha-methyl-mannoside but not in the presence of mannose 6-phosphate. Thus, the predominant pathway for uptake of exogenous LPLA(2) is via the mannose receptor, with subsequent translocation into acidic, Lamp-1-associated compartments. LPLA(2)(-/-) alveolar macrophages are characterized by marked accumulation of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Treatment with the recombinant LPLA(2) rescued the LPLA(2)(-/-) alveolar macrophages by markedly decreasing the phospholipid accumulation. The application of a catalytically inactive LPLA(2) revealed that the enzymatic activity of LPLA(2) was required for the phospholipid reduction. These studies identify LPLA(2) as a high m.w.-secreted Phospholipase A(2).

Abstract
Defects in lysosomal function have been associated with numerous monogenic human diseases typically classified as lysosomal storage diseases. However, there is increasing evidence that lysosomal proteins are also involved in more widespread human diseases including cancer and Alzheimer disease. Thus, there is a continuing interest in understanding the cellular functions of the lysosome and an emerging approach to this is the identification of its constituent proteins by proteomic analyses. To date, the mammalian lysosome has been shown to contain approximately 60 soluble luminal proteins and approximately 25 transmembrane proteins. However, recent proteomic studies based upon affinity purification of soluble components or subcellular fractionation to obtain both soluble and membrane components suggest that there may be many more of both classes of protein resident within this organelle than previously appreciated. Discovery of such proteins has important implications for understanding the function and the dynamics of the lysosome but can also lead the way towards the discovery of the genetic basis for human diseases of hitherto unknown etiology. Here, we describe current approaches to lysosomal proteomics and data interpretation and review the new lysosomal proteins that have recently emerged from such studies.

Abstract
Identification of glycosylated proteins, especially those in the plasma membrane, has the potential of defining diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets as well as increasing our understanding of changes occurring in the glycoproteome during normal differentiation and disease processes. Although many cellular proteins are glycosylated they are rarely identified by mass spectrometric analysis (e.g. shotgun proteomics) of total cell lysates. Therefore, methods that specifically target glycoproteins are necessary to facilitate their isolation from total cell lysates prior to their identification by mass spectrometry-based analysis. To enrich for plasma membrane glycoproteins the methods must selectively target characteristics associated with proteins within this compartment. We demonstrate that the application of two methods, one that uses periodate to label glycoproteins of intact cells and a hydrazide resin to capture the labeled glycoproteins and another that targets glycoproteins with sialic acid residues using lectin affinity chromatography, in conjunction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is effective for plasma membrane glycoprotein identification. We demonstrate that this combination of methods dramatically increases coverage of the plasma membrane proteome (more than one-half of the membrane glycoproteins were identified by the two methods uniquely) and also results in the identification of a large number of secreted glycoproteins. Our approach avoids the need for subcellular fractionation and utilizes a simple detergent lysis step that effectively solubilizes membrane glycoproteins. The plasma membrane localization of a subset of proteins identified was validated, and the dynamics of their expression in HeLa cells was evaluated during the cell cycle. Results obtained from the cell cycle studies demonstrate that plasma membrane protein expression can change up to 4-fold as cells transit the cell cycle and demonstrate the need to consider such changes when carrying out quantitative proteomics comparison of cell lines.

Abstract
Most patients receiving Naglazyme (galsulfase, rhASB) enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis type VI develop an antibody response. To evaluate the impact of this response, two in vitro neutralizing antibody (NAb) assays were developed based on the two steps of the mechanism of action. Neutralization of enzyme activity was detected by inhibition of rhASB cleavage of a fluorogenic substrate. Neutralization of receptor binding was detected by decreased binding of labeled rhASB to immobilized soluble receptor. For the enzyme activity NAb assay, serum pretreatment was required to isolate antibodies from interfering phosphate ions, with sensitivity of < or =5 microg/mL. The receptor binding NAb assay used a five-fold dilution, with sensitivity of < or =40 microg/mL. Cutpoints for percent inhibition were based on 95% confidence intervals from naïve sera. Clinical samples were similarly likely to be positive in both assays than positive for neutralization of only one step in the mechanism of action. The two NAb assays yielded complementary information about potential neutralization of rhASB. Relative estimated sensitivity between neutralization assays did not correlate with the number of positive clinical samples or patients. In vitro NAb assays based on a well-understood mechanism of action provide specific information about the NAb mechanism.

Abstract
The two members of the P-type lectin family, the 46 kDa cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CD-MPR) and the 300 kDa cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR), are ubiquitously expressed throughout the animal kingdom and are distinguished from all other lectins by their ability to recognize phosphorylated mannose residues. The best-characterized function of the MPRs is their ability to direct the delivery of approximately 60 different newly synthesized soluble lysosomal enzymes bearing mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) on their N-linked oligosaccharides to the lysosome. In addition to its intracellular role in lysosome biogenesis, the CI-MPR, but not the CD-MPR, participates in a number of other biological processes by interacting with various molecules at the cell surface. The list of extracellular ligands recognized by this multifunctional receptor has grown to include a diverse spectrum of Man-6-P-containing proteins as well as several non-Man-6-P-containing ligands. Recent structural studies have given us a clearer view of how these two receptors use related, but yet distinct, approaches in the recognition of phosphomannosyl residues.

Abstract
Most luminal lysosomal proteins are synthesized as precursors containing mannose 6-phosphate (Man6-P) and a number of recent studies have conducted affinity purification of Man6-P containing proteins as a step toward defining the composition of the lysosome. Approximately 60 known lysosomal proteins have been found in such studies as well as many other Man-6-P glycoproteins, some of which represent new lysosomal proteins. The latter are of considerable interest from cell-biological and biomedical perspectives, but differentiating between them and other proteins remains a significant challenge. The aim of this study was to conduct a global analysis of the mammalian Man6-P glycoproteome, implementing technical and biostatistical methods to aid in the discovery and validation of lysosomal candidates. We purified Man6-P glycoproteins from 17 individual rat tissues. To distinguish nonspecific contaminants (i.e., abundant or "sticky" proteins that are not fully removed during purification) from specifically purified proteins, we conducted a semiquantitative mass spectrometric comparison of protein levels in nonspecific mock eluates versus specific affinity chromatography eluates to identify those proteins that are specifically purified. We identified 60 known lysosomal proteins, representing nearly all that are currently known to contain Man-6-P. We also find 136 other proteins that are specifically purified but which are not known to have lysosomal function. This approach provides a list of candidate lysosomal proteins and also provides insights into the relative distribution of Man6-P glycoproteins.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Biomarker discovery is a major objective of clinical proteomics; molecular biomarkers allow for detection of early-stage human diseases, especially cancer, and for monitoring their progression and/or regression after treatment. Biomarkers also help to elucidate the pathology of disease and its diagnosis, drug discovery, and toxicology. Glycans are ideal candidates for biomarkers because (1) glycoconjugates are localized on the cell surface and in the secretions such as plasma, (2) their structures are frequently and drastically changed during normal and aberrant cell differentiation, and (3) different cell types express different glycan signatures. Certain serodiagnostic glycoconjugate markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), are currently available; however, comprehensive glycome analysis has yet to be performed, mainly because of the difficulties of isolating and structurally analyzing complex glycans. Large-scale glycoprotein analysis, termed glycoproteomics, has the potential to effectively trace cellular glycoproteins and therefore to search for new serodiagnostic biomarkers.
Conclusions
In this review, we describe current mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics technologies. Quantitative “shotgun” proteomics analyses of glycopeptides captured from complex biological mixtures such as plasma, coupled with advanced glycome technologies, enhance our knowledge of protein glycosylation and facilitate discovery of new biomarkers for human diseases.

Abstract
Growing evidence suggest that microglia may play an important role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and so forth. The activation of microglia may cause neuronal damage through the release of reactive oxygen species and proinflammatory cytokines. However, the early response of microglial cells remains unclear before cells can secrete the proinflammatory cytokines. Here, a time course analysis showed the earliest expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 at 3 and 24 h following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. To further define initial response proteins of microglia after LPS treatment, we utilized a novel mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic technique termed SILAC (for stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture) to compare the protein profiles of the cell culture-conditioned media of 1 h LPS-treated microglia as compared with controls. The proteomic analysis identified 77 secreted proteins using SignalP; of these, 28 proteins were associated with lysosome of cells and 13 lysosome-related proteins displayed significant changes in the relative abundance after 1 h LPS treatment. Four proteins were further evaluated with Western blot, demonstrating good agreement with quantitative proteomic data. These results suggested that microglia first released some lysosomal enzymes which may be involved in neuronal damage process. Furthermore, ammonium chloride, which inhibits microglia lysosomal enzyme activity, could prevent microglia from causing neuronal injury. Hence, in addition to the numerous novel proteins that are potentially important in microglial activation-mediated neurodegeneration revealed by the search, the study has indicated that the early release of lysosomal enzymes in microglial cells would contribute to LPS-activated inflammatory response.

Abstract
This chapter describes the process of production, purification, separation, and mass spectrometry identification of soluble lysosomal proteins. The rationale for purification of these proteins resides in their characteristic sugar, the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P), which allows an easy purification by affinity chromatography on immobilized M6P receptor (MPR). The secretion of M6P proteins (essentially soluble lysosomal proteins) from cells in culture is induced by adding a weak base in the culture medium. Secreted proteins are ammonium sulfate precipitated, dialyzed, and loaded onto the immobilized MPR column. After specific elution and collection of the M6P proteins, these are resolved by either bidimensional or monodimensional gel electrophoresis (designated as 2-DE or 1-DE, respectively). Mass spectrometry analysis is performed on spots excised from the 2-DE gel, or on discrete bands covering altogether the whole length of the 1-DE gel lane: these spots or bands are in-gel digested with trypsin and protein identification is obtained, thanks to peptide mass fingerprints [provided by analysis of the digests by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS)] or peptide amino acid sequences (provided by analysis of the digests by the coupling between liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry, LC-MS/MS).

Abstract
Most mammalian cells contain two types of mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) receptors (MPRs): the 300 kDa cation-independent (CI) MPR and 46 kDa cation-dependent (CD) MPR. The two MPRs have overlapping function in intracellular targeting of newly synthesized lysosomal proteins, but both are required for efficient targeting. Despite extensive investigation, the relative roles and specialized functions of each MPR in targeting of specific proteins remain questions of fundamental interest. One possibility is that most Man-6-P glycoproteins are transported by both MPRs, but there may be subsets that are preferentially transported by each. To investigate this, we have conducted a proteomics analysis of serum from mice lacking either MPR with the reasoning that lysosomal proteins that are selectively transported by a given MPR should be preferentially secreted into the bloodstream in its absence. We purified and identified Man-6-P glycoproteins and glycopeptides from wild-type, CDMPR-deficient, and CIMPR-deficient mouse serum and found both lysosomal proteins and proteins not currently thought to have lysosomal function. Different mass spectrometric approaches (spectral count analysis of nanospray LC-MS/MS experiments on unlabeled samples and LC-MALDI/TOF/TOF experiments on iTRAQ-labeled samples) revealed a number of proteins that appear specifically elevated in serum from each MPR-deficient mouse. Man-6-P glycoforms of cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes 1, tripeptidyl peptidase I, and heparanase were elevated in absence of the CDMPR and Man-6-P glycoforms of alpha-mannosidase B1, cathepsin D, and prosaposin were elevated in the absence of the CIMPR. Results were confirmed by Western blot analyses for select proteins. This study provides a comparison of different quantitative mass spectrometric approaches and provides the first report of proteins whose cellular targeting appears to be MPR-selective under physiological conditions.
