Subcellular localization of the oncoprotein MTG8 (CDR/ETO) in neural cells
The t(8;21) translocation associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) disrupts two genes, the AML1 gene also known as the core binding factor A2 (CBFA2) on chromosome 21, and a gene on chromosome 8, hereafter re...

The fragile X syndrome
The fragile X syndrome is caused by the amplification of a polymorphic CGG repeat in the 5′ untranslated region of the FMR1 gene and is the most common form of inherited mental retardation. When the repeat is ...

A fluorimetric enzyme assay for the diagnosis of sanfilippo disease type A (MPS IIIA)
4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-d-N-sulphoglucosaminide (MU-α-GlcNS) was synthesized and shown to be a substrate for the lysosomal heparin sulphamidase. Sanfilippo A patients' fibroblasts (n=42) and lymphocytes (n=1) show...

A quantitative immunoelectronmicroscopic study on soluble, membrane-associated and membrane-bound lysosomal enzymes in human intestinal epithelial cells
We have used quantitative immunoelectronmicroscopy to compare thein situ localization of acid α-glucosidase, lysosomal acid phosphatase, β-hexosaminidase and glucocerebrosidase in intestinal epithelial cells of t...

The presence of a reduced amount of 32-kd “protective” protein is a distinct biochemical finding in late infantile galactosialidosis
The biochemical defect underlying the late infantile form of galactosialidosis has been investigated in fibroblasts from two patients presenting with this phenotype. Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate...

Ultrastructural localization of steroid sulphatase in cultured human fibroblasts by immunocytochemistry: A comparative study with lysosomal enzymes and the mannose 6-phosphate receptor
Immunocytochemistry was used to study the subcellular localization of steroid sulphatase in cultured human fibroblasts. Ultra-thin cryosections were incubated with antibodies raised against steroid sulphatase ...

Studies on cross-reacting material to steroid sulphatase in fibroblasts from patients affected by different types of steroid sulphatase deficiency
Immunologically cross-reacting material to antibodies against steroid sulphatase has not been found in fibroblasts from patients with steroid sulphatase deficiency.

Immunoelectron Microscopical Localization of Lysosomal Hydrolases in Normal and I-Cell Fibroblasts
In fibroblasts newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes are transported to the lysosomes by means of the mannose 6-phosphate markerreceptor system [1]. This transport mechanism is defective in fibroblasts from pati...

Ganglioside GM1 metabolism in living human fibroblasts with β-galactosidase deficiency
The uptake and catabolism of [3H-ceramide]-GM1 was followed in living fibroblasts from patient with different forms of β-galactosidase deficiency. Gangliosides are identified according to the nomenclature of Sven...

Sucrase-isomaltase and cystic fibrosis
The intestinal microvillar enzyme complex sucrase-isomaltase has been studied in cystic fibrosis and control ileum. A number of biochemical parameters of the enzyme in ileum homogenates have been determined. B...

Genetic complementation in somatic cell hybrids of four variants of infantile GM2 gangliosidosis
Cell hybridizations between fibroblasts of four variants (B, O, AB, and B1) of infantile GM2 gangliosidosis were performed. Cocultivated as well as hybrid cells were analyzed for their capability to degrade exoge...

Article
Genetic heterogeneity in human neuraminidase deficiency
There is a deficiency of human α-N-acetylneuraminidase in several inherited diseases. In patients with mucolipidosis I (refs 1, 2) and in adults with a variant form without bony abnormalities and mental retardati...

Characterization of residual hexosaminidase activity in Sandhoff's disease using man-Chinese hamster cell hybrids
To obtain information about the nature of the residual hexosaminidase activity in Sandhoff's disease, hybrid cell lines between fibroblasts from a patients with Sandhoff's disease and Chinese hamster cells wer...
