Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmic tail of MPR46 carries a leucine-based motif that is required for the sorting of lysosomal enzymes by the receptor. In addition, it is one of three independent, but functionally redundant, internalization signals present in the cytoplasmic tail of MPR46. We have analyzed a mutant of MPR46, in which the dileucine pair was replaced by alanines (MPR46 LL/AA) with respect to its intracellular...
