Abstract excerpt
Dictyostelium discoideum is a useful system to study the biosynthesis of lysosomal enzymes because of the relative ease with which it can be manipulated genetically and biochemically. Previous studies have revealed that lysosomal enzymes are synthesized in vegetatively growing amoebae as glycosylated precursor polypeptides that are phosphorylated and sulfated on their N-linked oligosaccharide side-chains upon...
