Crystal structure of human ?-galactosidase: structural basis of Gm1 gangliosidosis and morquio B diseases.


ABSTRACT: G(M1) gangliosidosis and Morquio B are autosomal recessive lysosomal storage diseases associated with a neurodegenerative disorder or dwarfism and skeletal abnormalities, respectively. These diseases are caused by deficiencies in the lysosomal enzyme ?-d-galactosidase (?-Gal), which lead to accumulations of the ?-Gal substrates, G(M1) ganglioside, and keratan sulfate. ?-Gal is an exoglycosidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal ?-linked galactose residues. This study shows the crystal structures of human ?-Gal in complex with its catalytic product galactose or with its inhibitor 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin. Human ?-Gal is composed of a catalytic TIM barrel domain followed by ?-domain 1 and ?-domain 2. To gain structural insight into the molecular defects of ?-Gal in the above diseases, the disease-causing mutations were mapped onto the three-dimensional structure. Finally, the possible causes of the diseases are discussed.
