Abstract excerpt
The GM2 activator protein (GM2AP) is an accessory protein that is an essential component in the catabolism of the ganglioside GM2. A function of GM2AP is to bind and extract GM2 from intralysosomal vesicles, forming a soluble protein-lipid complex, which interacts with the hydrolase Hexosaminidase A, the enzyme that cleaves the terminal sugar group of GM2. Here, we used site-directed spin labeling with power...
